Chris Brown and Rihanna are officially back together. Here’s how People Magazine is reporting it:

The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the “Umbrella” singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE.

“They’re together again. They care for each other,” says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s homes.

Adds the source: “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

Kanye West’s special on VH1 will air tomorrow night (2/28) and Kanye giving his thoughts on today’s hottest topics in the media. Kanye talks about Radiohead singer Thom Yorke snubbing him backstage at the Grammy Awards and even talked about Michael Phelps recent headlines saying “I know I make mistakes in life..Michael Phelps, amazing … He’s a real f*ckin’ person; he makes mistakes.” Not all of Kanye’s comments will make the show, as VH1 decided to cut out anything that might cause headlines. Something’s that VH1 cut include Kanye’s rant against Radiohead, one of his favorite bands, and Kanye saying that everyone should give Chris Brown “a break.” Kanye also performs many of his hits on the show including “Stronger” In realted news, Hollywood.tv recently reported that “Kanye West drives crazy in Hollywood Echo” . In a new video Kanye is shown leaving a spot and getting into his car and trying to leave as he’s surrounded by paparazzi

50 Cent Presents Pimpin’ Curly “The Fast Lane” – Episode 4: “Meet Uncle Pinky” Guest Starring Clifton Powell (From “Friday”

It looks like Kanye West’s new gal is really into the singles scene — as in she’s got a history of stripping for one dollar bills.

E! News is reporting:

An initial arraignment date was set for March 5 following his arrest earlier this month for his altercation with Rihanna. But that court appearance “may not happen,” Los Angeles district attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison tells E! News.

“We don’t have the evidence yet. are still investigating,” says Robison, who doesn’t expect her office to receive the case until at least next week.

“If determine they need more time they’ll set a new date for him to come into court,” says Robison.

Once the LAPD finishes its investigation and presents the D.A. with the evidence, Robison says prosecutors must decide whether to file felony charges, reject the charges if the evidence is insufficient, or refer the case to the city attorney’s office if they decide the behavior was simply a misdemeanor violation.

But as they build their case, the source says, prosecutors fear that making any serious felony charges stick could prove difficult in a case where there are no direct witnesses other than Rihanna and Brown.

Rick Ross isn’t done with 50 Cent or G-Unit. Today Ricky released a new video blog in which he does everything from questioning the loyalty of Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo to announcing his plans to launch a new anti-50 Cent website. Ross starts by being blunt saying “F*cking monkeys, you work for me,” Ross said in the clip. “Your neighborhood don’t respect you, I was just out in Queens. Shout-out to Smurf…I’mma keep disrespectin’ you until you bow down” Ricky then turns his attention to the G-Unit members saying “Tony Yayo, you 48 years old and been snortin’ powder for 40. when the last time he took your grandma shopping?” Ross even mentions ex-G-Unit president Sha Money XL saying “Sha Money, he gonna fire you again, you know whenever he feel himself, he fire all y’all n*ggas. So next time he fire you, Sha Money, come work for me” Finishing up, Ross says he will pay Banks & Yayo and he’s opening up a new site saying “Y’all been loyal to this n*gga, y’all should kill this n*gga at the next meeting and come holla at me, I’ll give you $100,000…I made you pay to buy ThisIsCurly.com, now I got ThisIsSabrinasSin.com”

DMX is in trouble again. Less than a month ago X was sent to solitary confinement for threatening a correctional officer, now DMX is in the hot seat again. DMX apparently attacked a Sheriff’s detention officer while on lockdown in a Arizona prison. If authorities take action, DMX could be charged with aggravated assault and face up to 8 more years behind bars. As previously reported, DMX is serving a three month (90 day) sentence for drug, theft and animal cruelty charges. On the 8th of this month, DMX was put into 23-hour-a-day lockdown following an incident where he allegedly threatened a correctional officer.

50 cent sat down with his boy Howard Stern this morning for a chat…and its always magical when they combine.

Whitney Houston has injected herself into the Chris-Rihanna assault incident. According to the National Enquirer, she’s offered Rihanna some heart-felt advice.

