Rihanna Purposely Hits Fan With Her Microphone
June 19, 2013 3:50pm ESTFurther proof that you don’t mess with RiRi: at a concert in Birmingham, England Tuesday night, Rihanna hit an overly eager fan with her microphone. While performing "We Found Love" as part of her Diamonds World Tour, the singer went out into the crowd and touched her fans' hands. When an audience member refused to let go of her arm, Rihanna lashed out, using her microphone to make the fan loosen her grip. In case the video didn’t make it clear, this was no accident. Afterwards, Rihanna remained Unapologetic when a witness tweeted about the incident, replying, "Purpose! That b— won't let me go." Maybe her fans at her next show will learn to keep their distance... but probably not.

Rihanna Reportedly Considering Entering a Woman’s Love and Sex Addiction Rehab Facility
June 18, 2013 12:30pm ESTForget the Ben & Jerry's and girly movies. After her recent breakup with Chris Brown, Rihanna is taking a very different approach to getting over the hip-hop star. According to Jezebel, the "Stay" singer will be checking herself into a 12-step sex and love addictions program. Taking a break from her Diamonds World Tour, Riri will soon head to Recovery Ranch in Tennessee, where she will take part in a program run by the Center for Relationship and Sexual Recovery (CRSR). An inside source reports, "Rihanna is still desperately in love with Chris. It's like she's obsessed with him and, although he's told her it's over, she just can't get over him. After talking it through with a psychotherapist, Rihanna is now considering doing a 12-step program to get rid of her demons.'' According to the Recovery Ranch website, the CRSR treatment "helps women sex and love addicts struggling with the following addictive behavior patterns, among others: -Endlessly searching for "the one"-Attracting troubled, addicted, abusive or otherwise eamotionally unavailable partners-Mistaking sex and romance for intimate love-Using sex and/or love to mask loneliness or unhappiness-Changing one’s appearance through excessive dieting/exercise or surgery-Using seduction, sex or other schemes to attract or hold onto a partner-Multiple extramarital affairs-Compulsive masturbation with or without pornography-Making sexual advances toward individuals in subordinate power positions-Dressing seductively to attract attention, take risks or feel empowered-Having sex in high-risk locations or situations-Inappropriate sexual and relationship boundaries (e.g., engaging in a relationship with a married man or boss)-Trading sex for drugs, help, affection, money, status or power-Having anonymous sex or repeatedly "falling in love" with strangers We wonder which behaviors Rihanna has been exhibiting. Her rocky relationship with Chris Brown was certainly anything but healthy, so therapy will probably do her some good. We wish you all the best, Rihanna!

Charles Saatchi Finally Admits To Abusing Wife Nigella Lawson
June 18, 2013 10:54am ESTBillionare advertising mogul Charles Saatchi has confessed assault and accepted a "police caution" in regards to the photograph that surfaced of him viscously clenching the throat of his wife, British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson. London's Evening Standard reported that Saatchi originally claimed that the infamous photo, which catches renowned art collector Saatchi aggressively choking his wife, exaggerated the couples feud. He also vowed that he and his Wife mitigated their fight soon enough and reconciled once they were home and out of the public eye. Despite how the nasty snap framed the famous couple's argument, Saatchi relentlessly insisted that it was merely "a playful tiff." The loaded British husband continued to deny his role as an abuser stating "there was no grip." Yet, Nigella was spotted with tears dripping down her cheeks in the haze of their public quarrel, which occurred on June 9th at the swanky London-based Scott's Restaurant. But now, Saatchi, whose famous advertising company assisted Margaret Thatcher's become prime minister, is finally coming clean– admitting that he did indeed abused his wife. Although it is terrible that Lawson was exposed to such severe maltreatment, her violent argument with her husband has sparked a more open conversation about domestic violence in the public sphere.

Aaliyah Makes Appearance in Chris Brown’s ‘Don’t Think They Know’ Video
June 17, 2013 3:41pm ESTChris Brown has never been one to shy away from controversy. From his run-ins with the law to his abusive behavior to his frightening artwork, the hip-hop artist has dabbled in a fair share of contentious issues. For his most recent project, Brown is tackling the topic of gang violence. In the new video for his latest single "Don't Think They Know," the singer acts as a peacemaker between two rival gangs (with several not-so-thinly veiled references to the Bloods and Crips). Opening with the statistic, "Every two hours in America today a child dies of a gunshot wound," the clip depicts Chris Brown singing throughout Compton, sometimes leading gangs and at other times with children on school steps. "Don't Think They Know" samples music from Aaliyah, but the video pays tribute to the late singer in an even bigger way. In several shots of Brown dancing, he is flanked by holographic images of Aaliyah; the video concludes with the message, "Dear Aaliyah, We love and miss you, thank you for inspiring us all." The tribute to Aaliyah is admittedly touching, though it might be much meaningful more if it came from a different artist. We can't help but think that it's a little hypocritical of Chris Brown to be preaching against violence not only for his abuse of girlfriend Rihanna, but for even more recent headline-making brawls with Frank Ocean and Drake. Brown's upcoming album X drops on July 16.

