Chris Brown Going To Rehab

1028-chris-brown-02


















Chris Brown has just entered a rehab facility for anger management issues ... presumably to deal with his temper problems and to blunt a possible prison sentence.
Sources tell TMZ ... Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, just dropped him off at a facility in Malibu. The move doesn't come a day too soon. 
We've learned the L.A. County probation department is going full bore in its investigation to determine if Brown violated his probation in the Rihanna case by getting arrested in D.C. over the weekend ... after allegedly punching a guy in the nose.
Sources tell TMZ, Brown flew to L.A. after getting released from the D.C. jail and met with L.A. County Probation Department officials today.
We're told it's likely the Probation Department will determine that Brown violated his probation, and a judge could sentence him to as much as 4 years in prison.
Along with Geragos, we're told his mom and GF Karrueche accompanied Chris to the facility.
The rehab move could show a measure of good faith and contrition.

Mike Tyson to Chris Brown: STOP PUNCHING PEOPLE ... Or Else

102913_mike_tyson_955plj_launch 
Mike Tyson is worried about Chris Brown ... he thinks the pop star is too violent ... and if he doesn't cut the crap, CB is going to pay a very serious price. 
Tyson was a guest on the 95.5 PLJ Morning Show this morning ... when the gang asked if Mike, who's battled anger issues in the past, had any advice for Chris -- and Tyson delivered. 
"I like and admire that little guy," Tyson said ... adding, "I'm just worried about him."Tyson says he knows from experience that if Chris doesn't learn to control his rage issues, people will turn on him -- and "they're gonna put him somewhere where that's all they do is assault people."
We're guessing he means prison. and Tyson ends with this gem: "Chris should know this ... if you're not humble in this world, this world will dress humbleness upon you."

Lady Gaga Covers Glamour's Women Of The Year Issue

lady gaga
 Lady Gaga is one of the most beloved superstars on the planet, which might explain why she was chosen to cover Glamour's Women of the Year issue.
Gaga, who is also honored as one of Glamour's 2013 Women of the Year, stuns as the December cover girl, striking a pose in a metallic Gucci wrap dress. But believe it or not, Mother Monster doesn't consider herself "conventionally beautiful" -- she's grown to love who she is on the inside rather than the outside.
“If there was some sort of mathematical equation for beauty, I don’t know if I would be the algorithm," Lady Gaga tells Andy Cohen, who interviewed her for the Glamour story. "I’ve always been OK with that. I’m not a supermodel. That’s not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what’s happening on the outside.”
"I’m confident in who I am," she adds. "I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star.”
Speaking of becoming a star, Lady Gaga didn't just leave behind her normal day-to-day life, she let go of her real name: Stefani Germanotta. The "Applause" singer admits she only allows family and close friends to call her Stefani.
“I’m both all the time. Gaga and Stefani are my nicknames. I guess when people meet me for the first time and call me Stefani, it bothers me. Because it’s something that’s reserved for only the people who are closest to me," she explains. "It’s not because I don’t like my given name; it’s that I became somebody else. I became somebody else for a reason, you know. This is part of what my message is -- you can become whoever you want to be, to escape your past.”

World's tallest man gets married in Turkey

The world's tallest man Sultan Kosen (C) waves on October 27, 2013, in Mardin, Turkey, during his wedding ceremony with a Syrian woman















  Ankara (AFP) - Turkey's Sultan Kosen, at 2.51 metres (eight foot three) the world's tallest man, has wed a Syrian woman he called the "love of my life", though he towers over his 1.75-metre bride.
"I cannot describe my feelings in words," the 31-year-old groom said during the wedding celebration in his hometown in the southeastern province of Mardin on Sunday.
"I am the happiest man in the world," he was quoted as saying on the website of the state-run Anatolia news agency.
His 20-year-old bride Mervi Dibo, who hails from the Syrian town of Hasaka, added: "I hope this happiness will be long-lasting."
The groom's black suit was custom made, requiring six metres of fabric, Anatolia reported.
Born into a farming family in southeastern Turkey, Kosen won global fame in September 2009 when Guinness World Records declared him the tallest man in the world. He was then 2.47 meters tall.

Kanye West planning extravangant wedding with fight jets next year

Kim K's third wedding will be as extravagant as her second wedding if her fiance Kanye has his way. Kanye, in a radio interview yesterday with Power 106's morning radio show, hinted at an extravagant wedding to take place next summer.  

When asked for a hint about his upcoming wedding, Kanye said;
"Two words: 'fighter jets'" He went further to explain "Kim knew I was eventually going to ask her to marry me. I just had to get that ring right. I worked with four different jewelers. Three rings were made and only one hit the ringer and that was Lorraine Schwartz's. 'I actually changed the ring the night before. The ring was less than four hours old when I gave it to her.'
"I wanted to marry that girl from the first time I saw her,' he said. 'Kim and I are the perfect balance.''I had to wait through a bunch of other relationships to finally get the chance"

20th Century Fox Screenwriter -- You Stole My Justin Timberlake Flick!!


1028-in-time-justin-timberlake
A screenwriter claims he's a victim of Hollywood bullies -- and that the movie he wrote that became a Justin Timberlake feature was flat out stolen from him.
 Odysseus Lappas filed a lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- in which he claims he wrote a screenplay in 1996 called "Time Card," about a man who lives in a future world where people died at age 25 unless they can purchase more time.  Sounds interesting.

