In the world of celebrity news, there’s not shortage of hits and misses. This week, Rihanna dominates the Billboard music awards and Bieber gets booed.

HIT: Rihanna picks up numerous awards, puts Chris Brown in his place

Amidst the sad Twitter spiff between Rihanna and Chris Brown, she shows no sign of backing down as she swept up four awards for Top R&B Artist, Top R&B Song (“Diamonds”), Top R&B Album (Unapologetic), and Top Radio Songs Artist. If you haven’t heard, Chris Brown recently dumped Rihanna – who does he think he is – even after she TOOK HIM BACK following the domestic violence scandal. He stated: “I can’t be focused on wife-ing somebody that young” on Australia’s 2day radio show. She shot back on twitter saying: “Settling is not an option! Nothing less than 100% loyalty, honestly, and respect!! Love ain’t for kidz #butimsleeptho.” You said it, Riri. Plus he’s allegedly been hanging out with ex girlfriend Karreuche Tran again. Can somebody say downgrade??

MISS: Justin Bieber Booed at The Billboard Music Awards

 

After beating out the likes of Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift, Just Bieber went on to win the first ever Milestone Award. Unfortunately, the Biebs was shamelessly booed even before he opened his mouth to give a thank you speech. How rude! After a few awkward seconds of listening to the screaming fans’ yet somehow extremely loud boo’s, he starts his speech with “I’m 19 years old…I’m 19 years old…I think I’m doing a pretty good job.” Didn’t stop the booing though and he had to thank Jesus Christ for that to end. I really feel bad for the kid, I mean he tries so hard (granted, sometimes too hard), but I don’t think he deserves this. Watch the video here. Best part: Cee Lo Green awkwardly fanning himself in the background.

HIT: Eva Longoria Graduates

That’s right! After 3 years of studying, our 38 year-old favourite Desperate Housewives star has earned a Master’s Degree in Chicano from California State Northridge. Her thesis was entitled: “Success STEMS From Diversity: The Value of Latinas in STEM Careers” (STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math). She tweeted, “You’re never too old or too busy to continue your education!” How is she so perfect?

In the world of celebrity news, there’s no shortage of Hits and Misses. This week, Angelina Jolie undergoes preventative double mastectomy procedure and Chris Brown is scaring the neighbourhood kids with his terrible art.

HIT: Angelina Jolie undergoes double mastectomy to lower her chances of getting cancer

She’s a heroine on and off screen! After discovering she had an 87% risk of breast cancer and a 50% risk of developing ovarian cancer, Angelina Jolie underwent a double mastectomy to reduce her chances of developing either. In an Op-Ed she wrote for the New York Times she wrote, “I want to encourage every woman, especially if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, to seek out the information and medical experts who can help you through this aspect of your life, and to make your own informed choices.” Brad Pitt, of course, was beside her every step of the way saying that she is “absolutely heroic.”

MISS: Chris Brown scares the neighborhood kids with his crappy art

He can sing, he can dance, but Chris Brown CANNOT paint. The “celebrity” painted fang-bearing goblins outside of his Hollywood Hills home which are scaring the neighbourhood kids. As such, the “bad boy” has been ordered to take down the images within 30 days or else face a fine. While the $376 (USD) fine probably is chump change to him, do you think he’ll take them down out of respect? “”There are scarier creatures on Harry Potter,” he tweeted. “Get a … life!” So, no.

Oops, looks like will.i.am is finally fessing up to stealing a song from Mat Zo and Russian producer/DJ Arty. Kind of.

Will.i.am has been getting a lot of flack about a couple of songs from his latest album and it looks like he’s admitting that he did in fact plagiarized on the track, “Let’s Go (featuring Chris Brown)” from Mat Zo and Arty’s “Rebound.”

The Black Eyed Pea member told  KISS FM, “I got in touch with Arty and showed it to him, did a different version to it ’cause I asked him [to] make it newer ’cause I don’t just wanna take your song and rap over it.” Arty, on the other hand, took to Twitter to say that neither will.i.am or anyone from his team contacted him about using his music.

