- Chris Brown "Sweet Love" Music Video: First Look!
That sound you hear is Team Breezy taking a momentary hiatus from sending incredibly disturbing death threats to "haters" and collectively shrieking. The video for Chris Brown's latest single, “Sweet Love,” has just dropped. The 23-year-old R&B singer goes shirtless showing off some dance moves, while getting cozy with his on-screen love interest in bed. Swoon? Watch Chris do his musical, sensual thing in the music video below: Chris Brown - Sweet Love FUN FACT: While Chris walked and sang through the lot’s NYC streets, a production crew set up a flying structure to levitate three models. None of them were assaulted in the process. Just kidding. Sorry, Team Breezy. We admit, the song is pretty good and he's been on fire this year with one hit after another. Give credit where it's due. You know what they say, if you can't beat 'em ... you're not Chris Brown. - 10 hours ago
- Phillip Phillips Loves Girlfriend, Embraces Talent
We're sorry to say it, ladies, but: Phillip Phillips has a girlfriend. And he's head over heels for the unnamed brunette. "She is so excited for me," the 21-year old told reporters in a conference call yesterday. "She supported me throughout all of this, and I love her to death." Phillip added that his gal pal has helped him immensely through his kidney ailment - it came out this week that Phillips underwent EIGHT surgeries during season 11 and is due for one in the near future - and if female voters out there have a problem with his heart being taken, well... ... too bad! "If a girl [voted] for me because I'm cute, and then gets mad that I have a girlfriend, then she doesn't really like the music," he said. "I'm not some cute guy who is trying to be successful off that. I really want the music to come first." So, why did YOU vote Phillip Phillips for American Idol winner? - 10 hours ago
- Britney Spears' X Factor Contract Lets Her Leave Whenever She Wants, Report Claims
An interesting explanation of Britney Spears walking off The X Factor set Thursday has emerged in a new report on TMZ: She did because she can. The show wanted Spears so badly, they literally gave away the candy store ... well not literally, although she could probably buy a candy store. With a deal paying her $15 million for one season, Britney is raking it in, and that's not even all. Her contract basically gives her carte blanche. Spears has the right to do things during production that are not "normal," insiders say, and that includes taking breaks whenever she feels like it. As one source put it, "Simon is a shrewd businessman who knew Britney could make his show and he was willing to give her just about anything." Guess so. And hey, look at us talking about The X Factor in May! Yesterday, Britney walked off the set during the very first taping, leaving behind an empty judge's chair while four contestants did their thing. Sources connected with the production say Britney was "overwhelmed" and left. She sort of denied this on Twitter, but would anyone be surprised? People who were at the taping claim she was upset by the audience reacting negatively to some of her comments, then abruptly peaced out. Howard Stern's right. This could be a train wreck. But highly-rated! [Photo: WENN.com] - 11 hours ago
