(via Singersroom ) Chris Brown needs to "invest in tailoring" according to GQ (UK). Revealing its best dressed men of 2012 issue Monday, GQ says the "Turn Up The Music" singer is the worst dressed! While GQ is a distinguished publication, they really ripped Brown to pieces this time out, telling 'Team Breezy' look away now... "For someone who seems to have so much disposable income - he boasts on one track about spending "15 grand on a phone" and charged over $500 for meet-and-greets on his last tour - Brown seems utterly adverse to investing in tailoring, combining the worst excesses of XXL sizing with a penchant for deeply unflattering costumes," reports GQ. "Sorry "Team Breezy", but you may have to look away now..." Ouch. Maybe it was those pants from the BET Awards 11' ? In related news, Chris Brown appears to be locked in for a performance at this year's Grammy Awards. According to several sources, includi

The Underdogs are no strangers to hitmaking. For the production/songwriting duo of Harvey Mason Jr. and Damon Thomas who have crafted songs for Britney Spears, Beyonc and Mary J. Blige their latest, Chris Brown 's "Turn Up the Music," could be their biggest hit yet. It isn't their first song with Breezy the duo worked on his 2007 ballad "Take You Down" and his Jordin Sparks duet "No Air" but on "Turn Up the Music," the first single from his fifth solo album, Fortune, they take things to new sonic heights. "He's so well-rounded, so versatile, he can really cover anything. He kills the uptempos, he can do the urban uptempo records, he could do the ballads, he could do the pop songs. You can really come to him with any record that you think is that hot," Mason told MTV News. "He is, for me right now and for many people, the ultimate artist. He's kinda this generation's Michael Jackson, if you will." On &

Busta Rhymes is back. The veteran MC and newly signed Cash Money rapper has unveiled an over-the-top new video for "Why Stop Now," featuring Chris Brown and directed by Hype Williams. With his return, Busta ain't playin': clip begins with a cloud of smoke rising behind an insightful Socrates quote. Reminiscent of Wu-Tang's "Triumph" video, "Why Stop Now" finds Rhymes amidst a city-wide insect infestation, with Busta animorphing into a locust himself (although he doesn't get full swarm status like Wu members). However, unlike Wu-Tang's colorful metropolis, Busta's dark city looks straight out of a Christopher Nolan flick. Breezy's at his intense best, contorting his body furiously as he triumphantly yells out "We can do anything/ Walk into anywhere and buy anything" in a dark, shadowy hallway. Rhymes also watches the throne between two gold lions as Brown presents him a crown, and later takes a trip on an Epcot-worth

Rihanna has been "letting off steam" to get over the supposed heartbreak caused by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown . The 'You Da One' singer appeared to be having a wild time during her recent holiday in Hawaii and was spotted smoking marijuana and even got a tattoo on her hands in tribute to late rapper Tupac . However, friends close to RiRi say that her recent antics are down to the fact that Breezy allegedly called off their reconciliation to stay with girlfriend Karrueche Tran. " Right now she's just letting off steam," a source told Look magazine. "Ri's been working hard and has just had her heart broken by Chris [Brown] again, so it's natural she wants to get drunk and go a bit wild. But we're all sure she'll get back to her usual happy self once she gets home and back into her routine."

Three years ago from Feb. 8 will mark the anniversary of Chris Brown's assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna. Although these artists are to be separated by court order, it may just be that they are secretly back together, at least that's how it seems. It was a shock to people back in May 2011 when both artists followed each other on Twitter especially after both individuals were very public about their violent break-up. The recent Twitter incident caused quite a stir when both artists reportedly exchanged love messages on the popular social networking site. According to an article on www.huffingtonpost.com, Brown and Rihanna send each other coded messages. Back in December, Brown tweeted, "Love U more than you know!" Not more than a minute after his tweet, Rihanna tweeted, "I'll always love you #1LOVE."

You've more than likely been hearing the rumblings of an impending reconciliation between R&B crooner Chris Brown and pop diva Rihanna . These two can't seem to stop making headlines, together---even when they were legally thrust apart by that pesky restraining order. In any case, there are hordes of people who think these two are way better off without each other. On the other hand, you'd be surprised by the number of people who hope that Rihanna will eventually say that she and Chris "Found Love" again They represented " Young Hollywood ." We don't want to admit that we actually liked the two of them together. In effect, if we'd never known of any violent squabble, we'd probably still be celebrating their disgustingly attractive togetherness. Are these two perfect? Nope.

Vanessa Soldano Rihanna and Chris Brown were spotted partying at the same venue Sunday night. UK's Daily Mail reports that the two artists were seen at Greystone Manor on Sunday night. Brown is said to have exited the nightclub through the front door, while Rihanna left through a side door. Is it possible that they didn't want to be seen together? The rumor may or may not be true because according to The Huffington Post , Brown's rep told TMZ that he has in fact moved on since his relationship with Karrueche Tran, a model, that was allegedly approached by Rihanna at the club due to a video of the model mocking Rihanna's accent. The Post also says that Tran was fired up about the resemblance of Rihanna's video model in the video for song "We Found Love" to Brown.

But they didnt leave together, nor were they spotted even acknowledging each others presence inside the venue.

Otherwise he could have been nicked for drinking in the same boozer as ex-girlfriend Rihanna the other night. The stars both ended up in Greystone Manor in West Hollywood on Sunday. Given the latest chat surrounding the pair, he's lucky he didn't end up wearing her cocktail. He was convicted of assaulting her in 2009 and she posted a series of raging tweets last week which pals say was the result of Chris having a tattoo of his new girlfriend on his arm. Rihanna is fresh from a two-week break in Hawaii, where she spent the last couple of days getting in touch with her spiritual side. A source said: "She joined the Hawaiian natives to pay respects to the goddess of volcanoes by doing a traditional dance and chanting." Don't suppose she's that relaxed now.

Remember Chris Brown ? Sure you do. He's the supremely confident Texans fan who decided to get an irreversible reminder of a jarring lapse in judgment. As we settle in for the second half of the AFC Championship game, we turn to the Houston Press and are reminded just how jarring a lapse it was. Brown remains upbeat about things for the most part. The Super Bowl Champions tattoo is not the only ink he has, it is but a chapter in the "walking autobiography" that is his body. "Some I like, some I regret. Like life." Brown claims he wasn't even thinking about the tattoo while he watched his Texans make a liar of his arm. It actually took some time, and a few friendly reminders, for it to settle in. "Honestly, I didn't even think about the tattoo. I just processed it like a normal game. In fact, the tattoo wasn't even on my mind until right after the game when my phone started blowing up, and my friends were calling me and texting me 'HA HA

Rihanna and Chris Brown have been quietly seeing each other again for almost a year, sources close to the recording stars told America's UsMagazine.com.

Although he has since been dating aspiring model Karrueche Tran, he has reportedly been sleeping with Rihanna for months, as well. UsMagazine.com quoted an unnamed source close to Brown as saying the pair "meet up very casually." "She comes to see him anytime she's in LA," the insider said. "Rihanna loves to live dangerously, and talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that," said someone in Rihanna's camp.