With all the money will.i.am is probably raking in, I’m surprised he can’t hire a legal team to make sure all the licenses have been cleared. He would’ve avoided yet another embarrassing plagiarizing scandal.

Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am is being accused of stealing an entire song from house producers Zo and Arty, according to the Huffington Post. Will.i.am’s song “Let’s Go” featuring Chris Brown happens to sound similar to the producers’ track “Rebound.”

The similarities were first brought into light by Arty who tweeted the following on Tuesday: “They never cleared rights through Anjunabeats, who’s only one label, who ownes [sic] the rights for ‘Rebound’.”

Chris Brown, who seems to have control of his Twitter account again, responded via Twitter, “I don’t even know who mat zo Or arty is? I ain’t got shit to do with if ur mad or not. Someone asked for a feature on a record and i did it.”

Will.i.am has yet to respond to the controversy.

“Let’s Go” isn’t the only song off will.i.am’s upcoming #willpower album facing controversy. He is currently being sued over “Scream & Shout” which features Britney Spears.

Unfortunately, will.i.am’s plagarism troubles don’t end there. He was also accused of stealing from musician Adam Freeland while with the Black Eyed Peas in 2009. A part of Freeland’s song “Mancry” “somehow” ended up in BEP’s “Party All The Time.” Freeland and the BEP later settled the case. Futhermore, will.i.am has also been accused of stealing from the likes of Boys Noize, Daft Punt and Deadmau5.

Listen to the two tracks below. Do you think will.i.am has been unfairly accused of stealing or is it all too similar?

LISTEN TO “LET’S GO” BY WILL.I.AM FEAT. CHRIS BROWN BELOW:

 

It looks like Rihanna isn’t only making a cameo in the This is the End movie,  but she’s also set to appear on Chris Brown’s new album. The track “Put It Up” will appear as a duet between the singer and Brown for his upcoming album, X.

The two previously recorded “Nobody’s Business” for her seventh album, Apologetic.

Brown told  MTV that he wanted a change from the same “four-on-the-floor” pop. He says that people expect that from them, so he wanted to change it up and have Rihanna sing a genre that people have not heard her tackle before. He said “I wanted to do an R&B record,” something he says is different for her. Brown says their new duet “Put it Up” is “youthful and at the same time sexy.” He also teased at a possible Chris Brown and Rihanna album.

Whatever people say about this duo clearly has little effect on them, as they continue to collaborate and make news by doing so. Nevertheless, it should be interesting to see their sounds come together, and see how their collaboration effects their respective records.

X is set to drop this summer.

Being Chris Brown’s publicist must be a nightmare. I’m sure there’s more to it than this College Humor video, but from just the looks of this, it’s hardly the high power job anyone in Hollywood would ever try to strive for.

In the world of celebrity news, there’s no shortage of hits and misses. This week, JT lights up the SNL stage, Britney Spears shows us her buns, and could this be the end of Miley and Liam?

HIT: JT rocks the SNL stage

Justin Timberlake hosted SNL for the fifth time last week. Decked out in his suit and tie, JT’s performance racked up some major views. His appearance earned SNL the most ratings they’ve ever had in the last 14 months. With a little dancing, singing and a sh*t load of lol moments, we were all glued to the screen. Here are just some highlights: JT reunites with funny man Andy Samberg for a duet, JT does the vegan shake and he props on a wig and impersonates Sir Elton John.  If you missed Justin’s hilarious performance, ENTV has got you covered. Prepare to laugh!

MISS: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth split?

Now we can’t confirm nor deny but these love birds could by flying the coup real soon. Miley’s partying ways and Liam’s wandering eyes are the main culprits for this alleged  fallout. Speculations started when Liam was spotted leaving a party with vixen January Jones and when Miley was seen without her engagement ring. Well the wedding date hasn’t been cancelled just yet, we’ll keep our fingers crossed. Come on guys where is the love?

My, my Chris Brown. You still have much to learn!

