Wendy, let me help you out. You do realize that the NAACP was founded by a mix of folks who were Black and white… If you actually bothered to read something, you would realize that... When you’re on TV, and you have no idea what you’re talking about, shut the hell up."(Photo: Rob Kim/Getty Images for ColorOfChange)

Maxwell shares the differences between him and Chris Brown: - “We’re trying to be rappers now. I’m a big Chris Brown fan — I know all his records.

I’m lucky that most of what I’ve done holds up for a 55-year-old. You want it to sound like you don’t really know when it came out.”(Photo: Mark Sagliocco/FilmMagic)
