Okay. Now I feel a little better about loving Chris Brown’s new song.
Rihanna
Jay-Z’s much-anticipated new song from his upcoming album “The Blueprint 3″ should be debuted this Friday, July 24. Titled “Run This Town”, Jay Z reportedly teams up with two of our personal favorites, Rihanna and Kanye West.
i say “should” and “reportedly” because Hot 106 reported on their web site: “JUST GOT WORD: New Jay-Z single coming this Friday called Run This Town with Kanye West and Rihanna!”.
Hours later however, the website took down the post without explanation. That leaves you wondering. They either got it very, very wrong or they got it very, very right.
My fingers are crossed for right.
Reportedly in order to avoid Internet leaks, the new album will be delivered personally by Jay Z to his record label, Atlantic Records. Why hasn’t anyone else ever thought of that?
Rihanna will be working with The All-American Rejects’ vocalist Tyson Ritter in her upcoming studio album, according to SRP Music Group. In addition to Tyson, she’ll also be working with Stargate, James Fauntleroy, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and The-Dream.
Although the new project hasn’t been officially titled yet, some say it will be called “Rated R” and will be available for purchasing this fall. Previously according to Rihanna-Diva, Rihanna was rumored to go rock but will keep the R&B tune by mixing the rock materials with pop sounds.
Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Kanye West, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, Soulja Boy, Shontelle and Pharrell Williams are expected to contribute to this new album as well.
In other news, Rihanna grabbed two prizes at 2009 Urban Music Awards which was held on July 17 at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. She was named Best Female Act, and her music video for single “Rehab” won Best Music Video.
Very well deserved honors.
According to Media Take Out, Rihanna is shopping around for a reality show. It seems she’d like to share her fascinating life with her fans and believes that a reality show would be the perfect venue.
According to an insider, cameras will follow Rihanna into the recording studio, when she’s hanging out with her friends and even when she goes on dates. Sources say that it’ll be sort of like Entourage – but from the female prospective.
So hoping this is a real deal. Can you imagine?!
Rihanna, Lady GaGa, and Kanye West are all intertwined in the news this week – and since they’re 3 of my very favorites, I’m all over it!
Rihanna made her live comeback this week, at a fashion event in New York.
She performed two impromptu songs with her friend Kanye West at the Costume Institute Gala.
An eyewitness tells E! Online: “Kanye asked her to do it. It was his idea, but (Vogue editor / event organizer) Anna Wintour obviously had to approve it.”
Lady GaGa has said that Kanye West’s remix of ‘Poker Face’ is “exactly what the song is about“.
She dismissed fans’ claims that West, Kid Cudi and Common’s version gives the song a different meaning than she intended it to have.
In fact, in an interview with MTV News, Lady GaGa said: “It’s funny, because a lot of my fans were like, ‘GaGa, Kanye wrote a song…and it’s not about what your record’s about. Your record is about gambling. And this song is about dirty things’,” she said.
“I said to them, ‘You’re wrong. Kanye was right’.”
“It was really exciting that he had so much insight into what the song was about,” GaGa added.
Lady GaGa also spoke about how excited she was about Madonna attending one of her shows in New York. Yeah, I guess!
The gorgeous pictures of Rihanna in the post are from May 4, 2009: “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I LOVE the strong “I’m back” statement she’s making with the clothes, the stance, and the direct eye contact with the camera. She looks amazing and it’s great to see her back.

Someone passed the following information along to me. As a Rihanna fan, I came here to post it the minute I opened the e-mail. I only wish I could plaster it all over the internet!
Rihanna fans are preparing to shred Chris Brown posters, pictures, cds, etc. Sweet!
New York is having a “Shred Your Ex” party the day before Valentines Day. Radio Station WBLI has invited members of Rihanna’s Fan Club and other fans across the nation to join the pop star’s side along with others who are “unlucky in love.”
According to Nancy Cambino, the station’s operations manager, “Valentine’s Day should stand for love so we find it fitting to make the Friday the 13th right before Valentine’s Day a day for revenge for those who were unlucky in love. Whether you’re a Rihanna fan or not, we can all empathize with being with someone who caused love to go wrong.”
Statistically 40 percent of America will be alone on Valentines Day. Divorce rate is at an all-time high in the last few years, and radio station BLI wants to bring America together for a common cause.
WHEN: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13TH
10:30am
WHERE: THE BLI STUDIOS
555 SUNRISE HIGHWAY
WEST BABYLON, NY
Rhianna Friends, supporters, fans and those who were unlucky in love will be invited to come to the BLI Studios in New York on Friday, the 13th with photos, letters or other mementos from ex-lovers to shred in the wood chipper!
I’ll say right up front that none of us know what was going on inside the car or inside his head, so we can’t even begin to understand, but Chris Brown apparently assaulted girlfriend Rihanna last night and has been arrested. TMZ reports that she had visible injuries, including bite marks.
Classy, Chris. Incredibly classy.
Neither one, obviously, made their expected Grammy appearances. People speculated that there’d been a car wreck – but ironically the wreck was inside the car.
Apparently, Chris threatened her life on top of abusing her. He’s being charged with Criminal Threats which could carry a 9 year sentence. While I don’t see that happening, I’d say that he has lost a lot of fans and a lot of respect.
Having said that, we don’t have the complete story. The only thing is, nothing at all would justify this.
Hopefully Rihanna will recover completely and rapidly. She deserves better than this.
The picture above was taken the night before Chris Brown’s arrest.
I normally don’t post a lot of gossip, because with live wires like Britney Spears, Lil Wayne, Akon, Fergie, and Kanye West – the truth is far more interesting than conjecture.
However, I couldn’t pass this one up. It involves one of my favorite people, little Miss Sunshine, Rihanna.
Rumors are that X Factor winner, Alexandra Burke wanted to meet Rihanna’s boyfriend, Chris Brown. Apparently, like most people, Miss Burke is a huge fan. So, word is that Rihanna basically said, “Uh, no.”
You know how gossip goes – it’s just as likely to be true as not true. But from where I sit, I don’t think Rihanna would have even the tiniest reason to be jealous of Alexandra Burke, or anyone for that matter. In fact, in today’s news stories, there are accounts of Rihanna laughing as her man dirty dances on stage with other girls.
Doesn’t strike me as an insecure girl. I’d say that if the meeting didn’t happen, it wasn’t Rihanna’s fault. Come on, it’s just not that easy to meet someone like Chirs Brown!
