Chris Brown Postpones European Tour After U.K. Denies Work Visa

Singer’s troubles following his assault on Rihanna continue. By Gil Kaufman Chris Brown Photo: Jed Jacobsohn/ Getty Images Chris Brown was forced to cancel an upcoming European promotional tour after officials in England would not grant him a work visa. According to BBC News , the singer had to postpone the U.K. dates because he was denied permission to enter the country on the grounds of being guilty of a serious criminal offense. In a statement, the British Home Office explained, “We reserve the right to refuse entry to the U.K. to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offense. Public safety is one of our primary concerns. … Each application to enter the U.K. is considered on its individual merits.” Brown has struggled to get his career back on track following his guilty plea to felony assault stemming from his attack on former girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009. He was sentenced to 180 days of community labor, a year of domestic-abuse counseling and five years’ probation, which will end on August 25, 2014. During that period, the court has mandated that he must stay away from Rihanna. Brown was slated to perform three of his Fan Appreciation shows in the U.K. this week, starting with a gig in Glasgow on Wednesday night, followed by dates in London and Manchester and two others in Cork and Dublin, Ireland. The tour’s promoter, SJM, said the dates had been postponed “due to unforeseen circumstances,” though they advised ticket holders to keep their tickets as there could be “possible re-arranged dates.” The BBC reported that Brown had tweeted about the incident and confirmed the visa denial, but that the comments were later scrubbed from his feed. According to MTV U.K. , the original tweet read, “SORRY to all the fans in Europe! My tour is cancelled … I’m pretty sure y’all know. My entry was denied in your country. I love you. SORRY!!” An unidentified spokesperson for Brown added, “Due to issues surrounding his work visas, [the] Ireland and United Kingdom leg of Chris Brown’s Fan Appreciation Tour has been postponed … Chris looks forward to performing for his fans abroad in the near future and thanks them for their continued support.” A spokesperson for Brown could not be reached for comment at press time. On Monday, the singer tweeted , “U ever feel like the storm clouds are too thick for any sunshine to get through?” Related Photos Rihanna And Chris Brown: A Photo Timeline Related Artists Chris Brown Rihanna

Alanis Morissette Marries Rapper Souleye

Musicians tied the knot during a private ceremony in Los Angeles late last month. By Josh Wigler Alanis Morissette Photo: Getty Images Alanis Morrissette married rapper Mario “Souleye” Treadway during an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles on May 22. People reports that the ceremony was attended by family members and close friends. “So happy to share with you that my man Souleye and I got married,” Morissette later revealed on her Twitter page . “We’re very excited to embark on this journey with each other.” Morissette and Souleye married barely over a week before the “Jagged Little Pill” rocker’s 36th birthday on June 1. While it’s the first marriage for both musicians, Morissette was previously engaged to “The Proposal” star Ryan Reynolds. The two called off their wedding in 2007, though the singer’s 2004 comments on romance and love are certainly thoughtful given her recent nuptials. “I think for a long time, because of my compulsively wanting to be viewed as an

‘Twilight’ Star Robert Pattinson Feels ‘Agile’ With New Haircut

‘You feel like you’ve got a six-pack already, as soon as you cut your hair,’ the MTV Movie Awards winner says. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: MTV News About a week before the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , Robert Pattinson — a multiple nominee for his role in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” — got some very stern, profanity-laced advice about his hair from Hollywood “mega mogul”/ dance machine Les Grossman. The producer warned the actor, who was considering a shave and a wash for his usual bed-head, not to do anything different to his shaggy mane. “Your filthy hair made you a star,” Grossman raged at RPattz . “Your filthy hair made me hundreds of millions of dollars!” But it seems Pattinson didn’t much care for Grossman’s two cents, as he showed up Sunday night sporting a clean, freshly cut new ‘do. When MTV News caught up with the “Twilight” heartthrob backstage, we had to ask the Movie Award winner whether he felt any different with his short hair. Specifically, whether he’d lost any superpowers — like the ability to incite uncontrollable screaming or to inspire inexplicable, cross-generational obsession from teens, tweens and housewives — since taking clippers to his famously untamed mane. “No,” Pattinson said, humbly denying any superhero capabilities. “I feel so much better, so much better … It’s like having, I don’t know, I feel like I’m wearing two wigs most of the time. So yeah, I feel like agile and stuff. You feel like you’ve got a six-pack already, as soon as you cut your hair.” Maybe he’s gearing up to give muscled-up “Twilight” co-star Taylor Lautner some competition in the abs department?

