Tia Norfleet Lied About Being First African-American Female NASCAR Driver We were all proud when it was announced that Tia Norfleet was NASCAR’s first Africa-American female driver. It was a monumental moment. But now it’s all crashing down. The NY Times has revealed that Norfleet hasn’t actually accomplished anything she’s going around claiming she did. Apparently Norfleet isn’t even licensed to compete at any level and one raced one actual lap. Also, back in 2005 and 2009 she was arrested for assault and drug-related offenses. So while we were celebrating her ascent, it’s clear Norfleet is lying through her teeth. Oh well. At least we can enjoy her for the semi-banger she is. Maybe a reality show can be in her future.
Chris Brown does everything in his power to perpetuate the “angry black man” stereotype Chris Brown Screams “F Drake” During Performance At Hollywood Night Club Via E! Clearly Chris Brown and Drake have yet to make amends from their New York nightclub brawl last June. After attending a charity benefit at a Studio City, Calif., bowling alley on Wednesday night, Brown made his way to the Emerson Theatre in Hollywood. An eyewitness there tells E! News exclusively that around 1:20 a.m., Brown hopped up from his center table under the DJ booth and requested the mic to speak to the crowd. The DJ had Drake’s song, “Started from the Bottom,” cued up and Brown immediately told the DJ to stop playing the music. Addressing the crowd, Brown reportedly shouted out, “The DJ can play this s–t, but I want you all to know, F–k Drake!” and gave everyone the middle finger. Brown then proceeded to have the DJ cut the music again and began freestyle rapping, our source says. He began with a full performance of “As You Were” and followed with “Turn Up the Music.” What seemed to be a single performance turned into an all-out, full impromptu concert as he proceeded to sing “Beautiful People” and an additional five songs. Football star Reggie Bush even ran up on stage to take the mic, acting as Brown’s hype man. The eyewitness added that before and after his impromptu performance, Brown was seen dressed in a Miami Hurricanes baseball jersey, drinking Ace of Spades Rose and ordering vodka all night. At one point, he ordered six bottles of rosé, costing $10,000, which came out in a gold sailboat. Brown had it sent over to football legend Michael Irvin, who was at Emerson celebrating his birthday DJ Kayper was on the 1′s and 2′s while Chris was on stage and took to Twitter to voice her perspective on the situation. She is pure comedy! LMFAO! All jokes aside, we wish Chris and Drake could just get 5 minutes with each other, fight, and get it over with. This isht is starting to get real old…SMH Image via WENN
Not even 24 hours after reportedly fighting with bodyguard Big Pat and ditching him in Bermuda, Chris Brown turned his rage on a valet parking guy last night. It all went down at PINZ bowling alley in Studio City last night, where CB was attending a charity event with his posse. Sounds like a fun evening. Maybe it was, until he began cursing over a $10 valet parking charge. Chris Brown Gets Pissed at Valet After the valet made it clear he couldn’t release the singer’s ride without that extra amount, Chris his crew surrounded him. “F*ck ten dollars!” Brown said. Sources tell TMZ that Chris Brown was PISSED because he was only at the event for 30 minutes total and felt like he was getting ripped off by the valet. Someone in the singer’s posse said, “We got the money, don’t worry about it,” but Chris very much worried about it and seemed to threaten the valet. “We gonna turn this whole thing on out,” he said, whatever that means. Rihanna’s boyfriend ultimately got his keys and drove off without an actual fight breaking out; it’s unclear if he did in fact pay the “funk ass 10 dollars.” Never a dull moment in the world of Chris …
Uh oh. Sounds like Chris Brown is at it again. In Bermuda Wednesday, the singer reportedly got into an argument with longtime pal and bodyguard Big Pat aboard their private plane, which had stopped to refuel. An airport worker tells the Bermuda Sun : “I’m not sure of the details of what happened on the plane but his plane came in, got serviced and everything was finishing and they were getting ready to leave.” “Then there was a stall .” And then, according to the paper, Brown’s bodyguard (or “security guard”) exited the plane, followed by Brown and another man, after an altercation. “They had to come inside to customs,” the source continued. “The security guard came inside [an airport building] and said he wasn’t getting back on the plane.” He stayed true to his word. Chris Brown “went back through customs and the plane left,” while Big Pat reportedly hopped a flight back to JFK later. Big Pat, you may recall, was among those injured in the infamous W.i.P. club brawl between Chris, Drake, Meek Mill and their posses last year. No word on what caused the dispute or what it was about, but Rihanna ‘s boyfriend had been on a roll lately when it comes to positive, glowing press. All good things …
