Chris Brown Performance Ends in Audience Member Stabbing, No One Surprised

A Chris Brown performance last night ended in someone getting stabbed, and if we ask for a show of hands asking who’s surprised … we don’t expect to see a lot of hands. Law enforcement sources say it’s yet another case of trouble following the R&B singer and his entourage, and that police have been trying to stop this (to no avail). The stabbing took place right after Brown finished his set at a YMCMB Drake-Lil Wayne after-party at Supperclub in Hollywood, according to witnesses and reports. Several people leaving got into a fight and someone got stabbed. The victim, whose identity is not known, was taken to a hospital and is expected to be okay. Not unlike when Suge Knight was shot in last month’s possible pre-VMA assassination attempt on Chris Brown , no arrests were made, for a simple reason: No one is coming forward to point any fingers or spill the beans. Police, understandably, are increasingly frustrated by Brown’s entourage, telling TMZ that wherever the singer and his posse go, ” someone ends up bleeding .” 25 Pics of Chris Brown Thuggin’ It! 1. Chris Brown Smoking Weed Chris Brown smoking weed – 3 joints at the same time no less. What a class act as always. “When Brown and his people show, we know what’s going to happen. It’s a headache for us,” one law enforcement team member reportedly said. The LAPD has privately met with club owners around the city, to pressure them into blacklisting Chris and his crew in an attempt to curb the violence preemptively. Perhaps not shockingly, the clubs are still having Chris Brown perform as planned; they make too much coin off the singer, so his peeps are totes welcome. The singer throws around Bloods gang signs and does not keep his affiliation with the street thugs a secret, though he has not been accused of instigating violence. Not directly, anyway. Police believe it “emanates” from Chris and the shady characters who hang around him, and fear this may soon end very badly for someone. But hey … at least he and Drake have quashed the beef.

Racist And Sexist Or Nah? “Scary Bi***” Ads For New Octavia Spencer Show “Red Band Society” Yanked From City Buses After Public Outcry

Oooh they so sensitive ! Fox TV Show Ads Removed From Buses Over Complaints Of Racism And Sexism A number of ads featuring Octavia Spencer’s face next to the words “Scary B***h” had to be removed from L.A. buses this week after complaints they were racist AND sexist. Via Los Angeles Times reports : An advertisement for the new Fox television show “Red Band Society” was abruptly pulled from Los Angeles Metro buses Thursday after activists complained it was racist and offensive. The ads for the series that premiered this week show actress Octavia Spencer next to the words “Scary Bi**h.” Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Mark Littman said the agency decided to remove the ad because that label “denigrates women.” “That speaks for itself,” Littman said. “That was not acceptable.” The ads, which have been up for five weeks, will be removed from 190 Metro buses as soon as possible, said Metro spokesman Dave Sotero. The announcement was made Thursday at a Metro committee meeting where a few dozen protesters showed up to speak against the ads. Among them was Jasmyne Cannick, who said the nickname perpetuates negative stereotypes about black women. “I don’t know if I find it more offensive because I’m black, or more offensive because I’m a woman,” said Cannick, 36. “I sometimes think our city forgets that there are black people that still live here and call Los Angeles home.” A Fox spokeswoman said in a statement that network executives were notified Thursday morning of the concerns around the ads and “immediately offered to remove the language.” “Metro Los Angeles ultimately decided to take down the ads, and we respect that decision,” the spokeswoman said. “We sincerely apologize if the copy was offensive to viewers.” Do you think it was a legit complaint or are people overreacting?

Lady Gaga Wears Indian Garb in Arab Countries, Pisses Everyone Off

You probably haven’t thought about Lady Gaga in a while, and the First Lady of Shock Pop is all too aware of that fact. Gaga’s act has been stale for years now, and she’s being consistently out-weirded by the Miley Cyruses of the world. So to get back in the spotlight, the Mother Monster headed to the part of the world that seems to be getting all of the attention these days – the Middle East! No, Gaga’s not collaborating with ISIS on her new music video, but she is continuing to outrage the Middle Eastern fans (and the rest of the world) with her awkward attempts at cultural appropriation: That’s Gaga wearing her idea of traditional Indian garb in the desert while on tour in the United Arab Emirates. We’d point out that UAE is about 1,600 miles from India, but we doubt Gaga cares. After all, this isn’t the first time she’s pissed off fans in that part of the world recently: Earlier this month, Gaga angered Arab fans when she uploaded a video in which she addressed the city of Tel Aviv using a traditional Jewish greeting.  Prior to that, she pissed off humans in general when she draped her dog in jewelry and posted photos of it to Instagram. Some thought the pics constituted animal cruelty, while some of us are just getting bored with Gaga’s constant bids for attention. Relive some of her most desperate moments in the gallery below: 39 WTF? Lady Gaga Photos 1. That’s Lady Gaga For You Seriously. That’s Lady Gaga summed up in one photo basically.

