  • Hope for Haiti reaches beyond record to raise $57m+

    SPL149540_005

    The Hope for Haiti telethon reached over and above disaster relief records to raise a staggering $57 million – and counting.

    The blockbuster tally emerged over the weekend following the star-studded call-a-thon put together at the 11th hour by George Clooney and Wyclef Jean and held on Friday.

    Stars such as Rihanna, Bono, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson and Madonna gave stirring performances, while countless others, including Mel Gibson, Meg Ryan, Jennifer Aniston, Ellen DeGeneres, Stevie Wonder and Cindy Crawford, manned the phones.

    Clooney, who emerged in a goatee and plain sweater, said: “At the core of every religion is the belief that we care for one another, we take care of each other especially in times of need. The Haitian people need our help, they need to know they’re not alone, they need to know we still care.”

    Lisa Paulsen, head of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, said the event has set a record for disaster relief telethons.

    Broadcast from New York, Los Angeles, London and Haiti, it was beamed around the world by all the big US TV networks and streamed via YouTube and other internet channels with the aim of reaching into 640 million households. Recordings of the event were instantly available on iTunes and other music sites.

  • Chris Brown gets probation and community service

    It seems that Chris Brown’s fate has been decided a lot faster than expected and it is as follows: the singer will get five years of probation and one hundred and eighty days of community service after reaching a plea bargain in his recent hearing. His attorney stated: “He’s very thankful to all the people who’ve been very supportive. This is a kid who’s never been in trouble before, who wants to move past this and make sure that the message gets out that these kinds of things, of domestic violence, are not acceptable. And that he has accepted responsibility and continues to do so and embraces this as an opportunity for him to get his life back on track and his career back on track.” Chris Brown has not been in trouble before this? What kind of a rapper is he anyway? Still, I’m curious to see what community service he’ll be doing for that period because he has a lot of work on his hands.

  • Chris Brown Admits to Struggle


    Chris Brown has admitted some sort of defeat as the singer has spoken out to his friends on how he is struggling with recording his new album. The singer’s friend Tyrese revealed to reporters recently that “It’s really hard for him to focus right now on his music, even though he really wants to. Although he appears to be really strong through all of this, it’s really taking a toll on his spirit.” Tyrese also suggested for the media to take a break from their constant coverage of Chris and Rihanna but I think that Chris should slow down and take a break from being in the public eye.

  • Rihanna in “Bodyguard” remake


    There have been some rumors around that Rihanna might have received an offer to star in a remake of “The Bodyguard”. A source said this about Rihanna’s new career prospects: “Before the situation with Chris Brown, Rihanna was getting a lot of scripts. She has been wanting to do movies for a while now.” This is an interesting concept… still, Rihanna should probably start out smaller. I don’t know, maybe a new version of “How High”, or a spin-off of “Scary Movie”, perhaps even a medium-sized budget slasher-horror, anything before adventuring in such an ambitious project as a remake of “The Bodyguard”.

  • Chris Brown’s Nickelodeon Awards is on the Kids


    Everyone is wondering about why Chris Brown is still up for two Kids’ Choice Awards. Instead of being responsible adults and taking a stance, Nickelodeon, which will air the awards show at the end of this month, is hiding behind the young voters. A Nick executive says that Chris “was nominated by kids several months ago, and the kids who vote will ultimately decide who wins in the category.” In not so many words, they’re saying we should blame it on the kids. Who needs adults to teach young minds why Chris isn’t the best role model when kids rule the whole planet?

  • Injuries not as bad – Rihanna’s cousin


    A family member of R&B star Rihanna has downplayed the extent of the injuries suffered by her after her alleged fight with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown on the night of the Grammy Awards. The person supposedly her cousin says that star’s injuries are not “as bad as people make them sound.”

    Brown can face possible imprisonment after be charged by the LAPD for making criminal threats following the heated argument. Rihanna has returned to her native Barbados where it is being said that she has been received medical attention at a hospital.

    Rihanna’s cousin, Yvonne Fenty tells RadarOnline, “Rihanna is holding up well. Everyone is looking after her. Her injuries weren’t near as bad as people make them sound.”

    Bullshit my ass here what does he mean ‘not as bad’ is he telling us that only if she had a broken leg or hand would it be a serious enough case to her fans to show concern. That’s a pretty callous and asinine thing for a relative to say-especially in the media.

    When she becomes a witness Chris Brown would pee in his pants.

  • Chris Brown Got Milk Ads Gone


    Chris Brown has become a business plague. The singer is prominently featured in a current Milk Mustache ad campaign. The brand has just issued a statement regarding this past weekend’s sad and disturbing incident involving Rihanna. They said “The Milk Mustache campaign is taking the allegations against Chris Brown very seriously. We are very proud and protective of the image of the Milk Mustache campaign and the responsible message it sends to teens. Mr. Brown’s ad was launched last fall and is scheduled to end this week.” The ad featuring Chris says “Teens who drink milk tend to be leaner and the protein helps build muscle”. Just don’t use those muscles to hit girls.

