Karrueche Hosts ‘The Kill’ Launch Party at Vanquish Lounge
Chris Brown‘s longtime girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, hosted a launch party for her clothing line, The Kill, at Vanquish Lounge in Atlanta last night. I met Karrueche for the first time last night, and I was impressed by her professionalism and how charming and sweet she was. She looks much thinner in person. And she’s short! Now that Rihanna is out of the picture, and no longer running interference, Chris can concentrate on helping Karrueche build her brand. I also met Brandy‘s brother Ray J. Also in the house were former NFL star Terrell Owens and music producer Jazze Pha, among others.
Vanquish Thursdays is brought to you by Jacob York and Michael Gidewon of The Gidewon Group! Visit Reignatlanta.com to RSVP for next Thursday’s grown and sexy party!

Singer Chris Brown and a guest attended last night’s “PUNK: Chaos To Couture” Costume Institute Gala after party at The Standard hotel. According to my west coast connect, Brown is totally over his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Rihanna. They never were really back together. Like most opportunists, Brown used Rihanna to gain sympathy from her fans. Rihanna, who is desperate for Love, fell for his boyish charms and allowed him to use her for his own personal and financial gain.

Chris Brown and Rihanna Split Up (Again)

I know this is getting tiresome, but troubled singer Chris Brown has confirmed his break up with singer Rihanna, 25.
In an interview with Australia’s 2Day radio show “The Kyle and Jackie Show,” Brown was asked if he planned to celebrate his 24th birthday on Sunday alone.
“Yeah, Imma do it solo,” Brown said. “I mean, at the end of the day, shawty doing her thang, she on the road … It’s always gonna be love. I’m just gonna do me. I’m a grown man. Just gotta fast forward.”
New Music: Chris Brown – I Can’t Win

Loyal reader Bird informed me that troubled singer Chris Brown released a new song this morning, titled “I Can’t Win”, in which he laments about being with a girl who’s in love with a bottle. I’m not one to put much stock in song lyrics, but in this case, I wonder who he’s talking about?
-
Why you angry all the time?
Why you don’t wanna ride for me?
Girl we used to make love
When you called I would follow
Now the only thing you love is a bottle
Listen to the song and read the lyrics after the break.
Did Chris Brown cut Teyana Taylor off for stalking him?

Everyone knows that socialite Teyana Taylor had a thing for troubled singer Chris Brown back in the day. Sources whisper that Breezy may have even had his way with TT during his hiatus from Rihanna. But did Teyana’s slavish devotion to Brown turn him off after he hit that? No man wants a needy, desperate chick — which explains why Brown isn’t following Rihanna on her current tour.
