Judge Praises Chris Brown; National Enquirer: Rihanna Hates Chris

MrsGrapevine — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:24:40 +0000

Every time it seems like the drama is coming to an end, the news brings it back to the forefront. Singer R&B Chris Brown appeared in court yesterday, and the judge was proud of the progress he’s made. I don’t know if he’s genuinely remorseful, or if he just knows we’re all watching, but most abusers are not so willing to do the time because they don’t feel they’re guilty. Most abusers have every excuse in the word, and for Chris Brown to take full responsibility without justifying his actions (not that they he could anyway), isn’t something that should go unnoticed. I hope the classes work, and I hope he’s not putting on a front to win back favor or fans.

LOS ANGELES – Chris Brown won praise from a judge Thursday for keeping up with the terms of his punishment for beating Rihanna. “Excellent,” L.A. County Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg said when informed by Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos that the “Kiss Kiss” singer has completed 100 hours of his lengthy community labor requirement.

“It’s an extremely favorable progress report,” Schnegg said, referring to Brown’s formal probation update. She said Brown has attended seven of his 52 mandatory domestic violence counseling sessions, paid all his court fines and given a sample of his DNA.

She ordered Brown back for another status report Feb. 18. [Source]

The National Enquirer is reporting that a “friend” of Rihanna claims Rihanna “despises” Chris Brown, and that Chris Brown has been sending her e-mails up until October trying to win her back…Click “continue reading” for the juicy details.

The 21-year-old singer cannot bear to discuss her relationship with Chris with those close to her, and is still struggling to come to terms with the violent assault he inflicted on her in February. Chris was sentenced to five years probation, six months community labour, 52 weeks of domestic violence classes and ordered to stay away from her for five years following the altercation.

The source told National Enquirer magazine: “Behind the scenes the truth is Rihanna despises Chris – so much so that if someone mentions him in passing she’ll say, ‘Please don’t talk about him.’

“She absolutely did the right thing by being classy in the interview, rather than coming off as vindictive. But I’ve even heard her curse Chris out for what he did to her. She did love him deeply, but in reality those feelings have died away.”

The source explained: “Up until October, Chris was stills ending her emails saying they should go out together for dinner or drinks. Rihanna finally got to the point where she threatened to go to the judge if he kept on bothering her. He’s stopped since then.” [Source]

Michael Jackson’s Accuser Of Molestation Father Found Dead Of Suicide; Evan Chandler Suicide

MrsGrapevine — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:37:04 +0000

The father of the young boy who accused Michael Jackson of molestation was found dead, an apparent suicide with self-inflicted gun wound. Evan Chandler, the father of Jordan Chandler, settle out of court for large sum of money, and left a stain on Michael Jackson’s career.

According to MTV, the Evan Chandler, the father suffered from a mental condition (which explains why he would let a grown man sleep in the same bed as his child):

Evan Chandler, 65, the father of a young boy who alleged that he was molested by Michael Jackson in 1994, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his luxury apartment in New Jersey earlier this month.

RadarOnline.com reported that Chandler’s body was found on November 5 by the concierge at his apartment building.

“There was no note found in the apartment, but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition,” a Jersey City police spokesperson told the site. Police said Chandler was found dead on his bed with a single gunshot wound to his head and a gun in his hand in what they believe was suicide. Police were sent to check on the gravely ill Chandler after he’d missed a doctor’s appointment.

Judge To Gucci Mane Go Straight To Jail For 12 Months

MrsGrapevine — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:20:13 +0000

I don’t know what Gucci Mane has done, all I know is that it violated his probation, and the kind judge sentenced him to 12 months in jail because of his actions. Poor Gucci Mane, he’s on every track like Lil Wayne was last year, and now he and Lil Wayne will be serving time. I wonder what the violation was, obviously this story will continued as more information comes in. But for now, MTV reports that Gucci Mane is going to jail for probation violation:

Gucci Mane was sentenced to 12 months in jail on Thursday (November 12) for probation violation and taken away in handcuffs, according to his lawyer.Mane pleaded guilty to assault in 2005 for attacking a nightclub promoter, and last September, he was sentenced to a year in jail for failing to fulfill his court-ordered 600 hours of community service in that case. He went to jail and served until March. Upon his release, Gucci went straight to the studio and recorded five songs.

The sentence is a blow to Gucci’s career. The ATL rapper has an album coming out — The State vs. Radric Davis — on December 8 and is arguably at the height of his career; in terms of his sentence, he may be out of jail in six months.

