Chris Brown

Rihanna arriving at a tattoo parlor in West Hollywood (1/5)

It's a little strange that Rihanna hasn't distanced herself from Chris Brown since he beat the shit out of her three years ago (they talk all the time on Twitter), and now Us Weekly says the two "have been secretly hooking up for a year." Gee, I hope he doesn't break her heart again . . .and by "heart" I mean "orbital bone." A source told the mag:

"[Rihanna] and Brown meet up very casually ... She comes to see him anytime she's in L.A."

Explains a music industry source: "They can't get enough of each other. I don't see it ending well."

"Rihanna loves to live dangerously, and talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that," adds a Rihanna insider.

Is this a surprise? Rihanna has been miserable since Chris stopped busting her womb on the regular. Whatever, dude. I guess I'm happy for them. This dispels a couple of rumors about these two lovebirds. The first, Rihanna can take a whipping and keep on ticking. Second, Chris Brown may not be gay after all.

Chris Brown is banned in the UK

Chris Brown was supposed to join Snooki onstage at the Michael Jackson tribute concert over the weekend . . . yeah, so about that assault charge from a few years ago. From the Mirror:

Chris Brown has been BARRED from coming here to perform at Michael Jackson’s tribute concert, Michael Forever, in Cardiff on Saturday. Brown, who admitted assaulting RiRi when they were dating in 2009, has been refused a work visa due to his criminal record. It was suggested Brown perform as a hologram from the US but a source said: "It would put a negative slant on the day. The family wants to make sure the show is a fitting tribute to Michael."

I'm starting to wonder why we revolted from the British in the first place. They've at least got their priorities straight. Any guy that hits a woman SHOULD be banned from your country. Of course, forcing criminals to stay out of their country is nothing new for the British -- it's why Australians speak English.

Chris Brown probably tapped that ass

Chris Brown received a standing ovation after the dance medley he performed Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards. Um, except from Jay-Z, who sat stone-faced in the front row (pic here). That may have something to do with that fact that he discovered Rihanna and is pretty much like a brother to her. Also loving Chris' performance was Lindsay Lohan, who didn't attend the VMAs because she couldn't afford bus fare. She tweeted:



And then followed that up with:



Remember Lindsay -- if you want this relationship with Chris to work, you have to stand up for yourself. Nothing he hates more than a passive woman. Don't be afraid to voice your opinion, no matter how much Chris disagrees with it. And if you have to criticize him -- particularly right to his face in a disrespectin'-like manner -- I think you'll be greeted with a warm smile.

Chris Brown out and about in New York (3/22)

Just a few days after Chris Brown threw a chair at a window in New York, the New York Post says his publicist Tammy Brook "will no longer be representing him." In other words, she quit. Sources close to Brook say she left Chris so she could work with a more "likable" and "charming" individual. She's expected to start with Muammar Gaddafi early next week.

Workers repairing the window this afternoon

Turns out that acting like a homicidal maniac is not the wisest thing to do when you're on probation. After Chris Brown broke a window with a chair this morning, ABC staffers called the police to document the broken window, which pretty much means he's screwed. TMZ says:

During the conversation between the staffer and a glass repairman, the staffer says "I have a police officer coming just to take a look at it before we do any work." Despite the conversation, NYPD sources tell us ... none of their officers were dispatched to the scene.

If Chris did indeed smash the window, it probably constitutes at least 2 crimes -- vandalism and assault on the passersby below.   As a result, the judge in the Rihanna battery case could revoke Chris' probation and, worst case scenario, he could end up in prison.

Whatever, prison is nothing to Chris Brown. Have you seen his tattoos? They're pretty damn intimidating. Based on my years of bar-hopping experience, guys with that many tattoos are very tough and strong -- especially if they're wearing a really tight "TapouT" shirt. Once Chris starts calling everyone "faggot" and "bro," those guys in prison will know he's not to be messed with.

Chris Brown leaving Good Morning America studios in New York this morning

While promoting your new album, it's probably not the best idea in the world to remind everyone what a violent lunatic you are, but hey, no one ever said Chris Brown was smart. Anyways, Chris flipped the fuck out after an interview by Robin Roberts this morning on Good Morning America after she kept repeatedly asking him about the Rihanna "incident." Being the sane man he is, Chris smashed a window backstage after the interview and then took his shirt off and exited the building (it was cold?). Of course. From TMZ:

We're told after the interview, Brown freaked out, storming into his dressing room and screaming so loud, the people in hair and makeup became alarmed and called security.

We're told Brown was out of control, and one source present tells us he smashed a window in his dressing room, and the glass shattered and some shards fell onto 43rd and Broadway.  ABC security tells TMZ ... the window was shattered with a chair.

We're told by the time security rushed the area, Brown had ripped off his shirt and left the building, blowing off another performance he was supposed to do for the ABC website.

And sources say ... on his way out of the building, Brown confronted a segment producer, got in his face and stared him down.   People from the show got in between Chris and the producer to diffuse the situation.

Let's not jump to conclusions about this. We can't be totally sure that Chris was angry about being asked about Rihanna. For example, maybe he was really really mad about his March Madness brackets being all messed up. I mean, honestly, who had Virginia Commonwealth in the Sweet 16? Not me.

Rihanna looks bruisy

Via MediaTakeOut (in case you couldn't tell), here's some new picture of Rihanna's face from the night it picked a fight with Chris Brown's fists and lost. I don't know, are we sure that Chris beat her up? Just looking at these pictures, it seems like she could have easily tripped and fallen down 70 flights of stairs. Maybe we're all being too hard on him. I think I owe him a big hug.

Chris Brown leaving My Studio nightclub in Hollywood (1/10)

Chris Brown hit up My Studio nightclub in Hollywood after the Lakers/Knicks game last night, and he must have been drinking a lot of water, because he took a huge piss outside when he left. Maybe not the smartest thing to do, especially when you're still on probation. Also not the smartest thing to do: indoor skeet shooting. Seriously, that shit is scary.

NOTE: Thanks to Leena at FlashCity.com for the picture. Have a bitchin' summer and don't ever change.

Chris Brown and a "friend" in Miami Beach (9/7)

Little Maggie Jones has a rare form of terminal juvenile Parkinson's disease. Last April, doctors gave her 3 months to live. But Maggie's a fighter so she refused to let go. Two weeks ago, the Make-A-Wish Foundation stepped in to lift her spirits. Maggie just wanted to see the beach. The funny thing is she can't swim; she just wanted to feel the sand between her toes. Maggie got her wish and was flown down to Miami on Tuesday. And then Chris Brown threw her into the ocean and she died. The end.
