| Chris Brown's Bodyguards Beat Down Photog? |
Original Date: May 6, 2008 @ 02:58PM A photographer for a Florida newspaper claims he was pummeled and robbed last night by R&B singer Chis Brown's bodyguards. The photog, Luis Santana, was at a lounge in St. Petersburg, FL., where Brown was accompanied by Rihanna, and was having a private birthday party. Santana was told by the venue's security that he could take photographs outside, according to the Tampa Bay Times. He claims when he snapped Chris Brown in an SUV, Brown's bodyguards chased him and forced him to the ground. One guard put his knee on Santana's jaw, and took his $3,000 camera. Police are investigating. Chris Brown rep was not immediately available for comment. Source: TMZ Chris and Rihanna sure do go everywhere together lol. Wonder why Chris had his B-day party in Florida...well that just happens to be where the Glow in the Dark Tour (featuring Rihanna) is right now. Today the concert stops in Miami. I'm guessing Chris will follow her to North Carolina later this week too, lol. (Permalink) |

| Chris Featured in RollingStone issue "Best Of Rock" |
Original Date: April 21, 2008 @ 09:05PM  Chris Brown was pegged early as the next Michael - or at least the next Usher - after his first single, the supersyncopated "Run It!" hit Number One in 2005. Four more Top Ten hits followed, but what really brought on the Jacko comparisons was Brown's dizzying performance at the 2007 MTV VMAs, where his Super Mario-like dance moves made Justin Timberlake "feel old" and (almost) made up for Britney Spears' catatonic opener. "When I was younger, I was in it just for girls," says Brown. "But as I got into it, I wanted to show people I could become a great artist." This fall, Brown will begin work on his third album. "I'll be almost twenty, so we can get a little dirty," he says. "But not R. Kelly dirty." BRIAN HIATT Source: Rollingstone.com ... issue available on newsstands now! (Permalink) |

Original Date: April 12, 2008 @ 01:56PM Elephant Man's Bad Boy Entertainment debut, Let's Get Physical, hit stores this Tuesday (April 8). In this SOHH exclusive, the dancehall star talks about his new project, album push backs and his hot collabo with Chris Brown. Elephant Man is famous for his high energy stage shows so it's only natural that he would release an album intended to get people dancing. "When you hear the album you can't stop moving," he said. "The album is just full of energy. So I said, Let's Get Physical, of course. That's the name that we'll use." Ele's Bad Boy debut was originally slated to hit stores last August but was pushed back due to clearance issues. "We had to get the clearance from Chris Brown and Rihanna and all of these people," he explained. "You don't want to put out the album and when you put it out you gonna have a problem. You want to make sure everything is good." The collabo with Chris Brown is called "Feel The Steam" and Ele is predicting that it will be a summer smash. He likens it to Nelly's "Hot In Here" and the Fabolous/Ne-Yo hit "Make Me Better." In the song, Chris sings, "Can you feel the steam/ make you want to scream/ shawty wanna leave with me/ I know that's what you need/ let me make your body sweat/ mama come and make your body wet." "Chris Brown is one of the most beloved by little teenagers," says Elephant Man. "The song is gonna do good in the clubs." In addition to appearances by Chris Brown and Rihanna, Let's Get Physical also features Diddy, Wyclef, Yung Joc, Mario Winans and Kat De Luna. SOURCE: SOHH (Permalink) |

Original Date: March 31, 2008 @ 09:07AM Chris Brown Denies Rihanna Relationship March 30, 2008, 2:43 AM EST LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Rihanna and Chris Brown both walked the orange carpet at the Kids' Choice Awards. Separately. "We're not in a relationship or anything," Brown told The Associated Press before Saturday's slime-filled ceremony. Rumors have been swirling for weeks the R&B singers are dating, but Brown was quick to squash such gossip, insisting he was single and Rihanna was just a friend. The 18-year-old "Kiss Kiss" crooner, clad in a custom-made orange hoodie emblazoned with a blingin' Nickelodeon logo, later collected a trophy for favorite male singer. Rihanna, 20, bypassed the press line before the awards ceremony, strutting down the carpet in a polka-dot corset top. Source: MSN.com (Permalink) |

| Re-release of EXCLUSIVE, DVD + New Single "Forever" |
Original Date: March 25, 2008 @ 07:01PM Insistently single singer adds tracks -- and possible DVD -- to reissue of latest album. Chris Brown is making his platinum-plus album Exclusive even more elite. The teen singer is releasing a repackaged version of the record within the next couple of months. The set will include some brand-new tracks -- one is the next single, "Forever" -- and, if he gets his way, a DVD. "It's very fortunate, my label wants me to repackage the album and release some new records," he explained to MTV Base while on his European tour last week. "I've been recording a lot of new records as well as having some songs that haven't been released yet that I can put on my repackaging. I might put my tour that I did in the States on my repackaging. I did a big tour in the States. I want to put that in the DVD part, add some of my videos on it." "Forever" was produced by Polow Da Don and is one of the cuts Brown laid down recently. Originally, the plan was to follow up his current single, "With You," with the Kanye West-featuring "Down," but the new material won out. The song was penned by Brown and his songwriting team, the Graffiti Artists. (Besides Chris Breezy, two other guys comprise the crew.) "We went into the studio, Polow gave me a beat, and I just started writing. His record is more of a European, techno, house-type feel," Brown recalled. "We wanted to give it that other side of crossover, and go a little bit to that pop realm. Hopefully, [I'll] be the Prince of Pop. I don't want to say I'm the King; I just hopefully can be the Prince of Pop." Brown's fans have certainly crowned him the King of the Young People. If you check out the online message boards, they talk about how talented he is, how cute he is, and lately, how deceptive he has been when it comes to his personal life. While out in Europe, C. Breezy responded to all the dating rumors about him and Rihanna. The singers have denied it for months, despite pictures of the two getting cozy at industry events, in island-resort swimming pools and in SUVs following shopping trips. Brown is sticking to his story: He said they are not a couple. "Me, personally, from a relationship standpoint, I am a single guy," he insisted to MTV Base. "I am definitely single. And I've been on my Web site and seeing how girls have been threatening me and saying I'm a liar, and I'm like, 'It's not even that.' The thing is, I have a close friend, but it's not like a relationship. I'm not trying to settle down. I'm only 18, so I'm just trying to live my life and have fun." Despite his comments, however, Brown and Rihanna were reportedly photographed leaving a London hotel together over the weekend. -By Shaheem Reid, with reporting by Jasmine Dotiwala Source: MTV.com (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown 'Not' With Rihanna |
Original Date: March 20, 2008 @ 08:38PM RNB star denies Rihanna relationship rumours... When MTV Base spoke to Chris Brown they just couldn't avoid the question on every teenage girl's lips... Is Chris dating pop sensation Rihanna? Well, Chris was quick to rubbish the rumours "as a relationship standpoint I am a single guy, I am definitely single". The young heartthrob, who's currently promoting his album Xclusive, is getting fed up of the accusations that are being fired at him left, right and centre "I've been on my website and seeing how girls have been threatening me and saying I'm a liar and I'm like it's not even that". So there you go, no need to worry girls, Chris still could be With You... however, Chris did mention that he has a certain 'friend' "I have a close friend but it's not like a relationship, I'm not trying to settle down, I'm only 18 so I'm just trying to live my life and have fun".

| Another Day, Another Drama, and Another Lawsuit |
Original Date: March 1, 2008 @ 09:22AM TAPPAHANNOCK -- A music producer who says he discovered Grammy Award nominee Chris Brown is suing the singer and his mother over a contract they signed almost six years ago. In the agreement dated March 12, 2002, Brown and his mother, Joyce Hawkins, engaged Warren M. Young as the "sole worldwide Exclusive Artist Manager" for Brown, who was 12 at the time. But Young maintains in papers filed in Essex County Circuit Court that he soon began "finding it increasingly difficult to make contact" with his clients. They eventually signed a management agreement with Zomba Label Group, a hip-hop and pop music company that also launched Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. Attempts to reach Zomba for comment were not successful. Young said Brown and his mother verbally agreed to pay him 25 percent of all of Brown's earnings. Young, who has worked in the music industry in New York and elsewhere, had returned home to Tappahannock where he heard the buzz about a child who was making a name for himself at church singing. He said he signed Brown soon after Brown's father invited him to their house to hear Brown sing. "It was no question," Young said he remembered thinking. "He was phenomenal. He was Michael Jackson all over again." Young says the contract put him and his company, Blue Boy Inc., in charge of developing Brown's talent. The company produced a demo recording of Brown singing a hip-hop version of the Michael Jackson song, "I Want To Be Where You Are," Young said. "The recording was just excellent. He was singing better then than he is now," Young said. Before Young could produce more material with Brown, he said Hawkins began shopping the demo to other producers, landing a contract with Zomba in December 2004. "They didn't give us a chance to breathe," he said of the singer and his mother. Brown and Hawkins "should have known that Blue Boy had been assigned all rights, title and interest in Brown's earnings," Young's suit says. Young filed his court complaint in 2005, seeking "no less than $350,000 as well as punitive damages." The suit originally included Zomba as a defendant, but Young's lawyer amended it April 18, 2006, to remove Zomba. Lawyers for Brown and his mother have filed court arguments that the 2002 contract is unenforceable because the amount of Brown's compensation is left blank in the document. They also argue that Young has no claim because Brown was too young at the time to be bound legally by an entertainment contract. The last activity in the case came in September when Young filed papers to switch lawyers representing him. "The case is pending," Court Clerk Gayle Ashworth said. No hearing date has been set.

| Step 1: No Air (Featuing Chris Brown) |
| Let Me Stake My Claim, Before It's Too Late |
Original Date: February 24, 2008 @ 10:34AM "..I don't care how this may sound, but you need to know right now. So, I might as well just come right out and tell you." Okay, now enough with the theatrics and song lyrics! Let me update you on everything. The site was down for well over 20 days, I was aware, but there was nothing I could do about it. Basically, our information was being held hostage until we coughed up a pretty penny. Well, all of that is now squared away. However, we have yet to transfer to a new server, but will be doing so within this upcoming week. The site ought to load faster, will be online 99.9% of the time, and just will be improved overall. I was on a roll before the site went down for such an extended period of time, and I was truly rehabilitating my focus and the direction of the site, but the downtime discouraged me. The news management system was exploited and hacked and until I find a quickfix solution the ability to comment has been disabled. When it will return, I am unsure. There is a bit of sad news involved in that as well; all of the user-created comment accounts were lost and there is no possible way to retrieve them. Back to the matter, the downtime gave me the break I needed to really think about what I want. I decided I am going to return full-force with a total revamping before the summer. I know, that may seem so distant, but keep in mind I am in my last year of high school and my continued education comes first. While on my spring break I plan on using my downtime to re-do quite a lot of the site (layout, sections, associated domains, etc..). I'm looking to rebuild the CBWeb conglomerate and will probably be looking to find new help since all of my help, with the exception of Whitney, has dwindled away. When the time comes I will inform you of what I am looking for and the requirements and whatnot. Also, I just wanted to inform you that I recently moved to a new living space, and right now the internet connection is less than exceptable. I was promised by the management company that it should be overhauled within a 60 day period. When that occurs I will return to my regular workstation (I'm on my notebook that I hate with a strong passion) and will be able to rip television shows (when we moved I had to return my DVR with all of the unripped stuff I wanted to upload), scan images, and whatever else I used to do when we initially started our run as the biggest Chris Brown fansite. Now, do not get me wrong, we still are the biggest, but too much is not enough. I still have high expectations of myself, the visitors, Chris Brown, and the site. The sky is the limit, and we've only just left the ground within the 3 years of being open. I just want everyone to be in the know. I am going to regain the edge and rebuild the reputation. I can no longer ride on how it was in the beginning. It is time to make a new beginning. No more excuses. I think I'm ready now. -- Dominique ps -- If you need to get a hold of me, the best way is to e-mail me at "dominiquehouston@gmail.com", but please, make it worth my read. Do NOT e-mail me telling me how much you love Chris, want to have his kids, that you're his wife, and stuff like that -- because we all know you aren't. <3. (Permalink) |
| Love brewing between Rihanna and Chris Brown? |
Original Date: February 24, 2008 @ 10:24AM Washington, Feb 25: They might insist on being called as friends, but Rihanna and Chris Brown’s closeness shows that something else is brewing between the two. On Feb 10 at Grammys after-party, Chris Brown had said that he and the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker were just friends. “We're just friends... We hang out," Us magazine quoted him, as saying then. But two days later they were spotted walking hand-in-hand into a private room at L. A. hot spot Les Deux to celebrate Rihanna’s 20th birthday party. After the crowd – including guests Kanye West and Wilmer Valderrama – belted out "Happy Birthday," a witness revealed that Brown grabbed her and then kissed her. "Chris stood up and serenaded her with his own version, and she was beaming. He grabbed her when the song was over and kissed her,” the source said. The source added that aside from Brown's friendly dance-off with Valderrama that night, he and Rihanna "constantly had their hands all over each other and were rarely apart."

| STLtoday: Chris Brown |
Original Date: February 1, 2008 @ 09:20AM Usher needs to watch his back -- his heir apparent is here in the increasingly dynamic Chris Brown. Brown’s nearly sold-out concert at the Scottrade Center Thursday night was a tour-de-force of spectacular showmanship for the still-emerging young artist. And he didn’t even need the high-wattage star power of surprise guest Nelly, who came on at the end of the 90-minute set, to help make that happen. To accept all this, one must first give Brown a pass in the singing department. Brown’s voice is pleasing without being deeply soulful or showy, but he seemed to not call on it so much in concert. Most of the music was pre-recorded as well, with only a drummer and DJ on stage (the rules of what’s acceptable in concert long ago changed). Brown, otherwise a consummate live entertainer, had enough going for him elsewhere. In paratrooper-inspired gear, he was memorably lowered onto the stage like Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible" for "Wall to Wall," the first single from his latest CD "Exclusive." The frills, played out over a bi-level set, included lasers, pyro, costumes, and creative use of video projection, including an on-stage camera he played to that cast him in extreme close-up. He even used holograms to conjure up some of his recording partners – Rihanna for their "Umbrella" remix, Lil’ Wayne for "Gimme That," and T-Pain for "Kiss Kiss." Brown, a supreme and fluid dancer, also used the hologram to face off against himself in an ‘80s dance battle (His dancers included both children and St. Louis native John Silver). All the extras helped since Brown heavily relied on lesser-known album cuts such as "Damage," "Help Me," "I’ll Call Ya," and "Picture Perfect." Best of all was the special, separate stage set up at the rear of the arena floor. There, Brown and two male dancers hoisted by cables nearly defied gravity on a rotating, tilting circular platform. The effect, played out to "Lottery" and "Take You Down," was tremendous. Nelly, who rarely pops in onstage during others’ concerts here, joined Brown and Bow Wow, one of Brown’s support acts, during a shirtless rendition of Nelly’s "Hot in Herre" and "Grillz." Bow Wow, meanwhile, remains more heartthrob than ace performer. But his star power and certain amounts of enthusiasm and personality got him through songs such as "Outta My System," "Let Me Hold You," "Like You," and his verse on "I Think They Like Me." Bow Wow went it alone on his hit "Girlfriend," a song he recorded with Omarion for their joint "Face Off" CD, though Omarion has been popping in on some dates. Bow Wow also joined Brown on their hit "Shortie Like Mine." Well-received teen rapper Soulja Boy Tell’em also opened, and brought with him party-happy anthem, "Crank That (Soulja Boy)." He also demonstrated the song’s trademark dance, which gets sillier with each viewing. At song’s end, Soulja Boy brought out a friend, fellow "ringtone rapper" Jibbs, for a snippet of "Chain Hang Low." Shop Boyz, whose time in the spotlight seems to have deservedly passed, performed its smash "Party Like a Rock Star." SOURCE: STLtoday.com (Permalink) |

| Flo Rida holds tight to No. 1, but Brown closes in |
Original Date: January 27, 2008 @ 11:10AM NEW YORK (Billboard) - Flo Rida's "Low" continues to reign supreme on the Billboard Hot 100 for a fifth week. The tracks at Nos. 2 and 3 on the singles chart -- Alicia Keys' "No One" and Timbaland's "Apologize" featuring OneRepublic -- remain in those positions for a third consecutive week, not posing much of a challenge to "Low." But there's a new contender for the crown in the form of Chris Brown's "With You," which rises from No. 6 to No. 4 and is the fastest-growing track at digital outlets and on radio. The song sold 100,000 downloads. Fergie's "Clumsy" rests at No. 5 on the Hot 100, as another Brown song, "Kiss Kiss" featuring T-Pain, drops from fourth position to No. 6 and Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music" jumps from No. 13 to No. 7, marking her seventh top 10 ranking on the chart. Sean Kingston's "Take You There" is up from No. 10 to No. 8, while Finger Eleven's "Paralyzer" drops two rungs to No. 9. Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" rounds out the top 10 as it moves from eleventh slot to No. 10. Country artist Chris Cagle's "What Kinda Gone" is the Hot 100's top debut at No. 94. Just below, Bruce Springsteen hits the chart for the first time since 2005, and the 25th time in his career, as "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" opens at No. 95.

| With 'Exclusive,' Chris Brown's poppin' up all over |
Original Date: January 27, 2008 @ 11:09AM It may have taken longer than expected, but teen R&B sensation Chris Brown's pop domination certainly seems like it's finally taking hold. This week, Brown has two singles from his album "Exclusive" (Jive) in the Billboard Top 10 - the former No. 1 "Kiss Kiss" with T-Pain at No. 4 and the climbing "With You" at No. 6 - and "No Air," his duet with Jordin Sparks at No. 69. On many radio stations, including hits juggernaut Z100 in New York, where those songs occupy Nos. 7-9, this week, it's starting to seem like he's on all the time. A fourth single featuring Brown, the harder-edged "Get Like Me" from rapper David Banner, is also starting to pick up steam, while his song "Poppin'" with Jay Biz is still getting enough airplay after six months to make Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Recurrents chart. Can a re-release of Brown's "Wall to Wall," which hopped on the charts after being leaked to radio last summer, be far behind? SOURCE: NewsDay.com (Permalink) |

| Rapper Laughs Off Rumor: 'Chris Is Like My Brother' |
Original Date: January 17, 2008 @ 09:21PM "Phlegm-gate"? "Bow Weezy vs. Chris Breezy"? Was the self-proclaimed "Prince of Rap" spitting more than just rhymes on Saturday night? On Tuesday morning (January 15), rumors of another Bow Wow backstage tantrum hit the Net, and this time bloggers put his Exclusive Holiday Tour mate Chris Brown, right in the middle of it. As rumor had it, Bow was so upset with some technical difficulties he experienced during his Saturday concert at Dallas' American Airlines Center that afterward, he had a very conspicuous, verbal confrontation with Brown in the arena hallway. Citing sabotage, Bow was then said to have spit in Brown's face while being pulled away by onlookers. From teen idol to the next Tupac? On Tuesday afternoon, Bow and Chris literally laughed off the talk. "Man, listen," Bow said via phone while visiting a mall in Tampa, Florida, where he and Brown performed Monday night. "I just got off the phone with Chris. My mom called me and told me about the rumor. I called him and told him, and he started laughing. We was dying [with laughter]. "Anybody who knows me or anybody who's been around me knows I'm not that kind of person," he continued. "I [felt bad] for New York [reality-TV star Tiffany Pollard] when she got spit on during 'Flavor of Love.' A wise man once taught me, the most vicious thing you can do is spit on somebody. It's just a rumor. It's a big rumor. I would never do that. That's not being a man, that's a sissy act." Brown's rep was unable to be reached by press time. Read full article.. (Permalink) |

The album is still in the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Total sales for the album are now 1 million +. "Kiss Kiss" is still hot on the charts as well at #4 on the Hot 100. And the current single "With You" is tearin up the charts, now at #6 and also this week's airplay gainer. At this rate Chris could possibly have another #1 song in the making.

| Fun Fearless Males 2008: Chris Brown |
Original Date: January 17, 2008 @ 10:04AM (From the February 08 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine) Chris Brown has accomplished more at the age of 18 than most guys twice that old. He’s already had two chart-topping hip-hop albums and starred in the movies Stomp the Yard and This Christmas, and he just wrapped up a U.S. tour in which he displayed his dancing abilities to mesmerizing effect. And as we found out in this interview, his talents don’t stop there. WHAT’S SOMETHING THAT WOULD SURPRISE PEOPLE ABOUT YOU? “I have eight tattoos. I started getting them at the age of 13. Most moms wouldn’t be cool with that, but mine didn’t mind as long as they stood for something positive. I will probably wait to get more, because I don’t want to start looking scary.” DO YOU HAVE ANY HIDDEN TALENTS? “I can draw really well. I almost always have a notebook with me, and it’s filled with drawings of people, cartoons, and graffiti.” EVER HAD ANY CRAZY FAN RUN-INS? “I was performing onstage, and a group of girls pulled me into the crowd. By the time I made it back onto the stage, they had pulled off most of my clothes!” YOU’VE BEEN COMPARED TO A YOUNG MICHAEL JACKSON. HAVE YOU MET HIM? “Yes, and I was starstruck. At the last Video Music Awards, part of my dance was influenced by his moves. It was the most nervous I’ve ever been in my life, because I kept thinking, What if I mess up and he’s watching?” Source: Cosmopolitan.com (Permalink) |

Original Date: January 3, 2008 @ 11:37AM TMZ:R&B superstar Chris Brown is touring all over the country, but the guy who designed his sets says the "Kiss Kiss" singer forgot one destination -- the bank!  In a lawsuit filed in federal court on Christmas Eve, John Troxtel -- who has designed concert sets for Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Michael Jackson -- says he was paid for some of his design work, but "extra work was required and requested." Troxtel alleges that an oral agreement was reached but when it came to time to collect, the touring company refused. Troxtel is suing for breach of contract and unjust enrichment and is seeking damages in excess of $1,000,000. Calls to Brown's reps were not immediately returned. (Permalink) |

He says, "Dudes have bought $15,000 bottles of champagne and brought it over to me. I just give it to the older people, like, 'Y'all can have that, I don't drink.

| Ford's Syncs Partnership With Pop Phenom Chris Brown Shifts Into Drive |
Original Date: December 7, 2007 @ 11:47AM Ford Motor Company's partnership with Jive Recording Pop Phenom Chris Brown has shifted into drive as the Ford sponsored Up Close & Personal Holiday Exclusive Tour Powered by SYNC kicks off in Cincinnati, Ohio today. The partnership is a chance for Ford to take its latest technology on the road and ultimately integrate some of the key features of the technology into the tour in a way that has never been done. Radio and Television advertisements featuring Chris Brown that highlight SYNC will also be a part of the alliance, which represents the first time that Ford is targeting such a young urban audience with a deeply integrated experience. "The idea of bringing Chris Brown and Ford's SYNC Technology together was a no-brainer for us," said Crystal Greene, Sponsorships & Alliances Marketing Manager for Ford. "We think that SYNC is the hottest in car technology and Chris Brown is one of the hottest on the music scene, so it was an easy blend of the two. The integration of SYNC into this tour is about reaching out to this audience in a way that is natural to them. His fans love technology; they love Chris Brown, so why not capture them in a manner that is appealing to them." Through the partnership with Ford, Chris Brown will appear in radio spots and television broadcast advertisements, focused on Ford's industry-exclusive technology. The radio ads have already kicked off in select markets and the television ads will premiere in January 2008. Additionally, Ford has launched an official website, www.syncwithchrisbrown.com where fans will have a chance to learn more about SYNC, Chris Brown and the tour. Highlights of the site include exclusive interviews with the Chris Brown team and the chance to interact with Chris. There will also be a national sweepstakes where one lucky fan can win an all-new fully loaded 2008 Ford Focus, customized by Hip Hop Guru of car customization Funkmaster Flex by simply visiting the site and registering to win. "With music having such an influence on my life and part of SYNC being about music and the ability to connect, I thought this technology and the opportunity to partner with Ford was exciting," said Chris Brown. You can literally access your music and talk on your cell simply by calling out the technologies voice commands. By visiting www.syncwithchrisbrown.com, I hope my fans will check it out for themselves and register to win a new Ford." SYNC Features: Voice-activated, hands-free calling: Simply press the “Push to Talk” button on the steering wheel, and then say the name of the person you wish to call. SYNC will automatically connect with the names in the mobile phone’s contact list. Uninterrupted connections: No need to hang up in the middle of a cell phone call as you enter your vehicle. Simply touch the Telephone Button on the steering wheel, and SYNC will instantly connect to a Bluetooth phone. Audible text messages: SYNC will convert text messages from your phone to audio and read it out loud. The system is even smart enough to translate such commonly used text messaging expressions as “LOL” andJ. You can choose to reply from any of 15 predefined responses. Advanced calling features: SYNC includes the same features offered on mobile phones, including caller ID, call waiting, conference calling, a caller log, a list of contacts, a signal strength icon, and a phone battery charge icon – all conveniently located on the radio’s display screen. Voice-activated music: Browse the music collection on your digital media player or USB drive by genre, album, artist and song title using simple voice commands, such as “Play genre Rock,” “Play ,” or “Play Track .” Instant voice recognition: SYNC’s advanced voice recognition technology means when you’re ready to use your phone or digital music player, just hit the push-to-talk button and speak the simple voice commands. Ring tone support: For supported phones, SYNC will play personal ring tones. If you’ve configured unique ring tones to identify specific callers, SYNC will automatically play those, too.

