Chris Brown Image Rehab Tour Continues

Chris Brown is working overtime on cleanup duty. That applies to both community service, where he literally cleans up roads, and image rehabilitation, where he’s agreed to headline an all-star benefit. Dubbed “Virginia Stand Up! A Call to Action,” the event will take place May 15 at Virginia Commonwealth University and feature all-star performances. The recently-released T-Pain, Keri Hilson (who has been linked to Chris romantically), Trey Songz and Ryan Leslie, will perform, along with host Brown. More stars are expected to sign on in the coming days, with proceeds going to the Red Cross’ Haitian relief efforts and the Central Virginia Food Bank. “I wanted to find a way to contribute personally to the ongoing Haitian relief effort,” said Brown, who’s also spreading the word about the U.S. Census . “I also wanted to support an organization that helps people in need right here in my home state,” he added. “Everyone has to do their part.” That part extends beyond picking up garbage alongside I-95 … Chris Brown is working hard to clean up roads and reputations .

New Eclipse Novella to Be Released

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner who? If Eclipse supporting actress Jodelle Ferland draws strong reviews in this summer’s release, she may get a major movie vehicle of her own soon enough. That’s because Twilight saga author Stephenie Meyer is releasing an additional element of the vampire tale that just may bring the teen front and center. The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella is a 192-pager about the newborn who’s recruited for the army hunting down Bella and Edward. So no Taylor Lautner shirtless . But still, worth a read? An Eclipse novella hits stores in about two months. The story began as an exercise Meyer performed to explore the darker side of the battle in the third installment of her hit series, which grew into more. “I’d always considered The Short Life of Bree Tanner as something for the fans,” she said of the book, which hits shelves June 5 (25 days before Eclipse ). And, like you needed more incentive for additional Twilight material … A dollar from every book sold in the U.S. will go to American Red Cross International Response Funds to support disaster relief efforts in Haiti and Chile. That’s even sweeter than Edward and Bella in bed in that new clip!
