Yesterday, we wrote about Chris Brown's appearance on
Larry King Live, where he tried to ameliorate his image. As
Jane pointed out, Chris didn't really say very much. On the other hand, in the new
People magazine, Brown has opened up and put his foot directly in his mouth.
Chris Brown is ticked off with Oprah Winfrey and thinks she owes him an apology. Or so it seems.
Brown was offended that Oprah did a show last March about domestic violence, based on Brown's public assault on his lover, the singer Rihanna. The incident took place in a car after they had both been to the Grammys. Brown was found guilty, ordered to stay away from Rihanna, sentenced to five years of probation, one year of domestic violence counseling, and six months of community service.

R&B singer
Chris Brown stopped by Larry King's studio last night, and said ... well, nothing, really. Anyone tuning in to hear some juicy revelations about his actions concerning singer Rihanna didn't get much.
During the hour-long interview, Brown said several times that he didn't want to talk about his felony-assault conviction that resulted in five years probation and six months of community labor. The conversation went something like this:
Larry: "Do you love her?"
Chris: "Definitely."
Larry: "
In love with her?"
Chris: "Definitely."
That's about as deep as it got, with Brown repeatedly telling Larry that he wasn't going to talk about the case "out of respect for her and myself." Ok, so why were you there then?

We scoured the earth (and the archives at various record companies for failed projects that showed vocal promise) to create the greatest assemblage of singing talent
American Idol has ever seen! So what happened? After last year's virtual snooze-fest, how did a season that truly did give us perhaps the greatest depth of talent we've ever seen (an argument could be made for Season Five) give us such lackluster shows?
After Sanjaya-gate last year, the biggest controversy to come out this year was that finalist David Hernandez used to be a stripper and David Archuleta's dad might be a Mr. Meany-Pants. And we got to be pissed that Kristy Lee Cook outlasted the likes of Michael Johns. Not until we got to the finale of Davids did things get really intense.

American Idol. We have three episodes; the performance and results shows sandwiched around the two-and-a-half hour
"Idol Gives Back" star-studded spectacular that aired last night. Finally we have the results show -- but will they pull the same thing as last year and nobody goes home? Join us, won't you, for another spectacular non-star-studded live chat during tonight's episode, starting just before 8:00pm ET.
You can join the chat by following this link. Look for the full episode review right here later tonight.Continue reading American Idol: The Top 7 Revealed

During the MTV Video Music Awards, Chris Brown (whose song "Run It" has been playing on loop in my head, fighting strong against my attempts to drown it out with Radiohead) revealed that he has
landed a role in the upcoming season of
The O.C. He said that he will be playing a "band geek" in his seven episode stint, but I think it's just a weak cover-up by FOX. Something tells me that he's actually playing the mortal vessel that ends up carrying Marissa's ghost, occasionally speaking in her voice and pitching Neutrogena products. It'd be brilliant because no one would see it coming. Except me.
