Chris Brown Explains His Opinion on 'Frank Ocean Subject'

One month after sparking homophobic rumor following his heated war of words with Frank Ocean on Twitter, Chris Brown set the record straight. "My Opinion on the whole Frank Ocean subject is ......... Love who u wanna love. It's ur decision. People stop searching for BS," he wrote.

He followed it up with a series of tweets, "Everyone is so quick to point the wrong fingers at each other! Ask urself... Am I Doing everything I can to help the world ???? The world is so bent on social acceptance that we've forgotten what makes us special... Our individuality! #Imdone #readabookb****."

The feud between Breezy and Frank started when the former tweeted, "I f*** wit Frank Ocean! Reminds me of a young James Fauntleroy or Kevin Cossum." The "Novacane" hitmaker didn't appreciate the shout-out so he fired back, "i f***s wit chris brown, reminds me of a young sisqo or ike turner."

The "Turn Up the Music" singer explained his posting in anger, "It was a compliment you b**** a** n****. Everybody claim to be the devil till they meet him." The Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All member replied, "I just dont like underhanded comments. thats all im saying."

The answer made Breezy more irritated as he ranted, "F*** odd future! Make sure y'all smalltime n****s stick yo chess out when u speak to me...Ain't no battery in my back! U just getting on a** n****s! Don't let them pills go to yo head! I was tryna help yo sales n****a. You f****n clown!"

Tyler, the Creator responded to the expletive-laden insults, "@chrisbrown What's Wrong Christopher? Amber Rose Stole Your Style Bro Bro? @chrisbrown Why Are You Mad Tho? Like Really, You're Bigger Than Us Christopher. You Act Like You Like To Eat Soup, Aren't You A Role Model?"

Breezy ignored the comeback and greeted his devotees instead, "To all my fans, I'm sorry these ignorant ass n****s got me down to their level."

John Mayer Premieres New Video for 'Queen of California'

After being absence from the spotlight for a while, John Mayer is back with a new music video. A mildly country vibe is heard on this track called "Queen of California".

The video opens with the singer looking straight at camera and strumming his guitar while sitting on his bed. He then walks out the door and wanders around. He braves the rain and steps into a forest. He steps out of tree-filled splendor and winds up backstage at a fashion show and on the set of a photo shoot. He pays no attention to the models and keeps walking.

He grabs a guitar and jams with his band for a bit but this doesn't last very long. He soon walks off again, crossing through a snowy park before beginning the cycle once more in his bedroom which is now decorated with roses. He walks out again to the street and is met by a parade. His long stroll continues until he once again grabs a guitar and rocks out to his song.

A five-song EP called "The Complete Mr. J.C. Mayer 2012 Performances Collection" from the talented guitarist is expected to drop on August 7 for an exclusive iTunes release.

He is still trying to recover from a vocal injury that has forced him to take an indefinite hiatus from live performances. According to the singer's Tumblr blog, he is going in for surgery at the end of August. He adds, "but I'm excited to get back to it next year."

Nick Jonas and Pharrell Williams Allegedly Frontrunners to Be 'American Idol' Judges

Nick Jonas and Pharrell Williams could join Mariah Carey in the upcoming twelfth season of "American Idol". Words on the street are, the two artists are the frontrunners to fill the two vacant seats on the judging panel, with an assumption that Randy Jackson is moved into a mentoring role.

"Nick is pretty close to signing to be the Idol judge," a so-called insider tells Us Weekly, which previously got the scoop about Carey's possible involvement. The source adds, "They flew him in to L.A. last week for final meetings," as the show's producers allegedly "think he can help bring that younger demo to the show."

While the Jonas Brothers member is reportedly close to seal the deal, Williams is still negotiating terms of his contract. "Everything is looking good, but they're still working out details," the insider says of the contract negotiations.

Prior to Jonas and Williams, Brad Paisley, Adam Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks and Clay Aiken were also rumored to join the show. FOX has not commented on the reports.

"American Idol" season 12 will kick off in early 2013. Carey was tapped as a new judge after Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez announced their departures earlier this July.

Report: 'Ant-Man' to Start Filming After 'Thor 2' for a 2014 Release

Several new rumors surrounding Edgar Wright's "Ant-Man" film project have swirled wildly on the Internet. Coming out via Latino Review, the recent reports suggest that the long-gestating superhero project is getting closer to its start date and may be added to Marvel Studios' 2014 slate.

The site reveals further that "Ant-Man" has been planned to kick off filming in London right after the principal photography on "Thor: The Dark World" wraps. The second God of Thunder movie itself is scheduled to start shooting this August in England.

