Nearly three weeks after Brown allegedly battered the singer, the couple have got back together. “She’s not listening to anyone,” says a Rihanna pal. “And of course Puff got involved in this.”

The couple is staying together at a house owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs on Star Island near Miami, Florida. Brown has been seen smiling, riding a jet ski, and flexing his arm muscles. Rihanna arrived four days ago, according to a source.

The latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, reports the pair have recently begun speaking again, and that Brown reached out to Rihanna on her 21st birthday. “He’s been calling and they are talking,” says a source.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles County District Attorney is expected to make a decision soon on whether to charge Brown for the alleged beating on February 8.

In the weeks following the incident, Rihanna has been laying low, spending time in Los Angeles, Mexico and the ultraprivate resort at Pelican Hill in
Newport Beach, California.

Rihanna’s pals recently told us a reconciliation was always a possibility, “It’s not easy to shut off a relationship she invested so much in.”

A new single has emerged from former TUG act Omarion who is now signed to Timbaland's record label. I've never been a fan of Omarion; dont have any albums, just a couple of songs - but that said I really like this song. Comfort which is produced by Timbaland is rumoured to be the first single off of his upcoming third album. I really like the beat, its nothing major by Timbalands standards but nice all the same. And Lil Wayne succeeds in ruining yet another song - I seriously fail to see the 'talent' in this guy - but whatever sells.

Here is a new song from Rihanna called Whipping My Hair that has just surfaced the web the song was put together by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart and it sucks, but check it out anyways.

R&B singer Chris Brown's career has taken another knock - Ciara has reportedly scrapped plans for a duet with the troubled star following his alleged altercation with girlfriend Rihanna.

Rapper Flo Rida has already pulled his collaboration with Brown from his forthcoming album R.O.O.T.S. - and now Goodies singer Ciara has hinted she's followed suit.
Ciara's track Turntables was due to feature vocals by Brown - but she now claims the tune will be heard "a little bit differently", prompting rumours she's re-recorded over his contributions.

She says, "Turntables will be on the album. Now you may hear it a little bit differently than what you've heard it, but in a cool way."

Will Chris Brown be a one-hit wonder?

Nick Cannon has won over producers as the new host of US TV show America'S Got Talent - by enlisting his wife Mariah Carey to make a guest appearance.

TV bosses announced the actor/rapper would replace Jerry Springer as the show's MC earlier this month.

And, according to America's In Touch magazine, Carey has agreed to join existing judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff for a one-off episode this summer.

An insider says, "Mariah is a superstar and rarely does TV appearances, but this is for her husband. In addition to her stint as a guest judge, she's even planning on being a regular in the audience."

Poor Nick he'll always be known as someones boyfriend or husband but never as Nick Canon, then again theres not much to say about Nick, he sucked as a rapper and an actor.

Beyonce rocks the cover of Ebony magazine looking very mature and strong, and opens up a bit about being a wife:

“I’m a little messy. Oh, yeah. Whenever I’m out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don’t want to take care of anything. I drop it. I’m relaxed. I don’t have any shoes on. No makeup. My purse is in the kitchen. I think that is most difficult thing for him. He’s very, very organized. I’m extremely organized when I’m working, and I work so much that when I get home I don’t want to think about anything.”

As for what Jay-Z does that get on her nerves: She laughs, “I won’t say.”

I LOVE this song, the video is pretty average quite similar to Akons 'I Wanna Love You', and for some weird reason Slumdog Millionaire music composer A R Rahman makes a cameo (2mins 30 sec) ?

Rihanna is carrying Chris Brown's child, according to unconfirmed reports from the US.

The hip hop star was arrested for allegedly assaulting the Umbrella singer, and charged with making criminal threats on 8 February. And now The National Enquirer is claiming Rihanna, 21, is pregnant with his baby.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent has apologised for mocking the alleged altercation in a cartoon posted on his website. ‘I thought that was something that you could use for humour, like any other comedian or someone else would utilize current events,’ he tells MTV News.

‘After I saw the photographs of Rihanna, that wasn’t funny anymore.’

Haha these rumours just keep coming.

Now for some real true updates it seems that Rihanna may not have gone to Barbados but chilling in Mexico, out of hiding soaking up some sun.



And Rihanna may not be pressing charges against Chris Brown, story still developing so watch this space.

Rumored to be the second single off of the upcoming album At That Point. I like it, but I have high standards for Teairra and she hasn't lived up to them from what I've heard so far.

She's looking very plastic, and quite thin or is it just the lighting and grease? Check out more pics from photoshoot below.

Embattled R&B star CHRIS BROWN has reportedly enrolled in anger-management classes in a bid to try and control his temper after he was arrested for allegedly beating girlfriend RIHANNA.

Brown's career has taken a nosedive since he was charged with making criminal threats following the alleged attack on the Umbrella singer on 8 February (09).
He has been dropped from ad campaigns for Wrigleys and America's Got Milk? promotion, while his music has been removed from several radio stations' playlists.

The furore surrounding the incident has only heightened since a photo of what appears to be a badly bruised Rihanna was leaked to celebrity website TMZ.com last week (ends 20Feb09).

Now, Brown's representatives have advised the singer to take anger-management lessons in a bid to salvage his damaged public image, according to the New York Daily News.

The publication reports the singer attended his first class on Monday (23Feb09) in California in preparation for his court date on 5 March (09).

A source tells the publication, "Chris doesn't actually have to go by law, but he believes it will make him look better to the public, and he wants to try to get in a few classes before March 5."

Fallon and Felisha of girl group Cherish have parted ways with the rest of the group to form their own duo. As they're all sisters in that group I'm hoping there isn't any drama behind the split. No reason has yet been given but some are speculating that it is because the other two sisters have different priorities, what with one being married and the other having kids, which is fair enough. The song is nice, typical of Cherish's material which is good 'cos I liked them. The girls have been in the studio recording with Brian Michael Cox and others; you can check out their new myspace here: http://www.myspace.com/fallonandfelisha

Simon Cowell wants scientists to freeze his body when he passes away.

The X Factor judge, 49, reckons doctors will be able to revive him with future technology.

‘I've decided to have myself frozen when I die,’ Simon told Prime Minister Gordon Brown at a Downing Street dinner.

‘You know, cryonics. You pay a load of money and you get stuck in a deep-freeze once you've been declared dead.

‘Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so and I want to be available when they do.’

Bey was looking stunning and totally rocked the stage performing classic tunes.

British actress Kate Winslet finally wins an oscar for her performance in The Reader looking stunning on the red carpet.



Slumdog Millionaire continues to rake in the awards taking home 8 Oscars:



The kids from the movie were at the show too, little Jamal is so adorable in his black suit:



And Miley Cyrus looked classy for the first time:

Joe Jonas has a crush on Emma Watson.

The singer, who has vowed to stay a virgin until he's married, is keen to be introduced to the Harry Potter star, 18.

‘I haven't met her, but she's amazing,’ he tells the Daily Record. ‘I think everybody wants girl attention. We date and, just like everyone else, we're looking for love.’

Jonas Brothers frontman Joe, 19, split from girlfriend Taylor Swift, also 19, last year.

It might not be an Oscar, but Paris Hilton took home another top award this weekend.
The star, along with The Love Guru's Mike Myers, won three Golden Raspberry Awards on Saturday at the annual ceremony that honors the year's worst in films.

The hotel heiress swept the acting categories and was named Worst Actress for The Hottie and the Nottie and Worst Supporting Actress for Repo! The Genetic Opera.
Hilton also joined her Nottie costars Christine Lakin and Joel David Moore in earning the prize for Worst Screen Couple.

Myers also took home three Razzies for his work with box-office flop, The Love Guru. Leading the evening with seven nominations,the movie was honored as Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay. Myers also won Worst Actor.

"This is one of those auteur-of-the-awful situations," John Wilson, founder of the Razzies, said when nominations were announced in January. "I think people are tired of him in general. He hasn't really made a good movie in quite some time."

The new single from Ciara; after previous singles Never Ever and Go Girl failed to do well it seems she's going for third time lucky. Well I dont really think much of the song but the video is being shot in New York today by the same director of Promise and Like a Boy. I'm actually surprised her record label are giving her so many chances since she really isn't doing well - but I think its likely that this is the last chance.

And to make it just that little bit worse, the picture has been leaked on the singers 21st birthday.

The folowing statement was released by the LAPD:
In other news, the singers album Good Girl Gone Bad has increased in sales by a massive 31%. Is this what it takes to sell albums now? She's been promoting the crap out of this album for over a year now, and all of a sudden people now feel the urge to go and buy it? Its just pathetic really.

Solange Knowles was rushed to hospital after overdosing on cough medicine.

The 22-year-old singer - who is the younger sister of Beyonce - collapsed at an airport in the early hours of yesterday (18.02.09) morning after acidently taking too much of over-the-counter drug NyQuil during a flight.

Solange - who has been released from hospital - caused her family and friends concern by posting a series of garbled messages on her Twitter webpage throughout the ordeal.

Her first post on the social networking website read: "I took a nyquil and i think maybe im getting high off it because im not sleeping. maybe i should close my eyes before these twits are bananas."

This was followed by: "think im certified loosing it on nyquil. going to sleep before i start freestyling on the plane.

"omg i didnt know nyquil could do this to you.i took the pills tho.cant stomach cough syrup.trying to be proactive on this flight (sic)."

Solange even updated her page moments after collapsing in the baggage reclaim area of the airport.

Usher reportedly had no idea his wife was planning to undergo plastic surgery in Brazil.

The singer only discovered Tameka Raymond was having liposuction earlier this month when he received a phone call to say his wife was in an induced coma, according to In Touch Weekly magazine.

Usher rushed to the Sao Rafael Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, after learning Tameka had suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest when she was being anesthetised.

Tameka was revived with heart massage from the cardiac arrest in less than a minute and placed in an induced coma before being moved to the intensive care unit.

She was later transferred to Sirio-Libanes Hospital - one of the best in Brazil.

After spending 11 days recovering from the incident, Tameka was finally released from hospital on Monday (15.02.09).

Mirtes Bogea, a spokeswoman for the Sirio-Libanes Hospital, refused to elaborate on her health, saying: "We do not have any more information about her condition."

ChrihannaGate is covering the upcoming issue of Life & Style magazine. And the new details emerging say Rihanna may not walk completely away from Chris after all this drama. Here’s what L&S has to say:

A week after his arrest following a violent fight with his girlfriend, Rihanna, Chris Brown broke his silence with a statement, saying, “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired.” But while Chris was finally speaking out about what happened, at press time, the notoriously press-shy Rihanna still wasn’t. “She wants more time to think about everything,” says an insider close to Chris. “She loves Chris but also wants to send the right message to fans by what she says publicly and how she handles her relationship.”

Although Rihanna was spotted leaving LA’s London hotel with Chris the morning after the incident — which reportedly left her with two contusions on her forehead, a bloody lip and nose, and bite marks on one arm and several fingers — she returned alone to her native Barbados soon after. “At some point, she will speak out,” says her father, Ronald Fenty, who still lives in Barbados. “She’ll be all right.” As for the state of her relationship with Chris, Ronald adds, “If it were me, I’d move on.”

But will Rihanna, 21, be able to break things off with Chris, 19, whom she’s been dating for a little more than a year? While a family friend of Chris’ tells Life & Style the two are not currently talking, a Rihanna insider isn’t convinced the star will cut Chris out of her life for good. “People who know Rihanna know how much she loves him and how she believes very much in the fairy-tale ending,” the insider tells Life & Style. “Maybe that’s naive, but hardly anyone who works with her believes she’s just going to walk away from him.”

This is getting boring.

