Despite the pictures everyone in the world saw last week of RIHANNA and Dodgers outfielder MATT KEMP groping each other in Mexico, Matt’s agent says his client is NOT dating Rihanna.Â

Here’s his take:”I think dating might be a stretch at this point.  They are in Cabo, but past that they are just good friends, and I don’t think we can label it as anything other than a friendship right now. Who knows what will develop past the friendship.”Â
 

So in other words, Matt’s smashing Rihanna just like Brody Jenner and Drake allegedly did.Â
 

Here’s what I love about the BBC: You can speak  like an actual human being and not be judged by the harsh and hypocritical American media.  Here Rihanna speaks about the enjoyment of tattoos and being single.

December 2, 2009 — ‘On Air With Ryan Seacrest’ radio listeners got an earful yesterday (December 1) when Rihanna was invited to the studios of Los Angeles radio station KIIS. The visit was to promote the singer’s latest album ‘Rated R.’

Talking to the famous Ryan Seacrest, host of On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Rihanna shared that she enjoys being nude around the house. As if that wasn’t enough information, the bold artist admitted she takes pictures of herself in her birthday suit to remember when she was young and beautiful.

So far those naked pictures of the daring warbler haven’t hit the Internet.

The lighthearted interview was a great opportunity to hear Rihanna talk about life as a singer and about how she takes everything day be day, especially interesting given the widespread news regarding her reportedly difficult relationship with former boyfriend Chris Brown.

“It’s a different life. Normal? I wouldn’t say normal. It’s definitely more intense, like everyday is another curve ball, but now I just know how to handle it, you know? Every time you get put under a situation it somehow seems to make you stronger in the end.”

Rihanna will be featured on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Check your local listing for the show time on NBC.

 

Dear Rihanna,

I understand that it gets lonely around the holidays, and that you are in obvious need of a good meal and some Christmas loving. While some may jump at the chance to get in those thigh-hugging pants you wear, I look at it as my opportunity to be charitable.

Yes, you are fine. And you can get it! But the real sacrifice is cooking for a person I barely know.  I don’t know how you do it in Barbados, but my kitchen is fully stocked. I got yams, Turkey and macaroni and cheese on deck! Trust me when I say that you are NOT ready.

I will be happy to give you my good sex, but when you taste my cooking, I’m afraid that you’re going to want me for more than just Christmas.

Here’s to having you for dinner…

Tazz

I’m posting this before this gets out of hand. Rihanna is fine as hell and EVEN SHE ISN’T PERFECT. I’ve seen her in person and he’s pretty damn close though. No matter how fine you are ladies, you’re going to find something wrong with you. Most likely, REAL MEN WON’T KICK YOU OUT OF BED FOR IT!

Cellulite means nothing to guys

Still dope

oh no! She showed her panties! She's HUMAN!!!

Having known Wendy and her work for some years, I have to say I was surprised that she didn’t go in on Chris Brown. Then again I wasn’t. Wendy showed me two things: First, she feels like most of us feel: Chris Brown has had enough. Second, she’s showing some class and proving the “A-List Naysayers” wrong about her reputation. Both Wendy and Chris are working hard to show people with their actions that people do change.

Speaking of which, this Chris Brown song “Crawl” is the best thing I’ve ever heard from him. You can tell he’s gone through something. Wendy also premiered the video on her show and it is awesome.

Shouts to MissJia for finding this

You already know my stance on this so I’m going to post the interview and I would really like to read your comments on this interview

Star Jones gives the final word on The Chris Brown/Rihanna Situation

After watching Rihanna discuss Chris Brown on ABC for the last two days I felt compelled to comment because the issue of domestic violence is important and deserves discussion. Most times when a major issue is in the news, I take to my laptop and the words just flow freely and quickly and it is like a bomb explodes in me and everything inside of me must come out.

