			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>WELP. Hope his paycheck clears before this blows up in his face! <strong>Charles Barkley</strong> has recently <a title="Charles Barkley Hub - Weight Watchers" href="http://www.weightwatchers.com/templates/Marketing/Marketing_Utool_1col.aspx?pageid=1316051" target="_blank">joined</a> <strong>Jennifer Hudson</strong> in losing weight with <strong><em>Weight Watchers</em></strong> and becoming their newest celebrity spokesperson. <strong>Charles</strong> has lost about 23 pounds and is on his way to losing more, looking pretty slim and trim.</p>

	<p>Yeah. Well&#8230;about that&#8230;so during a recent Hawks and Heat game (and by recent, I mean LAST NIGHT), <strong>Charles</strong> decided to talk to co anchors <strong>Reggie Miller </strong>and <strong>Kevin Harlan</strong> about his experience in <strong><em>Weight Watchers</em></strong> so far.  Charles didn&#8217;t realize that his mic was still on and&#8230;uhh..calls <strong><em>WW</em></strong> a scam.</p>
	<blockquote><p>&#8230;I thought this was the greatest scam going, getting paid to watch sports&#8230;this Weight Watchers things is a bigger scam.</p></blockquote>
	<p>Man. Countdown to your endorsement gig getting YANKED is ON, dude.  <strong><em>Check out the clip for yourself, after the jump&#8230;</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Fresh off the airplane, <strong>Kim Kardashian</strong> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">and those hips</span> arrived in Dubai today, for a series of promotional activities.  Upon touching down, the media went right to questions about her marriage to basketball player <strong>Kris Humphries</strong> and floating rumors regarding a prenuptial agreement between the two.</p>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Kim-Kardashian.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24643" title="Kim Kardashian" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Kim-Kardashian.jpg" alt="Kim Kardashian Lets Discuss: Prenup Or No Prenup? + Kim Kardashian Stays Silent" width="400" height="600" /></a></p>
	<p>According to <a title="Kim Kardashian on prenup" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/13/us-kimkardashian-idUSTRE79C4IN20111013" target="_blank">Reuters</a>, Kim and Kris&#8217; televised nuptials this past week <em><strong>brought in about 3.2 million watchers, solidifying her place as one of the most highest paid reality television stars today.</strong></em> Personally, I&#8217;m not a fan of reality TV. It&#8217;s an oxymoron, in my opinion (it&#8217;s supposed to be reality but you have script writers? Girl, I guess&#8230;<span style="color: #c178c2;"><em><strong>*side eye*</strong></em></span>), but ole girl has made it a profitable business. Can&#8217;t knock the hustle.  See what she had to say and voice your opinion, after the jump&#8230;</p>
	<blockquote><p><span id="more-24642"></span></p>
	<p>Asked on Thursday whether she had signed a pre-nuptial agreement, Kardashian said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t really talk finances. My father was an attorney and I&#8217;m a smart girl &#8212; I&#8217;d like to think so &#8212; you can do the math.</p>
	<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t worry about that.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
	<p>So, I think we all pretty much believe that there&#8217;s some kind of agreement here, especially when talking about a person who has branded herself and created a mini empire.  But for the average person, <strong>what do you think</strong>?  <em>Is having a prenuptial smart or is it starting off your marriage on the wrong foot?  Is it meant to protect everyone involved or is it preparing for the inevitable?</em> The floor is open, speak your mind!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Gabrielle Union</strong> is not against plastic surgery, just the needles involved in the process. So until their is a less invasive way to alter her looks, <strong>Gabrielle Union</strong> is staying as natural as possible. <strong>Gabrielle Union</strong> tells People, that she does not foresee plastic surgery in her future:</p>
	<blockquote><p>None for me. It&#8217;s not a matter of judgement. I&#8217;m deathly afraid of needles. If there was a way to skip them, I would do it. <span style="font-size: x-small;">And we&#8217;ve yet to come up with reasonable Botox in a  bottle, so I&#8217;m just lucky I don&#8217;t have crazy wrinkles. I have a fine  line around my mouth because I smile a lot. I&#8217;m not doing anything about  it!</span></p></blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/NBA-All-Star-Game-Tmobile-Gabrielle-Union-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20273" title="NBA All Star Game Tmobile Gabrielle Union 2" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/NBA-All-Star-Game-Tmobile-Gabrielle-Union-2.jpg" alt="NBA All Star Game Tmobile Gabrielle Union 2 Gabrielle Union Says No Plastic Surgery In Her Future" width="446" height="594" /></a></p>
	<p style="text-align: left;">Honestly, it&#8217;s not like she needs plastic surgery anyway, she&#8217;s a beautiful woman. But when asked about butt injections, <strong>Gabrielle Union</strong> admits she needs to do something to change her back side from being too little:</p>
	<p><span id="more-24603"></span></p>
	<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">My butt has gotten a lot better because it&#8217;s bigger. I do squats and walk on inclines. I don&#8217;t look like a scarecrow anymore. </span>I should really back into rooms because that&#8217;s how confident I am.</p></blockquote>
	<p>I am glad she&#8217;s found her confidence!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><em><span style="color: #c178c2;">Ouch!</span> </em>By now you have heard about <strong>Rihanna&#8217;s</strong> topless photos from the set of her new video, <em><strong>We Found Love</strong></em>. By now you may also know that the farmer who owns the land where the video is being shot in <em>Northern Ireland</em> is outraged that <strong>Rihanna</strong> is frolicking topless on his property. The farmer, <strong>Alan Graham</strong> <em>(61)</em>, also has a few extra words for the singer according to the BBC:</p>
