Rihanna in Mexico

Celebrities: ,


With no visible bruises from her alleged beat down from Chris Brown, Rihanna spent last weekend down in Punta Mita, Mexico relaxing in the sun.


Beside thatm,after multiple reports of Rihanna being in hiding, appearing recently for her 21st birthday in L.A. and possibly being pregnant at the time of an alleged assault by boyfriend and singer Chris Brown, the singer now has appeared under the Mexico sun all glazed and oiled wearing a bikini and looking quite beautiful in the Mexican town of Punta Mita.

A source said that Rihanna is vacationing with her closest friends in a private oceanfront villa in Punta Mita in honor of her 21st birthday.


According to witnesses, the injuries she sustained from her altercation with Chris Brown were not visible on her face.

The New York Daily News reports, "The shocking bruises that sources say boyfriend Chris Brown left on the songbird's face just before the Grammy Awards were not visible...Nor was she smiling."

Photographed by paparazzi in Mexico you can visibly see no marks on Rihanna in the bikini photographs taken, but one may say makeup artists can do wonderful things. Though Rihanna looked lovely and, as if she just stepped out the pool due to her wet hair and glimmering body, the star had a somewhat sad and depressed look on her face. Meanwhile, reports are circulating that Chris Brown’s March 5th court date may be pushed up due to lack of evidence by investigators and, in other news, the singer has been losing endorsement deals and his songs have been losing rotation on radio stations due to the photo of Rihanna that was leaked by TMZ.

Meanwhile, Chris' court date may be postponed so the DA can gather more evidence for the case.

Chris has remained in seclusion, no one has seen him since the altercation. He is however reportedly taking anger management classes in Glendale, Ca.

Nicole Kidman pregnant again ???

Celebrities: ,


Is Nicole Kidman pregnant again already?


The 41-year-old actress and once-again redhead seemed to be sporting a slight protuberance around her midsection while promoting her epic (and epic flop) Australia with co-star Hugh Jackman at the movie's premiere in Tokyo.

Kidman gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose last July, and seemed to relish the whole pregnancy experience, so it's entirely possible that she's going full-speed ahead with Baby Number Two.

After her first marriage to Tom Cruise and a devastating miscarriage, Nicole Kidman married the man of her dreams, Keith Urban, and hoped for a child.

The actress fell pregnant and was infinitely thankful for her healthy pregnancy. She said if she were to get pregnant again, that would be wonderful - but she was thankful to have just one child.

Well, now it looks like Nicole Kidman may be pregnant again after sporting what appears to be a baby bump in Japan at the premiere of 'Australia'.

'Scared' Chris Brown receives death threats

Celebrities: ,

R&B chart-topper Chris Brown has reportedly received death threats after a photograph of a bruised and battered woman believed to be Rihanna was leaked onto the internet.
The 19-year-old singer - who is accused of threatening a woman earlier this month - has been left fearing for his life after receiving a series of menacing messages following the photo's publication.
A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: "Chris is scared. Not only has he probably lost his career and his girlfriend, but he's also fearing for his security and his life.
"The photo was the last straw. The threats started pouring in the moment that appeared."
Rihanna, 21, has allegedly told police Chris beat her, choked her until she passed out and threatened to kill her during an argument in Los Angeles.
Chris has been charged with making criminal threats and released on $50,000 bail and is being investigated for other felonies including domestic violence and assault resulting in great bodily injury.
The source added: "He faces criminal charges and possible jail time, but he's going to have to deal with Rihanna's legion of fans and her close-knit friends in the industry."
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has confirmed it is still investigating how the photograph - a close up of a young woman's face with cuts on her lips, bruises to her cheeks and forehead and a swollen nose - was leaked.
LAPD spokesman Lieutenant John Romero said: "They said they were looking into it vigorously. We are not talking about the protocols because it will relate to this investigation."
Although the LAPD has not formally identified the woman in the picture as Rihanna, they have admitted the picture appears to have been taken "during an official domestic violence investigation".

