Chris Brown (and his now trademark bow tie) sat down with the Hot 97’s Angie Martinez Show this yesterday. It was more of the same questions about THE incident (Rihanna this, Rihanna that) but he did have Oprah’s name in his mouth again because he feels like she made him the bad guy on a domestic violence episode.

“I’m very tight. I don’t diss Oprah because I respect her as a woman and what she does for women all over the world. I just feel that me and her did so much together in the past as far as me working with her school in South Africa. I feel like at the time when I would have needed a helping hand, not to boost my career but for her to reach out to talk to me and Rihanna and say ‘this is wrong..this is right.’ I’m not saying have me on the show. Just help, that’s all i was asking for. It was never a thing where it was like ‘Look I want to help these two young kids’ instead of putting the blame on just one person and bringing up 3 domestic violence guys who got a kick out of doing whatever..and then comparing them to me. I felt some way about it.”

You still mad about that Chris? I mean it could be worse!

While Oprah hasn’t reached out to help Breezy, he did acknowledge Will Smith and Diddy for offering to help. He also shouted out the couple who posted a YouTube video of their wedding party dancing into the ceremony to his song “Forever.” “That put me back on the map,” he said. After gaining popularity on the web, the NBC show The Office also did their own version of the “Forever” Wedding entrance.

Out of all the things that people have said about him and all the support he’s gotten in spite of what he did, it’s silly for Chris Brown to still feel some type of way about that one Oprah episode.  He needs to let it go and focus on his upcoming Fan Appreciation tour that kicks off November 15th, ’cause if his fans aren’t feeling his new music it’s really a wrap.

Gyant Unplugged TV – Episode 01 from Gyant UnpluggedTV on Vimeo.

Atlanta-based blogger Gyant interviewed with former Bad Boy artist turned tattle tell author Mark Curry about his recent book, Dancing With The Devil.

In the interview Curry discussed Diddy’s most recent rumor — he practices voodoo. Yeah, you read that right: People have been accusing Diddy of being one of the witches of Eastwick. Curry claims Diddy put voodoo on his artists to keep them under his control. Could this voodoo be a recording contract? I’ll let you decide.

Curry also chimed in on the age old rumor about Diddy enjoying the touch of a strong manly hand every now and then. But, as we you watch the video you notice Curry acknowledges that he’s never actually seen Diddy participate in penis play. He mumbles something how “gay is a lifestyle,” it’s reflective in the way you handle money…blah blah blah.

In other words: He never saw a damn thing, he’s only assuming.

Curry also rambles about Biggie being robbed by Diddy and proceeds to throw not-so-subtle hints that the pressures of fame led to deaths like those of Shakir Stewart. We appreciate that astute observation, but I think we all figured that out the first time we heard about it.

I blame Karrine Steffans for having so many people believe that if you stand two feet away from a A-list celebrity you have the right to write a book about it.

Perhaps it’s gotten old or maybe he’s realizing that you indeed can have too many child support checks to cut a month, but Diddy is getting tired of that groupie love.

He told Black Book magazine:

“I guess the things that used to thrill me don’t thrill me so much anymore. Intimacy is more important to me than sleeping with hot chicks. I don’t even know if I really savored every ménage a trios I had. I don’t want to do it all over again.”

But just because he’s smashed a girl on nearly every continent doesn’t mean he’s the expert on love (duh).

Puff Puff added:

“Love is something I strongly connect with, but it’s not something I’ve conquered. I really can’t sit here pretending to be the premier expert on love.”

Well Da Brat seems to be staying busy behind bars. According to BlackVoices she’s been setting up a talent show for the prison in Alto, Georgia that she’s currently serving time in. The talent show will have the same premise as Showtime at The Apollo only it will be called  “Showtime at Alto.” She’s even tapped her former DJ, DJ Nab, to send in music for the big show.

Da Brat was sentenced to three years behind bars, seven years of probation and 200 hours of community service for hitting a woman in the face with a rum bottle–a move that left the victim’s face permanently scared–at an ATL nightclub in 2007 (her mugshot from the night is above).

At least she’s still using her music industry experience, right? Although I’d hate to be the one judging the contest, least you get shanked for telling someone they can’t sing!

Diddy Throws the Duces

Diddy is leaving Warner Music Group for Interscope Records! Vibe exclusively reported that a source at Interscope said the Bad Boy releasing his upcoming album Last Train To Paris, under Interscope (that would be the label that originally housed his 90’s arch rival camp Death Row Records).

Paula Please!

Somebody’s salty!  Paula Abdul, tried to play Ellen DeGeneres on VH1 Divas and came out onto the stage impersonating the talk show host in a blond wig and pantsuit while dancing as she made her way to the stage. It wasn’t a Lil’ Mama/Kanye moment, but considering Ellen recently filled Paula’s spot on the American Idol judging table the whole thing just makes it seem like she’s hating. Either that or she had too many sips of her red cup again. Watch Paula embarrass herself below if you need to chuckle this weekend.

We’ll see you back next week!

I don’t want to be even meaner than the people who have already clowned her (hilariously, though), but is there something wrong with Lil’ Mama?

As in is she one piece short of a two piece dinner? Every entertainer knows that you never interrupt another performer’s act. That’s the ultimate sign of disrespect.

I’m not even an entertainer (unless you count me at Happy Hour) and I know that.

Yes, I get that she’s sorry and says she was caught up in the moment, but hopefully becoming the butt of everyone’s joke has taught her a valuable lesson: “Sit down.”

