Chris Brown’s Camp Explains Why He Spazzed On Valet Attendant
Apparently, that whole about-to-punch-the-parking-lot-attendant thing was because he was supposedly being scammed:
…the valet outside PINZ bowling alley in Studio City, CA — where Chris was attending a charity event — was supposed to charge $5 a pop … but when Chris tried to pick his car up, the valet tried to scam him by charging $10.The source says other people who parked at PINZ last night were charged $5. Chris believes he was singled out because he’s famous.Chris says it’s not about the money … it’s the principle of the thing.

Marco Rubio Quotes Jay-Z & Wiz Khalifa On Senate Floor
Why did Marco Rubio use lyrics from Hov & Wiz to push Rand Paul’s filibuster?
Because politics. This dude even quoted the f***in’ Godfather.
As of this writing, Rand Paul’s filibuster protesting potential legal drone assassinations on American soil was entering its eleventh hour. In addition to support across Twitter as well as lots of concern about when/how Paul’s going to the bathroom, the filibuster featured a memorable moment from the Republican Party’s number one rap fan, Marco Rubio. As the the filibuster’s resident wannabe Afrika Bambaataa scholar, Rubio peppered his speech with references to “modern day poet” Wiz Khalifa, Jay-Z, and the “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse” scene in The Godfather. Let’s hope this filibuster never ends.

Bin Laden’s Son-In-Law Captured By CIA For Conspiring To Kill Americans
Perhaps he didn’t care, but you would think that no other individual that’s even LINKED to a Bin Laden would even try their hand at terrorism….Big Brother is never letting his eyes of of them. Ever. From NY Times:
Weeks after he was first arrested in Turkey, a son-in-law of Osama bin Laden who once served as a spokesman for Al Qaeda will appear in a New York courtroom on Friday to face terrorism charges that could result in life imprisonment.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, who is married to one of Bin Laden’s daughters, Fatima, is to be charged with conspiracy to kill Americans, according to an indictment released Thursday. Justice Department officials described him as a propagandist who they believe has not had an operational role in Al Qaeda for years and did not participate in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, or in any plots against the United States. But one law enforcement official said that Mr. Abu Ghaith, 47, was the most senior Qaeda figure to face criminal trial in New York since America’s war against the terrorist network began.
Details about Mr. Abu Ghaith’s arrest were sketchy on Thursday, but officials said he was originally detained last month while staying in a hotel in Ankara, Turkey, after crossing the border from Iran, where he had been living for about a decade. According to one person in Washington briefed on the matter, Turkish officials rebuffed demands by the Obama administration to directly hand him over to the United States, choosing instead to deport him to Kuwait, his home country. On a stopover in Amman, Jordan, American officials took him into custody and flew him to New York.
Jordan’s spy service, the General Intelligence Directorate, is one of the Central Intelligence Agency’s closest partners in the Middle East.

Atlantic City 40/40 Club Permanently Closes Its Doors
Jay-Z’s 40/40 club in Atlantic City had already closed due to it’s lease running up in October; the damage from Hurricane Sandy pretty much solidified its demise. From Press of Atlantic City:
The $4 million, two-level facility co-owned by hip-hop superstar Jay-Z closed in October, said Cristin Bentz, assistant general manager for Tanger Outlets The Walk.
“Our leasing team is actively and diligently working to bring a great new tenant into the space. Stay tuned,” Bentz said.
Ron Berkowitz of Berk Communications in New York, the 40/40’s spokesman, said the club’s lease ended in October, the same month that Hurricane Sandy hit, causing tremendous water damage inside the club. The club has not been operational since then.
“There was a big hole in the roof as well,” Berkowitz said Wednesday. “With the end of the lease and with Sandy, we decided we had a great run, and it was time to move on.”
The 40/40, located at Mississippi and Atlantic avenues in front of Caesars Atlantic City, made a splash on the local nightclub scene when it opened in October 2005.

Lil Twist Wrecks Justin Bieber’s Fisker Then Flees (Details)
Reports TMZ:
If Justin Bieber continues to trust Lil Twist with his ultra-expensive cars, then he deserves what he gets, because TMZ has learned Twist had yet another mishap, and this one involves a hit and run.
We’ve learned Lil Twist was driving Justin’s chromed-out Fisker Karma Tuesday, just after 6PM, when he crashed into cement poles protecting a wall at a San Fernando Valley liquor store … damaging the poles and badly damaging the front-end of the car.
Sources tell us … either Twist or one of his passengers told an eyewitness, “Do you know whose car this is? It’s Justin Bieber’s car.”
We’re told a few minutes later, a BMW roared up to the parking lot and the driver told Twist and the passengers, “Get all the pieces from the car [that fell] and put it in the car [the BMW].” After putting the Fisker parts in the BMW, the 3 men took off in the BMW, leaving the Fisker behind.
Sources say one of the 2 passengers was Chris Brown. His reps have not confirmed or denied.

UPDATE: Will Smith Makes Visit To Brixton
UPDATE: I’m not sure if he did a second surprise or if this occurred on the same day, but we now have some footage of Will Smith rocking the Fresh Prince theme song for the kids.
Currently, the former Fresh Prince is in London with his son Jayden, who is there to support Justin Bieber on tour….apparently wanting to see the “real London”, Will Smith made a surprise visit to Brixton, accompanied by Labour MPs Tessa Jowell and Chuka Umunna:
Tessa Jowell, MP for neighbouring Dulwich and West Norwood, tweeted earlier to say: “Will Smith wanted to see ‘London’s Harlem’! So proud to show him the best of Brixton!” and MP for Streatham Chuka Umunna said: “Will wanted to see “real” London and it doesn’t get more real than Lambeth.”

Justin Bieber Rushed To Hospital After Collapsing In London
From TMZ:
A source close to Justin tells us the singer felt woozy during the show at the O2 Arena … and with 4 songs to go, he stumbled backstage where he collapsed.
We’re told the singer was pulled into a private room where he was treated with oxygen from emergency personnel.
Sources say Bieber was advised to go to the hospital … but declined … insisting that he “had to finish the show for his fans.”
That’s when Bieber’s rep, Scooter Braun, went on stage on told the crowd … “Justin’s got very light breath. The whole show he’s been complaining, He’s backstage with the EMTs and the doctor.”
A short time later, JB returned to the stage … completed the show … and got a HUGE ovation.
Justin was transported to the hospital directly following the show … and we’re told he’s still there receiving treatment.

UPDATE: Chris Brown Spazzes On Parking Valet Attendant Over $10
UPDATE: Better video.
How many people wanna bet that he’s going to lay his hands on Rihanna again? Seriously….from TMZ:
It all went down at PINZ bowling alley in Studio City … where CB had been attending a charity event with his posse.
But when Chris went to get his car from the valet, the guy working the parking lot asked for the $10 charge … and Chris got PISSED.
After the valet made it clear he couldn’t release the car without the cash … the singer and his posse surrounded the guy … and at one point you can hear Chris say, “F*ck ten dollars.”
Sources at the scene tell us Brown was angry because he was only at the event for 30 minutes and felt like he was getting ripped off by the valet.
As tensions grew, someone in Chris’ posse can be heard saying. “We got the money … don’t worry about it.”
Cash rules everything around me.
