Chris Brown: Helping Haiti not about me

Former Billboard chart-topper Chris Brown says his efforts to help Haiti are authentic and have nothing to do with him trying to rebuild his image.
Oh, and he announced a new venture where he's selling ice cubes to Eskimos.
The "I Can Transform Ya" star recently had this to say about those that question his motives. “When it’s a question of, ‘Oh, is he doing this to gain fans or get his image back?’ it hurts,” he said. “When you do something genuinely from your heart, it’s not for PR or press. If that was the case, I’d try to get Obama or somebody.”
Obama? Did you hear that Obama? Chris said he'd get you -- like pull you out of a hat, when needed (would he tell some jokes, maybe?).
Chris has a benefit concert in Richmond, Virgina, called "Virginia Stand Up," which will raise funds for Haiti.
He says he's been getting major love. “The response has been incredible,” Chris told Popeater.com. “I still live out here, so people come up to me if I’m in the store and tell me, ‘I think it’s great what you’re doing.’ It’s going to be incredible. Everybody’s happy about it.”
Chris Brown needs major image rehab. Haiti needs major rehab. I think he should do all he can to help the struggling country after January's catastrophic earthquake, but Chris, let's be real, bro: You need this.
It's okay, I'm with it, it's a good cause, just don't fake the funk, dude.
Remember, you have nothing to lose.

Rihanna: The Stage Play (You knew this was coming)

Can the soap opera-like saga we all know as Chrihanna (or Chrianna, depending on what part of the country you're in) translate to the stage? We'll see. But who will play the role of Jay-Z?

Rihanna Gets a New Tattoo ... Of a Gun

Everybody's reluctant spokeswoman has drafted herself a new tattoo under her arm. It's a pistol and it may be a warning of some sort. Then again, it just maybe something she's always wanted. Hard to say, it's hard to find Rihanna news these days. It's like, no one is blogging about RiRi. Hmmm.

Keisha Chante regrets Chris Brown link

Canadian-born singer Keisha Chante has been trying to distance herself from the Chris Brown-Rihanna fracas ever since she was named as one of the girls that texted him before the big blowup.
The news was not all that damaging, except that Chante wants to be known for her biggest project-in-the-making: the lead role in the Aaliyah biopic.
The bad press did little to American audiences because she's not as famous (though she is known) here as she is in Canada, where the news soured many of her fans.
Her reps quickly jumped to deny the rumors"I think they met a few years back, probably three or four years ago in Canada... but that's it," her manager is quoted as saying.

The Aaliyah film will feature Hype Williams (who will direct the video that Aaliyah died before finishing) as well as choreographer Fatima Robinson Timbaland, Ginuwine, and Missy Elliott.
While Chante may not be a household name in the U.S., she is basically the Canadian Rihanna with quite a few underground hits under her belt including songs with Usher, R. Kelly and Alicia Keys).