	<blockquote><p><em>I thought it was inappropriate. I requested them to stop and they did. I had my conversation with Rihanna and I hope she understands where I’m coming from. We shook hands.</em></p></blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Rihanna-Topless-Video-We-Found-Love.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24232" title="Rihanna Topless Video We Found Love" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Rihanna-Topless-Video-We-Found-Love.jpg" alt="Rihanna Topless Video We Found Love Farmer To Topless Rihanna: You Need Jesus" width="502" height="312" /></a><br />
</em></p>
	<p>The farmer went on to say, that perhaps <strong>Rihanna</strong> could use a little <strong>Jesus</strong> in her life&#8230;I don&#8217;t care what kind of rock star you are, when an old person chastise you for being too fast it stings a little&#8230;Check out his exact words when you continue&#8230;<span id="more-24231"></span></p>
	<blockquote><p><em>I didn’t know who was coming. If the name ‘Rihanna’ had been  mentioned, well, no disrespect but it wouldn’t have meant anything.</em></p>
	<p><em>From my point of view, it was my land, I have an ethos and I felt it was inappropriate</em><em>. I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends. Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God. </em>{<a href="http://www.helltodanaw.com/nsfw-rihanna-goes-topless-in-ireland-for-vid-farmer-demands-her-to-cover-it-up/">Farmer Responds to Topless Rihanna</a>}</p></blockquote>
	<p>I don&#8217;t know, <strong>Rihanna</strong> is still young. I was about 22 when I decided to stop partying and get back to my Christian roots. I think it happens a lot later when you&#8217;re rock star. Madonna was like 40.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Leona Lewis</strong> says you will not be catching her grinding or gyrating in concerts. The pop singer from the UK, thinks too many female pop stars in the business take it too far with the sex image. To each his own, but I agree with Leona Lewis, if your concert is 90% sex, then that means I am getting very little talent. Lewis tells Stylist magazine:</p>
	<blockquote><p>Personally, I think some people go too far. I don&#8217;t  really like to see people dancing around a pole or gyrating on a guy  every time I go to a concert</p></blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Jenesse_Silver_Rose_Gala_Auction_Leona_Lewis.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11448" title="Jenesse_Silver_Rose_Gala_Auction_Leona_Lewis" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Jenesse_Silver_Rose_Gala_Auction_Leona_Lewis.jpg" alt="Jenesse Silver Rose Gala Auction Leona Lewis Leona Lewis Insulted By Singers Gyrating On Poles In Concerts" width="420" height="600" /></a></p>
	<p style="text-align: left;">Leona unlike many other pop stars, actually wants to be a role model to young girls. She believes in being sexy, but thinks there is a better way to do it:</p>
	<p><span id="more-23834"></span></p>
	<blockquote><p>I just don&#8217;t think there is any need for it. I&#8217;d rather be something positive, especially to young girls. It&#8217;s not something I want to represent and I find it a bit insulting as a woman. There&#8217;s a way to be sexy that&#8217;s not too in your face.</p></blockquote>
	<p>I like pure raw talent anyway, so you can give me a concert with a real singer like <strong>Jill Scott </strong>sitting on a stool, and I would be fine. If you&#8217;re going to gyrate on a pole or give lap dances in a concert, please go all out. I want to see you hanging from the ceiling and doing some real choreography.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Back when <em><strong>H.A.M. </strong></em>was first released, <strong>Jay-Z</strong> fired a few shots at <strong>Lil Wayne</strong> and <strong>Birdman, </strong>calling them out on their money.</p>
	<blockquote><p>I’m like really half a billi ninja, Really you got <strong>baby money</strong> / Keep it real with ninjas, ninjas aint got my <strong>lady money</strong>.</p></blockquote>
	<p><strong>Lil Wayne</strong> initially took the high road, but promised to address the issue in a song. Well the song, <em><strong>It&#8217;s Good</strong></em> from the <strong><em>Carter IV</em></strong>, has finally addressed the issue&#8230;<strong>Weezy</strong> did not take the high road this time, and all I can say is: <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>Poor <strong>Beyonce</strong> caught in the middle of boys&#8217; game! </em></span></p>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Beyonce-and-Jay-On-Yacht-and-At-Club-556.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15867" title="Beyonce and Jay On Yacht and At Club 556" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Beyonce-and-Jay-On-Yacht-and-At-Club-556.jpg" alt="Beyonce and Jay On Yacht and At Club 556 Lil Wayne Wants To Kidnap Beyonce For Jay Z Ransom Money" width="446" height="664" /></a></p>
	<p style="text-align: left;">Find out how <strong>Lil Wayne</strong> responded. <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>Hint: </em></span>It involves kidnapping and a play on &#8220;baby money&#8221;&#8230;</p>
	<p><span id="more-23577"></span></p>
	<blockquote><p>Talkin&#8217; &#8217;bout <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>baby money</strong></span>, I got your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>baby money</strong></span> / Kidnap your bish, Get that &#8216;how much you love your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>lady?&#8217; money</strong></span>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
	<p><span style="color: #c178c2;"><em><strong>Wow Weezy!</strong></em></span> He just called <strong>Beyonce</strong> a <strong>Bee</strong>, threatens to kidnap her for <strong>Jay-Z&#8217;s </strong>money, and uses <strong>Jay-Z</strong>&#8216;s own word play against him. <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em><strong>Wow!</strong></em></span></p>
	<p>Something tells me, this will get less subtle, very soon&#8230;Awaiting <em><strong>Jay-Z&#8217;s</strong></em> response, on wax of course. {via <a href="http://www.complex.com/music/2011/08/lil-wayne-responds-to-jay-zs-baby-money-line-on-tha-carter-iv">Complex read more</a>}<strong>Similar Posts:</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Amber Rose</strong> is ready to be a mother, the young talented <strong><em>&#8220;model&#8221;</em></strong> (<em>not really sure of her title anymore</em>), says she will be 28 in October and her baby instincts have kicked in. Don&#8217;t worry she wants to wait until after she and <strong>Wiz Khalifa</strong> are married before popping out the kids.</p>
