Did Chris Brown's Girlfriend Have Sex With Drake? 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  CHRIS BROWN and KARRUECHE TRAN have broken up, and they went at each other on Instagram this weekend.  Chris actually accused Karrueche of not visiting him in jail and going out with DRAKE.  Karrueche replied, quote, "I refuse to be repeatedly mistreated especially by someone who claims to love me."

 

 

FULL STORY:  CHRIS BROWN and his hot Asian girlfriend KARRUECHE TRAN have broken up for about the 50th time, but this particular split has an added dimension . . . with Chris accusing Karrueche of hooking up with DRAKE.

 

 

It all started Friday night when Chris announced during a gig that he's SINGLE.  He added, quote, "[Eff] that [B-word]."

 

 

On Saturday, Karrueche posted an inspirational quote on Instagram on how to deal when "something bad happens."

 

 

In the very long caption, she said, quote, "I refuse to be repeatedly mistreated especially by someone who claims to love me.  That's not love.  And if that's what you define as love then I don't want it."

 

 

(You can't view it at the moment, because her account has been DISABLED.  She didn't do it though.  Apparently someone reported her as an impersonator, so Instagram blocked the page while they sort it out.)

 

 

Chris posted a response, which he later removed.  But it said, quote, "I was locked up for damn near 4 months and only got 1 visit from you while u was hosting parties and taking secret trips to Toronto, going on dates with Drake!"

 

 

Then he revealed THIS about their past . . . quote, "When this relationship first started u knew what it was and even participated in threesomes.  I slowed all that [stuff] down."  (Check out their posts here.)

Kirk Cameron's "Saving Christmas" is the Worst-Rated Movie on IMDB 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  KIRK CAMERON tried to rally his fans to get his new movie "Saving Christmas" a higher Internet rating.  But the trolls came out and sabotaged his plan.  The movie now has a 32% rating on RottenTomatoes.com, and is the worst-rated movie on IMBD.com, with a 1.5 out of 10.

 

 

FULL STORY:  Last week, KIRK CAMERON tried to rally the troops around his new movie "Saving Christmas".  You see, with 12 professional reviews in, the movie has a ZERO rating on RottenTomatoes.com.

 

 

So he asked his fans to flood the site with positive reviews, in order to get the "Audience Score" as high as possible.  But it had the OPPOSITE effect.  Because all the trolls came out and trashed it.  Now it has an audience score of 32%.

 

 

But that's not the worst of it.  They also sabotaged the movie on the Internet Movie Database, making it the LOWEST-RATED MOVIE on the whole site.  It currently has a user rating of 1.5 out of 10.

 

 

In order to even be on IMDB's Bottom 100, a movie has to have at least 1,500 user ratings.  So it stands to reason that tons of people are giving this thing terrible reviews without even having seen it.

 

 

Movies with a higher rating than "Saving Christmas" include "Birdemic:  Shock and Terror", the Paris Hilton movie "The Hottie and the Nottie", "Manos:  The Hands of Fate", the "American Idol" disaster "From Justin to Kelly" . . .

 

 

Mariah Carey's "Glitter", "Gigli", Bill Cosby's "Leonard Part 6" and the 1964 cinematic masterpiece known as "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies".

"Peter Pan Live" Got Half the Viewers of "The Sound of Music" 

 

 

Last week's "Peter Pan Live" special averaged 9.1 million viewers . . . less than HALF the 18.6 million who tuned in for last year's "Sound of Music" live special starring CARRIE UNDERWOOD.

 

 

But "Peter Pan" did generate more Tweets than "Sound of Music" . . . 475,000 to 450,000.  And NBC says it's looking forward to next year's production, "The Music Man".

 

 

Reviews of "Peter Pan" were mixed, but some people absolutely HATED it.  And one writer from TheAtlantic.com says the show was never intended to be enjoyed in the first place.  It was cynically created to generate social media buzz.

 

 

 

 

 

Check Out "Saturday Night Live's" Amazing "Star Wars" Parody 

 

 

"Saturday Night Live" did a great parody of the upcoming "Star Wars" movie . . . busting on the fact that everybody coming back from the original trilogy is OLD.

 

 

James Franco plays Luke, Taran Killam is Han Solo, Bobby Moynihan is Princess Leia and Kenan Thompson almost steals the show with a brief appearance as Lando Calrissian.

 

 

(I'm telling you . . . future generations will revere the work Kenan has done on "SNL".  Don't laugh . . . unless you want to be on the wrong side of history.  Meanwhile, check out the clip here.)

Chris Martin Says Coldplay's Next Album May Be Their Last 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTSCOLDPLAY has started working on their seventh album, and apparently, there's a good chance it's their last.  CHRIS MARTIN says, quote, "Not to say that there might not be another thing one day, but this is the completion of something.  I have to think of it as the final thing we're doing."

 

 

FULL STORY:  COLDPLAY has been around for about 15 years . . . and apparently, they're thinking about calling it a day.

 

 

In a new interview, CHRIS MARTIN says they're working on their seventh album, which they're calling "A Head Full of Dreams".  And he thinks it will be their LAST one . . . because "Harry Potter" also ended after seven installments.  (???)

 

 

He says, quote, "It's our seventh thing, and the way we look at it, it's like the last 'Harry Potter' book or something like that.  Not to say that there might not be another thing one day, but this is the completion of something."

 

 

"I have to think of it as the final thing we're doing.  Otherwise we wouldn't put everything into it."  (Those last lines make this seem a little more dubious.  Are they REALLY thinking about this as the last album . . . at least for now?)

 

 

(Or are they just thinking of it AS their last album to motivate them to "put everything into it."  You know, sort of like "live every day as if it's your last.")