Should the rumor be true, "Ant-Man" is expected to begin the production in the late spring or early summer of 2013. That will make the long-awaited film Marvel's third major 2014 release in addition to "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (April 4) and "Guardians of the Galaxy" (August 1).

"Ant-Man" has been in development for years, but it has just been greenlit a few months ago. During this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel presented a test reel of the movie in order to see the audience's response. The studio hasn't shared any new update regarding the anticipated film since then.

The upcoming Marvel movie follows biochemist Dr. Hank Pym who uses his latest discovery, a group of subatomic particles, to create a size-altering formula. Though his first self-test goes awry, he develops an instrument that helps him communicate with and control insects.

Holmes will next appear before court on August 9. His public defenders are expected to argue that he was not in his right mind when he fired into the occupied crowd watching the superhero movie inside the Century 16 Theater at the Aurora Town Center Mall.

'Dexter' Boss Confirms the Serial Killer Considers Killing His Loved One to Solve Problem

A recently-released promo for "Dexter" season 7 includes a scene which suggests that the titular character might kill his own sister Debra. Speaking to reporters at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour on Monday, July 30, showrunner Scott Buck confirmed that it's one of the ideas that cross Dexter's mind as a solution to his problem.

"Dexter is a serial killer. The thought has to at least have crossed his mind at some point that that would be an easy solution to this problem," executive producer Scott Buck said of the possible bold move. "We don't shy away from the reality that there's no easy way to deal with this situation."

Executive producer Sara Colleton chimed in on how the shocking discovery would affect Deb, "We acknowledge that a dark and dangerous and treacherous path has opened up for Deb and we're going to see her walk that."

In the next chapter of the crime series, Dexter has to deal with his sister Deb who caught him killing Travis in the season 6 finale. According to lead actor Michael C. Hall, the finding brings a game changer in the story.

"Without a doubt, it's the most fundamentally game-changing development that we've had," the titular character depicter said. "One of the things we've always been able to count on is that Dexter's secret is his own, and it's not anymore."

"[Deb] finding out does make an endgame feel a little more palpable and imminent," he added how the story arc would be a proper way to begin the end of the show. "The plan is to do this season and a final eighth season. To really tell this story of the two of them negotiating their relationship in this new landscape requires that much time."

Agreeing with Hall, Buck who also serves as executive producer for the show added, "We knew we would always eventually tell the story, but because it so dramatically changes the nature of the story, we didn't want to consider it until we were closing in."

During the panel, Hall and Jennifer Carpenter also responded to criticism that season 6 was the worst of the show. Carpenter said, "If you had asked that question before we shot a single frame this season, it might have hurt my feelings... I'm really excited about showing you what we've done."

"Whatever your opinion about the ranking the seasons, Dexter is never more compelling than when he is in trouble," Hall added, claiming that the upcoming season would top the previous installment. "And he's never been in deeper trouble than he is now."

Opening Scene Details for 'The Wolverine' Hint at Another Villain

© The 20th Century Fox

More tidbits from "The Wolverine" have been shared as a new set photo surfaces online. The image obtained by Comic Book Movie is believed to show a model of a Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War II, which will be featured [SPOILER ALERT!] in the opening scene that is reportedly going to include an atomic bomb explosion.

The image of the prisoner of war (POW) camp, which might be shown in a flashback in the movie, hints that the upcoming film will feature mutant villain Lt. Ethan Warren in addition to Silver Samurai. In Brian K Vaughan's limited series "Wolverine: Logan", Warren and Logan are held as POW in Japan during WW II, but manage to escape together.

Still based on the comic book, they later meet a woman in the woods and clash over what they should do to her. The two later part ways, but Warren reappears and attacks Logan. During their fight, they discover that they are alike (mutants). When Warren shows up in the present day, he has become a flaming skeleton man and eats Logan's heart to restore his human appearance.

While Warren's appearance is still unconfirmed, "The Wolverine" has cast Will Yun Lee as the villainous Silver Samurai. Brian Tee will play corrupt minister of justice Noburo Mori, and Hugh Jackman reprises his role as Logan a.k.a. The Wolverine.

James Mangold serves behind the lens for the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" sequel, which is slated for a July 26, 2013 release in the United States. The story will take its cue from the early 1980s Chris Claremont/Frank Miller miniseries, which features the mutant hero dealing with ninjas as he struggles whether to follow his animal killer instincts or live under a samurai's code of honor and respect.