WTH Sammy Sosa: Do You Have Vitligo, Too

MrsGrapevine — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:59:45 +0000

I knw you have seen the pictures of Sammy Sosa, and all I can do is SMH! Bloggers have the reputation for being mean, but let me explain why. We are opinionated people that you know in your everyday lives, and our platform to express ourselves are our blogs. We say what many people are thinking, and right now I’m thinking, not another Michael Jackson. I mean seriously if Sammy was going to bleach his skin he could have at least done it gradually one shade at a time. But he went from dark to Brad Pitt, in the blink of eye. Bloggers are tired of the “bs” that is celebrity, that’s why we’re so mean. How can you see something like this, and not say word, or have an opinion?

I know I’m late, but I just could not give up the opportunity to express my concern. To read more and to hear what other bloggers have to say check out my girl Miss Jia.

In a recent interview with Spanish TV Univision, Sosa explains that he was not trying to look white, or follow in Michael Jackson’s footsteps: (Really!?!)

Sammy Sosa says he wasn’t trying to look white like Mike.

The ex-Cubs slugger said a European skin cream he uses at bedtime combined with a strong camera flash caused his face to appear ghost white in a recent headline-grabbing photo from Las Vegas — and he “respected” Michael Jackson too much to try to match his appearance.

I’m doing well, doing well, thanks to God. A little surprised by the tsunami of attention,” Sosa told a reporter for Spanish TV network Univision, the New York Daily News reports.

“I use a cream to keep my skin smooth and soft,” he said without naming the product. “I apply it before I go to bed. When I was playing for Chicago all those years, I was in the sun a lot for one o’clock games.”

Sosa said he’s such a fan of the mystery cream, in fact, that he’s in negotiations with its maker to go to bat as a company pitchman. [Source]

When Sosa’s ghostly photo from the Latin Grammys first appeared, speculation centered on whether his lighter appearance was the result of vitiligo, a skin-whitening condition that Michael Jackson said he suffered from.

Sosa denied he was trying to emulate the late King of Pop.

“Not at all, I respect him very much,” he said. “I’m not a racist. I’m not like that. I’m just a happy person.”

Katt Williams Arrested In Georgia For Burglary & Criminal Trespassing

MrsGrapevine — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:17:52 +0000

I don’t feel well today, but I had to get up just make this post. Kat Williams was arrested in Georgia for breaking in a home. Only two things would make a person behave the way Kat Williams has been lately, he’s either of his meds or on the pipe. According to AP:

ATLANTA — Comedian and rapper Katt Williams remained jailed in suburban Atlanta on Monday after police said they arrested the entertainer for breaking into a home.

Williams, who police say is 38, is charged with burglary and criminal trespassing, according to Coweta County Sheriff’s Office Major James Yarbrough.

A deputy at the Coweta County Jail confirmed Williams was being held there and that a magistrate was expected to set bond at an arraignment Monday afternoon.

Yarbrough said the Sunday night incident happened at a home in Newnan, about 38 miles southwest of Atlanta. Yarbrough said the unidentified homeowner called police around 9 p.m. to report the comedian “gained entry by breaking into the home, and items were taken from the residence.”

Yarbrough said jewelry was taken, but did not have further details.

Williams, whose real name is Micah S. Katt Williams, is known for his roles in the movies “Friday After Next” and “Norbit.” His comedy DVD, “Katt Williams: Pimpadelic,” was no. 8 in the nation for sales during the week of Oct. 30, according to Nielsen/VideoScan.

But lately the entertainer has gained as much attention for criminal troubles as for his quips.

He was briefly jailed last November after New York police who pull him over for driving without a license plate discovered three guns. Manhattan prosecutors dropped weapons charges in July after running into problems proving their case.

The Story Behind The Story: Chris Brown Versus Rihanna Assault & Album Sales

MrsGrapevine — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:32:45 +0000

I have had my share of grief because people feel like I favor Chris Brown, thus I support domestic violence. Not sure how they come to that leap, but those are the accusation many of us who have asked the media to slow down and be fair, have received. I don’t condone domestic violence against women, or against men. I don’t think anyone no matter how weak they are should hit anyone else. (Glad we got that out the way).

Behind the scenes there is a war of truths going on, and it has been ignited with Rihanna’s interview with Diane Sawyer. The problem is that there is a big “gap” and huge “hole” between the time that Rihanna admits to finding a text message that proved Chris Brown was cheating, until the time Chris Brown started assaulting her. All Rihanna has said about that gap is that it escalated, but she doesn’t say how it escalated. Chris closest friends maintains that he is a good guy, and that Rihanna “knows” what she did during this “gap” in the story, and that it was completely foul and will certainly turn public opinion against her. Friends of both parties just want Rihanna to tell the “whole” story. So many people in Chris Brown’s camp want to speak out so bad that they have taken to twitter of all places to defend him:

In the history of their relationship, Chris Brown has not initiated a violent act against Rihanna. Each time a situation of violence has occurred, it was initiated by Rihanna and Chris Brown has always managed to control or redirect his anger.

