Mrs. Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Is Releasing An Album

Published on February 10, 2012 By

We didn't even know that she was a singer!

But this sounds like such a cool concept!

Rita Wilson is apparently taking a break from acting to release her debut solo album, which will be called AM/FM, and featuring classic songs from the '60s - the AM part - and the '70s - the FM part - and guest vocalists like Chris Cornell, Sheryl Crow, Faith Hill and Vince Gill!

She explains:

"That time period was hugely influential on me as a kid and as a teenager. I'd spend hours and hours lying on my bed, holding up the albums, reading the liner notes, and learning all the words to these songs that expressed what I was feeling or fantasizing about. The song sequence on the album tells a story of a very innocent, idealized version of love in the 'AM' section, before it shifts to the 'FM' section and becomes more about the disillusionment that happens after you've had some heartbreaks. As I got older, I began to understand that not everything had a happy ending. So I was drawn to songs by women who wrote about how love was not always the dream fantasy; (Read more...)

Suge Knight Arrested In Sin City After Cops Find Weed

Published on February 9, 2012 By

What happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay in Vegas.

Suge Knight was arrested in Sin City and he had a lot of shiz to deal with.

Vegas cops pulled up his record and saw he had multiple warrants for his unpaid tickets. Next, they search his car and found a small amount of Mary Jane.

On top of all that, Suge is on three years probation for driving with a suspended license.

Ouch!

The former mogul has hauled to jail and released after a short stint.

Breezy Plans On Super BIG Performance At This Year’s Grammys

Published on February 9, 2012 By

Perez Hilton

Chris Brown has been planning his Grammy performance for awhile and sources says he wants this one to be HUGE!

Breezy is nominated for three Grammys this year and he's hoping his performance can help him take one of them home.

However, we're a bit concerned about his behavior at the Grammys...circa 2009 with Rihanna.

A source said the following:

Chris is hopeful that his performance will close that chapter on his life. He will be bringing his mom to the awards ceremony, she is his biggest fan, and he has told her he is dedicating his performance to her.

We truly don't understand why he thinks that will ever go away.

Sorry, Breezy, but that's sticking with you. Forever.

RiRi and Breezy's handlers will keep them away from each other throughout the night.

We definitely think that's a good thing.
