Chris Brown and pal Quincy Combs had a charity football game over the weekend, and at the end of the event, the boys and their famous friends got the hundreds of fans and participants to raise their hands as a peaceful (but somewhat noisy) protest over the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Missouri native Nelly, along with Brown, The Game, Trey Songz, Wale and Lil Mama put their arms in the air and posed for photos while the crowd cheered them on.
Nelly tweeted, "all for protest and rally's were solution are strategically place for future Not for looting.That's what they want to justify there moves," and earlier today The Game Instagrammed a photo of a cop macing a young African-American girl and wrote, "President Obama.... What if this was one of your daughters ??? #SpreadThisPost #Ferguson #2014Racism…"
And they weren't the only ones who had something to say about the events Ferguson. On Saturday Russell Simmons went to dinner in Beverly Hills, and when we caught up with the music mogul, and he told our X17 videographer, "A community should not have 50 white cops and 3 black cops in a 65% black community. The reason that happened is because the lack of communication between police and community -- so we should do police sensitivity training." When asked about Wall Street Journal editorial board member Jason Riley criticizing Al Sharpton, Simmons responds, "It's Al Sharpton's job to create awareness about injustice."

This isn't her best look!
Kim Kardashian shared some Instagram pics of herself in a variety of provocative outfits sporting cornrows over the weekend, but thank goodness this hairstyle was just temporary for her new HYPE Energy drink campaign.
This isn't the first time Kimmy K has sported braids, and we're sure it won't be the last, but we hope it is! The reality star looks much better with long flowing locks. We wonder what Kanye thinks of this hairstyle?

Halle Berry proudly propped up her baby boy Maceo, on Sunday, as she made her way to the Malibu Country Mart with some friends.
It's significant because it's the FIRST TIME the 48-year-old mom-of-two has shown off her adorable son in public.
The move comes amid recent reports she and French hubby Olivier Martinez are having marital trouble. "The whole family was supposed to go on a make-or-break holiday, but that fell apart because neither Olivier nor Halle wanted to make it happen. They have drifted apart and only get together for the sake of Maceo. They’re just delaying the inevitable - announcing their split," a source reportedly told
OK Magazine.
Berry just celebrated her birthday last Thursday and strangely, no photos emerged of a happy couple enjoying a romantic meal in Beverly Hills -- no luxe vacation in the Caribbean, no sign of Olivier jewelry shopping ahead of the big day. So what gives? Is Halle on her way to becoming a single mom?
Poll
Are Halle and Olivier headed for divorce?

Ben Affleck flew home from Detroit to celebrate his 42nd birthday with the wifey and kids ... and low and behold, he found Jennifer Garner was pregnant! Just kidding ... not really ...
Could it be that even though Ben's out of town working on
Batman, he somehow knocked up Jen? Or is it that she's
not pregnant? Or is it that someone else ...
Kidding again ...
The happy couple celebrated Ben's big day with daughters Violet and Seraphina and son Samuel and stepped out in the morning to grab a coffee (probably decaf for Jen) and then Ben gassed up the ol' Chevy.
There's just something about a hot guy, and a hot car ... we just
MELT. Can you image how many girls must throw themselves at Ben? It must be
SO difficult to stay faithful!

Chris Brown and pal Quincy Combs hosted a star-studded flag football charity game on Saturday, and while Chris was quite animated on the field, it was what he was doing off the field that caught our attention. Yup, that's on-again/off-again girlfriend Karrueche Tran giggling in his arms! And it must be serious again, because Chris posted a photo of them together on Instagram shortly after that...
The couple reportedly split two weeks ago after Chris liked two Instagram fan photos of ex-girlfriend Rihanna, and when Chris took one of Karrueche's friends with him to St. Tropez, she was so pissed she deleted his phone number, according to
TMZ. Guess she found a way to forgive him!
A portion of the proceeds from yesterday's event are going to Brown's Symphonic Love charity, which supports and creates art programs for youth. Kendall and rapper The Game were among the celebs in attendance, and the two supported Brown's Black Pyramid team. Kendall hung with pal Shamari Maurice, but she was also spotted with a skinny mystery man AND another guy with several face tattoos. Way to make the rounds, girl:

Kourtney Kardashian jetted back in to Los Angeles last night with her two kids, and bright and early on Sunday morning we spotted the pregnant reality TV starlet grabbing breakfast to go at a local coffee shop. She wore yet another oversized button-down shirt, but she glammed up her outfit a little bit with a pair of silky green shorts and gladiator sandals. Her comfy maternity style is still way better than what sister Kim wears most days of the weel...
While Kourtney is home in Calabasas with the kids, Scott Disick and Khloe Kardashian hosted an event at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut this afternoon. But when's
he coming home?

Rumer Willis celebrated her 26th birthday on Saturday, and we're not sure what dad Bruce Willis got her, but mom Demi Moore gifted her with an expertly crafted gun cake, and it seems like the ladies spent some time together.
Rumer posted a photo of the dangerous-looking dessert and wrote, "Best birthday cake ever. Thank you mama for making this day [so] special." We're not sure if it tasted as good as it looked, but it's the thought that counts! Rumer has a pricey black purse with a pistol embossed on it, and last April she posed with a gun for a sexy photo shoot with pal Tyler Shields, so she certainly has an appreciation for firearms.
Prior to that, Willis posted a selfie and wrote, "I want to say thank you to everyone who helped me get here … I thank you all because I would not be the woman I am today without all of you. I can't wait to see what adventures await me."
