Drake and Chris Brown exchange bottles

2:47 AM |

POLICE don’t usually get their mitts on photos showing the crime scene seconds BEFORE the incident kicks off.


But any nightclub that has Chris Brown and Drake under the same roof is bound to have a few fans with camera phones at the ready.

These new snaps have surfaced of Rihanna’s two exes just before the bloody bar fight, which left Brown with a gashed chin.

They show love rivals Brown and Drake yards from each other in the packed VIP section at New York’s W.i.P club.

The pics may come in handy for police investigating the bust-up early on Thursday, as the club’s CCTV footage may be useless.

According to reports, the film is so poor that it’s almost impossible to make out any faces.

Chris Brown before the Night Club Fight

Last night there were conflicting reports about whether anyone would be arrested over the incident, in which other clubbers were hit by flying bottles.

The trouble is said to have started after Drake sent Brown a note saying, “I am f***ing the love of your life”.


But rapper Drake is insisting one of Brown’s entourage had been making offensive comments to his pals.

Brown’s lawyer claimed: “I have turned over evidence that it was Drake who instigated this. The evidence makes it clear that Chris is the victim.

“I believe the police are building a case against Drake and his thugs. Clearly, Drake was the instigator and there is evidence he threw glassware.”


It has also emerged that Eva Longoria’s basketball player ex Tony Parker was with Brown and also got injured.

Parker says he’s had to postpone training for the London Olympics, where he will captain the French team, after flying glass hit him in the eye, leaving him with a scratched retina.

He’s wearing special contact lens to help it heal.

He said: “I was with my friend Chris Brown and me and my friends took some punches.

“I’ll be missing the start of the French team training because I can’t do anything for a week except keep the lens in and take drops. But I was lucky — the injury won’t prevent me from competing in the Olympics in any way.”

CHRIS Brown has been left with a bloody gash on his chin after a reported row with rapper Drake.


The pair are said to have clashed in a New York nightclub and the R&B star was treated in hospital after he was allegedly bottled by one of the rival hitmaker’s entourage.

The singer posted a gruesome snap of his injury on his Twitter page, but later removed it.

The two musicians have had a long-running feud over Drake’s dalliance with Chris’s ex Rihanna.

But when they met at WIP club last night, Chris is thought to have sent a bottle of champagne to Drake's table as a peace offering.

Unconfirmed reports say the bottle was returned with a note referring to Rihanna which read: “I'm f****** the love of your life, deal with it."


Onlookers say Chris was then hit in the face with a bottle during a subsequent fracas.

Chris, who showed the bleeding chin to his ten million followers before changing his mind, then took himself to hospital.

He later tweeted: "How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol... Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!"

Furiously venting on Twitter with a series of posts that he subsequently removed, the singer also wrote: "N****s in the bathroom b**ch a** n****s."



The 23-year-old split with Rihanna in February 2009 after he assaulted her in a violent row before the Grammy awards.

Despite their rivarly, an unreleased track featuring both Chris and Drake called Yamaha Mama surfaced online last month.

D’banj congratulates Don Jazzy

3:03 PM |
Dbanj  & Don Jazzy
Music artiste, Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo popularly known as D'banj has congratulated his one-time business partner and friend Michael Collins Ajereh also called Don Jazzy on the launch of his new record label, Mavin Records.

D'banj, who reached out to Don Jazzy through the social media platform, Twitter, said; "Congrats to my brother and the best producer in Africa Don jazzy on the launch of his new Record Label, MAVIN RECORDS. Wish u all the best."

In response, music producer and owner of Mavin Records, Don Jazzy tweeted; "Thanks bro. God bless you."

The launch of Mavin Record label came on the heels of alleged underground fight going on between the duo seemingly caused by the signing of the G.O.O.D music deal with Kanye West.

On the other hand, an image which makes caricature of the Mavin crew, allegedly created by K-Switch, D'banj's brother on his Black Berry Messenger(BBM) as his Display Picture(DP), has been passed round the social media platforms.

The image showed the poster of Mavin Record crew being re-done with photo effects and the names changed from Mavin Records to 'Revenge' and the part that read Solar Plexus changed to 'The Avengers'. There were also names replacing those of the crew members underneath the poster, such as; Captain Mushin, Eagle, Hulk, Russian Spy and Thor.

This act according to many has been viewed as childish considering that D'banj and Don Jazzy appeared to be in talking terms as depicted on their Twitter statuses.