Here’s an excerpt from their report:

When Whitney heard what had happened to Rihanna, she was close to tears. Right then she knew she had to contact her and urge her to get out of the relationship while she can. She made it clear that Rihanna should dump Chris.

Whitney told her, ‘Whenever you let your heart rule your head, you are bound to run into trouble.’

But according to the same source, Rihanna isn’t taking Whitney’s advice and has ALREADY reconciled with Chris Breezy. Here’s what else they’re reporting:

“Even after what Chris did to her, Rihanna is crazy about him. They have been talking and have agreed that once the legal problems are ironed out, they will be together … They vowed to meet at a secret rendezvous location outside of Los Angeles.”

In a 2006 interview, Rihanna was asked what she thought about Whitney Houston and here’s what she said:

I love Whitney Houston. She is a big idol of mine and so influential….

Whitney has made some of the greatest songs ever. I don’t want what’s happened to her to happen to me and that’s why I don’t take fame too seriously.

Brian Dalyrimple of the group Soul 4 Real is involved in an identity theft ring who allegedly stole more than 200 victims’ identifications. And according to police – Dude is on the run!!!

Georgia police have already arrested a woman, Laborah Crawford, in connection with the identity theft case. But police are still looking for Dalyrimple, who is allegedly on the run with his 10-month-old son.

In the ’90s, Dalyrimple was part of the R&B group, Soul For Real – a group made famous with its hit song, “Candy Rain.”

Here’s the police’s official word:

“One of our detectives is working on it, she’s our white-collar crime specialist and she has identified 145 victims within our jurisdiction, several of them businesses, and an additional 115 victims in other jurisdictions, so you’re looking at over 260 victims right now.”

Barkley is officially going to jail.

Barkley just pled guilty to 2 counts of driving under the influence and pleaded “responsible” to running a stop sign for the December 31 incident in Scottsdale.

Barkley was sentenced to 10 days in jail — but will only do five if he completes an alcohol education program. Barkley was also fined $2,000.

Barkley will begin his sentence on March 21 — but it’s unclear if he will serve time in Arizona’s famed Tent City Jail, where they make the inmates wear pink.

As for the gun cops say they found in Barkley’s car on the night of the arrest — no charges were ever filed.

Last Friday was Rihanna’s 21st birthday. And while she was having a private party in Los Angeles, Chris Brown was doing his best to win back her heart.

Here’s what’s being reported in the NY Daily News:

“Chris called Rihanna to wish her a happy birthday,” an insider tells us. “He’s absolutely trying to get back into her good graces. He knows he’s very much in the doghouse right now, and is doing everything he can to show her how sorry he is.”…

He sent the “Good Girl Gone Bad” singer a diamond bracelet and necklace, as well as an iPod Touch. Plus, Brown’s mom, Joyce, who is said to adore Rihanna, sent over a bouquet of flowers.

And apparently Chris’ apologies are working. Here’s more:

Rihanna so wanted Chris with her on her big day, but obviously realizes why they can’t be together right now,” our insider says. “But it’s becoming more and more clear that she can’t be without him

We told y’all last week that Rihanna may take him back…

(Originally published February 20) Yesterday was Rihanna’s 21st birthday. Here is Rihanna’s OFFICIAL statement regarding the assault:

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

Hilarious.

This is the image of Rihanna after she was allegedly beaten up by boyfriend Chris Brown. A lot of people have been circulating this photoshopped image of Rihanna.

Well here you go and this isn’t Photoshop. This is the real deal. An image produced by TMZ.com that shows exactly what Rihanna looked like after being brutally attacked.  Certainly…nobody is passing judgement yet, but this images are certainly “talkative” in their own right. So. what’s the verdict?

Only time will tell, but it would appear that C. Brown will have to face some sort of judge greater than the one of public opinion.

Clearly calling out 50 Cent by filming in the rapper’s city, Rick Ross has recorded a music video for his diss song “Kiss My Pinky Ring” showing he’s not afraid to step foot in Fif’s territory.

Along with displaying various clips of Ross and his entourage traveling through New York, the Miami rapper also featured alleged pedestrians calling out 50.