Angelina Jolie and Jeniffer Aniston shared the red carpet

Celebrities: ,

While Slumdog Millionaire piled up the Oscars Sunday night, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston defied expectations and piled on the smiles – as their dual appearance at Hollywood's night of nights was as smooth as the silk gowns that filled the Kodak Theatre.


Jolie, of course, attended with her partner and fellow nominee, Brad Pitt, while his ex-wife, Aniston, was accompanied by her boyfriend, John Mayer. Pitt and Jolie told PEOPLE that their six kids were home "throwing spaghetti against the wall," while the two of them were enjoying a date night. For their part, Mayer chatted with fellow audience member Queen Latifah, while Aniston schmoozed with Diane Lane, who was accompanying her husband, Milk Supporting Actor nominee Josh Brolin. When it came to the seating arrangements in the Kodak, Mayer and Aniston were not far from Pitt and Jolie – just about 12 seats away. For weeks leading up to the Oscars, it was rumored that Aniston would be a presenter at the show, though no official confirmation was released by the Academy. In the end, the Marley & Me star, along with Jack Black, presented the Animation awards.

Slumdog star has secret hubbie

Celebrities: ,

Freida Pinto has a secret husband, it has been claimed.

The Slumdog Millionaire star allegedly tied the knot with Rohan Antao in December 2007.

Last week, it was reported Freida had dated Rohan for four years before dumping him to further her career. It was believed the pair had been engaged, not married.

A source said: "Freida and Rohan fell in love at college and were extremely close. They were great together. The marriage was an impulsive decision.

They were deeply in love.

"But she just stopped calling him around the time of the Golden Globe Awards, when the film started making waves internationally. He is completely shocked at being dumped and is heartbroken.

"They had decided to keep the marriage a secret until they felt ready to talk about it openly."

The 24-year-old beauty has refused to comment on the speculation, and friends insist Rohan will not speak out either.

The source added: "Even though she has dumped Rohan now, he is not the kind who will go out and speak against her."

Freida's agent in India, Meenakshi Gehani, said: "We do not want to comment. However, if she is married then whoever is claiming it should produce a marriage certificate."

The stunning actress insists rumours she is romancing Dev are false, branding the 18-year-old actor a "little boy".

"Slumdog" kids feted as heroes after Oscar sweep

Celebrities:


MUMBAI (Reuters Life!) - With sweets, flower garlands and hordes of paparazzi, the child stars of "Slumdog Millionaire" were feted like true celebrities in India on Thursday as the nation celebrated the film's Oscar haul earlier this week.

Gun-totting police and private guards whisked away the six child actors who emerged from Mumbai airport smiling and holding hands, waving to the television crews and photographers that awaited them.

As journalists jostled to get close to the actors, the children were hoisted on their relatives' shoulders or on top of cars. Some wore bright marigold garlands around their necks.

"It was amazing, America was amazing," gushed Rubina Ali, 8, who played Latika, the film's heroine, as a young girl.

Ali was one of several cast members of the film who were flown to Los Angeles to attend the Academy Awards ceremony, in which the rags-to-riches romance won 8 Oscars, including best picture and best director.

"I loved the pizza there. People are so beautiful. I'm happy to be back but I want to go to America again," she said, barely able to contain her excitement.

At the Garibnagar slum, one of the hundreds of shantytowns in Mumbai that form the backdrop of the film, some 500 people danced to the Oscar-winning score of the movie to fete Azharuddin Ismail, who played the role of Salim, the hero's brother, as a young boy.

Ismail's neighbors crowded around his home -- just a tarpaulin hovel without even a bed -- to listen to the 8-year-old boy talk about his experiences.

"He is looking much nicer than before," said Asma Rafiq Khan, a 24-year-old neighbor. "He will have changed after going to such grand places."

The two child actors are to receive new homes from the Indian authorities after the small-budget movie swept the Oscars. Ali currently lives in a tiny hovel in the same rubbish strewn slum near railway tracks where Ismail lives. Open sewers run nearby and neither children's homes have running water.

There was an outcry after pictures emerged of the child stars living in squalor despite the $15 million movie earning about $100 million since its North American release last November.

But since the Oscars, India's media has been caught in a patriotic frenzy and politicians have jumped on the bandwagon to praise the Indians involved in the British film.