Chris Brown Unveils Cover Art for New Single 'Don't Judge Me'

The cover art for Chris Brown's next single has been revealed. Breezy strikes a dramatic pose in the cover for the single "Don't Judge Me" as he looks down with a very faint stream of light hitting his face. He wears a plain white dress shirt with a black tie as he stands against the blue backdrop of the image.

"I don't wanna go there/ We should never go there," he pleads in the slow, emotion-filled song. "So please don't judge me/ And I won't judge you/ Cause it could get ugly/ Before it gets beautiful," he croons in the hook.

Breezy is currently in the south of France shooting a music video for an unknown track with Ludacris and Swizz Beatz. Brown's ex-girlfriend Rihanna coincidentally was also in the south of France on vacation just a few days ago.

Tabloids were quick to start buzzing about a Breezy-RiRi rendezvous. It has been said that the two were spotted kissing while attending a yacht party. They also reportedly met up for a dinner date at a French Riviera restaurant.

A rep for Breezy has denied the rumors. "Karrueche is there with him," the rep said referring to Chris' girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. "They never broke up. He is not on [Rihanna's] yacht. There is no Rihanna connection."

"Don't Judge Me" was produced by The Messengers and is the fifth single to come off "Fortune".

Hayden Panettiere on 'Nashville': My Character Is Less Nicer Than Taylor Swift

Though her character on "Nashville" has the same profession as Taylor Swift, Hayden Panettiere insists her alter ego Juliette Barnes is not based on the real-life country music singer. Speaking to the press at ABC's panel during the Television Critics Association summer tour, the 22-year-old actress said, "I've heard the Taylor Swift thing quite a bit and I think besides being around the same age and blond - not even the height - they are different."

"And I think you guys, once you see her and get to know Juliette, my character, a little bit better, you'll see that. But I really think Taylor would disagree wholeheartedly as well," added the title character depicter in TV movie "Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy". Pointing out another difference between Juliette and Taylor, she stated, "She's [Taylor] much nicer than my character."

Hayden's character is not the only one who has been compared to a real-life artist. Her co-star Connie Britton opened up about her recent encounter with Reba McEntire, "I ran into Reba McEntire on a plane and she said, 'Did you hear you're playing me in your show?' "

The "American Horror Story" alumna went on sharing, "I said I had no idea! For me, it's an amalgam of a lot of different people, but I think it's fun to take from that sort of palette and really let this lone character emerge. I don't have any one person I'm basing the character on."

On the new musical drama that will debut on ABC Wednesday, October 10, Hayden portrays the young and sexy future of country music, Juliette, while Connie takes on the role of Rayna James, a country legend whose popularity is starting to wane lately. When Rayna is forced by her label to be opening for up-and-comer Juliette in a concert tour, a conflict rises.

Connie described their rivalry as something more than a "cat fight." She explained, "I don't think anybody's interested in that. We're much more interested in showing these two people at different places in their lives and what their journeys will be."

New 'Dexter' Season 7 Promo Burns the Evidence

Another promo for "Dexter" season 7 has been released to tide fans over the show's return this fall. Hinting that Debra's shocking discovery in the season 6 finale will be a new beginning for the characters' story arcs, the video shows the body of Travis, whom Dexter killed at the end of last season, set in flames.

The scene hints that Dexter will get rid of an evidence that may lead others to find out what he did to Travis. It's supported by one of recently-unveiled photos which features the blood spatter pattern analyst holding a lit match in the church, while Deb looks with a horrified expression.

"Dexter" season 7 will premiere Sunday, September 30 at 9:00 P.M. on Showtime. Executive producer Scott Buck has said the first episode would pick up right where the season 6 finale left off, "Viewers might think we shy away from that moment of Debra walking in and seeing Dexter stabbing into Travis' chest, but it's just the opposite. She now has to deal with what she's seen and what she knows. And it forces him to defend and define himself."

Guest stars in the upcoming installment include Yvonne Strahovski, Katia Winter, Jason Gedrick, Ray Stevenson and Santiago Cabrera.

Katherine Seeks Joint Guardianship of Michael Jackson's Kids With TJ

Katherine Jackson has a change of heart in the guardianship battle of Michael Jackson's children. Instead of trying to strip off TJ's court-approved duty to take care of the kids, the Jackson matriarch will head to court to seek joint guardianship with her 34-year-old grandson.

"That pleading will essentially now legally reflect how Mrs. Jackson and TJ have often shared responsibilities of raising the children since Michael Jackson's tragic passing," her lawyer Perry Sanders tells TMZ. "[It] reflected the wishes of [Michael Jackson's] children."

