Chris Brown's Journey To Washed Up Celebrity Status!

If you're trying your best at being a famed R&B/rapper/pop star, what on earth is this young man doing?

Is Chris Brown trying to be the famed pop star?

Nah. He's trying to be the bad boy of music!

Nearly three years ago, Chris Brown assaulted his former girlfriend, now pop rival Rihanna. He was sentenced to community service and anger management therapy.

This didn't work for him. Seeing he's a borderline felon, he and rapper Drake get into a heated argument in which bottle flew across a New York nightclub injuring models and NBA star Tony Parker.

Brown, Drake (Aubrey Graham) and rapper Meek Mill denies ever starting the fight that lead to mulitple injuries. It's almost a shame that hip-hop music is marred with controversy. Besides the sexism, violence, drug themes, homophobia, and reckless spending by these entertainers, many of the suburban youth are buying into it.

Brown is at the verge of being look upon as a washed up celebrity. Although he still maintains himself as a successful musician and entertainer, the 6'3" entertainer enters his 23rd birthday being a blonde version of washed up celebrity Sisqo of Dru Hill.

The Huffington Post's gossip and Mediaite's Gossip Cop acknowledges a tattoo on the neck of the entertainer. Many feel that it's a picture of Rihanna. Brown's representatives deny this. But the talk of the nation is what's the entertainer plans are now since the MTV Music Awards. See the photo of the kiss. Rihanna not only gets her butt grabbed by newcomer rapper A$AP Rocky but now the kiss from Brown.

A big one on his former girl. Chris Brown and Rihanna are marred with controversy.

The tat, which the "Don't Wake Me Up" singer debuted on Sept. 1, features a line-drawing of a woman's face half-embellished by flora and fauna-esque things. The whole thing looks more like "Avatar" than RiRi, to be honest, but we guess if we squint our eyes reeaaally hard, love can be found in a hopeless place. Or something like that. For the record: Brown's rep told GossipCop that his new ink “is not Rihanna.”

Rihanna is born Robin Fentry. She is a Barbados born entertainer who rose to fame as signed artist on Def Jam to release her debut album Music Of The Sun. So far five albums and world tours made her one the top sellers of the year.

Rihanna contributes her success as not only a famed pop singer, but an R & B and reggae singer. She is also marred with controversy over her appearances and her reckless behavior.


The pair embraced and went in for a quick lip smack as Rihanna, 24, left the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, after accepting the award for Video of the Year for her song “We Found Love.”


Footage verifying the lip lock prompted speculation there is truth to rumors about the couple’s rekindled romance, despite Brown’s relationship with model Karreuche Tran.

Rihanna called Brown, “the love of her life” in an emotional interview with Oprah Winfrey revealed last month.

“We love each other and we probably always will, and that’s not anything that we’re going to try to change,” she said.

Dead Beat Congressman Knocks Sandra Fluke!

Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) makes light of the Sandra Fluke controversy. He knocks her for making an appearance at the Democratic National Convention.

Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) never ceases to amaze me. He and a portion of the Republican House members are so far in the extreme, they don't even care who they attack. They're not concerned about the repercussions of their harsh words. They are welcomed with open arms with groups such as the John Birch Society, the National Rifle Association, The Heritage Foundation, Brotherhood Of A New Destiny (BOND), VDare and Family Research Council.

The Republicans are knee toed to radical extremists. They dog whistle the angry White male who is likely to cause a mass shooting in a town somewhere. And of course, Walsh, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri), Congressman Allen West (R-Florida), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and even vice presidential nominee Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) pander to the most asinine human beings to ever exist in this country.

Women's rights activist Sandra Fluke

Sandra Fluke, the featured speaker at the Democratic National Convention is once again a target of conservative ire. The Tea Party endorsed candidate for reelection is trying to win a seat that's competitive.

Republicans are trying to eliminate the negativity.

Congresswoman Bachmann, Congressman West and of course Congressman Walsh are going to be written off based on how the redistricting kind of put them in heavier Democratic districts.

Fluke was attacked by Rush Limbaugh, Monica Crowley and Bill O'Reilly based on her advocacy for birth control being paid by private companies.

Fluke is engaged to her boyfriend and is a legal assistance attorney.

Walsh is a first term Congressman who won in 2010. Marred with controversy, Walsh has said themes that come off as extreme. He recently settled his legal woes with his former wife and mother of his children. He was ordered to pay $110,000 in child support. Also Citizens for Responsible and Ethics in Washington (CREW) calls Walsh one of the most corrupt politicians to be elected to office.

Walsh speaks at a gathering in Addison, Illinois. He knocks Fluke for being an "entittled" 31 years old college student. He told her to "get a job" and "stop taking from those hardworking Americans!"

This buffoon criticized Black voters for their overwhelming support for President Barack Obama over former governor and perennial candidate Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee.

I'm Staying On The Ballot (For Now)!

Pressuring Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri) to drop his bid for U.S. Senate.

Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri) is under fire. With good reason. He just opened up a huge distraction. Over the past weekend, the congressman went on a local television program and stated that women can deny legitimate rape.

“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.

Those comments let up a firestorm. Akin went on the serial conservative agitator Sean Hannity radio program to apologize. He bailed out on Piers Morgan and got a huge tongue lashing from the host. And even went forth to put a web video telling the public that he's sorry for what he's said.



The Missouri Republicans are not buying it. The Republicans want his sorry ass out of the race!

In a mere two weeks you see the implosion of a U.S. Senate candidate. Congressman Akin's bid for the U.S. Senate go up in flames. It's so bad, the Republican Senatorial Committee and state leaders are demanding that Akin step aside. They ceased fundraising. CBS anchor Norah O'Donnell stated that $10 million dollars was stopped after this controversy.

Again, they want him to get out the race! Akin so far is defiant.

According to the Associated Press, if the congressman doesn't concede his nomination by the end of the day, he'll be on the ballot and it's going to be a likely federal court dispute.

While it's likely he'll resign either from Congress or give up his nomination bid, the damage is done.

The Republicans let the grips of victory slip from their grasp. They launched the culture war and this has finally taken a toll.

Breathe easy! Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) is now the frontrunner.  Embattled senator could win reelection.

Another native Missourian had let his loose lips sink his radio endorsements and ratings. Yet, he's managed to strive in this controversy and managed to pull in a few new listeners. That commentator went off on a Georgetown law student and called her a "slut" and wanted to see "her make a sex tape". He caught the attention of President Barack Obama who offered comfortable words to this private citizen. This private citizen became the public voice of women's rights. That Missourian is Rush Limbaugh and the woman is Sandra Fluke. This controversy was this year.

Congressman Todd Akin really effed up! He made it easier for his opponent Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri). President Barack Obama and Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) will rile up women votes by tying Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and running mate Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) to the extreme views of Akin and likely Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa).

This is an ongoing issue. This controversy was discussed by me and LeReyna. I believe this will be the turning point for the Democratic Party. This controversy will eventually die off! But as of right now, if the Democrats and President Barack Obama outline the gridlock in Congress and issues such as this controversy, they'll have a better chance at winning.

We here at Journal de la Reyna will cover this controversy.

Did GOP Congressman Sink His Senate Bid?

Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri) is under fire for comments about rape victims. The comments gave Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) an opening.  

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) is the most vulnerable member of the U.S. Senate. Her state highly disapproves of her and President Barack Obama. A major swing state, it's trending more redder. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) carried the state by just a point. The Republican candidates who are running for the U.S. Senate are hoping the bad economy and President Barack Obama's job approval could be the ticket to reclaiming the Senate.

Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri) won the Missouri GOP primary and will be the one running against McCaskill.

Akin is a Republican member of Congress since 2001. His district covers the suburban St. Louis County.

Akin won a bitterly fought primary against two other candidates, one rival being endorsed by Tea Party maven former governor Sarah Palin. Akin wasn't endorsed by Palin, but managed to win over Missouri Republicans.

Akin who is a pro-lifer said something over the weekend that may have gave a struggling McCaskill the break she needed.

Republicans emboldened by the culture wars have finally taken its toll. Akin being a representative of the culture war, said something inappropriate about rape victims and the media has zeroed in on it!



According to Talking Points Memo, a progressive blog, his opposition to abortion rights even in case of rape with a claim that victims of “legitimate rape” have unnamed biological defenses that prevent pregnancy.

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) has distanced herself from President Barack Obama. She is facing a tougher reelection this year.

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in an interview posted Sunday. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Akin said that even in the worst-case scenario — when the supposed natural protections against unwanted pregnancy fail — abortion should still not be a legal option for the rape victim.

“Let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work, or something,” Akin said. “I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”


A 1996 study by the American Journal of Obstetricians and Gynecologists found “rape-related pregnancy occurs with significant frequency” and is “a cause of many unwanted pregnancies” — an estimated “32,101 pregnancies result from rape each year.”

In a tweet, McCaskill said she was “stunned” by Akin’s comments.

After the interview caused a firestorm, Akin said in a statement that he “misspoke.”

Akin is perhaps the boldest among a crop of conservative 2012 nominees who could hamper GOP efforts to take back the Senate in the fall. Akin has called for an end to the school-lunch program and a total ban on the morning-after pill.

His claim about “legitimate” types of rape is not completely foreign to the current Republican Congress, however. In 2011, the House GOP was forced to drop language from a bill that would have limited federal help to pay for an abortion to only victims of “forcible rape.” Akin was a co-sponsor on the bill.

Nor is this Akin’s first time suggesting some types of rape are more worthy of protections than others. As a state legislator, Akin voted in 1991 for an anti-marital-rape law, but only after questioning whether it might be misused “in a real messy divorce as a tool and a legal weapon to beat up on the husband,” according to a May 1 article that year in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
