You said what about Chris Brown?

Dude, the things famous people are saying about the Chris Brown situation are bananas. (Sorry Rachel Zoe, I meant…cantaloupe!)

Ok, so the next time Kanye West rant about being Jesus' first born son or that his music can make blind people see again I'm going to take it with a grain of salt. Apparently he has a penchant for hyperbole -- why didn't we just chalk his ridiculous hissy fits up to that before? -- that, or he can't hear himself.

"Rihanna is so important to our culture ... to pop music," said West. "I feel like she is the most important artist in music and has the most potential. Her taste level and her age ... she has the potential to be the greatest artist of all time."

Really? Better than Marilyn McCoo, better than JJ Fad, better than Bananarama Kanye? Surely you jest.

T.I. retracted his statement -- "I told him, 'This too shall pass.' We're celebrities, we're entertainers, but we're still human — all of us," he said. "Don't expect us not to make mistakes, because we will." -- to the smarter, more neutral: "I made the mistake of commenting before understanding the situation," the statement read. "I myself am no stranger to media scrutiny. My only intention was to support both Rihanna and Chris during these times. My heart goes out to both of them.

Professional buffoon Soulja Boy -- why do people even give this fool a platform anymore? -- says  "I hope everything works out with my homeboy Chris.. I was just with him the night before the incident talking about his new album and just kickin it. I hope everything works out for the best! Chris hold it down homie, you know how the media gets!!”

I know how we get too. I wish we could get rid of you.

The most dead wrong has proven to be -- surprise -- your boy Terrence Howard/Black Hannibal Lector. Mr. (Baby) Wipe Me Down, whose koo-koo we have chronicled here previously, says, "Chris is a great guy. He'll be all right. And Rihanna knows he loves her."

Dude, what? I guess we shouldn't be surprised that BHL rushes to defend the alleged batterer -- and worse, perpetuate the tragic cycle of making the victim of abuse feel sympathy for the very person that attacked her, yuck -- because he's already admitting to stalking his ex-wife. Paging Dr. Crazy...come get your boy, PLEASE.

Guys, it's like mom used to say: if you don't have anything not stupid to say, please don't say anything at all.
