Rihanna’s love objective
Feb 3, 2010 Rihanna
Despite having been seen with a number of dates recently and spawning ever a greater number of rumors about her status, Rihanna still maintains that she is currently single but that she does hope she will find true love at some point in her life. This is what Rihanna said on the matter: “I’m not dating anyone – I’m single. I’m hoping to find love before I’m 30, which is almost a decade away. Even when I was in a relationship, I always have gone alone.” Well, isn’t this an interesting new development? Matt Kemp’s bad reputations must have really bitten him in his more delicate parts. Oh well, the quest continues for Rihanna.

Fantasia Wins an Award
Jan 18, 2010 American Idol, Rihanna
Fantasia Barrino rocked the house when she performed at the Barbados Music Awards recently. The 25-year old American Idol season 3 champion took home the International Award of Excellence at the show. The singer also performed an hour long set including ‘Free Yourself’, ‘When I See You’ and even performed Barbados beauty Rihanna’s hit song ‘Umbrella’. Who knew that Fantasia could still book singing gigs, much less win awards for her music? How could she even win that award when she doesn’t have much to boast about excelling about? Either Barbados is way behind on the times or they couldn’t get anyone else to show up.

Rihanna Flirts with Kanye West
Dec 25, 2009 Kanye West, Rihanna
After Chris Brown, you would think that Rihanna would know to stay away from douche bags. However, according to a spy, the Barbadian singer was outrageously flirting with Kanye West at Whisky Mist in London last week. The source said “When Kanye came in, he immediately gave her a huge hug and kiss, and sat down with her. The pair was chatting at length, ignoring everyone else.” It could easily be waved off as a friendly gesture, but soon after, Rihanna was reportedly giving the rapper the benefit of a very private lap dance. In the name of Amber Rose, let this be not true!

Rihanna Talks New Video
Dec 10, 2009 Music, Music Artists, Music Videos, Rihanna
Rihanna recently filmed a new music video for her song ‘Hard’. The 21-year old singer described the video as being “couture military”. The Barbadian beauty also told MTV about the project, saying “We got tanks, we got troops, helicopters, explosions, tight gear, lots of cute outfits, lots of bullets. Crazy!” She was right about the cute outfits. There are clips of Rihanna wearing a military helmet made to look like Mickey Mouse ears! I wonder when the video will be premiering. I can’t wait to see how it comes out. She’s obviously going for something a little harsher than what we’re used to seeing from her.

Rihanna Talks Estranged Father
Dec 4, 2009 Chris Brown, Concert, Famous People, Rihanna
Rihanna and her dad haven’t been in contact for about a year and the singer revealed that she’s tried to get in touch, only to get no response. When reports surfaced recently that the Barbadian babe’s dad has been making efforts for a reconciliation, Rihanna said “That sounds very strange to me, seeing as I’ve been the one trying to reconcile with him forever…He has my number.” The two had a falling out after her dad got drunk while on tour with her and created an even larger gap when he spoke out to the media during the whole Chris Brown fiasco back in February.

Rihanna Celebrates Album Release
Dec 1, 2009 Diddy, Fabolous, Jay-Z, Rihanna
Rihanna released her latest album ‘Rated R’ last week and the celebration for it was definitely a night packed with stars as celebrities attended a party to celebrate with the Barbadian babe. Guests included the likes of Jay-Z, Diddy, Fabolous and many others. But all eyes were definitely on the singer as she was looking gorgeous! As for her album, Rihanna said “This album is an expression of all those feelings that I went through in the last eight months, just different emotions. All of it isn’t angry, all of it isn’t dark and sad, ’cause I didn’t go through that the whole time. That was part of it. It was really a roller-coaster, and you get that when you’re listening to the album.”

Halle Berry Talks Rihanna
Nov 25, 2009 Chris Brown, Rihanna
Halle Berry is no stranger to domestic abuse, having dealt with the abuse against her mother by her father, as well as an abusive relationship in the past. That being said, the actress shared some thoughts on the incident between Rihanna and Chris Brown. Halle said “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.” In related news, Halle recently helped launch photographer Mark Liddell’s book ‘Exposed: 10 Years in Hollywood’, in which some of the proceeds will go towards the Jenesse Center, a domestic violence organization.

Chipmunk back on the show
Nov 18, 2009 Chipmunk, Rihanna
After the disturbing twitter messages and the brake he finally took with the permission of his managers, it seems Chipmunk is back on track as he recently performed live during Rihanna’s latest appearance in London. Chipmunk said the following about coming back to the stage: “I’m on a trip back to normality. I’m in good health and it’s all good. Things got a bit crazy and I needed to take a break to sort my head out but I feel better already.” Right, and getting the chance to open for Rihanna’s performance had nothing to do with it, right? He’s a smart one, that Chipmunk!
Rihanna Performs Live
Nov 13, 2009 Concert, Jay-Z, Rihanna
Rihanna’s comeback seems to be in full swing as the singer made a surprise appearance at Jay-Z’s concert at UCLA last Sunday. The performance marks the first time in a very long time that the Barbadian singer sang live. And mind you, she sounded absolutely amazing. Rihanna took the stage just in time for her collaboration with the rapper on ‘Run This Town’. Rihanna also had a solo performance of her new song ‘Hard’. That should get her comeback going. I just think that she still needs to up the ante regarding her new music because her singles are mediocre at best.

