Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown was the big winner at Sunday night's BET Awards


American R&B singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown was the big winner at Sunday night's BET Awards, taking home four awards during the live telecast from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.Brown received the first award of the night, best male R&B artist."All my fans are everything to me," he said in accepting the award. "I know it's been a long road. I just appreciate every blessing that's been put in front of me."The scandal-prone singer has had a rough couple of years. Just last week, he retreated from comments in which he used the word "gay" as an insult. He also was forced to apologize for a meltdown on the Good Morning America set earlier this year.Brown also accepted the award for best collaboration for  "Look at Me Now" featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes. He performed the song with Rhymes during the show.Also during the live telecast, there was a huge gaffe that resulted in the wrong name being called for the Coca-Cola Viewers' Choice Award. A fan who was presenting first read Brown's name, then changed to Rihanna and Drake, the latter of whom called the situation "awkward" while on stage.

But after the show ended, BET then tweeted that Brown actually was the winner of the award for "Look at Me Now."Brown won another fan-voted award as well, the FANdemonium award. He led all nominees going into Sunday night's show with a total of six noms, followed by Lil Wayne with five.Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj was named best female hip-hop artist, while Kanye West took the trophy in the male category. West wasn't in attendance, so Justin Bieber accepted on his behalf.Wiz Khalifa was named best new artist, beating J. Cole,Willow Smith,Bruno Mars and Miguel Wiz.Meanwhile, the Young Stars Award resulted in a tie, given to brother and sister Jaden and Willow Smith, children of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. Willow Smith wore a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air T-shirt in a nod to her dad's breakout TV role.Other winners included Michael Vick and Serena Williams, named best sportsman and sportswoman of the year.

Before the ceremony began, singer-songwriter Marsha Ambrosius accepted the Centric Award from the red carpet.Also during the show, Patti LaBelle received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Cee-Lo Green dressed up as LaBelle and sang her song "Somebody Loves You"; Beyonce, Gladys Knight, Shirley Ceasar and Ambrosius also took part in the tribute."When anyone asks me who I want to be like, I always say Patti LaBelle," Beyonce told the audience.In addition, Steve Harvey was presented with the State Farm Humanitarian Award. In his acceptance speech, he said the award was a testament to God and his power, as well as his own mother.The night also featured performances from Blige and Anita Baker; Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled and Ace Hood. Alicia Keys and Bruno Mars; Jill Scott and Trey Songz; and Donnie McClurkin, Mary Mary and Deitrick Haddon.

Penn Badgley is not mightier than Pattinson


English actor, model, musician, and producer Robert Pattinson is still being considered to play the lead in a biopic of musician Jeff Buckley.Reports suggested the role had already been given to Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley, but Orian Williams, co-producer of the currently untitled film has set the record straight."Penn is not involved in the film at all. It's crazy how these stories get out.When you have a story about an individual like Jeff you get a lot of interest because his life was so impactful and so short," Williams told."We're being very careful about it as we move forward. It takes a while to perfect this type of film. You've got to do it for the right reasons," he added.He also confirmed that the movie bosses have had preliminary meetings with Pattinson, but the casting process will not begin until October.

Hangover Part (iii) The Wolfpack Really Goes Crazy


Right before Part II hit theaters, director Tod Phillips began discussing his plans for The Hangover Part III to NOT be “in the same template” as the first two entries in the series. So exactly what shenanigans might The Wolfpack be up to that don’t involve getting outrageously drunk one night, only to wake up to a crisis the next morning as they try and piece together what craziness went down?Hangover star Zach Galifiankis sat down recently for an interview with Rolling Stone, during the course of which he revealed some information about what Hangover 3 might entail.The idea of Alan being committed in the third Hangover movie doesn’t exactly require a stretch of the imagination. The reason for breaking him out of a prison-like setting is anyone’s guess right now, but it would at least give Phil and maybe even Doug something new to do this next time around.

Assuming this is the direction that Phillips and Hangover (iii) screenwriter Craig Mazin are currently headed in with the threequel, it could go either way in terms of quality. On the one hand, it would provide Cooper, Helms, and Galifianakis an opportunity to stretch their comedy skills beyond their ability to react in a  hilarious fashion to all the madness going on around them. However, the “prison escape” setup would presumably mean that the main Hangover trio won’t be able to play off one another for a good chunk of the new film, since Galifianakis would be separated from the others and that has the potential to be either a good or bad thing.

Since we’re at a very early stage of development for the third Hangover movie, it’s easy to be optimistic that the next film will mix the action up more than Hangover (ii) did. The problem is that “different” doesn’t immediately translate into “good”  especially when the premise in question sounds more than a bit like the contrived template for an episode of your average sitcom.So will the film actually go in this direction? Well, those with long memories will recall that it was Galifianakis who originally let slip that The Hangover II would be set in Thailand, way back in 2009. Director Todd Phillips then vehemently denied that rumor…until it was revealed that his denial was an outright lie. I say all that to say: it wouldn’t be all that surprising if we were witnessing history repeat itself.

Shah Rukh is set to release his 'funny' autobiography soon


Bollywood Super Star and The World Most Powerfull Person Shah Rukh Khan, has been writing his autobiography for many years now, has revealed that his book is almost near completion and he will be releasing it very soon.The book, Twenty Years In A Decade, will focus on the life of the 45-year-old actor from the year 1991 to 2001."It's a fun book and is about positivity and hope and it's funny, like I am. I've written things about my life in a fun way. Very personal things are there in it, selective memories though. There is a chapter on journalism too,"Shah Rukh Said.

He Said "I am writing this book since more than 10 years now. It is called Twenty Years In A Decade because I felt that in 10 years, I've lived a life of 20 years between 1991 to 2001. It's almost complete now and one of these days when I complete it, I will ask my writer friends to edit it and I'll release it,"Although the actor has written about various facets of his life in the book, his favourite chapter remains the one that mentions his parents, who passed away when he was quite young."

One of my favourite chapters in the book is about my mother and father. Its eight pages long. Whoever writes a book for the first time, parents' mention is always there," he said.Asked if he would ever venture into writing a film, Khan said: "That's an expert thing to do. In every film I work, my inputs are always there but full script, I don't think I know the science or the mathematics behind it. Anyone can write a story but it's difficult to write a screenplay.

Whatever Happened to Phoebe Cates ??????


This year marks the 65th anniversary of the two-piece bathing suit, commonly known as the bikini. Inventor Louis Reard called his creation a bikini in honor of America's first nuclear test in the Pacific, which took place near the Bikini Islands.Now the two-piece is everywhere, including, of course, Hollywood. Rare is the film that doesn't feature at least one bikini-clad starlet romping in the surf. Perhaps the most famous scene in which the bikini plays a starring role came in the 1982 comedy classic "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Actress Phoebe Cates wears a red two-piece while lounging at her friend's pool after school.Cates's absence from the big screen was a conscious decision; she wasn't forced out of Tinseltown or anything.  She is married to Oscar-winning actor Kevin Kline and the couple has several children. The two met while Cates was auditioning for a role in the 1983 hit film "The Big Chill."








She didn't get the role but she did go on to appear in the mega-hit "Gremlins."Today, Cates focuses her energy on her business. In 2006, the actress opened a boutique in New York called Blue Tree.the shop specializes in "often unexpected" gifts. A Yelp reviewer calls the high-end shop a "museum of cool."
