And the party don’t stop.. On Monday night, Rihanna performed at London’s O2 arena, for one of eight dates on the UK leg of her “Last Girl on earth” tour. What does she do after an hour and a half of singing and kinda, sort of dancing? More of the same - this time fueled with alcohol; rum to be exact. After her O2 show, Rihanna and a friend were spotted at Mahiki, a Caribbean themed cocktail bar she and many other ‘eclectic’ types frequent whenever they’re in London. Rihanna was reportedly partying until 4 in the morning.

It’s the 25th of December! Merry Christmas to all and to all here’s a damn good video. As a late night/early morning present here’s Rihanna’s “Hard” video featuring Young Jeezy. This video is light years ahead of most quote-unquote R&B videos. You’re familiar with Rihanna’s packaging and she continues to keep it at a high level. Sales of Rated R do not reflect the quality of the album. Side effect of that CB scrap. Maybe once this video gets enough play folks will cycle back and pick it up. Look out the window.. it’s Santa!

Rihanna is in fashion paradise while attending Paris fashion Week. She has been spotted at almost every main show, and has been seen wearing some interesting outfits. Up top, she’s at the Hussein Chalayan show. Which one of these outfits do you like the best?

Whether you like it or not, 80’s fashions are back and celebs can’t get enough of the decade inspired trends. One trend that was once popular in the 80’s, are acid wash jeans. There have been many versions of these jeans seen out in stores lately. This trend is a risky one, because this style of jean does not look good on everyone.

Over the weekend I was two fingers close to Tweeting about the helicopter and plane crash over the Hudson River. That’s where those kinds of stories end up now. That helicopter was part of a fleet operated by Liberty Helicopters. If you recall, last week I posted a story about Rihanna using their services to fly back from the Hamptons. Well, a few minutes ago I got a call from Rihanna’s management, informing me that she actually used Zip Aviation to make the trip. They felt it was important that Rihanna not be connected with the tragedy in any way. Correction made. I forgot to ask how much the flight cost. Let’s go with more than zero, less than you’d be willing/able to pay.

Over the weekend, Rihanna ducked the rain sprinkling NYC by taking a trip to the Hamptons. Yesterday she was spotted making her way back to the bricks, with the help from Liberty Helicopters. For the hedge fund/Wall Street types, flying over the heads of the regular folk, as they curse traffic and the four-hour drive on the Long Island Expressway, is the only way they’d ever make the trip.

Someone should stitch together all of the celebrity responses to the Chris Brown and Rihanna mess. Actually don’t know that it would be anything different than what we the people have been saying. I personally think they’ve both done permanent damage to their careers: Chris Brown post-fight photo and Rihanna post-reconciliation. There is another view that the situation has been blown up and people need to let them work it out beyond the blog posts, TV, radio and gossip magazine covers.

Dawn Richards holds that opinion. Speaking to MTV she said.. “I think they’re both great artists. It’s a shame and I think it’s their business and it sucks that it has to be out there. The media attention is like a microscope — everybody’s in your stuff. It’s their business and whatever they choose to do with it, I wish them luck. It’s not my business. I wish that everybody would back off and let them deal with it the way they deal with it. I can’t give advice.”

Yesterday afternoon Chris Brown was in a Los Angeles courtroom for his arraignment. The judge officially identified Rihanna as the victim in the case and charged Chris Brown with two felonies: assault likely to cause bodily harm and making criminal threats. Chris Brown didn’t enter a plea (guilty/not guilty), his attorney asked for a continuance, which means the arraignment is on hold until April 6. Rihanna wasn’t in court but her attorney Donald Etra told the judge there was no need for a ‘stay away’ order, “Rihanna requested that no such order be issued,” he said.

According to People magazine, Chris Brown and Rihanna have made up and are currently spending quiet time at one of Diddy’s houses on Star Island. Chris Brown reportedly called Rihanna on her 21st birthday (Feb 20) to wish her the best and tell her how much he cares for and adores her. Speaking about the kiss and make-up, a source told People.. “They care for each other. While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

It’s great for them if it’s true, but is Chris Brown serious about this love and affection he speaks of or is it like any other guy that lays the pimp smack on a woman only to sweet talk them a few days later with ‘sincere’ apologies and babble about how hard his heart beats for her? You know, the woman really cares for dude so she accepts the apology (black eye and all) and they hop back on the merry-go-round until the next time he loses control.

Well I said I was waiting for Rihanna’s police photo and here it is. Shockingly it’s very close to my description of black and blues. Obviously TMZ obtained the photo and the LAPD has verified that the picture is authentic. They also claim to be conducting an internal investigation to find out who ‘leaked’ the picture to TMZ. If anyone is found they could be fired.

Don’t break a sweat over that. This looks like a purposeful leak to reverse the goodwill Chris Brown has gotten since the news broke. The general feeling is that this was just a heated argument and some of Chris Brown’s fans have littered comment boxes saying Rihanna brought the fight on herself. Take a look at that picture, do you think she deserved that? That was more than an in the moment swing of the arm. It looks like some serious knuckle work. Like Chris Brown’s official statement says.. He needs God.