Yup. Remember when Mrs. D Wade said he gave her an STD? He’s suing her for defamation to the tune of $50,000. Oh and he’s suing her lawyers too. He says they humiliated and embarrassed him and may have cause detriment to his future earning potential.

“It has been difficult to see false allegations, rumors and gossip repeatedly discussed in public about my personal life,” Dwyane Wade said in a statement released to the AP. “I had no other choice but to file this action in order to clear my name.”

Welcome back, Charles Barkley.

Barkley makes his return to the Inside the NBA set this evening after a hiatus following his DUI arrest in December.

And before coming back, Barkley has apologized again for the incident.

“This is just my bad, no excuses,” Barkley said. “I think that a DUI is unacceptable,” he added. “That can’t happen and I’ve got to challenge other people, not just celebrities or jocks. You have to really think before getting behind the wheel after you’ve been drinking.”

The 45-year-old Barkley also vowed to start using a driver when he went out and would not get behind the wheel after drinking.

Between the stories about Michael Phelps and A-Rod, you almost forgot that Barkley had his own legal issue on his hands.

Either way, it will be good to have the Chuckster back.

2 Live Crew rapper Luther Campbell was arrested by Florida authorities Tuesday (February 17) night for reportedly missing over $10,000 in child support payments.

This week. 5 US gossip magazines are claiming that Chris and Rihanna are either GETTING BACK TOGETHER or NEVER ACTUALLY broke up.

Here’s the National Enquirer:

”Even after what Chris did to her, Rihanna is crazy about him and she’s forgiven him … They’ve been talking on the phone, and they’ve agreed that once the legal problems are ironed out, they’ll be together.”

Here’s Star Magazine:

” has reached out to on numerous occasions, both calling and texting him with the message: Miss you, Love, peace and hope u r ok’ … She keeps saying she wants to make sure that he’s okay. She thinks this will all blow over and they can go back to how they were.”

Here’s Life & Style:

” loves Chris but she wants to send the right message to fans by what she says publicly and how she handles the relationship … But she loves him – and may want to work things out.”

In Touch claims that they’re speaking and still in love, but not back together yet:

”She hates Chris but still loves him at the same time … spoke a few times since the incident, and they’ve relayed messages back and forth through a friend.”

Here’s US Weekly:

Rihanna seems surprisingly torn, to the exasperation of many. “I mean damn, her eye’s black and the sides of her face are all f_cked up, “says a friend. “But she keeps saying she loves him … she’s telling everyone that she’s sorry, though it’s not her fault … She’s actually worried about HIS life? What prison will do to him? Come On!”

Here’s how the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting it:

While stating he was “sorry and saddened … over what transpired,” Brown did not declare any remorse or give any details about the couple’s Feb. 8 confrontation.

”All of us, including Rihanna, don’t understand how he can say he’s sorry on the one hand, but still … does not admit any guilt,” said the source, adding, “He should have expressed more contrition.”

In Los Angeles, a close Rihanna associate — in daily contact with her — told this column Monday the entertainer is ”royally pissed off” by what Rihanna calls Brown’s ”cavalier and arrogant statement.”

For the second time in 9 months, Suge Knight got his face punched in — and the alleged ass-beater claims to be Akon’s business manager.

It all went down in a private party at the W Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ — where Suge was attending a private party for NBA All-Star weekend. Cops say they were called to the scene by hotel security who warned about a brewing fight between two groups in the VIP area.

According to the Scottsdale PD website, when cops arrived, they saw a man punch the victim — aka Suge — two times in the head.” Officers had to break out the tasers to “quell the fight.”

The suspect, Robert Carnes Jr., was charged with one count of felony aggravated assault — they ruled it a felony “due to the severity of the victim’s injuries.” Another man was also arrested and charged with one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

According to the Scottsdale PD, “Carnes reported to officers that he is employed as the business manager for singer ‘Akon.’”

Suge was transported to a local hospital and treated for facial injuries.

UPDATE: Akon’s people tell us, “Akon had already left the party and was in his hotel room at The W when the incident occurred.”

CLICK BELOW to read the Scottsdale PD arrest report.

