Chris Pleads for Help!
If your a true fan of Chris Brown support the Kid. He has been punished enough and his works speaks for itself! He has been through just as much as he's caused and I'm pretty sure some people will never forget! Honestly his latest CD is actually good, we can forgive & forget, its all about being Human!
Calling it Quits :\
R&B star Monica and fiance of two years, Rocko, have parted ways, the singer confirmed on Twitter a few moments ago. Unexpectedly, no specific reason was given for the seemingly sudden break-up, however Monica did re-affirm the rapper’s status as a ‘great father’. Check out her twitter page @MonicaMyLife :
Glow in the Dark Rock Band!
"Blind" from Game Rebellion in which a bunch of tough dudes coat themselves in magic glowing paint and proceed to rock super hard. Watch the clip and get behind the scenes info from the band after the break.
Glowing in the dark: it doesn't just look cool, it means something! Game Rebellion's Netic explains:
'Blind' is a record that doesn't have subtle undertones, it is in your face, aggressive & overtly political. It speaks to the idea that there are forces playing social, political & spiritual chess with real people's lives. The video provides a great visual to this idea. The day glow paint on the band & the crowd is the only source of light in total darkness. It symbolizes Truth. We the people hold the power. We are the light in the all of the Darkness." - Netic (Game Rebellion)

The New Karate Kid
In Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
Captain EO makes his return
Fans decked out in futuristic garb formed a line early to see the return of the Michael Jackson film "Captain EO" to Disneyland after a 13-year hiatus. At 10 a.m., the 17-minute, science fiction-themed musical returns to the Tomorrow-land Theater for limited engagement. It replaces "Honey I Shrunk the Audience," which closed Jan. 3. "Captain EO" debuted at the height of Jackson’s fame in 1986, featuring director Francis Ford Coppola and executive producer George Lucas. It cost a reported $30 million to make and ran as an attraction at the theme park until 1997.
Fans began lobbying for the return of the 3-D film soon after Jackson’s death last year, saying it would honor the King of Pop.
The film stars Jackson as a captain leading a crew of aliens, robots and "fuzzball" on a spaceship on a mission to deliver a gift to a wicked alien witch played by Anjelica Huston.
A Disney spokeswoman said that there was no time-line for how long the show would run, but said it would stay for as long as it remained popular.

Lil
The rapper was taken away in handcuffs to begin serving his time on Riker’s Island, a prison that is just emerging from a scandal over preferential treatment of certain inmates and celebrities.
In October of 2009, several prison officials resigned from the prison after it was revealed that Brooklyn rapper Foxy
Lil Wayne was originally supposed to be sentenced to prison on February 9th but the date was postponed to March 2nd, because the rapper needed root canals, in addition to having his platinum “grillz” removed.
The March 2nd date was rescheduled to today (March 8th), after a fire broke out in Manhattan Criminal Court’s basement which sent eight people to the hospital.
Lil Wayne could be out in as little as eight months. He is expected to remain in protective custody during his time behind bars.
"Law is mind without reason.......I'll return," Lil Wayne told fans on his Twitter page this morning.

Travis Barker Gets DJ AM Tattoo
The tattoo, according to Travis' Twitter, was completed by Mister Cartoon of Los Angeles. The words 'In Memory Of...' float above rays of sun and a bed of clouds. At the bottom, a boy with tear-streaked cheeks folds his hands in prayer.
It's definitely touching. Here it is:
What do you think? Looks like the left thigh, right? How did Travis still have that much non tattooed real estate left?

ABDC5 Week 3
No elimination this week on ABDC! The votes from last week weren't counted for some of the crews so, instead of one crew leaving the show this week, there will be DOUBLE elimination next week. Definitely not feeling all the confusion caused by MTV and their voting system, but good thing they fixed it.
The immunity save went to Bluprint Cru. They did have the best performance of the night and congrats go out to them for keeping themselves in the top spot for next week. Good luck on keeping it!
Kind of disappointed in a few of the crews performances. But Saltare did make a nice comeback from being on the ropes. Really enjoyed Jungle Boogie and loved Raqi!!! Anxious to see which crews survive and which two crews go home next week!
On another note... It's nice to see how they went back to having a DJ and old ideas for the show.
