After a tumultuous 2009, it appears things are finally looking up Chris Brown. Following the announcement that the R&B star will be taking his ‘Fan Appreciation Tour’ around the globe, BET have confirmed that the 20 year old star will be headlining their forthcoming ‘Spring Bling’ extravaganza on April 10th.

Brown phoned in to the network’s flagship show, 106 & Park, yesterday to give details on the concert, his first ‘proper’ televised set since…

Chris Brown Returns To Twitter

Chris Brown Begs Fans For Help

After claiming that radio stations refused to play his music and crying for fans’ support on SayNow (Chris Brown Needs Your Help), Chris Brown decided to come back to popular micro-blogging site Twitter. After several posts, he then began promoting his music, writing ” ‘Too Freaky’… mixtape on fire right now.”

Chris Brown left Twitter back in December 2009 after he threw tantrum on the social network (Chris Brown Has Meltdown On Twitter), claiming that Walmart and other major stores had boycotted his album “Graffiti”. Before closing his account, he gave fans short message, thanking their support but providing no explanation about the exit.

The “Run It!” singer opened a new Twitter account under the name of @chrisbrown.

Chris Brown’s Ex Arrested For 12 Bags Of Cocaine

Chris Brown Heads Back To Court

He also read to students at Sisulu-Walker Charter School’s annual “Family Read Night” school in Harlem yesterday.

Things appear to be going from bad to worse for Pop group Girlicious. Never quite fulfilling their potential due to line-up changes (member Tiffianie has left the group) and label drama, the trio today face new a dilemma, as prominent member Natalie Mejia was arrested after police found her with 12 bags of cocaine. The singer is currently being held on $30,000 bail.

If you haven’t heard of them, it’s because they haven’t achieved much success here in the U.S. The group was originally formed by Robin Antin, creator of the Pussycat Dolls, from the CW reality TV show “Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious.” Their self-titled debut album was released in Canada in mid 2008, reaching number 2 on the Canadian Albums Chart.

And if you have heard of them, it’s probably because Chris Brown was rumored to be dating Natalie.

RUMOR: Is Chris Brown Dating Girlicious Singer?

Mejia and Peter Asencio, 28, of Burbank were taken into custody after a police noticed a 1998 Ford Mustang driving at a high rate of speed, Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said.

The officer stopped the car at Victory Boulevard and Winchester Avenue, just before it went onto the Ventura (134) Freeway, he said.

Mejia, who was a passenger in the car, was apparently heading to an airport for a concert in Canada, Lorenz said.

Police searched the Mustang after discovering Asencio’s driver’s license was suspended, Lorenz said.

During the search, police allegedly found multiple individual baggies of cocaine in Mejia’s Gucci purse.

Brown used an audio message to spread the desperate plea.

I ain’t never really did this but right now I need all of my fans help. A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. It’s on the fans and what you guys do in your power to bring me back. That’s all I need is you guys and nothing else will do that except for the fans.

I don’t know what else to say. It’s nothing else that I can do. I’m doing everything that I need to do. I’m doing me as a person and I’m a better guy.

It’s on ya’ll. My singing and my music I do it for you guys and everything else but it won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio and it wouldn’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have the support. I can’t be an underground mixtape artist. That’s where we are. I just want all my fans to help me. I love ya’ll. Peace

Brown goes on to say he’s “a better guy now” … but says “[My music] won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio … I can’t be an underground mix tape artist.”

Chris Brown tries to be Kanye…and fails

Billboard’s poll has ranked Chris Brown third sexiest man in music. Following Breezy is Usher at number eight, Maxwell at number nine and Drake at number 10.

Do you agree with this poll? Does Chris Brown’s assault on Rihanna still not sit right with you or have you forgiven Breezy and moved on?

Chris Brown Tries To Be Kanye…And Fails

I’m hearing that Chris Brown “was all over” Keri Hilson at the Axe Lounge at Liv, where Diddy was hosting a bash and where Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush were celebrating the Saints’ Super Bowl win.

According to E! News the two were “grinding each other” on the dance floor, and Chris even made a special request…

“He insisted on her being in a photo with him as well,” a source tells us.

The two left together, along with a group of friends.

No word from either of their reps, but Keri posted the following on her Twitter page:

“LMAO paps think they slick!! Gone ask CB & I to tk a pic on carpet then asked da crew if we datin!! LHLAB so, no! I’mma let yall know now ”

This sounds like a denial to me!!!

OOPS! Keri Hilson bares her butt on stage

Get Keri Hilson’s Grammy look

Rihanna says she won’t be bringing a date to Sunday’s Grammys.

“I’m going to the Grammys alone, as always!” she said Thursday on 104.3 MY FM’s Valentine in the Morning show in Los Angeles. “Even when I was in a relationship, I always have gone alone.”

She then blurted out, “I’m still single, if that’s what you really want to ask!”

But what about Matt Kemp, who she was seen with in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico? “It was a blast!” is all she would say about the trip.

Rihanna’s appearance at the Feb. 8, 2009 Grammy Awards was canceled last-minute, following a violent incident with then-boyfriend Chris Brown. Brown later pleaded guilty to felony assault, and was sentenced to five years of probation.

She also believes that the last-minute cancellation was the reason why she wasn’t invited to perform at this year’s Grammy’s, saying: “We messed their show up pretty bad last year. They might be a little mad at me.”

Should We Forgive Chris Brown Yet?

Chris Brown has certainly been vilified in the media for his recent domestic abuse scandal. He has put on a well publicized show of repentance, and now the question is not so much ‘why did he do it;’ but more of ’should we forgive him yet?’

It seems that in the fashion world, celebrity trumps scandal, and forgiveness is granted to Breezy. High Fashion designers Gianfranco Ferre recently showed their 2010/2011 Fall Winter menswear collection at Milan Fashion Week. Chris made an appearance and apparently the designers Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi, were so enamored with him that they posed for a picture and sent it out in a press release to major fashion news outlets.

Take a look at the press release below:

Since an esteemed fashion house like Ferre is boasting about its association with a famed woman-beater, we must ask the question: is it time to forgive Chris Brown?

In my opinion, Chris Brown is a fashionable guy. Unfortunately, he has also been convicted of domestic abuse. The latter by far cancels the appeal of the former in this simple equation.

PASS OR FAIL? Chris Brown’s New Photo Shoot

Regardless of how famous he is, how much publicity he can generate or how desperate fashion houses are to stay afloat in these trying economic times, I can’t fathom why any decent publicist would regard such a press release is a smart idea.

I do not think that Chris Brown has done enough to recover from his tainted image. I do not forgive him yet, and I do not want to wear any designer that flaunts him for press.

What do you think? Should we forgive Breezy yet?
