Posted: 10 Feb 2009 01:57 PM CST

Looks like the Got Milk? people are not doing a body good where Chris Brown is concerned. Apparently they’ve yanked his Got Milk? ads off their website after the Chrihannagate fallout. Rihanna’s still remain on the site. Here’s what the Milk Mustache campaign had to say::

The Milk Mustache campaign is taking the allegations against Chris Brown very seriously. We are very proud and protective of the image of the Milk Mustache campaign and the responsible message it sends to teens. Mr. Brown’s ad was launched last fall and is scheduled to end this week.

I have a feeling this ish is only the beginning. Wooo chile….

In case you missed it:

In other news, Wesley Snipes is being tapped by director Spike Lee to play James Brown in an upcoming biopic about his life. he says Wesley his definitely his pick, but he’ll be using James’ real voice in the movie for the songs. Interesting…

Rihanna Cancels Malaysia Performance & Birthday Party+Kanye & Terrence Howard Speak Out

Posted: 10 Feb 2009 12:42 PM CST

Rihanna has canceled her upcoming performance in Malaysia due to “recent circumstances” her reps say. Just a couple months ago, Rihanna and her people were negotiating with the Malaysian government about her costumes. Women in the country are not allowed to show much skin, especially not in as sexy of outfits as Rih likes to rock on stage. It looked like they had finally come to a compromise, and now Rihanna won’t be attending at all.

Rihanna’s music label has also canceled a swanky 21st birthday party they were planning to throw for her on Feb. 20th in the NYC. The fallout continues…

Kanye West has spoken out about the situation calling it “devastating”, according to E!. He says:

“That’s my baby sis. I’d do anything to help.”

Terrence Howard was caught on the streets of L.A. last night and he had this to say when asked about the situation:

“Chris is a great guy. He’ll be all right. And Rihanna knows he loves her.”


He went on to say everybody just needs to stay out of their way.

ChrihannaGate UPDATE: Rihanna’s Grandmother & T.I. Speak Out!

Posted: 10 Feb 2009 08:40 AM CST

Rihanna’s Grandmother has told the Barbados newspaper (Rihanna’s hometown) that her granddaughter is well and does not have a broken nose like previously reported:

“I don’t want people to worry. Rihanna is fine and she is doing well.”


Rihanna sent a message to her family back home via her close friend letting them know she is ok.   As for the exact charges against Chris Brown in reference to Rihanna, Police Sergeant Bridget Pickett says:

“The exact charge was criminal threats and it is going to be investigated as a criminal threats investigation.  There may be domestic violence charges added later, but that will be up to the district attorney’s office.”


Interesting.

What T.I. had to say about the situation when you read the rest…

Meanwhile, T.I. told Carson Daly last night that he’s spoken to Chris since the incident and Chris is “a little concerned”:

"Yeah, I spoke to him today. He cool, you know. I guess he a little concerned about the situation, but he's still the same Chris. Hey man, you people gotta remember, we celebrities and we entertainers but we still human. All of us…Don't expect us not to make mistakes 'cause we will."


STORY STILL DEVELOPING…