T.I. Says He’ll Bring New ‘Insight’ To King Uncaged

‘I’m older. I’m wiser. I’m more mature,’ he tells MTV News on the Movie Awards red carpet. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Josh Horowitz T.I. Photo: Getty Images T.I. is feverishly at work on his forthcoming album, King Uncaged, his first collection of new music since finishing his federal prison sentence earlier this year for a 2007 gun rap. The Atlanta MC has rolled out two tracks, “I’m Back” and “Yeah Ya Know (Takers),” in addition to his recently released F— a Mixtape. After going through a challenging period in his life, with the death of his best friend and jail time, the rapper has a new perspective on things. “I’m older. I’m wiser. I’m more mature,” Tip told MTV News on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards , his first awards show since leaving prison . “I’m more patient. And I just take it as it comes.” So does that mean we’ll be seeing a more conscious Tip on his next project? “Nah, not at all,” he said. “I still feel like I have my edge. But I have some intellect and insight to go with it. I feed off of all my experiences, music-wise.” For now, T.I. continues to work on King Uncaged, slated for a late-summer release. He’s spent some time working with The-Dream for his album and for the singer’s next project. The-Dream told MTV News in April that Tip’s new material is impressive. “Tip is in a zone, man,” the singer said. “He’s in one of those things. But me just being a lyric guy, what makes songs, I think, hits is when it comes from the heart and you really are saying something you mean. And you can feel it through the passion.” Are you excited to hear T.I.’s next album? Let us know in the comments!

Katy Perry Was ‘Ready To Kick Ass’ At MTV Movie Awards

The ‘California Gurls’ singer also talks playing blue babe Smurfette in upcoming flick. By Larry Carroll Katy Perry poses in the press room at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards Photo: Getty Images While watching the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , viewers may have marveled at how beautiful and talented a performer Katy Perry is. What you may not have realized, however, is that it took a whole team to make her a Movie Awards sensation. And when we caught up with her on the red carpet, she was eager to thank everyone from her vocal team to her fianc

Russell Brand: I Knew It was a Concussion Or Love

Getty Images Russell Brand fell hard and fast for Katy Perry — so much so that he actually thought his feelings were because something was physically wrong. The comedian joked that on his first date with the singer he certainly didn't feel like himself, so it was either love or he was basically about to die. Turns out he just found the girl of his dreams. Isn't that the cutest? Katy and Russell (Bauer Griffin) He said: “I immediately knew that it was either concussion or love. After that we went on a date and I was anxious and nervous on the date. Normally like on the first date I’m alright because it’s like it used to be to me… the only date. But this one I felt all anxious like my mind was awash with hallucinogens – peculiar! I had to hold on to surfaces. I thought it was either something wrong with my starter or love. So now we can narrow it down to concussion or food poisoning or love.” The 34-year-old actor, famed for his womanizing ways, also revealed his mother Barbara was pleased he finally got engaged because she didn’t think he would ever walk down the aisle. He added in an interview on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno : My mum was beginning to wonder if I would ever become married unless it was in some kind of perhaps, Mormon style group wedding, to perhaps a group of cheerleaders. We went back to England to my mum’s house in Essex. She was very well behaved and helped with the dishes. There was a bit where my mum spilt some gravy and I thought, ‘That’s good isn’t it? Normal down to earth conduct.’

Miley Cyrus Makes Out with Dancer, Reaches New Low

We guess this is an example of your “art,” too, right, Miley Cyrus? A day after the singer said her raunchy antics were artistic, and lashed out at critics for just not getting it , she performed “Can’t Be Tamed” on Britain’s Got Talent and took the desperate, wholly unoriginal step of making out with a dancer in order to prove her edginess. First base is reached around the 1:15 mark below: Making Out Miley There’s little that can even be said about Miley’s transparent actions at this point. It’s fine for her to move beyond the Disney phase of her career, but there’s something to be said for subtlety and creativity. Dressing in skimpy outfits, singing about how hot you are and kissing back-up dancers has been done by everyone from Christina Aguilera to Britney Spears. It’s especially galling when Cyrus claims her songs and her style aren’t representative of typical, shallow pop music . That’s simply laughable. At least when Adam Lambert crossed a line at the 2009 AMAs, he came out and admitted it soon afterwards. Will Miley do the same? We somehow doubt it.

Adam Lambert is Seeking SYPB

If Adam Lambert were to place an online personal ad, he clearly would not be seeking a SWF with whom he could go on long beach walks. Instead, in an interview with Frontiers magazine, the singer makes it clear that he’s interested in a SYPB. What does that stand for? By the end of this article, you should be able to figure it out… On the pressure of being an openly gay musician : The thing I keep telling myself whenever the pressure starts looming is that I’ve been doing what I’ve always done, just on a larger scale now, so it’s not so bad! The opportunities that have come from American Idol are amazing. On current musical influences : I love a lot of the electronica stuff from the UK – Ive been gravitating toward that lately. I had my moment when I was all about the classic rock years back, but lately it’s more about pop-electro stuff. I love Goldfrapp, La Roux. And all of the American pop divas, of course: Gaga, Christina, Madonna, Rihanna. I love all of them. On the reception he’s received : At first I didn’t know if the gay community was really into this or not, what I’m doing. And then slowly but surely I was traveling internationally and domestically and met a lot of gay men and women who were really excited about what’s going on with my record and what I’m doing, and it feels really nice for my community to acknowledge it. Lambert was then asked if he’d rather sleep with Ryan Seacrest or Simon Cowell, a hilarious question. His response: Ew. Neither one of them is my type at all. They’re both too old for me. I like pretty boys in their early-to-mid twenties. Make sure you print that. We’ve done so, Adam. Single, Young, Pretty Boys, consider yourselves lucky!