| Chris Talks About Getting Arrested, How He Looks Naked And More... |
Original Date: December 1, 2007 @ 07:14PM LOL... You know you want to read this! Here's a good interview from Blender magazine, make sure you read the whole thing: Who Does Chris Brown Think He Is? The dancing 18-year-old R&B heartthrob knows how to “Run It!,” but he used to be a nerdy straight-A student. Set phasers on stun as we boldly ask … Your self-portrait looks kind of scary and freaky, Chris. I drew myself in a goofy persona: a reject, a nerd. Is that how you see yourself, as a reject? Well, it’s how other people don’t see me. I try to be different from everybody. Did you wear glasses as a kid, nerd? I had glasses from sixth grade to the eighth grade, for astigmatism. I used to get headaches all the time. What did your 10th-grade report card say? A’s, A’s, A’s. Straight A’s, all through kindergarten, elementary school, middle school … What were your best subjects? Math and science. You really were a nerd. Did kids give you shit about being smart? No. ’Cause I’d beat ’em up. Who was the last person you punched? I used to fight in the hood in Virginia. Gang fights—not “gang fights,” but fights with people: “Man, forget them!” “Forget you!” Boom! Boom! Boom! I wouldn’t brag, but I didn’t lose a lot. Have you ever been arrested? Yeah, but it’s not on my record. I got arrested for fleeing from the police on a little minibike. When I was living in New York, my homeboys wanted to ride through the park. The police caught us, but all they did was take the bikes from us, so we didn’t get in trouble. It’s a typical Friday night at 11 p.m. What are you doing? Looking for some girls. [Laughs.] If you could make one apology, what would it be? I’d apologize to God for all my sins. But you’re only 18. What vices do you have? Basketball, my music and women. What personal habit do you have that other people find annoying? I like picking the nails off my toes. Pretty annoying! What would you like written on your gravestone? Chris Brown, the horniest man alive! [Laughs.] Check it, I’m lyin’. Probably, Here lies a legend. What do you look like naked? Pretty damn good. How would you characterize your taste in sex? I’ll save that for the lady of my life. What do you refuse to eat? Chitlins. My grandma used to cook them, and she’d be like, “These are good, boy!” I never would eat them. They smelled like feces. Dogs or cats? Dogs! A dog is more manly. But cats, they clean up after themselves. All they need is a litter box. Underwear or commando? Underwear. I wear a new pair of drawers every day. I won’t wash my drawers and put ’em back on. I just throw them away. If we drug-tested you, what would we find? Nothing. Just urine. I don’t really take drugs. I don’t drink. My uncle died from drinking. Alcohol can hurt you in many ways. It hurts, like, females that get drunk at a party, then pass out and dudes take advantage of them. Typical high school story — not from me! If we talked to an ex-girlfriend, what would she say about you? That she fucked up! -Tim Grierson Blender.com (Permalink) |

| The Latest Update on Sales |
| Brown Is the New Gold |
Original Date: November 26, 2007 @ 07:20PM This is the article from the latest Newsweek...on stands now He sings. He dances. He's in a new movie. Why an 18-year-old kid may be pop music's last great hope. Teens are hanging out the third-story windows of the Los Angeles Leadership Academy charter school waving frantically. If they didn't look so ecstatic, you'd swear they were trying to escape from a blazing fire. But instead of yelling for help, they're screaming "Chris, up here! Chris!" The object of their flaming desire is singer Chris Brown, 18, who's posing for photos on the school's basketball court. The 6-foot-2 entertainer glides with amazing ease around the court—rolling the ball across his shoulder blades from one fingertip to the other, busting dance moves that seem as natural as breathing, singing Elvis's "Jailhouse Rock" to the bouncing beat of the ball. He's a showman, the likes of whom we haven't seen since "Thriller"-era Michael Jackson. Which is why everyone in the school—rockers, rappers, punks, R&Bers, dweebs and, yes, even teachers who claim to be wrangling students—can't help but ogle him, and why one student on the third floor screams, "Billie Jean's not your lover, but I will be!" A teacher pulls her in and slams the window shut. That's a switch—Brown's long and somewhat odd association with Jackson usually opens windows for him. When the R&B/hip-hop/pop artist performed a medley of "Billie Jean" and two singles off his new record "Exclusive" at this year's Video Music Awards, it was the most- talked-about moment of the show—aside from the unveiling of Britney's jelly roll. "Whatever Chris Brown just did reminded me of how I'm getting older," said Justin Timberlake, all of 26, after Brown's performance. The music world wasn't the only place that took notice of Brown's leap from teen heartthrob to budding superstar. Sony Pictures offered him a three-picture deal (not including his first feature role in "This Christmas," which opens Wednesday). Even Jackson came out of hiding to call Brown "a bright and shining star." Just like that, the King of Pop's dusty throne now has a foreseeable heir, which is no small feat in an ailing music industry that yields plenty of iTunes sensations and precious few icons. "Of course I think the comparisons are great and flattering," says Brown, smiling, flashing a row of straight teeth where there were recently braces. "Nowadays, we don't have a Michael like we did back in the day, or a James Brown, or an Elvis; artists people really go crazy for. I'd love to turn into that, but I only just started." Brown was doing what he always does with his free time—rapping and dancing—at his dad's gas station in Tappahannock, Va., when local talent scouts discovered him six years ago. He was self-taught then, and still is. His dancing—a sort of soul infused acrobatics that defy the laws of physics and basic anatomy—feels completely spontaneous. The same is true of his music, even though it's highly produced. It's not that Brown's the best singer out there, but he's certainly the most exciting. "Exclusive," his second album, came out two weeks ago and it's already surpassed early sales of his three-times platinum debut. And now that he's of legal age, Brown says he can sing about "adult things" like "making love" on his new CD. Brown's never really played into the role of squeaky-clean teen idol: he's tattooed up and down both arms—Jesus on one side, a skull and halo on the other. But he's also never played street thug to gain fans. Like Jackson, he's used fancy footwork and dazzling performances to pull in all camps, and it really does seem like Brown is only just getting started. But just how plausible is mega success in a music industry that banks on "American Idols" and singles where the production, not the artist, drive the song? Record labels are hoping he'll bust the theory that catalog artists—the ones whose albums will sell 25 years from now—are a thing of the past. It's a lot to shoulder, so Brown is focusing on—well, his arms. "I'll stop getting tattoos," he says, pulling down the sleeves of his sweat jacket. "I don't want to scare off my audience. But I did just get a new one. See it? Behind my ear?" And right behind his giant diamond stud is a smattering of blue stars. When Brown takes his body art on the road for his "Exclusive" tour (it kicks off Dec. 6), the audience will see more than stars. Brown has more facial hair now than he did two years ago, more beef on his lanky frame and a lower voice—though he's only just moved out of his mother's Virginia home and all the way down the street. "Like all moms, she's, like, 'I don't want my little baby to grow up.' It's, like, 'Mom! Whatever.' I guess because I started out so young, I have to remind everyone around me I'm not 15 anymore." Says the boy who would be king. © Newsweek, Inc. (Permalink) |

I have mixed emotions about the particular single choice but happy about it nonetheless. The album is dope I must say, it's got some variety, so I think I judged too quickly. It's nice to see the "crunked out" Chris but it's also nice to see layers every once in a while. The video fits perfectly with the song and I liked it a lot!

Original Date: November 20, 2007 @ 03:47PM Nickelodeon has inked a deal with actor-singer Chris Brown for an unscripted pilot revolving around his backup dancers. The half-hour project, which Brown will executive produce, follows 11-year-old Scooter and 9-year-old Miles as they tour with Brown, who also will appear on-camera. Brown's manager, Tina Davis, also will executive produce the untitled project, which is being produced by World of Wonder. The pilot will air as a special on Nickelodeon, but the airdate has not been determined. This marks Brown's first foray into producing and is his first television deal. He recently released his sophomore album, "Exclusive." His first album, "Chris Brown," earned him two Grammy nominations. He also was named male artist of the year, new artist of the year and artist of the year at last year's Billboard Music Awards. As an actor, Brown made his feature debut in "Stomp the Yard" and next appears on the big screen in "This Christmas," which opens Wednesday. Other credits include Fox's "The O.C."

Original Date: November 11, 2007 @ 10:27AM A lot needs to be done around the site and I will have a lot of time off come Monday and Tuesday. I have a LOT of media to post from last week, and months ago that I am going to sit down and make myself post. I have press clippings to add, sections to update, and a whole lot more than I need to do. I have hundreds of e-mails to read and respond to. To put it simply, I've been slacking and I'm in over my head so I have to do more damage control. I have a masterplan and will be executing it to reclaim the glory and honor and integrity that I, along with those that have aided me over a stressful two year period, have created. I'm no longer asking you to "bare with me". I'm telling you to stay on my ass about the stuff that you deserve and that I owe you as the webmaster/administrator of Chris Brown Web. It's time I thought about the thousands of visitors, all over the world, that rely on me to keep them in touch with all things Christopher Maurice Brown.

| Kanye West Put A Stop To Chris Brown's Graduation Plans |
Original Date: November 9, 2007 @ 07:06AM Brown, who recently shot video for 'With You,' changed new LP title at 'Ye's request. If Chris Brown had his way, his latest album — the recently released Exclusive — would've been named Graduation instead. But according to the fleet-footed dancer, once Kanye West caught wind of the potentially overlapping LP titles, he ... er ... politely requested Brown consider renaming his project. "At first I was naming it Graduation because I was 18," Brown explained to MTV News. "But then Kanye was like, 'I heard Chris is naming his album Graduation. I'm naming mine ... .' [He laughs.] I was like, I'll change mine because I respect his reason more with [The] College Dropout and Late Registration, all that, so it kind of went with his. So I was like, I don't need mine to be Graduation, you know, I'll change mine to Exclusive, because I'll make an album exclusively for my fans." Brown wasn't so exclusive when it came to putting the project together — the Virginia native worked with Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Will.I.Am and other guests to make it happen. But the singer's next single, the Stargate-produced "With You," features Brown solo. According to him, the matching video — which he has already shot — also showcases Brown more singularly than his previous clips. "I co-directed it as well," he said of the video. "And it shows me more solo. Like, it shows the grown side of Chris — it doesn't show the kiddie side. 'Cause with this album, I wanted to blend, I wanted to do all different visuals of me. The first [video] 'Wall to Wall,' the acting, the vampires, the spookiness, then you go to 'Kiss, Kiss,' that had the little goofy part, now this one is solo, the main [performer] is me. Me freestyle dancing — just showing people me naturally, not a choreographed routine, just me dancing and showing you what I'm capable of. But at the same time, just having fun with the camera, and just one-on-one time with me and my audience." Brown's label, Jive Records, recently announced plans for the singer to head out on a co-headlining tour with Bow Wow beginning December 6. The tour — which will also feature Soulja Boy, Lil Mama, Shop Boyz and Sean Kingston on select dates — is slated to run through Christmas and end two weeks into the new year. But Brown said to expect the tour to extend beyond the holiday season and the States as well. "We doing it for the down South side [with the lineup], but me and Sean Kingston, he got it for like the south, south, in Jamaica," Brown joked. "And then I got it for Virginia, so we gonna go crazy. It's like a holiday tour, but I'm taking it worldwide. It was just fortunate that it started on the holiday, but once it starts, it's gonna go worldwide." (Permalink) |

Original Date: November 7, 2007 @ 09:27PM  Two rappers were denied entry to Chris Brown's album release party last night -- and so they did what any denied rapper would do -- tore the place up in protest!TMZ caught Juelz Santana and Jim Jones (the singer, not the cult leader) trying to get into a party at Tenjune. No word on why they were shut out -- both artists have collaborated with Brown. Cops soon arrived at the club's request and Tenjune shut itself down, leaving stars like Tyrese, Lil Mama, Sean Kingston -- and Brown himself -- with nowhere to celebrate temporarily, though the club resumed business a short time later, as it always does on Tuesday nights. -TMZ (Permalink) |

| USA Today "EXCLUSIVE" Review |
Original Date: November 7, 2007 @ 11:11AM Chris Brown's time may have arrived with Exclusive, which Steve Jones suggests is a solid demonstration of the young R&B star's "star power." Chris Brown, Exclusive: * * * 1/2 Stars Chris Brown created a sensation two years ago with a self-titled debut that signaled he was more than just another passing teen singer. With a megawatt smile and charisma by the pound to augment smooth vocals and equally smooth dance moves, Brown has genuine star power. On his second album, the lanky 18-year-old shows he has the goods to back it up. He uses his charm to warm the iciest model or woo the sweetest girl-next-door (and her skeptical dad). T-Pain, Kanye West, Big Boi, will.i.am and Lil’ Wayne complement, but never steal, his shine. Whether it’s an edgy dance track or seductive ballad, Brown puts himself in exclusive company. — Steve Jones >> Download: Kiss Kiss, Picture Perfect, Hold Up, Damage, Wall to Wall >> Skip: Help Me SOURCE: USAToday.com (Permalink) |
| Brown Brings New York To A Standstill |
Original Date: November 7, 2007 @ 11:09AM R&B star CHRIS BROWN brought New York's Times Square to a standstill on Tuesday (November 06, 2007) when he planned an ill-fated walkabout. The hitmaker was promoting his new album, Exclusive, on MTV's TRL show when he agreed to join thousands of screaming fans gathered on the street below the studios. Supported by burly bodyguards, Brown got as far as the door to the studio before his handlers decided the meet-and-greet was a bad idea. He says, "I got to the door and it was like, `OK, I'm gonna walk out,' but then they (fans) started breaking the barricade and they was like, `Forget the police.' "I was like, `OK, I think I'd rather be intact bodily.'" The Times Square walkabout was abruptly cancelled. LMFAO! Crazy fans. Gotta love it. SOURCE: WENN (Permalink) |

| Exclusive (P)review |
Original Date: October 30, 2007 @ 09:21PM Mr. Man-ish himself, Chris Brown, hits us with his latest Exclusive album, which is scheduled for release next month Tuesday (November 6th), it features guest appearances, as well as stellar productions, from the likes of T-Pain, will.i.am, Swizz Beatz, and Timbaland just to name a few. The album starts off languid with consistent blandness. I swayed this opinion towards the starting of a luring "You," which gave off this Prince vibe to me, so ultimately, this was my favorite. I wasn't necessarily floored or in awe about the latter ... BUT I did enjoy it. I was lackadaisical until "I'll Call Ya," (after hearing the snippet previously) I was quite interested in hearing the actual full to this, then I relapsed. Overall Chris Brown's Exclusive sounded like unmastered kiddie-Pop and not exactly what I semi-predicted. I was really rooting for Chris, I was. But I'm more so looking forward to Face Off at this moment. Click Here To Preview Exclusive On MTV's The Leak ps. Love CB, loved a couple of tracks, and this review is just my opinion so don't take it so serious (you should still go out and support Chris). Ether it is MTV or my headphones, I'll have to get the album myself, cos most of the songs sound unmastered to me. pps. I was being sarcastic about looking forward to Face Off! (Permalink) |

| "With You" Review + Download |
Original Date: October 22, 2007 @ 03:12AM With Brown's recent material not siting well as expected, I feel he tries a more susceptible approach this time with his supposed third single 'With You'. The Stargate-produced single starts off with a stringy guitar ballad, which compliments Brown's voice potently, I found the lyrics solid and what we should be hearing from Brown this time around. This sounds like the work of Ne-Yo, if I'm not mistaken, I wonder if he helped with production. Overall, this could very well be single material if everything else falls into play (video, promotion, etc.) The only con I can foresee is the hook. is voice tends to drag and can be a bit annoying at times.

| USA Weekend: Chris Brown runs it |
Original Date: October 21, 2007 @ 03:58AM The R&B teen heartthrob and virtuoso dancer aspires to a "positive image." By Matt Hendrickson Chris Brown was one of those rambunctious kids growing up, always into something: karate, gymnastics, art. More than anything, he wanted to play in the NBA. In fact, baller Allen Iverson grew up not far from Brown's 'hood in Tappahannock, Va. Then one day, during halftime at a local basketball game, Brown started crooning along to an R&B jam playing on the loudspeaker. "The music was on, and I just started singing," he says. "All the girls mobbed me. They were like, 'Ooh, he can sing!' I remember the guys got mad -- I was stealing their game." After his demo tape made its way to Jive Records, Brown was invited to the label's New York headquarters. "He came in and danced on our conference room table," says Barry Weiss, the president and CEO of Zomba Label Group. "Everyone just looked at each other and said, 'Wow, [this kid's going to be] a superstar.' " It didn't take him long. Brown's 2005 self-titled debut album was nominated for two Grammys, and it spawned five Top 10 hits, including "Run It!," which spent an impressive five weeks at No. 1. Now comes "Exclusive," Brown's sophomore CD. It's slick R&B with a splash of edge. "People can rock to this record," Brown says of his Nov. 6 release, which was recorded over six months in Miami, New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles. A-list collaborators include the Underdogs, who were behind the Dreamgirls soundtrack, as well as T-Pain, who produced Brown's most recent single, "Kiss Kiss." "It was all about finding the right vibe," says Brown, explaining why he moved around so much. "I get bored easily." One of the tracks that he's most excited about is "Tho'd," in which Brown pays homage to "Go-Go," the bass drum-heavy funk that had its origins in the clubs of Washington, D.C. Pioneered by Chuck Brown (no relation), Go-Go never caught on outside the Beltway, a fact that avid fans of the music can't believe. "Go-Go should have been huge," the singer says animatedly. "I feel that it's my duty to bring this music to a wider audience. I defy anyone to sit still when they hear it." Unlike many young pop stars, Brown, 18, isn't obsessed with thug culture and X-rated encounters. He wants to maintain a wholesome image and says he'd never do anything "where I'm disrespecting somebody." That attitude doesn't surprise his mother, Joyce Hawkins, who ran a day-care center. "Chris claims we went to church six days a week," she says, laughing at the thought of it. "But I taught him respect. You don't need to be overly sexual to make them love you." When Brown wasn't playing "big brother," he studied Michael Jackson clips, mimicking the choreography and the theatricality of videos like "Thriller" and "Smooth Criminal." "Michael was such a visual artist," he says. "I want that quality in my music." With his prodigious talent, boyish good looks and precision dancing, Brown is being touted as the next Usher or Justin Timberlake. His dance influences include tap, jazz, stepping and krumping. "I never lost a dance-off," he says matter-of-factly. "I know how to get down." Timberlake would agree. Following Brown's performance at the VMAs in September, the Male Artist of the Year told the audience: "Nobody likes to be reminded that they're getting older. And whatever Chris Brown just did reminded me how much I'm getting older, 'cause ... damn." So just how does he stay on the straight and narrow? "By having the right people around me and being my own individual," Brown says. "I was never a follower, the guy who wanted to do what everyone else was doing. I want to be a positive influence." Fast facts on Chris Brown • His hit songs: "Run It!," "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)," "Say Goodbye" and "Wall to Wall" • Big-screen roles: Stomp the Yard and the upcoming This Christmas • Used to sing in the shower: "Candy Girl by New Edition," and "Pony" by Ginuwine • Fave flicks: "300," for its "raw visual effects." And "Superbad": "That movie's hilarious." His tour starts in early December. (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown's 'Christmas' Gift: Check Out An Exclusive Clip From The Flick! |
Original Date: October 17, 2007 @ 08:35PM The singer/actor wins over Columbus Short and other co-stars with a smooth rendition of a classic song. He's already conquered the worlds of music and dance, and now MTV News has the first look as Chris Brown brings both to the silver screen for his first starring movie role, in next month's family drama "This Christmas." When we visited the set of the movie earlier this year, we found an energetic Brown working hard to make a dent in Hollywood. Now that he's given us an early holiday surprise with this exclusive clip, fans can get an idea of whether he'll be able to bring it on the big screen. "I'm singing some old-school songs, and hopefully I do justice to them," he said at the time. "One is called 'Try a Little Tenderness,' and of course there's Donny Hathaway's 'This Christmas.' ... It's been a good time and a great adventure, just to tackle those songs and try to have fun with them." In the clip, Baby emerges onstage at a nightclub, surprising several members of his family, including troublemaking big brother Quentin (Idris Elba, who also appeared in "The Reaping"). Although the group initially wants to rescue him from the spotlight, Baby wins them over with a smooth rendition of "Try a Little Tenderness," a classic song that has been performed by everyone from Bing Crosby to Tina Turner. Brown, who previously had a blink-and-you-missed-it cameo in "Stomp the Yard," once again shares the screen with friend and "Stomp" star Columbus Short. The film tells the story of a large Los Angeles family whose members have headed off in various directions over the years, but suddenly find themselves together at home for their first shared holiday in a long time. Brown plays Michael "Baby" Whitfield, the affectionately nicknamed youngest member of the clan who is hiding his secret desire to sing. "I'm the youngest on this set, period," Brown said when he was shooting the flick, which he hopes will become a holiday-viewing tradition along the lines of "A Christmas Story." "Everybody else in here is like 20 and older, so I am feeling like the little baby. Which is funny, because I actually am 'Baby' in the movie — and I feel like a baby." "This Christmas" opens on November 21 and, if it can manage as big an opening as "Stomp," who knows how far Hollywood newbie Chris Brown will go. "Yo, they need to put me in a sci-fi film!" he previously said of his future plans. "I'd like to be a mass murderer [villain] in a sci-fi movie. Let's go all the way!" Source: MTV.com (Permalink) |

Original Date: October 13, 2007 @ 04:06PM Here's another exclusive message from Chris' mother, Joyce Hawkins, regarding the rumor about Chris impregnating a 33 year old woman: "Yes, Chris was in New Orleans, but he left the same night after the show. He never went to a celebrity party. He headed to the next city on a tour bus for a show along with his Aunt Christine. I'm so disappointed about this, and I say this because I was with him. Chris and his entourage left me in New Orleans, and I caught a flight back to Virginia. I know my son is not perfect, and yes, he is going to fall sometimes, but we all do. Just be sure when you say something, don't lie about it. Keep supporting Chris! Things like this really upset him, and I only feel it's right to support my son. When he's wrong, I let him know also. Thank you!" For those of you who have not seen this ridiculous rumor, go ahead and get a laugh by reading it at MediaTakeOut.com! (Permalink) |

After the click/cut is something that was posted on my absolute blog, ONTD!, via Toya's World regarding some recent goings-ons amongst a dirty ho-fessional and a "beautiful and tall, with a smile that would melt any girl’s heart, but he is young, very young".

| The-Dream is Over Chris Brown |
Original Date: October 1, 2007 @ 05:14PM Is music's latest beef between two of R&B's current "it" boys? It sure looks that way in an interview singer-songwriter The-Dream gave to Billboard.com about Chris Brown. In the interview, The-Dream, who is the force behind Rihanna's summer hit, "Umbrella" and his own current single, "Shawty is a Ten," calls Brown out, vowing to never work with the heartthrob again. Trouble began brewing between the two when the Dream-penned J. Holiday hit, "Bed," was being considered for Brown. "The track, which was considered for Chris Brown--he thought it was his--but it was my record and I decided to give it up to J. Holiday," Dream recalled. "Chris said the record won't be No. 1 unless he's on it. I bet someone $500,000 that it would go to No. 1 and I collected my money last week." The song went on to spend three weeks atop Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Despite the fact that he eventually won his bet, Dream says Brown's comments left a dirty taste in his mouth. "He said the wrong thing to me. He has a track from me now that I was paid for already and I want to give him his money back," he declares. "At the end of the day, I'm big on principle and loyalty. Put that to bed." OUCH! SOURCE: BET.com (Permalink) |
| Billboard 'Kiss Kiss' Review |
Original Date: September 29, 2007 @ 03:36PM Very well put. "Kiss Kiss," the second single from Chris Brown's sophomore "Exclusive," drops his good-boy persona to showcase a more confident, sexual R&B don. Paired with labelmate T-Pain, the superstar tag team delivers a potent follow-up to "Wall to Wall," which found tepid acceptance at radio. Brown puts forth his best effort to woo a lady's interest, while acknowledging any haters who doubt his chances of winning the girl's heart. T-Pain plays double duty, adding vocals to a catchy hook, while proficiently rapping to close out this hit single. With a new album, tour and movie on Brown's fourth-quarter to-do list, expect huge holiday dividends for R&B's new prince.—Charles Perez Source: Billboard.com (Permalink) |

Original Date: September 26, 2007 @ 10:31PM  ChrisBrownWorld wants you to help them pick the cover for Exclusive. Personally, I think both of them are not very well thought out covers. There is absolutely nothing all that 'Exclusive' about them. It doesn't fit the title or theme of the album at all. The gold/brown one is even worse than the one with the colors. That cover needs to be changed immediately all together. Regardless of the lack of creativity with the cover, I'll still pick up a copy of the album though! <3 Click here to vote!

| Hmm. Maybe There's Hope! |
Original Date: September 19, 2007 @ 08:36PM Looks like I started enough controversy in a few hours to get a little word from someone that knows better than us. According to Derek Rhodes: The album cover that has been traveling the net, especially on Chris' official site, CBWorld.com, is not the definite album cover. It was put on the net to get feedback. However, it is highly possible that this will be the album cover, since Chris likes it a lot. As many of you know, the picture on the album cover is an old one. Chris recently had a photoshoot for the "Exclusive" album, so new pictures should be coming out soon. As for the album, expect a November 13th release date. It's a hot album and I'm glad to be apart of it. Well, thank you Derek! Looks like Chris is trying to dig a deeper whole by releasing the album on that date. Doesn't he know that Britney is going to rule the charts because that's when her highly anticipated CD is scheduled to be released?! Not to mention he'll have to compete with Celine Dion and Alicia Keys too! Those are some heavy veterans. I don't know if he's ready for all that. Hmm. (Permalink) |

Original Date: September 19, 2007 @ 04:31PM  WTF?! Shiteous, indeed. Cheap asses. Couldn't even use a shot we hadn't seen for the actual cover? Yeah. I thought it was going to be a hot ass cover with him on a red carpet going into a club or something, getting his"grown man" on, in a nice fly ass suit that showcased his crazy cool style, but no. Instead, we get this. A boring cover with graffiti (is that all that they associate with him when it comes to things like this?) and some whack ass font. They should've held a contest to have fans design the cover if they were going to pull this kind of stunt. I am disappointed. I expected more. There's still time for redemption though. Oh, and cover source is the one and only CBWorld. -- Dominique (I had to come back to let them know that the cover wasn't poppin'.) (Permalink) |

Original Date: September 19, 2007 @ 03:22PM Let's set one thing straight: Chris Brown does not dislike Ciara, even though he's quoted as saying "I don't want Ciara" in the current issue of Vibe. "I didn't say I didn't like her," the singer recently told MTV News. "They mixed it around. Ciara, you know you're my homie." The article states that Brown's face "curls up as if he'd just noticed a foul odor" when the topic of Ciara is broached. "They made it seem totally bogus," he explained. "I don't have any grudges. I'm not a negative person. And I don't have a certain type. I don't care if you're a model or if you work at a gas station. Everyone's human. Everyone's a loving human being.

