Chewing gum company Wrigley has spit out R&B singer Chris Brown for good. Brown, who used to be a spokesman for the company’s Doublemint gum, has his recent controversy with now ex girlfriend Rihanna, and his subsequent guilty plea, to thank for that.
His commercial for the brand was pulled indefinitely following news of the highly publicized incident, but now reports state that the quick ad spot, which features a remake of his hit single “Forever,” has been pulled completely and all ties have been cut, which means he’ll most likely never be able to endorse a product for Wrigley Co. ever again.
For old times sake, continue reading to check out the commercial since you’ll never ever ever EVER see it on television ever again…

Lady Gaga has some ‘splaining to do! There’s an “unauthorized” quote floating around with her admitting to be a hermaphrodite and then a recent video was posted to YouTube of her accidentally flashing what looked to be her man balls to the audience at a concert. Both pieces of information seem a bit questionable but it still makes you wonder.
Anyway, the wacky pop star was spotted out and about walking the streets of Japan Friday night (Aug 7) with that f*ck boy blogger Perez Hilton. Gaga has a lot going on with the outfit and everything with it, but as far as her hair is concerned, homegirl looks like she got into a fight with cotton candy dye and lost.
Continue reading to peep the video of her apparently “flashing” concert goers and that seemingly fake quote where she “admits” to having both a penis and a vajayjay, or a “poon and a peener.” Her words, not ours!

Keyshia (pictured at the bottom getting done up before a photoshoot in Cleveland) has decided to shave the side of her head a la Cassie and don the look up with red stars just like her “Boobie.” Forget that whole matching tattoos mess. That sh*t is permanent! Hair grows back. Always.
Sidebar: We know Cassie is NOT the first person to do this, but it seems like after she did it everybody else shortly followed suit. We wonder who’s next…
Shout out to Necole Bitchie for the pic!

NBA star Shaquille O’Neal attended a press conference for his new television show, “Shaq Vs,” at the Loews Santa Monica Hotel Wednesday (Aug 5) in Santa Monica, CA. In the new ABC reality series, Shaq will take on Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in football, Michael Phelps in swimming, Serena Williams in tennis and other famous athletes in their respective sports. There will, of course, be negotiations of a handicap before the big man takes on his competitors; for instance, Michael Phelps may have to swim 2 or 3 laps for every lap that Shaq swims, just to be fair.
Shaq told USA Today he came up with the idea of the show as a way to train for his upcoming NBA season as a Cleveland Cavalier. He believes people would definitely be interested in the idea of an athlete playing another sport. According to USA Today, episodes will show O’Neal as he prepares for the challenges, hosts news conferences and spends time with needy kids before climaxing with the main event.
The show premieres on ABC next Tuesday, August 18th at 9/8c.
