Estelle: “Why Are People Still Crucifying Chris Brown?”

Continue reading here:

Estelle’s new single “International” featuring Chris Brown and Trey Songz has some people wondering why she would do a collabo with a convicted woman beater. In a recent interview with Vibe Magazine, Estelle defended  Chris Brown suggesting that people should stop judging him. In the interview, Estelle said: “I try not to judge because I’ve been judged a heck of a lot, and it don’t feel nice. I feel like Chris is an incredible singer, musician, dancer, entertainer, and brain box as far as business and that’s why I respect him and that’s where we meet at because I have nothing else to go on.” “We don’t hang out in the club, I love him as a person and as a brother, as peoples,” says Estelle. “I get it, I understand, and I get the effects for young women. I can’t speak on it because I wasn’t there.” Do you think its time we forgive and move on? Source: Vibe.com

Rihanna Says Chris Brown Is The Hottest R&B Singer Out

See original here:

In a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, Rihanna explained why she chose to record the “Birthday Cake (remix)” with ex Chris Brown, who assaulted her in 2009. Rihanna recalls beginning the collaboration process saying: “The first song that came about was ‘Birthday Cake.’ I mean we ended up recording them at the same time and executing them together, but I reached out to him about doing ‘Birthday Cake’ because that’s the only person that really–it made sense to do the record. Just as a musician despite everything else that was going to be the person. You know I thought about rappers, and I’ve done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown. So I wanted him on the track, and then in turn he was like ‘Why don’t you do the remix to my track?’ and it was a trade off. We did two records. One for my fans. One for his fans, and that way our fans can come together. There shouldn’t be a divide. You know? It’s music, and it’s innocent.”

Cissy Houston Confronts Culprit Who Took Photo Of Whitney In Casket

See the rest here:

The Chicago Suntimes is reporting that Whitney Houston’s mother Cissy has confronted the person who snapped the photo of Whitney in her final resting place. A Houston family insider says that Cissy, “had a come-to-Jesus moment” with the guilty culprit and demanded the alleged six-figure fee for the photo be donated to charity. As she should! Whoever was selfishly evil enough to take a photo of the late Whitney Houston with the intention of selling it to trashy tabloid deserves far more punishment than having to donate their profit. What do you think about Cissy confronting the person that took the photo? Who do you think took it?