Performing at the Emerson Theatre in Hollywood early Thursday morning, the singer ranted to a crowd about how to treat a woman…and of course, the results were not pretty.

In his rant, the 23-year-old said:

“Every guy in this building has said one thing to their female … If you’re not an insecure n—-, and you let her have fun with her friends, I applaud you. But you gotta say that one thing to her, and I made this s–t up. [sings] Don’t make me have to tell you again, that that’s my p—y baby! It is mine, baby, babe, mine. So you better not give it away!”

As horrifying as this sounds, Brown continued with his proclamation with, ”So every person in this motherf—– building, if you got a bad b—h you better say that to her. Cause she might f–k another n—-.”

Yikes!  So much for trying to make an effort to gain everyone’s respect again.

Brown, who called the infamous 2009 Grammy’s incident where he beat Rihanna “the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake,” is probably the last person on Earth that should be offering advice on how to treat women.

As someone who is “trying” so hard to improve his image, he needs to be really careful with what he says. But alas, none of this is doing anything to help his case.

Oh, and by the way, women can speak for themselves on how to be treated.  We don’t need a man telling others how us females want.  We are human beings, not objects.

Click here to see the video of his rant.

 

With the screaming goat videos replacing the Harlem Shake as the Internet’s new viral video, why only stop at Taylor Swift? The new meme has everyone making remixes from Miley Cyrus, to One Direction and yes, even Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi? Trust me, the goat fits right into the song. Here are ten of the best goat videos out there right now:

Miley Cyrus – Party in the USA

This rendition of “Party in the USA” got me nodding my head like yeaaah, shaking my hips like yeaaaaah.

 

Justin Bieber – Baby

The classic “Baby” song. I think this one speaks for itself.

 

Rebecca Black – Friday

Is it bad to say that I believe this version might actually make it sound better?

It’s no secret that Law and Order loves borrowing story lines from the real world. Tabloid antics with celebs from Tom Cruise to Michael Jackson have turned into episode gold for the crime drama. The teaser for the next Law and Order: SVU involves a troubled celeb couple that are a liiiittle too similar to Rihanna and Chris Brown – and one of them dies!  Riri’s definitely had trouble keeping endorsements since she and CB got back together, but I doubt their love story will take a turn this shocking. Still makes for good TV!

In the world of celebrity news, there’s no shortage of hits and misses. It’s time to catch up with our favourite starlets, drama queens and wannabees. This week, J-biebs shares the love on Valentine’s Day,  One direction teases us with a new video and surprise, surprise, Kevin Federline may be in trouble.

HIT: One Direction goes Global with their new charity Single.

Okay Directioners, you’ve been waiting patiently and today, you can finally see the video for their new single, “One Way or Another (teenage Kicks)”.  Last week, our favourite British boys teased us with a preview of their latest project. In this super cute music video, the  boys find themselves monkeying around with kids from around the world. Adorable!  All of the proceeds from the track will go to U.K. charity, Comic Relief’s annual fundraiser, Red Nose Day.

MISS: Chris Brown is caught hanging out with ex Karreuche Tran.

While RiRi was off in London for Fashion Week, the always charming Chris Brown may have had a little fun without her. According to Perez Hilton, Breezy  and his ex, Karreuche Tran, arrived at last weekend’s NBA All Star weekend, but may have had a not-so-secret rendez-vous at the mansion Chris rented out! Karrueche supposedly Instagrammed a pic while at the mansion but  later deleted it.  Interesting….

HIT: Check out P!nks rock hard abs!

P!nk’s definitely got bikini bod ready to go.  In her ”The Truth About Love” tour, the singer shows off her sexy physic in a long-sleeved crop top and bedazled black pants. But seriously this picture makes me want to throw out the tubs of Ben & Jerry’s I’ve stashed in my freezer. Nah, maybe next week…

MISS: K-Fed joins the Tax Lien Club

Uncle Sam wants you, Federline. The D-list rapper,who has as much street cred as my Bubbie, apparently owes the IRS big! Brit-Brit’s baby daddy is just the latest celeb to join the Tax Lien Club!  According to TMZ, The lien is for over $57,000 in tax payments Kevin missed in 2009 and 2010! I wonder if he’ll be releasing any more “chart topping” singles to help pay this off? Well there’s always K-Mart, K-Fed.