In the new arrangement, Katherine will still have the power to control the family's finance. TJ will assist her in handling day-to-day responsibilities including management of household personnel and security that reportedly have been stressing her out.

"It will also make clear for school personnel and anyone else coming into contact with the children that TJ is authorized to act on their behalf," Perry says. "Mrs. Jackson will then be freed up to focus on the more personal everyday decision making related to the lives and activities of the children."

The attorney concludes, "Mrs. Jackson is extremely pleased with the prospect of enjoying the pleasure of raising Michael's children without the day-to-day tedium of items such as managing the large staff that goes with such a high profile family and focus her attention on being a grandmother and raising Michael's children."

TJ was appointed as a temporary guardian of Paris, Prince and Blanket after Katherine was away for several days to visit her daughter Rebbie in Arizona. The 82-year-old's children Randy, Rebbie, Janet Jackson, Jermaine Jackson said she suffered a "mini-stroke," but she assured that she was fine.

Jimmy Kimmel Criticizes 'American Horror Story' Inclusion in Emmy's Miniseries Category

Jimmy Kimmel has been appointed to tackle an important role as the host at the upcoming Primetime Emmy Awards, but it doesn't mean that he agrees with all decisions made by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Attending the 2012 Summer TCA Tour on Friday, July 27, the comedian expressed his disagreement with "American Horror Story" inclusion in miniseries category.

"It's not a miniseries - let's be honest," he told the press during the panel for the 64th Annual Emmy Awards. Also on hand for the panel, Bruce Rosenblum, chairman and CEO of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, quickly defended the board's decision to let the Ryan Murphy-created show compete as miniseries.

"We have a terrific process to vet these kinds of decisions, and our board of governors believed that the show clearly belonged in the miniseries category," Rosenblum argued. "We'll see how 'American Horror Story' plays out next season, but what was presented to the committee and the board of governors was persuasive enough to have them vote that the show qualified," he added, claiming that the field is being monitored "carefully."

Responding to Rosenblum's explanation, Kimmel joked, "I'm going to try to qualify as a miniseries next year. It seems like a soft category."

"AHS" is nominated alongside the likes of "Game Change", "Hatfields & McCoys" and "Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia" in the Miniseries or Movie category. Additionally, the stars Connie Britton and Jessica Lange are vying for Lead Actress and Supporting Actress respectively in Miniseries or a Movie.

The horror series, which recently cast "The Bourne Identity" actress Franka Potente as another patient of the asylum, will return for a second season on FX with a completely different set and storyline. "It's a completely different world and has nothing to do with season 1; there's not a mention of season 1," Murphy explained back in April. "The second season is set in a completely different time period."

Back to the TCA panel, Kimmel also talked about the concept for this year's Emmy ceremony, which will take place on September 23. "I'd like it to be jazzy from beginning to end," he shared. Executive producer Don Mischer chimed in, "We want to keep the show really fast-paced and really funny."

The "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host went on revealing that he planned to appear in most part of the show instead of disappearing backstage. "I'd like to be part of the show throughout," he said. "It would be nice to be able to comment on things as they're happening. Hopefully I'll be able to insert myself in the entirety of the broadcast."

Madonna's Rep Issues Statement Regarding France Booing Incident

After performing for just 45 minutes at Paris' l'Olympia, Madonna was booed and insulted by her French fans. Liz Rosenberg, a representative for the pop diva, has issued a statement regarding the incident.

"Madonna's Paris club show was planned as her heartfelt thank you to France which she expressed at the start of her show. Despite a grueling concert tour, she desperately wanted to perform for her fans in an intimate setting at the historic Olympia as a means to honor her love for French artists, French cinema and a tribute to France's long history of welcoming and inspiring artists, authors, painters, poets and minorities from other countries over the years," the rep says in the statement.

"The show was not billed as her full MDNA concert and tremendous effort was made to keep the ticket prices reasonable ($100 for 2000 floor seats) and keep them strictly for her fans," she explains before adding, "The show cost Madonna close to a million dollars to produce. She has done a handful of club dates in the past and they were never more than 45 minutes."

The Paris show held on Thursday, July 26 was a last-minute addition to the MDNA schedule. After ending the show with a performance of Serge Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime", the singer left the stage and did not return for an encore. This prompted loud boos from the crowd mixed with insults such as "sl*t." The concertgoers also demanded for refunds.

Olympic Games 2012 Opening Ceremony: James Bond, Lord Voldemort and Mr. Bean

The 2012 London Olympic Games was officially kicked off in an extravagant ceremony dubbed "The Isles of Wonder" on July 27. A number of spectacular scenes highlighting the country's most-famous fictional figures were shown during the star-studded event orchestrated by Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle.

