Chris Brown Banned From The UK
Chris Brown has been refused a UK visa because of his assault charges to RnB singer Rihanna. Chris Brown was sentenced in August last year to five years probation and six months community service
Chris Brown was supposed to play three UK concerts, starting in Glasgow on Wednesday night (09.06.10).
Two further dates in London, Birmingham and Manchester had also been planned, along with a concert Cork, the Irish Republic which has been shelved too.
Tour promoters SJM confirmed the concerts have been postponed "due to unforeseen circumstances".
They advised concert-goers to hold onto their tickets as there would be "possible re-arranged dates".
Sony Music also confirmed that the singer's tour has been postponed "due to issues surrounding his work visa".
It sounds like no one in the UK is ever going to see Chris Brown or get their money back from the promoters. OUCH!

Wow! 50 Cent Makes A Radical Change.
That's right rub your eyes again. The pictures are shocking. But true.
US rapper 50 Cent lost four stone in weight for his new film 'Things Fall Apart'. To lose all his body mass 50 Cent spent three hours a day on a treadmill to get from 15st 4lbs to 11st 2lbs. 50 Cent was also on a nine weeks liquid diet (he must be starving). 50 Cent pushed himself to make the character look authentic. He also had some of his tattoos removed!!!
50 Cent's new movie role will see him play a high-school footballer who is diagnosed with cancer.
The film is set to be released in 2011.

Lady Gaga Collapses
Singer Lady Gaga cancelled an Indiana concert appearance last night (Jan. 14) after collapsing backstage due to exhaustion and dehydration. "An hour before the show I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing," she posted on Twitter. Paramedics diagnosed her with a regular heartbeat, she said. The performance, at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., has been rescheduled for Jan. 26.
Lady Gaga is in the midst of her national "Monster Ball" tour which began Nov. 27 in Montreal. The next scheduled date is tomorrow (Jan. 16) in Atlantic City, then two dates in Connecticut and four shows at New York's Radio City Music Hall next week are all the remains of the North American leg of the tour. A three month run of European dates begins Feb. 18 in the U.K.
"I am so devastated," she later posted on Twitter "I have performed with the flu, a cold, strep throat: I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort.
"I hope you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything, you are everything to me."
