Rihanna's Comeback Album

Rihanna is supposedly working on a follow up to her best-selling album, Good Girl Gone Bad, and sources say that she has been very particular about what songs she will add to the disc. Her label are staying really quiet about the details, but some info has been leaked. Some of the artists and producers that she may be colloborating with are Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Soulja Boy, Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams, just to name a few.

This time around, the change in sound will completely change and is said to "mark the spirits forever". Hmm! A duet with Chris Brown was immediately thrown out of the window, but I'm curious as to why.

I hope this album really proves that RiRi can be a true artist. She didn't really get my attention like she did with everyone else on her last album. The album should be out later this year, maybe December.

Rihanna Doesn't Testify, Chris Cops a Plea

So, as I suspected, Rihanna did not testify against ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in court this afternoon. All she did was walk into the courtroom, the judge told her what was going to happen and what Chris was ordered to do, and that was that.

Chris Brown has reportedly copped a plea in his assault case, which means that he will serve NO TIME IN JAIL! The judge, however, served Brown with five (5) years of probation and he has to stay 50 yards clear of Rihanna. If both artists have to appear at any type of celebrity event together, they are stay 10 feet from each other, until their next court hearing in August.

Brown also has to serve 180 days of community labor in his hometown (Virginia) picking up trash, pulling weeds, washing fire trucks, etc. He also has to enroll into a domestic violence counseling program and will be supervised.

I feel a little bad for Chris, but if you do the crime, you have to serve the time (whichever way it goes). Justice has been served!

Rihanna Appears in Court Today

The day has finally come! Yes! Rihanna will appear in court with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown to possibly testify against him for abusing her this past February in Los Angeles. Brown has two felony charges against him at the moment, but is looking to have them lessened to two minor charges if Rihanna's testimony isn't believable. Although she has to appear in court, she doesn't have to take the stand at all, but of course, she might get hit with some charges if she doesn't.

I really hope she testifies against Chris. VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER! That's the moral of today, tomorrow, and all of the days of our lives. Stand up for ANTI-DOMESTIC ABUSE people.

Rihanna Says NO CAMERAS!

With all of the turmoil that she's experienced from the beating of her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and the leakage of photos from her bruises to her body parts, Rihanna deserves a little privacy in the public eye. During her court date next Monday for the charges against Brown, Los Angeles Judge Patricia Schnegg will not allow any cameras in the courtroom during the hearing.

I think this pretty far for both Rihanna and Chris Brown. With the paparazzi, the press, and people making deaths threats, the "no-camera" rule is definitely a blessing. Cool beans!

Rihanna Gets Subpeaoned

After much deliberation, Rihanna must show up in court to testify against Chris Brown later this month. She is not able to back down from this at all. Brown has been charged with two misdeamenor charges, but has pleaded guilty. Let's see how this works. Some witnesses need to be in the stand on this case as well.

Also, yesterday, both individuals avoided contact at the Lakers' Game. Rihanna sat in the stands and Brown sat courtside. That had to feel extremely strange for the both of them.

So Rihanna Messed Chris Up Too?

According to an article I just read, Rihanna was not the only person in the fight to have marks and bruises on her face. An ex-girlfriend and still good friend of singer Chris Brown claims that Rihanna hit Chris first and that his face was bloddied up from the incident.

The Leaked Rihanna Photos are Indeed HER!

Unfortunately, for those of us who love the beautiful, innocent Rihanna, the pictures that were leaked are indeed of her.

That's right! It's Rihanna!

Her record label released a statement asking everyone to stop posting them because they are "invading the artist's confidentiality". Most believe that Chris Brown released the photos, since a small headshot of him was captured in one of the photos. Another photo show Rihanna posing in the mirror in lingerie, with the caption, "I love you. I miss you. Robyn.", written on the mirror with make-up.

It's a shame that photos like these are leaked of celebrities. There's no telling how she feels right now, especially after the leakage of her battered bruises from Brown. Everyone should be entitled to their privacy, CELEBRITY or NOT! We're all still human.

Inappropriate Timing for Rihanna Comeback

Last month, it was stated that Rihanna would make a comeback with a concert in Dubai for this month. The public affair would be her first performance since the drama surrounding her and Chris Brown.

Unfortunately, as of today, a rep for Rihanna and Vibe Event Management (the company promoting her concert), released a statement saying that the event was officially off.

Managing director Yassin Matbouly just stated that “We want to share with you that Rihanna and her management will not be accepting to hold a public concert at this time as it is not appropriate timing for her.”

It might take a good minute for Ms. Fenty to fully recover from the drama she experienced earlier this year. She's definitely in my prayers.

Rihanna Will Return Jewelry

After the Rihanna & Chris Brown investigation is over, Rihanna and her attorney will be able to return the jewelry she was loaned.

Rihanna wore a pair of earrings and three rings as part of her ensemble for a pre-Grammy party during the incident between her and Brown. The LAPD and the owners' of all pieces came to an agreement to use the pieces for further investigation this morning.

Chris Brown appeared in court today. No further details have been processed about the hearing so far.

Rihanna's Gotta Find That Jewelry

In February 2009, a pair of earrings and three rings were taken and used in the investigation of the Rihanna & Chris Brown case. Rihanna is currently trying to seize the items back that she loaned from four different companies. If not returned, she will have to come out pocket with $1.4 million.

The filing was made by the companies last week, wanting them back for events that are happening overseas soon.

Rihanna was wearing the jewelry during the afternoon she was brutally beated by singer/then-boyfriend, Chris Brown. It was part of her ensemble for the Grammy Awards on February 8, 2009.
