Bravo, Brantley Gilbert.
The singer, in association
with the Bendon company, has donated $10.5 million to the Marine
Corps' Toys for Tots program.
“Growing up in rural
Georgia, I know that sometimes Christmas isn’t a time of joy for
some kids,” Gilbert said. “Our contribution might be all they
receive this year, so I really wanted our donation to matter.”
Gilbert is currently on a
holiday break and returns to the road for The Blackout Tour in late
January.

“I love what he says, I have to admit... I really like him... He
can be president and not owe anybody anything. He’s one of the few
people that has the money to do it and has the guts to do it.”

The Game has pleaded
not guilty to a felony charge of making criminal threats and a
misdemeanor assault and battery after an altercation with an off duty
police officer during a basketball game earlier this year.
The rapper, whose real
name is Jayceon Taylor, entered the plea yesterday in an LA
courtroom.
The officer testified
earlier this month that Taylor had threatened to kill him after
punching him during the game.
The judge ruled there was
sufficient evidence for Taylor to stand trial on the charges, but no
trial date was set.
Shameless self-promotion
#1: Don't forget to join us this weekend for another face-rocking
edition of Saturday Night Karaoke, live and loud at The Iron Horse
Tavern from 10pm-1am.
R. Kelly walked out of a Twitter Q&A with
fans after just 20 minutes during a live video interview with
Huffington Post Monday.
Kelly, who was trying to
promote his new album, Buffet, said that a “lack of support” and
computer downloads have led to poor sales of the album.
Host Caroline
Modarressy-Tehrani then asked whether a lack of support for R. Kelly
the person versus R. Kelly the artist might have something to do with
the history of sex crime allegations against him, and Kelly got
testy.
“I didn't come here for
negative. I came here for positive,” he answered. “I don't give
people that's negative towards me the time of day ... When you start
getting negativity coming at you, you pretty much don't wanna hear
that crap. Especially if it was, what, I don't know how many years
ago. So what I'm gonna tell you is that I am going to sit here and
talk gonna talk to you like the beautiful lady you are and I'm gonna
talk to you with respect but I'm gonna let you know that any other
negative things come at me out of your mouth, as far as negativity,
I'm gonna get up and walk out and I'm gonna go to McDonald's.
Hopefully, the McRib is out and I'm going to go home to Chicago, play
me some basketball, go to the studio and work on my next album.”
When Modarressy-Tehrani
pressed, Kelly made good on his word. There's no confirmation to the
rumor that he peed on something on the way out.
