Ashley Judd Splits and Rihanna Comes Clean

Ashley Judd seemed like the dutiful race car wife when husband Dario Franchitti won his third Indianapolis 500 in May 2012, but it seems that all wasn’t well with the relationship.  Less than a year later, the couple has announced their split. Judd released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, which read, “We have mutually decided to end our marriage.  We’ll always be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on the special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed. Judd, 44, and Franchitti, 39, met in 1999 at Jason Priestley’s wedding through mutual friends who hoped to set … Continue reading →

Is Chris Brown Headed for Jail?

If his critics have their way Chris Brown will be spending a lot of quality time in a California jail. However, the way things are currently progressing it doesn’t look as though the singer will have to worry about rotting behind bars. The musician was back in court yesterday pleading not guilty to charges that he assaulted and made criminal threats to his on-again/off-again girlfriend Rihanna. Prosecutors maintain that Brown beat up the 21-year-old Barbados beauty during a fight on February 8th, though he denies doing so. Yesterday the judge in the felony case set a hearing date for April … Continue reading →

Rihanna to Appear on Oprah and Ben to Never Appear on “Dateline” Again

Rihanna has yet to speak publicly about the battering she allegedly took at the hands of her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. However, sources say the singer is now ready to dish about her recent attack with… Oprah Winfrey. Look Magazine is reporting that the talk show queen has secretly been counseling the Umbrella hitmaker since devoting an entire show to dating violence. During the episode, which aired a few weeks ago, Winfrey urged the R&B star to take some time alone to clear her mind, and urged her not to reconcile with Brown until both received professional help. Now, here’s the … Continue reading →

Rihanna and Chris Brown Take a Break and Liam Neeson Mourns His Beloved Wife

Could it be that Rihanna is actually heeding Oprah Winfrey’s advice? The talk show queen devoted an entire show to domestic violence last week and followed up with another episode yesterday. Now, according to reports, the “Umbrella” singer, who was allegedly assaulted by her boyfriend Chris Brown last month, may be taking a break from her tumultuous romance. Winfrey, along with a litany of her celeb guests, urged Rihanna to take a cooling off period from Brown so they could “heal themselves.” While there’s no evidence that Rihanna actually watched Oprah’s shows, it appears that she is heeding Winfrey’s advice. … Continue reading →

Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards

The Nickelodeon is celebrating its 23rd annual Kids’ Choice Awards (KCAs) on March 28th. Now, I will have to watch because Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) will be hosting, but others will be watching for different reasons. (This image is a work of a U.S. Air Force Airman or employee, taken or made during the course of the person’s official duties.

Donald Trump Calls Rihanna a Loser

Apparently it takes one to know one… Not that she cares what he thinks; that means nothing to the unmuzzled Donald Trump, who is sharing his thoughts about Rihanna’s decision to forgive Chris Brown for allegedly assaulting her last month. Trump told TV’s “Inside Edition” that “she better get the hell out… If she goes back, she’s a loser and she doesn’t deserve to have any future success.” Nothing like cutting to the chase… As cut-throat, and perhaps, inappropriate as his comments may be, Trump is certainly not the only star sharing his two-cents worth on the whole Chris Brown … Continue reading →

Oprah Counsels Rihanna and Jimmy Kimmel is Alone Again

Oprah, herself a victim of physical abuse, held a roundtable discussion on her show today and she offered some wise words of advice for Rihanna. The young star, who was beaten up by her boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, is said to have reunited with him at Diddy’s house in Miami. Oprah thinks the young couple needs to take some time and get counseling. She also mentioned a good point – “Love doesn’t hurt.” Well, at least not physically. And Oprah pointed out something she says she has been telling women for years – “If a man hits you once, he … Continue reading →

Chris Brown is Going Down

He may have been able to sweet talk his way back into Rihanna’s life, but things are far from rosy for singer Chris Brown.

Rihanna and Chris Brown Reunite

Not at the police department, the courthouse, or an attorney’s office. Word has it that Rihanna and her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown (yes, the same Chris Brown who is accused of assaulting her earlier this month) are back together again. Shocked? Domestic violence experts say we shouldn’t be. According to studies, it’s rare that an incident like the one that Rihanna allegedly suffered at the hands of her attacker cause a permanent end to a romance. And given that the alleged pre-Grammy beating was reportedly not the first of its kind, experts say it would have been more surprising if the … Continue reading →

Chris Brown Tries to Salvage Career

In an effort to salvage what’s left of his career, image, and reputation, R&B singer Chris Brown has hired the same high-profile publicist, who helped Mel Gibson run damage control. The embattled singer is facing possible jail time for allegedly making criminal threats following a heated argument with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna earlier this month. According to police reports, the Kiss Kiss star threatened to kill Rihanna on more than one occasion. The 19-year-old released a public statement on Sunday saying that he was “saddened” by the incident that left Rihanna in need of medical attention. Reports say the female singing … Continue reading →
