Tuesday Tales

Singer Chris Brown cleared up rumors that he was banned from the recent Michael Jackson tribute concert due to his 2009 assault charge involving former girlfriend Rihanna by saying he didn't attend the event because he's still in the middle of dates on his F.A.M.E. tour. In the meantime, another tribute concert for the singer is scheduled for next year. The Jackson brothers will reportedly headline the event. A documentary style video of rapper Lil Wayne has been released in which the rapper admits to having a syrup problem in the past, and that he began using it after hearing his idol, the late Pimp C, rapping about it. A Belgium choreography is claiming that singer Beyonce copied her moves for her new video, "Countdown". Although there's been no comment from the singer, she did reveal in an interview that her baby is due in November. Producers for the upcoming biopic on the late Mahalia Jackson are reportedly upset with singer Fantasia. They claim she told them she gained weight for her role, when in actuality, the singer is expecting her second child. Production on the film has been pushed back until her due date, which is in December. Former LAPD detective Greg Kading's new book, "Murder Rap", is making waves, claiming that Sean "Diddy "Combs was behind the murder of Tupac Shakur, and that Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight ordered the shooting of Notorious B.I.G. in response. Biggie's close friend, collaborator and former Junior Mafia member Lil Cease isn't buying it. He says every year or every few months there's something different. He went on to add that he hopes justice is served so that Voletta Wallace and Afeni Shakur can have closure. Let's hope that happens soon. After postponing two previous release dates, rapper Yelawolf announced a third and final release date for his debut album "Radioactive". The album will feature collaborations with Lil Jon, Eminem, Gangsta Boo, Royce Da 5'9", Fefe Dobson and Kid Rock, with production by Travis Barker, Jim Jonsin, Hydrox and Diplo. The rapper says he needed to add a few finishing touches to the album before releasing it. The album is now due to hit stores on November 21. No doubt fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the album, as Yelawolf is one of hip hop's brightest new stars. Week 4 of "Dancing With The Stars" was movie night, and Chaz Bono brought mom Cher to tears with his performance. Be sure to tune in tonight to see who goes home. It's been an exciting star to the season, and it's anyone's guest who will walk away with the mirror ball trophy. On DVD: "Green Lantern". On the tube: "MLB Baseball" on Fox, "NCIS" on CBS, "Last Man Standing" on ABC and "The Biggest Loser" on NBC. Happy Tuesday!