Taylor Swift pranks Ed Sheeran at awards show
June 12, 2013 5:54am ESTTaylor Swift embarrassed her friend Ed Sheeran in front of other celebrities at a glitzy awards show by playing a naughty prank on the British star. The singers, who are currently on tour together, have become close pals, but Sheeran admits Swift tested their friendship during an outing to the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas in May (13) by giving him some very bad advice. Sheeran reveals he had little knowledge of how American prizegivings work, and Swift took full advantage. He tells Britain's BBC Radio 1, "We went to Vegas to the Billboard Awards together... It was cool, but awkward, because 50 per cent of people were really American and 50 per cent were cool... "Taylor got me a seat next to her. But I didn't know what to do as at a British ceremony, like the BRIT Awards, you just sit there and get drunk. But Taylor told me that at an American awards when someone wins, you stand up and clap, and when someone performs you stand up and dance. "Then she left me on my own in the front row as she had to perform. Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown were behind me, so then after the first award I stood up and no-one else did. It was embarrassing... It was awkward."

Chris Brown given five weeks to resolve community service dispute
June 11, 2013 11:04am ESTR&B star Chris Brown has been given five weeks to resolve his dispute with prosecutors over allegations he provided poor documentation of his court-ordered community service hours. Prosecutors claim the Kiss Kiss hitmaker lied about serving his 180 days of community labour in Virginia by misreporting his hours after they allegedly found a number of inconsistencies in a write-up prepared by police officers in Richmond. Brown, who was handed the punishment as part of his conviction for his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna, vehemently denied the accusations and appeared in court in April (13) for a probation review hearing in Los Angeles. His lawyers won a continuance on the case after requesting more time to review new evidence, and on Monday (10Jun13) a U.S. judge urged both parties to reach a settlement or return on 15 July (13) for a preliminary violation hearing.

Chris Brown's representative clarifies car crash story
May 28, 2013 4:49am ESTA representative for R&B star Chris Brown has denied reports the singer failed to give correct information to a fellow motorist after a fender bender in California last week (21May13). The Kiss Kiss hitmaker accidentally hit another car while driving through Beverly Hills with on-again girlfriend Karrueche Tran, and online reports suggested Brown refused to give his insurance details to the other driver. Brown, who is currently on probation for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, was also rumoured to be facing an investigation from officers at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) over the incident. However, a representative for the singer has vehemently denied the story, telling U.S. showbiz website Accesshollywood.com that Brown exchanged the correct information with the female motorist. The spokesperson also insisted Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, has not been contacted by police officers regarding the crash and that the attorney contacted the woman within an hour of the accident to make sure she had the correct details.

May 27, 2013 11:54pm ESTSinger Chris Brown has taken aim at his managers, branding them "incompetent" over a mix-up with his new music. The Kiss Kiss star informed his Twitter.com fans on Monday night (27May13) that the release date of his upcoming single had been moved, and he launched into a rant against bosses at his management company. In a series of posts, he writes, "My management is so incompetent at times that they don't communicate. So... Blame these wack (bad) n**gas for the release being moved. I'll keep yall (you all) posted. They got me looking crazy. Video/single will be released soon. Not gonna tell y'all (sic) an exact date becuz (because) I keep getting false info." Brown did not specify which release was affected by the mix-up, but he recently filmed a music video in tribute to Aaliyah. His song reportedly features a sample of Don't Think They Know, a previously-released track recorded by the late R&B singer, who died in 2001.

Amanda Bynes slams Rihanna on Twitter
May 26, 2013 8:48pm ESTEmbattled actress Amanda Bynes stunned fans on Sunday (26May13) by taking aim at Rihanna in a string of shocking Twitter.com messages. The Hairspray star, who was arrested in New York City on Thursday (23May13) after cops allegedly found drugs at her home, took to her page on the site to fire off a tweet mocking the Umbrella hitmaker's appearance. She stated, "Rihanna you look so ugly tryin (sic) to be white." Bynes then referenced the singer's infamous 2009 fight with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, which left her bloodied and bruised, adding, "Chris brown beat you because you're not pretty enough." She continued, "Rihanna no one wants to be your lover so you call everyone and their mother that I almost named my new dog Rihanna." It is unknown if the Bajan beauty saw the tweets, but she later wrote on the site, "Ya see what happens when they cancel Intervention?" - a nod to recently cancelled U.S. show Intervention, which helps addicts address their issues. However, Bynes shot back at the message, writing, "unlike ur (your) fugly (f**king ugly) faced self I don't do drugs! U need the intervention dog! I met ur ugly face in person! U aren't pretty u know it!" The tweets by Bynes have since been deleted. The 27 year old's messages came just a day after she took to the site to claim she was mistreated by one of the cops who arrested her on Thursday. Police have launched an investigation into the allegations. Bynes was charged on suspicion of marijuana possession, attempted tampering with physical evidence and reckless endangerment, after allegedly throwing a bong out of the window of her 36th-storey apartment in Manhattan.
