Chris Brown’s Career Is Dead

Last night, singer Chris Brown recorded a message begging his fans to save his career. It seems the radio stations are still refusing to play his music following his conviction on domestic abuse charges for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Radio stations rightfully banned Brown’s music because of the sheer brutality of the attack and because of his actions afterward.

The lack of radio spins meant his album, Graffiti, which dropped in late 2009, was dead on arrival. The CD has only sold 260,000 copies to date.

What Chris Brown fails to understand is that he can’t put his hands on a woman and then go jet skiing in Florida. He can’t go on the Larry King show in a bow tie acting as if he is the victim. And he can’t blame the victim for making him hit her.

I refuse to post a link to Chris Brown’s pleas to save his career because I want him to go away quietly. I’m not using my blog to spread Chris Brown’s message to the few fans he has left. The time for him to beg forgiveness was the moment before he ran off into the night like a coward after kicking, biting, punching and slapping a defenseless female.

It was the viciousness of the attack that we can’t forgive. Buh bye, Chris.

Amber Rose Knows Her Limitations

The other day when sometime model Amber Rose was in Atlanta, a BET rep reached out to her people with an offer to pay her hotel and expenses for an additional day if she would commit to going on Oscar winner Mo’Nique’s talk show.

From what I was told, the response from Amber’s rep was a terse, “no, thank you. She doesn’t do interviews.” The BET rep reminded her people that in order for Amber to be considered a celebrity (pseudo or otherwise), she should appear on Mo’Nique’s talk show so the people could at least hear what she sounds like. Particularly in light of the fact that Amber’s looks alone isn’t pulling patrons into the clubs where she’s paid $5,000 a pop for 30 minutes to an hour.

A local club promoter who I spoke with said he barely recouped the cash he laid out for plane tickets and hotel rooms for Amber and her small entourage of lesbuns and her brother.

But again, Amber’s people politely declined the invitation for her to appear on Mo’s show.

I’m told Amber also turned down an interview request from TV talk show Diva Wendy Williams, who had actor Lance Gross on her show yesterday. Which proves that the pool of available (real) celebrities to interview is a very shallow one if you’re not paying them to sit on your sofa.

But I would like to believe that the reason Amber turned down Mo’Nique and Wendy’s requests for an interview, is not because she’s greedy for money or anything like that. But because Amber knows the limitations of her (no talent) fame. She knows that if she goes on those shows and opens her mouth she will remove all doubt that she’s nothing more than an airhead and an opportunistic, professional beard to troubled rapper Kanye West.

Celebrity Seed: Tyrese

R&B crooner and part-time model Tyrese Gibson and his adorable daughter Shayla enjoyed a little moment together while his estranged wife Norma Gibson got them some yogurt from Angelina Yogurt in Beverly Hills, CA. If you recall, this is the same baby mama who dragged Tyrese into court last year to try and take all he’s got. But Tyrese had his paperwork in order and was able to prove to a judge that he hasn’t had a hit in years so a brova is flat broke.

OK, I’m kidding with that last sentence. Actually, Tyrese was smart and made ol’ girl sign an iron clad pre-nup guaranteeing that she left the marriage with only the clothes on her back and $50,000 for every year they stayed married. Unfortunately for her, they were only married for 10 months.

Pity The Fools

Being fabulously wealthy is not all it’s cracked up to be. Just ask the former instant millionaires who wished they’d never bought that Lottery ticket after burning through millions and ending up broke.

Celebrities who are also narcissists covet money above all else, so their opinions don’t count. Narcissists flaunt wealth and material things because they don’t have a firm sense of self. So they consider cash and material objects to be an extension of themselves (such as an arm or leg). They can’t live without it and will do anything to get it.

It is very necessary for them to constantly remind themselves (and us) that they ARE the things they covet the most. So they need money and material things to validate them and remind them that they are alive. It’s the reason why they flaunt money and drape themselves in jewelry and name brand gear, while billionaires like Ted Turner drive Toyota’s to work.

That would explain why Beyonce wore a $5 million ring on ABC’s Good Morning America yesterday, and then later claimed she forgot she was wearing the rock. Yea, right.

Or why TV’s biggest narcissist, Simon Cowell, tooled around LA yesterday with a gorgeous brunette (his fiancee) in the passenger seat of his $1.4 million Bugatti (that’s one million, four hundred thousand dollars for a car).

And last night, rap’s biggest egomaniac Sean “Puffy” Combs flashed a thick wad of $100 bills at a concert to honor the 13th anniversary of the death of Notorious B.I.G. at the famous Brooklyn ‘Lab Sports Bar’. An industry insider told us, “Puff acts like new money… like he isn’t used to having money, cars or pu$$y.”

Riker’s Guard Reveals Lil Wayne’s First Few Days in Prison

On Monday, Rapper Lil Wayne began serving a 12 month sentence for weapons possession at NY’s infamous Riker’s Island prison. With rumors of gang threats against his life weighing heavy on his mind, Wayne made the brave decision to mingle with the prison population rather than accept a cell on an isolaton ward.

Still, according to a Riker’s guard who spoke with blogger Combat Jack, Wayne has been receiving special treatment from Riker’s corrections officers, two of whom have already been written up for bending the prison’s rules for Weezy:

“…A couple of guards have been written up, only because they’ve acted like fans, having more personal interaction with Wayne than is procedure, prolly acting all star struck, which, once again, the system does it’s best to discourage… For the most part though, Wayne has been pretty quiet, staying mostly inside his jail cell. There doesn’t seem to be anyone, any faction trying to get at him in any harmful way, because he’s new and because he hasn’t violated any of the codes customary to inmate living the prison life. As I was told, it’s too early to determine how the rest of his experience will be, but so far, so good. It’s all in Lil Wayne’s hands.“

The guard also said the prison has been inundated with calls from Wayne’s camp questioning if the prison will force Wayne to cut his dreads. Prison officials say that as long as Wayne’s dreads are real (and he keeps them neat and clean) they won’t be chopped off. Hopefully, they’re real.

The NY prison system provides barbers and beauticians for the inmates to keep them looking presentable free of charge.

State of NY Investigating Jay Z, Beyonce Finances?

Rap mugul Jay Z, real name Shawn Carter, is having trouble finding tax shelters to hide his cash. Every business he has owned or been a part of has either shut down or is running in the red. So when a group of NY “investors” approached the lyricist about an idea to invest in a NYC casino and slot machines, Jay Z jumped at the chance.

But, according to ContactMusic, the Jigga man pulled his investment after NY gaming officials apprised him of new rules which will force all the investors to submit comprehensive records on their own finances, and those of their spouses.

According to insiders, the new rule was created specifically for Jigga and his bridezilla, Beyonce as part of an ongoing undercover probe into the couple’s shady financial dealings.

The order would have meant Jay Z and his wife Beyonce would have to turn over their income records to the state. And with Beyonce already under investigation for racketeering and other federal charges, Jay Z didn’t want to risk the state getting wind of any of his and Bey’s crooked dealings.

But once the state comes sniffing around your finances, they usually don’t back off. If they don’t get him now they will get him later.
