Chris Brown Miami Beach February 2012

Chris Brown snatches fan’s cell phone in Miami Beach, may face felony robbery charges

ByAsa Hawks

Singer Chris Brown let his temper and inflated sense of self-importance get the best of him again as he reportedly snatched a female fan’s cell phone after leaving a Miami Beach club early Sunday morning, telling her, “B!tch, you ain’t going to put that on no website.” The Florida State Attorney’s office is reportedly preparing an arrest warrant for felony “robbery by sudden snatching,” which could be disastrous for the 22-year-old singer because he is still on probation for assault charges stemming from his brutal attack of then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.

UPDATED with a photo of Chris Brown leaving Cameo on the night of the alleged incident. (It seems a photo made it on a website despite Brown’s efforts)

How Adam Levine maroons his marauders and why he considers it safe sex

ByDarren O

Howard Stern did his job again as he got Maroon 5’s lead singer and The Voice judge Adam Levine to over share during an appearance on his radio show. Actually this TMI-fest also included Adam’s Victoria’s Secret model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna too as they discussed Adam’s co-host Christina Aguilera, how the two met and one other topic of general import. While Adam coaches ’em up pretty well on The Voice as his team claimed victory in season 1, I wouldn’t suggest that anyone go to the kid for birth control advice. Read and hear Adam’s “fail proof system” for not making babies along with what Anne would do if it did fail.

If I were to stagger away from my laptop and make my way to the nearest confessional booth I’d have to admit first to the fact that I’ve watched the Swayze vehicle Road House more times than any other film.

For you fellow believers or non converted check out what very well may be the most awesomest less than a minute clip in YouTube history as someone steeped in Dalton zen has condensed every face punch from the film in to one clip of 80’s film glory truth!

Listen to Rihanna and Chris Brown’s controversial Birthday Cake Remix; are they getting back together?

ByStarcasm Staff

It’s been over three years since the domestic violence incident that shook the pop culture world. Now, after lots of drama and legal proceedings, Chris Brown and Rihanna have been hanging out again.

Part of Chris Brown’s 2009 punishment for hitting Rihanna was that he wasn’t allowed to see her. February 2011 Brown got his restraining order downgraded to a “level one” meaning that he can now spend time with Rihanna, but cannot “annoy, molest, or conduct surveillance of the person on the order.”

Chris attended Rihanna’s 24th birthday party, though he tried to keep it a secret, even asking guests to sign a confidentiality agreement (his efforts failed big time.) The former couple have also released two collaborations together: “Birthday Cake Remix” and “Turn up the Music Remix.”

TLC’s controversial reality series Toddlers and Tiaras seems to make headlines every week thanks to the things the young girls are asked by their mothers (and sometimes fathers) to do and wear while on stage competing in beauty pageants.
