Rihanna Misses Brown And Still Listens To His Music
Rihanna misses her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and still listens to his music on the radio, nine months after the fight which ended their relationship.
Brown was sentenced to five years' probation in August and ordered to stay away from Rihanna after attacking her during an argument over a mysterious text message back in February.
During her appearance on U.S. news show 20/20 earlier this month, Rihanna insisted she regretted initially reconciling with Brown after the bust up - but in a new radio interview she reveals she still pines for him.
When asked on Atlanta, Georgia radio program "The Bert Show" if she misses her ex, Rihanna replied, "Sometimes. Actually yes. There are a lot of reminders. There are a lot of places that we went to together and music - songs we liked together, and his songs."
And she still listens to her ex's music: "When it comes on on the radio, I don't turn it off. I just listen. I like his music."

Rihanna Will Only Date Bad Boys
RIHANNA is adamant she will never date a "nice" guy - because she can't see the point in a relationship which is "perfect and boring".
The Umbrella hitmaker split from boyfriend Chris Brown earlier this year (09) after their vicious fight which left the singer battered and bruised and her former lover pleading guilty to assault charges.
Rihanna is adamant she prefers "high risk" guys with an "edge" and will never consider romancing a man she considers a "cream puff".
She tells Britain's Glamour magazine, "Definitely the high-risk (guys). I don't like cream puff, corny guys. Usually they are the nice guys, the ones that won't hurt you. They'll pull out the chair for you and the whole nine yards. Everything is perfect and boring.
"I like the risk, I like the edge. That's the thrill for me."

Rihanna Wants Chris Conversation
Rihanna wants to talk to Chris Brown again.
The 'Russian Roulette' singer insists she doesn't hate her ex-boyfriend - who she is banned from having contact with under the terms of his sentence for assaulting her in February - and believes he will learn from his mistakes.
She said: "I can't see myself never speaking to him again. There's emotion there. I think it's possible to change."
The 21-year-old star also admits she is "embarrassed" that she had such strong feelings for the 'Run It' singer, following the brutal attack which left her covered in bruises and cuts.
She added to Glamour magazine: "It's embarrassing that I fell in love with that person. He was my first big love and the more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for one another."
Despite Chris' attack on Rihanna, the couple reconciled briefly afterwards, which Rihanna has since admitted was a mistake.
When asked why they got back together briefly, she said: "Love doesn't go away easily."

Rihanna Battles Blizzard Conditions In Skimpy Stage Outfit
Blue/WENN.com
Rihanna didn't let a blizzard striking the East Coast of the U.S. interfere with her wardrobe at an open-air gig on Saturday - she insisted on donning a skimpy outfit as she took the stage in New York.
Despite freezing temperatures and up to 11 inches of snow falling on the Big Apple, the "Umbrella" hitmaker refused to let the bad weather stop her from slipping into her usual sexy stage attire for her pre-recorded New Year's Eve TV special.
The singer strutted onto the snow-speckled stage in low-slung trousers and a top bearing her stomach, and only reached for her fur coat when the conditions got too much, telling fans, "Maybe I am cold after all".
The show, in which she performed a duet with mentor Jay-Z, was filmed at Rockefeller Plaza as part of "New Year's Eve With Carson Daly," which will air before the countdown to 2010 on U.S. network NBC.

Rihanna free to be raunchy at New Year gig
Organizers behind Rihanna's upcoming New Year's Eve gig in the United Arab Emirates have dismissed reports they've ordered the singer to tone down her act.
Tabloid reports suggest the "Umbrella" singer is set to cover up for her concert at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi to avoid offending any conservative fans.
But bosses at events company Flash, the firm organizing the gig, insist the rumors are "totally inaccurate".
A spokesperson says, "The facts recently reported around Rihanna's Abu Dhabi concert are totally inaccurate. Rihanna is bringing an incredible new stage show to the capital and there's no doubt the event will be fantastic; an ideal way to celebrate the beginning of a new decade."

