    Singer Chris Brown will serve an additional 131 days in jail after admitting to violating his probation, the BBC reports.

    The R&B star admitted to a court in Los Angeles on Friday that he committed a crime in Washington DC last October.

    The Los Angeles judge sentenced Brown to 365 days but gave him credit for 234 days he has spent in rehabilitation and jail.

    The Grammy winner has been in custody since March, when he was arrested over alleged violations of his rehabilitation sentence.

    His latest probation violation relates to an altercation in the nation’s capital last year.

    Brown faces a misdemeanour assault charge after a man accused the singer of punching him outside a Washington hotel.

    Rihanna, Eminem to perform at MTV Movie Awards

    A few hours to this year’s edition of the MTV Movie Awards, the organisers have announced global superstars, Eminem and Rihanna, as the top performers.

    The duo will take the stage for the first live performance of their number one smash hit, The Monster, at the awards ceremony, which holds at the Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater live today.

    In 2009, Eminem performed a medley of We Made You/ Crack a Bottle and then created one of the most-talked about moments in the movie awards history with Sasha Baron Cohen. But Rihanna had earlier performed one of her signature hits, Umbrella, with Jay Z in 2007.

    Other moments to look out for at the ceremony include additional performances by 21 one pilots, who will be performing their new single, Car Radio, and Ellie Goulding & Zedd, performing excerpts from the Divergent soundtrack. There will also be presentation of the MTV Generation Award to Mark Wahlberg by his fellow Entourage cast members, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrara and Kevin Dillon- the first public reunion for the cast ahead of their highly anticipated movie release in June 2015.

    This year, the MTV Movie Awards has the distinction of being the only awards show to nominate cinematic legend, Robert De Niro, Kanye West and Joan Rivers in the same category (Best Cameo). Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto take on Ice Cube and Kevin Hart (Best On-Screen Duo) while Jennifer Aniston is pitted against Zac Efron, Chris Hemsworth, Leonardo DiCaprio and Sam Claflin for the coveted Best Shirtless Performance category.

    Again, 12 Years a Slave is up with a nomination in the Movie of The Year category, going against American Hustle, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Wolf of Wall Street.

    Orezi returns from South Africa with Rihanna

    HIP hop artiste Orezi returned from South Africa last week where he went on a nationwide tour. The artiste also took the opportunity to shoot the video of his song, Rihanna.

    On his return, the singer narrated his experience, especially how he was able to get a Rihanna look-alike from Mauritius after a rigorous effort to get the American singing star did not work out due to her busy schedule.

    “We had a wonderful time in South Africa. It was truly a rewarding experience and a most educative one for me as a very young artiste. At the end, we came with something that the world will talk about for a long time, the video for the all hit song, Rihanna,” Orezi said.

    When all efforts to get the American super diva Rihanna to feature in the multi-million naira video did not work out, he explained that his management team as well as his label, Sprisal Records, went online to shop for a Rihanna look-alike. The search finally paid off when a Rihanna sent in her entry from Mauritius. “This young, beautiful ‘Rihanna’ named Kim was chosen above over 200 pictures.”

    Orezi also took time out to clear the air on the issue of which record label he is signed on: “I am signed on to Sprisal Records and the deal is good. I have a boss that is like an elder brother who listens,” he added.

Speaking in South Africa, the artiste expressed shock at the success of Rihanna, saying: “I am glad that South Africans and Nigerians resident here accepted my music and they have showed me so much love that I am overwhelmed. I never knew that Rihanna is an anthem here like it is in Nigeria, for that I give glory to God and my management companies, Sprisal Records and Synergy Entertainment.”

    Orezi said that his best hands are currently working on the video of Rihanna, just to ensure that it is as acceptable is not better than the song version. “This is planning and coordination at its best. The state-of-the-art equipment being used on the video, the precision, timing… is out of this world! Nigerians are going to see a video that will redefine music videos in Nigeria going forward,” the hip hop star said.

Why Daddy Showkey? When the song comes out, you will know the reason why. International collaborations are a good thing, most especially when it is the right song. It gives African music the international face it surely deserves.” He maintained.
