Yesterday, TMZ.com broke the news revealing Chris Brown’s mystery woman. I just want to take this time to thank all my loyal (and not so loyal) readers who recall that we broke the story first about Chris & Tina on my old blog. Thanks for all your emails yesterday. I apologize that I couldn’t respond to them all.

I especially want to thank my folks — my longtime readers who stuck with me through all the drama and all the the hate heaped on Sandrarose.com from the very beginning when Sandrarose.com was a simple html page. Readers like Bird, 2bme, 2thick, Smokie (my biggest hatah), and others. But I want to send a special thanks to all my inside sources. Without You there would be no Sandrarose.com!

Kudos to my #1 source who originally emailed me the Chris Brown/Tina story. At first I didn’t believe him. But when he said the info came from Chris’ mom, well, it takes a lot for a mom to put her own son out there like that. My source has given us some of the biggest scoops over the years, and asks for nothing in return. He is a top-level music industry veteran who moves easily within that tight circle of trusted friends that celebrities surround themselves with.

He takes great pride in his career and he takes great risk by reaching out to us and revealing the intimate secrets of his friends. We appreciate him for that and we can not thank him enough. I may not have TMZ money to buy scoops, but I have my loyal sources like him and my readers like You who support everything we do.
