Chris Brown Under Investigation for Felony Battery

[MissResha]

and about laughing at death, i seriously doubt her "HAHA" was the same kinda "HAHA" we do when we watch a comedy. more of a "thats what he gets" kinda "haha". like, an irony filled sarcastic haha. i mean, i could be wrong, but i dont think she's seriously laughing hysterically at the fact he killed himself. there is a lot of irony to the story...but anyway

i wanted to also say, the only way a dude should raise his hands is if his life is in danger. by a girl or a guy, doesn't matter. i'm sure rihanna didnt have a gun, a bat, or an umbrella to beat his ass with, so he shouldn't have treated her like Terry Tate. im sorry i just have no sympathy for "wife-beaters"

I agree with most everyone...as far as until the whole story is told...we cannot say what happened and why...we have no idea what REALLY happened...none of us witnessed him beating her....We don't even have her side of the story....So I doubt that we can drag him through the mud especially when she is not even doing so...so until the story is a "FACT" I am personally reserving my judgement. Every thing we have heard is from the media and speculations...which we know 99.9% of the time is inaccurate or highly exaggerated....So right now I still feel the same way about both of them as I did before this incident...When I know better I will feel differently I'm sure.

And just as you said that...that would have been an easy reponse for others as well if that is/was the case, would you not agree?

Sigh, a new Whitney Houston for this generation =/

and you shouldn't have sympathy for wife-beaters but none of this is confirmed and to keep saying that 'he beat the shit out of her' is not completely accurate.
as far as the 'real' man walking away-many do but some women can't handle it and continue to press it even going as far as to kill the man or incarcerate him. this is something real and should not be ignored because we want to believe that ALL women are victims.

Regarding Usher's wife... I'm sure the complications arose from her specific health conditions and her need to have stomach surgery so soon after giving birth. There are world class doctors in other countries, I'm sure they didn't go to a strip mall doctor on lay way.

It's too bad she's been dealing with this emotionally for so long (quote from 2007) and she didn't listen to her own words:

"We (black women) don't like ourselves. If I were Hispanic, Usher would have the sexiest wife alive. If I were mixed, he'd have the sexiest wife alive. "But he has a black girl, and it's like, 'She's horrible and she's ugly!' OK, maybe I don't fit the cookie-cutter standard - 25 and a size two - but this is who he loves."

---Usher's wife Tameka Foster lashes out at 'jealous' fans in Essence magazine

^^^^ Exactly....Be you...don't allow the world to make you make yourself into someone you are not....If a man falls in love wiith you the way you are...why change to please society...Please yourself and your man! If the world thinks she looks like a man...Maybe Usher likes manly looking women...He put a ring on it...

absolutely, but i do know how stuff can be read out of context online especially. i was giving her the benefit of the doubt, like, in all seriousness i could be wrong. maybe she was laughing and giggling hysterically, but i just wanted to throw out another option just in case she wasnt. either way

i'm just glad dude didnt hurt anyone else.....or did he, i didnt see anything about it on the news...

Hey ladies, i've just read that Rihanna's grandma said that she is fine, and that her nose is not broken and her lips aren't split... another proof of exageration from tabloids

I don't think so...It obviously was not News worthy for CNN or my local networks

This is like a series.....Can't wait to the real story finally come out...But the fact is...It may never be known what really happened....they both are not talking publicly ...and others are just speculating....Only those two know what the real deal was...

The more glorified and horric the report...the more magazines people buy..the more tabloids we read and watch...so of course it will be so full blown before it is all said and done with...None of those internet blog sites and tabloids are 100% credible

So, it's true that in the US, tabloids are religiously followed? I mean, here, we are interested in some gossip, but we don't get the tabloids thing that much... I'm always amazed by how a story could easily break a career in the US.
Like, what happened to Clinton, it wouldn't have changed a thing here...

Girl...My grammy (God rest her soul) Used to have her Tabloids on the same shelf as the Holy Bible....Now of course she would argue with you that Star and Inquirer twists the facts...However the Globe was gospel

So if you said that was not true she would say...I know damn well it is and go bring you the Globe with the print highlighted and that of course made it FACT!! My Mom and I would just die laughing how seriously she kept up with those tabloid magazines, TMZ etc....

Tish... you always crack me up! You're amazing!

But, on the tabloids thing, it's interesting how Americans attach importance to their privacy and private property (My money is my money, i will not give it to others or to the State, don't touch my car, don't enter my home, the CIA/FBI should mind their own business... and so on...) but, when it comes to celebrities... geeeezzzz, all those good principles have suddenly disappeared!

haha!!!
my g-ma treated the Inquirer like the Bible. she was a firm believer in Bat Boy. lol!

but in response to the other comment, i think that over here the people that report the gossip and the way they do it is what gets us interested. the way that it's reported is what keeps us interested. like they leave you hanging a lot. give just little more each time so that you keep coming back. that's why this thread has 9 pages of comments. lol!!!
my ass has been up on this thread first thing in the morning since all this went down. because i feel like we're all working together as a team to find everything out. ha! i always have it in my head that somebody has found a new article stating something new so i'm anxious to see.

kind of off the subject but i remember a little before it was reported that nick and jess were having Us mag had a cover saying that they were already broken up and when you read the actual article they said that a "close source" walked past nick in a bar and heard him saying to a friend "i don't know. i just don't know"............

wtf? i know they broke up but THIS statement is all they had to go along with that huge ass 72 point font title "nick and jess are over!!!!!!"
wow

 

[Shoegal-fr]

Ok, it's a little off topic, but it came to my mind when i was typing "my money is my money". I've just seen the Newsweek (i think) cover which says that USA is becoming a socialist country. Maaaaaannnnnnn, we laughed so hard during my class today. Booo, be afraid, soon the USA will even be communist!
Sorry, but, it's funny how giving a few dollars per month to help building a system that might HELP ANYONE OF YOU ONE DAY is scary for some "ahem"... conservative people (i'm trying to stay polite).
I'm so glad Obama did it! And i'm telling you, the USA will become more powerful than it has been before, you're actually rebuilding your image across the world! Can you imagine, Iran is OK to speak with the US government, HUGE step i'm telling you!!

No he didn't, apparently he was a businessman from Chicago that was upset about his business going under.
