Singer Bobby Brown has just won a get out of jail free pass. His court date has been moved to next month for driving with a suspended license and DWI. He was arrested for the same charges back in March. No word on the next court date. Mogul Russell Simmons and his brother the Rev Run have been accused of stealing money from their Pasties shoe line. Russell says the gentleman making the allegations is a disgruntled employee. Rappers Chief Keef and Gunplay have both made hip hop magazine XXLs list of "Freshmen Of 2012" list. The magazine honors artists it thinks have contributions to make to the music. Rapper 2 Chainz is ready to show off his acting chops. He'll  make a guest appearance on the hit sitcom "2 Broke Girls" where he'll play himself. No work on when the episode will air. It's been confirmed that singer Beyonce did lip sync "The Star Spangled Banner". It was a last minute decision by the singer herself, who recorded the second some time before. Lack of rehearsal time with the band may be one reason for the decision. Neither the White House nor Beyonce have commented. Singer Chris Brown is the latest victim of  a celebrity prank. Los Angeles police were called to the singers home claiming for a domestic dispute involving a gun. When they arrived, they found on dispute, no gun, and Brown wasn't home. It's possible that he could have been out with on-again-off again girlfriend Rihanna. The two have been seen around Los Angeles together, and even recorded a song together before  leaving the studio by separate exits. The prank is the latest in  series of "swatting" pranks targeting celebrities. Last week a caller falsely reported a gun at the home of Kris and Bruce Jenner. The LAPD is on the case, and have made catching the culprits a priority. Tonight's episode of "American Idol" will reportedly include the infamous fight between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey. Fans will recall the two got into a verbal confrontation some time back which caused a media firestorm.
