The Dishing Diva

Rihanna’s car was pulled over early Thursday morning in Hollywood after leaving the nightclub, Les Deux!

After being swarmed by paparazzi, the vehicle she was riding in was stopped by police for missing a front license plate and window tinting.

Rihanna has been out and about a lot lately trying to be seen without Chris Brown even though they reconciled and were together both in Miami and L.A. AFTER he was charged with assaulting her. A source says Rihanna, and Chris are now spending time apart:

“They are taking some time off; they haven’t broken up but they are taking a break.”

Everyone knows she took him back, she’s just waiting for the right time to go public … thing is… how long will she keep her distance from him? Going out with her girlfriends and hanging out in VIP booths isn’t fooling any of us.

Kelly’s 4th album, All I Ever Wanted has had an impressive debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with 254,111 albums sold and #1 on the Digital Album Chart. This marks Kelly’s first #1 album since her debut in 2002.

That’s just a wee bit behind Clarkson’s last album, the troubled My December. It moved 291,000 in its first week back in June 2007. Her hit single “My Life Would Suck Without You,” makes her poised for a solid comeback.

Also debuting on the charts is the second album from songwriter/producer The-Dream, Love Vs. Money, which hit the #2 spot and racked up 151,000 in sales, beating out U2′s No Line on the Horizon.

In these tough economic times, it’s an encouragement for the music industry as the totals for the top three represent the first time this year that a trio of discs in the top 10 has passed the 100K-plus mark!

Fergie is seen here at the Record Plant Recording Studios on Monday (March 16) in Los Angeles, Calif.

The Black Eyed Peas are reuniting and working on an upcoming album called “The E.N.D.,” which is due to drop in June.

Fergie’s new brunette hair colour that she showed off at the March of Dimes 34th annual Beauty Ball last week in New York City put a stop to the pregnancy rumors as hair dyes are not safe for pregnant women. She also confirmed she wasn’t with child when she said:

“I’m not going to be because I’m going on tour. I wouldn’t want to do that to the poor child.”

The E.N.D. stands for “the energy never dies” apparently.

Miley’s Hannah Montana Chocolate Granola Bars have been recalled due to suspected salmonella contamination.

The Canadian recall was issued last week after it was discovered the granola bars contained peanut products that were part of the widespread peanut recall that hit the U.S. and Canada earlier this year.

She was recently told to “grow up” by Radiohead. She is alleged to have threatened to “ruin them” after being snubbed by the band at last month’s Grammys.

The group issued a statement which said:

“When Miley grows up, she’ll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement.”

Kanye West also whined about being snubbed by the band so Miley has something in common with him.

Thom Yorke wrote on their Dead Air Space blog:

“Wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you’re not one of those people I have managed to offend by doing nothing.”

Here is the full interview that Zac had with Aussie Rove host Rove McManus. He talks about his movie, 17 Again which is releasing in Aussie theaters April 9th, the Aussie language and his performance at the Oscars:

I found this part of the interview where he talks about his older fans kind of cute!

“There are a lot of young fans — they’re beautiful and they’re amazing — but it’s the moms that get absolutely crazy. There was one, I was at this signing and there were stairs you had to walk up and everyone was coming one at a time. There was this mom that was in a wheelchair and her daughter came up and got an autograph. And the mom was like, ‘I want one too,’ so she stands right up from the wheelchair and walks right up on stage. I was like, ‘Of course, you can have whatever you want.’ I signed like ten things for her and she walked back down, sat back in her wheelchair and rolled away.”

Zac Efron will make an appearance with comedian Russell Brand on Rove this Sunday, March 15. He’ll be premiering ’17 Again’ in Melbourne on Monday evening (March 16).

Zac Efron was seen Friday night (March 13) at the Grand Finals of the National Basketball League at the Hisense Arena in Melbourne, Australia.

A fan who was there told celebrity blogger Just Jared:

“He was hooded and trying to keep a low profile until they showed him on the big screen. At half time, fans swarmed on his box but security was evident. He talked to a few young fans and left before full time where the South Dragons defeated the Melbourne Tigers.”

It’s just been a little over a week since MJ made an unmasked appearance in London to announce his new tour, yet here he is again wearing a surgical mask on his way into a Beverly Hills medical center.

He’s been wearing surgical masks for years and still has us ALL fascinated. That’s why he’s still one of the biggest money-makers out there even with the negativity that surrounds him.

Michael is scheduled to perform 36 concerts starting in July. The 100.000 tickets sold out this morning, in just 2 hours. It’s amazing how he still rocks at 50 but will he have the physical strength to perform?

Joaquin performed last night at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami at around 2 in the morning. During his ghetto – budget rap act, some loser in the audience tried to do the flex . Joaquin response was:

“We have a f**ing bitch in the audience”

The loser in the crowd kept at him, so Joaquin hissed back:

“I’ve got $1 million in the bank. What have you got b**ch?”

Then Joaquin dropped his mic, charged into the audience and gave him a beat down.

Security broke the wrestling match up and booted Joaquin out of his own show. Naturally, Casey Affleck recorded the whole scene on tape for the mockumentary they are making. I used to think he was kind of sexy looking but homeboy trying to gain street cred isn’t working for him.

He’s a walking contradiction in terms. The GQ suit he is wearing is perfectly tailored to him and the homeless ‘fro and grizzly beard ” rapper ” combo top is rebel/bada** yet he goes on Letterman, gives press conferences and keeps us all informed on his new thing.

Something about him does it for me though!

Here is Britney poolside at the Mandarin Oriental pool getting a pedicure. She is currently in the midst of her Circus tour but has a few days off relaxing with her children, visiting sick kids in the hospital, and going shopping at the Spanish Mediterranean-styled mall, Merrick Park in Coral Gables.

“Britney looked so fresh and was so nice,” a source at high-end shoe store, Jimmy Choo told PEOPLE:

“She bought shoes, sunglasses and bags and thoroughly enjoyed the shopping experience.”

Another mall retailer said: “Britney looked really relaxed and happy.”

Her tour resumes again tonight where she’ll be performing at Nassau Coliseum in New York before doing two nights in Newark, N.J.

Kelly Clarkson is on the cover of the April 2009 issue of Blender magazine. My question to the magazine is “why would a magazine ask such dumb questions?” I’ll have to check out the issue to make sure they talked about her album while they were discussing her urinary habits and nudity.

Interestingly enough, she didn’t seem to be offended at all by these questions. That is what makes her so …. oddly normal!

Here are some tidbits from the interview:

On peeing in the shower:

“Anybody who says they don’t is lying.”

On taking pleasure in walking around naked:

“I’m the kinda person who just doesn’t like clothes.”

On blowing her nose and then checking the tissue to see what color the snot is:

“I mean, if you have a cold, you have to check, to see how sick you are.”

On the essence of her appeal:

“The thing with me, and my audience in particular is, people look at me like a sister or a daughter. It’s not like people look at me as unattainable, some kind of star like that. People love the ‘real’ factor that’s involved, I think.”

On being an open book and willing to “talk about anything”:

“I do not lie. Ever. I will tell my girlfriend if she looks fat in her jeans… When you don’t make yourself clear or heard, that’s where trouble starts. And that’s something I learned as a child. No one is going to know what you feel unless you tell them.”
