Rihanna & Lady Gaga: "Silly Boy" Demo

Rihanna and Lady GaGa have signed on to collaborate upon the arrival of a demo song titled "Silly Boy" from the production hands of The Clutch (Timbaland, Danja and Keri Hilson).

Earlier last week, Rihanna hit studio during her brief stay in the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Rihanna's new effort is planned to be dropped sometime later before the end of this year. Chicago acid house pioneer Adonis is believed to have been in charge for its production process. Two new tracks titled "We Own the Night" and "Pretty Girl Blues" have been finished and are expected to be premiere soon. Just to be clear this is a demo it is not Rihanna or Lady Gaga. What do you think?

Chris Brown pleads, "Not Guilty!"

Chris Brown appeared in court with his attorney, Mark Geragos, for his arraignment at the Superior Court of Los Angeles County in Los Angeles, California on Monday (March 6).
Chris is charged with two felonies for the alleged assault on Rihanna during an argument on Feb. 8, 2009. The 19-year-old singer pleaded “not guilty, your honor”, when asked for his plea by L.A. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg. Sources inside the courtroom say Chris’ mom spent the entire preliminary hearing either in tears or praying for her 19-year-old son. Chris also brought along four bodyguards with him. He is due back in court on April 29th. Check out his plea bargain video courtesy of CNN:

Do we need to state the obvious...Chris Brown is totally not guilty (I'm being sarcastic)...do we need to revisit the famous Rihanna picture with her bruising. I guess some people just run into people's fists all the time! What do you think?

Rihanna Police Shot is Art?

Yahoo.com and E! online just broke this story:
"L.A.-based pop artist Sham Ibrahim's new portrait of the "Disturbia" hit maker is based on the now infamous police photo showing the singer bruised and bloodied. But Sham's intent is not to raise awareness about, let's say, domestic violence. Instead, his reasons for creating the Andy Warhol-like piece is, "I thought the bruises in the police photo were interesting shapes to draw," he says. "And it was cool to color them pink and blue. Those are two of my favorite colors." Furthermore, "There is no message to any of my art," he says. "It's meant to look cool hanging on your wall and that's it! I'm not into deep meanings." What do you think? I think this is just sick and uncalled for.

Chris Brown Arraignment Postponed Until April Sixth!

Chris Brown appeared at Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday (March 5) but did not enter a plea on two felony counts of assault and making criminal threats, stemming from his alleged altercation with girlfriend Rihanna on February 8. Rather, at the request of attorney Mark Geragos, Brown was granted a continuance in the case, meaning his arraignment has been pushed back until April 6.

Outside the courtroom, Etra told E! News that Rihanna did not need a no-contact order and that the 21-year-old singer "is doing well, and she is making sure her rights are protected at every stage of the proceedings. ... What will happen to Chris Brown is up to the district attorney in court."

If Brown is convicted on the felony charges, his sentence could range from probation to up to four years in prison, CNN quoted the DA's office as saying.

Neither Brown nor Geragos made any statements to the media while at the courthouse. Brown arrived in a black SUV just before 3:30 p.m. PT, flanked by a pair of security guards and his attorney. As they made their way into the building, they were surrounded by throngs of photographers and camera crews, while sign-carrying protesters milled about on the sidewalk.

The Rihanna Picture...

Yup, its the picture that everyone has been waiting to see. It is too graphic to post but if you want to see it check it out at here. [Warning: Very Graphic!]

It's worst than I thought. I hope justice is served very soon.
Here is the official report from the LAPD on the incident.

UPDATE:
In a statement released Friday afternoon, a publicist for Rihanna says:
"At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown. She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time."

"She's Going Through A Tough Time"- Jay-Z

Jay-Z was interviewed about his his third annual Two Kings dinner with LeBron James during NBA All-Star Weekend on Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona.

“I just think we should all support her,” said the former Island Def Jam president and CEO, who signed the 20-year-old singer to his label in 2004. “She’s going through a tough time. You have to realize she’s a young girl, as well. She’s very young.”

Hov is not taking Chris Brown’s alleged assault on his protégé lightly. “You have to have compassion for others. Just imagine it being your sister or mom and then think about how we should talk about that.” When asked if he’s seen the Barbados beauty since the altercation, Jay-Z said, “I don’t want to go into it.”

Someone in Jay Z's camp had previously spoken about Rihanna’s fight with Chris Brown saying, “Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew.”

That is intense! Not only is his career dead, he soon will be hoping he was too for touching our beloved RiRi.

In related news, Rihanna's father also spoke out about his daughter. When asked about her condition, he said, "There is some bruising. She will be all right. I think so." He also added, "At some point, she will speak out. I hope she will stand up for women all over the world."

On a positive note, Sprite Green, in partnership with LeBron James and Jay-Z, helped donate over 150 instruments to students at the Mesa Arts Academy during NBA All-Star Weekend 2009 in Mesa, Arizona. The athlete and rapper, along with Beyoncé, were treated to a performance by the students at the Music in the Halls event on Saturday.

NAACP Awards

The NAACP drew many of Hollywood's biggest names in the entertainment community. This year's events marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the NAACP and also acknowledged the significance of last month's inauguration of President Barack Obama. "If there had been no N-A-A-C-P, there would be no O-B-A-M-A," Tyler Perry told the crowd at the beginning of the evening. Beyonce's performance, which opened the telecast, included photographs of key people in the civil rights movement as well as Obama.

The drama going into the ceremony involved nominees Chris Brown and Rihanna. Brown is accused in a domestic violent incident that allegedly involves Rihanna. Neither attended the Grammy Awards, as they were scheduled to do Sunday, and neither attended the Image Awards. Rihanna lost in the category of outstanding female artist to Beyonce; Brown, a winner last year, lost to Jamie Foxx in the outstanding male artist category. The biggest awards went to Diddy, Taraji P. Henson, Jennifer Hudson, Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, Will.i.am., Beyonce, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Slumdog Millionaire and the cast of The Secret Life of Bees.

New Single: Kanye West & Lil' Wayne

"See You In My Nightmares" is Kanye West's third single from his platinum album 808's & Heartbreaks released in December of 2008 and it features Lil' Wayne. The video is being shot this weekend and it features Rihanna as the video girl (she had planned to be in the video way before the incident). This should be a very interesting video seeing that the song is about breaking up with that person who causes you pain.

New Rihanna Single!

Rihanna is already hard at work trying to forget that ordeal with her ex-boyfriend by getting back in the recording studio as Kanye West suggested. Mario and her produced this demo titled "Emergency Room" which she hopes will be a single in the future for her new album "Dark Angel" out this summer. What do you think? I think this song is totally about Chris Brown.

Chris Brown vs. Rihanna?

Chris Brown & Rihanna last night at the Clive Davis Grammy Party

Chris Brown has been arrested and booked into the custody of the Los Angeles Police Department over allegations of domestic violence battery. The R&B star posted bail of $50,000 and was released on Sunday at 8:35 p.m. He was accompanied by attorney Mark Geragos, who has represented high-profile clients including Michael Jackson.

The 19-year-old singer is under investigation for an alleged domestic violence felony battery that occurred on early Sunday morning near Hancock Park. Some reports claim Brown’s girlfriend Rihanna was involved. Her publicist didn’t elaborate, but said she is “well.”
Both artists canceled their performances at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles earlier tonight. They appeared together at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party on Saturday evening, shortly before the incident occurred.

World Premiere Song!

Rihanna Featuring Chris Brown- Bad Girl

Single Review: Rihanna: "Rehab"

And the hits keep pouring out from her third solo LP Good Girl, Gone Bad. This is her eighth single and possibly her second to last release off this album, Billboard.com reported that she is planning on releasing her last and final single "Breaking Dishes" off this CD in the new year. This song was written and produced by both Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. While "Rehab" has always been a highlight on the album, it does sound a bit dated, 18 months after its debut. The video was visually beautiful, the chemistry was great between her and Justin but it lacked fire. The single is currently at number 35 on the Billboard charts up 23 spots from last week.

Final verdict: Expect to see another top 10 single from this woman. As of today she is the most successful woman on billboard this decade followed by Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey.