R&B singer Teairra Mari has finally hit the televised promo trail for her new single 'Hunt 4 U' - performing on Fox's Morning Show yesterday. Teairra started at the same time as Rihanna poor management has hindered her from becoming as successful as Rihanna, Teairra is vocally talented compared to Ri but there is just so much wrong in the clip below. Firstly that bun is hideous and secondly her vocals were strained... and she'll never be as famous as Beyonce crazy man.

Grammy winning, platinum superstar and recording artist Robin Thicke and Grammy and Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson are set to embark on a multi-city co-headlining tour beginning March 31st at Albany, NY’s Palace Theater. The Robin Thicke -Jennifer Hudson Tour will bring together two of the most distinctive and enduring voices in the current world of R&B music across major US cities including New York, Atlanta , Chicago, Los Angeles and more.

The 31-year-old rapper - who gave birth to her baby son last Wednesday (11.02.09), just days after she performed at the Grammys - is so keen to sing at the upcoming award ceremony she is considering using a computer-generated image of herself.

M.I.A. is up for an award in the best original song category for her collaboration with AR Rahman on 'O Saya' - a song which features on the soundtrack of the Danny Boyle film 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

Speaking about the new mother's possible Oscar performance, Indian composer Rahman said: "She wants to. In fact, she said she'll do it with a hologram. She has all these ideas. I don't know how it's going to be possible, though. Having a baby is such an important thing in your life - more important than winning an Oscar."

Oscars producer Laurence Mark is hoping to tempt M.I.A. into performing at the annual awards this Sunday (22.02.09) by making her as comfortable as possible.
He said: "She's eager to perform... we've said things like 'We're willing to have her enter on a large bed'. We'll make it as easy for her as we can."

This video is amazingly directed by Nabil, I have never seen anything like it before every scene is so creative I found the video quite hypnotising because I didn’t like this song when I first heard it but after watching the video the song has really grown on me Kid Cudi sounds amazing.

KANYE WEST "Welcome To Heartbreak" Directed by Nabil from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.

Kanye West is no doubt original but is he 'end-all, be-all of music'...

The US rapper insists he is so talented he is like a "superhero", adding his only problem is he is so gifted people often don't understand his music.

He said: "One of the problems with being a bubbling source of creativity - it's like I'm bubbling in a laboratory, and if you don't put a cap on it, at one point it will, like, break the glass. "If I can hone that then I have nuclear power, like a superhero, like Cyclops when he puts his glasses on."

In Greek mythology a Cyclops was a one-eyed giant, known for its supreme strength and power.

The 31-year-old star - who released album '808s and Heartbreak' last year - insists no other recording artist comes close to being as successful as him.

He explained: "There's nothing more to be said about music. I'm the f***ing end-all, be-all of music. I know what I'm doing. I did 808s in three weeks. I got it. It's on cruise control."

Kanye believes his superior musical skills come from his early fascination with sex, explaining he transferred his youthful lusty obsessions to producing songs.

He said: "People ask me a lot about my drive. I think it comes from having a sexual addiction at a really young age. Look at the drive that people have to get sex - to dress like this and get a haircut and be in the club in the freezing cold at 3am, the places they go to pick up a girl. If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic..."

The two duked it out on the micro-blogging site after Perez wrote a post (er, "Tweet") letting it be known that Allen was casting for her new video, and that he should be considered for a role in the clip.

The quick-witted Brit fired back — writing "Oh, I'm sorry, we've already cast the jealous and bitter lonely old queen role. Next time, eh?"

"Jealous of who?" Hilton responded. "David Beckham, maybe. And if I wanted to be a f---ed up Brit, I'd rather be Amy Winehouse — whose [sic] got talent."

The two then exchanged "you're so obsessed" barbs, before Hilton decided to take the beef to the next level, taking a potshot at the sales of Allen's just-released album, It's Not Me, It's You, which is selling at a low retail price.

"Congrats on your album doing well in America, though," he wrote. "It's REALLY HARD to sell copies when u discount it to $3.99. Desperate."

"It's also #1 everywhere else in the world, douchebag," Allen replied. "Go away you little parasite."

