Chris Brown opened up about his assault on former girlfriend Rihanna during the MTV News special “Chris Brown: The Interview” on Friday (November 6), elaborating on his destructive behavior, explaining his previous apologies and describing his ongoing therapy sessions.
According to mtvnews.com, Brown told MTV News correspondent Sway that he has finally come to terms with the fact that he was capable of such violence.
“I think you’d be in denial and be totally naive not to,” he said. “And not being able to realize and own up to the fact of your own wrongs. I mean, me, I’ve come to terms with it and I’m working on it. … For that moment or whatever had me at that place, I want to erase that from what my character is. I want to be totally different from now on. I don’t want to be that person.”
“I’m confused right now as far as the public perception [of me],” he said. “Like, I think with my fans, they still love me, they support me, definitely. You have those people who will support you. So it’s kinda like 50/50 for me. I got the people that will come out and support and then the people that don’t wanna see me do anything. They basically want me in jail.”
We just love this man so much that we needed to post his latest video. Check out Lil Jon’s newest video “Give It All U Got” from his newest album Crunk Rock.
“Though this track is clearly geared towards the clubs – like much of Jon’s repertoire – the beat veers closer to the current electro-pop trend than the Southern crunk that he brought to the mainstream (Billboard)”
Bad Girls Club contestant Natalie Nunn says Chris Brown wanted to marry her, reports TMZ.
A video reveals her talking about how much she wants the 20-year-old R&B artist. “He might beat Rihanna,” she can be heard saying, “but he doesn’t beat me.”
Timbaland has always been known for big-star collaborations, and his upcoming studio album Studio Value II is no exception. The roster features an abundance of guests, with the biggest surprise being Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.

When Ne-yo and Rihanna collaborate on tracks, the result is usually pretty spectacular.
Apparently, fans can expect nothing less with their new collaboration, “Russian Roulette.” The Barbadian beauty used the help of co-producer Chuck Harmony for the latest single on her upcoming Rated R album.
According to MTV News, Ne-yo explained that Rihanna specifically requested the song’s somber vibe. “She wanted it to be dark, but not just dark for the sake of dark [...] dark with a kind of meaning, dark with some kind of thing to it.”
The ominous Russian roulette theme is something new for the soulful singer. He called the track “my first ventures off into the fictitious.”
“I’m listening to the track, and all I can see is Rihanna and some random person sitting across from each other at the table with a gun sitting in the middle of the table and playing Russian roulette,” he explained. “And I just started thinking, ‘What would go through your mind if you was in that situation?’ It just all started coming together, and Rihanna has never been one to be afraid to take a chance, especially with me. She’s always game to do something a little different. I played it for her, and she loved it — went in and knocked it out. The rest is history.”
Kanye West teamed up with Oscar-nominated director Spike Jonze this summer to create a unique, mind-bending and often confusing short film. We Were Once a Fairytale was shown at the LA film festival in August, and was intended for A September 8th iTunes release, but it made its international debut on Monday, Oct.19.
The release comes less than a week after the premier of Spike Jonze’s fantastical big-screen rendition of Where the Wild Things Are. This may alleviate some confusion over the video’s bizarreness.
The short film parallels the tone of West’s 808s and Heartbreak album. It’s strange and even boring at first, but when you understand its direction, you understand its art. It’s dark but ultimately moving…not to mention catchy as hell.
Beyonce has postponed a concert scheduled in Malaysia next week due to criticism by some Islamic extremists who deem her clothing and choreography to be too provocative, reports Perez Hilton.

DMX turned a charity concert into a riot this weekend when he arrived late for his scheduled performance and then proceeded to fight the security guards. After showing up nearly 90 minutes late for his set, DMX got into a shoving match in front of the stage with the security guards. Fans quickly joined the hubbub, pushing and chanting “DMX! DMX!”
Once he made it on stage, the sound system was turned off to keep him from performing.
The event promoters, American Charities, told fans DMX was not coming when he hadn’t arrived by 9:30 p.m., the time he was supposed to take the stage. Instead, DMX traipsed in at 11:00 expecting to perform.
Amid fierce rumors that two of the biggest divas in the industry – Beyonce and Lady Gaga- are teaming up, the truth has finally emerged. It has been confirmed that the two singers have joined forces on a super-secret video for Beyonce’s “Video Phone.”
According to mtvnews.com, a spokesperson for director Hype Williams confirmed to MTV that both Beyonce and Gaga appear in the “Video Phone” clip, which Williams shot last weekend in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighbourhood.
William’s spokesperson would not confirm any additional tidbits about the shoot, but, according to Life and Style magazine, security on set was very tight, and the video is shaping up to be a fashion bonanza, with Beyonce wearing “a feathered dress” and Gaga sporting “something wild … the fashion is sick and insane.” READ MORE »
Carmen Reece is what you would call the epitome of the term, “triple-threat.” The 22-year-old singer/songwriter/pianist/dancer boasts an impressive musical resume, and is emerging as a serious presence with the upcoming debut of her album, “Love in Stereo.”

Along with Reece, The Brit School has consistently provided society with world-class artists such as Adele, Leona Lewis, Imogen Heap, and the paparazzi-ridden Amy Winehouse.
“From an early age I’ve always been crazy about music, and my parents always said that my ear pricked up listening to anything on the radio, and I was always singing around the house,” Reece tells andPOP. Of her admission into the Brit School, she says “it was wonderful because I got to work with a lot of students that were very talented, recording, writing, and that kind of set me up for breaking out [into the industry] and recording with professionals and writing.”
