It looks like Rev. Al Sharpton had no idea that Chris Brown was scheduled to perform at Sunday (Jun 28) night’s BET Awards. In this video posted to MTV.com, the activist can be seen denouncing the rumors that he had something to do with Brown being bumped with the performance line-up.

I didn’t even know Chris Brown was supposed to be there, less knowing saying anything against him. I think that is absurd … Last time I checked, BET doesn’t check with me on their lineup.

Not too long ago, Chris Brown legally became a convicted felon and was told to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna, 10 yards if at the same event. But according to a mutual friend, both Chris and Rihanna think the clause is pointless and impractical.

“They think it’s unnecessary and ridiculous. After [the proceeding], Ri and Chris talked on the phone for almost an hour and really worked at becoming friends. They’re solid now,” the mutual friend said.

Rumors are running rampant on the internet insisting that Jay-Z was the force behind Chris Brown not being able to pay homage to Michael Jackson at the 2009 BET Awards. A rapper just doesn’t have that kind of power. It was the BET execs, and more importantly the Viacom execs, who decided it wouldn’t be good for their “image” to let Chris Brown perform. Believe what and who you want to believe, but our sources can confirm that Jay-Z had NOTHING to do with Chris Brown being axed from the show at the very last minute.

BET needs to be ashamed of themselves for using Michael Jackson’s name to hype up ratings. Because that’s EXACTLY what they did. If you didn’t catch the 2009 BET Awards, trust us … you didn’t miss much. The show was obviously thrown together at the last minute, and they should have left MJ’s name out of it if they weren’t going to deliver.

On Friday, via their official website, they put out a story saying that they would be “shifting gears” to honor Michael Jackson and his contributions to the world of music and the entire world in general. The final result? A sloppy mess that looks like it was put together in an AOL Instant Messenger chat room the day before. Now we’re not going to knock Jamie Foxx and Ne-Yo for their tributes, because they were on point. And even Ciara did her thing too. But no one would have done a tribute like Chris Brown…

Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty, is furious at the sentencing that Chris Brown received for assaulting his daughter. The “Take You Down” singer was assigned six months community service and five years of probation for his felony assault. But Rihanna’s father thinks he should have received more.

“He should be in jail. Chris should have been sent to jail for what he did to my girl. He’s got off lightly. Chris put her through hell.”

Both Chris Brown and Rihanna are expected to appear at tonight’s BET Awards and according to his sentencing, he is to be no less than 10 yards away from her.

Not even 72 hours since Michael Jackson passed and a new song featuring Chris Brown, The Game, and Diddy has joined the many other tributes that have surfaced. The song is titled “Better on the Other Side” and it is produced by DJ Khaled and features various artists such as Chris Brown, Diddy, Boyz II Men and more.

Better On The Other Side

Rip MJ.

It’s no secret that young R&B/pop singer Chris Brown is a huge Michael Jackson fan. And the Virginia based entertainer, who has battled his own form of the media’s scrutiny just as his idol, has released an official statement exclusively to Gossip On This in the wake of the King of Pop’s surprising and untimely death.

Michael Jackson is the reason why I do music and why I am an entertainer. I am devastated by this great loss, and I will continue to be humbled and inspired by his legacy. My prayers are with his family. Michael will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. He’s the greatest… the best ever. No one will ever be better.

We can finally say “case closed” on that crazy incident that went down between young superstars Chris Brown and Rihanna back in February 2009. Chris pleaded guilty Monday (Jun 22) on charges of assault against his former girlfriend, which was the result of an agreement between prosecutors. The plea deal includes five years of probation, attending courses on domestic violence and Brown must perform 180 days of community service in his home state of Virginia. In addition to the punishments above, he was ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna, excluding public events where he is legally required to be at least 10 yards away from her. He will not spend a second behind bars.

Chris Brown and his buddies (peep Teyana Taylor on the right … not sure who the dude is in the middle) made a statement Sunday (Jun 14) night by looking like a group of stick-up kids on their way to some “cops and robbers” themed party. But they weren’t on their way to some crazy theme party … they were in fact sitting courtside at Game 5 of the 2009 NBA Finals in Orlando, FL and watched as the Lakers took the championship trophy from the Magic in a final score of 99 to 86.

Other celebrities at the game were Serena Williams and Chris Tucker. Continue reading to check out all of the pics!
