Which is a day that Chris Brown jams, having discovered the viral hit video “Friday” by Rebecca Black.
On the 99.5 Kane Show, host Kane shared the video with Brown who had never seen it.
As PopEater jokes, apparently “the only person who had yet to see this week’s viral phenomenon.”
The video is by a 13-year-old singer and was created by Ark Music Factory.
The Sammi and Ronnie situation quickly dissipates. And it was looking like the end (again) last week...
Meanwhile, for comic relief, Deena found a box to play with. No, not like that. An actual cardboard box, you pervs. Also, Snooki likes to punt s***. Vinny and Snooki seem to be getting along again. Vin says his relationship with Snooki is a rollercoaster ride, which is to say that there are lots of ups and downs, and there's a possibility that it might make him throw up.
As we reported a few weeks ago, rumors have been rampant about Kevin Costner being cast for a role in the latest Superman installment "Superman: Man of Steel," though little was known about which role he would land.
Now we know the "Field of Dreams" star will be returning to his rural roots.
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Costner has signed on to play Superman’s adoptive father.
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has beef with ‘Glee’.
Grohl, former Nirvana drummer, told the Hollywood Reporter that the show is “not his thing” and neither is creator Ryan Murphy.
“The ‘Glee’ guy, what a f**king jerk,” he said, also adding that he supports musicians like Kings of Leon who decline to have their music on the show.
There has been a lot of talk lately about the lack of women in comedy, especially on late-night TV. So the idea of a comedy movie written by a woman, directed by a woman, and starring women is a welcome thought. How does a female version of "The Hangover" sound?
Writer Ellen Rapoport ("The Jamie Kennedy Experiment") penned "Desperados," which follows three women who must make a trip to Las Vegas to "set right a situation that had one of the women leaving a scathing message for a man she actually likes.

While a handful of celebrities have been called out for making fun of the disaster situation in Japan (read: 50 Cent and Gilbert Gottfried), other celebs are using their star power to make a difference.
Sandra Bullock joined the cause Thursday, as the Red Cross reports she donated $1 million to help victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Some celebrities are getting creative.
It looks like his breakout role in "Kick-Ass" - you know, from nearly a year ago - is starting to pay off. Though not anybody's idea of an Oscar reel, the independent comic book adaptation put his name out there for all to see, and who knows, maybe someone saw "Nowhere Boy" as a result.