Most of the children said they had brought back gifts for their family and friends from the United States.

"I bought earrings for my mother and sister," said Ayush Khedekar, who played the young Jamal, the film's hero who wins love and fortune on a television game show.

"And I got chocolates for my schoolmates."

Miley Cyrus Oscars dress

Celebrities:


Miley Cyrus looked adorable at the Oscars last night.Miley Cyrus is one of the first big stars to arrive on the red carpet on the 81st Academy Awards.Miley Cyrus told reporters that her bejeweled fish scale tiered princess gown - designed by Zuhair Murad - was inspired by "The Little Mermaid.".The dress looked much better in closeup: the beading is exquisite. It was a fairy princess dress which worked perfectly for Miley, and was age appropriate.
Makes sense. Cause it really does look like something from the Disney Collection.
Miley accessorized with a clutch by Mary Norton, Neil Lane diamond earrings and BCBG shoes. She wore her hair in a low, loose chignon and kept her makeup subtle. Miley joked that her dress weighed "100,000 pounds." She said she chose it because it reminded her of the Little Mermaid. See? Wholesome. Sweet. Disney. Very smart, Miley.
The cinched waist leading down to the encrusted petals are magnificent - in a Quinceanera kind of way. But I do appreciate the boldness of the dress - BUT - don't think I haven't forgotten about the whole Asian caricature incident. Yes, it is that serious. I am simply judging the dress on her.

While being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest, he asked her who she was "celebrity stalking" tonight. She said Angelina Jolie saying that she wouldn't mind being adopted by her. Okay Miley - just show the picture of you pulling your eyes back doing that degrading Asian gesture and I am SURE Angelina would love to adopt you considering she has two adopted Asian kids.
Apparently, she was worried about dressing too old. No need for concern Miley. This looks like something for a birthday party, not the Oscars.
We know you want to dress your age but let's try to look more than six.

Is Rihanna pregnant ???

Celebrities: ,


Did an unplanned pregnancy prompt the argument that left R&B crooner Chris Brown facing felony assault charges?

New rumors have surfaced that claim Rihanna may be pregnant, and it was this news that led to her beating at the hands of Chris Brown.

Just days before the alleged assault that resulted in serious injuries for bruised and bloodied pop star Rihanna, the 21-year-old hitmaker visited an OB-GYN at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles because she feared she was pregnant with Chris’ baby, snitching celebrity insiders blab in the March 9 edition of Star Magazine.

A shaken Rihanna scurried into the clinic dressed in black with her eyes shield by large sunglasses.
Police claim Rihanna was attacked by boyfriend Chris Brown and now some celebrity weeklies are now asking, "Was She Pregnant?" Battling Rihanna for cover girl status is the always reliable Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie battle that resulted in a showdown at the Oscars
“She was extremely fidgety. She seemed totally uncomfortable,” an eyewitness at the doctor’s office told Star Magazine*.
An insider said that Rihanna was scared of how Brown would react to the news. “She was scared he would react badly,” said the source.
Rihanna is reported to have told friends after the beating: “All I could think was, ‘Oh, my God, I could lose the baby!’”
We can’t rule this out as not being true, but given the void of information surrounding the case, we’re taking it with a large pinch of salt.

Kate Winslet - gorgeous red carpet look

Celebrities:

Kate Winslet looked fabulous as she took home the Best Actress trophy from the 81st Annual Academy Awards. Kristian Dowling/WireImage.com After a decade of producing stellar work, Kate Winslet finally won a much deserved Oscar last Sunday.


Kudos to her for that, but what's really impressed me this awards season wasn't her massive collection of trophies but her gorgeous red carpet looks from one event to the next. Kate clearly has fun mixing up her different styles, playing with some color, and showing her botoxed colleagues that keeping it natural is beautiful -- and allows an actress to show emotion onscreen so you can win awards for years to come!
The season started in January at the Golden Globes, where Kate donned an exquisite black Yves St. Laurent strapless gown. She chose YSL again for this week's Oscar ceremony. Her one-shoulder gray dress had beautiful black lace detail and definitely looked like something a Best Actress winner would wear. While Kate's 8-year-old daughter was "mortified" that she donned a gray dress, the gown was a hit with most red carpet watchers. For the BAFTAs in London, Kate rocked a Zac Posen halter. I'm not sure about that umbrella, but at least she's carrying it in notoriously rainy England! My favorite look of Winslet's was the cobalt blue Narciso Rodriguez frock that she wore to the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The vibrant color is a welcome respite from the black and neutral gowns that have been so popular this season. Her hair and makeup were also particularly flattering at this event.

