Chris Brown Wants Restraining Order Removed

Chris Brown wants to attend the Grammys without having to calculate or bother all the time whether he is running foul of the number of yards specified on his restraining order.
The Deuces singer who has 3 Grammy nods has appeared at Los Angeles superior Court on 28th January, 2011 to request that his Rihanna restraining order be lifted in time for next month’s Grammy Awards.
The Judge commended Chris’ effort so far and said that she would not oppose the restraining order being reduced but said that the matter must be put to Rihanna’s Legal team.
Brezzy was told he must return to court in a fortnight to hear the outcome of the decision
Am seriously rooting for his restraining order being reduced but that is what you get for loosing your cool on the eve of the 2009 Grammys

Glee Drops Eminem’s Song

Ryan Murphy the creator of Glee (IMO the best musical TV series ever) has revealed that plans to cover one of Eminem’s songs on the show has been dropped because it is expensive.
Glee had planned to cover the rapper’s hit track “Lose Yourself” (OST for 8 mile) in one it’s episodes but had a change of heart after Em’s record label Aftermath Entertainment demanded a whooping $200,000 in rights
Apparently Murphy said it couldn’t be done cuz it was way over their budget. *sad faced, pouting, sulking, groaning*

Insults and Classy replies

Now for what i call a classy reply to an insult, Glee had eralier asked Kings of Leon for permisiion to let their song feature in the show. Well this is what their guitarist (Slash) had to say

We got asked about that (Glee) once already  but it got turned down…Glee is worse than Grease

*mouth agape* he didn’t just say that
Ryan (not letting some rockers have the last word) responded to this comment no insult this way (trust, its classic *wink*)

Usually I find that people who make those comments , their careers are over; they’re uneducated and quite stupid

*throwing fist in the air* yesss. I love you for that classy reply Ryan

Bruno Mars May Not Go To Jail

Set to Plead guilty to Cocaine Charge

Bruno mars will be receiving a fine, probation and community service in return for pleading guilty to cocaine possession when he appears in court next month.
Specifics of the plea deal will see the Grenade singer being given a $2,000 fine, 200 hours community service and placed on one year probation. He must also attend drug counselling.
The best part of this deal is that after the successfully completion of the above the case will be dismissed and removed from his record *heaves sigh of relief*
Am sure you are wondering how he got in possession of cocaine *shrugs shoulders* beats me
On September 19, 2010 Peter Hernandez (Bruno Mars) was arrested after an alleged 2.6g of cocaine was found in his possession in a bathroom of a Las Vegas club after a performance. According to reports, Bruno told the security guard that he “did a foolish thing and has never used drugs before”
You damn right that was foolish, what were you thinking? What are you trying to do? Destroy your carrier just as it is off to a terrific start!!! Someone had better ask him if he hasn’t heard of Lindsay Lohan or better still Kurt Cobaine

In other reminder-kinda-Mars related news, Bruno’s chart topping hit Grenade has returned back (to its rightful place) to No 1. On the billboard hot 100 making it its 3^rd non-consecutive week at the top of the charts. Grenade knocked out Britney Spears’ “Hold It Against Me” which made its debut on the hot 100 at No. 1 last week, making it the 18^th song in billboard history to achieve this feat. H.I.A.M tumbled to No. 6.
Seriously I Just can’t seem to get in the hype of HIAM, it’s just not growing on me yet but it’s a good song anyways. Maybe I should give it more time.
Elsewhere Grenade is also holding the No. 1 spot at the official singles chart in the U.K.His smash hit LP Doo-wops & Hooligans is also holding the No. 1 position in the official album chart of the U.K

Weird: Diddy Blamed for 9/11

Seriously this no joke, a woman – Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks has filed a whooping $1 trillion lawsuit (yeah I said $1 trillion) against Sean Combs (Diddy) alleging that he caused 9/11, put her child in the hospital and stole a poker chip with “100 zillions of dollars)
Am sure you’re still reeling from the weirdness of it all but there is still more. According to court papers obtained by radaronline.com Turks believe Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy (or whatever he calls himself these days), his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter and LAPD brutality victim Rodney King were behind the collapse of the World Trade Centre towers. Is it me or my sensing some sort of craziness here but that’s not all folks read on.
This Turks lady claims she once dated the rapper/music executive and they have a son together named Cornelius Wilson, aged 23. *wide-eyed WTF*
She said she won the poker chip worth “100 zillions of dollars” at a casino in Mississippi.
A hearing has been set for Jan. 31 and she is asking for $900 billion in child support and $100 billion for “loss of income”
I am kinda speechless, all I can say is crazy, crazy and I mean crazy about the WTC part but the child and poker chips part...hmmm
So What Do you think?

50 Cent to Release Album This Year

Rapper cum business entrepreneur Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has expressed his desire to return to music. In an interview with MTV News US fiddy cent explained that fans should look forward to an album this summer. This will be his fifth studio album

Am guessing summer is the in-thing time for releasing LPs as Kanye West had already taken to twitter on Monday to confirm he will be releasing during the summer. If you could recall fifty had previously said he will be focusing more on films *change of heart/Eureka moment?* I just pray he does better this time.

The LP is reportedly said to feature productions from Dr. Dre, Swizz Beats and British hit-maker Alex Da Kid (Eminem – love the way you lie, T.I. – Castle walls)

Any Thoughts?
