Chris Brown: ‘I Looked in the Mirror and Hated the Person I See’

Chris Brown is taking a look back over his troubled life and he isn’t liking what he sees. The singer wrote a long not on Instagram promising that he’s going to be a better man.

“Most of my issues always deal with love and me being in my feelings. Not to mention me being a dog sometimes,” he wrote. “I can say that my actions contributed a lot to my karma. There has been times where I looked in the mirror and hated the person I see. I talk to God a lot now. He’s given me so much and I feel like I waste his gifts because of my impulsive personality.” There may be hope for you yet, Breezy. [Instagram]

Mariah Carey: American Idol was the ‘Worst Experience of My Life’

Would Mariah Carey consider judging the last season of American Idol?

“Hell no! Absolutely not! That was the worst experience of my life,” she told the Kyle and Jackie O radio show in Australia. Carey vented about her less-than-ideal experience judging the talent show and the producer manufactured feud between herself and Nicki Minaj. 

“Let’s just say, I don’t think they had any interest in us having a good experience through that show. Pitting two females against each other wasn’t cool. It should have been about the contestants instead of about some non-existent feud that turned into even more ridiculousness.” [Huffington Post]

“Really girl, I thought we were cool. I guess I should’ve known something was up when you ignored me,” read one tweet. “What did I ever do to you? Oh, I get it probably cuz I will sing you down on the stage is that it?” Read all of Lynn’s scathing tweets here.

Kevin Hart Defends Fiancée from Internet Haters

Eniko Parrish has had to defend her relationship to comedian Kevin Hart ever since they got engaged a year ago. Most recently, comments left under an Instagram post of the two holding hands implied that Parrish is only with Hart for his money and fame. Hart took the comments section himself to defend his fiancée. 

“Message to all of the angry women that leave negative comments on her page….Your life must truly suck if someone else’s happiness bothers you,” he wrote. “ARE WE WORRYING ABOUT YOU????? The answer is not even a little bit. Now have a blessed negative thinking day….P.S. I love chicken nuggets…ok I’m done.” [Madame Noire]