Chris Brown Gets Interview Too
Nov 9, 2009 Chris Brown, Concert, MTV, Rihanna
To counteract Rihanna’s interview with Diane Sawyer, Chris Brown also took the time to tell his own side of the story with MTV’s Sway. During the interview, the R&B singer talks about the struggle to adapt to the public’s new perception of him and how fans might react towards him at his concerts. Chris goes on to talk about his on-going anger management therapy, court-mandated weekly group sessions and his community labor sentence. He says that all of those things helped him evaluate his past behavior and express his feelings in his new songs. It’s not like anyone’s going to watch and buy whatever he has to say.

Rihanna Continues to Disappoint
Rihanna’s second single ‘Wait Your Turn’ has recently hit the internet and it is even worse than her first single ‘Russian Roulette’. I love the Barbadian singer to death but I am hating her new music. The two songs that I’ve heard thus far just give me the indication that her upcoming album may end up being a dud. Seriously, what was she thinking? The second single sounds like it was poorly produced, annoying and lackluster. I didn’t think that she can do any wrong considering her monster of an album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ but I guess I was wrong if this is what she has to offer off of ‘Rated R’.
Chris Brown is still a bit clingy
Oct 21, 2009 Chris Brown, Rihanna
The rapper who hasn’t shown much of his face since his incident with Rihanna was part of a rather interesting coincidence yesterday. Only hours away from when his former girlfriend’s single got on the internet, Chris Brown wrote on tweeter that his “first show back” will be next week at Power’s 105 Powerhouse. Must be one of those low-attendance venues he spoke of a few weeks back. Looks like the two are both back in business… maybe they’ll even get back together since Justin Timberlake’s probably going to be letting go of Rihanna for a bit and what woman could resist a dominating, imposing figure like Chris Brown?

Wrigley Completely Done with Chris Brown
Sep 11, 2009 Chris Brown, Rihanna
Wrigley is formally terminating their relationship with Chris Brown. The chewing gum company had previously suspended their campaign with the R&B singer in February after the assault on Rihanna, saying they “believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen.” But after pleading guilty to felony assault last month, Wrigley has given Chris the permanent boot. The singer may have dodged doing hard time in jail but losing endorsements would seem to be a harder hit as he fails to earn money. He should really start thinking of other fallback careers by now. I doubt that he’s going to last any longer.

Chris Brown Doesn’t Remember Hitting Rihanna
Sep 3, 2009 Chris Brown, Rihanna
Chris Brown opened up to CNN’s Larry King in an exclusive interview. It was the singer’s first television interview since he was arrested for the assault on Rihanna. The 20-year old R&B singer admitted that he was still in love with the Barbadian beauty and that he will be affected if she decides to date other men. He was shown a photo of Rihanna’s bruised face and he said “When I look at it now, it’s just like, wow, like, I can’t — I can’t believe that — that actually happened.” Chris also said that he’s now focused on moving forward, saying “I just need to prove to people I can be a role model. That’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be. I made a mistake and I — and it was just something I have to live up and own.”

New Jay-Z Video
Aug 21, 2009 Jay-Z, Kanye West, MTV, MTV VMA, Rihanna
There’s a new trailer that recently came out for the video of Rihanna, Kanye West and Jay-Z’s new song ‘Run This Town’. Jay-Z said “The song is about evolution and the progress. You start out as a new artist and you make your way into the game. You climb that mountain and you get to the top and you put your flag down. This is us putting our flag down. This is Roc Nation. Pledge your allegiance. You’ve got to put your flag at the top of the mountain and say we run this town.” The trio of singers and rappers will perform the song on NBC’s The Jay Leno Show on September 14. It’s also being said that they will also perform a day before the show at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Rihanna on Jay Leno’s New Show
Aug 13, 2009 Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rihanna
Rihanna will be making her comeback performance on the premiere night of NBC’s The Jay Leno Show on September 14. This will be her first ever performance ever since she was assaulted back in February. The 21-year old Barbadian singer, along with rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West, will perform ‘Run This Town’ from Jay-Z’s new album ‘The Blueprint 3’ which will hit stores on September 11. E! also reports that The Jay Leno show is close to securing Tom Cruise to participate in his new segment ‘The Green Car Challenger’ wherein celebrities race each other in alternative-fuel vehicles. That sounds interesting.
