Between Glee's histrionics, bed-hopping, lanky blonde villains, dumb jock heroes, and under-developed black female characters, it already seemed a little like Melrose Place. (Original Melrose, at least.) Now, even more so: Thomas Calabro — Michael Mancini! — has been cast as Puck's dad. According to TV Line, Calabro will appear in an episode in April. Glee's had a few parent-centric stories this season, with Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes as Rachel's dads, and Gloria Estefan set to play Santana's mom in an upcoming episode. We would have guessed Heather Locklear would be the Melrose-Glee nexus, but live and learn.

Chris Brown recently posted proof that he had completed a year-long domestic violence course as part of his sentence for assaulting Rihanna. But despite getting glowing reviews from the judge in his case, Brown proved this week that he can still get a bit hot under the collar when it comes to certain subjects.
According to reports, on Wednesday, the "Deuces" singer got charged up when former B2K singer Raz-b tweeted a comment critical of Brown. After posting a dozen messages declaring his admiration of Rihanna, he wrote of her ex, "I'm just sittin here thinking how can n---as like [Eric Benet] and [Chris Brown] disrespect women as intelligent as Halle Berry, Rihanna."
Brown quickly shot back, tweeting, "N---a you want attention! Grow up n---a!!! Di-- in da booty ass lil boy.

"Yesterday was an unfortunate lack in judgment sparked by public Twitter attacks from Raz-b, who was bent on getting attention," Brown said of the virtual feud.