Are those wedding bells we hear for real? Lately it seems like every mention of Chris Brown in the press includes a quote that sounds like he couldn’t be closer to popping the question. Here’s the latest from the Daily Star : CHRIS Brown has given the biggest indication yet he will marry Rihanna saying their love is for “life”. The loved-up couple are rumoured to be planning a secret wedding ceremony in Barbados this summer. And although controversial Chris didn’t divulge plans to get down on one knee, he did tell me that he planned to spend the rest of his life with the Bajan pop babe. Chatting at Elton John’s Aids Foundation Oscars fundraising party, Chris told me: “I love her and she loves me. That is what it comes down to. “Our love is for life. We are meant to be together.” I told last week how of Rihanna had hired two of President Obama’s former secret service agents to protect her after being bombarded with death threats since getting back with Chris. The Don’t Judge Me singer has also upped security over his own death threat fears. But he refused to let their bitter backlash split them up adding: “We are stronger than ever.” Chrihanna Fo’ Life! Before y’all get too carried away with all these romantics, we gotta keep it a hunnit! These two are like a a gang — she been jumped in and and she ain’t gettin’ out!!! Seriously though… We hope this stays love and rainbows and not handcuffs and black and blues. Instagram
Does she have that bride-to-be glow? RihRih was snapped leaving her London hotel to head to the launch of her River Island clothing line. Here’s a shot of her at the launch. Something seems off about this one, but we can’t quite put our finger on what it is. Can you tell us? Hmmmmm… If you remember Rihanna’s initial debut of the line was trashed but maybe critics will be a little softer this time around since London Fashion week is over. In the meantime, those rumors of a wedding with Chris Brown aren’t going away. Another report emerged this week saying the singing pair are actually engaged. The March 11th issue of Star Magazine reports: After months of back and forth between the controversial couple, Rihanna and Chris Brown are officially engaged! The “Umbrella” singer, 25, who was photographed with Chris, 23, in Hawaii on Feb. 20 for her birthday celebration, is sporting a simple diamond band on her ring finger, and even uploaded an intimate photo of her and Chris to her Instagram account with the caption, “Like diamonds in the sky.” Her friends, however, aren’t buying it. “Chris still cheats on Rihanna,” says a source. “She just won’t admit it to herself.” Trouble is never far for the couple, who recently avoided each other at a Hollywood nightclub on Valentine’s Day. “He wasn’t into Rihanna that night,” says the pal. “Their relationship is toxic, but she’s over the moon.” Are you buying it? Hit the flip for more shots from the show…
Rihanna and Chris Brown are going to make it work. The singer seems very confident of this fact in her new Elle UK cover story, telling the magazine that her new single is symbolic of their relationship. “‘Stay’ is a story about having love that close and wanting it to last forever,” says Rihanna, who performed it live at the 2013 Grammy Awards. “You don’t have that feeling with everybody. You don’t want to let go of it. I would definitely say that [Brown] is the one I have that kind of relationship with.” Their level of devotion? Pretty high at this point. Rihanna and Chris Brown celebrated her 25th birthday in Hawaii last month, and she accompanied him and his mother to court a few weeks ago. They’ve also been remarkably open and candid about the controversial romance. Even Chris has said how deeply he regrets attacking her in 2009. He also said he’s been forgiven by her (but had to work hard for it), that they’re happy, and that Rihanna is the most beautiful girl in the world. In Elle UK , she’s almost as gushing in return. It’s “a great friendship that’s unbreakable” she says of her man. “Now that we’re adults, we can do this right. We got a fresh start, and I’m thankful for that.” Rihanna also predicts to Elle that she ” will have a kid ” five years from now, though first she wouldn’t mind a good month of vacation before that. “And [five years from now] I’ll have set some things up so I don’t have to tour the rest of my life, even though I love touring. I want health and happiness.” “I want to be healthy and happy in five years.” Seems like she’s on the right track right now. “Stay” may be a symbol of enduring love, but there are other symbols that have gotten her into hot water of late. Namely her