Chris Brown: Arrested For Gun Possession at BET Awards?

Following Sunday night’s BET Awards, rumors were running rampant that Chris Brown was arrested backstage for illegally possessing a firearm. Speculation surfaced that the R&B star was going to great lengths to protecting himself against possible retaliation from Drake and Meek Mill. In the wake of the Chris Brown-Drake fight last month, and given that we’re dealing with Chris Brown in general, it didn’t seem far fetched. But it’s not true. Brown, who was among the BET Awards winners last night, was out and about celebrating last night, completely arrest- and controversy-free. A rep for the singer also confirms there was no altercation of any kind Sunday. Incidentally, Drake wasn’t at the show, and Meek Mill, who was also involved in the NYC nightclub brawl, was not at the BET after party with Chris. Consider the rumor debunked, and chalk it up to the crazy Twitterverse. In other, less controversial Brown news, he Tweeted condolences to his ex this weekend after Rihanna’s grandmother died . That was nice of him.

PETA Rips Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen Over $17K Fur Backpacks

PETA is ripping fashion designer duo Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for using animal pelts to create their latest backpack, which retails for around $17,000. That’s not a typo. “What the Olsens lack in creativity, they try to make up for with shock value,” the animal rights group said in a statement regarding the pricey accessory. PETA protesters (seen here in 2008) have gone after the Olsen Twins for years . The backpack is a patchwork design made of various animal furs, a fact that has PETA livid with the twosome to the point of bitter name-calling. “If it looks like a troll and acts like a troll, it’s probably a Trollsen Twin – or somebody wearing one of their new totes,” the group continues. PETA calls on consumers not to purchase the products “which are made from the fur and skins of innocent animals” or anything by the Olsens. Ashley Olsen and Mary Kate Olsen, who jointly run The Row, captured the Womenswear Designer of the Year honors at the CFDA Fashion Awards in June. They should probably be on the lookout for paint can assaults. [Photo: WENN.com]