	<blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: left;">We’re definitely going to get married and have babies. Not  right now because we’re still busy and we still want to enjoy each other  first. We want to go on vacation, travel and just enjoy each other’s  company, but he’s definitely the one. We’re definitely going to lay it  down and get it done.</p>
	<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I want to be a mom really bad. I really want babies. I’ll be 28 in October and my maternal instinct is ready.</span></p>
	</blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2011-BET-Awards-Amber-Rose-Wiz-Khalifa-Licking.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22555" title="2011 BET Awards - Arrivals" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2011-BET-Awards-Amber-Rose-Wiz-Khalifa-Licking.jpg" alt="2011 BET Awards Amber Rose Wiz Khalifa Licking Amber Rose Wants To Be A Mom & Wife Soon!!! Wants Wiz Khalifa Babies" width="501" height="393" /></a></p>
	<p style="text-align: left;">Did she really just say lay it down and get it done? <em>LOL</em>..Oh! but there&#8217;s more. <strong>Amber Rose</strong> doesn&#8217;t want her future babies to grow up in the spotlight, either, and she plans on being a stay at home mom who cooks&#8230;</p>
	<p><span id="more-23474"></span></p>
	<blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I do not like attention at all. I don’t like to be out  there. It seems like that because the paparazzi follows me and I’ll get  photographed, but I’m always kind of like really low key and they just  catch me. I always try to go another way so I’m not bothered or out  there. I’m really shy; I like to stay away from all that like celebrity  stuff. I don’t go to clubs, I don’t go to Hollywood parties, I don’t  drink like that. I’m a homebody, and I love to cook. {<a href="http://globalgrind.com/entertainment/amber-rose-wiz-khalifa-baby-marriage-photos-exclusive">Amber Rose Talks Marriage &amp; Wiz Khalifa Babies</a>}<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>We have been following <a href="http://www.jkristopher.com/"><strong>J Kristopher</strong></a> as he tries to follow his dream of becoming an actor in <em>Hollywood</em>. Since our initial interview, <strong>J Kristopher</strong> has added several films and commercials under his belt, and won a battle with <em><strong>Screen Actor&#8217;s Guild</strong></em> (<em>SAG</em>) to keep his stage name because it was phonetically similar to another actor. Well <strong>J Kristopher</strong> recently sat down with <em><strong>On The Rise Magazine</strong></em> in <em>Houston</em> where he offered some great advice to those of you trying to break into the entertainment business. <em>Enjoy!</em></p>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/J-Kristopher-Mekhi-Phifer-BBM-Lounge.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16531" title="J-Kristopher-&amp;-Mekhi-Phifer-BBM-Lounge" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/J-Kristopher-Mekhi-Phifer-BBM-Lounge.jpg" alt="J Kristopher Mekhi Phifer BBM Lounge Rising Star: Actor J Kristopher Talks Acting Advice" width="500" height="376" /></a></p>
	<p><strong>OTR: What makes you stand out from all the other actors?<br />
</strong></p>
	<blockquote><p><strong>J. Kristopher: </strong>Ouch.   Because I have a lot of peers  in this business, I hope they don’t take  this the wrong way.  I’m just  willing to do what it takes.  I can’t  tell you how many times I’ve heard  excuses<span id="more-23455"></span> from people.  “I don’t do  theater because it doesn’t translate  to film.”  “I don’t do unpaid  work.”  “It’s an audition but it’s  raining.”  “I don’t feel like  driving.”  For me, actors act.  When I  came to LA, the only question I  had was, “where’s the camera?”  Now I  have the resume to show for it.</p></blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/J-Kristopher-Christina-Milian-BBM-Lounge-Red-Carpet.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16530" title="J-Kristopher-&amp;-Christina-Milian-BBM-Lounge-Red-Carpet" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/J-Kristopher-Christina-Milian-BBM-Lounge-Red-Carpet.jpg" alt="J Kristopher Christina Milian BBM Lounge Red Carpet Rising Star: Actor J Kristopher Talks Acting Advice" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
	<p><strong>OTR: What are some things that people do not know about you?<br />
</strong></p>
	<blockquote><p><strong>J. Kristopher: </strong>I’m a beast.  I’m very thankful for  where I am and what I’m doing.  At the same time, I’ve come from an  athletic background.  When the buzzer sounds, game on.  I’m going to  bring it, each and every time.  I’m the scrappy guy.  Might not be the  guy who scores 50 a game but I’m going to try to out hustle you, dive  for every loose ball, go for every rebound and take as many elbows as I  can until it’s over.</p></blockquote>
	<p><strong>OTR: What is your advice for budding actors? </strong></p>
	<blockquote><p><strong>J. Kristopher: </strong>Have Faith.  Go the extra mile.  If  you choose to make this a career, it is a sacrifice.   It takes up a lot  of time.  I don’t even have time for dating and I love women! (ha ha)   Believe in yourself.  You’re going to be faced with many challenges.   Finances: every thing costs money.  Headshots, auditions (gas), meters,  classes, workshops, PR, clothes (for appearances), agent fees, manager  fees etc.</p>
	<p>People:  There are going to be some who belittle you. They will try  to throw their own insecurities on you.  “I just don’t want to see you  hurt.” “There’s just not enough roles out there for US.”  All of a  sudden, you find yourself complaining.  You’re not dealing with HR  either.  You’ll have people tell you, “You’re too big.”  “You’re too  small.”  Or my personal favorite,  “Can you show me how they act in the  ghetto because I have no idea.  If you want to make anything up, go for  it!”  There will be people who will stick around and bleed you for  information.  Once they know all there is to know about you and your  contacts they split.</p>
