Chris Brown Rejects Karrueche Tran's Restraining Order
Chris Brown is still refusing to accept the restraining order ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran has against him. A judge granted her a temporary restraining order last month after Tran, 28, claimed in sworn documents the singer hit her while they were together several years ago and had told people "if he couldn't have her, no one could." She also claimed he threatened to kill her.
In order to get a permanent restraining order, she would have to take Brown, 27, to court. According to New York Daily News, the singer's lawyer told Tran's lawyers that he is not allowing the law firm to accept the paperwork. The conversation took place outside of a courtroom in Santa Monica, CA in the morning on Wednesday, March 29. Due to the refusal, the hearing has been postponed until Wednesday, April 19.
The model tried to get help with law enforcement in order to serve her ex-boyfriend, but was unsuccessful. She has hired a private company to serve him.
The two began dating in 2011 and had been on and off again before calling it quits in 2015 after news broke Brown had a child, Royalty, with Nia Guzman while they were together.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Defends the Special Olympics on Facebook
Earlier today on Facebook, former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger stood up to an internet troll that had something negative to say about the Special Olympics. He's been a supporter of the event for years and even lead the event in South Africa in 2001 to reach out to thousands of athletes to join the event. Eunice Kennedy Shriver, his ex mother-in-law, founded the inspiring program in 1968.
The bully decided to make an offensive comment on the Total Recall actor's Facebook page on a post about the event. "The Special Olympics make no sense. The Olympics are for the best athletes in the entire world to compete against each other to determine who is the best. Having retards competing is doing the opposite!" Here's what the 69 year-old actor had to say.
"As stupid and as evil as this comment is, I'm not going to delete it or ban you (yet) because it's a teachable moment. You have two possible paths ahead. Right now, I guarantee you that these athletes have more courage, compassion, brains, skill- actually more of every positive human quality than you. So take their path- you could learn from them, and try to challenge yourself, to give back, to add something from the world. Or you can stay on your path, and keep being a sad, pitiful, jealous internet troll who adds nothing to the world but mocks anyone who does out of small-minded jealousy. I know what you really want is attention, so let me be clear; if you choose to keep going this way, no one will ever remember you. "

Alec Baldwin's President Trump Impersonations May Be Short-Lived
Saturday Night Live may lose an act.
Alec Baldwin may end his President Donald Trump impersonations. The actor has been doing the hilarious act since October last year. Although SNL has had it's best ratings in six years because of it, the president isn't finding the humor in it. Trump has made tweets about the show.
"Just tried watching Saturday Night Live- unwatchable. Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad."
The Boss Baby actor told Mario Lopez on Extra, Monday, March 6, that he thought once Trump became president he would relax, but that isn't the case. "Trump just overwhelmingly lacks any sportsmanship, he remains bitter and angry, and you just want to look at him and go, 'You won!'"
Baldwin, went on, "His policies aside, which you can hate, I thought he would have just relaxed. The maliciousness of this White House has people worried... that's why I'm not going to do it much longer, the impersonation, I don't know how much more people can take it."
The 58 year-old actor also cleared up the rumor that he would be hosting the White House Correspondence Dinner by saying he isn't attending it. "If Trump himself doesn't come and face the music, as it were, I don't know what kind of program they're going to have."

Adele Is A Newlywed!
Private weddings seem to be a trend.
Adele is a married woman now. The British singer said "I do" to long-time beau Simon Konecki. During her acceptance speech, last month, for her Grammy Award for Album of the Year 25, the songstress referred to Konecki, 42, as her husband.
However, at a concert in Brisbane, Australia on Sunday March 5, she confirmed it. The 28 year-old singer was talking about her 2011 hit song "Someone Like You" when she made the announcement.
"I was trying to remember how it was I felt at the beginning of the relationship that inspired that record because as bad as a break up can be, as bitter and horrible and messy as it can be, that feeling when you first fall for someone is the best feeling on earth, and I am addicted to that feeling.
The "Rolling in the Deep" singer then added, "Obviously I can't go through with those feelings because I'm married now." No further details about the nuptials were given.
The newlyweds have been together since 2011 and share four year-old son, Angelo, together.

Tyrese Gibson Announces He's a Married Man
No invite?
Tyrese Gibson is no longer available. The "Sweet Lady" singer posted a heartfelt video on Instagram on Tuesday evening of wedding photos. "On Valentine's Day February 14 We Said Yes!" The video played to country singer Brian Courtney Wilson's song "I'll Just Say Yes."
The caption for the video read as, "Mark 10:8 And the two will become #OneFlesh | -Mr & Mrs Gibson........ #MyBlackQueen #GrownManSeason."
Although the ceremony took place in secret, Gibson intentions on getting married were not. During an interview with ABC News last month on January 28, the 38 year-old actor said that he was looking for a wife. "I'm nothing until I find my wife." He added, "Nobody wants to be alone. Look that's going to change soon. I believe it."
He was photographed with his new bride on December 17 last year at the 33rd annual UNCF Mayor's Masked Ball in Atlanta, Georgia. Her identity hasn't been revealed but as Mrs. Gibson.
This isn't the actor's first time down the aisle. He was married to Norma Gibson from 2007-2009 and shares 8 year-old daughter Shayla with her.
The video ends with a request from the newly weds. "The best way to express your love towards this blessed union is to keep us covered in prayer."
