Quote Of The Day: Breezy Says He “Prays For Justin Bieber” And Feels Media Is Blaming Lil Twist Because “They’re Gonna Target The Little Black Boys Around Him”

Oh isn’t that ironic? Things have gotten so bad for Justin Bieber lately that even Chris Brown is praying for the kid. Via Page Six reports : In a sign that we might have entered some bizarre celebrity parallel universe, Chris Brown said that he’s praying for Justin Bieber. “I pray for him, I pray for myself. I think we both go through it because we’re great artists and he’s a big artist to his fans,” Brown told Power 105.1 . Brown continued on the radio show saying that he and the young singer have something else in common: their treatment in the media. When the R&B singer was asked about how he deals with the paparazzi, he said “It’s sorta like what Justin Bieber’s going through right now.” Brown, 23, also tried to explain why the 19-year-old pop sensation might be acting out. “Being young, having a limitless amount of income, whatever you wanna do as a young guy, and then at the same time, you don’t have nobody that’s gonna say, ‘Hey, bro, you look wack right now.’” Brown then credited his team for helping him change for the better. “For me, I had the people that said it and it got through eventually, but I think right now, his team is wonderful.” Brown, however, does not agree with how Bieber’s pal, Lil Twist, has been cast as a negative influence. “I feel like the mainstream media—and I don’t care, I ain’t in it, this my own thing I’m gonna say about it—I just feel like they’re gonna target the little black boys around him and say, ‘Hey, so this is why he’s doing it,’” Brown said. He added that if he was the one hanging out with Bieber, the blame would have been put on him. Breezy makes some good points but he still has a ways to go before he’s out of the woods himself. Riiiiight?

Airports consider congressman’s call to ditch TSA

ATLANTA (AP) — In a climate of Internet campaigns to shun airport pat-downs and veteran pilots suing over their treatment by government screeners, some airports are considering another way to show dissatisfaction: Ditching TSA agents altogether. Federal law allows airports to opt for screeners from the private sector instead. The push is being led by a powerful Florida congressman who's a longtime critic of the Transportation Security Administration and counts among his campaign contributors some of the companies who might take the TSA's place. Furor over airline passenger checks has grown as more airports have installed scanners that produce digital images of the body's contours, and the anger intensified when TSA added a more intrusive style of pat-down recently for those who opt out of the full-body scans. Some travelers are using the Internet to organize protests aimed at the busy travel days next week surrounding Thanksgiving. For Republican Rep. John Mica of Florida, the way to make travelers feel more comfortable would be to kick TSA employees out of their posts at the ends of the snaking security lines. This month, he wrote letters to nation's 100 busiest airports asking that they request private security guards instead. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hkv8DAy2qgKuuVCICy6HASaKlFFQ?d… added by: congoboy
