Chris Brown Performs at Billboard Music Awards; Fans Divided Over Obvious Lip-Syncing
Chris Brown brought his BMX skills to the Billboard Music Awards Sunday.
His vocal skills? Mmmnot so much, from the looks of the performance.
The singer rode onstage in Las Vegas to perform his high-energy hit “Turn Up the Music” against a colorful, bike ramp backdrop dubbed the “Fun Zone.”
Breezy’s leopard fur-lined jacket (open to show off his muscular, tattooed chest, obvi) and impressive dance moves wowed the crowd, but his singing?

Fans on Twitter were disappointed, at least in part, for Chris’ lip-syncing.

Did President Obama Lie About Being Born in Kenya?
A year after he put “birther” rumors to rest by releasing his birth certificate, President Obama’s background is back in the news again … with a twist.
An old bio of Obama from his former literary agent says he was born in Kenya, renewing debate over the authenticity of his own account(s) of his past.
You could essentially call this “reverse birtherism.”
In 2011, Obama proved born in the U.S., but did he lie in the past about being Kenyan-born to craft a more exotic, interesting-sounding background?
According to a booklet produced by Acton & Dystel, to showcase its roster of writers,

Robin Gibb Dead at 62
Robin Gibb, one of three brothers who made up the Bee Gees and their now-iconic 1970s sound, has died. The singer succumbed to cancer at 62.

He died in England at 10:47 a.m., according to his family.
Diagnosed with colon and liver cancer, Gibb had been in a coma as he battled pneumonia earlier this spring, representative Doug Wright said.
Doctors believe that Gibb had a secondary tumor, for which he had emergency surgery in 2010 for a blocked

Will Smith Shoves Mouthy Reporter in Moscow
He didn’t drop any condoms on the red carpet, but Will Smith experienced his own unusual situation during a movie premiere press line this week.
The actor was in Moscow on behalf of Men in Black III when a reporter from the Ukraine embraced the star with a hug… and then tried to follow that up with a kiss on the lips.
“He’s lucky I didn’t sucker punch him,” Smith is heard telling someone else soon afterward, though he responds very well from the saliva-based attack and is quickly seen below laughing about it.
It’s hard to blame Smith for his initial, surprised reaction, though, isn’t it?

We love Zooey Deschanel.
Let’s just put that out there right now. She’s a terrific actress whose New Girl quotes amuse us endlessly, an underrated singer and a very cool person.
Her new iPhone ad, though, is ripe for parody. You’ve likely seen it 200 times at this point and wondered why you’d ask Siri any of that stuff.
Well, here’s how Siri wishes she could respond …

American Idol Results: Who Made the Finals?
I love you guys so much because you have the courage to have a dream.
That’s what Steven Tyler told the remaining three American Idol contestants tonight. Alas, for one of Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet, the dream is now over. So… following a painful Ice Age 3 tie-in and a performance by Adam Lambert, who got voted out of season 11?
JOSHUA LEDET!
The talented crooner takes it very well and even brings his mom on stage as he sings farewell via “Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”
This leaves Jessica Sanchez, likely the best voice of the season, and Phillip Phillips, the

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s estranged wife Mary Kennedy died as a result of asphyxiation by hanging, confirming a report that surfaced yesterday.

John Travolta Lawsuit Dropped By Second Masseur
Just two days after John Travolta’s first accuser filed papers to dismiss his sexual battery lawsuit against the actor, the second accuser has followed suit.
The second accuser, also a male masseur, just fired his lawyer and will reportedly file new papers in an effort to dismiss the lawsuit in the near future.

It’s the last remaining lawsuit against Travolta, as both the third accuser (Fabian Zanzi) and the fourth accuser who came forward

Bobby Brown took to The Tonight Show stage to debut a new song he wrote about life since Whitney Houston’s death … we wish we were kidding.
The song, released online a week ago but little-noticed because Bobby Brown’s career has been on a 15-year tailspin, is a confession of sorts.
Bobby admits he “messed up pretty bad” and begs his late ex-wife … “Don’t let me die.” That’s right, even after her death, it’s all about BB.

The song also features the lyrics, “I didn’t realize that every breath I took was from you … You were my air.” That’s actually somewhat

Jennifer Lopez Leaving American Idol, Sources Say
While Jennifer Lopez has publicly said she has yet to make a decision about her future, numerous sources say she’s all but officially leaving American Idol.
Having just been ranked as Forbes’ most powerful celebrity in large part because Idol revitalized her career, J. Lo may be ready to take her talents elsewhere.
“She’s just too busy,” one source said, and with a tour with Enrique Iglesias kicking off this summer, with plans to go worldwide in the fall, there’s no doubting that.
If nothing else, the next round of Idol auditions would begin while she’s overseas, and all that time away
