While Chris Brown’s dancer, B Shaw, claims that Jay-Z was the reason Chris was unable to perform last night, our partner GossipOnThis.com claims to have exclusive insider information that paints a very different picture:

“Chris Brown was supposed to open the show but BET executives were not agreeing to let Chris go on stage after they had already established that he was performing,” a source revealed to Gossip On This. “A lot of reports were saying that he was using this as a way to rebuild his image. So at the last minute, he was pulled. … After 3 days of rehearsal, they pulled Chris Brown from the show…”

SOURCE: GossipOnThis

Either way, BET was foolish for not allowing Chris Brown to perform. According to multiple reports, the Jackson family wanted Chris Brown to perform a tribute to Michael. After all, no one would have done it better. The 2009 BET Awards were truly a mess. Hopefully the 2010 brings something way better.

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson - the greatest there ever was, and ever will be.

Chris Brown’s dancer posted a follow-up to the story we broke yesterday saying:

“So Jay-Z tells BET that if chris performs that he will not perform. Ummmm…….. Wait for it……..WHO CARES!!!!!“

In a slightly disappointing turn for us Chris Brown fans last night, he scored 2 nominations for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards. Not to say I am not happy for him, because believe me - it’s still an honor, it’s just expected a different turn out. It is clear to anyone who has a brain that Chris Brown has been everywhere for the past two years and he is not slowing down any time soon. I agree with some fans that have left comments on the site that “With You” should have been nominated as well as his album “Exclusive”. I don’t know. The Grammy Awards are just not what they used to be. Hopefully the broadcast is amazing and something fresh. It’s been pretty stiff lately.

Anyway, the nominations:

Best Male R&B Vocal Performance:
Eric Benét - “You’re The Only One”
*Chris Brown - “Take You Down”
Ne-Yo - “Miss Independent”
Trey Songz - “Can’t Help But Wait”
Usher - “Here I Stand”

Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals:
Alicia Keys and John Mayer - “Lessons Learned”
Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland - “Four Minutes”
Robert Plant and Allison Krauss - “Rich Woman”
Rihanna and Maroon 5 - “If I Never See Your Face Again”
*Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown - “No Air”

Make sure to put your two cents in.

So the Recording Academy is trying something different when it announces its nominees for its upcoming Grammys. Instead of its traditional morning roll call of nominee names at a staid press conference, top nominees will be revealed during a prime-time concert special to air live Wednesday on CBS.

Among the performers are Mariah Carey, John Mayer and Taylor Swift — a potential nominee.

Read the full story here. 

Make sure you tune in tonight at 9PM EST. We know Chris will get some nominations this year.
It’s time to win his first Grammy!

Chris Brown won all three AMAs that he was nominated for including Artist of The Year! (Take that, haters!) He also won Favorite Male Artist (Soul / R&B Music) and Favorite Male Artist (Pop or Rock Music).

Congratulations Chris! To think, just three years ago we were all listening to “Run It!” and now we’re well on our way to crowning Chris Brown the king of Pop music. Yeah, I said it. Chris Brown will soon be the king of Pop music, sorry Michael.

Well, it seems like the voting never stops for us as Chris Brown fans, doesn’t it? I know I find myself logging on to some site and voting for him (or myself) at least once a day. LOL!

Chris is in the running for Fuse’s Best Video of 2008. It’s an all out war that has some heavy hitting videos like Britney Spears’ “WOMANIZER”, Rihanna’s “DISTRUBIA”, and Lil’ Wayne’s “LOLLIPOP” which is the current opponent of Chris Brown’s “WITH YOU”.

I’m assuming you know what to do, since we do it well and do it often. Click here to make Chris Brown’s “WITH YOU” music video the best music video of 2008.
(Sorry, Britney — you can’t win all the time. <3 you!)

Back to the matter that really matters… The nice PR people from the People’s Choice Awards sent me a reminder to remind you guys to use the widgets to vote for Chris at the 2009 People’s Choice Awards.

If you failed to read the post earlier this week, then you may not know that Chris is one of the leaders of the pack and has scored four nominations. Two for “No Air” with Jordin Sparks, another for “With You”, and the fourth one for just being the freakin’ Best Male Artist — ever! Okay… not ever - YET!