With his new EXCLUSIVE, he'd like to take you to bed. Harlem, USA. 114th and Lenox. Martin Luther King Jr. Towers. Saturday night in late July. It's hellish hot, but not scorching enough to stop a good game of basketball. At the Kingdome, a seedy but legendary court in the middle of the 'hood, the Sacramento Kings' Ron Artest is warming up. He jogs up and down the fractured concrete. With each poetic motion, spectators' eyes dance along with his sweaty moves, gasping to his body's every chord. But suddenly all eyes are no longer on Artest. Suiting up underneath a blue tent is Artest's younger teammate. His name is Chris Brown. When the MC announces Brown's arrival, spectators strain to see. Camera phones flash. The bleachers tremble. When he walks onto the court, the screaming crowd warms up, as does a fortysome-thing heckler wearing a white tee and a face that's seen better days. "Yo, Chris!" he barks from the top of a bleacher. "Is your man on the flo', if he ain't, let me know?" he cracks, singing lyrics from Brown's 2005 "Run It." The crowd bursts out laughing, but Chris ignores him. His face is tight and firm, like a boxer ready to beat the hell out of someone. If he's mortified by the trash-talker, it only shows once he starts handling the ball. Someone throws him an easy pass, and he fumbles it. He gets the ball again and starts dribbling fiercely, channeling Allen Iverson. He crosses over, drives to the basket, and.. .misses. Brown gets the ball again, swivels on his heel, and heads back to the hoop --air ball. "Why he trying to get all crazy?" a teenage boy on the sideline says, sucking his teeth. Soon enough, it's time for Chris to leave. His road manager, Maceo Price, gives him the neck-slicing "cut" gesture. But as Chris inches toward the gate, so do an army of teenage girls. Then, suddenly, kids male and female, big and small, race across the court after him. A big-chested girl about the age of 15, rocking a worn-out weave and miniskirt, slows down to catch her breath. "Chris Brown," she mutters with a smile, "is the shit." By then, though, Chris is a block or two away, ensconced in a shiny black Escalade, leaving exhaust fumes behind him. A gaggle of screamingkids become a mere speck in the rearview mirror. Before Chris, now 18, was a star, he was an average pubescent teenage boy following in the footprints of other pop performers who've made singing, slick moves, and a pretty light-skinned face a gospel of the ghetto. His influence was the church. His altar is the stage, where he dodges size small panty-pitching during performances. Brown is the challenger Usher -- an inspiration whom he's also been accused of copying-- never had. His first single, "Run It," produced by Scott Storch and written by Sean Garrett, became a No. 1 BilHtoard pop single before his eponymous album (which to date has sold 1.9 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan) was even released. He was the cuddliest crooner to pop up since Tevin Campbell, even though Brown ran with a rough crowd. "Run It" featured Dipset's Juelz Santana, and "Gimme That" starred hardened lyrical nobleman Lil Wayne. Both made him look like a schoolboy trying to shoot the shit with project delinquents. "The first album was me finding myself and my voice, finding how I sing," Chris says, chewing on a piece of ice at Soho's Bar 89. "I was rolling with the punches," he says, "because everything was new to me." When Brown speaks, it's with a slight lisp, and if it weren't for the dab of fuzz on his chin, he would have a complete baby face. Height wise, he's a handsome 6' 1" and his posture is damn near perfect, thanks to years of dancing and media training. His tight-knit posse -- manager, road manager, mom, assistant, and bodyguard --act as image police, self-esteem boosters, best friends, and, at certain points, drill sergeants. "Everybody wants apiece of your time," he deadpans. "And sometimes you don't get your own time." But on his new, sophomore album, Exclusive(Jive), Brown s no longer singing to the training-bra chick next door. Instead, he's steppingup his game, goingfor the girl who might be willing to let him go all the way. On "Get at Cha," produced by the Underdogs, Chris gets straight to the point: "You gotta show me," he sings, "if you're ready to be a bad girl." "I got the younger girls," he says. "I'm giving something to the older ladies. It's not like, 'Let me pull your panties down and do this!' But I get a chance to express myself [about] how I want to be grown." On "Take You Down" -- a song that Chris co-wrote -- he proclaims: "It ain't my first time.../Let's bump and grind.../Let me take you down." Fun fact: The J. Holiday song "Bed" was originally written for Brown. "Whoever his team was," says Brown, "was some assholes." He offered the producers $100,000 to get the record back, to no avail. "Girls are obviously losing their virginity at 15, 16," he says. "I'm not promoting that, but [my songs] are basically talking about me becoming a man." Growing up in the trailer parks of Tappahannock, Va., Chris was always about his voice. "He started singing in church," says his mom, Joyce Hawkins, aka Mama Brown, a short woman with straight auburn hair, rosy cheeks, and eyes that laugh. "To be honest, I never really knew he would become a singer." Matter-of-fact, Hawkins says she never "paid a lot of attention" to young Chris' crooning around the house. Joyce separated from Chris' biological dad when Chris was 6. At first, it was all-good. "Two Christmases, two birthday presents," he recalls. "It wasn't no big hardship on me," he says flatly at the restaurant, his mom within earshot -- she leans in at several points during the interview to hear what he's saying. When Chris was 13, he moved to Harlem, N.Y., and stayed with a friend's family while he worked on his burgeoning music career. "I was in the "hood," he says. "135th and Amsterdam." Between polishing his musical chops (according to legend, none of his label people knew he danced until his first music video), Chris sometimes had pent-up aggression, and it needed to be released. Once, when he was 15 and newly signed to Jive, he got into a fist fight with a guy at a basketball game over a chair. "He was out there with his homies," Brown says. "So I was like, 'Oh, ya'll about to jump me now? What's up then?!'" Luckily, the "homies" never got involved. And eventually, cops came and broke up the scuffle. And though it's tough to picture chipmunk-cheeked, flash-dancing Chris Breezy preparing for a fight, he says, "If it came down to it, I'd do what I had to do." Hearing Chris' bluster is a shock, another reminder that he's much more than lungs of steel, ostentatious dance moves, and a dimpled face. Don't mistake his PG image for weakness. His ascent into young-manhood recalls how elder stars like Beyonce, who went from being a good girl to a bootylicious blonde bombshell, and Usher, who went from a pimple-faced choirboy to a pants-dropping pop prince, crossed over from darlings to divas and divos. Brown recently bought himself a six-bedroom home in Virginia, where he lives with his 6-month-old pit bull, Diamond, and his 1,000 or so pairs of sneakers. He has three cars, including an electric-blue Lamborghini, and for his 18th birthday (which was captured for MTV's My Super Sweet 18), famed jeweler DiBur sent him a watch heavy with ice. "I can't even tell you how many diamonds are in it," Chris says. In March, a set of suspect nude photos popped up on the Internet that were rumored to be of Brown, a sure sign his fan base was getting more mature and more sexualized. "First of all, I don't take pictures of myself" he says with a smirk. "I ain't never feeling myself that much. If I'm gonna show somebody that, I'd rather show the person that's gonna be in the room with me at that time." He adds: "I'm the first one that keeps my image perfectly straight." And what about the rumored infatuation with crunk 'n' B starlet Ciara? Chris' face curls up as if he'd just noticed a foul odor. "I don't want Ciara," he says, denying previous reports clearly stating he was obsessed with Bow Wow s ex. "I don't want any industry girl." Preferably, Chris says, he just wants a good old "regular girl." And, oh yeah: "a model." Some models you notice immediately. Their legs seem like golden stilts, and their walk can crush a regular woman's confidence into a ball of defeat. When Jaslene Gonzalez, the champ from the latest season ofAmerica 'sNext Top Model, saunters by Brown's table at Bar 89, he loses track of his conversation and his eyes seem to dance to her rhythm. Brown doesn't have a clue who she is, "but she looks good, though," he says, grinning. Noticing him staring, Jaslene walks over. "What's up Chris," she coos. "My name is Jaslene. I just won America's Next Top Model. I'm a huge fan." It's hard to tell who's more nervous: him or her. A couple of seconds pass. "How you doing? Nice to meet you," Chris eventually says. Standing behind her is someone who looks equally excited about meeting Chris Brown, a fella who could quite possibly be Jaslene's man. Chris leans back and notices the dude, keeping the smile going. "Oh, what's up, homie ?!" he says. When it comes to women, Chris is not quite the man child he wants you to see -- he's a smitten little boy. The attractive performer, who made People magazine's Most Beautiful People list and has been called one of the Hottest Men of 2007 by Glamour magazine, hasn't been on a proper date in more than three years. "My last girlfriend was when I was 14," Chris says, taking a sip from his second cranberry and Sprite. How old were you when you lost your virginity? I don't give out my details. I'm still a virgin in your eyes. But you 've bad girlfriends, right? I've had girlfriends, but it's different. You mean relationship girlfriends or girls that you... Jump-offs? Not jump-offs! Like, you don't be like, " That's my girl," but you know when you hang with her, it's like... Cut buddies? I wouldn't necessarily call it a cut buddy. We just cool...something like that. Friends with benefits? Perfect. Friends with benefits. Exactly. How many girlfriends have you had? Two.. .and a lot of friends with benefits. Such are the perks, and costs, of growing up in the spotlight. "I'm girl crazy," he says. "Very girl crazy." But he rarely approaches women for fear that real life might get in the way of something bigger. "If I'm singling out one girl, think about all the other girls who are falling in love with me in that club," he says. "What they gon' think? So it's like, I have a relationship with every girl. It's like every girl is my girlfriend, so I have to be faithful to every girl and not [just] talk to one girl." At this point Chris understands he can't just be a regular guy: He's CHRIS BROWN." And he'll go to great pains to thwart tasty temptations in order to avoid crushed hearts of little fawning girls. Some day soon, though, none of that will matter. Innocence is a necessary casualty of growth. "All I have to do is one video where I take my shirt off and grind on a girl, and then I'm a bad boy," he says, mischief creeping into his tone. "That image can flip anytime I want it to." By Linda Hobbs vibe.com (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown: Legally Platinum |
Original Date: September 10, 2007 @ 04:01PM Published Monday, September 10, 2007 1:03 AM By Emmanuel “Boy Wonder” Ezugwu When Chris Brown was discovered in 2005, the Virginian represented the young, fresh and new generation of ‘80s babies who, having grown up emulating the moves of their favorite entertainers, now had a chance to become stars in their own right. All of a sudden, people were buying into their “Goodies,” whilst demanding that the DJ’s, radio stations and video channels “Pon De Replay” and “Run It” again. Two years on and with the looming cloud of beginner’s luck having now settled, Chris Brown has more than proved his clout as a bankable entertainer; so much so that even his idols are fans. With the impending release of Exclusive – the follow up to his three million dollar selling debut - the 18-year-old talks to us about birthdays, haters, Michael Jackson and his firsthand experience of domestic abuse. AllHipHop.com Alternatives: The first time I saw you perform was at your first UK showcase back in 2005. Do you remember that day? Chris Brown: Yeah. I was just thinking of being ready for the show. I was just getting prepared all day like, because it was my first time performing out there, and it was in front of a lot of industry professionals, and I was just thinking of getting it right. AHHA: Is it true you were originally going to be signed to Def Jam? Chris Brown: Yeah I was going to go to Def Jam at first with Tina Davis, and when she left Def Jam, she became my manager, and I went to Jive. AHHA: Your current single “Wall to Wall” has been you lowest charting single to date. Musically, do you think it’s any different from your other releases or a case of the sophomore jinx? Chris Brown: I think that it’s got to do with the release time when we put it out. When we released it, people were confused and didn’t know whether it was a single or not. It was a leak, but at the same time when we made it official…and by the time the video came out because we shot the video so late. That’s what I think contributed to it you know what I’m saying? You never know, but I think that as far as what it’s doing and did visually... It’s doing really well in the UK, it’s doing good in the States. Well, it did aight, but the video still went to Number One on both video stations for weeks. The song doing as it did didn’t bother me that much. Just as long as they know the video’s dope. AHHA: You turned 18 in May with a big party. Can you tell us about it? Chris Brown: The party was cool; I had two parties. One for the family, and one for just fans and everybody who wanted to come. The groups that are with my label came as well as from other labels like Rihanna came through and –What’s that girl’s name from Love and Basketball? – Sanaa Lathan and Jennifer Hudson. I can’t even remember I was just chilling with everybody. Lil’ Mama came through...The Pack came, Huey, Trey Songz. AHHA: Did you really get a call from Michael Jackson on your birthday? Chris Brown: I got it the day after. AHHA: What was he saying? Chris Brown: He was just like wassup. He was really just speaking to me, like he told me happy birthday and was saying wassup. AHHA: So is the collaboration between you two definitely confirmed? Chris Brown: Well, hopefully it will be. We’re talking but...like I originally talked to Will.I.Am, because he does some stuff for him. And then when I talked to Mike, he said, “Yeah we’ll do something.” So hopefully we will do that record. AHHA: Being so young when you came out, how did/do you cope with regular teenage insecurities when you’re in the spotlight? Chris Brown: Hmm I don’t think I have them as much. Like when I left school and started doing music, I felt like I was thrown into the fast life of growing up and I was like, “Ok let’s work and do music and travel.” So the insecurities weren’t really there. I mean maybe I’ll have them about the clothes I’m wearing and everything else, but I wasn’t tripping like that. I’ve always been an individual, so I wasn’t really into what everybody else was doing. AHHA: Your next single is “Kiss Kiss” featuring T-Pain. He gets a lot of slack for using a vocoder. What made you want to work with him? Chris Brown: I mean people at the end of the day, they are gonna hate regardless. Nine-times-outta-ten, the average person could not do what T-Pain can do...vocally. People saying he can’t sing and he needs a [vocoder], I just think its bull! It’s a dope sound, and that’s what makes him unique. Now you can hear other songs and other artists using it. I think people are uptight nowadays and are always being so critical as if they’re the judge, or the ambassador of the world you know what I’m saying? His fans love him and at the end of the day. I’m gonna get his album when it comes out, because I support him and love his music. AHHA: I can tell this is something you feel strongly about, so I guess you would legally buy the album? Chris Brown: [laughs] It’s a no-brainer, because in the States he’s poppin’ and everybody’s copying him over in the States. I feel it’s important to support what he’s doing. AHHA: When you were young you witnessed your mother being abused at the hands of your stepfather. What would you say to kids in that situation right now? Chris Brown: Well, me I would say...[pauses] find a...[pauses] try to just get away from it. Even if you can’t get away from it...[pauses] I know what you’re going through. At my age, I couldn’t just sit through it and be like, “I wanna do this to him and I wanna do that.” It was a harder situation. I would say...[pauses] I don’t know, just try not to hurt nobody after all’s said and done. AHHA: I can tell this is a sensitive subject and must have been tough for you to go through. What did you do to cope with the domestic abuse you saw? Chris Brown: Like everything else, I put the old stuff behind me. I think people dwell on the past, but I don’t think that the past haunts them. I don’t even care like, I love my music and I love doing what I’m doing now. At the end of the day, I’m not even thinking about what happened years ago. AHHA: Ok let’s move on. Increasingly nowadays, you don’t have to have a good voice to have a hit that tops the charts. As an artist are you more concerned with having a hit record or making classic music that can stand the test of time? Chris Brown: Well nowadays with all this technology, you don’t even have to say a thing! As in you can say the dumbest thing on a record and it will be a hit. It’s all about your melody and your presence on a record and how good the record is. I’m concerned with making music that feels good and what I like more then for anybody else. I know that anybody who wouldn’t like my music can’t be like it’s because he can’t sing or dance. At the end of the day, these people are the ones with a record deal and the person that’s criticizing is the one that still buys their stuff. I just look at it like, “Ok. It’s whatever...” AHHA: Bow Wow and Omarion are coming together with a collaboration album. If you could choose one person from the world of Hip-Hop for a joint album who – Chris Brown: Lil Wayne! AHHA: Wow, you didn’t even let me finish my sentence. [laughs] So why Lil’ Wayne? Chris Brown: He’s the best MC period! Nobody messes with him. AHHA: In a recent interview, 50 Cent paid both you and Ciara a compliment saying that you’re the future of the business and are going to be the best things out in a little bit. How do you feel about that? Chris Brown: I mean that’s dope! 50’s always been a supporter. He usually don’t support a lot of artists and he’s with himself saying, “Let me do my own thing.” I appreciate 50 saying that. I met him several times, and every time I’ve met him he’s been nothing like the big homey. Almost like a big brother type of fam, so it’s cool. I get on real cool with him.

| Respect. |
Original Date: September 3, 2007 @ 01:28PM I have a whole new level of respect for celebrities that have to endure hurtful things reported about them now. Thank God I've thick skin like my idol. This is getting out of hand. I don't want to be "famous" anymore. UPDATE:The post directly under this one is not about attacking Chris or questioning your "fan-dom". It's to let you know the truth about how I feel, and if you agree -- great, if you don't -- even better. Everyone is entitled to their own judgments and opinion and sometimes it's better to just listen without an agenda. Listen without trying to agree or disagree. I want to thank all of the supporters of myself, especially. This hit really hard today for reasons unknown to myself and anyone else. I just know that I am tired of people posing as me and talking about me as if I really am someone special. I'm an online celebrity. I've concluded. My name stays in people's texts, I've learned. So, pose as me and say what you'd like -- but when I go, I go hard and authentically. You'll know it's me when I bother to speak. Until then, I am done voicing my opinion. Cut and dry updates from this point forth. (Permalink) |
| The Announcement + Responding to Young-Love.NET |
Original Date: September 3, 2007 @ 09:54AM  Wow. I'm turning into something like an eCelebrity, and I don't like it. The foolishness and fuckery, rumors, the comments about my personal life, the talk addressing my looks, it all can go to the dogs, because only positive feedback is welcome with me; and to those that have personally attacked me recently, thank you -- because hating on me allows me to see that what I am doing is something you wish you could. You only make it easier for me to continue slaving over a site that I really do not want right about now, but we'll save that for later. Now, first off, I would love to commend AsyaMonet from Young-Love.net for her extremely level-headed response to a comment that was allegedly left by me. Secondly, I would like to say that I did not leave such a comment, because I rarely visit fansites other than Britney Spears fansites, and if I do it's just to see what's going on in the world of the other webmaster. If you couldn't tell, I haven't been online lately, as much as I used to. It gets old, and uninspiring. Also, look at what the comment said (not sure myself, but I know it wasn't my typing/writing style). I do not go around saying offensive and hurtful things to people anymore. If anything my job is to uplift. So, let's just put that to rest immediately. I have no problem with Young-Love.net as a whole, despite the fact me and Zee have exchanged some harsh words, but I am not the type to hold a grudge. Young-Love is doing an amazing job of keeping fans informed, and they are dedicated just like us. So, I suggest you pay them a visit. They're the first site that has truly stuck it out for a while and have been giving it to you, the fans, for a good while and they are doing it the proper way. I just want to say, in the most humble manner possible, myself and a few other webmasters (Devin, Dustin, and Jordan have set the bar high for webmasters that expect to come along and just rule the fansite world. I have put in two hard years into this site to not receive much back. The ONLY reason I still bother to update and not sell the site to someone else to manage it, is because of YOU the fans of the site and Chris Brown, because quite frankly -- there's a lot of stress and things that I don't like that you only get a glimpse of behind the scenes. Now that Jeff is gone (that's the announcement), I am free to do as I please. Jeff was a major role on the site and caused a lot of censorship on my part. I was forced to take down a number of humorous posts and some may have been offensive. However, I do not make the site for everyone. I make the site for fans of Chris Brown that aren't so closed-minded and that can take a hit/joke every once in a while. I know I can. And this is not to say that I am not a fan anymore, because I am -- but I just do not believe in Chris Brown like I used to. Everything has grown so typical. I've been in touch with quite a few fans that feel the same way, and call us fickle - but nothing is what it used to seem. I will still support Chris Brown as long as things stay leveled, but there needs to be a sense of humility and humbleness, and that was not shown on the Super 18 tv show on MTV. I was really upset by some of his actions, and in my judgment, it appeared he was starting to pull a "Bow Wow" and let fame get to him. I am posting this with no expectation of change from anyone or anything, but I am just airing out how I have felt for a long time. So, basically -- visit Young-Love.net because they are doing the damn thing, but don't forget about us because we've been rolling on for two years. Who knows, maybe Y-L and CBWeb could even do a joint venture if Zee were to unblock me from contacting her. Best wishes and I love YOU the fans, I've given you my all -- my souL. Dominique Godspeed.

| Chris Brown goes Virgin for Vibe. |
Original Date: August 28, 2007 @ 11:42AM  He's on the cover of the new issue lookin' a lil' ill, but I'll let it slide. I guess that's the new look -- you know how models looked coked out back in the 90s. Okay, I am done with the colorful commentary. Hate me. :) Read the full MTV induced article after the click.  Chris Brown, who's about to drop his sophomore album Exclusive, let Vibe magazine in on a few other exclusives — about his love life. The magazine's new cover boy reveals that he's "girl crazy — very girl crazy," but there are limits. For instance, the nude photos that turned up on the Internet in March were not actually him. "First of all, I don't take pictures of myself," Brown told the mag. "If I'm gonna show somebody that, I'd rather show the person that's gonna be in the room with me at that time." So who might be that person be? Not Ciara, that's for sure. When asked about her, his face "curls up as if he'd just noticed a foul odor," Vibe observed. "I don't want Ciara," Brown said. "I don't want any industry girl." He'd prefer a "regular girl" — that is, provided she's also "a model." No wonder he hasn't had more than two girlfriends (the last when he was 14), or been on a proper date in more than three years. "I've had girlfriends, but it's different," he said. "Not jump-offs! Like, you don't be like, 'That's my girl,' but you know when you hang with her, it's like ... friends with benefits. If I'm singling out one girl, think about all the other girls who are falling in love with me in that club. What they gon' think? So it's like, I have a relationship with every girl. It's like every girl is my girlfriend." The magazine hits newsstands on September 11, while Exclusive is out October 30. ...SOURCE: MTVNews.com (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown Get Exclusive |
Original Date: August 22, 2007 @ 03:56PM R&B sensation Chris Brown has already achieved success as a singer, but has branched out into films as well, appearing in the hit teen movie, Stomp the Yard, if only for a few minutes. Adding to his film resume, he'll be starring in a movie called Phenom, a word that truly describes this teen-aged heartthrob. At 15, the Tappahannock, Va.-native released a self-titled CD with a smash hit called "Run It," and he's been running it ever since. From a hot video to a hot BET Awards performance to channeling James Brown at the Grammys and paying tribute to Michael Jackson in a performance of "Thriller" at the World Music Awards, this now-18-year-old has the world at his (dancin') feet. We caught up with him between preparation for his sophomore CD Exclusive whose first two singles "Wall to Wall" and "Kiss Kiss" featuring T-Pain, are already heating things up. Check out what Chris Breezy had to say. BET.com: So, tell us all about the new CD. Chris Brown: It comes out October 30. T-Pain's on the record, we're doing stuff with Big Boi from Outkast, we're doing stuff with will.i.am. It's a lot of different people and it's going to be a different feel to this album. Tell us something about the album you haven't told anybody yet. Well, it's going to be a new album, [and with me being 18, I'm just talking about new subjects. But at the same time, it compares to everything on the last album. It's like that was a lead-up to this album. You just turned 18. Does it feel any different? Nothing really different - same rules, same regulations, just different responsibilities. But how it is growing up in this industry at this point? Now that you're 18, it's a little different than being 15 or 16? Nothing really different - it's just having fun with it, when I'm doing the music as far as the entertainment side and then everything in general with the music business. You seem like you do have fun. This industry can be tough and I'm sure you've been through ups and downs even though you've been successful this far. How do you keep the fun in it? I think just by being myself. You don't have a whole bunch of dummies around you. (laughs) Keep the people that you like around you, and just be yourself. Your mom is here (mom Joyce Hawkins travels with her son). Does she play a role in keeping you grounded? I guess sometimes, if she just get off my heels sometimes. But she aight, yeah... Are there any rules and regulations in the house - is there stuff that you still can't do or stuff that you still have to do? Nah, because I live by myself (laughs). When she comes over does she still get on you about stuff, like if your room is dirty or whatever? No, because she got her house, I got my house (laughs). If my room is messed up, it's just going to be messed up. You're working on some other projects as well, with some movies coming. Tell us a little about those and the characaters you're going to be playing. This Christmas comes out the end of November, early December. I play a guy named Baby. He's the baby of the family and a singer, but he's also the comic relief. He's the young dude that talks to girls all the time, sort of like myself, but in a movie. It's like a Christmas Soul Food. With Phenom, we're still negotiating everything and its in the works, but right now I'm preparing for the tour and for this album. Basketball seems to be one of your many interests along with singing and dancing. Did you every think of it seriously as a career? Basketball was what I did in high school through my years and being around the neighborhood all the time. That was what I did and it was like my second love. Basketball was something that I wanted to do as well. Are you excited about this project in a different way than you were about the first project? For this project, I'm more excited about it. I guess I have the same anticipation. But I'm anxious, just like the first album, because people haven't heard the new stuff and I want to see what they think about it. Source: BET.com (Permalink) |

| It's Official: Chris Brown is a SuperStar |
Original Date: August 20, 2007 @ 09:53AM BASE NEWS: The R&B heartthrob is mobbed as he appears in London... US R&B singer, Chris Brown brought London’s Oxford Street to a standstill on Saturday afternoon after appearing at Nike Town where he signed copies of his new single Wall to Wall. There was so much hysteria that the 18 year-old had to be escorted out of the building by armed policemen. A source told us: “It was pure pandemonium. I’ve been working here for a few years now and never before has any other celebrity drew this many people to the store”. Because of time limits only a few of the hundreds of people who arrived could meet their idol and so afterwards Chris Brown did a walk around the store and then ran outside. Things soon got tricky for the R&B crooner when fans descended on him from both sides of Oxford Street and tackled the star to the floor where they then began trying to strip his clothes off. Brown managed to escape unharmed from the encounter (minus muddy clothes) and was quickly rushed back instore by his security where he had to wait until the police arrived to provide him with an escort.

| What kind of girl does Chris like? |
Original Date: August 16, 2007 @ 09:01PM From this month's issue of Word Up! magazine: Ask Chris Brown and he will tell you that these days he is married to his career and as we go to press, his #1 focus is getting out his new CD, Exclusive. We hear there is going to be some sophisticated and sultry sounds on his CD, but he's still a small-town boy from Tappahannock, VA, and he likes his girls old-fashioned too. Chris says, "I really like natural-looking girls who dont wear too much makeup. I like them to be real, not divas. I want someone who is a freind above all else. And they have to be able to understand my demanding schedule. It takes someone really special to do that." The now 6'1" Chris admits that he dates here and there but does not have time for anything "Exclusive" (no matter what you read about him on the net.) He also wants to do some more movies and will most likely not settle down until he's 30. "I have a lot I want to accomplish yet. Let me just say that once I have accomplished what I need to in my career to feel satisfied, then I know that the right partner will come my way. But for now, I am still growing and learning, and I consider dates to be learning experiences. On the physical side of things, Chris admits that he likes girls with "juicy lips" and who are curvy! We think that any girl who gets an old-fashioned southern gent like Chris is truely blessed! He's the kind of guy who opens doors, call your mother "M'am" and always asks YOU what you want to do on a date. But for now, the only "exclusive" in his life is his new CD, which is said to be full of surprise guests. Thanks to Tierra for the article! (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown Opens Up About Troubled Past |
Original Date: August 15, 2007 @ 08:27AM First off, I'd like to say that I appreciate that Chris is getting more candid now-a-days. It shows he loves and trusts us now. On to the article... ------------------------------------------------ Though things couldn't be better for Chris Brown right now, the multi-platinum crooner admits in the August/September issue of Giant Magazine that his life hasn't always been a piece of cake. While growing up, Brown watched his stepfather repeatedly abuse his mother. "He used to hit my mom. He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself," he recalled. "I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, 'I'm just gonna go crazy on him one day...' I hate him to this day." Brown's hatred of his stepfather's abuse haunted him so much that he even warned his mother that if she did not leave her husband, there'd be a big price to pay. "I just want you to know that I love you," the then-11-year-old warned her. "But one day I'm gonna take a baseball bat one day while you're at work, and I'm gonna kill him." Luckily for Brown, he had music, basketball and art to distract him from his troubles at home. Fast forward seven years and his mom has since divorced his stepdad and Brown, now 18-years-old, is gearing up for the follow-up to his self-titled debut. However, Brown admits that even though his boyish good looks have launched him into teen heartthrob status, it doesn't guarantee that he'll always get the girl. Though he approached songbird Ciara before and after he shot to fame, she turned him down both times. He even confessed his feelings to Ciara's ex, Bow Wow, with whom Brown collaborated with on "Shortie Like Mine." Chris is talking his rejection in stride, though. "I don't stunt her that much because if I know somebody's not attracted like that, I'm not gonna push," he said. "At the end of the day, you're not blessed with everything."

| The young phenom talks love, Hollywood and not winning a Grammy |
Original Date: August 12, 2007 @ 06:41PM Extra content not found in Giant Magazine: On what he was like growing up… I was cool but I wasn’t the main kid that everybody was like Oh my Gawd, it’s Chris! You know, there’s always one guy in school that everybody’s like, Oh my Gawd! I wasn’t that guy. I was the guy that hung out with him. I was always an individual, always did my own thing. When I was in 5th grade me and my mom moved to the ghetto part of where I’m from. Where I lived before it was called Dunnsville, it’s still in Tappahannock, but Dunnsville is in the county of Essex, it’s just forest and trees, you seen all your homies at school. But when I moved to the actual hood part, Airport Road, all my homies was in the hood. The hood has bad elements all the time around you, drugs and fighting and guns and stuff like that, I was around it all the time, but I wasn’t a part of it. I hung out, learned how to cuss, using bad words, being a bad guy, disrespecting people, but it wasn’t a good thing, I didn’t like doing it. I rebelled against a lot of stuff like as a kid. I didn’t like nothing nobody else was doing. I never wanted to be like everybody else, I wanted to stand out. I used to sneak out the house, ride my bike all the way down to this big ol’ Walmart, egg cars, run from the police on the bikes, it was just normal little kids stuff that we was doing. On his most memorable fight… My most memorable fight was a fight that I didn’t wanna fight. I was in 9th grade and it was the beginning of basketball season, I was on the basketball team, point guard. And this dude, I ain’t gonna name him ‘cause I don’t wanna even give him no shine, he was jealous of me ‘cause I sang and I was starting to do my music thing. At the time, I was back-and-forth between Virginia and Harlem. So one day we was at a girls basketball game at Essex High School and my cousin Datwon came and sat beside me in the dude’s seat so the dude came over like “Hey get up out my seat, man!” So he was like, “Somebody told me not to move. “So the dude started cussing me out and I was like, “Dude, you don’t know me like that. Don’t come at me wrong. “ So the homie was like, “Im’a strike you in your mouth when we get outside!” So me, I don’t care, I’m not scared of nobody. I had my book bag on, four, five, six big homework books, big thick ones, it was the winter season, I had this big ol’ coat on, so I walk out the door and I see my mom’s truck right in the front and I see him and six of his homies so I’m like, “Alright let’s rock!” He was like, “What you said?” I was like, “You heard me say it, don’t try ‘cause your boys here.” So then he started to swing, but I had taken martial arts so I was already expecting the hit, the punch, so I ducked. I was taking my book bag off, and he caught me one time BOW! He caught me and that’s when I blanked out like, whoa , let’s fight! My morals was like forget everything, don’t think I’m a punk! So we really got to fighting and my homeboys came to break it up and my momma was getting out the car ‘cause she didn’t know who was fighting and when she found out it was me she was like, I’m tired of this boy! Because he was always giving me problems and I’m like, “Mom, I’m not a punk, don’t go to no cops pressing no charges, like we don’t do that in the hood, he just was a hater, he’s so wack. I’m never gonna snitch on nobody, I’m gonna take care of myself. That was like the code of the hood where I was at. One how he learned some of his moves… When the original Power Rangers came out, Black Ranger Jack, Trina the yellow one, Jason or Tommy the Red one, Billy the blue one, I remember watching it seeing them flipping and doing all this stuff and I told my momma, “I wanna take martial arts.” So we found a Tae Kwon Do instructor I took it for like 6 years from like age 5. But I didn’t continue to do it till I was a black belt. When you from the hood and you with your homies you like, Nah, I’m learning just how to beat somebody up. So that’s what my mentality was. If something go down, I’m whipping their tail like I’m gonna give it to them. I learned how to block and all my defensive moves but then I was like, I’m cool, I’m done, I’m older now, girls will laugh at me if I take karate. So I stopped taking it. On getting rid of his country twang… She’s telling me what to do when I’m in front of certain people, like record people, or just to be nice, not talk too much, don’t give ‘em everything, I used to talk like (high pitched voice), “Yo, so they said I was gonna do this.” She was like just keep them on the edge of they seat sometimes, like she’s like just fall back and keep ‘em guessing. I did media training because I was so country but at the same time I had a twang, so I had two weeks of how to say my stuff because I was just like (goes into real country accent/voice) Yeah maaan I’m just saying like, this is how you gotta do it, youknowwhatimsaying folk? I was just real country so my media training really helped me out, my media-training teacher was like when somebody asks you a question, you repeat it, the training was helpful. On his many tattoos… I got most of these tattoos early. On my 13th birthday I was like, “Mom, I want a tattoo.” She’s like, (high pitched voice) “You ain’t gettin’ no tattoo!” So I went against her will and got one but I told her it was positive so then she liked it. That first one is basically Jesus with the music notes signifying he gave me the gift to sing. Then I got this one when I was 14, I drew this C (looks like a graffiti tag) and added a hand image. The hand means me holding my own name, my own destiny. This one, 2 ups 2 downs, is for Virginia, I had to do one for Virginia, when I was 16, in Miami. I designed that. Then it’s a spray can because I used to do graffiti and the B for Brown. I recently got this one (on his hand, it’s a skull with a halo over it). I got it the day after my 18th birthday and it signifies when you die, when you’re buried, your flesh deteriorates and all that’s left is your bones and the memory of you, it’s your bones, but you an angel. I wanted to do something that’s not demonic, so I put a halo over it to make something positive. And then this one, these is ninjas but Darkness to Light was about my life, me being a kid but being bad, being with the wrong crowd, doing the wrong things, but following my own path. This is the demon that I used to fight when I was younger, this is the angel, they just battled. On his first love and heartbreak… When I was younger, I was cute to girls but I never used to like the girls where I was at, I’d have a girl that I met at summer camp or from another county. My last girl, I broke up with her when I was 15, she lived in the county next to me, and she cheated on me with another guy. I found out ‘cause I played basketball, and her school is our rival school, so we went to the school, she was kickin’ with a dude like muah and all that, the whole nine yards. I peeped it, the whole thing, I was like wooooow! So I walked up like, “How ya’ll doing, ya’ll good? Ya’ll chillin’?” She was lookin’ like she saw a ghost I was like, “That’s whassup, I’ll holler at ya’ll later.” That was that. She was callin’ me and I was like stop calling. I was hurt but it put me in focus mode. I love girls, I love being around girls, but let me get focused right now ‘cause I don’t’ need to go through that again. On what he’s like when he’s with a lady… I’m confident, everybody has their insecurities though. When I’m with girls I just be myself, I don’t try to be like, yeah baby, I don’t put no extra bass in my voice. I’m the same guy, I crack jokes, I be joking on people, just chillin’. At the end of the day, I think people look at me like this dude don’t care, he ain’t trying to impress me, he not trying to put on no whole persona like, Oh, I got money, I got this, I can do this. Some girls might care about that ,but if they care about that then that’s not the right girl for you. On not getting caught up in the Hollywood hype while he was on The OC… It was cool, it was a different environment, the set was cool for the most part. The actors were consumed by Hollywood though. Some of the actors, I don’t wanna say their names, but some of the girls were real Hollywood cocky like (high pitched stupid girl voice) I’m this, I’m that Oh wow! I don’t like that so I just stayed to myself, did my scenes and kept it moving. On not winning the Grammy he was nominated for… Not winning the Grammy was a big disappointment for me. I was up for Best New Artist. I was very disappointed. But as soon as they made the announcement I had to go back and get changed for my performance so I was extra mad for my performance so I wanted to perform and show ‘em why they shoulda gave it to me.

I'm here to let some stupid people that "act like they know" *cough*CL*cough*, but really don't. September 17th isn't the release date for the album. Albums aren't released on Monday. As of now the album's release date is unknown. I cannot tell you when it will drop. When we know the official release date we will be the first to inform you. So, basically go looking for it August 28th unless we tell you not to -- and trust me, if we tell you not to, you will know! Now go visit my faaaaavorite blog, Think2Wice. They don't lie as often as CL. Hmm. So much for them being in the "loop". LMFAO! ps -- stay clicked for the Giant magazine scans. You're gonna love them. (Permalink) |

Original Date: July 26, 2007 @ 06:34PM Chris Brown, Ciara and other celebs are featured in Rocawear's I Will Not Lose Campaign 07. Check out the official site for more info about the campaign and contest, and also for other videos: http://www.iwillnotlose.org/ Click "Full Post" to see what Chris had to say... Chris Brown: Some of the struggles I had early on involved overcoming myself. Just thinking I could never amount to what my dream was, having doubts; that was hard for me personally. What I learned about myself is that I can't help everybody at one time. I'm gonna get up to it, though. Being young, trying to pursue my career, everybody always gonna have doubts. Automatically, they're gonna compare you, "he can't do what this person do and he can't sing like this person." I mean, I think that's what makes people unique, that people don't sound alike and people don't do the same things. When I was younger, I was working hard, playing basketball and maintaining my singing at 11 and 12 years old. So, I think I had that drive from day one. That's what makes me the same person I've always been. (Permalink) |

| Wall to Wall iTunes |
Original Date: July 18, 2007 @ 08:46AM  Well, it appears that you're now able to purchase 'Wall to Wall' on iTunes -- if you like in CANADA! Whitney and I did some research last night and saw that not only are Canadian fans (<3) able to purchase the single on iTunes Canada, but they have been since June 25th. Don't believe me? Click this to see a screenshot. Now, if you're anything like Whitney and myself, you're probably wondering why it's available in Canada and not the U.S. Well, I hate to inform you that I don't know either. However, the music video is now available on iTunes USA. Click the button at the end of this post to purchase it for $1.99. So, now it's our mission to get 'Wall to Wall' sent to iTunes so we can make it a successful single, because right now it's future isn't looking so bright. We can't let Chris go down like that, especially not on the first single. It's our duty, as fans. A more extensive radio campaign will be posted later today.  -- Purchase 'Wall to Wall' Music Video (Permalink) |

Original Date: July 16, 2007 @ 03:18PM  CLAIM TO FAMEExclusive, the new album by the 18-year-old multi-platinum pop R&B artist, is out this month. We wrote some lyrics with him at the shoot in NYC. --- CHRIS: OK, what’s the first thing you’re thinking of? GLAMOUR: I’m stressed. CHRIS: But what do you want to write about? You can make it happy; you can make it sad. It’s about just getting your thoughts on paper. You don’t have to be like, “I’m going to rhyme, I’m going to rhyme, I’m going to rhyme.” GLAMOUR: OK, so let me try. “I woke up this morning feeling kind of heavy.” CHRIS: “Headache and things shaking, something, something.” GLAMOUR: “I’m not sure that I’m ready.” CHRIS: [Sings.] “Take a step out, see another life I have to lead, but the life I choose could be one of greed, lust, power or intimacy.” GLAMOUR: How are you even singing that?! Amazing. I just got married in August, so let’s try an anniversary song. CHRIS: “Take this ring and put it on your finger.” GLAMOUR: “It’s our anniversary, I bet you thought I wouldn’t remember.” CHRIS: [Laughs.] That’s terrible! —Lola Ogunnaike Source: Glamour Magazine (Permalink) |

| News RoundUp: Rumors and More |
Original Date: July 15, 2007 @ 09:59AM Let us start the day with the daily dosage of rumors, shall we? The #1 rumor that is floating around right now is the one about the album release date. Rumor has it that the album is being pushed back to October 30th due to the failure that "Wall to Wall" is having to endure, which is mainly due to the fact that the single is not available online for legal download at major retailers such as iTunes. At this time the album is still scheduled for an August 28th release date, and if anything changes we'll inform you right away. I'm aware he's said it's been pushed back himself, but keep reading. <3 With that said, the new single looks to be "Take U Down" according to Chris, himself. Do not get too excited though. The politics that take place with the label and whatnot could throw a curve ball and release another song as the second single. Do not be surprised if it is a song featuring T-Pain since he's "hot" right now. (Why? I do not even know. Totally fugly.) Chris was on 106th and Park a few days ago (video coming soon), and said that there are some more features that might be added to the album (which means that the tentative track listing looks like its going to change), and that there will be a remix video 'Wall 2 Wall'. Do not believe EVERYTHING Chris says because do you remember when he said that the 'Run It (Remix)' featuring Bow Wow would have remixed vocals as well? Yeah, that never happened. Chris means well, but sometimes things are just out of his hands. <3 Another rumor circulating is that Chris is supposed to be some sort of pimp -- no, not like that -- a gingerbread pimp. Mhmm. In Shrek 4 (not 3, sorry). <3 We will find out more about that and if it is true soon. Finally, onto some good news that we oh so more than deserve after all of that -- Chris is in the latest issue of Glamour magazine on stands. Make sure you go to your nearest magazine retailer and get that. Make sure you call in and request Wall to Wall at your local urban/pop music stations because we cannot let it just go down like that. It is not our fault that someone is not smart enough to send the single to iTunes. I guess we can do our part and request it. (Thank Hawa for that idea). Stay clicked for a major announcement regarding the site soon, and do not forget -- I love you. -- Dominique. (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown's Silver Screen Dreams |
Original Date: July 1, 2007 @ 08:12AM (VNU eMedia) -- Chris Brown's crossover appeal isn't relegated to music. His brief-but-memorable role in the box-office winner "Stomp the Yard" has opened the door to two more Screen Gems projects. In "This Christmas," Brown tackles a meatier role as the youngest sibling ("Baby") in a family whose matriarch disapproves of music as a career. The "Soul Food"-esque ensemble comedy/drama stars Idris Elba, Mekhi Phifer, Loretta Devine, Regina King and Brown's "Stomp" castmate Columbus Short. Brown brings a naturalness to the character, who has several of the film's funniest lines. He also gets the chance to show off a singing voice that's growing more nuanced. Judging by the 13-49 audience reaction at a recent test screening (young females screamed at the first Brown sighting), "This Christmas" will do well at the box office. It's slated for release Thanksgiving weekend. Currently in negotiation is Brown's third film role as a high school basketball player who learns he's the illegitimate son of a veteran NBA star. "Phenom" is due to start production later this year. The acting half of Brown's singer/actor portfolio has been a work in progress during the last two to three years. "Crossing someone over from music into film is more difficult than you might think," says Andrea Nelson Meigs, Brown's film agent at International Creative Management (ICM). She also represents Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige. "There's an education process and strategy in talking with producers, directors and casting agents who will say, 'Who?,' despite an artist selling X number of units or appearing on magazine covers. The most proud moment is when you get those calls coming back. We're there now." One of those calls netted Brown a multiple-episode arc earlier this year on the now-ended TV series "The OC." Meigs says she, Brown's manager Tina Davis and the artist are reviewing other scripts, ranging from action and comedies to thrillers with an eye toward dramas and Broadway down the line. Producing projects rather than acting is another option being explored. The trick is to maintain mystique while capitalizing on the momentum, Davis adds. That is why she has been very selective on the endorsement front. Brown was featured in a Gap hoodie campaign last year and has been approached by Adidas. But because Brown wears Nike (NYSE:NKE) more and Nike doesn't do deals with entertainers, she and Brown opted not to do a shoe deal now. "Endorsements are part of the game plan, but we're not in a rush," Davis says. "It's more about his image and it being the right fit. If you don't do everything, you can get the cream of the crop."

Original Date: June 22, 2007 @ 09:36PM Yes, he's back. The young gun from VA is roaring back onto the music scene with his latest video "Wall To Wall" from the upcoming CD Exclusive. Check out the video on BET on Monday, June 25th every hour on the hour from 11 a.m. ET/PT! You can bet that Chris Brown is bringing that heat once again, so make sure you're in front of a TV with BET on to catch the latest from the teenage hottie well before his CD comes out. And keep it locked on BET and on BET.com for the latest updates on Chris' upcoming CD! SOURCE: BET I know y'all can't wait 'til Monday!! Chris Brown is doing it big! BET has also previously done this type of airing with videos from major artists, such as Beyonce and Usher and R. Kelly. They obviously feel that this video is worthy of this special airing because Chris has become so popular and this video is so greatly anticipated.

| Leak Building Buzz For New Chris Brown Album |
Original Date: June 12, 2007 @ 07:58AM By: Gail Mitchell, L.A.  Jive Records was none too thrilled when a new Chris Brown song, "Wall to Wall," leaked in May to New York radio station WQHT (Hot 97), more than four months before the artist's sophomore album, "Exclusive," was due to hit stores. But they have to be pleased with the results: the song has climbed for five straight weeks on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, placing at No. 22 this issue."I didn't know we were going to surprise [Jive] like that," songwriter/producer Garrett says of "Wall," which unexpectedly became the first single from "Exclusive," due Aug. 28. "But it's giving us a great kickoff. Chris was ready to go. He's antsy." In addition to Bryan-Michael Cox and Garrett, among the contributors on "Exclusive" are Dre & Vidal, Scott Storch and the Underdogs. Coming in as part of the expansion team are will.i.am, T-Pain, Stargate, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, R. Kelly and Pharrell. Containing elements of rock and go-go -- the latter a nod to Brown's Virginia/Washington, D.C., roots -- new tracks previewed by Billboard demonstrate Brown's juggling act between edgy/more mature while still satisfying the radio programmers and fans behind his success. The mix of uptempo songs and ballads is in keeping with Brown's energetic fusion of R&B, hip-hop and pop. The final decision as to which tracks will make the cut won't be made until after the label's recording deadline. Aside from "Fallen Angel" (co-written by Brown and Adonis Shropshire), among the cuts in contention are the Cox-produced "Diagnosed With Love," a midtempo number whose piano intro segues into spirited bass and hand-clap accompaniment, the gospel-oriented message song "Save Me" and the will.i.am-helmed "Picture Perfect." "My last album was rocking," Brown tells Billboard. "I just want to keep moving and building." The artist will begin a tour in support of "Exclusive" in October, and in November, will hit the big screen in the film "This Christmas." SOURCE: Billboard (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown Thrills Rihanna With 'Umbrella' Remix |
Original Date: June 12, 2007 @ 06:52AM R&B star Chris Brown is such a huge fan of Rihanna's smash hit Umbrella he has paid for studio time to remix the track. The singer begged Rihanna to let him revamp the hit, and then went ahead with his plans while he was awaiting her Ok and she's thrilled with his efforts, which he has dubbed Cinderella. Rihanna says, "He was very anxious, he wanted to do it from the beginning. He said, 'I wanna remix Umbrella,' and he just kept asking me and asking me. "Then one day he just called me; he was in the studio and he said, 'I'm remixing Umbrella right now!' and he just did it. "He paid the engineer, he paid for his own studio time, he did it."

| The Real Deal: Chris Brown |
Original Date: June 9, 2007 @ 11:52PM The following is an excerpt from Billboard Magazine's current issue. Scans will be available as soon as I receive the magazine in the mail (we've been subscribing to it just for this specific reason!). Enjoy! By: GAIL MITCHELL  He's always bouncing, singing, dancing, just moving in one way or another—this is well-known to anyone who's spent more than a few minutes in his presence. Recently, the young singer channeled that energy in Atlanta with songwriter/producer Sean Garrett. The two were at work recording a track for Brown's follow-up to his self-titled debut album.As Brown played with Diamond, his pitbull puppy, the two tossed around ideas for tracks. Twenty minutes later, Garrett had written a hook that popped into his head, and the two were well on their way to finishing the song "Wall to Wall." Then it was Brown's label Jive's turn to be fidgety (the album will be released on Jive/Zomba). In early May, a few weeks after the recording session—nearly four full months before the Aug. 28 street date of Brown's next album, "Exclusive"—"Wall to Wall" leaked to New York's WQHT (Hot 97). "I didn't know we were going to surprise [Jive] like that," Garrett says of "Wall," which unexpectedly became the "Exclusive" first single. "But it's giving us a great kickoff. Chris was ready to go. He's antsy." So was radio—to start playing the single. The song has climbed for five straight weeks on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, placing at No. 22 this issue. Acknowledging that the Jive team wasn't exactly thrilled by the leak, manager Tina Davis says, "My thought was to get my artist in here and go. It's not like Chris was on the same date as [labelmates] R. Kelly or T-Pain. But if we had waited three to four weeks longer, he would have been on top of another release. Look at all the male artists out now. It's more about the record than having a big launch." When Brown's first album was released, the label had a pretty clear playing field on which to develop the new artist. Justin Timberlake was still working on sophomore set "FutureSex/LoveSounds" as was Ciara with "Promise," both of which were released last year. Besides Brown, Jive boasts an enviably hot plate between Kelly (May 29) and T-Pain (June 5) followed by rising rap newcomer Lil' Mama—not to mention fourth-quarter projects by Usher and Britney Spears. That's not counting key releases from other labels, including Kelly Rowland (July 3), Mario (July 31) and Kanye West (August). In a music industry climate where the term "career artist" is becoming a rare commodity, Brown and Davis are fervently committed to bucking that notion by way of a methodical game plan, geared to propel him from teen singer to songwriter/producer to all-around adult entertainer.

| Pharrell, Will.I.Am Joining Chris Brown's Exclusive Club |
Original Date: May 15, 2007 @ 08:08AM Does Chris Brown's new single have you amped for some "Wall to Wall" action from the R&B phenom? Now you have an Exclusive date to look forward to: August 28. Jive Records has not only set the release date for Brown's second album but also let more collaborators' names out of the bag, including Pharrell, Will.I.Am and Bryan-Michael Cox, who worked on Brown's debut in 2005. "Chris, he's older," Cox said recently about the new album. "It's that transition from being a teenager to a man. We're talking about more mature things, but not too mature. He's singing, dancing, he's only getting better. He's more focused than he's ever been. Chris is very competitive and his competitive sprit motivates the people around him. His competitive spirit motivated me to make nine records in seven days. I think all nine are going to make it. We're trying to create a creative synergy." Jazze Pha says he's also trying to get in the lab with the Virginia teen as well. The tracks are ready and waiting for him. "I'm doing some stuff for the Chris Brown album as we speak," Pha said. "It's been going good. I just need for him to hear the record. He's been running. I've sat and listened to a few of [Chris' new] records. I think he's going in the right direction. They keeping him young, they keeping him hot. It's a little more edgy on this album, but he's growing up. He's not vocally challenged, he's pretty good. He's pretty hot with his vocals. I don't think anything will be a problem for him." Pha is co-owner of a clothing store in Atlanta called Knitch, where Brown recently purchased the attire for his 18th birthday party. "He came in Knitch shopping for clothes for the party," the producer explained. "I have stylists in my store, I let them get with him and pick out stuff." "Wall to Wall," the first single from Brown's Exclusive LP, was released a week and a half ago. In the song, the singer finds himself surrounded by females. What else is new?

| 'Wall To Wall' Makes a Solid Debut |
Original Date: May 15, 2007 @ 07:39AM Chris Brown's new single, 'Wall To Wall', that's not really supposed to be making waves (yet), managed to debut at #38 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs this week. The single was leaked by Chris himself to radio in New York, against his record label's wishes, but it's seems that Chris knew what he was doing and is determined to show us all that he has staying power. The question that arises now is, will Chris Brown be able to survive the sophomore slump?! Let's avoid the tragedy, that so many artists have had to endure, never come true for Chris. Call in and request 'Wall To Wall' at your local radio stations so he can have a number one just based on airplays, and make sure you purchase it when it's available for sale. We'll keep you updated.

You can thank Sandra Rose for allowing you to see what Chris has been up to underneath his clothes (working out). Oh, and yeah he has a new tattoo. Rumor has it that it's a skull with something inside, but I'm not sure. We'll find out what it is. I do know that is why he is wearing that band-aid that blends so perfectly with his skin though. HAHA! Oh, and now the reports are pouring out about the leaking of 'Wall To Wall'. We told you here first the real deal and who leaked it (way to go subliminal messages). We know, we're the coolest. <3  (Permalink) |

| "Exclusive" Album Info |
Original Date: April 21, 2007 @ 10:49AM *Chris Brown says he’s not trying to be too grown with his forthcoming sophomore album, “Exclusive,” but the September release from Jive will reflect the singer’s steady journey toward adulthood. "I'll be 18, but I'm not trying to go overboard and lose my fans,” the superstar told Billboard in December. “I'm trying to have a bit more mature songs, about sexuality and stuff like that. I'm not trying to go deep into it." The album will include production by Bryan-Michael Cox, the Underdogs, Sean Garrett, Scott Storch and will.i.am. The sound will build upon his established swirl of R&B, hip hop and pop. Brown said “Exclusive” will also contain elements of rock and Washington D.C.’s go-go. "Being from Virginia, I've got to go back to my go-go roots," he explains to Billboard. SOURCE: EURWeb.com R&B teen sensation Chris Brown is slated to drop a new album this Fall via Jive Records. According to Billboard, Brown plans to release his sophomore album Exclusive in September. While Chris put his own songwriting skills to work on this outing, he's also joined up with powerhouse songwriter/producers Bryan-Michael Cox, the Underdogs, Scott Storch, will.i.am and Sean Garrett; most of whom also helped out on his self-titled debut. Fans can anticipate that Exclusive will bring more of Brown's catchy blend of R&B, hip-hop and pop, while also introducing some rock and go-go influences. "Being from Virginia, I've got to go back to my go-go roots," Brown told Billboard.com. Chris also responded to the constant comparisons to Usher saying, "It's nice but I don't focus on that. I think I've strayed away from now. I'm in a lane of my own, just having fun and making it to the best of my ability." Brown turns 18 next month, and while he admits he plans to make more mature music for the upcoming album he says he's in no rush to outgrow his core audience "I'm not trying to go grown," Brown told Billboard in December. "I'll be 18, but I'm not trying to go overboard and lose my fans. I'm trying to have a bit more mature songs, about sexuality and stuff like that. I'm not trying to go deep into it." Brown described one such song, the Underdogs-produced track "Take You Down, adding, "in a sense, that's stepping over the 18, 19 boundary to get an older crowd." SOURCE: SOHH Soulful (Permalink) |

| Vibe Reveals Album News |
Original Date: April 17, 2007 @ 07:37PM I know. I'm late as usual. I suck, oh well. The title's sound promising. Now, let's see if the actual tracks can deliver. Oh, and good for Chris -- he's actually writing this time. Tracks have been put down. Your baby's album is on the calendar. The second album from singing/dancing/acting sensation Chris Brown, who turns 18 this May 5, is scheduled to drop in September on Jive. Tenatively titled Exclusive, Brown has recorded over 60 songs for the record, according to representatives from his label, and has just begun the culling process. Rumored tracks include: "Get at Ya" (prod by Underdogs) "Girlfriend" (written by Chris Brown & Tank, prod by will.i.am) "Wall to Wall" (written by Sean Garrett, prod by Swizz Beatz) "Throwed" (prod by Bryan Michael Cox) "I'll Call Ya" (written by Sean Garrett, prod by Swizz Beatz) "Hold Up" (prod by Dre & Vidal) "Take U Down" (prod by Underdogs) "Back to Back" (written by Chris Brown & Adonis, prod by Bryan Michael Cox) "With You" (written by Johnta Austin, prod by Stargate) "Fallen Angel" (written by Chris Brown, Adonis; prod by Bryan Michael Cox) "Heart and Brain" (prod by Underdogs) Brown is nowhere near finished with the album - he's still scheduled to hit the studio with Pharrell, Timbaland and Justin Timberlake, before he goes in for another track with will.i.am (not to mention his rumored appearance on Michael Jackson's comeback album). But first, he's headed to Australia to open for Beyonce's "Beyonce Experience" tour, beginning April 21. And if you were one of the fans in the movie theaters who screamed every time his face came onscreen during Stomp the Yard, fear not: you'll have many more chances to exercise those pipes. This year, he'll star in the uplifting dance movie After School, and the heartwarming holiday flick This Christmas. He's also scheduled to portray a high school basketball star in Phenom - should be no departure from the man's own well-documented court skills. Commence shrieking. SOURCE: Vibe (Permalink) |

| Update on Song with Terrence Howard |
Original Date: March 24, 2007 @ 05:05PM Turns out the real name of the song is "The Music Can't Be Wrong." Sorry about any confusion. TERRENCE HOWARD & CHRIS BROWN: Making Music By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices Fresh off making the scene with former supermodel Naomi Campbell, Terrence Howard has designs on taking on the music business -- once again. The Academy Award nominated heartthrob won't be playing the role of a low-down petty pimp from Memphis (like in 'Hustle & Flow'), either. 'MTV Radio Network' reports that Howard is working on a debut album, already finishing four songs at recording studios in Los Angeles. Over the weekend, the 'Crash' star collaborated with platinum-plated R&B hottie Chris Brown -- in a chance encounter. "I'm in the studio doing this song called 'The Music Can't Be Wrong,'" he explained. "And I mean it's a hot song. And out of nowhere Chris Brown walks in. He came in and just listened to the track and went in the booth. An hour later, I've got my first single, and it's an incredible song. It's the true heir of all of American music." Musically, Howard also cited inspiration from new-school soul singers: "Corinne Bailey Rae, what she does is just beyond. And still John Legend, still Anthony Hamilton. I mean I like singer-songwriters, soulful individuals, so that's where my interests lie." His yet to be titled debut project reportedly will be released via Sony Music. A Sony spokesperson did not respond to queries seeking confirmation. Howard's latest movie 'Pride,' co-starring Bernie Mac, Evan Ross and Kimberly Elise, arrives in theaters March 23.

| Chris Talks About New CD |
Original Date: March 21, 2007 @ 01:31PM Sounds like the album is coming along quite well! The single might be coming out very soon! Chris Brown Primes New LP, Gets Ready To Conquer Australia With Beyonce Exclusive due in August; first single could be out in a couple of weeks. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Yasmine Richard Although Chris Brown's latest single is called "Poppin'," the title is a bit of a foregone conclusion for the teen singer. Ever since his self-titled debut dropped, he's rocked two Scream Tours, made his big-screen debut in "Stomp the Yard" and showed off some electrifying dance steps as a part of the James Brown tribute during the Grammy Awards last month. And while Brown's kept busy with a heavy slate of acting roles and just announced his latest film exclusively to MTV News, he said he's definitely ready to return to music with his sophomore album, Exclusive, which is slated for release in August on Jive Records. "It's kind of like a back-to-school present for everybody," Brown told MTV News at Dub magazine's Custom Auto Show & Concert in Los Angeles last weekend. "We coming with more videos, more explosive dance moves and more vocal abilities. So we gonna have fun." The album's first single is still up in the air, according to Brown, but he's debating between two tracks: "Picture Perfect" and "Throwed." Brown didn't want to give up too many details about the two songs, but he said fans should be able to hear one of them soon, possibly within the next two weeks. Currently, the Virginia native is gearing up to join Beyoncé as the opening act on the Australian leg of her tour. Initially Brown had hopes of pairing with Justin Timberlake, but when those plans didn't materialize, he quickly jumped at the chance to team up with B. He hastened to say that he has no intention of upstaging her. "For the most part, I don't try to outdo anyone or try to make my show to the point where I kill myself trying to shine over someone else," he said. "She's incredible at what she does and I'm incredible at what I do. I know she's gonna kill it on her side as a female, and as a young male, I'm gonna try to do my thing." Asked whether the time on the road with Beyoncé could lead to a collaboration between the two, Brown was more than excited by the idea. "I hope so!" he enthused. "I'm trying to holler."

| "Rip the Runway" Coverage |
Original Date: March 7, 2007 @ 01:50PM In the past couple of days there have been a lot of updates about "Rip the Runway," but I am here to give you the behind the scenes info on the show. Let me start by saying that it was very cold that day, so all the fans that came and stood outside for hours to get in are very dedicated! They started letting people in at around 5 p.m., and since I was with the press, I had to go upstairs with the photographer to the red carpet to get footage. I was very excited because I knew that Chris would be walking down it at any given moment. They were announcing the people as they came in, and all the photographers and reporters were set up waiting for the celebrities. As the talent came in, they would announce their names, and send them around to the press to do interviews. I stood next to the BET News lady to make sure that I would get the opportunity to talk to Chris. Chris was one of the first people to come in since he was hosting the show, and needed to set up for that. He came on the red carpet, posed for pictures, and then started answering the questions the reporters had for him. Nothing was discussed that we all don't already know about. He just said was he was wearing (which you can see in the pictures), and he mentioned his album, as well as the new movie, "This Christmas." While he was posing for the pictures, a girl I was chatting with from US Weekly pointed out to me that Chris Brown and I both had on sparkley skull belts! I was very enthusiastic about meeting him, but the rest of the press were just there to do their jobs, so they weren't as excited as I was. I had to talk fast in order to get a chance to speak with Chris, because his publicist took him around the room very quickly. When I stated that I was from CB Web, the woman in charge made sure that I got the chance to say hello to Chris. When Chris came over I introduced myself, and told him I was from this site. He thanked me, and told me how appreciative he was. He even threw in the word "baby!" He shook my hand, and while still holding my hand, we posed for a few pictures. Then he had to move on to the next person. It all happened so fast that I didn't realize at the time that I was actually talking to Chris Brown. After he left the room I was very excited that I accomplished what I came for, and enjoyed myself as the rest of the stars came in. When I was sitting watching the show, I was sitting in front of Chris Brown's bodyguard. He was off duty that night, and he was having a good time watching the show. I didn't bother him asking about Chris since it was his day off, but I was being nice and making conversation to get on his good side! The show airs on March 14th at 10pm EST on BET, so you can see for yourself how the show went! We will definitely have more exclusive behind the scenes coverage at different events, but for this one, I would like to give a big thank you to Tina Davis' assistant, Christi Angel for setting this up! Also a special thanks to everyone who is congratulating me through emails and comments. Yes, I was lucky that day, but everyone will get the chance to meet him one day. Just keep on believing!

Original Date: March 7, 2007 @ 07:56AM  I am sure that Bianca will cherish this moment forevermore, and I'm more than certain that she will reveal all of the juicy details that she gave me about last night to you! As pictured above, she probably was smiling the whole night. It's amazing what one fansite can do, huh? We've gone from a measly 200 visitors a day to a good 10,000+ daily network average and have the ability to cover major events that even local newspapers cannot gain access too. I just want to use this picture, photographed by the amazingly great photographer "Q", as the symbol of our new beginning and the rebirth of what a fansite ought to be. At this time we are currently only 700 visits away from 3,000,000 documented unique visitors! This is a major accomplishment for any site, let alone one that has only been online for a year and a half! This whole journey thus far has been great, and I've learned so much about people on the way, and I just want to thank everyone that has aided us in the past, currently, and will in the future. Your love and support is truly appreciated and don't you ever forget it. (Permalink) |

Original Date: March 6, 2007 @ 06:30PM So, I get this wonderful comment on my MySpace from a good friend of mine and avid Chris Brown (Web) fan, Nathaniel. Here's what he had to say: "BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! BIANCA! JUST MET CHRIS BROWN ON TUESDAY, MARCH 6 2007 ON THE RED CARPET OF "RIP THE RUNWAY" IN NEW YORK CITY.

SHE TOOK NUMEROUS PICTURES WITH HIM, SHE STATED THAT SHE TOOK PICTURES OF HIM ON HER PHONE AND SOMEHOW THEY WERE WEARING THE SAME BELT, THE SAME BELT Y'ALL. WITH A SKULL ON IT! NOT ONLY DID BIANCA KNOW THAT CHRIS BROWN WAS GOING TO BE IN THE BUILDING, BUT SHE ALSO HAD A SENSE OF STYLE OF WHAT THE R'N B SINGER WAS GOING TO SPORT. CHRIS BROWN SAID TO BIANCA ...

| David Banner Learns From Chris Brown |
Original Date: March 2, 2007 @ 10:58PM You have to give David Banner credit for not taking credit where credit isn't due. (Follow that?) While he's never shied away from talking up his own projects, the rapper/producer was refreshingly honest when revealing details about a recent collaboration with Chris Brown. "Most of the time, when I go into the studio to work with artists, I have to vocal-coach them and tighten up some of the lyrics," Banner said. "With Chris, I just had to say, 'Sing another take,' just so I could be involved with it in some kind of way and say I produced the record. But honestly, Chris wrote the record, he vocal-arranged it himself, and I was in there more as a spectator than a producer." The gospel-inspired song is called "Save Me" and will likely be featured on Brown's upcoming second album. And in return for Banner's, um, work, the R&B newbie is lending his vocals to the Mississippi rapper's next release. "Chris is actually a really good friend of mine," said Banner, noting that the two even work out at the same Los Angeles gym. "I've been able to see him blossom, and actually it's crazy: Chris tells me he learns a lot from me all the time, but I actually learn a lot from him too. He has been the same way from when I met him when he was working on the first album until where he is now. He has a lot more diamonds on his wrist and a nicer car, but he's the same person." Besides collaborating in the studio, Banner and Brown are also co-starring in what is the second movie for each, "This Christmas". "I always wanted to do a Christmas movie about what really happens for us in the 'hood during Christmas, 'cause Christmas isn't really a good time for people where I'm from," Banner said. "What I do like about 'This Christmas' is it really shows that it doesn't matter what kind of family you have — black, white, Latino — we all bring a lot of problems home. We also bring a lot of light and a lot of joy home too, so 'This Christmas' really shows how this synthesis works." Watch Chris Brown's behind-the-scenes preview of "This Christmas." Banner, who also appears in "Black Snake Moan," opening Friday (March 2), has been using his movie money to subsidize his music career (see "David Banner's Plan To 'Get Money': Put Out 'Best Record Ever,' Amp Up Movie Career"). And the freedom to spend more time in the studio has resulted in what he's boldly calling "the best album ever in history." (We told you he's not shy.) "When Kanye [West] was trippin' about how he felt like he should have gotten an award [at the MTV Europe Music Awards last fall], I started feeling that, 'cause when I come out this time, if I don't get what I know I deserve, there's gonna be a problem," Banner said. "I have a phenomenal album." So far, guests include T.I., Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Carl Thomas, Akon and, of course, Brown. "Lil Wayne blessed me with the verse of the century," Banner said. "Akon hit me with the hottest tracks, [as did] Cool & Dre and Lil Jon." Banner is currently "in a big war" over the album's title but wants something "regal," like his previous release Mississippi: The Album. He attributes the quality of the album to his recent calm demeanor. "I'm able to listen to a song for four or five months now, and if there's something I feel like I should do better, I do it better," he said. SOURCE: MTVNEWS (Permalink) |
| Chris Brown's Sidekick Was NOT Hacked! |
Original Date: March 1, 2007 @ 07:43PM WE HAVE OFFICIAL WORD THAT THE PICTURES AND RUMORS OF HIS SIDEKICK BEING HACKED OR STOLEN ARE FALSE! Chris Brown's management revealed exclusively to Chris Brown Web that it wasn't him, and that "He doesn't have any pornographic pictures of him in his sidekick and it hasn't been hacked." Shame, shame CLoop. Eat your hearts out! If this is the case, the persons responsible will more than likely be held accountable for child pornography charges since he is still underage. CBWeb will cover the story in-depth in a few hours. As for now, we can almost safely say that the X-rated pictures of Chris Brown "naked" are fakes. There is ample evidence of this story being manufactured. Click here (image removed) to view a screenshot of the site with the fake pictures. (BEWARE: NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR FOR USERS UNDER THE AGE OF 18!) As of now, the site appears to have been deleted. Also, CBWeb would like to lay shame on all of the individuals and websites that are supporting this horrible falsehood. IMAGE SOURCE: Rhymes with Snitch (Permalink) |

| Interview: New Movie |
Original Date: February 19, 2007 @ 08:14PM It's long, but it's a good one! Chris Brown: On the Set of His New Film! Feb 19, 2007 - Lynn Barker 17-year-old musical artist/actor Chris Brown hit charts with the popular "Run It" from his debut album in 2005. Then, the cute young artist hit the road for the Up Close and Personal Tour last summer and is now working on his sophomore CD tentatively titled "Exclusive". But, stop with music? No way. After some TV guest shots, the young talent hit the big screen in Stomp the Yard co-starring with Ne-Yo, Meagan Good and Columbus Short. Currently, Chris is shooting the feature film This Christmas, a family story due out this next holiday season. We were invited to check out the set near L.A. and talk with Chris. The interior set for the home of the Whitfield family is very impressive; a beautiful living and dining room filled with great, colorful African art influences. We caught up with the young star between scenes and grabbed some exclusive time outside his trailer on a sunny California day. TeenHollywood: How did you get involved in doing this film? Chris: I did Stomp the Yard for Screen Gems and Clint Culpepper, the head of Screen Gems, called me again about another movie This Christmas that's going to be a great look for the Holidays. I was a little skeptical, at first, because I was still balancing my album trying to get everything done but he's like 'oh, we can balance that schedule for you'. I'm like 'I'm cool with it'. I read the script. I was a great script. Had a lot of great actors in it; talkin' about Columbus Short, who was in Stomp the Yard with me, Delroy Lindo, Loretta Devine, Regina King, Lauren London, Keith Robinson, Laz Alonzo; a lot of great cast. From top to bottom, it was just a great look. I knew I could get my acting chops better by working with all these great people so I joined them. TeenHollywood: What is the story of the movie? Chris: It's about this family coming together for Christmas and they go through ups and downs, problems within the family. There are little twists in the movie but it's just a great family film for all ages, groups, demographics. TeenHollywood: Who do you play? Chris: They call me Baby and I'm the youngest out of everybody. I'm like the kid who has a lot of girls, I got a motorcycle and I've got issues but I'm the one who tries to make fun out of every situation and I get away with a lot so I'm always the one who is bragging. TeenHollywood: So can you ride a cycle or did they get you a stunt man? Chris: They got me doin' some stuff on the bike but they got a little stuntman too. They asked me if I could ride and I've got 4-wheelers and dirt bikes at my house so I'm familiar with all that back in the country. I can do all that. TeenHollywood: What scene did you shoot today on This Christmas? Chris: I shot a scene where I'm getting fussed at by my parents, my mom is fussing at my sisters and me because we snuck out and stuff. It's funny but it's about regular kids getting in trouble. TeenHollywood: What is Christmas like around your house? Chris: Christmas is hectic. Everybody's over at my house during Christmas. People arrive on 4-wheelers and we have cook-outs and party all night. It's fun! TeenHollywood: Where are you living now? Chris: I live in Virginia. I moved back home. TeenHollywood: So you just came out here for this movie? Chris: Oh yeah. I ain't never gonna be Hollywood. I'm always country. TeenHollywood: What do you want to say to your fans who might not be too familiar with your movie work? Chris: Well, this movie is gonna show another side of my acting in family issues that everybody can go through. They can just see me blossoming into something bigger and better for the future. TeenHollywood: Who is your role model as far as acting is concerned? Chris: It's a lot of different people. There are so many talented young actors and actresses out there now and [I like] The Rock. The Rock is a great actor, definitely Will Smith, Columbus Short is a great actor Keith Robinson, Beyonce is also an incredible actress as well as Regina King, Loretta Devine. There are so many great ones. TeenHollywood: Who would you like to co-star in a film with if you could pick anybody? Chris: Wow, Denzel Washington! TeenHollywood: Do you have your own clothing style or do you like someone's style and try to dress a little like them? [Today, Chris is in a green and white Nike zip up jacket and jeans] Chris: Well, for the most part, I don't try that. That's like high school. I don't try to do that. Now, it's more along the lines of me setting a trend and being an individual and settin' it where people want to dress like me instead of me dressing like other people. I dress the best way I can and if it don't match, then they can say it but I ain't had no complaints yet! TeenHollywood: How do you think girls your age should treat a guy if they want to get close to him? Chris: They can be themselves. I'm not gonna tell 'um a certain way because there shouldn't be one way you have to treat a guy, it should be both ways, an equal level of respect and courtesy so I think both people, if they like each other and click, then it's just that connection. TeenHollywood: If a girl is going to get a date with you, what does she have to do? Chris: She has to put up with my schedule. That's the only thing. My schedule is non-stop so the date might be five to ten minutes long. She'd have to be acceptable to that. TeenHollywood: It must be hard to get anything going then. Chris: Yeah. You know that! I ain't got no girlfriend right now. I'm lookin' but I know my schedule is so heavy. Sometimes [dating] isn't even an option. TeenHollywood: You are trying to keep the music and the acting separate? Chris: Yeah. Well, I sing in this movie but it's not Chris Brown singing, not a whole performance sequence of me, the entertainer side. I really want to show other talents that I'm born with like basketball in other movies. I think my next movie is gonna be a basketball movie. But, right now, my music and my acting is gonna be totally different. My acting name is going to probably be Christopher Brown or Christopher Maurice and then my singing, I'm just going to keep Chris Brown. TeenHollywood: What would you like to say to people out there who still haven't seen you in an acting role? Chris: I'm just gonna let the audience decide. That's what makes a hundred percent of everything work anyway; the audience. They buy. They're the consumer. I'm just going to say, when they see me in a movie, I think they're gonna be surprised. I really didn't have too many acting coaches. In my first movie, I didn't have an acting coach. On this movie, I really didn't have one. It's just me, all natural, just trying to show my ability. TeenHollywood: What music are you listening to now? Chris: I'm listening to Akon, Young Jeezy, Jay-Z, Beyonce, I'm talkin' about Rascal Flatts, everybody. Little Wayne. There are a lot of hip hop artists I'm listening to. TeenHollywood: What movie last year, Oscar buzz or not, did you most enjoy? Chris: X-Men! I love that. TeenHollywood: Would you like to be in a super hero movie? Chris: Definitely! I'm open to a lot of different movies. TeenHollywood: What were your favorite comic book heroes growing up? Chris: SpiderMan and Batman. They might have to create a new superhero for me to play! Chris is leaving the shoot for the day and climbs into the driver's seat of a huge, black suburban SUV with his manager/agent riding shotgun. He waves and takes off for the highway. All roads lead to good destinations for this talented teen. Source: TeenMusic.com Thank you to radioxstar for posting on the forum. (Permalink) |

Original Date: February 18, 2007 @ 10:27AM The prize is a copy of the NBA Street Series Vol. 4 DVD, hosted by Chris Brown. The contest rules and regulations have not been drawn up yet, but I thought I'd fill you in on a little of the behind the scenes action. Just to let you know that there will be two winners of this contest. They will receive a copy of the DVD, courtesy of Warner Bros. and Chris Brown Web. I hate to inform all of the international fans, but this one is still only open for U.S. residents. International contests will be held later on. More details will be made available on Tuesday.

| Let Me Take You Down |
Original Date: February 18, 2007 @ 10:22AM Ignore the rumors of "Let Me Take You Down". It is indeed a track that has been recorded, but there is a chance that it won't make the album, which is tentatively titled "Exclusive". There is no possible way a single can be chosen without recording being more than 75% complete. Chris is still working on his films and recording throughout the year, so all of the single rumors should be disregarded. Of course, if there is truly a single we will be the first to let you know. You know that we stay on it. (Permalink) |

| Save This Soul |
Original Date: February 17, 2007 @ 08:28AM  Don't patronize me. I'm highly aware that this is a Chris Brown fansite, but keep in mind: I run the show. I can speak my mind because this is also my outlet. I tend to voice my opinion on things here, because I know at least 10,000 people will hear what I have to say - so I'm going to take advantage of this factor. If I lose support over this, so be it. However, if you are human and have any sort of remorse for ANY one you'll understand my view-point. Keep in mind that Britney and Chris are on the same record label, and have been rumored to have recorded a song together. Anyway -- let me start off by saying that I, Dominique Lorenz Houston, am a die hard Britney Spears supporter and fanatic. Britney Spears is to me what Chris Brown is to a lot of you that visit the site regularly and are damn near obsessed. She's my inspiration on so many levels that it's indescribable. You probably already know that Britney is going through a rough time right now in her life, like most of do. I was fortune enough to escape the trials of depression and anxiety at a young age last year, but it could not possibly be on the scale that Britney's is on. She has to worry about people watching her EVERY move, and I can only imagine that constant pressure to be perfect. She's human, and humans are dysfunctional-ly sane, whether you want to admit it or not. I'm just asking that everyone that has at least a sliver of a heart support her. She's a person in need, not just a ultra-pop star. She's a person first. Support her as if she was your own sister. Let her know that woman to woman, man to woman, person to person, you are concerned for her well-being -- just as you would if she were Chris or your own family member. I'm aware that she is now bald. I find it weird that she did this, because towards the end of my depression I up and did the same thing. I cut all of my hair off, and started anew. Hopefully she is doing the same. I pray that this is the rebirth. Click here to learn how you can show your support for her. I beg of you. Please. This is the last attempt I am going to make. I'm desperate, it's true. Keep your negativity to a minimum, because ignorance is not bliss. (Permalink) |

Original Date: February 15, 2007 @ 04:02PM Okay, let me set some thing straight. The downloadable videos might not be made available for a while. I understand everyone wants the performances and whatnot for their iPods but I don't, personally, have time to upload all of them and add them to the database. As for images, they will remain tagged the way they are. I've changed the tags over time to try to accommodate novice graphic designers, but I double tag them for a reason. Any questions?

| Tappahannock phenom loses out to former 'American Idol' champ at Grammys |
Original Date: February 12, 2007 @ 09:15AM Essex County may be country-music territory, but Carrie Underwood's Best New Artist win at the Grammys last night probably disappointed thousands of locals rooting for hometown favorite Chris Brown. The teenage R&B phenomenon from Tappahannock was one of the nominees who lost out to the former "American Idol" in that category. Underwood's "Some Hearts" is the fastest-selling debut country-music album ever. Four years ago, Brown's father, Clinton Brown, met a music-business type while working at the Valero gas station on U.S. 360 in Tappahannock, and talked him into listening to 13-year-old Chris sing. In 2005, when he was 16, his first Jive Records single, "Run It!" made Brown--who appears at Nissan Pavilion tomorrow--the youngest male solo artist to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album, "Chris Brown," has sold 2 million copies worldwide. Two other singles from the album, "Yo (Excuse Me, Miss)" and "Gimme That," also became hits. Not long ago, he was a student at Essex High School hawking T-shirts he'd designed himself. "I was going to go into fashion design," Brown told The Free Lance-Star recently. "I used to go home and get cereal boxes--anything with a design on it--and I used to freehand it on T-shirts, jeans, sneakers, anything I could." He quickly turned it into a nice little business. "I used to make my own clothes, and I made almost $4,000 one year selling clothes in high school." Brown said he learned a valuable lesson doing that: "Put your work out there. Let people see your work and see what you can do. If people don't like it, try something different--but work on your craft." SOURCE: Fredericksburg.com (Permalink) |
| A Few Reviews On Chris Brown's Grammy's Performance |
Original Date: February 12, 2007 @ 08:55AM  MARY J BLIGE, CHRISTINA AGUILERA and R+B sensation CHRIS BROWN raised the roof with stunning showcases. All three earned standing ovations. Multi-award winner Blige then returned to perform with double winner LUDACRIS. Aguilera paid tribute to late soul star JAMES BROWN with a rousing rendition of his anthem IT'S A MAN'S, MAN'S, MAN'S WORLD, while the Godfather of Soul's namesake, Chris Brown, performed his hit RUN IT with a fractured foot. Brave Brown later brought the house down when he performed a dance tribute to James Brown. As he exited the stage, the soul legend's longtime sidekick and announcer DANNY RAY entered from the shadows to rapturous applause. Ray draped his late boss' famous cape over a vacant microphone stand as part of his simple but moving personal tribute. SOURCE: Contactmusic.com Why did Chris Brown have a mask on? Was he auditioning for Slipknot there? If so, Stomp the Yard isn't what they are looking for. This is really strange. He just jumped off a trampoline. Had little kids dancing all chaotic and such, and here are Lionel and Smokey trying to catch their breath from walking up the stairs. SOURCE: TVGuide.com There was a GREAT tribute to soul music done by Smokey Robinson, Lionel Richie and Chris Brown. Vocally all of the performances were great. Smokey sang Tracks of My Tears dressed in a lace black shirt he borrowed from Verdeen White’s closet. Smokey seems to be the latest to fall victim to one of the shops on Rodeo Drive. Lionel Richie gave an awesome performance as usual as he sung his 1983 hit Hello. Lastly, youngster Chris Brown paid homage to the Divine 9 while plugging his new movie Stomp the Yard. His performance was energetic and the highlight of the show. Last but not least, the Grammy’s paid tribute to the greats who are no longer with us the last being James Brown. Christina Aguilera belted out a soulful rendition of This Is a Man’s World. That lil’ sista’s got soul. Chris Brown followed her up with a dance tribute to the King of Soul. Lastly, James’ cape made its last stage appearance as his “cape guy” hung it on the mic. Rest in peace KING of SOUL.

| Tappahannock's Chris Brown facing long odds at Grammys tonight |
Original Date: February 11, 2007 @ 11:14AM Fredericksburg, VA- MTV.com has posted odds on who's going to win Best New Artist tonight (tune in to CBS at 8 p.m.) at the Grammys. Here's what the Web site said about one nominee, Tappahannock native and teen R&B phenomenon Chris Brown: Why he'll win: If Academy voters are looking to cast their stamp of approval on a rising star, then Brown is clearly their guy. Not yet 18, he's already recorded a platinum-plus album and starred in a certified box-office blockbuster ("Stomp the Yard"), plus, we hear he's quite popular with the young ladies. If he did win Best New Artist, he wouldn't be the first multiplatform guy to do so, but he would be the first in quite a while: Way back in 1961 comic/TV star Bob Newhart took home the BNA trophy for his stand-up album "Button Down Mind." Why he won't: He's very young--after all, we're talking about the Grammys here, not the Kids' Choice Awards. Plus, it's scientifically proven that Academy members react to throngs of squealing girls like Dracula reacts to sunlight.

You know Chris said Momma J hasn't been on the road for a minute, but she's back, and in full effect. She was with Chris at the Grammy Gift Lounge (Day 2) and picked up a bag of Chinese Laundry goodies. Go 'head, get it girl! I'm not mad at her. My own momma would've probably snagged her something too, especially from Chinese Laundry. Heeeeeeeey! LOL! Oh, and let's not fail to mention Chris' little tan thing going on. Looks like the Cali sun is kissing him all over. Jealous? Me too. (Permalink) |

| Grammy's Performance Update |
Original Date: February 7, 2007 @ 10:30AM  LOS ANGELES —...Robinson, a longtime pal of Richie's, had not met Brown until Monday and was eager to rehearse the sequence. "Lionel and I have never done something quite like this, and I'm very proud of Chris, so I'm looking forward to working with him, too," says the 66-year-old Motown legend, whose Timeless Love album is up for traditional pop vocal. "My response was, 'Cool.' I'm happy to do it. It's a very visible performance." Richie, who is vying for two R&B trophies, says the combos are no-brainers. "The Grammys are our family reunion," says Richie, 57. "The artists get a chance to meet new people and hang out with friends they've known forever. I was a kid in the front row when Smokey played the Fox Theater in Chicago. And the Commodores were the opening act on Smokey's farewell tour with the Miracles. Now I'm onstage as part of this legacy. And here's Chris, who has all the tools to max out his potential." Best-new-artist contender Brown, 17, is awed but not intimidated by Richie and Robinson. "I respect their status and love their music, but I try to look at them as everyday people so it doesn't psych me out," he says. His twin Grammy nominations are "what I've waited for since Day 1 of getting in the industry. It's the biggest award in music."... SOURCE: USA TODAY (Permalink) |
| 'Christmas' Keeps On Giving — Join Chris Brown On Holiday Flick's Set |
Original Date: February 6, 2007 @ 05:31PM  LOS ANGELES — Please forgive Chris Brown and Columbus Short if their smiles are a bit broader, their high-fives a bit harder and their laughs a bit louder than usual. Although Santa Claus came and left more than a month ago, the duo received their greatest gift on the weekend of January 12: a box-office vote of confidence, packaged with the knowledge that the next 12 months would be one big "Christmas" party. "I think it boosts my marketability in acting," 17-year-old Brown said last week about the recent #1 debut of "Stomp the Yard," his first film (see "Chris Brown, Ne-Yo 'Stomp' Stiller At The Box Office"). "Now I can do it for a little bit longer." "Studios and executives have said we're becoming slowly but surely bankable at the box office to open a movie," said Short, Brown's 24-year-old choreographer/ acting partner (see "New Rat Pack? Chris Brown, Columbus Short Team Up Onscreen — Again"). "Between me, Chris and Ne-Yo, we're trying to start the new little Rat Pack, so we're going to be doing a lot of projects together in the future." Their first "Stomp" follow-up is "This Christmas," which is the reason Brown and Short are standing on a palm-tree-lined L.A. street discussing Christmas lights and eggnog in February. Over one very busy week in January, Brown and Short announced the family drama while doing interviews on a Saturday; went into a studio the next day so double-Grammy nominee Brown could lay down the title track; and then opened "Stomp" to more than $25 million the following weekend. "They brought the topic to me about the movie, and I was like, 'I just did "Stomp the Yard," man, I don't know,' " Brown remembered. "But ['Stomp' and 'Christmas' studio Screen Gems] gave it to me and I was like, 'OK!' When they told me who was part of it, I was happy." Now, the California sunshine is competing with the warm family chatter coming from Short, Regina King ("Ray"), Delroy Lindo ("Sahara"), Nia Long ("Are We There Yet?"), Mekhi Phifer ("Dawn of the Dead") and other notables. Fellow "Stomp" star Ne-Yo will not be attending this holiday celebration, but as Brown jumps in front of his newfound family and mugs for the camera, another musician-turned-actor looks on with hopes of becoming the newest Rat. "I'm learning from old characters and new characters alike," said rapper David Banner, who'll be a second-time star like Brown by the time "Christmas" hits theaters in November. "It's been wonderful coming off 'Black Snake Moan' — my first movie with Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci and Justin Timberlake — to come right back here with my people and this being my second run." The group is assembled for a mid-movie shot that marks the end of a family's innocence while uniting for its first Christmas in seven years. As the Whitfields assemble on the lawn for a group photo with the spankin' new camera given to Baby (Brown), little do they know that the secrets they hide from mother Ma'Dere (Loretta Divine, a.k.a. one of the original "Dreamgirls" on Broadway) are about to be revealed like Rudolph's nose in the snowy night sky. "[Baby is] crazy about photography, and he's shooting the whole family on the stoop for the Christmas picture," Short explained. "But I have a secret — I'm married [and] I went AWOL from the Marine Corps. My sister's husband is cheating on her. There's a conglomerate of drama meshed into this family movie — a gumbo jambalaya situation." "Quentin, who is one of the main characters, owes my boss a whole lotta money," said Banner, who plays Mo in the film. "We came all the way here from Chicago to collect our money from Quentin, and I have a personal vendetta with Quentin because at the beginning of the movie, he smashes me over the head with a bottle. And people — David Banner did all his own stunts!" You can expect even more violence after Ma'Dere discovers all the secrets her kids have been keeping from her — and you can also count on tearing through half a box of Kleenex once Brown's character attempts to make things right by serenading his mom with the titular holiday classic. "I'm singing some old-school songs, and hopefully I do justice to them," Brown said. "One is called 'Try a Little Tenderness,' and of course there's Donny Hathaway's 'This Christmas.' " Watching them between takes, you can't help but notice that Short and Brown seem like they're on top of the world. Recently, however, the multiplatinum singer learned that you can still crash hard while you're soaring high. "Me being a knucklehead, I played basketball like two days ago and broke my ankle," sighed Brown, noticeably limping around the set. Still, he insisted, he won't miss a single day on the movie set and will definitely be at the Staples Center on Sunday for his two Grammy nominations. "When y'all see me at the Grammys, know that I'm going to be doing it with a fractured ankle. So if the right side is going a little slower than the other side, you know why." "He's always dancing, but he should not be dancing now because he had a little basketball injury," said Regina King, who was seen talking Brown out of a bicycle ride between takes. "He can't help it. He's a typical 17-year-old: full of energy." "I was playing with Chris a couple days before," Short remembered. "I told him, 'Do not go up for rebounds!' because he's like my little brother. ... He gets overzealous, and I'm like, 'You have a career, man. You dance. Your dancing is a pertinent part of your show!' ... Sure enough, he rolled over on his ankle." Hoping they'll have another slam-dunk in theaters come November, Brown and Short headed back inside the house for the next take. They're still smiling broader, high-fiving harder and laughing louder than ever — but for the time being, Brown will be stomping a little bit softer. SOURCE: MTV News (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown is going to see 'The Messengers' |
Original Date: February 1, 2007 @ 08:39PM In an interview with MTV news, Chris Brown talked about the movie 'The Messengers' saying: "That movie looks incredible, because even in the previews when they throw the sheets up and you can see the feet under the sheets? I was like, 'Yeah, I'm gonna go watch that!' I'm gonna be biased and say that no movie can surpass 'Stomp the Yard' ... so I'll say $19.9 million, right before the $20 million [that 'Yard' opened with]." Maybe he'll be in a theater near you!

| Video: Chris Brown on Entertainment Tonight (01.25.07) |
Original Date: February 1, 2007 @ 08:19PM Just a quick side reminder: I don't think I'll be adding new downloadable videos to ChrisBrownFiles.com, at least not in the near future. It's a hassle to upload them to YouTube and the server, and we could stand to cut down the bandwidth usage for a month or two. However, if it is a major video (i.e. Grammy performance) I will add that for sure. Anyway, enough chitter-chatter -- the video following this message is of Chris Brown on Entertainment Tonight on 01.25. He's interview briefly in the studio and they do a quick Grammy feature and highlight some of his accomplishments thus far. The big perk of this video is that you get to hear a clip of a new song! No word on the title, or if it will make the cut. We'll just have to wait it out. (Permalink) |

| 'Stomp the Yard' spent its second week in first place. |
Original Date: January 22, 2007 @ 09:41AM Step-dancing film, 'Stomp the Yard,' spent its second week at No. 1, taking in $13.3 million. The film stars Columbus Short as a Los Angeles street dancer who heads to Atlanta for college. There, two fraternities try to recruit him to help them win a step-dancing competition. Meagan Good, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown co-star. 'Stomp' narrowly beat powerhouse 'Night at the Museum,' which came in at $13 million and crossed the $200 million mark in only five weeks. 'Dreamgirls'' big wins at the Golden Globes (Best Picture -- Musical or Comedy, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor) no doubt helped the musical move up a notch, from fourth last week to third this week, with $8.7 million. Frightfest 'The Hitcher' debuted in fourth with $8.2 million. The remake of the 1986 film of the same name stars Sophia Bush and Zachary Knighton as college students whose road trip is terrorized by a hitchhiker (Sean Bean). Will Smith's feel-good movie, 'The Pursuit of Happyness,' rounded out the top five with $6.7 million. SOURCE: ET Online (Permalink) |

| The Poppin' Remix + Quick CBWeb Explanation |
Original Date: January 19, 2007 @ 10:32PM I have received a lot of e-mails trying to donate the Poppin' Remix to the site, but we've had it for a while. Times are changing at CBWeb and although we're becoming more exclusive, we are not able to do certain things we used to -- but do not fret, the fun-loving all access Chris Brown environment is not going to be lost in the midst of our continuously upgrading status. Anyway, enough of me rambling! To put it short, and simple, we have chosen not to post the Poppin' Remix in effort to boost sales of the single. The current version floating around is clearly not the final edit, because of the changes in the volume throughout the track as well as it's clarity. If you would like to check it out, regardless of it's quality and authenticity, you can head over to on of the best blogs in the world, concreteloop.com and get it 'Poppin'. Once again, click here to check the remix out. I'll leave my opinion out of this post. I'll get too much flack for what I truly think, so I'll keep it on the hush. <3 (Permalink) |

| Britney Spears Records with Chris Brown + Tabu |
Original Date: January 19, 2007 @ 08:38AM First off, let my say that I can die, personally. My all-time favorite artist, Britney Spears, has reportedly recorded with Chris! Let me take a moment to calm down... OKAY! Back to life. Man. I swear I'm gonna pass out. No track has been confirmed, but I pray it makes one of the albums or at least makes it way to the internet for me to enjoy! Anyway, here's a portion of the article taken from TMZ: Brit and company then shot over to Record Plant studio, where she met up with R&B star Chris Brown and Tabu from the Black Eyed Peas --but the only guest she seemed to care about was her new boytoy, Isaac Cohen. As the K-Fed-alike and a female friend made their way inside, photogs asked, 'Are you and Britney getting married?' The two just laughed. After the session, Isaac chivalrously offered his hat to Britney to shield her face from the waiting photogs. (Yes, she's camera shy.) The lovebirds then jumped in a car and sped off into the night.

| Get your groove on to 'Stomp The Yard' | |
Original Date: January 18, 2007 @ 08:42PM CB Web's public/media relations worker Jeff has written a review about 'Stomp the Yard' on Courierpost.com. Check it out! Get your groove on to 'Stomp The Yard'
Thursday, January 18, 2007 By JEFF LOPEZ
Static Writer Electrifying, fast-moving and dynamic are words that describe Stomp The Yard. Stomp The Yard centers on DJ (Columbus Short), a troubled youth from Los Angeles who moves to Atlanta to avoid his conviction for his role in a violent fight that cost his brother Duron (Chris Brown) his life when he was gunned down by rivals. Living with his uncle (Harry Lennix), he enrolls at Truth University, a historic and predominantly African-American institution. DJ finds trouble when he starts flirting with April, girlfriend to Grant, a popular upper-class member of a dominant fraternity, Mu Gamma Xi. DJ's showoff attitude and increasingly pro skills on the dancefloor catch the attention of a Theta Nu fraternity member whowants to benefit from DJ's sharp skills and ghetto styling by using him in his fraternity's routines. Theta Nu's leader initially disagrees with the new edgy style DJ is trying to do, but decides to use DJsince the group has lost to rivals in competitions for seven years. The film's plot starts to pop off when Grant finds he is having an affair with April. DJ watched over every sultry movement she made from jogging and listening to her iPod, to stalking her to the point that he requested her daily for history tutoring. His lovable moves lead him to suspension from the institution for lying on his entry application. This is a must-see film that has you stuck to your chair, but has you back on your feet with energetic moves. Stomp The Yard is an enjoyable film full of humor, sadness and enjoyment that executes its predictable moves with plenty of visual panache, only to get tripped up by some un-hip twists in the third act.

| Chris Brown Inks A New Deal |
Original Date: January 17, 2007 @ 09:31PM Thanks to Ruby, we have been informed that Chris Brown has joined with ICM (International Creative Management, INC). ICM is one of the largest talent and literary agencies. Chris Brown, the teen singer who made his film debut in "Stomp the Yard," has inked with ICM for representation in all areas. Agency will represent Brown's theatrical career, worldwide touring and new media and global branding opportunities. Separately, Beyonce, already repped by ICM for acting, has signed on with the agency for all areas of representation, including touring. Brown is in talks for a worldwide tour this year and recently began principal photography on his second film, "This Christmas." He recently shot three episodes of Fox's "The OC." Brown's debut album, "Chris Brown," has sold 1.8 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. He is up for two Grammy Awards, new artist and contemporary R&B album. SOURCE: Variety.comNOTE: We are almost certain he is still represented by Tina/TDC, just as Beyonce is represented by her father. We believe this just to be a part of his worldwide expansion as far as global touring, merchandising, and things of that nature. (Permalink) |

| Movies Online CA Interview |
Original Date: January 15, 2007 @ 01:15PM Big thanks to Miante. <33 (Sorry!) Movies Online recently caught up with Chris Brown at the Los Angeles Press Day for Stomp the Yard directed by award-winning music video and commercial director Sylvain White who brings his innovative visual style and explosive energy to the production. Stomp the Yard is a compelling drama about the quest for individuality and the power of fraternity. It features some of the most original and exhilarating dance performances ever filmed. When an urban dance battle ends in violence, champion street dancer DJ Williams (Columbus Short) travels from the underground clubs of inner city Los Angeles to the moneyed precincts of Atlanta’s prestigious, historically black Truth University. Although his athleticism and ambition have made him a top competitor in the gritty world of street dancing, DJ feels out of place at Truth, with its elite fraternities and expectations of professional success. It is in this alien environment that DJ discovers the world of stepping. An African-American tradition that has evolved form the centuries-old African Boot Dance, it combines precise dance steps with chants and percussive hand and foot movements. At Truth, it also plays a pivotal role in the longstanding rivalry between two campus fraternities. When DJ shows off his dance skills at a local club, he attracts the attention of Truth’s top fraternities and campus beauty April (Meagan Good), setting off a vicious feud with April’s boyfriend Grant (Darrin Henson) – who also happens to be a star stepper for Mu Gamma Xi. Chris Brown who plays DJ’s younger brother, Duran, comes to the entertainment industry fully loaded, as a talented vocalist, a versatile songwriter, an amazing dancer, an emerging actor and a blossoming young businessman. Brown is a Jive Records recording artist with a newly minted platinum album. He enjoys a rousing game of basketball, and despite his demanding career, he may still be a lot like the boy who lives next door to you. In his brief career, Brown has already won the Outstanding New Artist Award at the 2006 NAACP Awards, Best New Artist at the 2006 Soul Train Awards, and Best New R&B/Soul Artist at the 2006 BET Awards. Chris is a sensational artist and a fabulous guy and we really appreciated his time. Here’s what he had to tell us about his budding career and his new movie, Stomp the Yard: Question: You seem like a natural on screen. Chris Brown: Oh, thank you. I appreciate it. I was just waiting for everybody to respond like ‘He can’t act, he can’t act.’ (Laughs) A few good words. I appreciate it. Question: Have you been getting reaction yet for your appearance on ‘The O.C.’? CB: Actually, the people that are around me, called me and said, ‘Yo, you really did a good job.’ I actually saw it last night ‘cause I missed it. I was on a plane when it first aired. I saw the first episode I did and, personally, I think I did a great job, especially for my first time acting on a big TV show as a different character. Q: How much longer are you on there? CB: I’ve got two more episodes. I was going to do the rest of the season, but with my schedule -- I’m doing a new movie, and then I’m doing my album. Q: And then, the show was cancelled. CB: Not my fault. Q: What’s the movie you’re doing? CB: The movie is called ‘This Christmas.’ Columbus Short is actually in it, as well as Nia Long, Mekhi Phifer, Lauren London, Regina King, Loretta Devine, everybody under the sun. It’s going to be a great, great movie. Q: What role do you play? CB: I play Baby. Everybody’s the star of the movie. There’s not just one main character that it focuses on. It focuses on everybody’s life. I’m the one that sneaks off. I’m 17, 18 years old, but I’ve got a lot of girls. And, I ride a motorcycle. He’s a young rebel teenager, but it’s also a comedy. Q: Are you dancing in it? CB: No, I’m not dancing. I’m singing, though. Q: Can you rank dancing, acting and singing for you? CB: Singing, 100. Dancing, 100. Acting, 99. I would say that because acting is something new that I’m getting into and starting to love. I can’t compare dancing and singing because I do them both, together. That’s both of my passions. If I’m not dancing, I’m going to sing. If I’m not singing, I’m going to dance. Q: How are you handling the weight of being a role model? CB: Just trying to be positive, man. And, I just focus on not getting sidetracked. It’s easy to get sidetracked, especially with girls. I get sidetracked sometimes, of course, but I just focus on what’s at hand and what not to do to let people down. I don’t want to let anybody down. As far as my younger fans, I have a wide range of audience from maybe 3 to maybe 40, so it’s great to just know that I have those people that look up to me, and that means that I have a bigger job and a bigger calling that God has sent me, so I know what to do. Q: When you got this part, did you know that you wanted to continue acting? CB: When I got the role, they called me when I was on tour, so I only had two days of rehearsal for all the dancing stuff, and then I had maybe a day of rehearsal for the lines. I was already focused on acting. I was like, "I’m ready to do whatever movies y’all got for me.” But, it’s not like people say it is, when they say that artists and rappers get roles easier because of who they are. Yes, you get roles because of your status, but at the same time, you have to prove to the director and the producer that you can do it, otherwise you don’t get the role. They’re going to consider you because of what you do, but then, they have to see if you can really pull it off. So, if you can’t pull it off, they’re not going to use you. There’s still a test for even the top stars. Q: How are you preparing yourself, as an actor? CB: For the movie, I just went with raw talent. I hope it’s raw talent. I just went out there. I remembered the lines and I just took the character into my own hands and was like, "Okay, this is how we do it. I’ve got a brother, so I have to interact with [Columbus] like he’s my brother.” Now, I always see that you can better yourself by always doing something, like practicing. I’ve got an acting coach now for certain roles that I’m looking at. As far as this movie ‘This Christmas,’ it’s another role that I haven’t had acting training for. On the set, I’ll probably have an acting coach practice with me before I do the scenes, just so I can get the whole feel of my character, Baby.It’s going to be good. Q: Did you stay on set to watch some of the college scenes being filmed? CB: Yeah. I actually looked at some of them, yeah. Q: Did that inspire you? Is that something you think you might want to do? CB: Me, personally, since I already know my schedule, I know that I’m obviously not going to be able to go to a college campus and join a fraternity. But, at the same time, I can do college courses, and stuff like that. But, I think watching it inspires the youth. I’m a 12th grader, so everybody from middle school, all the way up to 12th grade, that have ambitions to go to college, they can see that. Nowadays, kids are starting to get bored in class. I think they can focus on something other than just their school. They can go to college and do their schoolwork, and do great in what they do, but at the same time, focus on something else that’s going to interest them, and that’s also positive. Q: Were you disappointed not to be able to do some of the step dancing? CB: I was, but then, at the same time, I was like, "I’m going to let them have that, and let them just do their thing.” I love the fact that there’s not a lot of #1 star actors in the movie. It’s just something that all of us -- me, Columbus, Ne-Yo, Meagan Good, Darrin Henson, everybody -- can just call our own. Everybody played an important role in this movie. Everybody has a meaning. I didn’t want to be like, "Nah, I don’t want that part of Duron. I actually just want to be a stepper.” [My fans] already know I can dance, and I showed them that, in the beginning, so I didn’t want to just be like, "Okay, I’m going to step,” because they’re just going to be waiting for me to dance. Q: You said that you’re a 12th grader. Are you actually going to regular school? CB: I wish I could, but I actually have online courses. I was actually upstairs doing school before I came down here. [Laughs] So, I do school and maintain my grades, and try to do everything. Being a role model, [I want to show] kids that it’s cool to get an education. Q: How do you focus with all this stuff going on? CB: I don’t even know. [Laughs] The #1 thing that takes me away from my focus is girls, I’m going to be honest. If I see a room full of girls, I’m not going to be focused on the next thing that they need me to do. I’m going to go in the room and be like, "Hey, how y’all doing,” and just chill with them. But, it’s different for me because, being young, I know in the back of my mind what’s right, and I know what’s wrong. Sometimes, you get lead in the wrong direction, but at the same time, you still know when to come back and be like, "Okay, this is what I need to do.” It’s not hard to be focused, especially when you love something. When I love my music, I’m in the studio writing and trying to make music, and whatever I can do to sing. When it comes to acting, I’m studying lines and trying to get the next role, in whatever movie it is. And then, when it comes to dancing, I’m just dancing at all times.You might see me dancing in the airport, or anywhere. Q: Are you still excited about the Grammys? CB: I just found out that I’m performing on the Grammys now, so that’s going to be one of the most incredible [things]. I’m just going to let y’all know right now, that’s going to be one of the hottest performances. [Laughs] Q: What song are you going to do? CB: I’m actually going to do ‘Run It!,’ but we’re taking Stomp the Yard’s idea to ‘Run It!’ We’re going to really put forth that 100% effort to go hard and really show y’all a different side of everything y’all have seen -- any of the other performances I’ve done -- whether it’s the BET Awards, Vibe or Soul Train. It’s just going to be something different this time, and something where y’all can see my growth for the next album. Q: Are you maybe going to bring some of the college steppers up for that? CB: Yeah, something like that. It’s going to be something like that. We’re going to have a quick little dance break where we break it down. Q: Who is your main inspiration, in terms of dancing? And, were you influenced, at all, by James Brown? CB: James Brown was definitely one of my influences because Michael Jackson was influenced by James Brown. Michael Jackson would be my creator. I would say he’s my creator because, without him, I wouldn’t be dancing or singing. When I was two or three years old, I was watching everything [he did]. I knew the whole routines when I was younger. So, I was like, "Okay, that’s who I want to be like.” So then, when I actually got my chance to do it, I just went for it. I still portray myself, and try to do my own style, but at the same time, I’m influenced by him. And, James Brown was another one that paved the way first.
CB: [Laughs] That’s what drives me during a show. If I do a show, whether it’s the Scream tour, or whether it’s the Up Close and Personal tour, or any radio shows, or any tour that I’m on, that’s what I love. I love attention. I go out there and I just jump on stage. If I see a gang of girls, that makes me dance more. It’s like, when you’re in the mall with your boys, and you’re trying to be flier than all the boys, so you can get a girl. Or, you’re at a basketball game and you see the cheerleaders, or the girls in the bleachers, and you’re on the team, so you’re going to try to show off a little bit on the court. So, when you’re on stage, that makes me show off a little bit more and do my dances a little bit harder, and just go at it 110%. Q: How do you stay out of trouble? CB: It’s hard. I’m gonna be honest, sometimes you get into trouble, but at the same time, you have to be smart about it. You just be yourself and have the right people around you. Just have the right team around you to make sure you’re on the right path, and you’re not straying away from what you were put here to do. Q: Do you have a parent that travels with you? CB: My mom traveled with me for the first two years. When I first came out with ‘Run It!,’ a lot of people thought I was 16 because it said it in the record, but when ‘Run It!’ actually came out, I was 15. So, by the time May 5th hit, I turned 16 and ‘Run It!’ was already #1. I was 15, so my mom was around for a minute, putting the regulations down. Now that I’m about to be 18, I’m getting more mature as it comes, and she’s just letting me be a man and, at least, make mistakes for myself, if I am going to make them, and just find out the hard way. But, I don’t think I’m going to make no mistakes. Q: How do you want the next album to go? CB: I want to beat ‘Thriller,’ I’m gonna be honest with you. I don’t think the first album was ‘Off the Wall,’ but I think it could have been like Usher’s ‘My Way.’ Not to compare all these albums together, but I think it was a good first album, especially being young, to capture everybody’s attention. Now, the next album is supposed to really hit them in the mouth. Q: When does that come out? CB: I actually wanted to schedule it for May 5th, on my birthday, for me to be 18, but now we have so many producers to work with. I’ve only worked with Eric Hudson, so far, and the Underdogs. Eric Hudson produced ‘Entourage’ for Omarion. So, I did a couple joints, and I wrote a lot of songs with him, as well as the Underdogs. I still have Will.I.Am (from the Black Eyed Peas), Kanye [West], Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, Pharrell [Williams], Scott Storch, Andre ??, Brian Cox. I have so many producers to work with. That’s why I’m saying I want it to be a ‘Thriller’ album. I want to bring all the hits in one. I don’t want to just have you on three songs, and then you turn the album off. I want you to play it from top to bottom, and just love every song. Q: Have you met and talked to Michael Jackson? Does he know how much he inspired you? CB: Yeah. I actually did the World Music Awards with him in London. I performed ‘Thriller’ for him, and I actually got a chance to meet him. When I met him, I was trying to keep my manly composure, but I was like, "Dude, I love you, man!” [Laughs] It was like that. It was an honor just to meet somebody who influenced me, in doing my music. We talked about doing a record. I talked to my manager and his manager, and we’re trying to put that together and see if we can do a record, if not for his album, for my album. That would be a dream come true for me. Q: How did working on a film with Ne-Yo influence you? CB: I knew Ne-Yo before he was signed because my manager signed him to Def Jam, and then, when she became my manager, she was about to sign me to Def Jam. He’s down-to-earth. Him being on the movie, a lot of people didn’t know he could dance. I already knew he could dance. I kept telling him, "Ne-Yo, you need to dance when you’re in TV. Show ‘em you can dance.” He was like, "Man, I’m going to let you do that. I just sing. I might dance a little bit, but I ain’t going to dance a lot.” When they see the movie, they’re going to realize he can dance, and he got flips in him. He can do anything. And, he’s a great actor. He did an incredible job on this movie. People are going to see that they didn’t just put two singers in a movie because they were popular at the time. We’ve really got our acting on in this movie. Q: You say that you’re looking for more acting roles. Do you want scripts where you can dance and sing, or are you looking for movies where you can just act? CB: The Chris Brown in music is somebody I want to keep away from the Christopher Brown in acting. With acting, I want to take challenging roles, like the Samuel L. Jackson movie ‘Home of the Brave,’ Denzel Washington’s ‘The Great Debaters,’ as well as other movies. I just want to do parts that people wouldn’t normally see me in. When I’m on ‘The O.C.,’ I’m playing a whole different part than Chris Brown. I want to do something that strays away from my music, but I can still do movies like that. [I’d like to do] action flicks. I’m good at martial arts and boxing, so I’m very physically fit to do action films. I just want to do everything. Q: Do you tell your agent certain types of films that you’re looking for? CB: I just say, "Yo, give me anything.” I wouldn’t even care about the cast. I love it if the cast is big, but at the same time, it’s good to just have new, fresh, raw talent from anybody, like Columbus. He’s an incredible actor, and he’s fresh on the scene. That’s great, for me. Q: How did you get on the soundtrack? Did they just ask you to contribute a song? CB: Well, the song ‘Poppin’ was on my album. I came to them, and they were going to pay for the video and everything ‘cause I direct most of my videos. I said, "I’ve got this crazy concept that’s going to bring steppin’, Columbus, Ne-Yo and Meagan into the video.” And then, we had a remix with Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana. We were going to incorporate that video into the movie. It was going to be incredible. It was going to be a nine-minute video. But, at the same time, it was so difficult with the budgets and stuff. And then, they switched the whole production of the soundtrack, so they ended up not doing the video, but they kept the song. I was like, "Y’all can just keep the song for the movie.” If we had done a video, it would have showcased why we picked ‘Poppin’.’ Q: This movie has a through line about manhood and who you’re going to be, as you grow up. Aside from music and dance, who would you say has been one of the most influential men in your life? CB: Harry Belafonte, probably. What he’s done in his career, as far as longevity, and helping out and giving back, that’s one inspirational person. At the same time, you always have your people that don’t get recognized, like the choreographers that help you out, as well as my father. I don’t mention my father sometimes, but my father is very heavily in my life. Every guy that’s really on their grind and is really positive about what they do [influences me]. Q: Are you surprised at all by your success? CB: Definitely. That’s why I’m happy, every day. It’s never like, "Yeah, I knew this was comin’.” I had an idea that it might, but I didn’t know what my potential was, at all, and I didn’t know if people were going to believe in me, as an artist and an actor. I definitely just look at it like, "Okay, it’s a blessing, so don’t mess it up, or God will take it away.” Q: I just want to ask about your sweatshirt? CB: I’m always on the line. I got this from Up Against the Wall. I’ve got a Wolverine one, and this is Spider-Man. I’m still young, so I like all the comic book stuff, and the loud shirts, and everything. Me and a couple other guys made up my style. It’s called Rebel Hip-Hop. It’s me, a couple of my dancers, as well as Juelz and Lil Wayne. It’s not rock and roll and not skateboard and not hip-hop, but it’s a blend of it, like the skull heads and glitter belts and nice sneakers with the nice Antik Denim jeans and nice hoodies, and stuff like that. We keep it young, but keep it in the price range where the kids can get it. Q: Do you want your own fashion line? CB: Definitely, like at Target or Wal-Mart. And, at the same time, have a higher priced line for the ballers, or whatever. But, as far as the kids, I really want to have something at Target, or somewhere. Most of the people are middle class. And, I was poor. I wasn’t even middle class. So, I know how people are when they go shopping. If they can see me rocking something, dancing and having fun, then if they can rock it, and it’s just as cheap, then that’s good for them, so they can rock what they want to rock, and be like, "Yo, Chris Brown had it on.” Q: Who do you call friends? CB: I meet so many people. I’m very friendly. I’m an outspoken person, all the time. If I meet you, I might click with you. I’ve got a lot of friends out here that I met on video sets. I’ve got a best friend, named Lil Mijo, who’s a krump dancer. His situation at home is real bad, so he came out and stayed with me, the whole two weeks I had off for Christmas break. He just came and chilled with me at my house. I’ve got a couple friends out here. I have my old friends, back at home, from high school, that I used to go to high school with. They just my homies, so I chill with them, every time I’m back home. I call them, and everything. I don’t try to call ex-girlfriends as much ‘cause that’s why they’ve got the title ex-girlfriends. I meet so many different people. Even artists, today, are some of my friends. Omarion’s one of my closest friends, even though people like to compare the dancing thing and make us go against each other. I support him. I bought his album. That’s my homie. Ne-Yo is definitely one of my friends. Columbus is one of my friends. Bow Wow and I did a record together, but we were friends prior to that. I just build a lot of friendships. That’s what I think is the key, just having a lot of friends. Q: You have a lot of confidence in your music. What was the feeling like the first day you walked onto the set to act, which was something you’d never done before? CB: I was nervous ‘cause I didn’t know if everybody was going to be 100% nice. You hear stories about people saying things like, "He yelled at me and kicked me off the set.” In my mind, I just thought they were going to be like, "Get your line right! Get out of here!” I thought they were going to really be over the edge. But, when I got there, everybody was like a family. Everybody was happy and everybody was cool, chilling. So, I was like, "Cool, I’m here.” Q: Did you do the dancing first, or did you do a scene first? CB: We split it up. One day, we would do certain acting scenes, and then, the next day, we would go and do the dancing, and then, go back to the acting. I think we knocked out all the acting scenes in the first three days. But, with the dancing stuff, it was real battles. It wasn’t like, "Okay, the script says we’re supposed to win, so we win.” The losing team that actually lost, they really wanted to beat us, so it wasn’t like, "Okay, we’re going to lose because the script says we lose.” It was like, "No, we’re going to show y’all won ‘cause the script says y’all won.” [Laughs] So, when you see the movie, you can tell by the intensity. And, when you get the DVD, there will be a lot of bonus footage of us dancing and you can see the interactions. We were really doing stuff that wasn’t choreographed, that was really a battle. We had fun and it was really intense. It was just fun. I even had fun with the extras. When they’d say, "Cut!,” I’d jump off the stage and just go chill with the extras and see what they were doing, especially the girls. [Laughs] "Stomp the Yard” opens in theaters on January 12th. I invite you to read my interviews with the other members of the cast. (Permalink) |

| Exclusive? |
Original Date: January 8, 2007 @ 09:35PM So, the album titled has changed from "Graduation" to "Exclusive". Also, the album release date has been pushed back to the fall (not really news to those of you that are music industry advocates). It's a great thing that the release date has been pushed back to fall so it gives Chris time to regain some momentum and rest for a quick moment between now and then. Also, all of the heavy hitting albums are released in the fall and generally sell more than albums released earlier in the year. The fact that his new movie, 'This Christmas' (tentatively titled) will be released on Christmas is also a factor that comes into play. The fall release date allows him to promote the movie and album at the same time! I like that. I'd consider myself "EXCLUSIVE" -- wouldn't you? Oh, and if you are new to the whole album making game -- the title might change numerous times. CBWeb will begin compiling information as to producers, writers, track titles and more very soon so you don't have to sift through the archives to keep up with the latest rumors and confirmed information.

| Chris' Newest Movie |
Original Date: January 8, 2007 @ 04:12PM Chris will have one of the lead roles (along with his "Stomp the Yard" co-star Columbus Short) in his newest movie "This Christmas" which will be released Christmas '07. He will also be contributing to the soundtrack. By Larry Carroll HOLLYWOOD — Now that 17-year-old superstar Chris Brown has conquered the music industry, he's saying "Gimme That" to the gatekeepers of Hollywood as well. First up, he makes his movie debut with Friday's in-your-face dance flick "Stomp the Yard" (see "Ne-Yo, Chris Brown Open Up About Stepping Up For 'Stomp The Yard' "). And next up is a special gift to himself: another few months of Christmas. "Is it weird doing Christmas a few weeks after Christmas? Not really," Brown grinned last weekend. "We're getting prepared for next Christmas." Brown stepped in front of the cameras Monday (January 8) for "This Christmas," a family-friendly holiday flick that will mark his first true leading-man role. Co-starring Regina King, Mekhi Phifer, Delroy Lindo and Nia Long, the December '07 release will once again have Brown playing the younger brother of his "Yard" co-star, A-list choreographer Columbus Short. "We're doing another movie together," grinned Short, joking that he and Brown are on their way to becoming the next Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. "It's great to keep us working together; we're trying to be the new, young rat pack." Like Martin and Sinatra, the duo plan to keep using their films as a showcase for the talents that brought them to Hollywood in the first place. Just as "Yard" displays Short's formidable dance skills, "Christmas" will cast Brown as an aspiring singer, allowing him to sink his teeth into a pair of classic songs. "I'm going to do the soundtrack, I'm doing 'This Christmas' and 'Try a Little Tenderness,' " Brown revealed, referring to covers of the Donny Hathaway holiday standard and the soul stirrer made famous by Otis Redding, respectively. "All those are older songs from back in the day. They're R&B soul songs, so really I'm going to do that just to show y'all an older side of Chris Brown — because I'm gonna be 18 on May 5!" Brown spent Sunday evening at Hollywood's Chalice Recording Studios, laying down his cover of the title tune his character will sing in the movie. " 'This Christmas' is a classic song," Brown told MTV News, insisting that the 1970 holiday favorite means a lot to him since it got played in his house every year growing up. "My daddy was still trying to graduate from middle school," Brown laughed. "This song just signifies Christmas. At the same time, when you feel that soul in it, it has a soul of its own era." Wearing a festive red sweatshirt and green hat, and hanging in a candle-lit recording booth, Brown crooned lyrics like "Fireside is blazing bright/ we're caroling through the night" while Columbus Short discussed the movie itself. "It's like 'The Family Stone' meets 'Waiting to Exhale,' " he explained. "I play a character named Claude in the film, and I come home from the Marines bearing a secret." Short's Claude is one of the many members of the Whitfield family, a huge clan living in Los Angeles' Ladera Heights neighborhood who haven't been together for four years. "It's a film about a family who all comes together for the holidays," Will Packer, producer of "Stomp" and "This Christmas," said of the plot. "It's Christmas in L.A., and you don't see that portrayed on film a lot. The family undergoes a lot of trials, tribulations and turmoil ... it's about how they stay together as a family, how they maintain those family bonds." The film stars Loretta Devine (one of the original "Dreamgirls" from the stage play) as the mother and Lindo as the family patriarch. King, Long and "ATL" actress Lauren London are slated to play the family's sisters, while Brown, Short and "The Wire" actor Idris Elba are taking on the roles of the brothers. "Dawn of the Dead" star Phifer will serve as executive producer, and also act in "Christmas" as Long's love interest. "My character's name is Baby," Chris Brown reported. "I'm the baby of the family. I'm still living with my Mom, and I'm gonna be 18 and I need to move out of the house." Baby's secret in the film is that he wants to be a singer — news that's sure to upset his mother, since the lure of musical stardom has already taken the family's father and and an older brother away. Struggling with inner conflict, Baby decides to reveal himself at a Christmas church service by getting up on the altar and singing "This Christmas" to his mother since it's her favorite song. In short, be sure to bring the Kleenex. "It actually intertwines with the movie and the scene," Brown said of the song, which he has performed in concert before. "It's gonna be a crazy opportunity." "This Christmas" will be hitting movie theaters and releasing its soundtrack, well, this Christmas. Source: MTV.com (Permalink) |

| STOMP THE YARD!!!! |
Original Date: January 5, 2007 @ 05:04PM Stomp the Yard had a few screenings all over for critics and other people involved with the movie to see it before it comes out next Friday, January 12th. Today, I attended the screening in NYC, and let me just say, the movie was incredible!!! The dancing, acting, and overall story line of the movie was phenomenal. I am not going to give the movie away, but I am so excited after seeing it, I have to talk about what I thought! The movie has many different components that all intertwine and show the growth of each of the characters. Plus, the dancing was crazy. There were no dance doubles in this movie, so that shows the wide variety of talent each of the cast members have. Columbus Short who played DJ, the main character was exceptional. He portrayed the character and all of his layers so well. He really touched the audience, and took us for a ride on his emotional roller coaster as he was going through different situations in the movie. Also, I have never seen anyone incorporate street style dancing and stepping so well. He was by far the perfect choice for this part. Meagan Good played the love interest April very well. I think a lot of girls will relate to her character, and watching the growth of her character is great to watch being the fact that she's the one of the only female characters in the movie. I believe I saw D Woods from Danity Kane for a brief moment in the movie for a quick cameo appearance! I was also extremely proud of Ne-Yo because I had never seen him dance the way he did in the movie. He did a great job with his role as well. His comedic timing was right on point. I really enjoyed watching him in this, I must say. There were so many other great actors in the movie that I want to talk about, but since this is chrisbrownweb.com, you know I have to talk about Chris! Seeing him on the big screen was so exciting, there is nothing like it! He was perfect at playing the level headed younger brother Duron, and you know when it came time to dance, he killed it!!!! He was all over the place, flipping, and giving us everything he had. I think we all know what happens with his character in the movie, so I will not talk about it, but I will say my eyes were wide open and glued to the screen. I cannot stress enough how great the movie was. I could go on and on about each character and the whole movie in general because there's so much I missed, but you have to check it out yourself on JANUARY 12TH!!!!!!! You will love it, I guarantee! The movie inspired me so much, now I have to go practice my dance moves! LOL (Permalink) |

Original Date: January 3, 2007 @ 09:42PM  EbonyJET.COM: Meagan Good, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown and Columbus Short set the record straight in the upcoming movie Stomp the Yard, which opens Jan. 12. This stirring film is not just a dance movie about the stepping tradition of Black fraternities and sororities – it is a coming-of-age celebration of the human spirit. “It’s a great journey and coming-of-age story, a young male trying to better himself,” said Short, who stars in a leading role as DJ, a troubled youth from Los Angeles. “Dance is the backdrop that will bring you in, but you will get another message by the end of the film.” Filmed in Atlanta on the Morris Brown campus, cast members not only brought their sensational talents to the table, they also walked away with life-long lessons. The key message for actress Good was learning how to “let go of the past and not being afraid of change and moving into the future, moving into the ‘what’s next’ stage of your life.” Read more about this must-see movie in this week’s JET.

| Not Even Chris Brown Could Save "The O.C." |
Original Date: January 3, 2007 @ 09:06PM TMZ: Like you didn't see this one coming down the 405? After killing off their most famous character, turning Summer into a hippie, and forcing Ryan to fight just about everybody who looked at him the wrong way, the folks behind "The OC" have finally thrown in the beach towel. "This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close," said Josh Schwartz, the show's creator and executive producer. According to FOX, on February 22 the struggling series will ride off into the California sunset one last time. "The OC" was an overnight sensation when it first debuted in 2003. But darker plotlines led to a departure from what the show did best -- lighthearted comedy mixed with teen angst -- culminating in the death of Mischa Barton's character last season, and now the death of the series.

| Chris Brown to work with Michael Jackson? |
Original Date: January 3, 2007 @ 07:53AM Chris Brown says he plans to work with Michael Jackson, possibly on his forthcoming album. The singer told Billboard that Michael Jackson, whose next album will come out on the Bahrain-based Two Seas Records, is his musical idol, and "one of the reasons I do my music". Brown explained: "We got a chance to meet at the World Music Awards and we're talking to his management about when we can set up a date to be working on his album. It would be an honor and a blessing for me to work with [him]." Source: digitalspy.co.uk (Permalink) |
| Ne-Yo, Chris Brown Open Up About Stepping Up For 'Stomp The Yard' |
Original Date: January 3, 2007 @ 07:51AM Young R&B sensations say acting is a priority, but music comes first; new LPs in the works. Whether they're invading your ear canals, setting girls' hearts aflutter or racking up awards nominations, it's becoming increasingly hard to drown out the buzz surrounding fast-rising kings of R&B Chris Brown and Ne-Yo. Now Hollywood is taking notice, casting the friends and touring partners in starring roles in next month's "Stomp the Yard." While giving us a sneak preview of the flick, the chart-topping chick-magnets talked about kicking down Hollywood's door, the battle between their acting and singing careers and recording tracks together for their upcoming albums. MTV: Can you give us a quick rundown of your characters? Ne-Yo: The character I play in the movie is Rich Brown, the guy who eventually becomes the friend of the main character in the movie, whose name is DJ. Rich is from Atlanta, and he's a very loud, very energetic guy — he's kind of the comic relief for the film. And that tapped into me personally, because the role is fairly silly and it's never really been difficult for me to be silly — but you'll see as the movie progresses through the fellowship he has that Rich actually starts to take some things seriously. Chris Brown: And I play DJ ... oh wait ... I play Duron [He laughs.]. DJ is the older brother, and Duron is the younger dude. I'm not the knucklehead, but I'm the sensible one out of all the knuckleheads — the one that tries to be older to my brother, trying to make him think about his choices and the obstacles that he got to go through. MTV: And is your character like you? Brown: With my personal life, I'm like Ne-Yo — I'm hyped-up, I'm goofy all the time. I would be more of a Rich Brown type of dude, but Duron is actually a part of me, because I put my style and flavor into it. I think about my different choices sometimes, and I make smart decisions and sometimes dumb decisions. But I'm a teenager. MTV: While trying to get into Hollywood, some musicians seek out movies with "musical" characters for them, and others do the total opposite. What were your thoughts? Brown: I want to stay away from the singing and the dancing roles, because [people] can see that in my other talents — the music videos and on TV. As far as acting, I really want to show people that I can act, and [it] is a part of something I want to do. MTV: Do either of you have any other offers for acting roles lined up yet? Brown: Yep. Ne-Yo: Yep. MTV: Can you elaborate? Ne-Yo: No — that's going to give it away. We don't want to count our chickens before they hatch, but yeah, they're there. There have been different scripts that have been tossed in both of our directions, but nothing set in stone yet. MTV: This is a movie about fraternity stepping — so why do we see street-style dance in the trailer? Ne-Yo: Well, the stepping in the movie is definitely a factor, but the movie isn't so much about the dancing as it is about the characters. DJ [actor/choreographer Columbus Short] is a street dancer from L.A. who winds up moving to Atlanta and enrolling in this college, then joining a fraternity. It was just to add conflict, why DJ is trying to add the street dancing to the traditional stepping, versus the rest of the cast who does the traditional stuff. It was in no way trying to disrespect the tradition of stepping, not at all. MTV: What makes this movie different from "Take the Lead" and "You Got Served" and all the other movies we've seen about dancing? Brown: Because it's a movie first. ... It's not like those other movies that's dance, dance, dance, a little bit of dialogue and more dance. It's all a movie. It's not something that's a regular cliché movie, where you end up going, "OK, we just want to fast forward to see them dance." Ne-Yo: Plus, this is the first movie to touch on the history of stepping, what it's about, the tradition of the dance and what's really going on with it. MTV: Was the choreography here any harder than the moves you do for your normal performances? Ne-Yo: Stepping itself takes a lot of hand-eye coordination that I didn't have before this movie, I'll say that much. So yeah, it was a little difficult to capture the moves. Then again, it's more than just the moves — there's a whole essence and vibe to what stepping is. You can't just get onstage and clap your hands and stomp your feet. There's a whole attitude that goes with it that we had to learn; there were a lot of actual Greeks on set that showed us what it was, and how it's supposed to look. MTV: Was it nice having each other around for both of your first real movie roles? Brown: We really didn't, actually. I was on a promotional tour and I was still doing an album, so our schedules were so hectic that we didn't really get to see each other on set. Like, I'd come in and shoot my part, and then was out. Then, he'd come in and shoot his part; we was back and forth. But we both went on tour together right after that. So we advised each other on tour. MTV: Compare and contrast your acting styles a bit. Brown: I think in both of us, it's a raw, untapped well. Neither of us has done any acting before, so I honestly think you'll be able to see that we're new to it. But I also really feel, after seeing the advanced screening, that we really pulled it off. I think people will be pleasantly surprised. MTV: Ne-Yo, what differences did you find in shooting "Save the Last Dance 2" and this film? Ne-Yo: There was a lot more to it. In "Save the Last Dance 2," I probably had the smallest part in the history of movies! I had a good five lines, and that was about it. So it definitely didn't take as long, and it wasn't as challenging. In "Save the Last Dance 2," I basically played a guy that was myself, whereas in this movie I had guidelines and direction. I actually had to learn how to act a little bit in order to play this role. MTV: If you had to make a permanent choice between acting or music, which one would you take? Ne-Yo: Music. Brown: I would have to say that acting is something, definitely, that I want to venture into. It's not my number-one passion; my passion is music. So, music will always be in the driver's seat, and acting is just another avenue of art. MTV: What's happening next for both of you guys, musically? Ne-Yo: We're both in the process of starting our new albums. I'm gonna do some stuff for Chris for his new album. Hopefully, I'm going to get him to do some stuff for me too, so be looking for those real soon in the upcoming year. I'm still writing for a bunch of people too. MTV: What can we expect from this new album that will be different from your previous ones? Ne-Yo: Well, we wouldn't be ourselves if we were to do the same album that we already did, again. You should expect to hear some growth from both of our parts — just over this past year we've both done a lot of growing up. MTV: Did either of you write any songs for the movie? Ne-Yo: I don't want to give away no secrets or surprises, but who knows? You might hear one from me and Chris on there. We'll see what happens. SOURCE: MTV News (Permalink) |

| Hell No "Mama" |
Original Date: January 1, 2007 @ 06:38PM There's been a lot of fuss around a track that is floating around the internet that is titled "Excuse Me Mama". The word is that it's a new Chris Brown track, but as anyone who thinks logically would know -- it's not. The proof is in the pudding, and the fact that the track's artist is not Chris Brown, but "Masha". Another factor that proves the song is not by Chris is the fact that track not only features a different vocalist, who sounds nothing like Chris, but the fact that Chris released "Yo! (Excuse Me Miss)". No artist in their right mind would release songs that has damn near the same title and same basis, unless they had completely lost it -- and Chris Brown still has it.