He claims it also sounded interesting to 20th Century Fox, which offered him $80k for the rights.  He turned the offer down because he wanted to produce and/or direct the film.
Fast forward to 2011, when Fox released the film, "In Time," starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried.  Lappas says the movie is a ripoff of virtually every element of "Time Card."
"In Time" grossed $37.5 mil. -- not exactly "Titanic."
Lappas wants $4.5 mil.  But you know Hollywood, what he really wants is to direct.

Mysterious figures at Chelsea stadium

11 strange men in black robes (can you spot them in the pic above?) caused a stir at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge yesterday Sunday October 27th during the Chelsea vs Manchester City clash.
Goal.com reports that the hooded men, who had mysterious circles on their chest, were seen making curious synchronised movements at irregular intervals during Chelsea's 2-1 win, while they also stood in unison at random moments.
Situated three rows back from the corner flag at the Shed End, the gang could be clearly seen on TV cameras beaming pictures of the crunch fixture all across the world.
One Chelsea fan sat close to the mysterious guests was Robin Taylor, who said afterwards that he was slightly perturbed by their presence.
"We're used to a few different characters down at Chelsea, there was once even a guy brushing his teeth behind the bench at a game, but we've had nothing quite like this before," he said.

Future husband: Ciara accepted the rappers proposal as they celebrated her birthday in New York it emerged on Sunday 
  In January it emerged they were dating.And now Ciara is engaged to marry rapper Future after he sprang a surprise proposal as they celebrated her birthday.
The hip hop star and producer got down on one knee after producing a stunning 15-carat diamond ring.
Their publicist Chris Chambers confirmed the news to the Associated Press, saying she was already celebrating her 28th birthday in New York when he proposed.

Future, real name Nayvadius D. Wilburn, is currently in the middle of a tour with Canadian hip hop superstar Drake.

He subsequently legally recognized the son as his and was ordered to pay $1662 in child support each month.

Ciara has had a string of hits, including recent single Body Party, Goodies, Promise and Like a Boy.

Dr. Conrad Murray A Free Man Again


1027_conrad_murray_getty2
Dr. Conrad Murray is a FREE MAN ... after serving a 2-year jail sentence for killing Michael Jackson.
According to the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. ... Murray was released shortly after midnight Monday morning -- however, he did not make a triumphant walk out of jail ... choosing, instead, to sneak out away from photogs who had gathered.
By remaining unseen ... Murray obviously knows he raises the price tag of that coveted first interview with him. 
The good doc has been locked up since November '11 after being convicted of  manslaughter.  He was sentenced to 4 years in prison ... but 2 is normal for a 4-year sentence.
As we previously reported ... Murray plans to try and get his medical license back in Nevada and block revocation in California -- our sources say he doesn't stand a chance.  
He's also looking to hire a publicist once he's out -- to help change his image.
Freedom will clearly also have its challenges.

Miley Cyrus Covers Cosmopolitan Mag.{INSIDE}

miley society

The 20-year-old superstar opens up to Cosmopolitan's December issue, admitting that she sees herself as "kind of an underdog."
"Everything is so chaotic and crazy right now and it’s so much all at once, but I’m living for it. I'm just having the best time ever and everything’s falling into place like it’s supposed to," Cyrus tells the magazine. "Even people who want to hate on me, they can’t even shut down the fact that I’m literally what everyone is talking about."
"I don’t want to say that I’m on top right now -– I feel like I’m kind of an underdog in a cool way," she continues, adding her two cents about society's view on her. "It’s almost punk rock to like me because it’s not the right thing to do. Like, society wants to shut me down."
Cyrus has been making headlines over the last few months thanks to her risque performances, NSFW music videos and out-there apparel. She also recently ended her engagement to longtime boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, which didn't come as a surprise to many.
Still, the "Wrecking Ball" singer says she's putting all of her energy into her music and not dwelling on the breakup.
“I need to treat my music like a relationship -– give it my time and all the attention it deserves -– and that’s my main love right now," she explains. "This is the best time of my life. I’m not going to look back on it and be like, ‘I wish I hadn’t been dwelling over a breakup,’ you know? Because that’s not what God wants my life to be about right now. God wants my life to be about being successful and being happy and blessing other people and being blessed.”

Karrueche thrashes Chris Brown after arrest.

Chris Brown's on-and-off again girlfriend Karrueche Tran trashed him on twitter today a few hours after it emerged that he'd been arrested for punching a man in D.C. Her reaction to the news came as a surprise to some people because their split, which happened recently, hadn't been made public.
Chris and Karrueche had a falling out about a week ago after she asked to move into Chris' LA pad. A source claims Chris flipped over the request and accused Karrueche of not being 'grateful' for everything he already does for her, and for trying to push him too hard. Chris and Karrueche  have since unfollowed each other on Twitter. Lol. "Karrueche basically wants to move back into Chris’ house and be there and lay some roots down. She’s wasn’t trying to suffocate him or have him on lock,” a source said. “In her mind, it was just a baby step, but Chris took it the wrong way. He got really mad and told her, ‘Why can’t you just be happy with what we got?’ and ‘Why you always trying to ask for more? I do all this sh!t and you’re not grateful.’”
“He thinks she’s trying to use him. That made her cry and she was devastated that he would say some s--t like that and she left,”
"Chris acts out and this is his way of dealing with his feelings with any girl who wants to get close. He’s not good with his emotions and he doesn’t know how to act." the source revealed.
Chris and Karrueche have unfollowed each other on Twitter, and Chris kinda hinted he had broken up with her when he wrote on his twitter:
