According to  (AdAge.com) -- The owners of Uptown magazine, including former Vibe Group Publisher Leonard Burnett Jr., are said to be near a deal to acquire the Vibe brand from CapitalSource, the major debt holder at Vibe when Wicks Group announced its shutdown in June.

Wicks Group paid about $35 million, with financing from CapitalSource, to buy Vibe in 2006. And since the magazine's shutdown, executives close to the matter said, CapitalSource has been trying to recoup some of the unrecovered debt by accepting offers from potential buyers.

A spokesman for CapitalSource didn't respond to voicemails and e-mails seeking comment. Wicks Group declined to comment. A spokeswoman for Uptown declined to comment.

It's unclear what Uptown has planned for Vibe if the deal goes through, whether Vibe will return to print and how often it will publish, for example, or whether it will return as an online-only brand.

In any case, however, Vibe's resurrection would be welcome news not only for its fans but for the magazine industry, which has said goodbye to many titles as recession exacerbated the challenges posed by a changing media business.

A Los Angeles judge postponed sentencing singer Chris Brown on Wednesday, saying she wants documents guaranteeing he’ll do…

… roadside cleanup or other hard labor for beating up Rihanna. Judge Patricia Schnegg told the R&B star that she doesn’t want him doing easy community service but rather 1,400 hours of “community labor” for smacking around his ex-girlfriend. “I do not favor community service,” said Schnegg, explaining that she wants to see Brown, 20, outdoors picking up trash or cleaning up graffiti.

Brown pleaded guilty June 22 to assaulting Rihanna, 21, after they left a pre-Grammy gala in Los Angeles on Feb. 8. Instead of jail time, Brown plea bargained for five years’ probation, 180 days of community labor and 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling. Schnegg agreed to allow the “Forever” and “Kiss Kiss” recording artist to do his community labor in Virginia, where he lives. The judge told Brown she was delaying his sentencing to Aug. 27 because she had yet to receive documents from the State of Virginia specifying the type of community labor he’ll be assigned. (Bossip)