I want to take the time out to say that the love is appreciated so much and we pray that you continue to support the site as well as Chris Brown.

Everyone that has contributed, will contribute, and just flat out visits the network sites is considered a part of the network. We will be having giveways, contests, and much more this year.

Original Date: December 27, 2006 @ 11:37AM This is part of an article talking about who was on top in 2006. Chris obviously did it real big in 2006, and he's going to be doing it even bigger in 2007. "But Chris Brown can't complain. With information compiled from both the Billboard 200 Albums Chart and the Billboard 100 Chart, Brown emerges as the #1 Top Pop Artist, Top Male Pop Artist and Top New Artist for his self-titled CD. Not too bad for a guy who's still only 17." Source: BET.com Click on Read Full Story to see whole article. Posted Dec. 26, 2006 -- MARY J. BLIGE AND T.I. RULE THE CHARTS IN 2006 By Tonya Pendleton Yahoo News reports that Mary J. Blige finished 2006 as the top-selling R&B artist of the year. While Beyonce made the headlines, MJB was knocking out the chart competition, taking the top spot on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart with The Breakthrough. She is also at the top of R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart based on her explosive hit single “Be Without You.” The second-place R&B artist has had a great year as well. Jamie Foxx takes the #2 R&B/Hip-Hop Album slot with his platinum Unpredictable CD. But Chris Brown can’t complain. With information compiled from both the Billboard 200 Albums Chart and the Billboard 100 Chart, Brown emerges as the #1 Top Pop Artist, Top Male Pop Artist and Top New Artist for his self-titled CD. Not too bad for a guy who’s still only 17. Rapper T.I. takes the top spot as 2006’s Top Rap Albums artist by a virtual landslide. Chamillionaire is the only rapper who even came close. The Texas rapper is #34 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, and is the only rapper aside from T.I. and Eminem even in the Top 40. T.I. comes in third behind Blige and Foxx as the year’s #3 Top R&B/Hip-Hop Songs artist. But for some artists, 2006 was a pretty rough year. Artists who were projected to sell much more than they actually did were Janet Jackson, Pharell, Diddy, Chingy, the Roots and Lloyd Banks. But although B’Day may not turn out to be the most popular CD of her career, Beyonce’s second album finished the year at #38 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. She was also the top female seller in first-week sales this year. (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown Ran 2006 |
Original Date: December 22, 2006 @ 05:07PM A Little More than a year after his debut on the charts, Chris Brown finishes 2006 as Billboard's top pop artist. Thanks to his self-titled top 10 album on Jive/Zomba -- as well as multiple hit singles -- Brown rose to the top, beating out formidable challenges from such established acts as Nickelback, Rascal Flatts and Sean Paul. It's no surprise then that Brown is also this year's No. 1 new pop artist. Other sexy new acts strutting their stuff on the Top New Artists chart this year include R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo at No. 2, Denver pop/rock act the Fray at No. 3, guitar-strumming U.K. singer James Blunt at No. 4, "American Idol" winner Carrie Underwood at No. 5 and "Idol"-enhanced Daniel Powter at No. 6. In fact, Underwood does what no other "Idol" victor has done before -- snare the honor of having the No.1 entry on the year-end Top Billboard 200 Albums chart. The country singer's "Some Hearts" has never left The Billboard 200, selling strongly through the year thanks to multiple hit singles on country radio. The new country diva holds off a most surprising No. 2 album of the year -- the Disney Channel TV soundtrack to "High School Musical." The album is the first TV soundtrack to reach No. 1 on The Billboard 200 since "Miami Vice" in the '80s, naturally making it the year's No. 1 soundtrack. On the year-end Hot 100 recap, artist of the year Brown places three singles on the tally: "Run It!" (No. 17), "Yo! Excuse Me Miss" (No. 44) and "Gimme That" (No. 69). But who was tops on Hot 100 Songs this year? Powter and his "Idol" anthem "Bad Day." That single -- which essentially became the show's theme song in 2006 -- is in fine company in the top five of the Hot 100 Songs recap this year. It's joined by "Temperature" from Sean Paul, "Promiscuous" from Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland, "You're Beautiful" from Blunt and "Hips Don't Lie" from Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean. Furtado surpassed expectations this year, coming back from a poor-selling sophomore album with the chart-topping set "Loose." The effort was produced with hitmaker Timbaland and spawned The Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper "Promiscuous" and second hit "Maneater." Furtado closed out 2006 in the No. 25 slot on the Top Artists tally, just one notch above Mariah Carey, who dominated 2005's year-end lists. Blunt's "You're Beautiful" became an inescapable hit in 2006, helping the singer/songwriter claim the No. 1 track on the year-end Hot Adult Contemporary Songs chart. The Fray, which shares space on the year-end Top New Artists tally with Blunt, also claims the No. 1 slot on the Hot Adult Top 40 Songs recap with "Over My Head (Cable Car)," edging out Powter's "Bad Day." Speaking of Hot Adult Top 40 Songs, Nickelback places three singles on the tally -- "Photograph" (No. 7), "Savin' Me" (No. 8) and "Far Away" (No. 17). The Canadian band also claims multiple other accolades: the No. 3 title on the year-end Top Billboard 200 Albums recap with "All the Right Reasons" (Roadrunner/IDJMG), the No. 2 Pop 100 Artist of the year and the No. 1 title on Top Rock Albums, which appears online. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, who celebrated their first No. 1 on The Billboard 200 this year with "Stadium Arcadium" (Warner Bros.), are No. 3 on the Top Rock Albums tally, on billboard.com and billboard.biz. The band also notches a win as the No. 1 act on the Hot Modern Rock Artists chart with the top single, "Dani California," on the Hot Modern Rock Songs recap. The Peppers clearly have a digital-savvy fan base, since "Stadium Arcadium" also places at No. 7 on the Top Digital Albums recap. Ahead of the band are such sets as Justin Timberlake's "FutureSex/ LoveSounds" (Jive/Zomba) at No. 4, John Mayer's "Continuum" at No. 2 (Aware/Columbia/Sony Music) and the Fray's "How to Save a Life" at No. 1 (Epic/Sony Music). The Fray's "Over My Head" is the year's No. 9 Hot Digital Song as well, where it joins other familiar faces in that chart's top 10. While Powter, Blunt and Furtado fall into the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 positions, respectively, a quirky act that broke through big-time this year claims the No. 5 spot: Gnarls Barkley. The duo's "Crazy" hit pushed sales for the act's "St. Elsewhere" album, helping it snare the No. 9 spot on Top Digital Albums and the pole position on the Top Tastemakers Artists and Top Tastemakers Albums recaps. Gnarls Barkley was just one of a number of developing acts that made strong showings on the year-end charts. The Pussycat Dolls kept notching hit singles throughout the year. The pop/dance group claims three slots on the year-end Hot 100 roundup, with "Buttons" (No. 15), "Stickwitu" (No. 40) and "Beep" (No. 84). The sextet is also the third-biggest duo or group this year, trailing only Nickelback and Rascal Flatts. Other newcomers gracing the Hot 100 list include Cassie ("Me & U," No. 14), Fergie ("London Bridge," No. 22), Fort Minor Featuring Holly Brook ("Where'd You Go," No. 43), KT Tunstall ("Black Horse & the Cherry Tree," No. 57), Jibbs ("Chain Hang Low," No. 65), Danity Kane ("Show Stopper," No. 79), Blue October ("Hate Me," No. 82), Taylor Hicks ("Do I Make You Proud," No. 99) and Teddy Geiger ("For You I Will [Confidence]," No. 100). But which artist on the Hot 100 recap can claim the longest, and likely most storied, career? Madonna. Her ABBA-sampling "Hung Up" single is No. 91 on the year-end Hot 100 recap. The diva's discofied "Confessions on a Dance Floor" finishes 2006 as the No. 22 title on the year-end Billboard 200 Albums recap. Aptly, Madonna rules in clubland, where "Confessions" ends the year as the No. 1 title on the Top Electronic Albums recap. (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown Encounter |
Original Date: December 19, 2006 @ 06:36PM Thanks to this website, I always know when Chris Brown is going to be in my hometown, NYC! So now, whenever I walk down the street and hear screaming, I automatically think...CHRIS!!! Usually its wishful thinking, but today, my instincts were correct. As we all know, Chris Brown was on TRL with Bow Wow today performing Shortie Like Mine. Outside of MTV studios everyone crowds around hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite celebrity through the big window of the studio. There is also a window on the side that leads backstage that you can also see the stars. Of course Chris, being the fan lover that he is, stayed by the side window numerous times for about 15 minute intervals just dancing, waving, and talking to us down below! You know, being the silly boy we love. It was very exciting to see someone actually care that much to talk to their fans through a window for that long. He even called Bow Wow to the window to say a quick hello with him, check out all of the fans posters and the screaming girls. Also while they were performing, Chris took the time to come to the window and wave some more. So I'd like to say thank you Chris Brown, on behalf of all of the fans who saw you today, and also the ones who didn't. We know you love us, and we love you for that!!!! (Permalink) |

Original Date: December 19, 2006 @ 05:23PM I can't really tell. I've listened intently, and even cleaned up the audio, slowed it down, and everything - and still cannot tell. Chris Brown World, or Chris Brown Web? To each his own. I honestly don't know myself. If you listen it sounds like web once, but then if you listen again it sounds like world. He just had to cover his mouth when he said it. Hmm. I'm just gonna go die in a corner since no one knows for real, but for the record we at CBWEB believe he said world. I asked members of my household and they agree. :bored: I'll upload the pictures from TRL, for the videos go to YouTube.com/cbconnect. To download the TRL videos go to ChrisBrownFiles.com. I'll upload the 106 & Park videos tomorrow. This whole bit of controversy has taken over and I feel sick. See you guys around. :talktothehand: (Permalink) |

| EXCLUSIVE: Behind The Scenes Of 106 & Park |
Original Date: December 19, 2006 @ 03:53PM Hey everyone this is Kathryn coming to ya'll with EXCLUSIVE information about yesterday's taping of 106 & Park. As I sat in the audience on the stairs. I wore a white sweater and had my hair down curly. I patient waited for Chris to come out. As Bow Wow came out, he talked about taking over the countdown with his friend the wonderful Chris Brown. They finally brought him out the girls went crazy while we chanted "Chris Brown" and " Bow Wow". Chris walked out wearing orange hoodie, with charlie brown in yellow rhinestone's across the front spelling "Charlie Brown" Charlie brown's head on the right side of his hoodie with light jeans and Timberlands on with Charlie Brown's head on the top on the boot (refer to pictures). As they was talking Chris discussed about his voice. "I went into the studio to soon eager to record this album, and the doctor said I strained my voice" he said. I didn't want to ruin what else they talked about your going to have it watch that your self! What I am going to discuss is what happen off camera. Bow an Chris talked with the audience and asked questions. One girl screamed "Chris OMG CHRIS!" when Chris looked she showed him her hair. She hair rhinestone's in he hair spelling "Chris Brown" he looked at her smiled "That's hot!" he said. Another girl showed security her tattoo "Chris Brown" as on her arm he loked at her said "wow" and gave er a thumbs up as he nudged Bow wow to see they both laughed an started talking again. As they showed the video for Runaway love Chris danced and sang the words to the song. We cheered on Chris "Go Chris! Go Chris!" he did it more until the song went off. As they was getting people to go on stage I asked a guy I now that works there for me to go. So me and my 2 friends went on stage. As I walked up to Chris we had a brief conversation. "Hey! What's up?" I asked he smiled I quickly asked him "You hoodie is fly, you make you own stuff?" He smiled "Yeah I do" as he said that someone pulled him away an positioned us on the stage. I was put next to Terrence the host. I was kinda sad "damn I'm down here" I said out loud to myself. Terrence turned around and looked at me "Aw man they put you down there. Don't worry but it ma, I'll let on so you can get your shine on and some camera time I got chu!" he said an hugged me. "Thank you!" I replied he smiled and we as about to go live. They started talking. the crowd was so loud I could'nt hear what they was talking about but Terrence turned to me said some more an leaned on me. We went to Chris Brown's "Run It" and after the song the crowd sang Juelz's verse, Terrence then brought me on stage. So I had some TV time. =] We listened to some of Bow Wow album. After we did that Chris stayed for a few more minutes we all spoke as he walked past me I said something an he gave me a hug. As we got to the performance Chris was on the stage and started to sing I'm not sure what song it was or how it went but I'm sure it was off his new album. It sounded great until he stopped "go head bow wow" he said "go head rap for em'" Chris continued, "What? I'ma sing" bow wow said. Chris laughed "Oh you gonna sing? Who's wants to hear him sing?" The crowed went crazy and Chris started to beat box and Bow Wow started to sing but was quickly cut off when they started to come back from the break. With there back facing us Bow Wow lifted up his shirt to fix his pants an Chris fixed his also. As they preformed Chris jokingly said he was going to take off his shirt. As he started to lift his shirt I was able to be a glimpse of his chest. Ladies... Chris has been working out! His chest Oh yeah ladies that was a great image! They stayed for a little longer they hung out with the crowed and left. All in all it was a great show Chris was a sweetheart as always! I've met him quite a few times ad overtime I see him and talk to him he gets nicer and nicer. He is the nicest celebrity I've ever met. (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown: "Wah Gwaan Man?" |
Original Date: December 19, 2006 @ 07:44AM Chris Brown on top of his game at 17 Kevin Jackson, Observer writer Tuesday, December 19, 2006 It was in late 2005 that Chris Brown exploded on the music scene with the chart-topping single Run It. Since then, the 17-year-old popstar has dominated the music charts with successive hits, including Gimmie That, Yo! Excuse Me Miss, Say Goodbye and now his latest, Poppin'. Now after selling over two million copies of his self-titled debut album, frequent trips around the world to promote his music, several music awards shows and a large fan following globally, Brown is getting ready to drop his sophomore album Graduation early next summer. "Right now, I am on vocal rest, because I damaged my vocals. But I have completed 12 songs so far, six of which I co-wrote", Brown said in an interview on the red carpet at the just-concluded Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Added Brown: "I worked with almost everyone. From Kanye West, to Pharrell to Will I Am, Timbaland, Scott Storch and Brian Cox. The album is a little more mature from my first album, that's why it's called Graduation. I'll be 18 soon, so all the ladies can holler at me". Reflecting on his recent win at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards where he picked up three major awards - Male Artiste of the Year, Artiste of the Year and New Artiste of the Year - Brown said that winning the awards meant a lot to him. "Coming to these awards show, I have fun in general. It's hard work though, to do what I do on a daily basis. The only fact is that I am travelling all the time and I am always on the go. But I have gotten used to it. But it's really an honour to have won these awards and I never expected it", said Brown. Brown, who lists Tevin Campbell and Michael Jackson among his musical influences, said he had initially wanted to become a fashion designer. "My dream was to be a fashion designer. I've been blessed with the talent to pick up talents. When I was 11, I used to imitate Michael Jackson. At first I wanted to do music to get girls," Brown confided. Asked to describe his style of music, Brown said, "my sound is new-meets-old-school with a bit of hip hop and R&B". He also revealed that a collaboration with Michael Jackson might be possible in the near future. "My ultimate dream is to do a record with Michael Jackson. I met him recently and I told him that I am ready whenever he is ready. I think my manager and his manager have been talking about it, but it's not official yet". Chris Brown is very much single. "I don't have a girlfriend. I'm too young for that and I am always on the road. I couldn't get tied down at 17." Brown says the fancy footwork that fans have become accustomed to in his music videos simply come naturally. "It really doesn't take any preparation for what you love to do. I feel that the beat and instrument to a song is very much part of my body, so that's how I am able to dance so well," he said. Managed by his mother Tina Davis, the Virginia native says that nothing much has changed for him since he became famous. "I'm still the same Chris Brown. I still take out the trash at home. My mom keeps me humble 100 per cent. She makes me clean my room. She talks to me about business when it's time to discuss business. She is a great mom." And what plans does he have for the Christmas? "I'm going home and I'll be hanging with my family and I will be resting the whole time". Brown said he would love to perform in Jamaica. "I have heard so much about Jamaica and I can't wait to come there", he gushed. As a matter of fact, when he greeted this writer on the red carpet, Brown's first comment was 'Wah gwaan man?' in Jamaican patois. SOURCE: Jamaica Observer. (Permalink) |

| Chris Brown shines brightest of all at Jingle Ball |
Original Date: December 15, 2006 @ 08:06AM    By Matthew Shaer, Globe Correspondent LOWELL -- There are few modern performers as beguiling as Chris Brown , who arrived here last night in a cloud of artificial fog, his head bowed under an oversize hood. Earlier this year, after Michael Jackson reneged on his decision to perform "Thriller" at the World Music Awards in London, Brown was the stand-in; his loose-limbed spidery grace was a perfect match for Jackson's famous routine. But at the Tsongas Arena, the 17 -year-old played his other hand -- that of brash, combustible upstart. Brown paced the stage with his limbs jittering and jaw clenched. Sometimes he exploded: In the last minutes of a set, Brown weaved between a group of backup dancers and executed a perfect acrobatic flip. By the time he returned to the mike stand, there was little question who in a roster that included Nick Lachey , the Pussycat Dolls , and the Fray , had made the best use of his or her 20 minutes of stage time. The organizers of the Jingle Ball staggered the acts in disorienting bursts -- Brown was slotted before a lackluster Fray set, and Lachey followed a lively dexterous performance by singer KT Tunstall . To his credit, Lachey, dumped by Jessica Simpson , savaged by the tabloids, has maintained his grip on a song. His current shtick is now a cross between defiance and sadness; he spent half of his time with his fingers tightly gripping the mike and the other half belting out ballads like "What's Left of Me." This world-weariness is something that the Pussycat Dolls, who trailed Lachey on the bill, have little use for, and lucky for them. In 15 minutes onstage, the six Dolls, dressed in various combinations of Lycra and skin, hurtled through a handful of shiny, seamless pop -- even a dab of reality might have sunk the whole ship. For frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger , of course, this is the point. Her smile borders on robotic. And even when the Dolls were at their worst -- as in a version of "Beep" that featured a canned will.i.am -- she made the whole thing feel airtight. Chicago pop-punk outfit Fall Out Boy played an energetic four-song set, but couldn't equal the smooth energy of Canadian singer Nelly Furtado . (Permalink) |

Original Date: December 10, 2006 @ 02:05PM Here is an interview with one of Chris's dancers, Chozin. He is the one in the blue shirt in the Yo! Excuse Me Miss video. (Click full story to view.) Source: The CB Clique Myspace By: Jasmine Gary What do you look for in a girl? Let's see...Sweet, Lady in the sheets...you know the rest! Someone I can consider a friend as well as a girlfriend. Are you single? Yes, very much single. How long have you been dancing? Forever! My dad told me about when I was little and dancing in the parks. As far as professionally, I've been dancing 4 years professionally. Would you/ have you worked for any other artists? Yes I have. Beyonce, Destiny's Child, Mario, Ashanti and Christina Milian (As well as others). How did you get started dancing professionally? I did a stand in for Beyonce at the VMA's, and while waiting backstage I was dancing, just fooling around. And a guy told me I had something and that I should start flying out to Hollywood to do shows. So then I started flying out to Hollywood and dancing. I moved to California when I was 18 and became a full time waiter then pursued my dancing career. I got an agent and went from there. I also started doing modeling for Anchor Blue. What do you do to prepare for a show? About 1 hour before the show I sit, stretch, focus and meditate. It's all about relaxation. Do you have any other talents (Outside of dancing)? Modeling and acting. Shouts Chris Breezy!! That's my little brother! I'm also getting into A&R and Management and getting artists out. Do you have any plans AFTER CBE (Chris Brown Entertainment)? I'm apart of CBE now, and that's never going to change. I knew Chris before Run It! Before all the fame, I knew Chris when he was 6in. shorter than he is now! (Laughs) There is no 'after CBE'. How did you hook up with Chris Brown? I actually met Chris at Usher's Grammy Party one year. There was a group of us dancing, and he was standing in the background, you know he's a baby wasn't even old enough to be in there (Laughs).

I'm not much of a Bow Wow fan, more like a "hater" I suppose, but nice performance nonetheless. Chris' microphone was low, but he cuts in and out from time to time and tears it up. (Permalink) |
| Billboard Music Award Articles |
Original Date: December 6, 2006 @ 05:17PM Here are parts of two articles about the 2006 Billboard Music Awards. If you would like to see the whole article, the link is below each article snippet. They're really short but I thought the quotes were cute. Seventeen-year-old R&B star Chris Brown won the evening's highest award, artist of the year, along with male artist of the year, and new artist of the year. "It feels great," he said from the red carpet. "I certainly don't feel my age." Brown said people were treating him like he was older but then reality set in when he realized he could not do much because of his young age. His first night in Vegas was spent hanging out with his mom in his hotel room, he said. Source: ShowBuzz Chris Brown, a 17-year-old lothario who calls his music "hip-hop with a swagger," won new artist of the year, male of artist of the year and artist of the year awards. "I'm 17. That's crazy, it's mind-boggling," said Brown. "My mom, she still keeps me humble. She tells me to take out the trash, ya know, clean my room." Source: CNN (Permalink) |
| FAN ENCOUNTER: Chris Brown Loves His Fans |
Original Date: December 6, 2006 @ 07:11AM There are some artists that say they love their fans, and others that truly do. Here's proof that Chris Brown truly appreciates his fans: "hey! My name is Jane Cho. I just wanted to let you all know how great chris brown really is to his fans. I got the chance to meet him during my local radio station's (98.5 KLUC) annual toy drive in Las Vegas, Nevada. Chris came by the toy drive the morning of the billboard music awards (12/04/06) and he brought a gold and black huffy bike to donate to the drive. Earlier that day, other stars like bow wow and neyo came by, and they were all hesitant to take pictures and sign autographs. When Chris came, his body gaurd told him he had no time for pictures, but Chris insisted on taking a group photo at least. It was great, even though Chris Brown is one of the most sought after artists right now, he still give us fans all of his time and love. Knowing that Chris really does keep it real makes me love and support him so much more. =] with love, Jane Cho" Jane was even nice enough to attach some photos for our viewing pleasure!

| Billboard Music Awards Nods |
Original Date: December 3, 2006 @ 10:52PM The award show will air on FOX at 8:00 PM (ET). Let's pray and keep our fingers crossed for a sweeping victory on Chris' part. Full coverage will begin tomorrow after I return home from school. Onto the nominations. Chris Brown is nominated in three categories at the Billboard Music Awards: 1.) Artist of The Year (Opponents: Rascal Flatts & Nickleback) 2.) Male Artist of The Year (Opponents: Ne-Yo & Sean Paul) 3.) Best New Artist of The Year (Opponents: Ne-Yo & The Fray) I can safely say that Chris is going to walk away with BEST NEW ARTIST! If not, you all can kill me dead. LOL! I mean come on, who really thinks Ne-Yo and The Fray are better than Chris, and that they did better on the charts? I don't think so! The other two categories are iffy-stiffy. Let's pray on it! Chris so deserves these honors. Even if he doesn't win Artist of The Year it's an honor to be nominated. Let's pray he's no Susan Lucci. LOL! (Permalink) |
| CBWeb Will "Graduate" in 2007 |
Original Date: December 3, 2006 @ 04:19PM  Some major overhauls will be made in the year of 2007. Let's take a look at what has come to pass so far and then estimate and predict what we can expect next year.SO FAR: - Over 500 hundred days online. - An established online reputation as the unofficial "official" source for Chris Brown - 3.5 Million unique visitor outreach - Contact with such entities as ABC, Rolling Stone, Bauer Publishing, and more. - Recognition by media outlets and publications EXPECTED: - Contact with CBE - An additional 2 million visitor outreach - Continued relationships with media entities - Become the official fansite for Chris Brown - New site and network designs We've taken strides within the past 500 days, and will continue to do so until our time is assumed up (which won't be until we stop breathing). We've put over a year into the site and will continue to grow and prosper. Our mission is to ensure that Chris Brown's sophomore go-round as a developing R&B legend runs smoothly and that he has nothing but smash singles, films, and a #1 album. I want to reassure the fans of Chris, and the site as well, that we have been hard at work and have been doing the best we can to catch up with the content that we have that is outdated and is now invalid. Our goal is to refresh the entire CBC Network by the break of the new year, but we are pretty sure it won't be reachable due to the allotted time we have on the network. However, we do promise you, with all of our heart, that there will be new additions to the network and revamped information. We are currently looking for people that are interested in joining the network and aiding us in our journey to become the most comprehensive resource for all things Chris Brown. We are even inviting current clique owners, promo squad heads, and anyone that is already a part of a Chris Brown project to join the CBC Network in effort to support Chris |
