Police say Brown robbed, but rapper denies it
Rapper Foxy Brown - who's on probation for an assault charge and facing a battery charge in another case - had another brush with violence over the weekend. But this time, she was the victim, police said.
Four people teamed up to rob the racy rapper of a Louis Vuitton bag, $500 in cash and credit cards around 5:30 a.m. Saturday at Crescent Street and Stanley Avenue in the East New York section of Brooklyn, police said. Roshawn Anthony, 23, was arrested on robbery charges in the incident, police said.
But Brown told the New York Post that the robbery never happened, and she hadn't been at the location police gave, near a public housing complex.
“A lot of the time, people mistake me for someone else, or people always call in these false tips,” Brown said.
Hyde Pierce helps campaign against Alzheimer's
David Hyde Pierce is helping start a campaign against Alzheimer's disease, which he saw two family members suffer from.
“I think the hardest thing in both cases, with my grandfather and with my dad, were the moments when they understood what was happening to them,” Pierce said on ABC's “This Week” program in a segment that aired Sunday. “It's a disease that takes your brain apart, a piece at a time. And it doesn't stop till it kills you.”
The longtime “Frasier” co-star said the Alzheimer's Association's Champions campaign aims to recruit one American for every person with Alzheimer's. A Web site lets people sign up for events, make donations and buy T-shirts. More than 5 million people in the U.S. live with the disease, according to the association.
John Lennon's sons are on speaking terms
Half brothers Julian and Sean Lennon have begun speaking to each other again. Their reconciliation follows Julian's eight-year feud with Sean and Sean's mother, Yoko Ono, the widow of the men's father, Beatle John Lennon, the New York Post reported in Sunday's editions.
The rift stemmed from comments Julian made about Yoko Ono, he told the Post. Julian's mother is John's first wife, Cynthia.
“I thought it time to make big changes in my own life,” Julian, 44, told the Post in what the paper said was his first interview since 1999. “Part of that has been to get Sean back into my life, because I love him so much.”
After contacting Sean's tour manager this year, Julian surprised his half brother backstage after a show in Prague. “We just hugged and held each other,” Julian recalled.
Julian joined Sean, 31, on the tour bus, sleeping on the floor and traveling through Croatia and Slovenia, he said.