CORE Civil Rights Activist George Holmes Has Passed Away

We’re mourning the death of another black leader . George Holmes Executive Director And CEO Of Congress of Racial Equality Dead At 63 George Holmes, who can be seen in the photo above on the left, being arrested alongside Al Sharpton as they protested fare hikes in NYC back in 1984, has passed away. According to NY Daily News reports: Civil rights activist George Holmes has died, his family announced Friday. He was 63. Holmes, who died Aug. 16 of undisclosed causes, served as executive director and CEO of the Congress of Racial Equality. Born in Roxbury, Mass., Holmes was raised in Harlem and liked to joke that he attended college at U.C.L.A. — University on the Corner of Lenox Ave. His activism began in the early 60s when he entered Brooklyn Tech, one of the city’s elite high schools. It had 47 black students, and no black teachers or black scholastic clubs — until Holmes founded one. He worked at Macy’s, Bank of New York and the Postal Service before joining CORE in 1974. Holmes is survived by his wife of 26 years, Donna, children Louanna Rosado and Dakar Holmes, siblings Joy Copeland, Larry Holmes, Marie Wynne and France Barron, grandchildren Parris Hill, Xiamara Rosado and Sierra Rosado and a host of nieces and nephews and other family. For information about funeral services, please call (347) 509-6577. We are sad to learn of Holmes’ death. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. It seems kind of odd that it took almost three weeks to announce his death. Wonder what that’s about. AP Images

For Your Information: Shady Ferguson Cops Wearing Body Cameras Now “To Catch Protesters Taunting Police”

Now we can see how these muhfuggas REALLY get down Ferguson Police Now Wear Body Cameras Via FOXNews Police officers in Ferguson, Mo., which became a flashpoint for protests following the fatal shooting of a black teenager by a white police officer just over three weeks ago, have begun using body cameras. Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that approximately 50 cameras were donated by two companies, Safety Visions and Digital Ally, last week. Officers had the devices on during a protest march Saturday and captured what Jackson said were high-quality images of demonstrators taunting police. Jackson said that the cameras were being assigned to the city’s police squads and each officer would get one to use. Representatives from the two companies had visited the police department earlier Saturday to train officers on how to use the cameras. “They are really enjoying them,” Jackson said. “They are trying to get used to using them.” Support for officers wearing outward-facing cameras has increased since the August 9 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. Last week, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., suggested that police departments should require officers to wear body cameras in order to receive federal funding. McCaskill, like other supporters of the cameras, said that footage could help determine whether an officer was being wrongfully accused of misconduct by a civilian. “Everywhere I go people now have cameras,” McCaskill said. “And police officers are now at a disadvantage, because someone can tape the last part of an encounter and not tape the first part of the encounter. And it gives the impression that the police officer has overreacted when they haven’t.” SMFH. Best believe we want to see everything these pigs do as much as they want to catch black people “taunting” them.

Kevin Sorbo: Ferguson Protesters Using Michael Brown as Excuse to Be Losers!

Former Hercules star Kevin Sorbo unleashed a Herculean rant on Facebook about the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, following the death of Michael Brown. “Ferguson riots have very little to do with the shooting of the young man,” Kevin begins, positing, “It is an excuse to be the losers these animals truly are.” Certainly cuts to the chase. The 55-year-old actor and oustpoken conservative, said the Ferguson unrest signifies “a tipping point to frustration built up over years of not trying.” Instead of working to improve their lot in life, Sorbo believes, the people protesting in the city are “blaming everyone else, The Man, for their failures.” Then he adds this barb: “Hopefully this is a reminder to African Americans (I always thought we just Americans. Oh, well.) that the President [they] voted in has only made things worse for them, not better.” Sorbo then shared on his Facebook page an article from the Jewish World Review about Ferguson, entitled, “Media Clueless About the Inner City.” This piece also opines that the death of Michael Brown is just the tip of the iceberg here, but lays the blame at the feet of the media as well as protestors. “Want the riots to end in Ferguson?” asks the author. “Ban the media who are nothing more than agitators promoting the circus environment and inciting outsiders to join in the frenzy.” “Don´t forget the media putting out the cop’s name , photo and home information. I hear he is forced to leave the community by this – victimized a second time!” “The media promotes chaos to boost pathetic ratings. We should shut them all off and watch clips on the internet only when republished under fair use by a conservative media watchdog.” What do you think of Sorbo’s comments – and those of the article whose views he clearly shares – on the events playing out in Ferguson?
