Rise 'n' Shine: Did Jay-Z Yank Chris Brown's BET Awards Performance?

•  Chris Brown is supposedly peeved not to have performed at the BET Awards Sunday, and all kinds of rumors are swirling about why that was. Some are claiming his participation in the Michael Jackson-tribute-centric show wouldn't have been in good taste following his drama with Rihanna. Others think the plug may have been pulled on Brown's performance at Jay-Z's behest. Either way, both BET and the "No Air" singer's publicists claim the star was never confirmed to be on the show.

•  As if you didn't see this coming. Michael Jackson is the new Tupac Shakur, complete with his own live sightings website.

•  Little did you know that Jackie Kennedy-Onassis was quite the cartoonist. Check out her sketches of JFK on the campaign trail!

•  Joan Jett made Kristen Stewart cry.

•  You thought you couldn't afford to get Kim Kardashian's latest looks, but you were wrong!

•  Dear Jon & Kate Gosselin: Thank you. Seriously. Love, Rise 'n' Shine

If you haven't seen the cuteness of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's new twins in the Big Picture gallery, you might want to take a look. They're a sweet break from all the Jackson madness.
