Chris Brown is reportedly throwing himself a piss party after he was pulled from Sunday night's BET awards last minute; though it's not clear why he was even invited to perform in the first place. Apparently we have Rev. Al Sharpton and Jay-Z to thank for this, who both felt it would be in, how do you say, poor taste?

“Al made such a fuss to the BET executives that they pulled Chris,” says our insider, who adds that Jay-Z also had a hand in the decision. “Jay is a big name in the BET community, and he was very vocal about his displeasure with Chris attending the ceremony. He didn’t want Chris anywhere near the awards so close to the court’s ruling.”

Brown isn’t taking the public dis on the chin, either. “He’s furious,” a pal of the singer tells us. “BET asked him to perform and waited until the last minute to tell him it was off. He’s pretty shocked and outraged right now.” (Source)

Just to clarify, the "shock and outrage" that Chris Brown feels isn't the akin to the shock and outrage a nation feels after a beloved pop singer is brutally assaulted, but the kind of shock and outrage a 5-year-old boy feels when he's sent to his room. Oh, and I also should have mentioned that the 5-year-old boy got sent to his room because he punched his sister in the face.