Couple seen kissing, cuddling on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
By Jessica Herndon
updated 10:45 a.m. PT, Tues., Jan. 5, 2010
CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico -- - She may be extremely busy with her career, but Rihanna is finding quality time to hang with her new beau, Los Angeles Dodger Matt Kemp.
The 21-year-old singer, introduced to Kemp, 25, by friends in November, is currently vacationing with the outfielder at a luxury resort in Cabo San Lucas.
While hanging poolside on Jan. 4, the lovebirds "couldn't keep their hands off of each other," says an eyewitness, adding that once back on their patio the pair "kept kissing while gazing out over the ocean."
"Rihanna wants the world to know that she is happy with Matt," says an insider. So far, things between them are looking good. He certainly kept her "constantly giggling," says an onlooker, when they went shopping at The Grove outdoor mall in L.A. on Dec. 22.
"They've only had a few opportunities to be together, but those times have been fun," says Kemp's agent Dave Stewart.
Adds an insider, "They really like each other."

Lawyer for Matt Kemp's Ex -- Abuse Was Real
Posted Jan 23rd 2010 8:34AM by TMZ Staff
The ex-girlfriend of Matt Kemp -- the L.A. Dodger who is currently dating R&B star Rihanna -- is lashing out at Kemp's people, claiming they are lying about a relationship that was abusive and threatening.
David D. Diamond, Felisha Terrell's attorney, tells TMZ he's pissed off that Kemp's agent is now saying Terrell lied in her 2008 restraining order application against Kemp.
Terrell claimed Kemp was verbally abusive and threatening, but both sides ultimately agreed to drop the matter.
When news of the restraining surfaced earlier this week, Kemp's agent told one outlet, "She chose to file a complaint and shortly thereafter, on her own accord, decided to drop it based on the fact that the statements made within were false."
Diamond says his client never lied: "The temporary restraining order was granted because of an actual and real threat. The matter was quietly resolved until Mr. Kemp's agent began making false public statements."
Diamond adds, "...my hope is that Ms. Terrell tells her story, because it is a compelling tale of betrayal, abuse and survival."
Calls to Kemp's agent were not returned.

Rihanna: We Messed Up The 2009 Grammys
RIHANNA understands why organisers didn't ask her to perform at the upcoming Grammy Awards - after her bust-up with ex CHRIS BROWN forced her to pull out of the 2009 event.
Both stars were due to sing at the prestigious ceremony in February 2009 but they cancelled their slots at the last minute after Brown left Rihanna battered and bruised.
The Umbrella hitmaker has since returned to the spotlight by releasing her fourth album, Rated R, in November (09) and fans had called for her to seal her comeback with a slot at the 2010 Grammys.
But Rihanna insists she won't be taking the stage after she and Brown caused the producers so much hassle last year.
She says, "We messed their show up pretty bad last year. They might be a little mad at me."
The 21 year old is expected to attend the event, which takes place in Los Angeles on 31 January (10). She is nominated for two awards for Run This Town, her collaboration with Jay-Z and Kanye West

Rihanna Pays Tribute to Leukemia Victim Jasmina
For Rihanna, Super Bowl weekend in Miami wasn't all fun and games.
Friday night, the singer attended a kickoff party for Pepsi's Refresh Project. The philanthropic drive offers financial support to charitable causes, and Rihanna, 21, is trying to raise money for DKMS Americas, the world's largest non-profit marrow donor center.
It's a cause close to the singer's heart. Last year, she helped spread the word about a New York City mom in need of a transplant, as well as highlighted the need for more African-American donors after watching a video about young leukemia victim, Jasmina Anema.
Tragically, Jasmina, 6, lost her battle with the disease on Jan. 27.
"She was a very free, fun spirited little girl, full of energy, always happy, always energetic," Rihanna said, the Associated Press reports. "I always remember she wouldn't sit still. She was always running around, always had a smile on her face."
In a push for the Pepsi Refresh Project, Rihanna said, "If we win, this would really help us recruit 4,000 individual donors."

Rihanna Sued By Trainer
Rihanna is being sued by her personal trainer.
The 'Russian Roulette' singer allegedly owes Cindy Percival $26,144.14 in unpaid wages from 2009, according to a claim filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court by the fitness expert last week.
In the law suit, Cindy claims she was hired by the singer to perform "exclusive personal training services" at a rate of $1,500-a-day but wasn't paid for a few weeks work between September and October.
In addition, the trainer is also seeking $2,644.14 in travel expenses to cover the costs of her travel around Europe to work with the 22-year-old star.
Rihanna has previously spoken about her exercise regime, admitting she always needs a trainer to motivate her in her work-out sessions.
She said: "I stay in shape with a lot of hard work and a lot of running on the treadmill. Cardio is the key. I have a personal trainer who travels with me if we have a big event coming up. I work out every day but I need a trainer to motivate me - I don't find it much fun working out on my own."

