STARZ Shuts Down Chris Brown?

According to Hot New Hip Hop, police were not able to find any firearms at Chris’ house amid the serious allegations.

The site reports:

Chris Brown is currently under investigation for allegedly pointing a gun at a woman’s head after she examined a diamond necklace at his home earlier this week. According to a new report from the Los Angeles Times, his attorney Mark Geragos claims he LAPD’s search of his Los Angeles mansion yielded the discovery of neither firearms nor the crucial piece of jewelry described in the accuser’s report.

“It has become apparent that the allegations are not just false but fabricated,” Geragos said.

Geragos’ claim conflicts with an earlier report from TMZ that claimed police found at least one firearm and drugs in a duffel bag Brown had thrown out the window. However, it is corroborated by a newer TMZ report that the accuser, former beauty pageant queen Baylee Curran, texted her friend at 2:57 AM Tuesday morning shortly, telling him that she planned to fabricate allegations against Brown after Brown kicked her out of his house.

In related news, Chris got even more bad news this week would he learned his appearance on STARZ’s hit “Power” was shut down by network executives.

Page Six writes:

Sources tell us that Fiddy had promised his friend Brown a major role on his hit Starz show, but network execs put a stop to the plan.

A source close to Brown told us, “50 promised Chris a big role on ‘Power,’ playing a drug dealer. But 50 didn’t consult the network first, and execs were not happy when they found out about it.”

The source continued, “The network insisted that Chris’ casting was not going to happen, because of fears about his anger issues. There was a big blowup, and they had to tell Chris he was not going to get the role. The news was delivered to him early Monday. He was livid.”

…On Thursday, 50 Cent was still insisting he’ll get Brown on the show, despite the network’s reservations. He told Page Six, “Tune into ‘Power’ next season, because you will see Chris Brown.”

  1. 50 needs to sit his azz down. Once they go the Empire route and start booking all these celebrities, the show will become trash just like Empire did.

    1. This is so true. You would think 50 would understand that but he’s letting this Executive Producer title go straight to his head. I’m glad the network said no.

  2. It’s basically been confirmed in so many ways that he was lied on. But for goodness sakes, please don’t put him on Power. 50 is such a mess for trying.

  3. So 50 hates Power being compared to Empire, but he wants it to be like Empire by hiring all these celebrities when there’s no need to? Why am I not surprised? First Amber, and now Chris.

  4. 50 is going to have to get used to making money in television. He’s sadly mistaken if he thinks he’s just going to be able to hire his buddies when he gets good and ready to without getting things ok’d by network heads. Starz will always have the final say on that.