	<p>Then you’ve got life.  “Wow, I’m getting up in age, do I want a  family?”  “My car just broke down.”  “My grandmother passed.”  My first  year here, I was dead broke, my stepfather, my aunt, my grandmother and  my uncle all died in the same year. I got into a four car accidents on  the freeway. So many things BUT, take heart.  For God is with you  always.  Concentrate on what He says about you.  Not the casting  directors, not your family, don’t even trust yourself (you’re going to  have rainy days).</p>
	<p>Focus on Him and He will lead you where you need to be.</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Tamera Mowry</strong> admits that she and sister, <strong>Tia Mowry</strong>, have twin telepathy. During a recent interview <strong>Tamera</strong> reveals some interesting things about how close the two sisters really are, which palys out on their new reality show <em><strong>Tia &amp; Tamera</strong></em>:</p>
	<blockquote><p>Tia and I have twin telepathy,&#8221; says Tamera. &#8220;I know exactly what she&#8217;s  thinking, I can feel her and I can sense her. All I have to do is look  in her eyes and I can tell what she&#8217;s thinking and visa versa.</p></blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Tia-Tamera-Mowry-Promo-Pics.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23320" title="Tia &amp; Tamera" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Tia-Tamera-Mowry-Promo-Pics.jpg" alt="Tia Tamera Mowry Promo Pics Tamera Mowry Shared Tia Food Cravings & Felt The Contractions Too" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
	<p>It doesn&#8217;t just stop there, during <strong>Tia&#8217;s</strong> pregnancy, <strong>Tamera</strong> admits that she could also feel the pain from <strong>Tia&#8217;s</strong> contractions:<span id="more-23319"></span></p>
	<blockquote><p>I actually felt one of her contractions! I knew she was having some type  of pain&#8211;I felt it. Not only that, but I was craving the things she was  craving, like nachos! I don&#8217;t even eat nachos.</p></blockquote>
	<p><em>That&#8217;s weird!</em> Anyway <em><strong>Tia &amp; Tamera</strong></em> aired last night on the <em><strong>Style</strong></em> network. I MISSED it because I was traveling back home, but I will certainly enjoy it on Wednesday night when it re-airs at 9PM <em>c</em>.</p>
	<p>BTW, here is a sneak peek of the first episode:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Fantasia</strong> finally reveals what we&#8217;ve already known for months now, that she is indeed pregnant by lover <strong>Antwaun</strong>, and not gaining weight to play <strong>Mahalia Jackson</strong> in a biopic. Although she went to great lengths to hide it for a long time, she is ready to reveal the truth to her fans. <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>Congrats! Shoot, I love the babies&#8230;</em></span></p>
	<blockquote><p><em>You are the first person that I share this news with, and I share this with you because I can relate to you. And for awhile I walked around, figuring out what will they say, like what will they think about me.  But now I tell you I don&#8217;t live my life for folk.</em></p>
	<p><em> </em><em>So, this child that I carry, God has given me this child. And I don&#8217;t have to hide it from none of y&#8217;all. <span style="color: #c178c2;">O_0</span></em><em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Here we go again! <strong>Rapper Xzibit</strong> says planking is racist. The host of <em><strong>Pimp My Ride</strong></em>, has a problem with planking. Let me get this straight, a man who uses every derogatory word ever written in his rap lyrics including the <em>n-word</em>, wants to speak out against planking and black history. <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>*sighs*</em></span></p>
	<blockquote><p>Planking is THE dumbest sh*t ever. Planking was a way to transport  slaves on ships during the slave trade, its not funny. Educate  yourselves.</p></blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;">
	<p>All his education I guess went into his deep rap lyrics about being a pimp and a playa. <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>IDK</em></span></p>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Rapper-Xzibit-Says-Planking-Is-Racist.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22797" title="Rapper Xzibit Says Planking Is Racist" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Rapper-Xzibit-Says-Planking-Is-Racist.jpg" alt="Rapper Xzibit Says Planking Is Racist Rapper Xzibit Says Planking Is Racist 0 o" width="476" height="336" /></a></p>
	<p>First off &#8220;planking&#8221; wasn&#8217;t a way to transport slaves. &#8220;Packing&#8221; was the way in which slaves were transported via ships. I hate when silly people say educate yourselves, because then it makes me wonder where exactly were they educated.<span id="more-22791"></span> <em> </em></p>
	<p><em>What books have <strong>Xzibit</strong> read on the subject?</em> <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>None! </em></span>He&#8217;s read the same one post that has been spread across the internet that doesn&#8217;t even have a picture or illustration of slaves lying face down in a planking position. But no one has noticed that fact. Slaves were loaded onto the boat however they fit. There were two ways, <em><strong>loose packing</strong></em> and <strong>tight packing</strong>, not planking. The more cruel the ship owner the more ways the slaves were packed onto the ship. <em><strong>Brookes Illustration</strong></em> is the most famous example of how slaves were tightly packed onto slave ships, and in that illustration, the slaves are chained face up alternating head to foot. Someone found one line out of a history book that said some slaves were even packed face down using a <em><strong>plank collar</strong></em>, and started the rumor that planking came from slavery. Then all the sheep followed without bothering to pick up a book or to ask for the original source. Not to mention the person who invented the <em><strong>Lying Down Game</strong></em>, now known as &#8220;planking&#8221;, would have had to read a book on the <em><strong>North Atlantic Slave Trade</strong></em> in order to know that some slaves were placed in prone position face down with plank collars because all of the illustrations and diagrams on the internet show slaves face up or sitting down.</p>