“At about 3:30 AM, police were called to a private party on the second floor (pool area) of the W Hotel. Hotel security personnel called police when they became concerned that there would be a fight between two groups of guests having heated words in the VIP area. Officers arrived and watched a group of about 6-8 guests exiting the VIP area. They saw one person, later identified as Robert Carnes Jr., punch the victim in the head two times. Officers deployed Tasers to quell the fight that erupted. Officers arrested CARNES Jr. and ANDERSON for assault and disorderly conduct. The victim was transported to SHC-Osborn hospital where he was treated for facial injuries. CARNES Jr. reported to officers that he is employed as the business manager for singer “Akon”.

Both suspects were booked into Scottsdale City jail and are being held in custody.

ANDERSON is charged with 1 count of misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct. CARNES Jr. is charged with 1 count of Felony Aggravated Assault. (Felony charge is due to the severity of the victim’s injuries.)”

HILARIOUS!!! 50 CENT talks about everything in his new song dissing RICK ROSS AND FRIENDS

called “TIA TOLD ME”

In Other 50 vs Ross News:

RICK ROSS…GOT HACKED.

The funniest thing ever. The site that hosted negative pics of 50’s son has been HACKED. 50 Cent and his internet warriors just don’t play that. The site, which shall remain nameless now goes to a porno site.

G-Unit’s Lloyd Banks has responded to a recent direct diss from Rick Ross by striking back with his new track, “Officer Down.”

“Too easy man, can’t a motherf*cker ’round you see me/You need an AK and a Genie, a whole pound of Wheaties,” Banks raps. “He been talking ’bout the weight he push/Used to punch the clock in jail/Drove his mama car around/Now he got what you want for sale/See it, I bought it/It’s official if I flaunt it…We’ll be here long after you disappear/This is proof/One fifty one in the booth…You Super Thug/I’m kryptonite/Sleep with me, your b*tch just might/Same promotion, different fight…This is like practice/Pay your taxes before you spit my name all backwards…50 bodies you, I just lay the chalk around.” (This Is 50)

Rick Ross called out Banks in his song “PUSH EM OVER THE EDGE”

“Lloyd Blanks, I know you wonder why I ain’t say nothing about your b*tch a**,” Ross says in the song. “But I can never acknowledge you. You sucked your assistant’s d*ck on tape and he licked it. You’re a f*cking, d*ck sucking, f*ggot…Lloyd Banks, your career is over.” (You Tube)

Chris Brown may have gotten lucky because the charge he was booked on is kinda weak, law enforcement sources tell. But he’s still in big trouble, and Rihanna says it’s not the first time he’s attacked her.

Sources say the Los Angeles County District Attorney kicked the case back to the police for further investigation because evidence that he made criminal threats against Rihanna is kind of thin. Our sources are quick to say he will, however, almost certainly be charged with felony domestic battery, a lesser offense but still serious.

Here’s how it went down, according to the police report. After Chris received a text message from a woman who wrote about getting together, an argument erupted. By the way, initially, Rihanna would not tell cops what started the argument.

She did, however, tell them that during the argument, he started hitting her. According to the police report, she ordered him to drive her home and “faked a call” to someone, saying things like, “He’s dropping me off. Make sure the cops are there.”

Rihanna told cops the fake call enraged Brown. He said something to the effect of “You are really fu**ed up now. I’m going to kill you.” This statement is the basis of the criminal threats charge.

At that point, according to the report, Brown allegedly began a violent attack with his fists. At some point, Rihanna took the keys out of the ignition and threw them outside.

And there’s this. According to the police report, she told cops this was not the first time Brown hit her. She referred to it as an ongoing and escalating abusive relationship.

We’re told the criminal threats charge is based on that one statement Brown allegedly made. As one law enforcement source told us, “It’s kinda weak, and the D.A. is not going to prosecute a high profile case like this unless it’s solid.” That’s why it was kicked back for further investigation.

Given the brutal nature of the attack, which the photos clearly show — contusions on the face, swollen eyes, cut lip, bloody nose, bite marks on fingers and arm — a felony domestic battery charge is virtually a done deal. That, however, is a less serious offense than making criminal threats.