Chris Brown appeals for fans' help
Chris Brown is asking fans to help put his music back on the radio, insisting stations across America are denying him airplay.
Brown has been working to rebuild his image ever since his infamous fight with Rihanna last year, issuing a public apology for his behavior and carrying out community service for the attack.

In a message uploaded to SayNow.com, Brown says, "I ain't (sic) never really did this but right now I need all of my fans' help. It's crazy because a lot of radio stations aren't playing my records.

Nothing else will do that except for the fans.
"There's nothing else that I can do. I'm doing everything that I need to do. I'm doing me as a person and I'm a better guy.
"My singing and my music I do it for you guys and everything else but it won't be possible if I'm not relevant on the radio and it wouldn't be possible for me to be an artist if I don't have any support. I can't be an underground mix tape artist. That's where we are. I just want all my fans to help me. I love y'all. Peace."

Rihanna Moving In With Matt
Rihanna has asked Matt Kemp to move in with her.
The 'Russian Roulette' singer delighted the 25-year-old Los Angeles Dodgers baseball star when she suggested he came to live in her Hollywood mansion, just months after they started dating.
A source said: "Matt is very happy to be moving in with Rihanna.
"He knew it was only a matter of time before Rihanna moved him in. He wants to make her happy.
"He had boxes of his things brought over in mid-March. He's training in Arizona now, but when he's back he'll be at her place."
However, Matt is said to be being cautious about the move and is not currently planning to put his own Los Angeles property on the market.
The insider told America's Star magazine: "He's keeping his house, to see how things go. But they are so in love."
Rihanna and Matt - who were first romantically linked in January after they holidayed together in Mexico - have always played down their relationship and claimed they are "just friends".
However, the sportsman recently introduced the 22-year-old singer to his family when she attended an Ante Up for Autism charity fundraiser he was involved with.
A source said: "Matt was happy she came. It was an awesome show of support. Rihanna fit right in as if they all knew each other. It was comfortable."

Rihanna has asked Matt Kemp to move in with her.
The 'Russian Roulette' singer delighted the 25-year-old Los Angeles Dodgers baseball star when she suggested he came to live in her Hollywood mansion, just months after they started dating.
A source said: "Matt is very happy to be moving in with Rihanna.
"He knew it was only a matter of time before Rihanna moved him in. He wants to make her happy.
"He had boxes of his things brought over in mid-March. He's training in Arizona now, but when he's back he'll be at her place."
However, Matt is said to be being cautious about the move and is not currently planning to put his own Los Angeles property on the market.

Rihanna: 'Matt Kemp is my boyfriend'
Rihanna has confirmed baseball star Matt Kemp is her boyfriend after months of insisting the loved-up pair was not an item.
Reports of a romance spread in January when the singer and the Los Angeles Dodgers star holidayed together in Mexico.
They were then spotted at parties and basketball games together, but Rihanna was eager to report she was single the whole time, and insisted she and Kemp were "just good friends."
Kemp then threw the star a party in Arizona in February to celebrate her 22nd birthday, but she maintained, "I'm not dating anyone. I'm single."
And Kemp continued the ruse by telling reporters he had no time for romance: "I can't get distracted by that. When it's time to play baseball, that's my job. No distractions. Rihanna is just a friend, a good friend of mine."
But now the romance is out in the open as the Dodgers season gets underway and Rihanna plans to tour with Kesha.
The singer revealed the truth during a chat with Los Angeles DJ Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Thursday (08Apr10).
She said, "He's my boyfriend. ... It's new and it's fun and it's nothing too serious. I don't want anything nuts that's gonna take up so much of my energy and time in a bad way."
Kemp is the singer's first serious boyfriend since she split up with R&B star Chris Brown in 2009. Brown was charged with assaulting the singer during a fight after a pre-Grammy Awards party.

Katy Perry asks Rihanna to plan her bachelorette party
Katy Perry has heaped the pressure on best pal Rihanna - she's asked the "Umbrella" singer to organize her bachelorette party.
Rihanna was in the throes of announcing her summer tour with Kesha when Perry dropped the bombshell and gave her pal the task of coming up with a wild bash to celebrate her upcoming wedding to British funnyman Russell Brand.
During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, the R&B star says, "She put that on me last week and now I have to come up with something cool 'cos she's getting married in India, so I'm like, 'OK and now what do I do to match that for a bachelorette party?'"
But she has a bit of planning time: "That's at the end of the year, so we've got some time to plan that."