He told Us Weekly magazine: 'It's disturbing, it's terrible.

Tameka Raymond - From a liposuction to a medically-induced coma

Celebrities: ,

A Brazilian plastic surgeon has revealed details of the procedure that temporarily left Usher's wife, Tameka Raymond, in a medically-induced coma.


Two months after giving birth to the couple's second son, Raymond, 38, traveled to Brazil to have liposuction on her stomach, says Ellen Dasptry, a rep for Sao Paulo plastic surgeon Dr. Silvio Sterman, who was to have performed the surgery. "Tameka Raymond came here on Friday to do a liposuction. Shortly after she went under [general] anesthesia, she suffered a cardiac arrest," Dasptry tells PEOPLE.
Induced ComaRaymond never had the liposuction. According to Dasptry, after her cardiac arrest, Raymond was immediately revived and placed in an induced coma. "When an attack like this happens, the doctors put the patient to sleep... and make sure that everything is okay and that there has not been any damage," explains Dasptry. "This is the protocol every time and this is what was done." After a day in the ICU, Raymond was transferred to a larger facility, Sao Paulo's Hospital Sírio-Libanês, considered one of the finest in Brazil, says Dasptry. After nearly a week of recovery, she "is doing very well," says the surgeon's spokeswoman.
Usher Flies to Her SideOn Saturday, Usher canceled a performance at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy gala to fly to Brazil to be at his wife's side. Davis told partygoers the singer had to leave due to "serious injury in the family." Usher and Raymond have two sons: Usher Raymond V, 1, and Naveid Ely Raymond, who is two months old. Raymond also has three sons from a previous relationship. On Feb. 8, Usher's rep Simone Smalls issued a statement on the star's behalf: "Tameka Raymond is in stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery in Brazil. Her husband Usher is with her at the hospital. No further details will be released, and the family requests privacy at this difficult time." Raymond's case has stirred debate within the medical world over whether a wait of two months between giving birth and undergoing liposuction is sufficiently long.

Chris Brown allegedly received a text from another woman before attacking his girlfriend Rihanna Saturday night, according to TMZ:

Law enforcement sources confirm to TMZ Chris Brown received a text message from a woman while he was driving with Rihanna and that's what started the confrontation that left Rihanna battered and bruised.
We're told the text message was from a woman who wrote about hooking up with Brown later.
Okay, I highly doubt this was the cause of the argument. These two are famous as hell, so I guarantee they get insane amounts of texts asking to hook up. In fact, I'm texting Rihanna right now. Probably not the best time, but a wise man once told me women love persistence. - - Then again, that man was Chris Brown. Whoops.

Chris Brown Leaves Las Vegas to Meet Up With Mom

Celebrities: , ,





Chris Brown is on the move.
The R&B star left Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel and Casino earlier today and was planning to meet up with his mother, Joyce Hawkins, sources tell E! News.
Hawkins lives in Virginia, but it's unclear whether Brown, who has been accused of assaulting his longtime girlfriend, Rihanna, is making the crosscountry trek or will be hooking up with his mom elsewhere.

The 19-year-old singer spent less than 24 hours holed up in an eighth-floor suite at the Hard Rock. Management could not official confirm that Brown was a guest, but acknowledged that several male friends of his had checked in.
Sources told E! News that Brown joined his pals Wednesday afternoon. A Hard Rock rep couldn't immediately be reached for comment on his departure, but a source on the property says Brown's friends are still guests at the hotel.
Brown, who has been difficult to pin down since being released from custody on $50,000 bail Sunday night, is waiting to hear whether the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office will be pressing charges against him. So far, L.A. police have booked him on suspicion of making criminal threats.
There has been no word on Rihanna's whereabouts since the incident.