Hilton then tried to play nice — saying that both he and Allen were "big fat c---s," and that's why he loves her — then abruptly switched gears, getting catty about ads Allen's label had purchased to run on his Web site.

"P.S. Thanks for advertising on my website," Hilton wrote. "I'll take your money (or the label's) anytime!"

"I know you will, and that's what makes you a cheap ass w---e," Allen responded. "Now leave me alone, stop following me, I'm working. Bye x x."

Mike Skinner, who performs as The Streets, used his blog on the site to respond to Allen's claim that his music was boring. "At least she's not stalking me anymore," he wrote.

Heroes costars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have called it quits, Usmagazine.com has learned.

"It was a lifestyle conflict," a source close to the couple tells Us, adding that the split happened within the last week. "They were in very different places."
Adds the insider, "They are still on friendly terms. There are no hard feelings."
The source tells Us that Panettiere, 19, "is young. She likes to go out in the Hollywood scene and that's not his style."

Ventimiglia, 31, "has been concentrating on work on his production company [Divide Pictures]," the source adds.

The two, who began dating in 2008, had been an open secret for months – in part because of their 12-year age gap.

Watch Paris Hilton a.k.a P Hizzle rapping with Snoop Dogg

This made me laugh :D

So far I haven't really liked much of Ciara's new music especially lead single Never Ever which tbh sucks. I like this song though, its really catchy - but does the beat remind anyone else a little of a watered down version of LL Cool J's Headsprung? Refresh your memory of that here:

The video for Truly in Love was released today. Its a nice vid, different for Lil Mama, and a little on the boring side but nice all the same. Although Truly in Love is a great song I would have loved to see Swim or Broken Pieces released as singles as they are 2 of the best tracks on the album and showcase her talents so much more than the annoying Lipgloss. You can listen to them below:

Swim

Broken Pieces

The 19-year-old 'Slumdog Millionaire' star asked someone to shock him to prove he really was at the glitzy British ceremony last week, and was quickly brought back down to earth by the actress.

Dev said: "I was on the red carpet with Sharon Stone and I said can someone please slap me - and Sharon Stone slapped me!"

Dev also revealed he is amazed at how successful 'Slumdog Millionaire' has been, because it was never intended for a cinematic release.

He added during an interview on UK TV show 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross': "It's surreal, a roller-coaster. At one point the film was going straight to DVD, there was no hope. Then through word of mouth it became 'Slumdog Millionaire' - the generic underdog story."

It was revealed earlier this week that Sharon had a crush on Dev - and used him sitting next to her at the ceremony to her advantage.

A source said: "Dev is young enough to be her son- even her grandson, but that didn't seem to stop Sharon flirting with him."

AN Asian woman in Los Angeles is suing MILEY CYRUS for $4billion (£2.8billion) over the now infamous photo of the Disney star slanting her eyes.

Lucie J Kim has filed a class action lawsuit, claiming to represent the one million Asian Pacific Islanders living in LA.

In court documents she says: “Miley intentionally puts her hands to either side of her face and pulls the sides of her eyes to slant them in mockery of the stereotypical physical features of persons of Asian Pacific Island descent and national origin.

“It was clearly an act of racism, prejudice and pure ignorance.”

Lucie adds that: “She knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life.”
The lawsuit says that each Asian Pacific Islander is entitled to $4,000 (£2,800), which adds up the $4billion figure.

The Hannah Montana star has twice apologised for the pic.

This week she posted a message on her website reading: “I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone.
“I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometimes my actions can be unintentionally hurtful.”

Miley has not commented on the lawsuit.

Will Smith is amongst the many celebs to reach out to Chris Brown and Rihanna. At the NAACP awards he said:

Beyonce performs Halo. She also won the Outstanding Female Artist award:

She looked great...... but Halle Berry looked amazing!!


Child star Dakota Fanning was also there looking all grown up. She posed with Tyler James Williams of Everbody Hates Chris - one of the best shows on TV at the moment!

Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl looking like a 20-something year old. I couldn't believe she was just 15 because she looks so much older. She's a pretty girl - but maybe she should go easy on the make up a bit?