Every photo I see of her, I still think of her as a stripper instead of a singer.

Rihanna Reunites With Matt Kemp in London! Are They Back Together?

Has Rihanna gone back to the well?
It looked that way in London last night, when she was caught leaving a strip club with her former boyfriend Matt Kemp!
She called it quits with pro-baseballer late last year, but clearly, they're still friends.
And maybe more...?

Rihanna got away to the Hawaiian Islands for a little relaxation earlier this week. She's been spending her days by the beach, in the water, and hanging with friends — and she captured it all on Twitter. Rihanna shared personal pictures of her vacation including hot snaps of her skimpy bikinis and fun moments with pals. Click through to see more from Rihanna's hot Hawaiian getaway!
Isn't she in her late 20's?? She should seriously know better....
Anyone who has just spent the last two weeks in Hawaii tweeting almost-naked body shots of themselves should not have a tat that says "thug", I don't care who you say you're "honoring". This girl bugs the crap out of me, can you tell?? 
people.com
Rihanna has always been fond of tattoos, and her new one sure sends a message.
Newly emblazoned across her knuckles is the phrase "Thug Life," as seen in a photo the singer, 23, posted to Twitter. It's apparently an homage to Tupac Shakur, who had the same phrase tattooed across his stomach.
And indeed, Rihanna has mentioned Tupac in a series of occasionally obscene Twitter posts over the past day – many of them in response to fans' outrage that she would identify with thug culture.

She really bugs me too. Money can't buy class.
Move over, I'm hopping on the Rhianna Bugs Me train too. And I must admit I'm rather perturbed she's wearing a John Lennon t-shirt. I challenge her to sing one of his songs from beginning to end. She should have left off the "T" and "H" and just had "Ug" tattooed on herself instead.

Rihanna Drops Chris Brown
You Finally Crossed the Line
TMZ
It seems Rihanna has finally had enough of Chris Brown ... the singer has "unfollowed" her ex-boyfriend on Twitter after he released a new diss track that appears to be aimed at her.
The song in question is a remix of Kanye's TheraFlu -- in which Brown freestyles the verse, "Don't f*ck with my old bitches ... like a bad fur ... every industry n*gga done had her."
He continues, "Trick or treat like a pumpkin ... just to smash her."
Hours after Brown released the track last night, Rihanna stopped following Brown on Twitter -- a HUGE move -- and one that's leading many to assume Rihanna believes the verse is about her.
A short time later, Brown unfollowed Rihanna.
We reached out to Rihanna's rep -- so far, no comment.
Looks like the little secret relationship theory of mine imploded

Why does this guy get a pass?? I was so angry to see him on Dancing With the Stars last Tuesday night. Luckily I had it recorded and I could fast forward. Very disgusting.

Not to cause too much controversy, but I wonder how much race is a factor. Could you imagine how outraged people would be if it was, for example, Taylor Swift instead of Rihanna. So many people (rightly) criticized Kanye for butting in during her acceptance speech, but you do not hear nearly the outrage against the jacka$$ that is Chris Brown.
You think? We certainly didn't give him a pass here. Ted didn't. Lainey didn't.
Record company did because he makes money. Stupid ass fans did because.....stupid ass fans..........

I think the ones that gave him the pass are those that can make money off him. And while Kanye made an ass of himself on broadcast TV for the entire world to see, what Chris did was not seen by the general public (nor did Kanye beat the crap out of his girlfriend, apples and oranges events). If Rihanna had spoken out about what he had done instead of keeping it on the down low, we may have had a different reaction from the public. Unfortunately, most victims of domestic violence consider it THEIR shameful secret, when in fact it's the attacker's shame.
Years ago in college I had a stalker problem (no violence, just stalking). I sang like a bird. People were shocked, said they were proud of me for not being embarrassed. My response was always the same. "I have nothing to be embarrassed about, he does. And I talk about it to keep him from doing this to someone else next." Unfortunately, Rihanna didn't make the same choice. I don't think this has anything to do with race, and everything to do with the fact that people sweep domestic violence under the rug all the time.
