Talking to BBC Radio 1 Usher revealed, “The tour wasn’t cancelled there was a conversation, nothing more than a conversation. We may work together on something in the near future. I think it would be really incredible if we did do something. ”

When asked about his UK tour Usher announced, “We’ll be back in the UK so stay tuned as maybe a surprise will come out of that.” When we push him and ask if he means Chris Brown he got all coy: “I didn’t say anything, all I said was there may be a surprise worth waiting for.”

“Choked on my cornflakes when I heard new Chris Brown single this morning. Do you know what I mean?” Harris tweeted before claiming that Brown’s track is strikingly similar to his U.K. number one single “I’m Not Alone.”

The comments incited a war of words between fans of Brown and Harris. After one fan claimed that Harris could never reach Brown’s level of success the Scotsman said he is happy with his career.

“Listen, if anyone ever sees me on the same level as Chris Brown, let me know and I’ll f*****g stab myself” Harris writes.

Brown has recently held the top spot on the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B singles chart with his track “Deuces,” featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall.

Damaged and disgraced dancer-singer Chris Brown is demanding a trade from his current label over at Sony Music to Universal, which houses Cash Money/Young Money label, mediatakeout.com reports. They say that the two major labels are working out the particulars even as we speak.

goes on to say…

Brown may finally find a place to lay his head and grow artistically. He hasn’t been feeling the love lately – not from the press, his fans, nor the stock workers at Walmart. So with Lil Wayne about to ink a seven-figure clothing deal and with Drake and Nicki Minaj reaching superstar status without even releasing albums yet, Young Money is already blowing up. Might be the perfect incubator for career reinvention for Brown.

Rihanna pictured leaving ‘Cipriani Downtown’ Restaurant while Chris Brown was pictured hiding inside his car after having dinner at ‘Via Dei Mille’ Restaurant right across street in West Broadway.

Chris Brown spotted leaving Rihanna’s hotel in New York City today. Despite a restraining order and less than a week after Brown appeared on YouTube to make a public apology over the assault, it appears the two reunited over the weekend.

However, with the perilous months that Brown has experienced, he is hardly in anyone’s good graces. Celeb or not. But, could a performance of monumental proportions begin to heal the wounds of disappointment and anger that our little golden boy administered in February. Think back to the 2007 World Music Awards where Brown performed an amazing rendition of MJ’s Thriller, along with impromptu performances at previous BET award shows that left us speechless.

There’s no doubt that Brown needs something to catapult him back into the super-stardom that he was once accustomed to. The world is hurting, especially us Black folk that literally grew up on the Jackson Five and MJ hits. We need to see that his legacy lives on. Many people, some indifferent, some disgruntled, claim that they would like to see Brown do a performance at the awards show which airs on Sunday.

Are we ready to forgive Chris Brown? Although we disagree with his actions and definitely believe that he has more crow to eat, this is a moment to take to the spotlight and do us proud. Somebody go get that jacket from the cleaners and buy back that glove. There’s work to be done. R.I.P Michael.

The alleged attack on Rihanna has also inspired teenagers to post teen dating violence videos, warning people about the dangers and how to avoid them. It comes as Kanye West recently posted the final version of his song Paranoid, which Rihanna stars in the sinister video clip.

The crime/action thriller which comes out Jan 8, 2010 was originally going to heavily market stars T.I. and Chris Brown to the urban demo but now T.I. will ironically be the main attraction (even though he’s going to jail) along with broader reaching actors Paul Walker and Hayden Christensen. Unofficial word has it that Chris will be “erased” from marketing material such as the movie poster, trailer and TV ads to avoid any controversy. The movie has already finished filming in Los Angeles so Chris will still be in the movie but just don’t expect to see much of him in the advertising.

Yeti says: This is bad news for Chris’ acting career. Being shunned from the music industry is one thing but Chris had a rising film career with his “boy next door” persona going on for him. If the rumors are true then he will lose millions in movie contracts from this fallout. The fact that he will be “erased” from this movie is just the first sign that Hollywood studios will be avoiding him like the plague as well. Chris’ agents and managers are hoping big time (and expensive) Hollywood PR man Alex Nierob can help save his career though…or what’s left of it.
