The Latest News on Chris Brown and Rihanna
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
The drama for Rihanna and Chris Brown continues one day after their Grammy Awards cancellations. Here is where things stand at this point:
- The $50,0000 bail Chris posted might not be the only financial hit the singer takes. Although the company has not completely severed ties with the 19-year-old, Wrigley has decided to pull the Doublemint Gum commercials featuring Brown. (Too bad they missed the one that actually aired during the Grammys yesterday.) A company spokesman told Us that they are waiting to see how things play out. “We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen,” the rep explained.

Family Emergency Forces Usher Cancellation
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television,
UPDATE: Tameka reportedly went into cardiac and respiratory arrest during a liposuction procedure.
An unexpected matter forced singer Usher to cancel a performance over the weekend. But unlike in the Rihanna/Chris Brown situation, this issue was not police related.
The 30-year-old had been slated to sing at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party on Saturday evening. But after calls from both Usher and his mother, the record mogul was forced to deliver the bad news: the performance was going to be scrapped due to a “serious illness in the family.”
According to Access Hollywood, Usher’s wife, Tameka Foster, experienced complications after undergoing a plastic surgery procedure in Brazil. Although it’s not known which specific treatment the 37-year-old was supposedly seeking, Foster gave birth to their second child together back in December. Access claimed that a neurosurgeon from LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was being flown to the South American country to assist.
It has been rumored that Foster will appear on the second season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Even though he’s already opened up to Barbara Walters, Patrick Swayze still has a lot of story left to tell.
The 56-year-old and Lisa Niemi, his wife of 30 years, are currently working on a memoir that will hit the shelves this fall. According to Atria Books, the currently untitled project “will offer an intimate account of Patrick Swayze’s childhood, career and marriage, as well as his brave fight against a diagnosis of stage-four pancreatic cancer, from which he has gleaned wisdom and has remained resolutely optimistic.”
Lisa will also contribute passages about her experience “helping a loved one battle a life-threatening disease.”
Swayze says his intention is to help those who might benefit from the book. “With everything I’ve been fortunate enough to do in my life, and covering such a wide range of diverse subject matters, I’m told that my story has been inspirational to people,” the actor said in a statement. “I will write from my heart about these experiences and aside from the sheer pleasure of doing it, if people happen to garner inspiration from it, or incentive, or find a new way to love, it would be wonderful.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Break-ups,
As we approach the 81st Annual Academy Awards, it’s time to update you on one of the most talked about couples from last year’s event.
Although they weren’t as well known as say, Brangelina, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová made an impression on the few who watched that broadcast. (The costars of Once, were welcomed back onstage when they weren’t able to finish their acceptance speeches.) Unfortunately, the two are no longer smiling as brightly as they were that night.

Christian Bale is either the sincerest man around…or he’s a damn good actor. Either way, the man clearly knows how to apologize - or curse - with passion.
By now, most of you have heard the actor tear into Shane Hurlbut, Terminator Salvation‘s director of photography. (If you haven’t, you can hear the F-bomb filled clip after the jump.) The incident, which occurred last summer during filming of the sequel, was leaked to TMZ earlier this week.
After endless media coverage, and a few remixes, Bale called up a radio station earlier today to say sorry for the embarrassing incident.

Miley Cyrus Denies Offending Asians
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Oops Photos,
UPDATE: You can read Miley’s second attempt at an apology here.
I’m starting to wonder—does Miley Cyrus just have a sensitivity chip missing? (Thank you, Jennifer, for letting me borrow that line.)
Last summer, the 16-year-old denied having any beef with Selena Gomez despite a video mocking the young actress. Now the Disney star is somehow denying she offended an entire group of people.
After a picture of a slanted-eye Cyrus came out, most recognized the idiotic move Miley - and her friends - made. But instead of apologizing, as one Asian American advocacy group hoped she would, the Disney star has chosen to take the defensive approach.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Drugs,
UPDATE: Michael has been suspended for 3 months by USA Swimming. He’s also lost his Kellogg sponsorship.
Although he was previously scheduled to celebrate with the Super Bowl attendees in Tampa, Michael Phelps spent this weekend addressing a celebration from last fall. (Note to future Olympic superstars: There’s no such thing as a “private” party with college students.)
Thanks to a picture of him posted online by News of the World, Phelps was forced to apologize to his admirers and sponsors. The photo, supposedly taken in November at a Univ. of South California party, clearly shows Michael inhaling a substance from a marijuana pipe.