HIT: J-Biebs spreads the love on Valentine’s Day.

This Canadian heart-throb had plenty of love to share on cupid’s holiday. “The As Long As You Love Me” singer tweeted: “U should know you are beautiful. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Awwh thanks Biebs!!  But who are we kidding, this tweet was clearly directed to ex Selena Gomez. If you were my boyfriend, Bieber, I’d never let you go! LOL!

MISS: Oscar Pistorius hits the courtroom

The paralympian appeared before a judge in Pretoria, South Africa after he allegedly murdered his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Save the waterworks, Pistorius.  After he was charged with one count of murder, all he did was cry. Pistorius claims that he shot the supermodel  because he thought she was an intruder. Police aren’t buying it  because the athlete’s been charged with “previous allegations of a domestic nature.”

We were all rooting for you, Pistorius! Why did you have to let us down? RIP Reeva

Though the above headline seems like awesome joke in the making, it happens to be the question on everyone’s mind after this photo of the two began circulating the Internet:

As “Rumour Has It” (too easy), the Brit singer yelled at a bitter Chris Brown for not standing up while Frank Ocean was accepting the award for Best Urban Contemporary Album of the Year at the Grammys Awards Sunday night.

While we would love to have listened on an Adele vocal beatdown, Adele cleared up that rumor as she tweeted, “Chris Brown and I were complimenting each other in that photo actually!”

Which totally makes sense because if Adele had yelled at Chris Brown, then we wouldn’t have gotten this head-scratcher of a photo:

So there you have it, Team Breezy. No need to send Adele any hate.

In the world of celebrity news, there’s no shortage of hits and misses. This week, Selena Gomez practically tells us who her favourite One Directioner is and Chris Brown gets into a fight with Frank Ocean.

HIT: Selena Gomez would kiss Zayn from One Direction

Single Selena Gomez recently dished to Extra! that she wouldn’t mind stealing a smooch from One Direction’s Zayn Malik. Doesn’t that sound like a great new relationship? She’s single, he’s s— oh, no. No, he is not single but I wouldn’t be surprise if he were currently headed for one considering his recently cheating scandal. Malik (who’s attached to pop star Perrie Edwards) had a one-night stand with a waitress. Oooooh! Can’t wait to see how this plays out!

MISS: Chris Brown and Frank Ocean got into a fight

Chris Brown can’t seem to stay out of trouble as the village idiot picked a fight with fellow Grammy nominee, Frank Ocean. The confrontation allegedly escalated when Ocean left Brown’s handshake hanging or over a parking space. Ocean and Brown acknowledged the scuffle on the Internet in their own respective ways. Ocean tweeted the incident and added, “”Cut my finger now I can’t play w/two hands at the Grammys,” while Brown practically compared himself to Jesus on the cross on Instagram. Brown has since made his account on the photo sharing website private and is currently under investigation. GO TEAM OCEAN!

HIT: Bradley Cooper took off his shirt at a spin class causing women to fall off their bikes

In his quest of perpetual handsomeness, current best actor nominee Bradley Cooper hit up a spin class in New York City for a quick work out and caused a lot of women to fall off their bikes. According to the New York Post, the actor tried to be incognito and wore a long sleeved shirt for most of the class until he decided to whip it off at the very end. The Post’s sources said at that point “girls were literally falling off their bikes,” but “he was super gracious” to the fans that had the courage to say hello after class. I hope someone took the opportunity to ask him out because he is single.

MISS: Justin Bieber fondles a fan Read more…

Dear readers,

The next time we meet again, 2013 will be well on its way. While I look forward to the new year ahead of us, I can’t help but look back at some of 2012′s hits and misses. Thus, I present to you the best and worst of 2012 a.k.a. the year the world was supposed to end according to the Mayan but didn’t (thanks, Doctor!). Enjoy!