I must confess that this time it was different. I honestly found myself trying to walk a “fine line” around the issue; so as to see “both sides.” Huh? What the hell was I thinking searching for words that would comfort that which is uncomfortable, explain the unexplainable and defend the indefensible. I’m still figuring out why…even as I type…

This should be easy for me…the ex-prosecutor. For these are the facts:

•Battering on women is the most under reported crime in America.
•Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the United States; more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined.
•Three to four million women in the United States are beaten in their homes each year by their husbands, ex-husbands, or male lovers.
•One woman is beaten by her husband or partner every 15 seconds in the United States.
•About 1 out of 4 women are likely to be abused by a partner in her lifetime.
•Approximately 95% of the victims of domestic violence are women.
•Police report that between 40% and 60% of the calls they receive, especially on the night shift, are domestic violence disputes.
•Battering occurs among people of all races, ages, socio-economic classes, religious affiliations, occupations, and educational backgrounds.
•Domestic violence is not only physical and sexual violence but also psychological.
•A battering incident is rarely an isolated event.
•Battering tends to increase and become more violent over time.
•Many batterers learned violent behavior growing up in an abusive family.

Then it hit me…even knowing what I know to be fact on the issue of Domestic Violence, I was trying to find a way to justify not put Chris Brown “on blast” for his behavior. I was looking for an excuse for him “going off” in such a violent way. I was searching for a way to justify his behavior because of his youth, immaturity, background, fame and temper or her youth, immaturity, background, fame and temper. I was also annoyed that this young couple had become the poster children for domestic violence when it happens every day to many more people who are not famous and who don’t get the attention. I was pissed that other people seem to get a “pass” for bad behavior. I was disheartened that “sisters” were so critical of Rihanna and questioned her motives. I was having trouble formulating my comments; because I was focused on the big picture of this issue.

And then my nephew Tyson flashed in my head.

About two years ago, Chris Brown was on tour and my then seven-year-old nephew Tyson desperately wanted to see him in concert. When I tell you this kid loved him some Chris Brown…I don’t exaggerate. He danced like him, sang all his songs, had him on his IPOD…the whole nine yards. Tyson doesn’t ask me for a lot…so when “Auntie Star” gets a specific request…I jump through hoops to get it done. So I pulled some strings and got some VIP passes for Tyson and the little girl from his class he adored “Cierra” (who he described as having eyes like “snowflakes”…yeah, I know…the kid is deep) and off they went (chaperoned by my sister and brother-in-law) for a night on the town in Richmond Virginia. They had a great time and Chris didn’t disappoint. Tyson clearly because a junior stud in the eyes of Cierra…and “Auntie Star” was again “Fairy Godmother.”

Fast forward about a year later to February 2009 Tyson now eight years old and all over the news is Chris Brown. This time not for a cool new concert, but for beating up his then girlfriend Rihanna. Now, as much Tyson loved Chris Brown the performer, he could take Rihanna or leave her; but this wasn’t about Chris’ music today. My Dad said Tyson purposefully sat with him and watched the news, Entertainment Tonight, etc. about the “incident.” He saw Rihanna’s badly bruised face, he heard the 911 tape and then he very deliberately asked for a trash bag. Eight year old Tyson got up from the sofa, gathered every CD, tee shirt and poster of Chris Brown he had and put it in the bag and gave it to his grandfather. He said “here, I don’t want it anymore.” My Dad (I adore this man so much…) then told Tyson he might want to wait to hear all sides of the story before jumping to conclusions. And according to my father, Tyson asked one question: “Did he hit her?” Dad said, “it looks that way.” Tyson then brought it all home with one phrase: “Pop Pop, boys don’t hit girls.”

Tyson didn’t need a law degree, facts and figures, a 20/20 interview or a Larry King confession. He knew a universal truth that he learned at an early age that gave him all the information he needed. “Boys don’t hit girls.” Period.

There is no question that Rihanna was brutally beaten by Chris Brown. I’m not sure if she initiated, instigated, ignited or provoked the situation that lead to the altercation…and I really don’t care. Bottom line is Chris Brown repeatedly hit Rihanna in the face so hard that it left her bloodied, bruised and beaten…and that is unacceptable on any level. Any man who would do so deserves to be prosecuted and punished and any woman who is the victim of it needs to run…not walk as fast as she can away from the situation because that relationship is toxic and dangerous.

There, I said it. Thank you Tyson…

I wish no ill will towards Chris Brown, I’m proud that he took responsibility for his actions and took his punishment like a man. I hope he gets the help he needs to control his anger, deal with the history of violence in his family and grows into the man he knows he can be. Chris Brown deserves the chance to change, to grow and to prove himself to be worth of the adulation of his fans. Those are my hopes for Chris…but my prayers are with Rihanna that she finds the strength and the courage to love herself enough not to ever accept that a volatile and violent relationship is love.

Love is kind, love is passionate, love is pleasurable…there is no hitting in love.