Adding to the joke on Lil’ Mama to prevent future jumps on stage is Diddy.

Take that, take that, Lil’ Mama.

Alright, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, is it time we forgive Lil’ Bow Wow’s twin and move on?

Haven’t we all learned by now that the IRS doesn’t play when it comes to getting their money (Exhibit A: Wesley Snipes and Ron Isley)?  Apparently not.

According to the Detroit News the state of California filed a $3,594,409 lien against Chris Tucker last week for four years worth of unpaid taxes!  No wonder we haven’t seen him around lately, he’s probably busy ducking the tax folks like their name was Big Worm.

Chris hit a career jackpot with the Rush Hour franchise pulling in $20 million a flick, so not really sure what the problem is but considering  the state of California is in a $31 billion debt crisis you know the “Governator” Arnold Schwarzenegger and his people will be back for those ends.

Diddy also owes the IRS back taxes, reports DrewReports.com, though his amount is much smaller at $7,373. Apparently back in 2007 Sean underpaid the federal tax for his Atlanta branch of Justin’s restaurant. Diddy’s people say that it was an address mishap and the IRS was mailing the business papers to an address that the producer hasn’t used in 10 years (right, because snail mail is the only way that the IRS gets in touch with folks?).  Diddy’s reps also say that when he found out about the debt he wrote a check for the amount which should be arriving to the IRS “shortly.” Until that check is signed, sealed, delivered and cashed (hopefully it’s not of the rubber variety), I’m sure the IRS won’t be too impressed with that statement.

Why do celebrities, think that they can escape paying taxes with some having the audacity to let the debt roll on for years (Exhibit B: Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown,  Method Man, Robin Givens, Xhibit, Ruben Studdard, Damon Dash, the list goes on)?  If you have time to brag about your bankroll, party about town, go on shopping sprees and vacations you have the time to dial up your accountant and settle your debt by April 15th.  Priorities people!

Daytime TV’s favorite fairy godmother is no longer the world’s most powerful celebrity. At least not in the eyes of Forbes who released its annual Celebrity 100 list, which ranks celebs on annual earnings and media buzz.

The star who knocked Oprah from her #1 spot of the past two years? Angelina Jolie. Jolie only racked in $27 million to the Big O’s $275 million (whoo! I’m trying to get that Oprah!) but according to the magazine the actress’ big film releases from last year and non-stop coverage of the birth of her twins and relationship with Brad Pitt (who came in at #9) pushed her to the top.

There list is full with lots of other great rich and famous faces: Beyonce maintained her #4 position from last year, although hubby Jay-Z plummeted from #7 last year to #32 this year. It’s time for that next album Hov! Luckily we’ve just heard that the Blueprint 3 is scheduled for release on September 11th.

Diddy hit the list at #35 and I’m fully anticipating a Tweet (then re-tweet) with a tinyurl of the news he made the list on his Twitter page. Kanye’s is probably somewhere throwing a tantrum because he only came in at #46, though he still came in before 50 Cent (who made it at, most appropriately, #50) which has to have Ye feeling even more smug after their 2007 record sale war.

Holding it down for the athletes: Tiger Woods came in at #5, Kobe Bryant at #10, Michael Jordan even made the list at #18 (forget the young bucks! Mike won’t ever be irrelevant!), and Lebron James snagged #19.

Midway on the list sits our President Barack Obama, which marks yet another first: the first sitting head of state to appear on the list. Not surprising at all! From his books being sold in trendy stores like Urban Outfitters, to his face on the cover of every magazine from Rolling Stone to Vibe, to his late night talk show appearances you can’t deny his celebrity!

Good to see so many great faces represented and judging by the salary reports on this list, it ain’t a recession for everybody!

See the complete list at Forbes.com. Do you agree with their ranking of celebrity?

Yung Joc hasn’t been happy these days. Yes, he’s probably racked up a lot of ringtone money after signing the GS Boys to his label, but he’s claiming he’s owed millions of dollars in back royalties.

That would have anyone pissed off. If you owe me enough money to buy a combo I might be inclined to curse you out, so I can only imagine what it’s like to be owed millions.

Yung Joc has already filed suit against Bad Boy, but he’s not stopping there. He’s about to start spilling secrets.

On his Twitter profile, Joc says he’s ready to play the outing game.

CANT WAIT TIL TUESDAY!!!! NIGG*Z IS GETTING AIRED THE F*CK OUT!! GO HARD OR GO HOME! 

FIND OUT WHOS F*CKIN AND S*CKIN WHO!! F*CKIN HOMO!!

As interesting as this seems on the surface, me thinks Joc is only going to be sort of outing staff members at Bad Boy.

If that’s the case, gay people working at the label is about as surprising as finding out Karrine Steffans likes giving head.

Oh, Cassie. We’re so embarassed for you.

In case Cassie isn’t on your Google Alerts, Diddy’s “artist” is back in the news again for something unflattering.

The 22-year-old singer says that laptop hackers are responsible for leaking some topless photos of her. Girl, stop.

‘It seems that someone has hacked into my computer…that’s real foul and evil… Now stop acting like you haven’t seen a t**ty before,’ she twittered after the photos got out there.

For all of us keeping count, folks are thinking that this is yet another ploy to get her name out there in the news and remind people that — wait for it — her new album comes out next month.

So there you have it. Cassie’s boobies are out there and yes, she has an album coming out in June. Nudity kinda worked for Kim Kardashian, so maybe you got next, girl.
