New Direction? Chris Brown Pens Open Letter On Instagram! Could Chris Brown be turning over a new leaf? The open letter the singer posted on Instagram seems…
Chris Brown has some serious baby mama drama. Nia Guzman is apparently hitting Brown up for more child support for their daughter, Royalty. Brown and Guzman seemed to have a mostly amicable relationship for a while. But when Guzman asked for more child support money, Chris Brown wasn’t entirely pleased. Chris doesn’t have a problem giving more money for Royalty. But he is concerned the extra money will fund Nia and her boyfriend. So Chris thinks it is time Nia gets a j.o.b. An insider told Hollywood Life that “[Chris] knows that she has bills to pay out there in Texas and that’s why he sends her money even when Royalty’s with him.” “What he’s not going to do,” the source continued, “is send his hard earned money to Nia so she can buy clothes and take care of her lazy boyfriend!” Chris was giving Nia $2,500 a month in March. But apparently, Nia demanded more—$13,000 more a month. As in $15,000 a month instead! Since her request, Chris and Nia have been battling it out. “Chris doesn’t feel like he needs to give Nia every cent of the $2,500 when Royalty’s with him and [his mother],” a source said. “To him, that doesn’t make sense. If Chris has her for a month or so, there’s no need to give Nia all that money.” For all of Chris Brown’s many, many flaws, he seems to be a good father. For the past two months, he has been spending “virtually all his time with Royalty,” a source said. He even brought her to the Billboard Music Awards. It doesn’t sound like Chris is paying up the extra money to Nia yet. But he does sound willing to give extra money if it goes toward raising Royalty. But Chris wants Nia to pitch in with “a regular, steady income,” sources claimed. Really, this doesn’t sound unreasonable. Surprisingly, Chris Brown has made some decent decisions as of late. Chris Brown and Tyson Beckford were fighting over Karrueche Tran, but the two have cooled things down. After Tyson and Chris exchanged some heated tweets and photos, Chris took ahold of the situation with an apology. “No drama!” Chris tweeted. “People are really starting to make this s—t an issue. I can be a real one and say that I was wrong for even pressing an issue.” View Slideshow: Chris Brown and Royalty: Father-Daughter Photos
Iyanla Vanzant Heads To Baltimore To Fix The City OWN Network Host Iyanla Vanzant is coming to Baltimore this week to host a “healing service” for the city. Yes, the same woman who couldn’t help Karrueche Tran is going to try and fix Baltimore. Welp. Via Baltimore Sun : The host of “Iyanla: Fix My Life” will tape three sessions this week at West Baltimore’s Empowerment Temple, the church announced. The people are in pain and need a way to get through it,” Empowerment Temple pastor Rev. Jamal Harrison Bryant said Tuesday. The death of Freddie Gray — the 25-year-old West Baltimore man who suffered a severe spinal cord injury in police custody — “pulled off the Bandaid for something that required open heart surgery,” Bryant said. He hopes the event will be a sort of group therapy for people to discuss economic oppression and violence, among other issues. Vanzant, an Upper Marlboro resident, volunteered to host the sessions, Bryant said. Tuesday’s event will focus on men, Wednesday’s on women and Thursday’s on the community. Each session will begin at 7 p.m. and will be taped for a podcast, although not aired on Vanzant’s show. Vanzant was a frequent guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show before launching her show on the OWN network. Each episode focuses on fixing a person’s problem — often a family dispute or a relationship conflict. Bryant has joined in many rallies and marches in the weeks following the death of Gray. He led a march that shut down traffic on Interstate 395 Tuesday morning to protest Gov. Larry Hogan’s decision to fund a $30 million youth jail while cutting funding for city schools. Do you think Iyanlya is really trying to help the city of Baltimore or just attention sloring for ratings? Hit the flip for more reactions to her trying to “fix” Baltimore next…
Sam Shepard, an actor and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright most recently seen in the Netflix drama Bloodline, was arrested on suspicious of drunk driving Monday. After being pulled over in Santa Fe, the 71-year-old told a police officer that he had two drinks of tequila and was on his way home. “Our officer could smell alcohol on his breath, and he had bloodshot, watery eyes,” Santa Fe police Lt. Andrea Dobyns said. She added that Shepherd refused to take a breath test, yet he did perform a field sobriety test, which he failed. Shepard was arrested on a charge of aggravated driving while intoxicated outside La Choza restaurant in downtown and released on bond Tuesday afternoon. Watch the above video for more.
Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown’s ex-girlfriend, posted a photo of her bloody lip online, and the conclusion you just jumped to has his fans up in arms. Tran offered no explanation or context, just the caption “Rough day in Chicago.” Was Chris Brown in Chicago?! No doubt thousands of fans asked that question in jest, or not in jest, or at least thought it briefly to themselves. We later learned that Tran’s “injury” was merely make-up applied as part of a video shoot, in which the model portrayed a “street fighter” type. But Chris’ fans were furious, believing she posted the picture and caption knowing the media would run with the story in exactly this fashion. Chris assaulted former girlfriend Rihanna in 2009; Karrueche split with Chris this March this year, after it was revealed he’d fathered a child. With Nia Amey-Guzman . A year ago. While they were together. Last weekend, Karrueche-Chris drama was off the hook for different reasons as the R&B star got into a major beef with Tyson Beckford . The 44-year-old model shared a seemingly nice selfie of himself with Tran, writing: “Saturday with @Karrueche #vegas #palms #blasian.” View Slideshow: Karrueche Tran: (Ex?) Chris Brown Plaything The following day, Chris tweeted: “Be in Vegas soon. Keep playing imma f–k ya baby momma and then whoop yo child like he mine.” Brown also took this shot at Tyson: “U wanna keep walking them runways. I need ta legs for that. Keep playing like I ain’t wit the bulls–t.” Then a few hours later, in an apparent response, Tyson, 44, shared a video on his Instagram account of himself shooting an AR15. The caption? “Just in case you forgot!” Then, goading Chris, he added: “@officialchrisbrown it’s all about fun in vegas. Come thru papa.” The threats continued until Brown uncharacteristically called it off, writing “No drama! People are really starting to make this s–t an issue.” “I can be a real one and say that I was wrong for even pressing an issue,” the 26-year-old Grammy winner added. “I can be a man about it.” There’s a first time for everything.