Although authorities wouldn't identify the subject if their investigation, an LAPD spokeswoman confirmed to E! News Thursday that a report was taken for felony assault with a deadly weapon.

"There is a detective assigned to the case out of West Valley," she said.
The process server who claims he was intentionally hit by Ghalib while waiting for him outside his Burbank apartment reportedly called the cops Wednesday at 10:42 a.m., but refused medical treatment for visible cuts and scratches.
Per TMZ.com, Ghalib supposedly fled the scene before the police arrived.
Spears' camp obtained temporary restraining orders against Ghalib, Sam Lutfi and attorney Jon Eardley about two weeks ago, claiming the trio were trying to interfere with the popster's conservatorship.

Rihanna to Cops: Chris Brown Threatened to Kill Me

Celebrities: ,


Los Angeles (E! Online) – Earlier today, the Los Angeles District Attorney asked police detectives to dig up more evidence for their case against Chris Brown.
The police are getting cooperation from Rihanna, and what she has told them so far is chilling.
A source close to the investigation tells E! News exclusively that Rihanna has alleged to police that Brown choked her while threatening to kill her and, subsequently, she lost consciousness.

They began squabbling after leaving Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party late Saturday. Shortly after midnight, things blew up. Brown pulled his silver Lambourghini to the side of a street in L.A.'s Hancock Park neighborhood. That's when, per the source, Rihanna grabbed the car keys and tossed them out the window, sending Brown into a rage.
He tried in vain to find the keys, then came back to the car, put his hands around her neck and, according to the insider, said, "I'm going to kill you!"
The 20-year-old "Disturbia" singer told police that she lost consciousness, the source says, and when she awoke, Brown had fled.
According to the source, her right eye was blackened and badly swollen and she had hand prints on her arms. The responding officers were so concerned about her, they drove Rihanna to the hospital in their squad car instead of waiting for an ambulance.
Officers took two sets of photographs of the banged-up singer, one at the scene and the second after she was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment. Those photos were presumably among the evidence presented to the D.A.
After being treated for her injuries, police escorted her down a rear elevator and into a waiting Mercedes, the source says.
Brown, 19, was subsequently booked on suspicion of making criminal threats. He was released after posting $50,000 bail.
His lawyer, Mark Geragos, has not responded to repeated requests for comment on the allegations. Brown's publicist also has not commented.
A spokeswoman for Rihanna declined to comment specifically on details of the fight and the arrest and stuck to her earlier statement from Sunday: "Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support."

Holly Madison: Done with Playboy

Celebrities: ,


Last year she broke up with Hugh Hefner, and now Holly Madison has decided that she’s done with the Playboy gig altogether.
Miss Madison had been serving as the Playmate Editor of Playboy magazine along with her “Girls Next Door” gig, but now she’s moving on to greener pastures as she explores the next phase of her life.

She blogged, “I quit for several reasons- One: I moved to Vegas, and that job doesn’t pay enough to make a commute worthwhile. I never cared about the salary when I got the job. I made my money doing Girls Next Door, and I did the job because I loved it.”
Holly continued, “It got to be routine, which was sad for me, since I was initially so passionate about the job and the creative aspects involved,” adding that working with Hef “was awkward. Not that anyone tried to make it awkward or didn’t treat me fairly...it just was.”
She added, “It annoys me when people call the job fake, as if it was just a set up for the show. If I had wanted a fake career for Girls Next Door, I would have stuck with the jewelry line because that required very little of my time. I spent way more than full time directing shoots, editing, making mock layouts and approving retouching.”
“So as you can imagine, when one is trying to move on with their life, it isn’t beneficial to spend so much time on something that doesn’t pay much and, sadly enough, is no longer rewarding to you.
“But I loved my job while I had it, appreciate the opportunity and the experience greatly, and wish whoever takes my place the best. Love-Holly.”

Report: Private Jet Company Charged With Endangering Celebrity Clients for Cheap Fuel

Celebrities: ,




Five executives and a pilot from a private jet company have been indicted on federal charges including the reckless endangerment of their passengers for allegedly over-fueling charter planes, ABC News reported.