controversial gun tattoo. Rihanna describes it as empowering. “Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No,” Rihanna reflects. “That’s why I got the gun. A symbol of strength. I’ll never be a victim .” And, while her mom recently “went crazy” on her in response to a couple of Rihanna nude photos online, she just can’t help herself on Instagram. That too, she says, is empowering. “I Instagram everything about my life, whether it’s smoking pot, in a strip club, reading a Bible verse – crazy, I know! – or hanging out with my best friend, who happens to be Chris.” “That’s why I’m posting pictures of myself smoking pot, to tell the truth about myself … I’ve got so much to think about, why bring all this extra s–t by being dishonest?” That, she will never be accused of being. Rihanna and Chris back together: Good for them! Love Rihanna and Chris together! I’m skeptical, but it’s their decision. Pathetic and just wrong! View Poll »
We’re not sure anymore whether Rihanna is doing a publicity tour for her album or her relationship with Chris Brown. Her latest meet with the press offers up yet another set of spectacular photographs along with some love crazy quotes about her boo thang Breezy. Here are some excerpts from Rih’s cover interview with ELLE Via NYDailyNews : The Barbadian beauty, 25, opened up in the April issue of Elle UK about how Brown inspired her new single “Stay,” and why she intends to keep him in her life, no matter what anyone else thinks. “‘Stay’ is a story about having love that close and wanting it to last forever,” the “Diamonds” singer explained to the magazine, on newsstand March 6. “You don’t have that feeling with everybody so when you have it you don’t want to let go of it. I would definitely say that he is the one I have that kind of relationship with,” she said of Brown. Though Brown, 23, and Rihanna have had a rocky past, the two rekindled their romance last year. Even with Brown’s recent outbursts, including a spat over a parking lot space with Frank Ocean, Rihanna feels that the two have wiped the slate clean from their violent past. “What we want [is] a great friendship that’s unbreakable,” the star noted. “Now that we’re adults we can do this right. We got a fresh start and I’m thankful for that.” Still, the star isn’t completely insulated from the pressures of fame and the criticism Brown has attracted in the media. She spoke to the magazine about the tattoo of a gun she had inked on her ankle just days after Brown and ex-boyfriend Drake got into a scuffle at a New York City nightclub. “Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No,” the songstress said. “That’s when I got the gun. It was a symbol of strength. I’ll never be a victim.” Being caught up in another controversy isn’t on Rihanna’s long-term agenda. In the not-so-distant future, the singer even hopes to start a family. When asked where she sees herself in five years, Rihanna said she imagines a more maternal role. “I will probably have a kid,” Rihanna said. “And I’ll have to set some things up so I don’t have to tour for the rest of my life, even though I love touring.” Before she starts painting the nursery, Rihanna might want to curtail her habit of putting up sultry photos on social media sites. But it doesn’t look like that will happen anytime soon. “I Instagram everything about my life, whether it’s smoking piff, in a skrip club, reading a Bible verse-how crazy, I know-or hanging with my best friend, who happens to be Chris,” Rihanna said. “I’m posting pictures of myself smoking piff to tell the truth about myself. I’ve got so much to think about, why bring all this extra s— by being dishonest?” she asked. Recent examples of her Instagram habit include what appeared to be a Valentine’s Day bouquet of what looked like kush plants and a shot of her in a skimpy bikini on her 25th birthday. But there’s still someone in Rihanna’s life that can get her to tone down her Instagram snaps: her mother. “I’m not afraid of any person in this world but her. I’m terrified of her!” Rihanna confessed. “She called me two days ago and reeled me in about two nekked pictures [my friend] Melissa put up on Instagram … My mom, she went crazy on me.” “I was, like, embarrassed. I felt like I got my a– whupped in front of my class in school!” Rihanna continued. “She said, ‘This was like a private moment and you’re just parading this around.’ She humbled the f— out of me.” Sounds like Mama still has some work to do though… Just sayin’. Do you think RihRih and Breezy talking so openly about their love is helping them or hurting them in the court of public opinion? We can tell you right now we’ve been getting emails from #TeamBreezy speculating homebody was better off with Karaoke. Then agan those could just could be a few disgruntled fans. Riiiiiiight? Hit the flip for more photos from the magazine.
