Chris Brown Disses Adrienne Bailon Again For Being ‘Childish’

getty

Chris Brown fueled the fire after Adrienne Bailon said some pretty judgmental things about his relationship with Karrueche Tran. A day after he went off on Adrienne, he took to Instagram to ‘reflect’ on his previous statements — check out what Chris had to say!

On November 4, Chris Brown, 25, posted a lengthy message on Instagram in response to the recent feud between him and Adrienne Bailon, 31. He made it very clear that his post wasn’t “an apology for yesterday…Just a reflection.” He started off his message by saying the talk show host “was childish” by dissing his relationship on TV.


Adrienne Baillon & Chris Brown Feud: He Reflects On The Nasty Comment He Made About Her

In the Instagram post (which you can see here), Chris says he realizes that he “could’ve have been politically correct” but he reacted the way he did because he is “not fake.” Read the full post bellow:


Yesterday’s roast was amusing to some and disrespectful to others. All in all the whole shit was childish. I could’ve have been politically correct and went about the situation more civilised but I’m not fake nor do I need to ever comment on anyone’s life. I felt the need to say what I felt. It seems everyone can always have an opinion on “CHRIS BROWN” and chime in whenever they want. The show was depicting relationships. They gave their views on my relationship by bashing my significant other for being with me publicly on national television. There are too many Pots calling the kettle black. I know that with me being a public figure and one of the best at what I do it’s more of a story to talk about. It comes with the territory. Like I said before, I say what I feel and what I want especially if anyone has an opinion about me and mine. Somedays I’ll be cool and then other days ima roast ya ass. So this isn’t an apology for yesterday. Just a reflection. People, live ya life, you’ll mess around and go blind looking at me all the time. #teambreezyaintwitthebullshit

UPDATE: Tamar Braxton responded to Chris’ rant. Then, Karrueche Tran slammed the talk show host. Plus, Rob Kardashian dissed his ex, Adrienne, and proved he’s on “Team Chris.”
Chris Brown Disses Adrienne Bailon After She Calls Him Out On ‘The Real’

In case you are a little lost, here is a recap of the feud that is currently unfolding between Adrienne Bailon and Chris Brown. On Nov. 3, the ladies of The Real discussed the topic of relationships.

Chris Brown’s relationship with Karrueche Tran, 26, was a controversial subject and Adrienne’s opinions on the matter really upset Chris. To see exactly what she said, watch this video of the segment:

After seeing the show, Chris was furious and shot back with a pretty offensive roast. “You ole trout mouth a** b***h,” he wrote about Adrienne on an Instagram post that has since been deleted. He even called her out for “keeping up with the Kardashians.”

The “reflection” we mentioned above was written a day after Chris’ rant where he called Adrienne a “trout mouth.” It looks like he had some time to cool off but something tells us this feud is far from over!

HollywoodLifers, do you think it was mature of Chris to post a “reflection” message following his offensive rant? Comment below!

Taylor Swift Abruptly Pulls Entire Catalog From Spotify

"There are reasons why you can sell 1 million units, but it's got nothing to do with not providing that album to Spotify," says one source

                                                            Kevin Winter/Getty
Taylor Swift performing at CBS Radio's We Can Survive concert in Los Angeles, California on October 24th, 2014. The singer pulled her entire catalog from Spotify.


Taylor Swift has never been the most enthusiastic supporter of free music — earlier this year, she wrote: "Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for." Her position turned more extreme Monday morning when, one week after releasing her new album 1989, Swift's label Big Machine Music abruptly yanked her entire catalog from Spotify.


A music-industry source says Big Machine made the decision last week without negotiating with Spotify, which offers a free desktop service and allows users to pay $5 or $10 a month to eliminate ads. The source suggests the label's potential sale has prompted founder Scott Borchetta to try to get "a pop on their sales" in order to maximize the company's value. "It came completely out of the blue," the source says. According to Billboard, 1989 is on track to sell more than 1 million copies in its first week.

But the source disagrees with Borchetta's logic: "There are reasons why you can sell 1 million units, but it's got nothing to do with not providing that album to Spotify. Every 15-year-old knows where to get that record, and it's not iTunes."

On Monday, Spotify issued a statement about Swift's decision, writing, "We love Taylor Swift, and our more than 40 million users love her even more – nearly 16 million of them have played her songs in the last 30 days, and she’s on over 19 million playlists.

"We hope she’ll change her mind and join us in building a new music economy that works for everyone. We believe fans should be able to listen to music wherever and whenever they want, and that artists have an absolute right to be paid for their work and protected from piracy. That’s why we pay nearly 70% of our revenue back to the music community."

The streaming service included two custom-designed playlists, including one that, when all the song's titles are laid out back-to-back, say, "Hey Taylor, we wanted to play your amazing love songs and they're not here right now. We want you back with us, and so do do do your fans."

Music sales have been dropping all year, as the record industry navigates a shift from selling downloads to offering music catalogs via streaming services such as Spotify, YouTube and Beats Music. Album sales are down 14 percent, according to Nielsen Soundscan, and track sales are down 13 percent, but paid subscriptions jumped 57 percent last year, the Recording Industry Association of America reported.

Some artists, including Radiohead's Thom Yorke, have complained vehemently about Spotify's business model, insisting they receive low royalty payments while fans get the music for free, but Spotify reps have insisted the money gets better as more users sign up to the service and pay for premium subscriptions.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Will Have a Zombie Mode

A shopper poses with the newest instalment of the "Call of Duty" videogame at a midnight launch of per-ordered copies of the game in Sydney on Nov. 3, 2014.Saeed Khan—AFP/Getty Images

But it isn't planned for launch

Until now, it was only a strong rumor that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare would include the zombie-killing mode that’s become a popular sideshow in the series since first appearing in Call of Duty: World at War.However, Activision is now confirming a Zombie Mode is in the works for the new title, to be available at some later date as paid downloadable content.

