MTV To Air "Chris Brown and Rihanna: Love In Trouble" Special

Image by Splash News
This seems a little too soon for MTV to be banking off the Chris Brown and Rihannascandal. But this Monday the network will be airing a 30-minute special taking a look at the events surrounding the violent breakup between the two. Jeez! They’re worse than E! We don’t even have all the facts yet, and they’re already dramatizing the whole thing! A statement from the network reads: “MTV News has gathered journalists and industry professionals - as well as an in-studio audience of young fans - to provide insight and commentary about what the incident means for both artists’ careers and lives, and society in general.” Talk about weird! A relationship expert will also be on hand during the special to offer young couples advice on coping with domestic violence. We guess that part of the program is a positive thing, but creating a whole program about the incident between Chris and Rihanna so soon seems wrong. What do you think? Will you tune in? The special airs Monday, February 16th at 6PM.

Chris Brown's Father Speaks Out About Arrest

We're still waiting to hear from Chris Brown about his recent arrest, but in the meanwhile his biological father, Clinton Brown is speaking about his altercation with girlfriend Rihanna saying his son is "remorseful." "He's reflecting on this situation," Brown, 44, a corrections officer, tells People magazine in an interview at his home in Virginia. "He's very remorseful. He's very concerned about the situation and he wants to make sure that [Rihanna's] okay. This is unfortunate, this stumble, this situation," Brown continues. "Hopefully, he will get past it. We all have our shortcomings. We all trip." His father insists that there are "two sides to every story" and he doesn't want people to be quick to judge. "If you are on his side, you are on his side," he says. "Just because someone trips, if you are truly a fan, you are not going to demonize him instantaneously." Regardless of the situation Chris has found himself in, his father insists, "As a father, I couldn't be more proud. He's the light of my life." At this point everyone is going to be quick to jump to conclusions and the truth is, no one knows what really went down that night. While there's never an excuse for domestic violence, we're anxiously waiting to hear both Chris and Rihanna's side of the stories.

CHRIS BROWN - BROWN DENIES MOVE-IN WITH RIHANNA

R+B singer CHRIS BROWN has denied reports he has moved in with girlfriend RIHANNA, insisting he's too young to play house with the TAKE A BOW hitmaker.
The pair sparked rumours they were engaged just last month (Aug08), after Rihanna, 20, was photographed wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger, and now gossip columnists are hinting the couple is living together.
Speculation reached fever pitch last week (ends29Aug08) when Brown revealed he was looking for a new home - but he now insists the place will be a bachelor pad.
The Kiss Kiss singer states, "I'm 19! I barely want my friends to stay over more than three days."

Chris Brown Talks Music, Fashion and Rihanna

The 5th annual Fashion Rocks event took over NYC this past weekend, where some of the biggest names in music and fashion came together to celebrate style and sound.

The show boasted performances by Chris Brown, Rihanna, One Republic, Duffy, Pussycat Dolls and Justin Timberlake, just to name a few.

Hollyscoop caught up with Chris Brown right before he was set to take the stage to perform his hit song "Forever" to find out what we can expect from his performance.

"It's going to be crazy, I can't wait," said Chris. "It's going to be incredible. There's going to be a lot of people. A lot of things going on. I'm going to be jumping around, having fun."

Brown added, "Music plays such an important role [in fashion] because it decides whose the 'it' or not. To be in fashion you have to be a trendsetter, to be in entertainment you have to be a trendsetter."

Chris' gal pal Rihanna was also set to take the stage for a special performance of "Just Stand Up" with Beyonce, Fergie, Mariah Carey, and Nicole Scherzinger.

We asked Chris if him and Rihanna are planning on tying the knot anytime soon to which he replied, "Nooooo!" Well that settles that!

The star-studded fashion and music spectacular officially kicked off New York Fashion week, with proceeds from the event going to 'Stand Up To Cancer.' The event will air Tuesday in a two-hour special on CBS but in the meanwhile, you can check out our exclusives interviews with the stars of the show below...

Rihanna And Chris Brown Go House Hunting

Rihanna and Chris Brown won't confirm their romance, but they're ready to shack up together.

Star magazine is reporting that the couple have been looking for condos in the LA area because "She and Chris want to live together."

They reportedly recently checked out units at Beverly Hills' Sierra Tower, but haven't found anything they liked yet. Do you guys think that at 20 and 18, they're too young to be living together? Or are celebs exempt from normal dating rules?

Rihanna Going Broke

During a recent visit to her now ex-business manager Patricia Williams, Rihanna was shocked to learn that almost all her money was missing.

So where did all that mullah go? According to Williams, it was never there to begin with. Williams claims that Def Jam never really paid Rihanna, so she would use earnings from her concerts (about $30k a show) to fund her lifestyle and finance her other albums.

"I showed her all the paperwork and tried to explain to her the circumstances but she wouldn't listen. She called me all sorts of horrible names and stormed off."

Williams added that Rihanna has only made "a little bit above a million" and "all of it was spent on making her as big as she is now. It's not my fault that she only has 20,000 to her name."

Hmm...that sounds a little sketchy. How can someone as big as Rihanna only have $20k to her name? We're not pointing fingers or anything, but it sounds like firing Williams was the smartest thing Rihanna has done in years.

Rihanna And Chris Brown Engaged?

Rihanna and Chris Brown will barely even admit to be friends, let alone anything else. They don't seem to mind that the cameras have caught the two "canoodling" on several occasions, and Rihanna is even tight with Chris' mom!

But now rumors are swirling that the two might be engaged after Rihanna was photographed wearing a diamond on her ring finger. Well, it's not like they're going to tell the media! So it'll probably just continue to be a guessing game! They do make a great couple though!