	<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>If you don&#8217;t like planking because you think it&#8217;s stupid, that&#8217;s fine.</strong></em></span> It can be stupid, but that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so funny. But don&#8217;t call it racist, when you don&#8217;t even know how or where it started, or what the word plank actually means. The planks slaves were held in does not refer to the position of the slaves, but to plank of wood used. Plank means wood, and not slave or slavery&#8230;</p>
	<p>If you don&#8217;t believe me, just go to Google Images and type in the word &#8220;planking&#8221;, and see what pops up&#8230;Planks of wood used to build ships and decks and other wooden structure. But, don&#8217;t get all your information from the internet, go to the book store or library and just read, or take a critical reading class. Certainly don&#8217;t believe anything that comes out of the mouth of someone who thinks he&#8217;s a pimp.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>During a recent interview with <a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/love-sex/relationships/rihanna_tells_cosmo_men_have"><em><strong>Cosmopolitan UK</strong></em></a>, <strong>Rihanna</strong> talks about her relationships, finding a new man, and why she feels a guy has to earn the goodies first. The most interesting part of the interview is when she reveals that she has a hard time being vulnerable, and must carry a tough image to protect herself:</p>
	<p><strong>On relationship with </strong><strong>Chris Brown being played out in the media:</strong></p>
	<blockquote><p>It was a very aggressive and defensive time, and that allowed me to  start not giving a sh*t. I walked around with a very f**k-you attitude. &#8220;I&#8217;ve always been good at masking my emotions. For me, it&#8217;s tougher to be vulnerable than to be tough.</p></blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Rihanna-Loud-Concert-Costume.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22784" title="Rihanna Loud Concert Costume" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Rihanna-Loud-Concert-Costume.jpg" alt="Rihanna Loud Concert Costume Rihanna Talks About Earning Her Love & Finding A New Man" width="450" height="688" /></a></p>
	<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>On a man earning her goodies and playing the game:</strong></p>
	<p><span id="more-22783"></span></p>
	<blockquote><p>But guys should have to earn it. Because the minute they get it, they  want something else. Men are like hunters: they like the  chase. So you have to keep &#8216;em guessing.  Actually, I&#8217;m like that too. I  get bored quickly. So if someone can make me laugh, that&#8217;s the best.</p></blockquote>
	<p><strong>On what turns her on in a guy:</strong></p>
	<blockquote><p>I’m turned on to a guy by different things. It could be the way he  looks. It could be his intelligence. It’s really a spontaneous thing.</p></blockquote>
	<p>I see, she likes <strong>Drake</strong> intelligence *wink wink* LOL<strong>Similar Posts:</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Shaunie O&#8217;Neal</strong> wrote a special commentary for <strong><em>CNN</em></strong> discussing the negative roles of black women on reality TV. In the commentary, I kid you not, <strong>Shaunie O&#8217;Neal</strong> the executive producer of <em><strong>Basketball Wives</strong></em> said she was concerned about the negative portrayal of black women on reality TV. <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>This should be interesting&#8230;</em></span></p>
	<blockquote><p>What isn&#8217;t so fun to watch, however, is this new generation of reality  TV. It seems to be more about the drama and less about the storyline.</p>
	<p>As you see on the show, I&#8217;m not a big supporter of the bickering, drink  throwing and fighting, but when you put a group of strong, independent  and vocal women who are going through or just came out of a bad  relationship together, there&#8217;s bound to be a little drama.</p></blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Vh1-Basketball-Wives.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20212" title="Vh1 Basketball Wives" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Vh1-Basketball-Wives.jpg" alt="Vh1 Basketball Wives Shaunie ONeal Concerned About The Negative Portrayal Of Black Women On TV " width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
	<p style="text-align: left;">But wait there&#8217;s more. Read <strong>Shaunie O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s</strong> entire article on black women and reality TV shows.</p>
	<p><span id="more-22666"></span></p>
	<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ll be honest, I love reality TV.Actually it&#8217;s one of my  guilty pleasure past times. Even before &#8220;Basketball Wives&#8221; I had my  favorites, and I watched them faithfully. There is something appealing  about seeing people deal with real life drama as you&#8217;re watching. Now,  as executive producer of &#8220;Basketball Wives,&#8221; I know that&#8217;s not exactly  how it happens, but it&#8217;s still fun to watch.</p>
	<p>What isn&#8217;t so fun to  watch, however, is this new generation of reality TV. It seems to be  more about the drama and less about the storyline. That concerns me,  especially now that I&#8217;m producing a reality show.</p>
	<p>I have gotten  both good and bad responses from viewers about &#8220;Basketball Wives,&#8221; and I  certainly understand the opinion that the shows portrayal of black  women is beginning to look somewhat negative.</p>
	<p>As you see on the  show, I&#8217;m not a big supporter of the bickering, drink throwing and  fighting, but when you put a group of strong, independent and vocal  women who are going through or just came out of a bad relationship  together, there&#8217;s bound to be a little drama.</p>
	<p>Let&#8217;s face it, we  all know women like the ones on &#8220;Basketball Wives&#8221; and countless other  reality shows: Women who are vocal if you cross them.</p>
	<p>The  problem for me is when black women are portrayed as only being that way  and labeled different than their non-black counterparts for the same  type of behavior. That&#8217;s when it becomes negative and damaging to our  image.</p>
	<p>I&#8217;m not saying we have to create shows that only paint a  pretty picture about who we are, but there should be a balance and most  of all some integrity to the shows we create.</p>
