Chris Brown Rejects Plea Deal
Chris Brown is looking healthy again. The singer, who’s serving a 90-day stint at anger management rehab, attended a court hearing for an assault charge stemming from an October run-in with a man in Washington, DC. According to reports, Brown was offered a plea deal from the prosecutor that would reduce the standing charge to simple assault but Brown’s lawyer Mark Gregaros declined it.
Because there may be footage of the altercation that may help Brown’s case, Gregaros is hesitant about accepting any deal.
Peep video of Chris causing chaos as he arrived to court with his girlfriend Karrueche in tow:

Tamar Braxton Gushes Over New Ring
Most women count their newborn baby as their push gift after suffering through hours of childbirth…unless that woman is Tamar Braxton who thinks she she be rewarded with a “push gift” for her troubles. Tamar visited “Ellen” yesterday where she gushed over the canary diamond ring hubby Vince gave her circa Christmas suggesting it was finally her “push” present she’d been hoping for. Tamar claims she doesn’t know exactly how many carats are in the ring, but we guesstimate it costs a lot of money!
Watch her gush over the luxurious piece:
She also performed her hit song (and our favorite) “All The Way Home,” peep it below:
Tamar posted the ring on Instagram with this caption:
“I’ll say yes!&yes!&YES Vincent Herbert a zillions years…..cause we will #STAY&FIGHT!! I’ll LOVE you forever!!..man of my dreams!!! We’re so true….”

Zoe Saldana Lands Leading Role In NBC’s “Rosemary’s Baby”
With “Being Mary Jane” scoring the highest debut drama series debut on cable for the 2013-2014, “Scandal” breaking and setting records, another brown face has been added to prime time TV. Latina Zoe Saldana has been cast in the NBC miniseries “Rosemary’s Baby”– a reboot of the suspense novel and classic horror flick from the late 60’s.
“Zoe has proven that she is one of our most gifted actresses, and we think she has the perfect combination of spirit and gravitas to take on the title role from Ira Levin’s infamous novel,” said NBC’s head of longform Quinn Taylor. “With Zoe leading the cast under the direction of Agnieszka Holland, this reimagined event miniseries is off to a great start.”
Don’t remember Rosemary’s Baby? Well, it was about a couple who move into a cursed house. The woman (originally played by Mia Farrow) becomes pregnant and believes her husband and neighbors have ulterior motives about the future of her child.
This is a bit of a stretch for Zoe, but should be interesting. Zoe is also starring as Nina Simone in the forthcoming biopic. We can’t wait to see how she fits into these roles.

Beyonce Photobombs Drunk Friends
Beyonce loves a good photobomb moment!
Bey and her bestie Kelly Rowland were out with a crew of friends at the Sing Sing Karaoke Bar in Miami when they all of a sudden had the bright idea to photobomb a group of gals and “chocolate wasted” friend who was passed out on the couch. Sing Sing owner, Kellie Pilicer told the Miami New Times:
“Beyonce follows the sounds, she just walks right in, and there are two girls sitting and one of their friends had fallen asleep on the lounge chair…I’m standing there watching this whole thing and the other people in their party started walking in and cracking up because they were singing Beyonce.
They start dancing together, but they have no idea who it is. And all of a sudden one of the girls looks at Kelly and says, “Oh, you look like Kelly Rowland” and then she looks at Beyonce and goes “Oh my god!”
Note to my friends: if Beyonce walks in to our karaoke session wake me the h*ll up!
