At least that was the message from the musician’s probation officer in court today. Brown’s attorney was hoping his client, on the basis of that thumbs up, would be let out of his mandatory probation two years earl Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:46:31 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Police-Use-McDonald-Coax-Naked-Dude-Off-Tower-39419.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Police-Use-McDonald-Coax-Naked-Dude-Off-Tower-39419.html I don’t eat McDonald’s very often, but I’m not sure I’ve ever passed up a chance at one of its fries. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing or how busy I am. If someone brings a bag of that salty deliciousness into my house, I will stop everything and whine until I get one. I’m not proud of that personality trait, but it’s a fact. Apparently I’m not the only one with that impulse either.

The forty-six year old was driving near the Vegas strip when he was pulled over for failing to signal during a lane change. The rap mogul complied with the authorities, but a check of his license turned up some outstanding traffic-related charges. A search of his vehicle exposed less than an ounce of marijuana, Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:13:38 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Paul-McCartney-Earns-Star-Hollywood-Walk-Fame-39415.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Paul-McCartney-Earns-Star-Hollywood-Walk-Fame-39415.html The Hollywood Star was awarded to McCartney today, outside of the Capitol Records building in Hollywood, California. Unfortunately, Starr was not feeling well, and missed the ceremony, so there were no members of The Beatles to cheer McCartney on. Instead, Neil Young was on hand to introduce the “Hey Jude” writer, although McCartney’s wife Nancy Shevell and his son, James, did show up to support their loved one at the event. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:17:32 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Adele-Takes-Karl-Lagerfeld-Fat-Comments-Pretty-39413.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Adele-Takes-Karl-Lagerfeld-Fat-Comments-Pretty-39413.html Brit singer Adele may be extremely happy Vogue’s Anna Wintour introduced her to the world of fashion, but as a whole, the “Someone Like You” singer is not particularly worried about her figure or looks. After a comment from a highly-touted fashion designer, Adele spoke out in an interview with Anderson Cooper - set for this weekend’s 60 Minutes time slot- about how she feels about her looks Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:34:48 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Russell-Brand-Good-Guy-Taking-Katy-Money-39386.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Russell-Brand-Good-Guy-Taking-Katy-Money-39386.html Why have these two seemingly been able to talk out the concerns without dragging each other through the mud? It’s unlikely we’ll ever know the full answer to that, but news that broke earlier today might give some indication. Apparently, Brand has decided he doesn’t want her money. Upon first glance, it would appear the couple, both major stars, probably made roughly the same amount of money; however, while they were together, she apparently crushed harder.

At least that’s the stance many large corporations have taken the last few years concerning employees’ actions on the social media site. The latest victim of said policy is CNN political analyst Roland Martin whose off-handed comments about the David Beckham Super Bowl commercial and a man in a pink suit have landed him in the penalty box.

Hatch was later released, but he still owes the tax man a hefty penny. Turns out he is not the only one with financial problems from that Apprentice cast. Now, Gary Busey is admitting to money woes of his own.

Not all Republicans are pro-life, just as not all Democrats are in favor of taxing the richest Americans at sixty percent. We all look at the world differently, and some issues are bigger than partisan politics. Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:27:35 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Russell-Brand-Take-Katy-Perry-Money-39363.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Russell-Brand-Take-Katy-Perry-Money-39363.html When Perry and Brand were married in October of 2010, the couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement. Now, with divorce impending and without an agreement delineating which party gets what assets, law states the ex-couple’s stuff can be split evenly down the middle. Since Perry made upwards of $44 million last year, an even splitting would entail Brand a payday of at least $20 million. However, it seems Brand doesn’t want the payoff. Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:14:55 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Beyonce-Jay-Z-Trademarking-Blue-Ivy-Name-39360.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Beyonce-Jay-Z-Trademarking-Blue-Ivy-Name-39360.html To be fair, they only did this after learning that fashion designer Joseph Mbeh already attempted to trademark "Blue Ivy Carter NYC," and someone else tried to call dibs on "Blue Ivy Carter Glory IV." The trademark office wisely turned them down, citing a "very famous infant" already going by that name Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:07:41 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/LP-Release-Tuesday-February-8th-2012-39354.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/LP-Release-Tuesday-February-8th-2012-39354.html If there’s one thing about the music industry that really upsets me, it’s when bands that have been long disbanded and not made music in so many years, come back unexpectedly. Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:37:49 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Should-Chris-Brown-Have-Been-Asked-Perform-Grammys-39353.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Should-Chris-Brown-Have-Been-Asked-Perform-Grammys-39353.html Whether or not the two will mingle prior to the Grammys is anyone’s guess, but the decision to allow him to sing has attracted its share of critics. Many people are still unwilling to forgive Brown for the assault that took place, and they don’t think he should be allowed anywhere near a stage of this magnitude. Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:56:10 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Ellen-DeGeneres-Fires-Back-One-Million-Moms-39350.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Ellen-DeGeneres-Fires-Back-One-Million-Moms-39350.html Last week, One Million Moms decided Ellen DeGeneres was the perfect target for its new campaign. The conservative group has made its living protesting television networks for airing racy shows and corporations for excluding Christmas, but in what’s perhaps its most hateful goal of all-time, One Million Moms decided to try and get Ellen fired from her job as JC Penney’s spokeswoman. Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:13:40 -0700 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Proposition-8-Struck-Down-Appeal-39341.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Proposition-8-Struck-Down-Appeal-39341.html The losing side has already vowed to fight on, but it remains unclear exactly who that fight might go to next. An appeal can be made to the 9th Circuit Appeals Court, or it can be made directly to the Supreme Court. Because of the specifics of the ruling, it’s entirely possible, and perhaps likely, that if the Supreme Court does decide to hear the case, the justices may limit their decision to Proposition 8 and not gay marriage as a whole.
