Rihanna’s Dad Says He’s Still Chris Brown’s “Number One Fan”
Some Feminists Are Upset About The Onion’s Piece On Chris Brown Beating Rihanna To Death
Yesterday, we, and many, many others, breathed a sigh of relief when Chris Brown told a radio station that he and Rihanna had once again broken up. (They’re both too young for him to be “wife”-ing her, he said.) Humor site The Onion did their spin on the story today, penning the story “Heartbroken Chris Brown Always Thought Rihanna Was Woman He’d Beat To Death,” in which Brown (obviously, not really Brown) laments he’ll never get to murder her in a domestic violence incident. Here’s a sample:
After revealing yesterday that he had recently split up with longtime girlfriend Rihanna, a heartbroken Chris Brown tearfully told reporters that he always thought the 25-year-old singer was going to be the woman he’d beat to death one day. “Despite all the ups and downs, I was so sure Rihanna was the one I’d take by the throat one day and fatally assault, and even toward the end I continued to hold out hope that we’d be together until the day she died at my hands from blunt-force trauma,” Brown, 24, said in a radio interview this week, telling DJs he still has abusive feelings for his ex-flame and is hopeful that he might punch her again one day.
Simply, I thought the piece was cringe-inducingly hilarious — it’s supposed to make you viscerally uncomfortable about how far domestic violence can go. Not everyone agrees, instead seeing it as mocking violence against women of color. Keep reading »

“It’s unfortunate because he’s a great guy, he just has stupid advisors around him.”
This is Reebok CEO Uli Becker, as tweeted by Footwear News, speaking about the rapper Rick Ross. Amongst Ross’ “great guy” credentials? Rapping in a song by Rocko the following lyrics about drugging and raping a woman: “Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it.” When critics decried his rapey lyrics and he got dropped by at least one radio station, Ross called the whole thing a “misinterpretation” because he never said the word “rape.” (Ross also added he wants all the “sexy ladies, the beautiful ladies” to know rape is bad.) After getting dropped as a Reebok spokesperson, two weeks after the initial kerfluffle, he finally issued an apology, calling rape a “crime” and “wrong.”
I was reminded of Rick Ross just yesterday when I read about Constable Jason Peacock, a veteran Toronto police officer who was found guilty of assaulting his then-girlfriend and damaging her home. On Christmas Eve morning 2010, Peacock showed up unannounced at her place and refused to leave; he punched holes in her walls, smashed glasses, overturned her kitchen island, and shook her hard by the shoulders. In her statement, his then-girlfriend wrote, “There was a period where I thought he was going to kill me.” The judge who sentenced Peacock to 100 community service and $4,300 in restitution fees called the officer “a good man who, but for his involvement with [the ex-girlfriend], led not only an unblemished by exemplary life.”
Or what about the late Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, who was defended by John Thompson, Jr., a former Georgetown coach, as a “good man” who did “something that he maybe would be sorry about.” That “something” that Paterno should “maybe” be sorry about was allowing child rape to happen.
Let me be the first (apparently) to tell you, guys. You are not good men. Keep reading »
Apparently, People Dislike Justin Bieber More Than Taylor Swift And Chris Brown
Sorry, Beliebers! Not everyone is as stoked about Justin Bieber as you guys are. In a recent poll by Star Magazine, they ranked Justin as the eighth most irritating celebrity above both Taylor Swift and Chris Brown. Dang! Above Chris Brown, last we checked, Biebs hadn’t been arrested for hitting his girlfriend. But we digress…
Bieber was actually not the highest ranked pop star on the list. Somewhat surprisingly, Jennifer Lopezcame in third on the list with John Mayer following at No. 4. Now, we get that John is a noted womanizer, so we can understand his position, but what did J. Lo do to land at No. 3? We guess her diva-tastic persona is too much for some people! Madonna also ranked ahead of Justin Bieber, coming in at No. 7, presumably because she is rude to her fans for giving her hydrangeas. Read more on Pop Crush…
Did A Mystery Blonde Come Between Chris Brown & Rihanna?
There is a mystery blonde who is now being tagged as a homewrecker – actually just the catalyst in the latest supposed Chris Brown and Rihanna breakup. She insists she is not fooling around with Breezy because she doesn’t date black guys.
Keisha Kimball, 22, works at the Playhouse nightclub in Los Angeles and a photo of her holding onto Breezy’s hand on Saturday night (April 6) was splashed online and her new status as the reason for a ChRihanna split was cemented. Read more on PopCrush…

Rihanna Wants A Baby With Chris Brown
Rihanna has revealed that she wants to have children with her on-again boyfriend Chris Brown. In a recent interview with ELLE UK, the 25-year-old talks about her troubled and controversial relationship with Chris and her wish to have a baby five years down the line.
The “Diamonds” singer told the mag that she and Brown have a “fresh start”:
“I will probably have a kid. And I’m praying I can go on vacation for a good month,” she says in the interview. “And I’ll have set some things up so I don’t have to tour for the rest of my life, even though I love touring. I want health and happiness in five years. I want to be healthy and happy.”
“Law & Order: SVU” Is Doing A Chris Brown And Rihanna-Inspired Edisode
“Law & Order” is notorious for ripping its plots from the headlines, so I’m sort of surprised it took the show this long to do an episode inspired by Chris Brown and Rihanna’s abusive relationship. In the episode airing next week, “a promising singer is brutally attacked by her boyfriend, a popular hip hop star,” but she refuses to aid the police or the prosecution in their case against him. But, twist! He suddenly turns up dead … so, who’s the killer? Dun-dun! Promo above.
