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.
In Case You Missed It: Chris Brown performs on Grammys
Troubled singer Chris Brown lip synced during the 54th Annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center for the first time since beating the crap out of his former girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009.
Brown’s performance was made possible by a sympathetic judge who lifted his restraining order last year at the request of Rihanna’s legal team. Brown lip synced a techno junk medley of his songs “Turn Up The Music” and “Beautiful People” much to the delight of his fans who squealed when he came out onstage in tight grey skinny jeans.
Nas pays up, but NJ father and son remain captives in Angola
The ordeal of a NJ concert promoter and his son being held captive in Angola is far from over.
The NY Daily News reports that concert promoter Patrick Allocco, 51, and his son Patrick, 22, of Morristown, NJ, are still being held against their will in a seedy motel “in a nightmarish dispute with a furious Angolan promoter and his gun-toting henchmen.”
According to the paper, Nas, along with budding female rapper Jemiah Jai, reportedly pocketed $315,000 in advance — but never boarded a plane to perform New Year’s shows in Luanda, the Angolan capital.
“That they’re being held for something that somebody else did is preposterous,” said worried wife and mother Abby Allocco.
The moment the Allocco’s discovered that Nas was not coming to Angola on New Year’s they attempted to flee, but their driver stopped at a store, claiming he had to meet someone. Fearing they were being set up, the father and son jumped out of the taxi but they were quickly surrounded by armed thugs toting AK-47s on the orders of Angolan promoter Henrique Miguel.
Walk of Shame: Celebs glam it up on red carpet before Whitney’s body is removed from hotel
Self-centered celebrities such as Ciara, Diana Ross, Kelly Rowland, Kim Kardashian, and others, cheesed for the cameras on the red carpet at Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy party at the Beverly Hills Hilton, while the body of pop icon Whitney Houston’s was in rigor mortis in her room at the same hotel.
These celebs wait all year to strut their stuff at Davis’ annual party-of=the-year, so they are not going to let something like the death of a legend stop them from being seen on the red carpet. As you look at the pics after the break, keep in mind that these celebrities were fully aware that Houston’s body had not been removed from her room yet.
Rihanna and Chris Brown seen entering the same studio
Troubled singers Rihanna and Chris Brown were seen entering a West Hollywood recording studio yesterday — at separate times, not together. (the photo above is for illustrative purposes only). Rihanna’s reps have dismissed rumors that Rihanna is reconciling with her abusive ex-boyfriend. But there is a new rumor that they are recording a track together — possibly a remix of one of Rihanna’s songs. Rihanna and Brown are expected to take the stage at the Grammy Awards tomorrow — though not together. It will be their first time attending the Grammy’s at the same time since the incident in 2009 when Brown savagely punched, bit and stomped Rihanna in a fit of rage that still resonates today. Brown has said he will not give interviews this year, and he is not expected to walk the red carpet.
Kim Kardashian is a changed woman
This photo of disgraced reality TV personality Kim Kardashian was snapped earlier this week when Kim was on her way to Bible study with her new bestie, singer Leann Rimes. (I guess La La Anthony was busy).
Kim has dedicated herself to bagging the very religious Denver broncos quarterback Tim Tebow by pretending she’s spiritual, prayerful and virginal. On Sunday, she even tweeted that she was on her way to church — something she has never tweeted before.
Luckily, Tim is not as dumb as Kris Humphries – Kim’s hapless ex-husband of 72 days.