Platinum Jet Management of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., has served clients like Beyonce Knowles, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and Harvey Weinstein, and charges charter fees of up to $90,000 at a time, according to ABC News.
The indictment, issued in New Jersey, alleges the executives and the pilot endangered passengers’ lives by over-fueling planes in places with low fuel costs and attempting to take off despite exceeding "maximum allowable takeoff and landing weights," the network reported.
ABC News noted that the indictment claimed this practice resulted in a February 2, 2005, crash at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport that sent a Bombardier Challenger jet skidding off a runway, across a highway and into a warehouse, where it burst into flames, injuring 20.
Those charged include the company's CEO, co-founder and chief pilot Michael Brassington, and his brother, VP and co-founder Paul Brassington. The pilot of the Bombardier Challenger was still being sought.

Kelly Clarkson: I Could Never Be a Lesbian

Celebrities:



Kelly Clarkson has already made 2009 the year of her comeback, and now she is ready to set the sexuality record straight: She is not a lesbian.

According to an interview with AOL’s PopEater.com, Clarkson’s fans always seem to latch on to the rumor that she is gay.
“I get that all the time. People are like ‘Are you secretly a lesbian? Because I’d really love it.’ Lesbians tell it to me all the time,” Clarkson told PopEater.





“I’m like, ‘I’m glad it works for you and I wish I liked women like that because oftentimes men are very hard for me, but I happen to like boys.’ I could never be a lesbian. I would never want to date someone like myself, ever.”
Still, Clarkson says she doesn’t care if you’re “black, white, yellow, gay, straight, crazy, whatever.” For her, “as long as you’re cool and you like the music and you’re coming out to have a good time at the shows, I don’t really care.”
And with her hot new single “My Life Would Suck Without You” shattering records with the largest jump to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and a sexy video to boot, the former American Idol can expect many more fans from all walks.
But don't expect Kelly to become a diva. She seems far from it in fact, as she dished on keeping in contact with her former Idol pals like Clay Aiken, who recently came out of the closet.
“I honestly don’t care if he is gay or isn’t gay, and I don’t care if he tells people or doesn’t tell people. I’m not friends with him for either of those reasons,” Clarkson said.

Christian Bale released on bail

Celebrities:






Batman star Christian Bale was freed tonight after being held for more than four hours by police investigating claims of assault.
Scotland Yard said the British Hollywood star was released on bail to a date in September pending further inquiries.





The 34-year-old actor was arrested at Belgravia police station, in central London, earlier today after attending by appointment.
Bale was spirited away from the station in a silver Mercedes people carrier at about 4.20pm.

A steadily growing pack of photographers, cameramen and reporters had been waiting outside since his arrival shortly before noon.
Officers are investigating claims that Bale lashed out at his mother and sister in his suite at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.
His sister Sharon, 40, shouted "it's a family matter" through a window when approached by reporters at her home in Corfe Mullen, near Wimborne, Dorset.
A man who answered the door at the home of his mother Jenny, 61, in Bournemouth, said she did not want to comment.
Bale was arrested hours after he attended the first European screening of the new Batman blockbuster, The Dark Knight.
Accompanied by his wife, Sibi, the actor joined co-stars Sir Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart at the Odeon West End cinema in Leicester Square.
It is understood officers approached Bale's representatives and agreed to speak to the actor about the claims after the high-profile premiere.
The two women went to a Hampshire police station yesterday to make a formal allegation.
The complaint about the actor was then passed to the Metropolitan Police for further investigation.
A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman confirmed a 34-year-old was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault.
She said: "A man has been bailed to return on a date in September pending further inquiries."
The allegations are not the first controversy to surround the film, which enjoyed record box office sales in its first weekend in the United States.
In January, 28-year-old Heath Ledger, who gave an Oscar-tipped performance as villain The Joker, died from an accidental drugs overdose.
Bale, a keen environmental activist and martial arts enthusiast, also starred in American Psycho, Empire Of The Sun and Batman Begins.
Neither of Bale's agents in the United States could be contacted for comment.
