The “Run It” singer – who pleaded guilty to assaulting former girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year – has announced plans to perform at a series of small venues in a return to music.

“BOUT TO START A SMALL TOUR SOON.. 15 TO 20 DATES.. MY FAN APPRECIATION TOUR. just for yall.nothin bigger than 4,ooo seaters (sic),” the 20-year-old musician wrote on his Twitter webpage.

It’s a bad day for Good Hair. Chris Rock’s groundbreaking documentary on the history of the African-American hair care industry and the lengths some people of color go to change the texture of their hair is at the center of a $5 million lawsuit from a woman who alleges the funnyman ripped the idea off from her.

According to the lawsuit filed by Regina Kimbell in United States District Court, Central District of California, Kimbell claims Rock’s new film is very similar to her own film, My Nappy Roots: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage. Kimbell has filed a suit at Los Angeles’ District Court claiming the inspiration behind Rock’s Good Hair film came from a documentary she made in 2005, which she showed the comic on the set of his now-defunct TV series Everybody Hates Chris in 2007.

Kimbell is suing Rock for copyright infringement, unfair competition and fraud, and deceit.

Good Hair opens in theaters Friday.

Oprah Winfrey has addressed her recent controversy with disgraced R&B crooner Chris Brown.

The singer, who pleaded guilty to one count of assault over beating Rihanna in the early hours of February 8, and was sentenced to community labor and domestic counseling, recently suggested the talk show host could have been more supportive of him following the incident.

“I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This (abuse) is a problem’, but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, ‘OK, I’m going to help both of these people out,” Chris told PEOPLE last week. Read the rest of this entry »