HIT: One Direction Mania

Every couple of years, a new teenage heartthrob comes in to replace the older version. In 2012 though, we not only got one cutie patootie, we got FIVE all thanks to music business genius and X-Factor judge, Simon Cowell. One Direction hit North American by storm selling millions of records, filling up concert venues and causing riots everywhere they went. If they can shoot out more infectious pop hits and stay as charming as they are in interviews, they can easily bypass the press’ comparisons to the Beatles and maybe last longer the few years normally allotted to boy bands.

MISS: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez split up

With the final blow of a heart-wrenching split, it’s official: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were the Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake of this generation, minus the matching denim outfit. With only rumours of a rekindling love affair to keep us warm at night, I’m going to call this celebrity relationship as official over until they show up at the next red carpet event hand in hand. Otherwise, I guess the title of the greatest lasting love story of this generation has to go to Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth by default. They may not be as picture perfect as everyone would like them to be, but they’ve been together for years and are engaged. Congrats, Miley!

HIT: Honey Boo Boo

Whether or not you were laughing along or laughing at her, you can’t deny the attention the sassy pageant princess known as Honey Boo Boo garnered this year. Honey Boo Boo, a.k.a. Alana Thompson, and her rag tag redneck family entertained us all summer long with their unusual ways and head scratching taglines. While TLC has moved incredibly far from the educational channel it initially hoped to be, we can learn a lot from Honey Boo Boo with her high level of self-confidence that many people (adults included) lack. You go, Alana!

MISS: Chris Brown Twitter attack/meltdown Read more…

In the world of celebrity news, there’s no shortage of hits and misses. This week, Cory and Topanga will join Girl Meets World and Chris Brown fans get a little out of hand on Twitter.

HIT: Cory and Topanga Officially Join Boy Meets World Spinoff

Ben Savage (a.k.a. Cory Matthews) and Danielle Fishel (Topanga) have officially confirmed that they will be involved in Girl Meets World. As a long time fan (my family has most of Boy Meets World on DVD), there are a couple things I would like to see: Mr. Feeny, the crazy version of Cory’s older brother Eric (circa the college years), and Mr. Feeny. Unfortunately for Shawn Hunter fans, Rider Strong confirmed on his website that he will not be part of the new series. (As of now, anyways. There’s still time!)

MISS: Twitter Death Threats Post-Chris Brown Twitter Account Deletion

Since I’ve already discussed my feelings towards Chris Brown here, I’d like to point out another thing that bothered me about the whole Chris Brown debacle: the resulting death threats from Team Breezy to comedian Jenny Johnson. While it’s not something that only plagues the Chris Brown fanbase, it is the most recent flurry of despicable internet behavior. Just because one’s favourite figure has done something (in this case, Brown quitting Twitter) doesn’t give anyone the right to be sending messages to whomever is being accused of causing that action (Johnson). We also must remember the difference between criticism and pure, unadulterated hatred. The internet can be wonderful with its cats but can turn very dark and vitriolic as we’ve seen countless of times in the case of online bully. So, dear internet readers, let’s try to think before we tweet death threats even if they’re supposedly “meaningless” because, let’s face it, they never are.

HIT: Liz and Dick Twitter Jokes

While one half of the Twitter population was going nuts over Chris Brown, the other half tried to stoically the Lifetime movie Liz and Dick starring Lindsay Lohan. Again, I did say try but it didn’t take long for a flurry of tweets to reach my phone alerting me to how bad Liz and Dick was. Between the tweets and this montage of the movie’s worst lines, it may just be 2012’s answer to The Room. Considering The Room’s cult success (there’s a movie theatre in Ottawa that plays it at least once a month), being bad isn’t a terrible thing. While Lohan may be further away from an Oscar than ever before, she is one step closer to being a phenomenon (if we don’t count her reoccurring tabloid roles, that is).

