Rihanna confirms Chris Brown bit her during brutal assault

When is abuse justified? Well Rihanna has finally spoken out about her abuse from Chris Brown that was only exposed on February 7, 2009 in a bitter feud that was by far the biggest abuse scandal on 2009. Their whole fight tore Hollywood and the entertainment industry into taking sides with one or the other. With talkshow queen Oprah going on a rampage telling Rihanna that: "When a man hits you once he will hit you again."Actor Jamie Fox said: "No man should ever put their hands on you." And fans poured out their messages telling her she deserved better and needs to leave and not stay but to save herself from a death sentence. Her father flew to her rescue to speak to Brown and release Riri from the situation, but in this interview it turns out that her father is not as "heroic" as the role he played in the debacle because according to his daughter "he used to abuse her mother too". "He used to beat her, I swore never to date or be with a man

Joelle Kayembe called a murderour?

Enter, Joelle Kayembe, one of the hottest women in Africa, with a body to die for, lips that make white women get botox and one hell a bikini shape that sed men on a frenzy. Despite the beauty she is now tangled in a bitter court case with her lover Bongani Mbindwane, with whom she was traditionally married to. In SA courts traditional marrieges are not recongised unless registered in law, but since she did not do that with her beau, she could loose a battle where she is demanding him to pay for her house, cellphone contract, credit card and more. And there is no telling if she will get these things, since the man is fighting her tooth-and-nail for her not to get what she wants. READ from Sunday Times : Joelle Kayembe, one of South Africa's sexiest women, thought she was the luckiest woman on earth when businessman Bongani Mbindwane proposed. Now - just a year after their traditional wedding ceremony - Mbindwane wants her out of his life and denies they were ever married... On Sep

Ofcourse these pics look almost identical with slight differences of that being the other is South African L'Vovo Derrango and the other being hip-hop mogul Jay-Z. I found myself in a concersation with friends about these CD covers with friends over drinks in a restaurant and some interesting points came up. Sure the guy did copy the heavy weight's cover and even got into trouble with Jay-Z's Universal Reocrds local distrubutors who ordered him to sack the cover or risk the chance of being sued. REMEMBER this article: Kwaito heavyweight L’Vovo Derrango, real name Thokozani Ndlovu, has been dealt a heavy blow for trying to be a carbon copy of US rap heavyweight Jay-Z. According to Sunday World reports, L’Vovo’s new album The Heavyweight will be pulled from the shelves because he copied the artistic work of Jay-Z’s American Gangster on the sleeve of his album. The decision to yank the muso’s album was sparked by a complaint sent to his record label EMI/CCP by Jay-Z’s local re

Local celebrities are living the high life, and it is getting them in trouble with the law. Soapie heart-throb Clint Brink and hip-hop singer Ishmael Morabe from the group Jozi appeared in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on charges of possession of drugs, while sports commentator Dumile Mateza appeared in the same court after being caught allegedly driving drunk.

Are we that pathetic of supporters that we don't show love for our own local artists? Why is it that when international stars grace our shores we are quick to flood the stadiums and events just to see them perform, yet when one of our own people does a show we are not even interested in going to the event? Guys lets go out there in numbers and support South African Music and the artists. My goodness, you have to read this to believe it. READ: What was supposed to be a fundraising jazz gig turned into a disaster that left a bad taste in the mouth of well-known musician Abigail Kubheka , who was forced to perform for only 11 people. The Jazz at the River event started off on a bad note at the Orient Theatre on Saturday evening when two of the headline artists – PJ Powers and Thandi Klaasen – did not pitch up because of health problems. Then Kubheka , her band and local singer Retsi Pule were forced to wait for hours to do a sound check, which never happened.