	<p>That&#8217;s why I wanted to do &#8220;Basketball Wives.&#8221; I wanted to  show what life is really like when you are with a professional athlete  &#8212; and that sometimes all that glitters isn&#8217;t gold.</p>
	<p>When I  signed on to executive produce the show I had big plans and a long list  of ideas. But boy did all that change as we started filming and I  learned what all goes into executive producing a show. It&#8217;s a lot of  work, and there are a lot of politics involved, but at the end of the  day I do believe that the overall message is being told.</p>
	<p>Look at  Tami Roman (ex-wife of former NBA player Kenny Anderson and a member of  the &#8220;Basketball Wives&#8221; cast). She was such an appealing addition to the  cast because of her rags to riches to rags story of being married to a  pro basketball player and after their divorce almost being homeless.</p>
	<p>That&#8217;s  the heart of &#8220;Basketball Wives,&#8221; and I believe that if you look closely  and beyond the arguing and the fighting, you&#8217;ll see a group of women  trying to get their lives back on track and figure out who they really  are.</p>
	<p>My role as executive producer of the show does not negate my  concern for how black women are portrayed on reality TV, but I do  believe that there are some shows attempting to strike a balance and  have a positive message despite the drama. I&#8217;m personally working with  Shed Media and VH1 to make sure that &#8220;Basketball Wives&#8221; stands among  them. {Read <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/01/black.women.reality.tv/index.html?hpt=en_c2">Shaunie O&#8217;Neal CNN Commentary On Negative Roles For Black Women</a>}</p></blockquote>
	<p>Next to <em><strong>Mob Wives</strong></em>; I think <em><strong>Basketball Wives</strong></em> is one of the most negative portrayal of women, but can I really complain about <strong>Shaunie O&#8217;Neal</strong> when I watch <strong><em>Basketball Wives</em></strong> every week.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Back in March, I did an interview with R&amp;B newcomer, <strong>K Michelle</strong>. During the interview <strong>K Michelle</strong> revealed that her goal in life is to be known as the <em><strong>King of R&amp;B</strong></em>, and not the Queen of anything because it limits women&#8217;s options. Ironically, people are now referring to <strong>Beyonce</strong> as <em><strong>King B</strong></em>, and I just find that interesting. The first time I&#8217;ve ever heard a female wanting to be referenced as <strong><em>King</em> </strong>was a few months ago<strong>, </strong>and now that term is being used to describe<strong> Beyonce.</strong></p>
	<blockquote><p>Q: <strong>You are more than just a singer?</strong></p>
	<p><strong>K Michelle:</strong> Yes, and you are going to laugh but, I want to be the <em><strong>King of R&amp;B</strong></em>, not the <em><strong>Queen</strong></em>. I want to be King because <em><strong>they put us women in boxes where we can’t do or say certain things;</strong></em> the creativity I have from writing, playing, and producing. I don’t want to be compared, I just want to do me.</p></blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Beyonce-King-B-Stolen-From-K-Michelle.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22344" title="Beyonce King B Stolen From K Michelle" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Beyonce-King-B-Stolen-From-K-Michelle.jpg" alt="Beyonce King B Stolen From K Michelle Beyonce Now King B; But K Michelle Said It First" width="500" height="350" /></a></p>
	<p>I&#8217;m not saying <strong>Beyonce</strong> stole the idea from <strong>K Michelle</strong>, but since this new album has started its promo tour, it&#8217;s seems <strong>Beyonce</strong> has borrowed a lot from other people on the internet. All I know is&#8230;<span id="more-22343"></span></p>
	<p>That the first person, or the first woman, calling herself <strong>King</strong> was <strong>K Michelle</strong> just months ago, and now <strong>Beyonce</strong> is the self-proclaimed <em><strong>King B</strong></em>.</p>
	<p>Before the <strong>Beyonce</strong> stans go crazy, I believe the title fits <strong>Beyonce </strong>well, and she just may be the <strong><em>King of R&amp;B</em>.</strong> I just thought it was strange that <strong>K Michelle</strong> said it also back in March.</p>

	<p style="text-align: left;">You can watch the video above, or just continue on below to read what <strong>Jada Pinkett Smith</strong> had to say about <strong>Miley Cyrus</strong> compared to <strong>Jada Pinkett</strong> at age <em>18</em>&#8230;</p>
	<p><span id="more-22288"></span></p>
	<blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: left;">Think about it. We go through those rough transitions, whether we&#8217;re in front of the camera or not. You know! Going from being a young girl into becoming a woman and figuring out who we are, and blossoming our sexuality, and sensuality, and trying to understand. The thing about it, is that you have to live a little bit of who you&#8217;re not to know who you are.</p>
	<p>I think the only unfortunate part is that these young people have to do it under a microscope. It&#8217;s no different than what you and I went through. I mean shoot, at 18, somebody had a microscope on me&#8230;Miley don&#8217;t have nothing on <strong>Jada Pinkett Smith </strong>[at age 18]. I can tell you that right now!!! {<a href="http://iluluonline.com/jada-pinkett-smith-talks-parenting-child-stars-on-the-joy-behar-show/#more-31628">Source</a>}</p>
	</blockquote>
	<p style="text-align: left;">That is so true! I certainly wouldn&#8217;t want to live my life at 18 under a microscope or the public&#8217;s eye. Perhaps, we judge celebrity kids because  we feel like they have so much to lose, but they&#8217;re pretty much the same; just trying to figure out who they are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Tracy Morgan</strong> who is well known for his <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>high moral standard</strong></em></span> decides to attack people that are gay in his new stand up routine, and is unapologetic about how he feels about people being gay, according to <strong>Kevin Rogers</strong> who attended <strong>Morgan&#8217;s</strong> stand-up routine in <em>Nashville</em>.  He even goes as far as to say, he would kill his son with a knife if he ever acts gay or comes home to say that he is gay. I wish that was all, but <strong>Comedian Morgan</strong>, also says that gay kids need to stop whining about something as insignificant as bullying. Last but not least, he exclaims being gay is a choice because God doesn&#8217;t make any mistakes. <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>*WOW*</em></span></p>
