Chris BrownChris Brown allegedly threw his bodyguard off a plane.

The controversial R&B star abandoned his long-time bodyguard Big Pat in Bermuda after a pit stop on the Caribbean island on Wednesday because the pair got into a fight on board.

An airport worker explained to The Bermuda Sun, "I'm not sure of the details of what happened on the plane but his plane came in, got services and everything was finishing and they were getting ready to leave. Then there was a stall. The security guard [Big Pat] got off first. He was standing outside talking to the pilot. Then Chris Brown and another guy came off. They had to come inside to Customs. They then went outside to have a cigarette. The security guard came inside [an airport building] and said he wasn't getting back on the plane."

The bodyguard told the staff member he had an "altercation" with Chris. Big Pat was forced to take a Jet Blue commercial flight to New York City's JFK Airport after the furious "Don't Wake Me Up" singer jetted off in his private plane.

Chris Brown, Rihanna, and DrakeDrake was denied entry to a nightclub because of Chris Brown.

The "Problem Solver" rapper - who is counter-suing the 23-year-old R&B star over a nightclub brawl in June - was turned away from Playhouse in Hollywood on Wednesday night because Chris was already inside celebrating fashion brand Popular Demand's anniversary party. A source told gossip website TMZ.com that bouncers denied Drake entry around midnight because they wanted to avoid any violence or possible incidents. The insider said the 26-year-old star reacted politely and left without any issues.

The singer, the rapper and their entourages were involved in a fracas at New York's W.i.P club, in June, in which several innocent bystanders were hurt and after French model Romain Julien filed lawsuits against them for his injuries, they are attempting to blame each other. Both claim they were not responsible for the fight and want the other to pay any damages if the model wins his suit. The fight is thought to have been caused by Rihanna, who has dated both of them.

Chris Brown and Rihanna at the GrammysRihanna doesn't care what people think of her relationship with Chris Brown.

The "We Found Love" singer recently rekindled her romance with the "Don't Wake Me Up" hitmaker, even though he is still on probation for beating her up in 2009, and Rihanna plans to ignore those who disapprove. "Rihanna doesn't care what nobody says or the whispers from people . She's just like, 'F**k it babe, just be you and I'll be me and together we're us.' People are always trying to judge because she is with Chris but like she said, it ain't nobody's business," a source said.

Rihanna, 24, recently explained that although she knew people wouldn't approve of her decision, she is happier than ever with 23-year-old Chris: "I wanted him to know what it felt like to lose me. To feel the consequences of that. So when that (stuff) came back it hit me like a ton of bricks. Like, God, you've got to be kidding right now. But I got real with myself, and I just couldn't bury the way I felt. I decided it was more important for me to be happy, and I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."

Chris Brown’s Ex Won’t Confront Rihanna

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups

Chris Brown and Rihanna last monthChris Brown's ex-girlfriend thinks it would be "too much" to discuss her love triangle face-to-face with Rihanna.

The "Turn Up The Music" singer's former flame Karrueche Tran - who he has recently been spotted hanging out with again despite rekindling his on-again/off-again romance with the 24-year-old "Stay" singer - has admitted she would only sit down to discuss their mutual feelings from Chris if she was forced to.

Asked what she would say if she was given the chance to talk to both the 23-year-old R&B singer and Rihanna, the 24-year-old model told Vibe magazine, "For everybody, emotionally, that would just be way too much. I'm a very mature person so if the time ever did come where we would need to sit down and talk, I'd do it. I'm a mature person. I can work it out but that would be a lot. [Pause] Yeah, it would be a lot."

Karrueche's comments come just days after she was spotted partying in the same nightclub in Los Angeles as her love rival on Sunday. Chris was not present at the venue, but his relationship with his model-ex has attracted fresh speculation recently after she joined him at his clothing line launch in Long Beach on Saturday while Rihanna was enjoying a short trip to Ireland.
