Chris Wishes Rihanna Would Shut Up
Friday, November 6th, 2009
Chris Brown has spent the last eight months trying to sweep his vicious beating of ex-GF Rihanna under the rug, so it’s no surprise he’s not happy that she’s all over the press and TV this week, telling her story. Tonight, Brown goes on MTV to tell his side, which will probably involve how he’s good to his momma and goes to church on Sunday.
Late Friday afternoon, following two appearances by Rihanna on “Good Morning America,” Brown released his own statement to MTV, as reported by People. “I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best.” Uh, no, Chris—it doesn’t work that way. When you beat someone so badly that they have to go to the hospital, that’s not “private” anymore.
Brown’s statement continued, I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.”
Yeah, let’s drag Him into this. Too little, too late, Chris. Hope you enjoyed your career while you had it, because it’s gonna all be over after Rihanna reveals the dirty details of what you did to her on “20/20” tonight.

Sandra And Jesse Fight For Custody
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
In a scenario that could have come straight from one of her films, actress Sandra Bullock is involved in a child custody dispute—with her husband’s porn-star ex-wife. E! reports that for most of the last year, Sandra has been taking care of five-year-old Sunny James, the daughter of her husband Jesse James. Sunny’s mom, adult film star Janine Lindemulter, has spent the last six months in jail for tax evasion, while James had sole custody. Now she’s out of the big house and wants her kid back.
The porn star went on “Good Morning America” and said of Bullock, “What would give her the right to take away my daughter? This is my daughter. I’m the best mother I can be.” That’s not good enough for the current Mrs. James, who sent a letter to the judge in Lindemulter’s case, stating her concerns. “I myself have stopped working like I used to in order to be here with Jesse and the kids because we are on constant ‘high alert.’ Never knowing what condition Janine will be in, and even more concerning, the condition Sunny will be in. While in Janine’s care, sometimes Sunny is left alone during the day, while her mother is asleep from drug use.”
Well, it’s easy to see why the couple is reluctant to give up Sunny to her mom. What won’t be easy is the court battle that’s sure to come.

Courtney’s Maids Clean Up
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
There are some bills you can get away with, but mess with the cleaning crew! Jam!Music reports rock trainwreck Courtney Love has been ordered to come clean with the maids who tidy up her crib.
Elite Maids filed suit against Love earlier this year, claiming she stiffed them for over $3,000. The case came up in court last week, and predictably, Love was a no-show. The judge ruled for the maid service by default, so Courtney’s expected to cough up the dough.
Good luck to Elite Maids—they’ll need it to get their money from the singer, who’s been whining lately that she’s broke.

Chris Brown Goes Back On Tour
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
In an effort to salvage what’s left of his career, disgraced crooner Chris Brown will be embarking on a “Fan Appreciation” tour. The AP reports the jaunt will begin in Houston Nove. 14 and play small venues.
Uh, isn’t he supposed to be in the middle of doing six months of all-day labor back in Virginia for the Rihanna beatdown? Is the court letting him out to do a tour? I certainly hope they don’t consider returning to the concert stage to be “community service,” even though a portion of the proceeds from the tour are supposed to go to charity.
Maybe someone in the justice system will note that only two months ago, Brown was sentenced to five years’ probation, six months of community labor and a year of domestic violence counseling. Let him finish all that, then go back on the road.

Lohan Robbery Suspect Charged
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Hollywood starlets with large collections of fashion items and jewelry should be able to sleep easier tonight, knowing a sticky-fingered thief is off the streets.
TMZ reports 18-year-old Hollywood hanger-on Nick Prugo has been charged with two felony residential burglaries in the cases of break-ins at the homes of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge. Still at large are Prugo’s partners in crime, who were seen on surveillance videos taken at both homes.
There are remaining unanswered questions involving the recent rash of Hollywood robberies. The first has to be whether Prugo or his associates were also involved in the similar heists at the homes of Paris Hilton, Hayden Panetierre, Rachel Bilson and Kourtney Kardashian. The last happened just this weekend, after Prugo was arrested, so it looks as though this rash of robberies isn’t over yet.
