The Rihanna clone spotted with Chris Brown at the Lakers/Magic game on Sunday wants to make one thing clear — she wasn’t part of a Chris Brown PR conspiracy.

We spoke with Teyana Taylor — a singer on Pharrell’s label — who says she went to the game with Chris because they’ve been friends for a long time and he is “like a brother.” Taylor said if people think Chris used her for a PR stunt it’s “the craziest thing I’ve ever heard.”

As for looking a lot like Rihanna, Taylor said, “I’ve always dressed like that. I’ve always had style … I’ve had that Mohawk now for months.”

Taylor told us she doesn’t take sides when it comes to the alleged Chris Brown beatdown — but she supports C.B. “no matter what.”

I see that TMZ is starting to take every story they can and stretch it out for as long as possible. Man, I can’t wait for someone to just come in and take over their bullsh*t. - Dominique

If you’re a true Chris fan, you already know who Teyana is. Chris Brown has been hanging out with her for the past few weeks and the two were most recently spotted at the NBA Finals seated next to Mijo and Teyana.

Here are some reports about Teyana and Chris, and how she looks SOOO much like Rihanna (NOT!)

Troubled R&B star Chris Brown stunned basketball fans last night when he turned up with a Rihanna lookalike.

Just three days after Chris and his ex were spotted sitting far apart at a basketball game last week, he attended the NBA finals in Florida with a dead ringer for the famous singer.

At first glance, many fans could have been forgiven for thinking Rihanna, 21, had reconciled with Chris, 20, following her alleged assault by him four months ago.

Despite the similar dress sense and hairstyle, the woman in question was actually upcoming singer/rapper Teyana Taylor, 18.

Chris, his brother Quincy Brown and Teyana had prime seats in the front row courtside as the LA Lakers took on Orlando Magic in Orlando.

They cheered as the Lakers ended up beating Orlando 98-86 and clinching this year’s NBA championship title.

The relationship between Teyana and Chris is not known, but the pair could be working together as both are currently recording albums.

Teyana found fame as a spoilt teenager on MTV documentary My Super Sweet 16 and choreographed the video to Beyonce Knowles’s 2006 single Ring The Alarm when she was just 15.

Rihanna was spotted attending several LA Lakers games last week, but surprisingly opted out of the basketball team’s biggest game on Sunday.

Perhaps her ex-boyfriend’s attendance at the last match may have prompted her decision to sit out the final.

Chris and Rihanna were originally reported to have requested to ’sit together’ at Thursday’s game, but were spotted sitting in completely separate sections.

And we can’t forget TMZ’s incredibly intelligent coverage of the same story (hours later, might we add):

Rihanna’s doppleganger is hella, ella mad at the AP and Yahoo for misidentifying her as RiRi at the Lakers/Magic game last night — and now she’s putting them on blast via her Twitter page.

Teyana Taylor — who is one of Pharrell’s singer protege’s — wrote:

“omgggggg if one more reporter say that im rihanna im gonna go crazzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy … I wish the AP would do a little research. since wen am i RIhanna ... yahoo and everybody else just did a biggg f***in s**t”

Right, because it’s a huuuuge stretch to think someone with a RiRi mohawk, wearing RiRi hipster shades and sitting one person away from RiRi’s old boyfriend Chris Brown could possibly be RiRi.

The audacity!

Teyana, if you just so happen to read this, don’t pay any media outlets any mind. Keep doing you, because it’s clear you’re doing it well. You’ve been popping up all over the place and we at CBW can’t wait to see what you have in store. You’ve definitely got a fan in us!

After nude pics of R&B superstar Rihanna hit the Net with a venegence earlier this month, her “allegedly” abusive ex, crooner Chris Brown, denied any involvement in the leak. But Ri-Ri ain’t buying it — and the “Umbrella” hitmaker is threatening to release several saucy snaps of Chris in retaliation.