Activision confirmedAdvanced Warfare’s Zombie Mode after this email from GameStop was sent to people receiving updates on the game. However, the email was inaccurate in that Zombie Mode isn’t available for Monday’s Advanced Warfare launch and it won’t require players to get the $49.99 Season Pass to play Zombie Mode.

“This just in, Zombies are back as part of the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare season pass! Stop by any GameStop to pick up one of the most anticipated games to launch this year, along with 4-multiplayer map packs, Atlas Gorge, and yes – ZOBMIES,” read GameStop’s email. “All this is available for purchase today GameStop as part of the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare season pass for only $49.99.”

Previously leaked trailers for Advanced Warfare seemed to reveal the game’s zombies will be more 28 Days Later and less Dawn of the Dead in that they’re faster and they can jump, though little else is known at this point.

AeroMobil 3.0 unveiled: the 'most advanced flying car yet' will free us from 'traffic jam prison'

The car flies at 120mph and needs only a 50-metre strip of grass for landings


“Where’s my flying car?” is something of an informal motto among technology malcontents, annoyed that the science fiction of the 50s never materialized – but that funeral selfies did.

Well, there’s a solid answer to this question now: your flying car is in Vienna, but you’ll need a few hundred thousand euros, a personal airfield and a pilot’s licence to use it.

This is the AeroMobil 3.0, the third major prototype built by Slovakian company AeroMobil as part of an ongoing project that dates back to the mid-90s, but that has its roots in the totalitarian government of communist Czechoslovakia.

AeroMobil’s founders Stefan Klein and Juraj Vaculik grew up in the repressive state, and say that their quest to build a vehicle that can actually slip from the road into the sky was inspired by their dreams of Western, capitalist freedoms.

Now, the pair says they want to offer their own sort of freedom, liberating the world from “traffic jam prison” with the AeroMobil 3.0; a vehicle the size of a saloon car, with dangerous looking shark-like cockpit and stubby wings that flick back over the length of the vehicle.

The car itself can hits speeds of over 100 mph and clocks in at around 124 mph in the air. It’s capable of landing on just a 50-metre strip of grass (though it needs a longer, 250-metre runway for takeoff) and has flying range of 430 miles. Its creators insist it could “change personal transport on a global scale”.

But for all the amazing engineering and design work that’s gone into the Aeromobil, many are sceptical that flying cars will ever be anything but a novelty.

Klein and Vaculik point out that only 3 per cent of the world has paved roads and that the vehicle could be a boon to countries without infrastructure – but these countries aren’t likely to lots of citizens that can actually afford the AeroMobil, said to be priced ‘somewhere between a supercar and a small plane’.



Add to this the increased safety risks of flying a small plane compared to a car, the headaches of co-ordinating air traffic control and the difficulty in keeping the thing flightworthy throughout its lifespan and you have the perfect recipe for a boondoggle.

Sorry folks, the real answer to "Where's my flying car?" is: "it's here - but you shouldn't care."

The ‘father of Android’ leaves Google for new technology hardware startups

Andy Rubin, co-founder and ‘father’ of Android, has left Google to set up a startup incubator for technology hardware.

Rubin sold his Android company to Google in 2005, heading up its development until March 2013 when he moved to take the lead in Google’s “moonshot” robotics projects.

“I want to wish Andy all the best with what’s next,” Google chief executive Larry Page said in a statement. “With Android he created something truly remarkable – with a billion-plus happy users. Thank you.”

Professor James Kuffner, a researcher at Google and Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute, will replace Rubin in charge of Google’s robotics effort, which included a series of acquisitions of robotics companies including Boston Dynamics by Google in 2013. He spent five years working on Google’s self-driving car project and more than seven years at Carnegie Mellon.

Rubin’s new startup incubator will concentrate on new companies developing new technology hardware, rather than internet services.

Rubin left Apple in 1992 and went on to set up Danger, maker of the SideKick-branded smartphones later acquired by Microsoft, and Android in 2003. Google co-founders Page and Sergey Brin bought Android in 2005 without telling Eric Schmidt, then the chief executive of the search giant.

At Google as head of Android, Rubin was known for insulating the Android team from the rest of Google maintaining it like a separate company inside the search giant. The Android group had its own lunchroom within the Google campus, for instance.

His entrepreneurial spirit and love of robotics led him away from Android, and now to his new incubator, where he will help grow new technologies from a hardware perspective.

Iggy Azalea makes light of Snoop Dogg diss by dressing as ‘White Chicks’ character for Halloween

The ‘Fancy’ rapper dressed as a character from the 2004 comedy for Halloween on Friday. The costume choice was a direct response to Snoop Dogg, who had mocked her on Instagram by comparing her to the film's main characters.

@THENEWCLASSIC VIA INSTAGRAM‘Happy Halloween!’ Iggy Azalea (l.) wrote on Instagram Friday. She was dressed as Marlon Wayans’ character in ‘White Chicks.’

Iggy Azalea transformed Snoop Dogg's diss into an inspired Halloween costume.

The “Fancy” rapper dressed as Marlon Wayans’ character from the 2004 movie “White Chicks” on Friday, just a few weeks after the "Gin and Juice" rapper mocked her on Instagram by comparing her to the film's main characters.

“Happy Halloween!” Azalea captioned an Instagram photo of her and a friend dressed as the film's titular "white chicks."
