Chris Brown Begs Fans To Get Him On The Radio

Chris Brown

Chris Brown just called to say he loves you….and that he’s really desperate. In a remarkably pleading message left on his SayNow account, the Graffiti singer pleaded for fans to get him back on the radio. “I never really did this…I need all of my fans’ help. All the fans that I have, I need your help. A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records…they are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. It’s on the fans, and what you guys do in your power to bring me back. That’s all I need is you guys and nothing else will do that, except for the fans.”

Though vaguely reaffirming his continuing regret over beating Rihanna last year (”I don’t know what else I can do…I’m doing everything I need to do, I’m doing me as a person, I’m a better guy”), Brown suggests he can’t survive off good intentions alone. “It won’t be possible [to continue] if I’m not relevant on the radio and it won’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have any support…I can’t be an underground mixtape artist, heh.” Like how Jon Gosselin can’t get a normal job? After Chris’ expletive-filled Twitter meltdown last December, we’re surprised his handlers are cool with him having access to a service like this. Next time you’re feeling unappreciated, dude—call your mom.

Daisy De La Hoya On Corey Haim: “We Had An Automatic Connection”

Corey Haim & Daisy De La Hoya

Daisy De La Hoya, who posted “inconsolable” tweets after learning of Corey Haim’s death, has come forward to say she and late actor had struck up a relationship little over a month before his death yesterday. “Corey was looking forward to the future, he was making plans,” she told Radar. “He had a movie coming up and he was talking about directing, I can’t believe he would of done this on purpose, it had to be an accident.” The pair were introduced by none other than Corey Feldman. “[He] had been saying to me for ages that I had to meet Corey Haim, he said we were totally kindred spirits and that we would really hit it off…Eventually we did meet and he was right.”

According to E! News, the pair went on their first “official date” only two weeks ago. “Daisy loved The Lost Boys, and she always had a crush on Corey,” says their source. “They weren’t in an exclusive relationship, but they were having a lot of fun getting to know each other and seeing what would happen. Corey told Daisy she is a beautiful person with a beautiful heart.” “It’s such a tragedy, he was so talented and had so much to offer,” said De La Hoya. “He was a sweet, caring, respectful person who just wanted to be loved.”

Girlicious Singer Caught With Cocaine

Natalie Mejia & Girlicious

Well, on the bright side, Girlicious finally got their name in headlines. Natalie Mejia, one of four women to win a spot in the girl-group via the 2007 reality TV show Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious, was arrested on suspicion of possessing cocaine for sale. A car containing Mejia was pulled over for speeding in Glendale, CA Tuesday night, with police finding more than a dozen bags of cocaine in her purse. We’d make a punny reference to one of their songs, but we can’t remember any.

Despite the public disinterest that met their 2008 debut—and the departure of member Tiffanie Anderson last year—the remaining trio were in the process of recording an album for Universal Records Canada (where apparently their last album went platinum!) at the time of Mejia’s arrest. The singer reportedly told police she was unaware of the drugs, and preliminary investigation suggest they may have been placed by the car’s driver, Peter Asencio, who was also arrested for driving with a suspended license. Neither the group nor Mejia, released on bail, has commented on the charges.

Will Charlie Sheen Use Wife’s Drug Problems To Escape Charges?

Charlie Sheen & Brooke Mueller

With Charlie Sheen out of rehab and back to work, all that stands between him and who-knows-how-many-more multi-million dollar Two And A Half Men paychecks is that wife Brooke Mueller accused Sheen of holding a knife to her throat over Christmas weekend in Aspen…and the authorities haven’t forgotten. According to Radar, Sheen will use Mueller’s recent trips to rehab to dismiss her testimony if he can’t plea his way out of the felony menacing charge. “Charlie is going to contend that everything Brooke told police isn’t true,” says their source. “That she was out of her head, that she was so messed up she didn’t know what was going on.” Mueller, while asking for charges to be dropped, has yet to rescind her account.

“She partied hard before the incident. She drank heavily and she smoked crack. And Charlie is fully prepared to use that as part of his defense…We’re talking about someone who was wasted at 8 in the morning and who smoked crack.” But even if he succeeds in discrediting the mother of his newborn twins (and presumably endangering their custody rights), a high-profile court drama (the prosecution is allegedly prepared to call ex-wife Denise Richards and others to discuss his violent past) and new rumors of drug-fueled three-ways and renewed prostitution use, Sheen may be headed for a career trainwreck no matter what the verdict is.

Should Elton John Replace Simon On Idol?