She even threatened to go “Left Eye” on his ass: “She was saying crazy things like, ‘I’m going to burn down his house,’” a friend of the 21-year-old tells the June 7 issue of Star of Rihanna’s reaction to finding nude images of herself plastered all over the Internet.

According to pals, once she calmed down, the singer began plotting her revenge against the man accused of beating her senseless.

“She says she’s going to release her own photos of Chris. She has less-than-flattering nude pics of him that she plans on leaking. Rihanna says he’ll be really embarrassed,” whispers one in-house informant.

The diva is also planning to plant several humiliating stories about Chris’ sexual performance — or lack thereof — in a bid to leave her 20-year-old former flame shamefaced. Rihanna is already chuckling to friends that Chris was a clumsy novice at lovemaking until “she taught him everything he knows.”

“She’s going to ruin his sexy image.”

This week, it was revealed that Rihanna will testify against Chris Brown in a preliminary hearing last month stemming from felony charges that he assaulted her during a fight in Los Angeles last February.

Oh, please..

New York, NY (CNS) - The music group Smoke Jumpers have released an anti-Chris Brown song called “My Flow So Tight”. The song, which criticizes 19-year-old Brown because of the alleged altercation between him and Rihanna, is gaining radio play across the country.

The dance floor single has a repetitive chorus, “Chris Brown Should Get His A** Kicked”. The track has been playlisted by radio stations in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, according to the Press Association.

Smoke Jumpers member CW Griz stressed that they are not “trying to take advantage of a horrible situation” but wanted the track to highlight how “not enough people were speaking out” against Brown.

“I was really upset with the way a lot of celebrities and people were handling the situation,” Griz said in a press release without revealing his real name.

“A portion of the proceeds [from the song] will benefit various organizations for battered women,” the group said on its Website. No further details were available about which charity the funds would be going to.

Little is known about the band that many news agencies are writing as the Smoke Jumpers but the band’s official Website, Twitter account and Myspace page have the name as Jump Smokers.

In related news, Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to felony charges in a domestic incident involving his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

How can Chris Brown gain respect again?
—ThulaneH, via Twitter

You mean in addition to expressing his deepest regret atop a Jet Ski in Florida?

A statement about the seriousness of his alleged crimes (to which he pleaded not guilty yesterday) would be a start. “He should not cry and blame others, hardships or pressures in his life,” PR pro Robert Collins posits.

Instead Brown should acknowledge that domestic violence is wrong without jeopardizing his chances in court—in other words, “acknowledge that assault and abuse are serious issues.” Brown has yet to express any of the above, leaving him open to speculation that he has no problem with smacking women around.

Oh, and here’s a gift a ~rumored~ statement from the most unreliable source ever, MediaTakeOut:

“To all my fans,

I appreciate all the love and I wish I could talk back directly to y’all right now. But it’s not a good time. Because a lot of fans been writing me.[sic]

Thanks to all my fans that are trying to keep my music on the radio, and I’m sorry that I’ve disappointed you. Just because I’m famous, doesn’t mean nothing. I’m human and I make mistakes – just like y’all do.

-Breezy”

DISCLAIMER: This is NOT an official statement and we are almost certain it is not from Chris Brown at all!

Entertainment Tonight’s News Editor Wes Ferguson hits the Staples Center for a sneak peek at some of this year’s hottest Grammy performers.

“Hey everybody, I can tell you firsthand that you’re going to be blown away by this year’s tasty performances! It was a real thrill to be asked to the super-secret rehearsal stage, where I got to see Rihanna, Katy Perry, Chris Brown, Estelle and Kanye West do their thing in preps for Sunday’s big show.

“Though it was pouring rain in Los Angeles, come heck or high water the show must go on. Drenched upon my entry to the Staples Center, Rihanna’s explosive set got me heated, literally. The stage lit up with pyrotechnics and fireworks for a dazzling performance medley of her new single, ‘Live Your Life,’ finishing off with ‘Disturbia,’ which is nominated for Best Dance Recording.

