Chris Tucker has disappointed many a fan during his appearance a few days ago on The Tom Joyner Morning Show.
The “A” list comedian/actor hit up Joyner’s morning radio show last Friday and denied he’ll be participating in “Last Friday,” the highly anticipated final “Friday” sequel.
In earlier reports, Ice Cube hinted that Chris was on board, although he admitted that nothing was final until Chris showed up on set.

Sultry songstress Rihanna was the next popular person on Oprah‘s to-do list for her “Next Chapter” series, which aired last night (August 19, 2012) on The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).

Rihanna spoke of her loves for abusive ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, although she never admitted that the two are still seeing each other in secret.