Daniel Craig appeared in a short movie as the famed James Bond. He escorted Queen Elizabeth II in a Union Jack chopper from Buckingham Palace to the Hyde Park where the ceremony took place. In a royal arrival unlike any others, a stunt-person dressing as the Queen jumped off the helicopter in a parachute.

In another scene, a huge Lord Voldemort-like figure was looming over the crowd with a wand in his hand ready to cast a spell. Another surreal set was when a bunch of women in black dresses, full skirts and carpetbags descended from the sky using an umbrella each, giving an illusion of raining Mary Poppins.

Mr. Bean made his appearance, playing a keyboard in a "Chariots of Fire" scene. Wearing the signature Bean silly facial expressions, Rowan Atkinson showed a much faster way to get to the finish line but failed to anticipate his clumsiness. Aside from those popular fictional characters, there was real-life football hero David Beckham making a grand entrance with a speed boat.

For music fans, Arctic Monkeys catered the crowd with a live rendition of The Beatles' classic "Come Together" which was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. At the end of the ceremony, the Fab Four Mecca showed up on stage to deliver another hit single from his former band, "Hey Jude".

Madonna Called 'Sl*t' by French Fans After Short Concert

Madonna returned to Paris on Thursday, July 26 for another show in her MDNA tour. However, after performing for just 45 minutes, Madge became the target of boos and slurs from her fans. The audience began shouting insults at the singer such as "salope" which means "sl*t" in French and threw bottles on to the stage.

The show was added to the tour's line-up just last week and was sold out within hours. Spectators gathered around the venue while some camped overnight from Wednesday to Thursday outside Paris' l'Olympia for the concert. They were disappointed that the show only lasted from 10:15 to 11:00 in the evening, much shorter than her other performances.

Fans paid from 80 to 280 Euros for the seats and one clearly-disgruntled fan tweeted, "How much does it cost to see Madonna at l'Olympia? It's 6.3 euros per minute!" Another compared the show to another concert, "Madonna 45min/250€ vs @springsteen 3h40/65€ ... what's the better deal, there's nothing left to say!"

Due to the price of the tickets and the obvious dissatisfaction of the concertgoers, a large crowd unsurprisingly gathered on the streets in front of l'Olympia and yelled, "remboursez! remboursez!" which translates to "refund."

The singer has been the target of the French lately. She previously angered French National Party leader Marine Le Pen during a July 14 concert at Stade de France after she showed a photo of Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead during the show.

The veteran pop singer will be back in France on August 21 for a concert in Nice.

First Look: Clint Eastwood and Justin Timberlake's Bromance in 'Trouble with the Curve'

How Clint Eastwood will look like for his acting comeback in "Trouble with the Curve" has been uncovered in a newly released still. Being dropped via Entertainment Weekly, the image also unveils a first look at Justin Timberlake as Eastwood's pal in the baseball drama.

Eastwood and Timberlake are pictured sharing some buddy-time as they enjoy some cigars and beverages at a bar. Eastwood plays Gus, an aging Atlanta Braves scout with vision problems, while Timberlake portrays Johnny, a rival young scout who later develops respect for Gus.

Explaining Gus and Johnny's bromance, director Robert Lorenz said, "They're friendly. When Johnny was a ballplayer, Gus scouted him." Lorenz added that Johnny often helps Gus overcome his problems with his daughter. "At every moment she's ready to throw it in, Justin's character is there to sort of remind her of the value of continuing to pursue their relationship," he said.

Aside from Eastwood and Timberlake's first look, EW posted another still that shows the veteran actor walking on a baseball court with his on-screen daughter, played by Amy Adams. Of the father-daughter relationship, Lorenz said, "He gets his chance to prove whether he still has value as a scout - and as a dad."

"They're having trouble communicating," the director continued. "They always have, and now they've come to a point in the relationship where it's either going to change or it's not. He needs a little help, and she decides it's worth the effort."

"Trouble with the Curve" will mark Eastwood's first acting stint since 2008's "Gran Torino". At that time, the 81-year-old thesp said the movie would likely become his last acting stint. However, he hinted that he might consider to return someday. "You never know when I'll be back... ," he stated.

Focusing on an aging baseball scout who is losing his sight, and is heading on a last road trip to Atlanta with his daughter to scout a hotshot prospect, "Trouble with the Curve" will open in the U.S. on September 28. Serving as the screenwriter is Randy Brown.