	<blockquote><p>The sad thing is that none of this rant was a joke.  His entire demeanor  changed during that portion of the night.  He was truly filled with  some hate towards us.  As far as I could see 10 to 15 people walked out.   I had to fight myself to stay seated, but I knew if I got up&#8230; he  won.</p></blockquote>
	<p><span style="color: #c178c2;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Death_at_a_funeral_tracy_morgan.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11249" title="Tracy Morgan" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Death_at_a_funeral_tracy_morgan.jpg" alt="Death at a funeral tracy morgan Tracy Morgan Goes In On Gays During Stand Up Routine" width="450" height="730" /></a></p>
	<p>Check out a few excerpts from his stand up routine, and let me know if you think <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Tracy Morgan is being homophobic or are gay people too sensitive???</strong></em></span><span id="more-22227"></span></p>
	<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=108369875920604">According to Kevin Rogers on &#8220;Why I No Loner Like Tracy Morgan&#8221;:</a></p>
	<blockquote><p>I figured at some point the gay jokes would fly and I&#8217;m well prepared  for a good ribbing of straight gay humor.  I have very thick skin when  it comes to humor; I can dish and I can take.  What I can&#8217;t take is when  Mr. Morgan took it upon himself to mention about how he feels all this  gay s*it was crazy and that women are a gift from God and that &#8220;Born  this Way&#8221; is bulls*it, gay is a choice, and the reason he knows this is  exactly because &#8220;God don&#8217;t make no mistakes&#8221; (referring to God not  making someone gay cause that would be a mistake).</p>
	<p>He said if his son that was gay he better come home and talk to him like  a man and not [he mimicked a gay, high pitched voice] or he would pull  out a knife and stab that little N (one word I refuse to use) to death.</p>
	<p>He took time to visit the bulls*it of this bullying stuff and informed  us that the gays needed to quit being pussies and not be whining about  something as insignificant as bullying. He mentioned that gay was  something kids learn from the media and programming, and that bullied  kids should just bust some ass and beat those other little f*ckers that  bully them, not whine about it.</p>
	<p>Tracy then said he didn&#8217;t f*cking care if he pissed off some gays,  because if they can take a f*cking dick up their ass&#8230; they can take a  f*cking joke.</p>
	<p>I find it hard to believe that someone who just received a kidney transplant for whatever reasons <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">drinking</span>, would have the nerve to condemn another group of people. <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>No wait!!!</em></span> I find it hard that a comedian who uses the f-word, n-word, and other obscenities, would have the audacity to bring up the morality of God in a comedic routine. <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>No wait!!!</em></span> I have a hard time listening to a man who took his girlfriend&#8217;s kidney then hit the red carpet with another chick on his arm.</p></blockquote>
	<p>I haven&#8217;t seen the actual comedy routine, so perhaps I should slow down, take a breath, watch it first then form my opinion. But if what this guy <strong>Kevin</strong> says is true, I don&#8217;t understand why Christians are so quick to condemn one group and look over the many sins of another group.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong><br />

That was my first job, my first offical job.When you in the hood you get money hook or crook. You just gotta do what you gtta do. So I couldn&#8217;t work officially to get a job until I was 16, the legal age to work, so I worked at McDonald&#8217;s, and I love it.</p>
	<p style="text-align: left;">I started off on the grill, and then I went from the grill to the french fries, and then I went from the french fries to the drive through, and from drive through to the front register.</p>
	<p>I was very happy, and then&#8230;On the first and the fifteenth is county day in the hood, and so there was a robbery on the first. When someone jumped over the counter in Mcdonald&#8217;s, shook me up. I ran across the street with my McDonald&#8217;s uniform on. Because even back then I was a thinking man and I said to myself, <em>&#8216;Well after they finish robbing us for the burgers and the money, whatever they&#8217;re after, if they end up getting caught they gone take off on feet, and the probably want to hold one of these McDonald&#8217;s workers as hostage.&#8217;</em> So I was across the street shirtless. {laughts}</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Charlie Sheen</strong> is just on top of the world right now. He&#8217;s probably the only celebrity that has physically abused seven out of the last eight women he&#8217;s dated, including shooting <strong>Kelly Preston </strong>and knocking out a college student by hitting her in the back of the head. But, that&#8217;s besides the point because now he thinks he&#8217;s a politician. Let&#8217;s see the right has more faith in <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, <strong>Sarah Palin</strong>, and <strong>Charlie Sheen</strong> than they do in <strong>President Obama</strong>, and they really won&#8217;t us to let them lead this country <span style="color: #c178c2;"><em>*chuckles*</em></span>. Anyway check out what Charlie boy had the balls to say about <strong>President Obama</strong>.</p>

It&#8217;s certainly not <strong>Tyler Perry&#8217;s</strong> fault that he&#8217;s able to connect to people while other artist&#8217;s films are too deep to draw a crowd. I like Oscar worthy movies, and I&#8217;m an Indie buff, but sometimes you just want a good laugh and sometimes you just want something simple that reminds you of the people you know. Anyway here&#8217;s what <strong>Tyler Perry</strong> had to say about it:</p>
