In the video, Chris Brown speaks candidly about being in love with two people at the same time, while recent footage of him with his two special ladies flash by. “When you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it’s kind of difficult, you know what I’m saying? Is there such thing as loving two people? I don’t know. I don’t know if that’s possible, but for me, I feel like that.” “I’m just stressed out. It ain’t about the music, I love my fans, it’s just that when you share a history with somebody and you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it’s kinda difficult.” Wow, Breezy!!! Hey, his life IS a movie, so why not?! Check out the video below: “The Real Chris Brown”  from  David Alan ...

It used to be that if the rap game didn’t work for most it was back to hustling in the streets. Rapper Mystikal  has a better idea for a backup plan, equally frowned upon by most of society yet legal nontheless: the porn industry. That’s right. Mystikal told  TMZ.com  if his music career doesn’t return to past glory he wants to roll like  Sean Michaels . This is very ironic since Mystikal went to jail because of a sex crime, but who am I to judge? While rappers are trying to keep their  sexcapades caught on film under wraps , Mystikal wants to share himself with the world. Go figure. With one AVN Award already under his belt for a film he didn’t actually perform in (2003′s  Liquid City ) the ragin cajun said he’d like to co-star with  Pinky XXX .

We sure didn’t, but we found out this weekend when Royce tweeted that she was going to be in Tampa for one of K’s performances (“ That’s game… Headed to the @kmichelle concert!!!!! Lets gooooo!!!!

There is a  Whitney Houston  biopic in the works. Surely, you knew that already. What you might not have known is that  Idris Elba  is on the short list of actors the  film producers are courting for the role  of  Bobby Brown . Don’t spit out your drink, you did read correctly.
