Chris Brown allegedly assaults Rihanna

I wasn't planning on saying anything about this, because no one really knows what's going on or what's actually true. What we do know is that Chris Brown was arrested Sunday evening and has allegedly assaulted a woman. Though her identity has not been confirmed, sources are claiming that it is indeed his girlfriend, Rihanna.

First off, it's sad that what was supposed to be a great weekend for them both has turned into such a disaster. Rihanna was set to open the Grammys last night and both artists were nominated for multiple awards. If these allegations turn out to be factual, Chris Brown's career is over. I don't think there's any getting around that. And if that happens, he brought it upon himself.

In my attempts to find out more about the situation, I'm sad to say I stumbled upon too many comments from random people to the tune of "Rihanna got what she deserved." I am extremely bothered and I figured I'd let it off my chest, so to speak, and maybe I could get back to sleep tonight. Because these people are celebrities, I can understand feeling like their situation is removed from reality in some way. No one, however, deserves domestic abuse. This is not another wacky celebrity event that the world will parody and laugh about for weeks. There is no humor involved here, so your jokes are beyond inappropriate. I don't care how you may feel about Rihanna's songs or image, you're scum if you can express concern over Chris Brown's career instead of her well being. Hopefully, it will come to light that there was a misunderstanding, or it wasn't Rihanna at all. But, for now, I'm just ashamed to see such cold comments from so many people.

Update: It has been confirmed that it was in fact Rihanna that Chris Brown assaulted. Photographic evidence was taken at the scene and Rihanna's bruises are said to have been 'horrific.' This really rocks my world. It just shatters my view of the kids of my generation and their impact on pop culture.

Oh yeah, and people are still scumbags. Chris Brown deserves every thing he gets. I hope he's brought to justice quickly.

I can't f***ing stand William Kristol!

Whenever I read Kristol's column, I end up pissed off afterwards and desperately searching for a comment box where I can tell him why he's an asshole. No such comment box exists, however, and so I just end up sulking for a while. And while using my blog as a soapbox is a roundabout path to revenge, I need to just get it off my chest.

I can't f***ing STAND William Kristol!! He's an asshole!!! I hate him as an opinion columnist, obviously, as I don't know him personally. But, it's real and it's deep.

Heroes is officially getting on my nerves

This won’t be a full-fledged rant, because, frankly, I don’t have the strength. But if this show isn’t a piece of crap, I don’t know what is. And I thought last season was bad! Granted, we’re only like four episodes in, but I get a headache every Monday night at 8:20 like clockwork. They’ve brought back to life just about every character, as if the actual storyline wasn’t hard enough to follow. Because the second season ended so long ago, I barely have a grip on who’s supposed to be alive or dead to begin with. And I’ll be damned if I have to go back and watch that garbage again. And miraculous resuscitations aside, there’s too much other stuff that just doesn’t make sense. Ali Larter must have a good contract, ‘cause when her character died she had another one waiting in the wings. Sylar’s all docile now. Why? Peter has the “hunger.” Why?! He can already have any power he wants by walking past the guy! And the slapstick adventures of Hiro and Ando Piss. Me. Off.

I’m just tired of the direction of the show in general. You’d think that by season three, these people would stop marveling over the fact that they have powers and start using them. But, no. Peter’s still a weak, little bitch. Something mildly interesting went down last night, but I’m wondering if I should just drop the show altogether. I watch too much TV as it is.

*Update: The series had its first good episode of the season this week and I am no longer nearly as infuriated.

???

I don't know how to express my feelings in type. I've tried "Arrrghhh," "Noooooooo," etc. FUCK! Goddamn it, I can't take it.

Smash has been delayed...AGAIN...an entire, fucking MONTH in the States. I'm gonna stop writing now, my head hurts...

The Iowa Caucuses?!?!...girl, please, did you hear about BRITNEY?!

Not to be outdone by, you know, more important things, like, I dunno, say the presidency, the hot, rancid mess that is Britney Spears put on her own show last night. Apparently she held her kids hostage, was high on something or other, was whisked away in an ambulance, yada yada. Goddamnit, I am so sick and tired of hearing about her. It's one thing to be all over the tabloids, but CNN coverage?! It's outrageous, especially on a night where something a little more important was going on. It's not like they didn't have anything else to report. It's a reflection of our sordid society, and it's sad. You have to believe that there are people livid out there, looking for coverage on the caucuses and finding that Britney Spears is "breaking news" on CNN. I'm 21 and an avid connoisseur of pop music, and I'm livid. "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE." We don't care.
