Looks like Great Britain is not ready to let Chris Brown off the hook. The 21-year-old singer was all set to do a small concert tour in Great Britain but unfortunately they weren’t feeling the love. Instead of embracing the singer, they denied Brown entry into the UK.

Officials confirmed to BBC News that Brown’s visa application was scuttled: “We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offense. Public safety is one of our primary concerns.”

After being sentenced to communtiy service for the assault of ex girlfriend Rihanna, Brown is being forced to cancel atleast six shows. His tour promoter is has also confirmed that the tour has been canceled “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

“U ever feel like the storm clouds are too thick for any sunshine to get through?” Tweeted Brown on Monday

Wow! When is this going to end? What about Chris Brown’s UK fans? Is it really fair to punish them for something that Chris Brown did. Why not just make him pay or fee or something. How long are they really going to rub his mistakes in his face. Let this man move on with his life…he is only 21! How is going to move on and become a better person if people keep throwing this stuff at him.

By now we’ve all heard about the terrible earthquake that totally devastated Port-au-Prince (Haiti’s capital) and its surrounding areas on Tuesday.  What nobody knows for sure yet is just how devastated this nation will be after all is said and done.

As of yesterday 1,500 bodies were piled up outside of Port-au-Prince’s General Hospital and more are turning up by the hour.  While official numbers are impossible to confirm at this time, predictions that over 50,000 Haitians lost their lives in this disaster prove just how awful this tragedy is.  Not only that, but another three million citizens are now homeless and desperate for food and shelter.

As for the US, President Obama says the US will give $100m to aid the relief efforts in the impoverished country as well as sending rescue teams to the Caribbean island.

China, Spain, France and Great Britain are all using their resources as well in an attempt to alleviate as much of the burden that the country is already facing.

Haiti has endured several hurricanes in recent years, but many feel that this is the worst disaster the nation has ever experienced.  We will keep you posted as new updates are released.  Until then, be thankful for what you have and do not take anything for granted.
