Man Angry About Rihanna’s Reunion With Violent Asshole Acts Like A Violent Asshole

Man Angry About Rihanna's Reunion With Violent Asshole Acts Like A Violent Asshole

An unidentified British man is angry at Rihanna for getting back together with Chris Brown. That’s understandable — very few people find the situation fulfilling, considering the fact that Brown is a cocky, violent and disturbed guy. What’s less reasonable is the manner in which our British man chose to express his displeasure: By screaming and hurling a bottled energy drink at Rihanna as she left a London Fashion Week party.

The 2013 Grammys Dress Code: No Female Breasts Or Organized Causes

The 2013 Grammys Dress Code: No Female Breasts Or Organized Causes

Awards season has long usurped bikini season for least family-friendly celebrity photo buzz, but CBS isn’t having it this year: In advance of the 2013 Grammys Award show, they issued an official dress code instructing performers and attendees to keep themselves covered up–especially if they’re female, or have a social cause they’d like to promote. It’s their party, so they can censor however they want to…but coming from an awards show that allowed Chris Brown to perform (and accept awards on stage in a chest-revealing outfit) on the three-year anniversary of assaulting Rihanna, it’s kind of hard to stomach.

Rihanna’s Collaboration With Chris Brown Isn’t ‘Forgiveness.’ It Condones Domestic Violence.

Rihanna's Collaboration With Chris Brown Isn't 'Forgiveness.' It Condones Domestic Violence.

Chris Brown and Rihanna collaborated on two song remixes, released yesterday in the midst of heated controversy over Brown’s performances at the Grammys. The songs—her “Birthday Cake” and his “Turn Up the Music”—are sparking suspicions that they’re back together, three years after his arrest for brutally attacking her at a pre-Grammy awards party; Brown also sent a happy birthday message via twitter for Rihanna’s 24th birthday yesterday, stoking the rumors. This could all be an opportunity for Rihanna to inspire fans with forgiveness…but the thing is: Chris Brown never apologized, at least not to us. Publicly, he’s shown little remorse, regret, or evidence of serious recovery. Instead, he’s given critics an “F-you,” making their reunion look more like a car crash than an inspired second chance. More »

Russell Simmons’ Less-Than-Enlightened Defense of Chris Brown

Russell Simmons' Less-Than-Enlightened Defense of Chris Brown

Russell Simmons likes to meditate, he does yoga, he’s vegan, and he contributes a portion of his vast fortunes to charities like PETA, Champions for Children, Earth Day Network, and the Lisa Lopes Foundation. Sounds like a good guy, right? I’m not his number one fan (I haven’t read his books and I don’t watch his show) but ever since learning about his healthy habits and highly evolved ethics, I’ve had a vague interest and respect for the famous hip-hop entrepreneur. So when I read his defense of Chris Brown on Global Grind, I was surprised and disappointed to hear such unenlightened ideas about domestic violence. More »