MISS: Angus T. Jones Calls his Show Two and a Half Men “Filth” Read more…

Here in the office, we got tired of Chris Brown’s shenanigans looong ago. Not only because he’s just a complete dunscap, but because he’s basically trolling the world at this point. After his many questionable decisions — getting a tattoo of a beaten woman on his neck, loving two women at the same time and feuding with his ex, Rihanna — I’m starting to think he’s just doing all this sh*t to get attention.

His latest stunt? This Halloween he dressed up as a member of the Taliban. He posed for a photo with his friends and tweeted: “Ain’t nobody Fucking wit my clique!!!!”, a reference to Kanye West and Jay-Z’s song “Clique.” Yikes! He was dressed up to go to Rihanna’s party in West Hollywood.

What do you think? Does Chris Brown just need to go away?

Watch it here:

After reflecting on his 2009 domestic abuse case with Rihanna on the MTV series This is How I Made It, Chris Brown has said that he understands why some members of the public dislike him even though he’s made peace with the singer.

“I can’t hate people for making judgment on me, or making a decision of liking me or not liking me,” Brown said. “All I can do is try to better as a person.  And I’m good with knowing everything isn’t always going to be perfect.”

He then went on to say that he feels content to have made great steps in redeeming his image over the past year.  How?  By winning a Grammy of course.

“For me to have that achievement [of winning a Grammy Award], and to go through people’s whole opinions changing of me, to get personal opinion back and having to gain personal success back – it’s not all the way back, you know – but it’s been one of my most humbling experiences.”

Well, isn’t that considerate of you to not blame the general public?  Just in case you didn’t know, you still act like a massive JERK (REMEMBER THIS?).

LIKE COME ON.  You may claim to be known for “situations and life obstacles”  but a Grammy really doesn’t redeem yourself as a person. You can win all the awards, but saying all of this means nothing until you start owning up to your mistakes.

With rumours swirling around that Rihanna and Chris Brown have rekindled their romance, Oprah, who once insisted on her talk show, “He will hit you again,” has now spoken out.

“I think that if (Rihanna) is prepared to deal with that and is prepared to help him (Chris) help himself then so be it,” she told Extra.

“I have no judgment about it. That’s why I can sit there and have such a great time with her because I do all my interviews with no judgment whatsoever. If that’s how you choose to lead your life, that’s really okay.”

Although Oprah is not sure if the rumours about the reunion is true, it was Rihanna who told the talkshow host earlier this year that she was still in love with Brown.

“You know what I loved about that interview is that she came with a big wide open heart,” Oprah continued. “She was in the space of forgiveness. And that she learned a lesson that she was repeating with Chris Brown — exactly what she needed to learn from her father.”

After hearing Oprah say this, I have a lot of respect for her.  Understanding that it is a woman’s right to date whoever she wants, Oprah really does mind her own business and remains supportive no matter what.

I feel we should do the same.  While we might not be fans of Brown after he hurt Rihanna, it isn’t up to us to decide what she can and can’t do.

If RiRi’s happy to see him at peace, then it’s only up to us to hope  she’s aware of what she’s getting into.

I’m pretty tired of all the Chris Brown bashing, not because I support him (obviously what he did was completely wrong) but because there’s very little worthwhile discussion that’s coming out of the whole thing anymore. Instead of focusing on the core issues (abuse) people are now just hating on him as an excuse to be mean. The guy clearly has deep seeded issues.

Anyway, I still need to post this Vimeo video called “The Real Chris Brown,” in which he talks about being in love with two people. Brown recently broke up with Karrueche Tran and was  spotted canoodling with his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna.

Sadly, dude just doesn’t know when to shut his mouth and even worse, he did it this time when he was drunk. He says in the video:

When you share history with somebody and then you fall in love with somebody else it’s kind of difficult. … I don’t wanna hurt either or. I’m not trying [to] be a player… I just care. Too much sometimes.

If Brown wants to bounce back I think he needs to sit down with Oprah (sober) and have an honest conversation rather than talk gibberish in artsy videos.

Watch it here:
