  • Tyson Beckford, Chris Brown, Karrueche Tran: Love Triangle Amidst Some Fighting Words?

    Tyson Beckford got Chris Brown all heated up by posting a photo of himself with Brown’s purported ex, Karrueche Tran. From there some heated words escalated via social media, leading some to wonder if a love triangle might be in play.

    It wouldn’t be the first time Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown were involved in a triangle of this sort. With Rihanna as the third angle, the trio waged numerous wars on social media.

    The ‘Fine China’ singer Tweeted some nasty remarks to Tyson Beckford after he posted the shot of himself with Karrueche.

    “Saturday with @Karrueche #vegas #palms #blasian,” Tyson Beckford captioned his Instagram post.

    Chris Brown has deleted all of the comments he Tweeted in response to Tyson Beckford posting this photo with Karrueche Tran.

    Beckford reacted to Chris Brown’s threats this way:

    A source tells E! News that there’s no real issue between Tyson Beckford and Chris Brown, and that there’s nothing going on between Tyson Beckford and Karrueche Tran. She was reportedly going to Vegas to watch him perform in a Chippendale’s show.

    Now fans can decide for themselves whether an E! News report or Chris Brown and Tyson Beckford’s tweets speak louder.

    Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran split up back in March when she learned he had fathered a child with another woman.

  • Tyson Beckford Makes Major Oscar Red Carpet Flub

    It’s safe to assume that most people would agree that we’re living in a celebrity obsessed culture these days, and a lot of us tend to hang on to every word a movie star or singer says.

    Plus, we’ll make sure we know everything about that celebrity, in terms of who they’re dating, where they’re living and what projects they have coming out next.

    So when someone doesn’t know a celebrity’s name or mispronounces it, it immediately gets attention, especially if that person is a reporter covering a red carpet event.

    Although Tyson Beckford is a model and not a reporter, he signed on to give fashion critiques on the red carpet of the Oscars last night, and although he did a good job for the most part he had one major flub. He called Julia Roberts “Jessica Roberts,” and right away folks jumped on to Twitter to call him out.

    “My. How times have changed,” one person Tweeted. “Tyson Beckford called Julia Roberts “Jessica Roberts.” Big mistake. Big. Huge.”

    However, some might say it was just an honest mistake, because Jessica Biel’s photo appeared on the screen next to Roberts, so it might of thrown Beckford off. But yet and still, people took the time to let him have it, and some almost seemed happy they were able to jump on their Twitter accounts to say mean things.

    As of now, Beckford hasn’t made any sort of apology for the flub, as there’s a good chance that ABC just wanted the moment to pass without making a big deal about it, because in actuality, it’s not a big deal. Truthfully, what should be getting more attention is how people are so eager to call out somebody’s mistake, as if they don’t make any mistakes themselves.

    Remember, we’re all living in the era of outrage, where even messing up somebody’s name causes folks to be offended. It’s just the way of the world these days, I guess, and I don’t see things changing any time soon.

  • Robin Roberts to Host ‘Red Carpet Live’

    Robin Roberts has signed on to help host ABC’s pre-Oscars red carpet show, Red Carpet Live.

    Roberts joins a star-studded cast that includes her Good Morning America co-host Lara Spencer, editorial director of People and Entertainment Weekly Jess Cagle, and model Tyson Beckford.

    Roberts battled and beat breast cancer about five years ago, but has recently fought with another sickness – MDS or myelodysplastic syndrome. Caused by the treatment of her breast cancer, MDS is a blood and bone marrow disease that is also known as preleukemia.

    The host underwent a bone marrow transplant, in which her sister Sally Ann was the donor. The host is now healthy and ready to host the pre-Oscar show for the fifth time.

    She also recently revealed that she is gay, and in a long-term relationship with a woman.
