Chris Henry (1983 – 2009) of the Cincinnati Bengals (#15) Dies After Truck Accident

Today at 9:06am

Football player Chris Henry, a wide receiver on NFL team the Cincinnati Bengals, died early this morning following a horrible incident with a pickup truck Wednesday afternoon (Dec 16).

When authorities arrived to the scene, the football player was in the middle of the road suffering from life threatening injuries to his head after falling out of a pickup truck his fiancee Loleina Tonga was driving. He was immediately sent to a local hospital where he passed away around 6:30 AM Thursday morning (Dec 17).

Henry, who hasn’t played for the Bengals since November due to an injury, reportedly jumped into the back of a moving pickup truck in a desperate attempt to stop his fiancee from leaving some sort of “domestic situation” at her parents’ North Carolina home. Tonga was questioned at the scene and was released. She was never taken into police custody and according to people on the scene, she had no visible injuries.

Authorities are still investigating the situation, including the possibility that Chris was thrown from the truck due to Loleina swerving back and forth.

Chris Brown’s Graffiti Opens at #7 Due to Poor Album Sales + Chart Info on Susan Boyle, Gucci Mane and More!

Today at 8:39am

Poor album sales has caused Chris Brown’s third studio album Graffiti to open at a disappointing #7 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. Additionally, the 20-year-old entertainer’s release only sold an even more disappointing 102,000 copies which is about half of what it was predicted to sell a few days before its release. His last two albums, Exclusive and his self-titled debut sold 294k copies and 154k respectively. Exclusive debuted at #4 on the charts while Chris Brown opened at #2. To this date Chris has never had an album debut at #1.

One artist who hasn’t been having a hard time selling artists recently is “Britain’s Got Talent” runner-up Susan Boyle, whose album titled I Dreamed a Dream sold an impressive 582,000 copies in its third week, rounding the total number of albums sold to nearly 2 million in less than a month! The album has also been sitting in the #1 position since its initial release.

Imprisoned rapper Gucci Mane’s sophomore album The State vs. Radric Davis moved 90,000 units putting it at the #10 position while Justin Bieber’s My World moved 97,000 units putting it at #8. Continue reading for the full top 10!

Diddy Shows Off His Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds in New York City

Yesterday at 8:24pm

As if the one who lives and breathes weren’t enough! (no shade)

Sean “Diddy” Combs unveiled his wax figure Tuesday (Dec 15) at Madame Tussauds in New York City. The hip-hop mogul invited his mother Janice, his sister, his nephew and his son to witness the unveiling of Sean Combs 2.0.

“I wanna thank my mother, she was the originator of the wax figure,” he said with a grin. It’s hard to explain looking at yourself like this,” he continued. “They did an excellent job.” Maybe too good — Combs said the statue is so lifelike it was a little “scary — scary in a good way.”

Diddy said he’d had to stand still for three hours in front of the sculpting team while they captured his likeness. He chose to go with how he looks now as opposed to going with one of the many looks that he’s rocked throughout his career.

“I went with the most recent likeness of myself,” he said. “They wanted to do me live, how I was. It wasn’t like I could give them an old shot. What you see is what you get. This is the first time I’m seeing it. It’s to my liking. It looks very realistic — one of the more realistic ones.”