Johnny Depp Reveals Which of His Roles Was Inspired by George Bush

2:46 PM |
Johnny Depp                 George Bush


In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the Dark Shadows star explains why he based his turn as Willy Wonka on the former POTUS

Since first teaming up for 1990's Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp  and director Tim Burton have crafted some of the most indelible and off-kilter characters in modern cinema. And none has a more interesting inspiration than crazed candy maker Willy Wonka in 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: former President George W. Bush.

"Certain ingredients you add to these characters," 48-year-old Depp -- whose eighth collaboration with Burton, Dark Shadows, hits theaters May 11 -- said during an interview that aired on Tuesday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Like Willy Wonka for example, I imagined what George Bush would be like incredibly stoned and thus was born my version of Willy Wonka." (Watch the interview below!)

Depp, who has also drawn inspiration from Rolling Stones  musician Keith Richards (he based Pirates of the Caribbean's Captain Jack Sparrow on him), says that it doesn't take him too long to figure out his way into a character.

"Generally like within the first 10 pages of a script, something clicks, something hits, and you feel like there's something that you can add to the piece that might not have done before," he told Ellen DeGeneres. "And then the images start to come. The look starts to come."

So who -- or what -- was the inspiration for his turn as the sharp-fingered title character in Edward Scissorhands?

"Scissorhands was a combination. It was the idea of like a newborn, really like a newborn seeing things for the first time, and also a dog that I'd had. This dog that I'd had where sort of this unconditional love, this sort purity in my dog, those were his basic ingredients," he explained. "There was something very safe in being that open to things and seeing things as very new."

It seems like Depp and Burton will continue to have a long and prosperous relationship together, especially with good advanced buzz for Dark Shadows. In addition to the three previously mentioned roles, Depp has also worked with Burton in Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Alice in Wonderland.

Perhaps not surprisingly, in a new interview with U.K. newspaper The Sun, Depp claims that he owes his career to Burton.

"Tim had to fight to give me the lead role in Edward Scissorhands in 1990 when I was still unknown, and he's always stood by me, even when things weren't going well later in my career," Depp says. "If it hadn't been for Tim, I would probably be a minor actor working in horror B movies."

He continues: "I owe him so much because he believed in me from the beginning. I would play any role in any film that he asked me to do purely out of gratitude."

So let's hope Burton asks Depp to play the title role in Tim Burton's George W. Bush: The Stoner President of Pennsylvania Avenue. We'd certainly pay to see that.

Tracy Morgan Hospitalized

2:41 PM |
The 30 Rock star had to cancel a pair of comedy shows in Colorado after he was taken to the hospital to be treated for flu-like symptoms

We're starting to become concerned for Tracy Morgan's health, at least when he's traveling to high altitudes. For the second time in five months, the 43-year-old 30 Rock star has been unexpectedly hospitalized.

Morgan, who caused a stir when he collapsed at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah in January, was set to perform at Denver's Comedy Works South on Saturday -- but instead was rushed to the hospital for dehydration and flu-like symptoms, TMZ reports. The comedian was treated for several hours before being released, and his two comedy shows for the night were canceled.

On Sunday morning, Morgan was photographed being pushed around Denver International Airport in a wheelchair before taking a flight back to New York City..

"He is fine," Morgan's rep told GossipCop. "He had the flu before he left [for the trip]."

A Denver editor for the Huffington Post was in attendance at the Denver show before it was canceled, and says many audience members thought Morgan's illness was a joke at first.

"The emcee came out and told us that Tracy was feeling sick and wasn't going to come on," editor Matt Ferner says. "The crowd thought it was a joke at first. But it quickly sank in how serious this was when the manager of Comedy Works South came out to tell us that Tracy was hoping to feel well enough to perform for the 10 p.m. show, but that there was no way they were going to let him because he was in such bad shape."

Full refunds are being given out to those who purchased tickets.

This isn't the first this sort of thing has happened to Morgan. While at an awards party at January's Sundance Film Festival, the actor gave off the appearance of being inebriated, running around yelling and then finally falling to the floor. He was rushed to the hospital soon after, and was said to have been sick from a combination of altitude and exhaustion. No drugs or alcohol were found in his system.

Morgan also was hospitalized in late 2010 when he underwent a kidney transplant. The Saturday Night Live alum suffers from diabetes.