Really, why do they consider anyone else? Former Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that no one is better suited to replace departing judge Simon Cowell than Elton John (”he’s absolutely it“). Though we understand the logic behind such rumored frontrunners as ex-Sony head Tommy Mottola and Madonna manager Guy Oseary, we have to agree with Nigel. Mottola and Oseary may bring industry respect, they’re mostly famous for respectively marrying Mariah Carey and letting Madonna release “American Life.” John is a trash-talking British sweetheart (we like those) who could probably use an excuse to get off the road, and his star power could keep Ellen DeGeneres from being Idol’s Cousin Oliver. Plus he’s pals with the other judges—even Simon, as proven by their goofy photo ops in the gallery below.

Would you like to see Elton take Simon’s seat on Idol? Let us know in our TheFABLife poll.

Sarah Jessica Parker Fixes Her Oscar Hair

Sarah Jessica Parker

For someone who’s allegedy a master at style, Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t always know how to pick her battles. Days after she unwisely chose “massive, complicated bun” over “hair that isn’t totally frizzed out” at the Oscars (forget The Morgans, Sarah, did you hear about the hairspray?), the Sex And The City star looked considerably more relaxed at Bravo’s upfront party yesterday, where she hawked the upcoming art-themed reality show she’s producing (the working title is American Artist, but we vote for So You Think You Can Paint?). Parker wasn’t the only cinema star present—Matthew McConaughey came along to support girlfriend, Shear Genius host Camila Alves. Be like Mateo, Sarah, and keep it casual next time.

Paps Get Bloody Over Mena Suvari—In 2010!

Mena Suvari & Paparazzi

These dudes really want that shot—any shot. A pap was left bloodied after an argument broke out between photographers chasing American Beauty actress Mena Suvari as she shopped on Robertson Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Do we have to explain how insane this is? Sure, one doesn’t hear much about the Sugar & Spice actress these days, but it’s not because she’s our Greta Garbo. Mena’s been photographed shopping in Beverly Hills as far back as 2007, and as recently as last month—it’s not a major event. At all. Why were so many of you out there anyway? Be like hawks—not pigeons.

Howard Stern Mocks “Enormous” Gabourey Sidibe

Howard Stern found the loveliest way to say Gabourey Sidibe should have won Best Actress for Precious on his radio show Monday. “There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie. She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?” Sidibe has already scored roles on Showtime’s The C Word and the indie drama Yelling To The Sky, but Howard was too busy complaining about Oprah Winfrey’s ego-boosting to check IMDb. “Oprah’s another liar, a filthy liar. She’s telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she’s going to have a career.” Considering the lack of precedent for Oprah’s success, is she really that far off base? Let us know in our poll if you think Howard has a point about Sidibe’s chances to maintain stardom, or if he’s just a simple-minded jerk…or both.

Demi Moore Gives Daughter Rumer Pole Dancing Lessons

58233320

There’s a trend brewing in Hollywood these days where cool celebrity moms take pole-dancing lessons with their daughters. Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri did it and now Demi Moore and Rumer Willis are getting on board. The New York Post reported that Moore gave Willis a pole-dancing lesson at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood for her birthday party and mom and daughter both gave the pole a spin, while A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, and Rumer’s stepfather Ashton Kutcher looked on. In perhaps the creepiest quote of the day, the Post reports that after Willis gave it a try “Everyone was cheering, and Leo gave Ashton a high-five.” Hey, your stepdaughter’s thighs can really grip that thing, up high, bro!

We wonder though, is this trend actually cool? We get that working the pole has been a workout craze for a while, but when you get down to it, it’s still not something we’d want to do in front of, with, or even in the same state as our mom. ‘Cause of, you know, the strippery vibe. That’s not something our mom would be proud of. [Photo: Getty Images]

Eli Roth And Peaches Geldof: Still Smooching After The Oscars

Eli Roth & Peaches Geldof

Looks like the Bear Jew is hungry for Peaches. Inglorious Basterds star/Hostel director Eli Roth was spotted kissing British socialite/underwear model Peaches Geldof in his car yesterday, following their quality time at the Vanity Fair Oscar After Party Sunday night. While mum on their depth of their relationship, the 20-year-old divorcee confirmed her date with 37-year-old Roth on Twitter. “At the Vanity Fair Oscar night party with @eliroth who’s got a silent movie star look going down tonight. Very sharp.” (Roth himself has stayed mum on the matter, except for a Twitpic of himself tanning before the big show).

Was it just a wild weekend for Geldof and Roth—who really is 37, we can’t believe it either—or is it something serious? Take a look for yourself in the gallery below.