People who claim to be closest to Chris Brown say the Rihanna interview was a media stunt, and that she was forced by her handlers to say certain things in the interview to restore her career, and to destroy that of Chris Brown. They also maintain the truth will come out oneday. I don’t know what’s true, but I do know the year began with Chris Brown and Rihanna and the year will end with Chris Brown and Rihanna.

Please Note: Chris Brown has taken full responsibility for the assault, and has not charged Rihanna with any wrongdoing. He has chosen to not talk about any of the details that lead to the assault. I don’t know if that was for legal reasons, or out of love for Rihanna.

This is about to get messy…

More Proof Alicia Keys Knew Swizz Beats Was Married To Mashonda

Sorry, Alicia Keys but your private life just keeps coming into my inbox and onto my twitter page. I have never defended Alicia Keys actions, but I did give her the benefit of the doubt. Now, YBF has exclusive pictures of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats kissing back in January of 2008, which is quite strange considering rumors were flying around that the two were seen kissing at the Museum of Art in NYC before Mashonda and Swizz Beats split. I see why celebrities want to keep their private lives private. Click here to read more…

When I was single, I had the mindset that you can’t make a man cheat, and if a man cheats it has nothing to do with the mistress. Now that I am married, I now see that women are a lot more sneaky than perhaps I thought before, and that anyone that is knowingly dating a married man, needs to fall back, until the ink dries.

If a man really loves you, why is it so hard for him to get a divorce and be with you? Don’t let him blame it on the kids because the kids usually know what’s up. When has enough time passed before you begin to realize you’re being played just like his wife? I don’t know if the statistic is true, but only 3% of the married men who cheat on their wives actually marry their mistress? Those that marry their mistress have high divorce rates, and I wonder why.

Other News: Lindsay Lohan Is In Need Of A Maia Campbell Style Intervention

MrsGrapevine — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:43:02 +0000

Calling on my girl Miss Jia, we need another Maia Campbell-style intervention because Lindsay Lohan is gone. Normally we focus on women of color, but I think we need to adopt Lindsay Lohan into our community, because the girl is truly lost. I just did a post on how ageless Halle Berry appears, only to some across these photos of Lindsay Lohan in court. I mean she just turned 23 in July, and in these pictures she looks older than Liz Taylor. Are we sure it’s just alcohol and stress, because honestly, she may be one line away from a pipe. I’m not trying to be mean, but someone needs to help her instead of riding the gravy train of her past success. It’s sad when parents are more interested in being their child’s friends that they allow this to happen just to avoid being cut off.

Busta Rhymes To Pay $75,000 For Punching Man In Club

MrsGrapevine — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:10:02 +0000

Busta Rhymes to pay $75,000 to assault victim. This may actually be good news for Busta Rhymes, considering the victim and his lawyer were seeking $500,000 in damages due to psychological after effects. To top it all off, Busta Rhymes lawyer didn’t even bother to show to for the trial or hearing.

A Brooklyn hearing officer yesterday ordered rap star Busta Rhymes to fork over $75,000 to an Albany man who was doused with water, pummeled with bottles and sucker-punched by the hip-hop star and a bodyguard.

The injured man, Alex Duncan, testified that he suffered nightmares and psychological after-effects of the Sept. 13, 2003, attack during a break in a rap concert at SUNY Albany.

“It’s all right,” Duncan, 32, a recently laid-off school groundskeeper, said of the award.

“I wanted something to come out of it. I don’t even go to parties anymore, because there’s always someone asking, ‘What happened to that Busta Rhymes case?’ ”

Duncan’s lawyer, Ronald Hart, had requested $500,000 of the hearing officer, Luigi Marano.

Rhymes’ lawyer, Robert Kalina, was a no-show for both the trial and yesterday’s damages hearing. He did not return a call seeking comment. [Source]

Usher 911 Call To Police To Report Tameka Allege Outrage

MrsGrapevine — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:02:28 +0000

RadarOnline has the 911 tape of Usher Raymond call to 911, reporting that Tameka Raymond keyed his car. The great thing about this tape is that we learn Usher’s home address and “office” number.

In case you haven’t heard, Usher claims Tameka was acting psycho one night calling his mama’s house, and banging on the door late night demanding her kids. The incident must have really frightened Usher and his mother, because they called 911 to report Tameka. The next day Usher SUV was “allegedly” keyed by the ex, Tamkea Raymond. Now I must inform you that the police found no evidence to support Usher’s claim. So either Tameka is really sneaky, or Usher is not telling the whole truth. So it’s a classic case of he said/she said, all played out in the media.

