Outrage over Chris Brown tweets
The blogosphere is outraged over Twitter users’ response to troubled singer Chris Brown’s Grammy Awards performance last night. As you know, last night was the first time Brown attended the Grammys in 3 years since 2009 when he beat the crap out of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
Critics expressed outrage that Brown’s immature young fans were tweeting that they would let Brown beat them up, or inflict damage to their genital areas.
But why are we surprised when the teen pregnancy rate is at an all-time high due to the lack of morals and no sex education in schools? The anger and indignation should have been reserved for the Grammy Recording Academy who rewarded Brown with a trophy for Best R&B album.
Examples of the fans’ tweets are below and after the break ( courtesy of Colorlines blog).
Catholics call for boycott of CBS after Nicki Minaj’s bizarre Grammy performance
Outraged Catholics are calling for a boycott of CBS network following rapper Nicki Minaj’s bizarre Grammy Awards performance last night.
The talentless Minaj, 29, arrived at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards dressed in a red satin Versace cape with a Caucasian man dressed as the Pope on her arm. Later in the telecast, Minaj acted like a woman possessed — performing her single “Roman’s Holiday” with bizarre satanic rituals which included levitation and an exorcism onstage before a shocked Grammy audience.
“Nicki’s disturbing performance at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards was a blatant attack on the Catholic church,” wrote one outraged blogger.
If the stage was set as a Jewish Holocaust, or a black slavery set or some kind of mockery of Muhammad and Islam glorifying slave owners, there would be outrage. But because its the Catholic church that Minaj is mocking, somehow it’s allowed.
Other blogs are calling for the boycott of CBS and its sponsors, saying the Grammy’s are increasingly relying on shock and vulgarity to attract more viewers to the show.
The Catholic League was also not amused by Minaj’s performance.
“Perhaps the most vulgar was the sexual statement that showed a scantily clad female dancer stretching backwards while an altar boy knelt between her legs in prayer,” Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League told CBS New York.
“None of this was by accident, and all of it was approved [by] The Recording Academy, which puts on the Grammys. [Whether] Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of The Recording Academy. Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam,” Donohue said.
Is Halle Berry’s daughter Nahla a special needs child?
Earlier this week, I received an email from a loyal reader who asked to remain anonymous. According to the email author, Nahla may be autistic. At this moment, Nahla’s dad, former underwear model Gabrielle Aubry is behind closed doors in a special hearing in Dependency Court “because authorities are concerned about his ability to safely care for his child,” according to celebrity gossip website TMZ.com.
TMZ reports that “the DCFS investigation goes beyond an incident in which Gabriel allegedly pushed the nanny who was holding 3-year-old Nahla.”
It seems the scope of the problem may be that Aubry gets angry and loses his patience with his daughter who requires special care and attention.
None of this has been confirmed. But it is interesting that CPS has once again recommended that another adult be present whenever Nahla is in Aubry’s custody.

Madonna Calls M.I.A. Finger Flip “Childish” and “Irrelevant”
Pop icon Madonna is said to be “furious” at singer M.I.A. for stealing the show during Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime performance. Madonna put on an elaborate halftime show for the ages, complete with gladiators and a golden throne. But it was M.I.A.’s middle finger flip everyone talked about for days afterwards.
Madonna called into the ‘On Air With Ryan Seacrest’ show this morning. When she was asked about the controversial hand gesture by M.I.A., Madonna went IN. The superstar called M.I.A.’s stunt “stupid”, “childish”, and “a juvenile thing to do.” She added that M.I.A. was “irrelevant.” Madonna has a right to be heated after all that hard work she put in. But the one who should really be mad is Nicki Minaj. Her halftime contribution hasn’t been mentioned at all in the press.

Twitter FAIL: Is this kiddie pr0n?
Remember the furor caused by ‘Basketball Wife‘ Royce Reed after she tweeted a pic of her man sleeping with her son? Well, Ice T’s wife, Co Co, has joined the ranks of the tasteless and the foolish by tweeting a pic of herself completely naked resting her oversized melons on top of her sleeping nephew.
Co Co’s nephew is her sister Kristy Williams’ son.
The 32-year-old sometime model deleted the picture after her furious Twitter.com followers complained about the vulgarity of the pic. Amid the horrific stories of sexual abuse of schoolchildren coming out of California, this is not the time for attention seeking celebs to display inappropriate photos involving children.
Coincidentally, the 2nd season of E! TV’s reality show Ice-T Loves Coco premieres on Sunday, Feb. 12, at 11PM ET. Click here to watch a sneak preview.

Beyoncé Caught Lying Again?
Once again, Beyoncé was caught telling a bold faced lie after claiming she attended her husband Jay Z’s concert at Carnegie Hall on Monday night.
But was she really lying this time?
On Tuesday, the 40/40 club’s PR people sent out an email stating, “Despite various reports, Beyoncé did not attend Jay-Z’s concert.”
Indeed, the only photos we saw of Beyoncé were when she was leaving Jay Z’s 40/40 club after the concert.
Beyoncé herself added to the confusion when a NY Daily News reporter caught up to her outside the 40/40 club. The reporter specifically asked Bey if she attended the concert.
Shortly after the booty-licious mama arrived at her husband’s 40/40 Club for post-concert festivities Monday night, we asked her if she’d gone to the show.
“Yes,” she told us, calling her spouse’s concert “amazing.”
Apparently, Jay Z and his people were concerned that not enough mention was made of Beyoncé’s appearance at the 40/40 Club after the concert. The 40/40 Club needs all the publicity it can get. As you know, the bar came under scrutiny when the city’s health department shut them down for failing an inspection one day after the grand re-opening last month.
CPS Recommends Gabe Have Monitored Visitations With Nahla
The Los Angeles County of Department of Children and Family Services is recommending that Halle Berry’s ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, have another adult present when has custody of his daughter, Nahla, Radar Online reports exclusively.
The decision comes two weeks after Berry’s former nanny filed a police report alleging that Aubry assaulted her while she was holding Nahla.
“Social workers have recommended that Halle maintain primary custody of Nahla,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “Nahla spends most of her time with her mother. DCFS has also made a new recommendation that Gabriel not be alone with Nahla.
“Case workers are recommending that a nanny be present with Gabriel during his visitation times. Halle’s nanny had been with Nahla when Gabriel had his custodial time from noon until she went to sleep. However, after the alleged incident between the nanny and Gabe, that hasn’t been in place, and he has been alone with Nahla.
“It will be up to the judge to implement the recommendations. Gabriel is fighting having another person with him, he feels that Halle is trying to make his time with their daughter as uncomfortable as possible,” the insider says.
The report also recommends Berry and Aubry attend child parenting classes together.
