Well, well, not only did Rihanna manage to get over her issues with Chris Brown, but she also seems to have garnered a lot of respect given her recent public discussions about her abusive relationship. Actress Halle Berry, who also had a rough time with abuse from her father and later in a relationship had this to say of Rihanna’s courage: “Recently, Rihanna stepped forward and obviously she had an issue with domestic violence. She was able to get away which isn’t often the easiest thing. Any time a woman frees herself from that kind of bondage and that kind of situation I’m proud.” Yep, Rihanna freed herself from the bondage and then admitted to wanting a hung guy and just wanting to have fun. That’s an example alright… still, Halle Berry should probably stick to her old way. It might prove better for her.
Russell Allan Wetanson, a reporter in the case of Rihanna’s assault by Chris Brown, apparently posted some videos with interviews of Chris Brown outside the courtroom where the rapper plead guilty on a website he owns. It seems that something like this is illegal and Russell Allan Wetanson will be held in contempt of the court… not to mention that the videos have been removed from the website. It seems that such taping is prohibited… but doesn’t this all sound a bit like censorship? I mean seriously, what in the world could those interviews have contained that they were taken off of the web… a confession by Chris Brown that the whole thing was set up? This is all too strange for school.
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.
Chris Brown’s biological father is the latest family member that has something to say about the ’situation’ that is going on between Chris Brown and Rihanna.
Clinton Brown, a 44-year-old corrections officer, told People:
“He’s reflecting on this situation. He’s very remorseful. He’s very concerned about the situation and he wants to make sure that [Rihanna's] okay. This is unfortunate, this stumble, this situation. Hopefully, he will get past it. We all have our shortcomings. We all trip… This music industry is very unforgiving when it comes to having indiscretions. He will continue to be a good person. He loves people. And like most of us, most humans, things will occur. And hopefully a person won’t be judged simply on that alone.”
“This music industry is very unforgiving when it comes to having indiscretions”. I disagree with Daddy Brown referring to this assault as a “stumble” or a “shortcoming”. His son hit a woman. This is not some minor thing.
Not a good enough apology, and besides, actions speak louder than second hand words. It will be interesting to see when and if his baby boy will man up. Chris beat her up, shouting “I’m gonna kill you” loud enough so that an 911 operator can hear, then splits the scene.
He hires a celebrity attorney to drive him to the police station as he hides under a blanket to sneak in the back door. He bailed out after 45 minutes or so, and then takes off in a private jet to Vegas for a few days.
Sensitive move.
Jessica is on tour with Rascal Flatts and she opened the show on Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
During the concert, Jessica gave the women in the audience this little tidbit of advice:
“To any woman out there who is in an abusive relationship, let me tell you that each and every single woman, you can take your heart and run so far away and fall in love again, and that’s the reason I recorded this song called ‘Remember That’.”
Jessica also told the audience this bit of info:
“So I have to say that every time I’ve performed Madison Square Garden my pants have completely ripped in half because I’d go down and hit a note, so tonight I decided to wear a little, like ‘Scort,’ not a skirt, but it’s like shorts, just so they wouldn’t split, anyways!”
Hmm, if her ex-hubby Nick didn’t abuse her he needs to speak up! In light of the Chris/RiRi alleged assault recently, discussions about domestic violence are going to be going on much more. If she isn’t referring to Nick and she means someone else, who could it be, and if she means Nick, this kind of talk could ruin him because scandalous talk spreads like wild fire.

Rihanna sang a four-song set at the Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Bash at Florida State Fairgrounds’ Ford Amphitheatre this past Thursday in Tampa, Fla. She sang four of her hit songs including “Disturbia,” “Breakin’ Dishes,” “Rehab,” and “Shut Up And Drive.”
Doesn’t she look ready to play a game of tackle? She’s all geared up with her shin guards and kneepads! I’m loving her Christian Louboutin booties!
The event was sponsored by VH1, and also had performances by Fall Out Boy and Lifehouse.
Rihanna wore this sunny lemony yellow Jasmine Di Milo wool one-shoulder cocktail dress at the Inauguration Charity Ball at Ibiza nightclub on Tuesday (January 20) in Washington, D.C.
The gala was hosted by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the US that provides emergency food assistance through a network of more than 200 food banks.
Check out her studded shoes:
Here are Rihanna and Chris Brown performing at Z100’s Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden in New York City last night.
Chris talked to Billboard about making guests spots on other albums:
“I did (a song titled “Human”) with Tim McGraw. It’s incredible. I wanted to do something more along the country line. That’s a bigger and different audience for me. I also did a song with the Japanese group called the Teriyaki Boys out of (producer/performer) Pharrell’s camp!”
He added:
“I actually have a couple of songs written already that would be dope collaborations between me and her [Rihanna]. And I’m writing for her new album now!”
He continued:
” [I] did a couple of songs for the Jonas Brothers, but I don’t know if they took any of them. And I did a couple of songs with the Backstreet Boys and the Pussycat Dolls. I’ve also been writing songs
for several new girl groups who are coming out.”
Rihanna reminds me of a combo of Mr. T. and Prince. This look does one thing for sure… takes the focus off her hairstyle. Like seriously… who is this girl’s stylist? Here she is covered in necklaces adorned with silver crucifixes, keys, horseshoes and what looks like hands? while having a bite to eat at the Cafe Med at Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood.
She’s been in rehearsals getting ready for her performace at Sunday’s American Music Awards airing @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
Kanye West had this to say about her:
“Rihanna had a really breakout year and became the biggest artist. Like, Rihanna sells more records than me all together if you include her in national sales and she is arguably the biggest artist in the world right now.”