Anyway to get Usher’s address and phone or to listen to 911 call, click here…

It’s not Tameka Foster that’s holding up the Divorce, it’s Usher. Blogxilla exclusively reveals to Global Grind that Tameka Foster is ready to finalize the divorce “papers”, but Usher is stalling the process. Honestly, if he’s stalling the process, I don’t think it has anything to do with not letting go of Tameka Foster. We all know he’s already moved on, so I’m thinking it’s one of two things: his pocket book or album timing.[To get the juice on this story check out Blogxilla]

Tila Tequila Suicide Movement On Twitter, & Her Devout Belief In God

MrsGrapevine — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:13:18 +0000

I’m really tired of this “woman”, and I by calling her a “woman” I am being extremely nice. Every week on twitter there is a different stunt to gain attention, and to generate some publicity, but this time Ms. Tequila has crossed the line, and it’s time for people to stop supporting her. (Thanks Walker23)

This morning on twitter, Tila Tequila decides to tell the world that she is going to commit suicide, and kill herself. I know at first it sounds tragic, but then she keeps going on and about the reasons she wants to die. The reasons are because black people are lazy, racist, and she’s tired of black on black crime. So let me get this straight an Asian woman is going to kill herself because blacks are lazy and kill each other…It gets worst.

I guess after realizing that didn’t make any sense, Tila then says that she is God’s chosen one to deliver black people a message that the world is coming to an end in 2012. *crickets* huh? You heard me right, God has revealed to Tila Tequila the day the earth will end, and it’s all due to black poverty in America.

I know you don’t believe. I could not make this up if I tried, so you will just have to read it for yourself:

There is more she just keep going and going…

Yesterday was an exciting day of TV, but if you missed it don’t worry, I got you. Jay-Z was on Oprah yesterday discussing the N-Word and his rise from the projects to business mogul. Oh! He also taught Oprah how to rap…

People are going to get mad at me because they buy into these princess images, but Bobby Brown was on VH1 Behind the Music with a revealing interview. Now when Whitney Houston was on Oprah, I felt she wasn’t tell the whole truth about her drug use, and blamed everything on Bobby Brown. I don’t think Whitney came clean, and I could probably understand why. Bobby Brown on the other hand admitted to not only doing drugs like cocaine, but heroin as well. He said he doesn’t remember 5 years of his life because he spent it so high. Most importantly, this time he quit cold turkey, because rehab failed him three times. Anyway you can see for yourself…

Two Black Kids Beat One White Kid While Others Just Watch

MrsGrapevine — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:13:20 +0000

If this was child what would you do?

The Drudge Report introduced this story racially tinged. The fact of the matter is two blacks kids were caught on tape beating a white kid, but I don’t know if race was the motivation considering there were several other white kids on the bus who watched and did nothing to save the poor kid. I am so ashamed that kids found this humorous, and when it gets out of control two black boys step in to protect the white kid.

This all started when the new kid (white) needed to find a seat on the bus, and no one would allow the kid to sit next to them, so he took the first available seat, so he thought. Seconds after sitting down, a black boy next to him began pushing him and eventually hitting him in the face. Watch as the kids go wild as if they’re at fight club, and watch as two black boys decide to step in and stop the fiasco…

If this is your child you should be ashamed, and you may need to be arrested right along with him. I don’t think race was the motivation, but it doesn’t matter because it’s wrong in every shape and form. What are people teaching their kids, today? Honestly!

Is Tila Tequila Spreading Lies? Did Shawne Merriman Assault Tila?

MrsGrapevine — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:52:33 +0000

When I first heard this story, I didn’t think it would grow any legs. I didn’t think people really cared what Tila Tequila had to say, but I guess since it was a domestic violence allegation people decided to listen. When this girl keeps spreading lies on twitter, it’s time to get her twitter account shut down for misrepresentation. Shawne Merriman claims he did not assault Tila Nguyen, he was just trying to stop her from driving drunk. Tila “Tequila” responded on twiiter, that she’s allergic to alcohol. Hmmmm….

Evidence #1: According to the bartender that night:

James Brennan, the owner of the Stingaree nightclub, said several of his employees told him she drank several shots of tequila and sipped a bottle of vodka.

“She wasn’t like falling down or anything of that nature, but she was visibly intoxicated,” Brennan told the AP.

“It sounds like she’s allergic to the truth.”

Evidence #2: According to Tila’s twitter page, she was intoxicated:

If her defense is she wasn’t drinking because she’s allergic to drinking, then she turns around and tweets I’m drunk and throwed, that just sounds suspect to me. What’s more suspect is that those tweets have magically been deleted. Now there are allegations of steroid use. Apparently, there are missing tweets that implies Shawne Merriman’s allege steroids use may have lead to the abuse that night.

Thank God for twitpic, MissJia has the missing tweets. If tila tequila doesn’t have anything to hide, why does she keep deleting tweets. Anyway click here to read about the steroid allegations.