“I have to note that boyfriend Chris Brown was right there alongside me watching. He watched her every move, very obviously enamored by her. It was absolutely adorable. They must be in a pretty comfortable place in their relationship, as Ri wasn’t wearing a stitch of makeup. Some couples never get to that stage, at least not in Hollywood! Of course, her natural state is stunning, even with a slight case of bedhead. It really was refreshing to see such a big star go casual.

“It’s then that I realized how tightly the production comes together. With hours before the show, crew members wheeled in a stack of stairs for the small, circular stage set up in the audience. Not much later, Kanye West and Estelle walked up those newly installed steps to practice their duet “American Boy” — they will also be presenting the Best New Artist award.

“Naturally, they didn’t want to give away the set design or a number of special treats in store, so there was no photography allowed and we had to promise not to spoil any surprises. I can tell you Katy Perry is performing her megahit ‘I Kissed a Girl,’ but the rest of the performance is under wraps. There’s a super secret element that I can’t mention — for a gossip, that’s hard to do! Without giving anything away, Katy did say, ‘Whoever came up with this [TOP SECRET] idea was out of their mind.’

“She laughed, because it was her idea. Her sense of humor shined on stage as she jumped around in a tight white tank and black sweats. Hair perfect and sounding great, she playfully teased her band and dancers as they tightened up the performance.

“Seeing how it all comes together proves that a lot of hard work goes into every single performance you’ll see Sunday night. The afternoon also proved something else: every single act I saw absolutely sang live. Everybody uses backgrounds, but there’s no fakery going on here. What you’ll see is a truly live show.

“The Grammys have always been a favorite because of the diverse musical acts that put on once-in-a-lifetime shows just for the event. This year the hottest musicians are blowing up the stage with wild and crazy antics like you’ve never seen. You don’t want to miss it!”

THE PICTURE ABOVE IS NOT OF MAINO AND RIHANNA! IT IS SIMPLY SOME RANDOM CHICK THAT HAPPENS TO LOOK LIKE HER!

A few days late, but a huge thanks Rae Mizzle.

Click on her picture for more information. She’s from Ireland. Yeah, I know, the only Irish pop sensation the world has ever heard of is Bono/U2. I didn’t bother to listen to her music or anything. I guess I’ll give her a fair listen one day, just not today.

Thanks Tima1 for the heads up. Oh, and by the way, I had a dream last night that I ran into Momma Joyce and she said “yes”. I’ll elaborate soon.

Stay clicked.

IT SOUNDS like Rihanna is keeping her beau Chris Brown firmly in line. The Rehab singer has given Chris a checklist of what he can and can’t do while on tour in Europe.

And top of the list are tight restrictions on when and where he can hang out with other girls.
“She has banned female members of his entourage from being alone with him in his room and said no girls can be there past midnight,” a source close to the star tells theBuzz. We’re also told she doesn’t want to see any pictures of him dancing with girls in clubs, as she knows how far fans go to get his attention.

To top it all, Rihanna, 20, even flew half way round the world to check on her man over the festive season.

50 Cent recently (I suppose) gave a very articulatenice interview to MTV News and mentions Chris Brown and some girl. Watch it:

Do you think Chris Brown can sing?

• Duh! Why else would I be on this website?
• He's okay...
• No. I agree with GetBack and I'm a hater.

Some random Yahoo! Music blog that goes by the name of ‘GetBack’ (hmm they definitely should take their own advice). Here’s what some random Chris Brown hater named Shawn Amos (-_-):

There was a time when a certain type of entertainer was called a “song-and-dance man.” The description assumed that the entertainer actually knew how to sing and how to dance. Michael Jackson, Cab Calloway, Jackie Wilson, James Brown? All song-and-dance men. I’ll even give you Justin Timberlake. Chris Brown? Dance man. Definitely a dance man. Keep dancing, Chris.

Uhm, no.

Or maybe I’m crazy. What’s your honest opinion on Chris’ singing? Do you consider him a singing dancer, or a dancing singer?

Thank you Naudia for the heads up!
