Culture, Music: The cake is a lie: Rihanna/Chris Brown duet not real

  • It was an old recording used for reference vocals. Apparently, word on the street was that the tumultuous relationship between the two was on the mend (which is apparently true still) and the reunion would be cemented by a new recording. Their label reps deny this and say the song in question was written for someone else and the couple hasn’t recorded together since the incident. So much for good rumors, kids. source

Culture, Music: Chris Brown & Rihanna, sitting in a studio, R-E-C-O-R-D-I-N-G!

  • Really? Really? Yeah, it’s crazy, we know, but apparently the couple is recording a new single together for Brown’s new album. E! News reports that the two of them are working with producer Polow Da Don on a new track.
  • Lest you forget This couple has quite the recent history. Between the allegations, the pictures, and the massively bad PR juggernaut that’s endangering Brown’s career, you wouldn’t expect to see these two together. But they are.
  • The song, imaginedWe could be wrong about this, but there’s no way in heck that whatever they work on could be a club banger; no, this has to be dark, emotional, and with more emotional weight than “Umbrella.” We’ll see. source

Music: Kanye’s back to what he does best: Priceless quotes

  • Can’t we give Chris a break? … O.J. Simpson, amazing. Is he not? What he did, when he did, what he did. Was he not amazing though?
  • Kanye West • During a “VH1 Storytellers” performance. West was making an attempt to, uh, try to convince people that Chris Brown wasn’t such a bad guy. He referred to Michael Phelps and Michael Jackson in the same context. West also spoke of a Thom Yorke snub at the Grammys, a snub that made him sad because dude’s a big fan of Radiohead. • source

Culture: Chris Brown: “Erased” from a trailer, in anger management

  • Sounds like someone had a PR nightmare. Brown, arrested for allegedly roughing up Rihanna, is in a film called “Bone Deep,” out in 2010. His co-star is T.I., who will likely be in jail when the flick comes out. But T.I. wasn’t taken out of the ads. Brown was. (He still remains in the film itself.) Also, Brown started anger management on Monday, which isn’t required but he hopes will improve his public image. Yeah. About that image … source

Music: Morbid curio: Rihanna police shots

  • We’re not showing them. It’s not cool that TMZ published them. There’s a reason why these photos generally aren’t supposed to get out into the public, and it’s because victims should have rights. Even if they did release the most ubiquitous hit song of 2007 and were allegedly roughed up by Chris Brown. But if you want to see it, click on the link. And feel bad about yourself. source
