Chris Brown Having A Hard Time Getting Over Karreuche
Chris Brown and ex-girl- friend, Karrueche Tran.
Chris Brown has been working arduously (some- times maybe too much) to rekindle with ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran. With the announcement of his upcom- ing headlining tour, One Hell of a Nite, the Grammy-win- ning singer called in to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" on Tuesday (June 9), and he spoke about his situation with Karrueche amongst other things.
"I'm going to be honest and be a man about it and just take it one day at a time," Brown says about mending his relationship with KT. "I can’t promise anything, and I can’t jump over the moon, but it takes time for all wounds. I take full responsibility for my actions and things that I've done in the past. I feel like it's just a time thing."
Last week, Brown made an attempt to rekindle with the model turned actress at Playhouse nightclub in Holly- wood, and things got com- pletely out of control. Brown got a V.I.P. table next to Kar- rueche's; he followed her after she left abruptly and got into her SUV, and he showed up at her house, which launched a huge argument.
Although KT wants noth- ing to do with Brown, he ad- mits he still loves her.
"I'm not a hateful person. Of course, I still love her, but mentally right now, I think everything takes time," he says. "I just need to focus on being the best father I can be."
As previously reported, KT dumped Brown after he fathered a baby girl with an- other woman.

Jaden Smith’s New Role Is In Netflix Series
It’s Official: Raven-Symone Is A ‘The View’ Co-Host
He has a background in music, making him a perfect fit for the role.
Jaden Smith, 16, has hopped on board Baz Luhrmann's upcoming Netflix musical drama, The Get Down.
The rapper-turned-actor will be playing Marcus 'Dizzee' Kipling, a 'psyche- delically talented and enig- matic graffiti writer' from the Bronx.
In a statement, Luhrmann told Entertain- ment Weekly: 'Recently, Jaden has been seeking di- verse and challenging roles and this is a testament to his passion to grow in the craft.
Jaden Smith plays a tal- ented graffiti artist.
'In the short time he has joined our acting family, he has begun developing his The Get Down skill set, even taking lessons from the leg- endary graffiti artist Lady Pink of Wild Style fame, as well as steeping himself in the history and culture of the Bronx.'
Raven-Symoné is the new co-host of “The View.”
The news, which was an- nounced Wednesday, comes as no surprise given the buzz surrounding her recent run on the daytime talker.
ABC was desperate to sign the star back in April.
“The Disney Company has made another one of my dreams come true,” the 29- year-old star said in a state- ment. “Being part of the ‘The View’ family will be a won- derful growing experience for me.”
Raven-Symoné says the cast and crew, including fel- low co-hosts Whoopi Gold- berg, Nicolle Wallace and Rosie Perez, are “warm and
RAVEN-SYMONE
welcoming.”
The news of Raven-
Symoné’s appointment comes four months after Rosie O’Donnell quit the show for numerous reasons.
“The View” has been plagued by rocky ratings and alleged drama backstage since the show began its 18th season back in Septem- ber.

Self-made hip-hop mogul Master P (b. Percy Miller) and his family are coming to the REELZ network this fall.
Master P’s Family Em- pire is a reality series that will follow the New Orleans-bred businessman as he juggles du- ties as a single father, giving tough love to his five kids (25- year-old Romeo, 22-year-old Veno, 18-year-old Cym- phonique, 12-year old- Hercy, and 9-year-old Mercy) as he runs his multi- ple businesses.
Stan E. Hubbard, CEO of REELZ, said in a press re- lease “Master P is a true American success story, rising
from the most humble of be- ginnings to the top of the en- tertainment world completely on his own,” said Stan E. Hubbard, CEO of REELZ. “The Miller family’s infec- tious chemistry, genuine love for each other and commit- ment to working hard and fol- lowing their father’s rules makes them as relatable as they are entertaining.”
Tune in on November 28th for the premiere. I'm thinking this should be good and wholesome, somewhere along the lines of Run’s House or Snoop Dogg’s short-lived E! Network reality show Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood.
