Chris Brown Apologizes For Hurtful Comments

UPDATE:

Chris Brown is feeling the effects/backlash from the hurtful comments he made yesterday during a twitter beef with Raz B. He released an apology to his fans today.


Via TMZ

Yesterday was an unfortunate lack in judgment sparked by public Twitter attacks from Raz B, who was bent on getting attention. Words cannot begin to express how sorry and frustrated I am over what transpired publicly on Twitter.
I have learned over the past few years to not condone or represent acts of violence against anyone. Molestation and victims of such acts are not to be taken lightly; and for my comments I apologize — from the bottom of my heart. I love all of my fans, gay and straight. I have friends from all walks of life and I am committed, with God’s help, to continue becoming a better person.

Tanisha also says other former “Bad Girls” will be bridesmaids and she hopes WEtv’s David Tutera will plan the big event.

VH1 TV Shows | Music Videos | Celebrity Photos | News & Gossip

Here is a clip of all the Basketball Wives ganging up on Gloria Govan as she has lunch with Suzi. The go in on her for thinking that her relationship with Matt Barnes is so great and they don't have problems. The wedding of Matt and Gloria was called off a few months ago due to drama. I think Gloria is deserving of the verbal reminder that her relationship is not perfect and she in no better position than any of them. What are you thoughts?

Nicole Murphy Blows $15 Million And Owes The IRS

Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife Nicole, who is currently engaged to former footballer Michael Strahan,  has burned through her $15 million divorce settlement. The NY Post reports the IRS has filed two liens against her for $210,957 and $3,731. She has also put her house up for sale for about $7 million. According to the National Enquirer:

“Nicole made some bad investments with the fortune she got from Eddie, and now she is in serious financial straits,” said a friend of the 42-year-old stunner.
Court records show that the IRS slapped Nicole with two liens for back taxes in November totaling $214,688.
That huge bill was on top of outstanding judgments against her for nearly $600,000 by a legal firm and another $60,000 demand for payment by a landscaping company. She also owes $5 million on her Los Angeles-area home.
“Nicole is overwhelmed by the mountain of debt she has piled up,” added the source. Nicole, who has five children with Eddie, invested in an Internet jewelry business, but the venture quickly failed and Nicole lost most of her money.” – Source

Seriously though, folks need to stop living beyond their means. Nicole may just be up a creek if Michael chooses not to assist her with her debt.

DMX Placed In Mental Health Unit In Arizona Jail

DMX has had some sort of breakdown behind bars because he was just moved to the mental health unit in the Alhambra lock-up in Phoenix, AZ. According to the Phoenix New Times:

Rapper Earl Simmons, better known as DMX, is housed in a mental-health unit at an Arizona State Prison Complex facility called Alhambra near 25th street and Van Buren.

DMX's manager, Nakia Walker, wouldn't comment specifically on whether DMX might have a mental disorder, but she says she wasn't surprised when he was moved to a mental-health unit. The rapper himself always has refused to comment on speculation about his mental state. In 2001, he threatened to beat up writer William Shaw for asking about it in a Blender magazine interview. "Waaaay too personal," DMX said.

Arizona Department of Corrections files confirm that DMX was admitted to the Flamenco Mental Health Unit at Alhambra on December 20. According to Walker, he will not be allowed to have visitors for 30 days.

This does not strike me as anything new because it seems as if DMX has been off his rocker for the past few years. Being on crack does not explain a lot of his bizarre behavior. I hope he gets the mental help that he needs while he's in the psych ward.

Teena Marie Dies At 54. R.I.P

Born Mary Christine Brockert in Santa Monica, California, the 54-year-old artist famously paired with late funk legend Rick James and was nominated four times for a Grammy Award.

She is an icon and her voice will greatly be missed. R.I.P.

Both Diamond And Lil Scrappy Lose Homes

ATL rappers Diamond and Lil Scrappy are straight posers. Diamond who's last single ironically was called  'Lotta Money' is doing nothing more than perpetrating. In October Diamond's Camero was famously repo'd off a video set and now comes word  she and her boyfriend ATL rapper Lil Scrappy both lost their homes to foreclosure. Worse part about these two fake flossers is that both houses were modestly priced and they're allegedly about to be evicted from their current pad for non payment of rents. Don't get me wrong, I like them but when will these rappers learn it's not what you can cop but what you can keep.

Former Bad Boy Artist G-Dep Confesses To Murder

Former Bad Boy artist G Dep just confessed to a 17 year old crime. Last Wednesday G Dep walked into a New York city police station and confessed to shooting John Henkel on October 19, 1993 during a botched robbery. Dep's intention was to clear his conscious. He had no idea the guy had died and that he was actually confessing to a murder. G Dep admitted,

"I started to wonder if all the bad things that happened to me in my life were karma for what I did... you start to think, My happiness is because of someone else's sadness." "I thought that if I turned myself in, it might give me closure... I'm just trying to get right with God." "I was surprised - for some reason, I really didn't think he died. When they (police) told me, I was like, 'Oh, I'm not going home after this.'"

All I can say is DAMN. Karma is a bitch. Here are the two hits he had while with Bad Boy Records.

Floyd Mayweather Was Arrested Last Week

Floyd Mayweather got arrested last week after a warrant was issued for his arrest for repeatedly jabbing a guy in the face. Mayweather was picked up Thursday night around midnight at a casino on the Las Vegas strip. He was released around 10am the next morning on his own recognizance.  By the way, this is his actual mugshot. SMH.
From the Las Vegas Journal

Floyd’s new charge could lead another justice of the peace to revoke Mayweather's bail on pending felony charges stemming from a Sept. 9 domestic violence incident involving his three children and their mother, Josie Harris. Mayweather, who is facing several felony charges, including felony coercion, grand larceny and robbery, is free on $31,000 bail in that case.
Since bail was set in that case, police have conducted two separate investigations into accusations made against Mayweather, including [the guy he poked in the face] Smith's.
Last month, Quincey Williams, a former Mayweather employee and one of two victims in the roller rink shooting, told police Mayweather tried to force his vehicle off Arville Road, near Spring Mountain Road. The incident remains under investigation.
