Joe Budden Talks Molly On Fox 5 News

Joe Budden gave a testimonial on NY’s Fox 5 News. He spoke on the dangerous of the drug and the effects it had on his life.

“I didn’t see a problem with the fact that maybe five days would go by without sleeping,” Budden says. “I didn’t see a problem with the fact that maybe I was hallucinating at times. I didn’t see a problem with the fact that I just couldn’t get up and walk sometimes. It just altered your thinking process dramatically and for a thinker like myself that was like nothing I’d ever experienced before.

Chris Brown Goes To Court With Rihanna By His Side

From CNN:

Rihanna left no doubt about how she feels about Chris Brown and the probation he’s serving for beating her up four years ago.
The pop star sat behind Brown in court Wednesday while a prosecutor asked a judge to order the singer to restart the community labor that is his punishment for the felony assault conviction.

It was Rihanna’s second time in a courtroom with Brown. The first was the day in August 2009 when Brown was sentenced to five years’ probation and ordered to stay away from her. Then, she was a witness for the prosecution.

“She thinks it’s utterly ridiculous what they’re doing to him,” Brown lawyer Mark Geragos said when a reporter asked why his assault victim was in court.

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office has “tortured” Brown during his probation worse than any client he’s ever had, Geragos said.

In a court filing this week, prosecutors accused Brown of not completing the 180 days of community labor ordered when he pleaded guilty to the felony assault charge.

The former(?) comedian and all-around crazy person told the judge he missed the previous court dates because he was in another courtroom fighting for custody of his children. Ha! Good luck with that. Anywhoo, after a brief appearance before the judge, Katt confronted KTXL reporter Ben Deci, calling him a stalker and “not a member of the legitimate press.”
