Rihanna finally comes out from hiding

Image
Rihanna is back on the scenes. After being shuttled to various locations over the past two weeks to protect her privacy,  the 21-year-old star was photographed this weekend on the beach in Punta Mita, Mexico. She previously logged short stints in  Los Angeles  and her native  Barbados . Photos of her  south-of-the-border sojourn first ran in today's print edition of the   New York Daily News  were showed all over the net as she seemed to have recovered and healed from all the scaring caused by Chris Brown. She does not appear to show any of the bruising that was so clearly visible in her  leaked police photo . The images were reportedly snapped at a private villa on Saturday, a day after she celebrated her milestone birthday in L.A. Aside from a few  backseat shots , it's the first time Rihanna's been photographed in public since the  Feb. 8 altercation  with  Chris Brown that left her hospitalized. Yesterday the L.A. district attorney's office said the  investigation

EMINEM, thought he was long gone off the scenes!

Image
OMG why is it that when you think famous people are gone off the limelight they always seem to find their way back into the spotlight, all for making money. Well here is Eminem and he is back only because he is suing a rich company for moola for his digital royalties. Thought he was long gone off the seens. Two years ago, Eminem’s publishing company FBT Productions filed a lawsuit for $1.6m against Universal Music Group over digital royalties. This case could re-define digital royalties as we (and many artists who feel duped) understand them. The case finally went to trial this week. In an interview with Wrap magazine, one of Eminem’s lawyers explained that, "If you give the music to a third party without cost to you, like manufacturing or packaging, that's the same as a licensing agreement, [Universal] are characterising it as something else." This case will make history in the music industry, despite the turnout. The rapid growth of the Internet has changed the way art

Image
Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez and her hubby Marc Anthony showed off their twins Max & Emme for $6million to People magazine. Jennifer Lopez will be the envy of Long Island when she’s out and about with her new baby twins, thanks to the two beautiful Onyx Black Silver Cross Balmoral prams she has taken for the pair. Silver Cross was invited to the world exclusive first photoshoot of the new Lopez twins. Little Maximiano and Emelina (Max & Emme) will enjoy the greatest comfort in the iconic British classics that Jennifer ordered from exclusive baby boutique Petit Tresor. The twins were pictured recently at home with their proud mum and dad, along with their beautiful new hand made Silver Cross carriages. The babies are the first children for pop diva Lopez, and the fourth and fifth for her partner, salsa songwriter and singer, Marc Anthony. If only I was that famous so when I had my kids I would sell a picture of them for that much money.

"Now I aint saying she a gold digger , she just aint messing with no broke niggas "- Kanye West couldn't have said it with his hit tune Gold digger as I think of Miss Kimora Lee Simmonds and her new life in the fab lane. When you think that she will take a break from the endless shopping sprees with or without her two daughters, you see her out in stores with her baby bump all over the place. In  March 2007, Lee Simmons began dating two-time Academy Award-nominated actor and Calvin Klein model  Djimon Honsou , 44, now she is spreading the love of her kids apart from her ex. They have been spotted cruising the streets and designer stores of LA and other towns shopping like its getting out of fashion. Meanwhile, Simmons has been spotted spreading his "love" across various international beaches with young model types. To top it all off Lee, also just  presented her fall 2009 collection of Baby Phat during fashion week in New York City, also launching her

Tiger Wood's bundle of joy is so cute...

Image
For 8 months , Pro Golfer Tiger Woods has been home nursing a knee injury. Although he admits that he “[misses] that rush of playing and competing” and that it has been “frustrating” not being able to play golf for eight months, Tiger says that his knee injury was a blessing in disguise. “It was a blessing in disguise to have an opportunity just to see Sam grow that fast and that much,” he said at a news conference Tuesday. “As players, you travel so much that I would have missed a lot of that, so I was very lucky there.” He adds: “I didn’t realize how much I loved being home and being around Sam and E and now Charlie. I mean, I’ll tell you what, that’s something that is just so important to me.” As Tiger prepares to go back to work on Wednesday(he plays WGC Accenture Match Play Championship in Marana, Ariz.,)  at least he will have the memories of having so much fun ” with his wife Elin, daughter Sam, 2, and newborn son Charlie Axel Woods.

Russell Simmons has leant never to go for the cheap chicks anymore. LOL!

Image
Everyone who is anyone knows billionaire clothing mogul Russell Simmons, and of coarse we all know that he was almost swept clean when he bitterly divorced his gold digger wife Kimora Lee Simmons .  Kimora who is now s ix months pregnant and is having a baby boy with Black Diamonds actor Djimon , is the mother to two of Russell's daughters, Ming,6, and Aoki ,9. Well she  wont be happy to hear that her dear Russy (as she calls him), has a new girlfriend and he is taking her everywhere. Her name is Julie Henderson and guess what she comes from a good family. Her grandfather Samuel Henderson invented the Henderson grapefruit in the 1960's and built an empire in Texas . She has been modeling for the past 7 years and is an accomplished Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue favorite appearing in the issue 3 years in a row. Just when she thought she had his heart, wallet and his soul, she was beaten with a bat on her head.  It goes to show you cant always hold on to loose apron stri

Beyonce's baby sis' Solange is in hospital!

