PHARRELL SCREAMS AT COLLEGE FANS


THE FACTS
Video of Pharrell screaming at fans has surfaced online.

THE SPIN
While performing at some date at Emory University, Pharrell channeled his own inner spazzer by cursing out fans that were apparently too close to the stage. The stadium was overcrowded – a good thing considering college students are typically broke and well, we are in a recession.
 
I’m all for safety, but hey, don’t kirk out on folks who are inclined to download your stuff illegally quicker than any other demographic.
 
YOUR SPIN: Should the students ban Pharrell from returning? Tell us here.

ANDRE 3000 CAUGHT SPEEDING IN PORSCHE


THE FACTS
TMZ reports that Andre 3000 was arrested for speeding in Henry County in Georgia.

THE SPIN
What would possess Andre 3000 to go 44 miles over the speed limit in a Porsche (you know – nothing to noticeable)? He was late for a friend’s birthday party!

That’s what Dre told the officer who issued him a speeding ticket. Apparently (via the blog Straight From The A!) Georgia has “Super Speeder” law in effect and they don’t play that. The law will force violators to pay an additional $200 fine for driving at more than 85 miles an hour on highways and four-lane roads.

Dre was issued the ticket because he was viewed as putting other drivers in danger. I can see that going 109 in a 65 mph zone.

Oh well. He can afford the ticket.

IS RIHANNA COOPERATING WITH THE POLICE?


THE FACTS
FOX News and TMZ report different stories about Rihanna’s level of cooperation with the LA District Attorney’s office.

THE SPIN
There are conflicting reports as to whether or not Rihanna is cooperating with the prosecution in the Chris Brown case.

Fox News says sources tell them that Rihanna “wants the whole thing” to go away and isn’t helping the district attorney prepare his case against Beat Down Brown. Moreover, she’s apparently pissed off that her photo was leaked and that she was quickly identified as Chris Brown’s attack victim.

However, TMZ argues that these claims are bogus. Sandi Gibbons from the L.A. County D.A.’s office told them, “We deal with her attorney who says she is a cooperating victim.”

I don’t know who’s telling the truth, but for Rihanna’s sake I hope it’s TMZ. If it she’s seen as aiding her attacker, she’s sure to alienate many of the young women who make up her fan base.

YOUR SPIN: If you were RiRi, would you cooperate?  Tell us here.
