Sultry songstress Rihanna was the next popular person on Oprah‘s to-do list for her “Next Chapter” series, which aired last night (August 19, 2012) on The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).
The 24-year-old performer spoke with the media mogul while giving her a tour of her hometown in Barbados.
Rihanna spoke of her loves for abusive ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, although she never admitted that the two are still seeing each other in secret.
“We love each other and we probably always will, and that’s not anything that we’re going to try to change,” Rihanna told Oprah. She confessed that it’s hard to see him:
“It’s awkward because I still love him. My stomach drops and I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me. I have to maintain that and suppress it.”

While my last post was a long read, I know I omitted a few things. One in particular was “family friend Linda Brock-White who testified against Tameka last Wednesday just days after returning from a family vacation with the grieving mom and her boys.

As Love & Hip Hop Atlanta (aka “As the Hood Turns”) draws to a close, a few cast members are making it known that there are some “real life” issues going on behind the scenes.
One of which is Rasheeda and Wassername… (that ratchet chick from Memphis who keeps talmbout how she got a beatdown by an “industry dude”).

‘Wassername” is supposed to be some kinda poster child for domestic violence (insert side-eye), but contrary to her cause, she seems pretty violent herself.
I’ve been told that ‘Wassername” even threatened ME on some ratchet song she released after the first episode of LHHATL, hoping that it would get her on StraightFromTheA. The joke was on her when it didn’t.
[Sidebar: I should actually send her a gift basket being that she gave ME way more press than I gave her… but I digress… ]
Rasheeda posted a long, detailed “open letter” to Wassername where she called ol’ girl stories of domestic violence fraudulent…. and Sheeda’s not the only one who feels that Wassername is fulla sh*t.
Add at least 3 more to the list…? Toya Wright, Kandi Burruss, and another well-known songstress.
Check out what Rasheeda’s “open letter” to Wassername + peep who else is siding with the boss chick… Continue Reading…
Michael Phelps could be in deep doo doo with the International Olympic Committee after a few racy photos of the swimmer surfaced recently.
One leaked pic features Phelps sitting in a tub filled with water in his speedos (tame considering some of the butt models we see everyday), but the photos, reportedly part of a Louis Vuitton campaign shot by Amy Liebovitz, could possibly jeopardize the medals Phelps won in the 2012 Olympic games in London!

That “retro chic” style is incredible and we continue to see influences of the time period even in today’s fashions.
The classic film about three teenagers from Harlem who set their sights on making musical history in Motown has been brought back to life and it’s remake will be significant in more ways than one.
a.) Sparkle is Whitney Houston‘s last film. The actress/singer passed away only three months after production ended on the Salim Akil-directed project.
b.) Sparkle marks the acting debut of American Idol Jordin Sparks.
Houston and Sparks star in the film alongside Derek Luke, Mike Epps, Cee Lo Green, Carmen Ejogo, Tika Sumpter, Tamela Mann and Omari Hardwick.
Check out a few photos of the cast rocking retro fashions from the highly anticipated film + watch the SPARKLE official movie trailer below… Continue Reading…
