Chris Brown bans his friends from bringing random women to his home

  Chris Brown lives in his LA mansion with two of his best friends who until recently can throw parties, bring in women and do whatever they want. But Chris Brown has now put a stop to it following his recent arrest for allegedly pulling a gun on a girl at his home. Read the TMZ report after the cut...
  Chris Brown is done hosting frat house parties ... blaming his male friends and thirsty chicks for his recent arrest. Our Chris sources tell us he's now enforcing a strict guest policy at his Calabasas mansion -- and letting everyone in his crew know he's as serious as death ... no more randoms allowed. We told he's pulling back on parties for starters, but there's this problem with his 2 roommates/best friends.                             
They now have to submit a guest list to Chris IN WRITING, and they must describe who they are with sufficient details so he can decide whether he wants them in his home. We're told he also is imposing another strict policy ... guests are prohibited from bringing drugs or alcohol. The only booze and drugs allowed are his.

Chris Brown Responds to Report That Claims He Refused to Stand for National Anthem

Chris Brown, like many others, has shown his support for Colin Kaepernick and his decision to kneel during the National Anthem. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the 27-year-old R&B singer commended the quarterback for his stance as well as being an example for the rest of the country. But has Brown taken his support one step further by joining in on the protests? According to TMZ, the answer is yes.

 On Sunday, the publication accused Brown of refusing to stand during the National Anthem in a charity basketball game on 9/11. In the video above, Tank is encouraging everyone to join him in singing the National Anthem. "I understand everybody is exercising their right to stand or to sit. And to exercise my right to freedom of justice," he says. "But in the wake of 9/11, please understand and respect the fact that real men, women, and children lost their lives for this very thing we are able to stand for today. For this very place that we’re in, for this interaction, for this moment."

The camera pans to Brown who is seen sitting down through Tank's rendition until someone helps him up. It's important to note that Brown was actually enjoying Tank's singing, even nodding his head at a couple of moments. Brown's gesture could be interpreted in many ways, depending on who you'd ask.

 Brown doesn't exactly have the best relationship with TMZ, and proceeded to call them out on Instagram. In a move similar to when he blasted TMZ for their story titled "Chris Brown Settles Beef...Over Gay Pride Gig," he posted a screenshot of the story and wrote "Stay classy!"

 Fans were visibly upset after watching the video on TMZ. Is Brown in the center of another controversy?

Woman who accused Chris Brown of pointing gun at her denies ‘romantic feelings’ for singer amid claims that paint her as obsessive kleptomaniac

The woman alleging Chris Brown pointed a gun at her Tuesday is denying a claim she’s been infatuated with the singer for years.
“Never been obsessed with him,” Baylee Curran told the Daily News in a text message Thursday.
“Never romantic feelings!” she claimed.
The 24-year-old model was responding to allegations by former friend Angel Monroe that Curran has been fixated on the singer as far back as the Billboard Music Awards in 2012, when the two women met him on the red carpet.

“She was obsessed with Chris Brown,” Monroe, a model and musician, told The News Thursday. “She had met him before at a party. She always had a thing for him."
An old Twitter post from a day before the awards show suggests Curran was angling to spend time with the Grammy winner.
“Hope to run into you,” Curran tweeted at Brown on May 19, 2012.
 “Congrats!! And good seeing you today even if just for a sec:) see you tonight,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet to him a day later.

Curran told The News the Billboard meeting wasn't her first with Brown. She described it as "nice to see an old acquaintance again."
It was around 3 a.m. Tuesday that Curran called 911 and told Los Angeles police Brown threatened her with a gun inside his Tarzana mansion.
Curran claimed she was admiring a diamond cross necklace displayed by a jeweler inside Brown's house when the "Kiss Kiss" singer whipped out the firearm and yelled at her to get out.
Police searched Brown’s residence later that day and arrested him on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon.
 He posted $250,000 bail and has a court date set for Sept. 20.

"Chris is out and well. The allegations against him are demonstrably false," Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos said in a Twitter statement late Tuesday.
Geragos told the Los Angeles Times that during the search of Brown's home, the LAPD did not find any firearms or the jewelry described by Curran.
"It has become apparent that the allegations are not just false but fabricated," Geragos said.

Meanwhile, Monroe told Complex she too doubted Curran's claims against Brown.
The fellow model and former roommate said she believed Curran stole multiple diamond rings from her when they lived together.
"Once things went missing, I told Baylee to leave and pack up and get the F out," Monroe told Complex.

She said Curran called the cops on her in response and threatened to tell police she tried to assault her.
As The News first reported Wednesday, another former roommate said in a court filing in October 2013 that Curran falsely accused him of threatening her life and slamming her against a wall.
Princeton Roseborough filed the paperwork after Curran got an emergency restraining order against him by alleging the aspiring personal trainer threw her against the wall and threatened to hire a hit man to kill her.
Roseborough denied her claims in a sworn statement to the court and a judge dismissed the case a couple weeks later when Curran was a no-show at a hearing.

"I had a similar situation as Chris Brown. Long story short, I had a girl over and they got in a fight and (Curran) swung and I caught her hit. I told her no fighting in the house because it was somebody else's place," Roseborough told The News.
"Yeah, she's crazy," he said of Curran. "She likes to start trouble with people to get money out of them. She has her crazy spurts."

Yet another former friend has come forward and accused Curran of taking part in a robbery of her wallet from Manhattan's Plaza Hotel in 2013.
Rachel Getachew said she first met Curran at a pool party several years ago and thought she was a "super sweet girl."
When Curran invited her on an all-expenses paid trip to New York in October 2013, she thought it was "a little sketchy" but figured Curran was simply friends with someone wealthy and generous.
"Immediately it was clear he was her sugar daddy," Getachew said Wednesday of Phil Vasyli, the now deceased footwear mogul who met them in New York.

Getachew said Vasyli was "actually a really sweet guy" but she was "weirded out" by the group dynamic during their first meeting over dinner at STK, so she went back to her room after about 45 minutes.
Curran and pal Julia Parle continued to party and spent the night in Vasyli's room, she said.

Getachew said the next day she met Curran and Parle at the St. Regis spa and got a 30-minute foot massage while the other two women got their hair done.
"When I come back out, Julia walked up to me and said, 'Well you need to pay for this.' I didn't have an issue paying, but I said I was going to talk to Phil first. She said, 'You're not going to talk to anyone,'" Getachew recalled.
Getachew said she made a comment questioning Parle and Curran's relationship with Vasyli, and Parle physically attacked her.
Hotel staff broke up the fight, but Parle and Curran later stormed Getachew's room and grabbed her black Louis Vuitton bag and ran out, Getachew claimed.

"I immediately dialed security, and (a staffer) came up to comfort me," she said. “I said two girls left holding a black bag and they should stop them because they just robbed me.”
After about 10 minutes, a security guard returned with the bag, but it was empty, she said.

"They gave him some BS excuse. Meanwhile, they kept all my stuff," she said.
Getachew filed a police report, had her parents buy her a plane ticket home and used the NYPD paperwork as her ID at the airport, she said.
She said Curran and Parle later harassed her back home in LA. The pair contacted mutual friends and said they were collecting donations because Getachew had cancer, Getachew claims.
"People were texting me saying, 'She's collecting money for your cancer. Why didn't you tell me?'" Getachew said. "She collected like $700, I believe, in two days."

Getachew described Curran as "hungry for fame."
"That's why I stayed away,” Getachew said. “I'm not saying Chris Brown is innocent, but something must have happened. She has been blacklisted by a lot of people because she's robbed and scammed people."

Country Newcomer Kane Brown Talks New Single,Touring with Florida Georgia Line

 RCA recording artist Kane Brown spent most of his childhood on the move. The singer, who has just released a new single, “Thunder In The Rain,” says that family economics dictated those moves.
“Growing up, we really didn’t have a lot of money,” he recalled to Billboard. “It was hard finding places to stay, and a lot of time my friends would take me in, and I would just go to that high school. I went to a lot of elementary schools growing up, maybe as many as I did high schools.”
Once he hit his high school years, however, he became a “Trojan,” as a member of Soddy Daisy High School in Tennessee. He said he has plenty of memories of life on the football field – including his first play from scrimmage.

“In the first game I ever played in high school, I had a pick-six for a touchdown,” he recalled with a laugh. “That was a fun memory.” When asked about his favorite teams, he mentioned the Carolina Panthers in the NFL and Georgia and Kansas State on a collegiate level.
His school path took him to Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School, located just over the state line in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. It was there he would share the choir stage with Lauren Alaina, another rising talent with stars in her eyes. Brown says he knew the future American Idol star was going far.
“We were friends before we were in choir. I used to date her best friend. Then, we had choir together," he said. "We always hung out, and talked about doing a duet together in choir, but we never thought we’d be doing this. I had a feeling that Lauren would because she would sing all the time – even if she was in the car, she’d sing over the radio. You’d have to tell her to shut up,” he added with a laugh.

In 2014, Brown began to post video clips of himself performing hits from Brantley Gilbert, Alan Jackson, and Billy Currington. His video of George Strait’s “Check Yes Or No” netted over seven million views. The attention he received prompted him to push for a career as a musician. “I guess I knew I wanted to pursue it after my first couple of videos went viral. I started seeing all the likes and the shares. As well as the reactions, and I started to think ‘Maybe, I could actually do this for a job.’ I was working my butt off at both Fed Ex and Target, and only making $7.25 [an hour]. I knew I couldn’t do this. So, I decided I was going to try the music thing, and run with it, and hopefully, I can make it,” he said humbly.
He said learning the viral game has been an education, but one that he has enjoyed immensely. “I honestly got lucky with people starting to like the first video, when it went viral, and people started following me. I just kept posting, and really was just trying to keep people’s interest," he said.
The strategy of promoting himself on Facebook was more complicated than he imagined. “Instead of getting people to like stuff, what you really want to do is get them to share it. It creates a lot more followers," he said. "On my posts, I would tell people ‘If you like this, give it a share.’ If you go online and look at my videos, you might see where I have 80,000 likes, but 525,000 shares. That’s where you gain more people as followers coming in. It took me a second to learn it all, but now that I have, it’s been a blessing and a curse.

Brown’s fans helped the singer record a six-song EP entitled Closer, which he released last summer. Without any major radio airplay, the project landed in the Top 30 of the Billboard Country Albums chart. In turn, Randy Goodman and Sony Music Nashville were impressed, offering Brown a contract in early 2016. His first release for the label is Chapter 1. When asked how it feels to be on the same label as acts like Waylon Jennings, Kenny Chesney and Keith Whitley, the newcomer didn’t miss a beat. “It feels awesome. I was singing in my bathroom, and thought that was as far as I was going to get. To be called by a major label, I thought they were pranking me,” he said sheepishly.
The singer is wrapping up a run with Florida Georgia Line before he begins headlining his own Ain’t No Stopping Us Now tour, scheduled to beginning in November. “I’m super excited, partly because I’ve got Jordan Rager out with me, and I feel like he’s going to bring some fans out, too. I feel like it’s going to be really fun. I’m also looking forward to getting to add a lot of the songs off of the album into the concert rotation, so it should be a blast.”
What has he learned from FGL's Brian and Tyler on the “Dig Your Roots” tour? He says a lot. “I’m really learning how to work the crowd, and talk to them, tell them stories between songs," he said. "I’m also learning to play to the back of the crowd in arenas. When you do that, you’ve got to remember to play for those that are at our back instead of just at your feet. The people at the back are sometimes your biggest fans, they just might not have the money to be up front. They’ve also taught me how to stay humble, because of them bring humble guys. Between them, the Cadillac Three, and Cole Swindell, it’s all been an awesome experience.”
Brown hopes fans will gravitate toward the new single, saying, “I found the line in a magazine, and thought it was a really cool title. I took it in, and we started brainstorming. I came up with the idea to just talk about two unstoppable forces in a relationship, and how nothing would come between them.”
The singer said he's trying to grow as an artist all the way around – including as a songwriter. “It’s been neat to find out different writing strategies,” he said. I’ve been in the room with so many different writers. Sometimes, you write with tracks, and other times, with acoustic guitars. That’s been really a cool thing, because it brings out different lyrics with you. I know that sounds weird, but it brings out different emotions, and you have all the different writers.”
He's still proud of his early efforts, because back it was all for the love of the music – before sold-out tours and EP’s. “It’s been a lot of fun, because before I was just writing with my friends," he said. "None of us had a publishing deal. We just all wanted to write. That’s been a huge difference for me in the whole writing process.”