	<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Tyler-Perry-Rise-Above-It-NAACP-Image-Awards-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20593" title="Tyler Perry Rise Above It NAACP Image Awards 2" src="http://mrsgrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Tyler-Perry-Rise-Above-It-NAACP-Image-Awards-2.jpg" alt="Tyler Perry Rise Above It NAACP Image Awards 2 Message From Tyler Perry: Madea Under Attack!   No Joke" width="500" height="328" /></a></p>
	<blockquote><p>You know I don’t dwell in negativity.  I try and stay above it, but I wanted to say this to you.  You and I both know that there are folks out there that work overtime trying to keep people from seeing my movies. Even though I don’t say anything, it doesn’t mean that I’m not aware of it.<span id="more-21218"></span></p>
	<p>They say all kinds of things about the films, Madea and me. They call me everything, but a child of God. I even had someone tell me in a press conference that I don’t have a “white” following.  We all know that is not true.  Had they been on tour with me they would know White folks, Blackfolks, Asian folks, Latin folks, Navajo folks, and everyone in between was there laughing side-by-side having a good time.</p>
	<p>It’s crazy the things people print without any facts.  What is also interesting is how hard they work to try and discourage you from going to see my films, as if you don’t know what you enjoy. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about!</p>
	<p>But it’s okay, you know why? Because I know that they don’t get it!  They don’t get the spiritual side of this, they don’t get the folks that not only laugh, but also get something out of it that they can use to make their lives better. They don’t get that this is about more than making a movie and telling a funny story.  They don’t get that it’s about uplifting and encouraging the soul. They don’t get that most of you have been with me long before they knew who I was, and they don’t get that you have my back.  And to tell you the truth, it doesn’t matter if they get it or not,<br />
as long as you do.  I thank God for you every day.  You know what you enjoy, you know what makes you laugh and gives you a bit of uplift after you’ve seen it.  So come laugh with me this weekend with Madea.</p>
	<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>MADEA’S BIG HAPPY FAMILY opens in theaters this Friday.</strong></span></em> You know how important the first weekend is, so I sure hope you are planning to go out and see it. I promise you, MADEA’S BIG HAPPY FAMILY is funnier than them all. You will laugh ‘till you hurt, so take some aspirin to the movies with you.</p>
	<p>THIS LINE IS FROM MADEA (say it in your best Madea voice),  “All y’all that squirt a lil pee when you laugh, be careful!” ….LOL</p>
	<p>I’ll be on the message board all weekend waiting to hear from you.</p>
	<p>ALSO, BIG NOTE HERE!!!!</p></blockquote>
	<blockquote><p>WEDNESDAY, April 20th, from 1:30 until 2:00pm Eastern, I will be taking your questions live at this link <a href="http://tylerperry.com/live">http://tylerperry.com/live</a> .

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>During a recent interview with <strong><a href="http://live.drjays.com/index.php/2011/04/18/bobby-brown-defends-bobbi-kristina-and-thinks-everyone-should-leave-chris-brown-alone/">Street Disciplez Radio</a>, Bobby Brown </strong>talks openly about his relationship with his daughter <strong>Bobbi Kristina</strong>, and all the drama that hit the internet regarding her drug use. Not only does he talk about <strong>Bobbi Kristina</strong>, but he opens up about finding love again with <em><strong>Alicia Etheridge</strong></em> and setting a wedding date. Last, but not least he defends <strong>Chris Brown</strong> against the media, and has some encouraging words for the young artist.</p>
	<p>On <strong>Bobbi Kristina&#8217;s</strong> drug rumors:</p>
	<blockquote><p><em>That’s just some bull**, let me just let ya’ll know. That’s some  bull**, and my daughter’s great. She’s doing just fine; she’s in the  studio recording her album, and she’s getting ready to blow ya’ll’s  mind. Trust me.</em></p></blockquote>

	<p><strong>On Bobbi Kristina&#8217;s singing:</strong></p>
	<blockquote><p><em>“Like I told a lot of people, she’s got her mother’s voice—even  better than her mother’s—and she’s got my legs, so you think about that  and you put that together.”</em></p></blockquote>
	<p><strong>On meeting Alicia Etheridge and falling in love:</strong></p>
	<blockquote><p><em>We met&#8230;Twenty something years ago, it was about dance crews. She was in a dance crew out here in Los Angeles, and New Edition was out here and we would rehearse in the same places. So we hung out together. No physical-ness happened. And when I met her again after I was in the mist of a divorce, she was actually at my wedding because she was a friend of mine. So in the mist of the divorce we just hung out and&#8230;it happened. I don&#8217;t know how else to put it, but ish just happened.</em></p>
	<p><em>We just started communicating in other ways. </em></p></blockquote>
	<p><strong>On his relationship with Whitney, and sobriety:</strong></p>
	<blockquote><p><em>No matter what you think about what you have, if what you have is not right for you, it&#8217;s not right for you.</em></p>
	<p><em>Six years man, I&#8217;m good with mine.</em></p></blockquote>
	<p><strong>On the Chris Brown comparisons in the media:</strong></p>
	<blockquote><p><em>I never put my hands on Whitney or disrespected her in any manner. </em></p>
	<p><em>Chris Brown just give that brother a break, because we don&#8217;t know what happened between them in that relationship. We don&#8217;t know what went on between them, too. I think Chris Brown is a talented artist. I think Chris Brown deserves a second chance, no matter what. Because he&#8217;s young and he&#8217;s talented. Rihanna is doing her thing, Rihanna moved on and people need to move on with what happened between their relationship. And, I think Chris Brown deserves a second chance.</em></p>
	<p><em>Compared to things I&#8217;ve been convicted of, Chris Brown is a baby. Chris Brown is a good brother and I wish him the best. We need an artist like him. Kids need an artist like him.</em></p></blockquote>
