The Celebrity Brawl

New reports from TMZ says that Artists, Chris Brown and Frank Ocean, had an "All out brawl" this past Weekend. Sources say that they have allegedly fought over a parking spot at Westlake studio out in L.A. Police are calling Frank Ocean "the victim" because he was the only person who stuck around to give a report and his side of the story. Frank's side of the story was that there was a parking spot that Chris wanted and when Frank said, "No." Chris retaliated by punching him. Six of Chris's friends had also joined in the fight and jumped Frank Ocean. TMZ was told that Frank Ocean so far hasn't pressed any charges on Chris, and no arrests have been made. However, sources had told TMZ that it was in fact Frank who started this fight. Frank and his crew had blocked Chris from leaving the studio and Frank had hit Chris triggering the brawl. After the fact Frank had tweeted this:

"got jumped by chris and a couple guys. lol, I only wish everest (his dog) was there." and "cut my finger now I can't play w two hands at the grammys." Although Chris Brown doesn't have control of his twitter anymore he does control his instagram posting this picture of him and his crew at the studio. His caption read, "Working on my album. Not working on negativity. Focus on feeding ya family. Bullshit will forever be in the shadows."

First off let me just come right out and say this because I feel as though somebody should say it... What the hell is this fight even about? Yes, it is a stupid story to write about, but I just wanted to go on a little rant about how stupid people can be. Over a parking spot? Really you guys? Like you guys have, in my opinion, the best living style in the world and you want to argue over a parking spot? How lame is that. This just gets under my skin a little bit, yet it also makes me chuckle. This is too ridiculous on both ends. Either story I read from TMZ is just absurd, both of them are acting Hollywood. One thinks they're better then the other. I am a fan of Frank and Chris's, but both of them acted so immature. They are both grown male adults and should act accordingly. I think both of their egos got in the way and ended in a  physical altercation. I'm pretty sure that Chris Brown is still on probation from him assaulting Rhianna, so I have no idea why he thinks he can fight and get away with it. Again, going back to the fact that he is acting "Hollywood" meaning he thinks he's above the law and thinks he should be treated with special privileges.

I want to find out what really happened, and who really started it. I think in either situation it's so dumb of them, but that's just me. I hope that in the future they can get past this ordeal and actually make a song with one another. I think the two of them combined in a song would be epic and I would actually look forward to it. In this incident I side with Frank Ocean more over Chris Brown just because of the fact I'm more of a Frank Ocean fan than a Chris Brown fan. Frank also seems like a very sweet and kind heart-ed person. So to hear sources tell TMZ that it was he who started the problem is actually shocking. Then again who can really rely on sources from TMZ? I could see Chris starting it because of his past aggressions towards Rhianna and his rants on Twitter before he lost control of what he tweeted. However, you never know. I mean I personally don't know either of them so I can't really say who has more aggression or who would of most likely started the brawl, but what I can assume is that Chris Brown would be the runner up. Who could you see starting the fight? Leave a comment below!

A debocale for Manti Te'o?

Source
A recent article from, E News Online,  states that Notre Dame linebacker, Manti Te'o, was essentially "Catfished." Te'o had claimed, right before a big game, that his grandmother and his girlfriend had passed away the same day. Te'o played well in his game and won a No.2 Heisman ranking before the truth had come out. The story about his grandmothers passing was very much true. However, his girlfriend dying on the other hand was fake. In fact, his girlfriend was fake altogether! Apparently, Te'o had been dating his so called girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, for months, but she was made up. Sources are still unclear if Te'o thought Lennay was an actual person he was dating and was dead, or somebody he had made up and used just for attention. After he was exposed Te'o claimed that he had been Catfished, meaning he had a relationship with this women over the internet but has never met or seen her physically in person. This hoax has hindered his career by closing endorsement deals he could of had. Manti has yet to do an interview explaining all of this chaos of a story this turned out to be.

I personally don't see how Manti Te'o didn't know this Lennay character wasn't fake. I can't believe that he wouldn't of been on Skype or Oovoo with her. If you're dating somebody, long distance or not, and you have a laptop or any computer with a camera, there is really no reason why Te'o couldn't see who she really was. I feel as though Manti Te'o had made up this whole story so people would feel bad for him, get a No. 2 Heisman ranking and to draw attention to himself. Well played if that was his goal because now all of the attention is on him. It's common sense in a person that if you have never met your significant other in person and you have been dating for a couple of months, something is wrong in that picture. If he did make this whole story up I wonder what his excuse would be. I wonder if he would just let everybody know that he just wanted attention.

On the other side of things there is a good chance that Manti could possibly be telling the truth. What if he didn't know that his girlfriend was actually somebody else pretending to be Lennay? In the article I read the writer said Manti could of simply felt embarrassed that he was catfished and just said she had died so that nobody would ask about her. Even if he did find out about his girlfriend being fake and not really being her, that gives him no right to go out and tell t.v cameras that your girlfriend had died. Why bring your girlfriend up in the first place? Either way I still feel as though Manti was just simply looking for attention and pity from others. If people didn't find out that this story was actually false, I think he would of been rewarded ever more that he already has been. I look forward to seeing how this all plays out for Manti and interested in seeing if he really made this up. I wonder how he'll get himself out of this mess!
