Lawyer: No guns, drugs found in Brown’s house

LOS ANGELES

Police did not find guns or drugs during a search of singer Chris Brown’s mansion before his arrest on allegations he threatened a model at gunpoint, his lawyer said Friday.

Attorney Mark Geragos said he was present during the search and police did not find evidence to corroborate the accuser’s story, including a specific piece of jewelry that she said triggered the incident.

Wilmore hopeful for another chance after cancellation

NEW YORK

Larry Wilmore says the cancellation of his late-night Comedy Central talk show was like being in a relationship, but “you were the one who didn’t know it was over.”

Wilmore told Stephen Colbert on CBS’ “Late Show” Thursday that he’s “very disappointed” in Comedy Central’s decision last month to abruptly end the “Nightly Show” because he thought the program would last through the presidential election. Wilmore adds that he’s hopeful he “can do something like” the show again.

Wilmore replaced “The Colbert Report” in the 11:30 p.m. slot on Comedy Central ahead of Colbert’s move to CBS last year. Thursday’s “Late Show” opened with Wilmore coming out to deliver the monologue, quipping to Colbert that he thought “whoever leaves 11:30 at Comedy Central just gets the ‘Late Show.’”