Image
On Tuesday,  Solange Knowles  known best as Beyonce's sister, was rushed to the hospital after the singer fainted at the airport on her way home from New York Fashion Week. The singer, who was hospitalized for dehydration and low blood pressure, announced the news on Twitter. "Woke up to 8 random people over me, laid out on the floor in baggage claim!" Knowles posted on  her Twitter page  Wednesday (February 18). "Guess I passed out! Scary. Hooked up to IV now. Apparently I'm super dehydrated." Beyoncé's little sister said she began to feel ill after she took some cough medicine. "I took a Nyquil, and I think maybe I'm getting high off it because I'm not sleeping," she wrote. "Everything's movvvvviinnngg slooooowww, LOL." Solange's mom, Tina, visited her at the hospital before she was released. "My mom is the best. LOL," Knowles wrote. "She's like, Ain't nothing wrong with this girl. She need s

Look how HOT Kanye West's girlfriend is...

Image
The two stepped out as a couple this Fashion Week, cuddling at Nur Khan’s Rose Bar on Tuesday night and attending Narciso Rodriguez and Alexandre Herchcovitch’s fashion shows together. Although Kanye’s newest squeeze has done some nudie modeling (most recently in Smooth mag), the singer doesn’t just dig her for her bangin’ bod. “She’s going to be good for him,” an insider confides. “Amber is a model with a fly, out-there, in-your-face style and attitude, just like Kanye. She’s his match.” The source adds, “Traveling with Kanye can be rough — press swarms him wherever he goes — but Amber is cool and collected about it all. She doesn’t care about industry stuff, and she actually understands Kanye.”

Leaked pics of Rihanna are being investigated...

Image
I knew all the hype about the bruised and battered Rihanna pics on TMZ was too good to be true as the site payed some ruthless cop over R5million to leak the pics. The Los Angeles Police Department is still trying to plug its leak. The  internal investigation  launched last week into who provided TMZ.com with a photo of  Rihanna  that was taken after she was  allegedly assaulted  by  Chris Brown  is still underway, E! News confirmed Tuesday. "They said they were looking into it vigorously," LAPD spokesman Lt. John Romero said, referring to a statement made by an Internal Affairs commander at a meeting earlier in the day. "We are not talking about the protocols because it will relate to this investigation," he said, unwilling to divulge further details about investigative procedure. A law-enforcement sources say that police have identified the computer they believe to be the one from which the photo originated, although they have not figured out who transferred the

Thabs and Thuba say goodbye on Idols

Image
Thabs Kgoroeadira (20) from Johannesburg and Thuba Myeki (18) from P.E. are the first two Idols voted out by public vote in Idols Season V. Viewers voted for 24 hours since the start of last night’s [Sunday, 22 February] Top 14 Studio Round until five minutes into tonight’s show. And when the votes were tallied tonight, Thabs and Thuba had the fewest votes, and so had to go. The tension in the studio was palpable when Idols host Liezel called Ntsepa to the stage, but it turned out to be a red herring and Ntsepa was safe. Then Liezel divided the Top 14 into two groups – one group was safe and another was in danger of going home. So when Liezel called Thabs’ name, she already knew that the news would probably be bad. After saying goodbye to Thabs, Daniel, Thuba, Suzzi and Jason were still in the hot seat. They seemed ready to faint as Liezel methodically reminded them what the judges said about their performances Sunday. But South Africa had voted and Thuba became

Celebrity Apprentice with the Trumps

Image
The Celebrity Apprentice 2  is here and the celebs that are entering it are no suprise to most music and celeb fans in the world. As you might know R&B singer Brian McKnight, the hot T-Boz of TLC and the notoriously studded and tattoed Dennis Rodman, are part of the cast of this Apprentice. They will be judged by the bilionaire estate businessman Donald trump with his children Ivanka and Donald Jnr, as his eyes and ears when they carry out their group tasks. They are all playing for charities and whatever they make on tasks will be given to their charities accordingly. Its a nice way of giving back I must say. Wonder who will stand the test and be The Celeb Apprentice. Pity cause we will only see this probably in 2011 if not next year. Oh well!

MetroFM Heatwave was a must do gig of the weekend!

Image
The MetroFM Heatwave hit Jozi by storm at the Innesfree Park in Sandton this weekend. I was there, so were many other picnic lovers of Jozi . I got to party with the Top 14 Idols wannabes, the poor things had no VIP access, but I hope they know that this is just a prep for them to make it to the list of VIPs in future. They looked awfully relaxed for people that had to be cut to Top 12 tonight. Read more on who was there and who was not on BYT . http://blogs.thetimes.co.za/beautifulyoungthings/
