ROUNDUP: TYRESE SAYS “SCANDAL” TAKING A TOLL ON CHRIS / TERRY CREWS TAKES 50 CENT’S SPOT / METHOD MAN OWES SOME TAXES

Actor Tyrese Gibson recently caught up with People Magazine and spoke to them about how Chris Brown is doing amid his media scandal with girlfriend Rihanna. He said it’s taking it’s toll on the young stars:

Although he appears to be really strong through all of this, it’s really taking a toll on his spirit. People like me and Puff, we’re just trying to show him love and keep his spirits up while he’s going through all of the heat, and there are a lot people doing the same for Rihanna.

It’s really hard for him to focus right now on his music, even though he really wants to. At the end of the day, I’m not trying to justify it because wrong is wrong, but unfortunately, us as entertainers, we have to grow up on stage with a lot of people looking at us. And a lot of people forget that he’s 19, she’s only 21. [SOURCE]

Chris is expected to appear back in court on April 6th to finish his arraignment appearance, after being granted an continuance earlier this month.

Wonder if 50 will put out a diss song about it?