 

 

(OR . . . maybe it just means that if they reconvene for another album, they'll actually try something different, instead of re-recording the same album over and over again.  The interview was with BBC Radio 1.  Here's the audio.)

Slayer Helped Rescue a Kitten Before a Gig 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  Last week, SLAYER played a gig in Indianapolis, and while they were in town, they SAVED A KITTEN.  Guitarist KERRY KING and the band's crew ran into a homeless guy who was offering to sell a kitten for $1.  They "bought" the cat . . . brought it back to their tour bus . . . and later found it a good home.

 

 

FULL STORY:  Last week, SLAYER played a gig in Indianapolis, and while they were in town, they SAVED A HOMELESS KITTEN.  It sounds like a story from "The Onion", but it's true.

 

 

According to the band's publicist, guitarist KERRY KING went out to a steakhouse with some of the band's crew . . . and on their way out, they ran into a homeless guy who was offering to sell a kitten for $1.

 

 

Slayer's assistant tour manager saw that the cat looked cold, so she "bought" it . . . took it back to the tour bus . . . slept with it in her bunk . . . and brought it to the venue the next day.  She then found someone who wanted a kitten, so now the cat has a home.

 

 

The new owner posted a photo of the cat on Facebook, saying, "Here she is!  I named her Gypsy!  I gave her a bath last night, then she slept for five hours on the heating pad.  She's at the vet this morning being treated for fleas and worms.

 

 

"Thank you Slayer for your act of kindness and thank you."  (Here's the photo, which is in a comment.  If you don't think this is ROCK AND ROLL enough, look at it this way:  Everyone in the band and crew could have ended up with FLEAS AND WORMS because of this.  Now THAT'S hardcore.)

Queen's Brian May Is Raising Awareness for . . . the Threat of Asteroids? 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  QUEEN guitarist and astrophysicist BRIAN MAY is part of a group that's raising awareness for THE THREAT OF ASTEROIDS on our planet.  They're calling for the creation of a massive asteroid detection system.  The group also includes BILL NYE, the "Science Guy."

 

 

FULL STORY:  It isn't surprising to hear about a musician "raising awareness" for something.  They've done it for AIDS, cancer, and that disease where everyone was dumping buckets of ice water on their heads.

 

 

They've also done it for social and political injustices around the world . . . crimes against humanity . . . and saving the whales.  But QUEEN guitarist BRIAN MAY has something different, and it's somewhat of a THROWBACK.

 

 

If you didn't know, Brian got a PhD in astrophysics a few years back . . . and now he's joined a group of astronomers, scientists, and others to raise awareness about THE THREAT OF ASTEROIDS on our planet.  The group also includes BILL NYE, the "Science Guy."

 

 

The group released a declaration calling for the creation of a massive asteroid detection system to, quote, "solve humanity's greatest challenges to safeguard our families and quality of life on Earth in the future."

 

 

(I have a plan.  We could get BRUCE WILLIS to lead a team that lands ON an asteroid aimed at Earth . . . drill a hole into its center . . . and explode a nuclear device that splits the asteroid, and saves Earth.)

 

 

(And the soundtrack could be provided by a '70s hard rock band with a flamboyant singer who loves scarves.  You know . . . AEROSMITH!!!)

Does Mariah Carey Think the Sound Techs Deliberately Leaked Her Terrible Vocal Track Last Week Out of Revenge? 

 

 

MARIAH CAREY butchered "All I Want for Christmas Is You" on live TV last week.  And within hours of the broadcast, an isolated vocal track hit the Internet . . . that COULD have been leaked by one of the sound techs working on the show.

 

 

Supposedly, that's exactly what Mariah thinks happened . . . and that it was all about REVENGE.  A source tells the "New York Daily News", quote, "It's really hard to leak 'just' audio.  Mariah is blaming producers.

 

 

"She believes they did it to punish her for not showing up to taping the day before the live event."  Mariah was supposed to TAPE the performance the night before . . . but she was three hours late, so they gave up and decided to do it live instead.

Urban Quick Hits:  Beanie Sigel, Ariana Grande, and Kanye West 

 

 

1.  BEANIE SIGEL was shot in the abdomen in New Jersey on Friday.  Authorities initially called the wound life-threatening, but hospital officials told police that he was awake Friday afternoon after surgery.  He's still in critical condition though.

 

 

It's unclear what went down.  Some people are saying there was a "struggle" between Beanie and someone with, quote, "some type of family relationship" to him.  The other man refused medical treatment, and has been uncooperative with the police.

 

 

But Beanie's lawyer says he'd just taken his children to school and was an "unintended target" of the shooting.  Beanie's been through this before.  In 2006, he was shot multiple times in the arm inPhiladelphiaafter an attempted robbery.

 

 

 

2.  ARIANA GRANDE and her boyfriend BIG SEAN shared some PDA during a performance together over the weekend.  (Here's video.)

 

 

 

3.  "Rolling Stone" recently called KANYE WEST'S polarizing album "808s & Heartbreak" one of "the most groundbreaking albums of all time."  The magazine said, quote, "Its core aesthetic was like nothing in hip-hop:  Freshly butchered feelings enumerated in detail, but masked by digital processing . . . beds of spare synths used to balance a mix of singing and rapping."

The furries who were evacuated said they were alright standing outside in the cold, because everyone was in a warm costume.

 

 

A police hazmat team found powdered chlorine in a stairwell, so they're investigating it as a DELIBERATE attack, as opposed to a leak . . . they think someone was intentionally targeting the furry convention.  (CBS 2 - Chicago(The FurFest Chairman is Perro and he can be reached at chair@furfest.org.)