  • Rihanna is the victim in Chris Brown assault case


    If at all internet reports are to be believed then the unidentified woman in Sunday’s Chris Brown domestic violence case is none other than his girlfriend singer Rihanna. Initially police officially did not indulge into the details of the victim but images and documents now available through police sources show that it is indeed Rihanna who is the victim.

    Crime reports have the name of the victim registered as Robyn Fenty, which is the birth name of Rihanna. Chris Brown turned himself to allow himself to be investigated by the police and allow for smooth question, later he was released on a bail of 50 grands Sunday evening.

    Chris you have been known to be a respectful man to your fans and have been blessed with a great life at a young age be grateful and enjoy it but enjoyment should not spill over to venting out ur anger against a girl who isn’t willing to accompany you on a rightful path.

    Good things have happened to you and if you would like that to continue then wait for a while and the right person will be your life partner, but please do not disappoint us with such behaviour.

  • Rihanna and Chris Brown to be sued

    This is all happening because their bodyguards have allegedly assaulted a paparazzo, Luis Santana. He tells the story as follows: “Once I got the pictures of Chris and Rihanna, Chris jumped out of the limo and his bodyguards began chasing me. One of the guys ripped my shirt off and grabbed me. They threw me to the ground and started kicking me. One of the guys put his knee in my face and was pressing down. I thought they were going to break my jaw.” The lawsuit will be for the sum of one million dollars. Such a modest sum, but it probably is a small price to pay for the two to remain in anonymity as a couple as this all started due to the fact that Mr. Santana managed to take photos of them together, photos that were supposedly worth quite a lot of money, unlike human dignity which seems totally worthless these days.

  • Rihanna for Gucci and UNICEF


    Rihanna has just been selected by Gucci as the face of its new UNICEF campaign. The campaign is called ‘Tattoo Heart’ and it will offer a line of special edition Gucci products featuring a tattoo style heart theme. 25% of the proceeds from sales will benefit UNICEF. Gucci creative director Frida Giannini said that the fashion house selected the Barbadian babe for its first UNICEF ads because of her strong personality and feeling that “a musician and a beautiful woman was the perfect icon for this campaign.” I couldn’t have said that better myself. Rihanna is just perfect for their campaign.

  • Rihanna fires business manager

    rihanna.jpg

    Rihanna reportedly fired her business manager after discovering she only has $20,000 left in her bank account.

    Patricia Williams claims she was recently “let go” after Rihanna accused her of stealing after discovering her pop fortune has all but disappeared. Williams said: “It’s not my fault that she only has $20,000 to her name. I have worked for many high-profile actors, musicians and multi-million dollar corporations. Why would I steal from Rihanna? I showed her all the paperwork and tried to explain to her the circumstances but she wouldn’t listen. She called me all sorts of horrible names and stormed off. I now feel compelled to share with the world the background story as I will not allow my name to be slandered.”

    Rihanna’s recent album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ has sold an estimated five million copies worldwide and she has toured extensively across the US and Europe this year. Williams claims the 20-year-old singer’s record label Def Jam and her manger Marc Jordan are to blame for her financial problems.

    She is quoted as saying: “Def Jam doesn’t fund Rihanna properly, so Marc uses the money Rihanna makes from third-party endorsements and from tours to fund her album and music videos. I don’t want to disrespect Marc’s name. He is a fantastic manager and genuinely believes in Rihanna. But he uses her money to fund her future projects because he believes he can break her in the world-market. Her album sales are not nearly as close to her single sales and he knows that if she is only known as a ’singles artist’ she will only be as good as her last hit. Unfortunately, he didn’t inform his client and I’m receiving the brunt of it.”

  • Rihanna Spends Serious Cash

    rihanna.jpg


    Rihanna is really proving how much money she’s making with her shopping trips. The singer was spotted out shopping on Thursday where I’m told that she spent over $15,000 at Fred Segal in just two hours. Rihanna has just graduated to certified diva with her spending. Sources say that the Barbadian singer did not just buy clothes but also several different expensive jewelry pieces including items like diamond bangles. She still has some things to learn though. You need to have the boy buy you the diamonds honey. It gives them a sense of purpose sometimes. I’m sure Chris Brown has the money to spend.

  • Rihanna on Jay-Z Rumors

    rihanna.jpg

    Rihanna sizzles on the June 2008 cover of Elle magazine. In the accompanying interview, she addresses the rumors about a romance between her and Jay-Z. Geeze, he’s already married to Beyonce and they’re still on this? Anyway, Rihanna says “Well, it’s crazy that you ask me that. People know that it’s not true. I think it’s kinda a cliche question, and people know it’s not true, so I don’t even know why it’s still addressed to this day. I get asked about it all the time and I’m like, You’re asking, but you know the answer. I don’t even like to address it anymore.”