50 Cent’s personal attacks took an ominous and unprecedented turn last night (February 11) when the mogul released a voyeuristic clip of DJ Khaled’s mother.
The video, entitled “A Psychic Told Me,” begins with 50 writing a poem boasting of damaging Khaled’s property and knowing his mother’s whereabouts.
“Your tires got stabbed out,” 50 states. “Now you know I know where you be…I know where your momma house at, now look you can see…I know where your momma work at, now look at her sleep.”
The video shows a property residence and mailbox number late at night.
Also shown is a sleeping woman, alleged to be Khaled’s mother, while unidentified members of 50 Cent’s entourage hover around her flashing thisis50.com t-shirts.
In addition, the cameraman records photos of Khaled’s family that are visible on the office desk. 50 ends the piece by warning “I’m not the kinda ni**a you should f**k with B, I’m special. I have less compassion than the average human being.”
With that, gunshots ring out in the background.
While the feud is primarily between Rick Ross and 50, the G Unit CEO has repeatedly accused Khaled of instructing Ross to go after him.
Although 50 and Ross have exchanged diss records, both have put considerably more efforts into attacks outside of battle records, such as carton clips, legal documents, and websites.
Because of invasion of privacy issues, it is possible 50 Cent’s viral clip may open up legal ramifications.
At press time, DJ Khaled could not be reached for comment.

Law enforcement sources confirm that Chris Brown received a text message from a woman while he was driving with Rihanna and that’s what started the confrontation that left Rihanna battered and bruised.

We’re told the text message was from a woman who wrote about hooking up with Brown later.

We’ve also learned there is a reference in the police report to an argument over a rapper, but we’ve learned this is NOT what triggered the argument. The woman who text messaged Brown is not a rapper.

As for Rihanna’s injuries, we continue to learn more. Cops took multiple pictures at the scene. Chris Brown allegedly hit Rihanna so hard with his fists, she could barely open her eyes for the photos — they were almost completely swollen shut. She had a fat lip, her mouth was swollen, her nose was badly bloodied, and she had contusions on her forehead and both sides of her face.

CHRIS BROWN is set to incur the wrath of hip-hop king JAY-Z over his alleged assault on R&B star RIHANNA.

Brown was arrested on Sunday (08Feb09) for felony battery after an incident with an as yet unidentified woman, reported to be Rihanna, in a vehicle in Los Angeles.

And Jay-Z, who discovered and mentored Rihanna, was reportedly enraged upon hearing the allegations, warning of retributions for Brown.
A source tells Us Weekly magazine, “He hit the roof. Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew.”

It looks like Chris Brown and Rihanna were having an argument right after the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party. When, Rihanna took his Lambo keys and threw them out of the window. When she did, and he couldn’t find the keys, Brown lost it. According to E! News, the rest went down like this:

He tried in vain to find the keys, then came back to the car, put his hands around her neck and, according to the insider, said, “I’m going to kill you!”

According to the source, the 20-year-old “Disturbia” singer told police that she lost consciousness, and when she awoke, Brown had fled.

According to the source, her right eye was blackened and badly swollen and she had hand prints on her arms. The responding officers were so concerned about her, they drove Rihanna to the hospital in their squad car instead of waiting for an ambulance.

Officers took two sets of photographs of the banged-up singer, one at the scene and the second after she was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment. Those photos were presumably among the evidence presented to the district attorney.

Kanye West talks about Rihanna and Chris Brown (to E! News’ Ryan Seacrest):

“She has the potential to be the greatest artist of all time and, in that sense, I feel like that’s my baby sis and I would do any and everything to help her in any situation. I don’t want to speak more into the specifics with that situation, but all I’ll say is it’s just so devastating. I feel like, just as a person, I don’t care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald’s, that should never happen. It should never come to that place.”

T.I. had a different take on it from his “space,” which is that of the offender:

“He’s cool, you know. He’s a little concerned about the situation, but he’s still the same Chris. I told him, ‘This too shall pass.’ “We’re celebrities, we’re entertainers, but we’re still human—all of us. Don’t expect us not to make mistakes, because we will.”

Chris Brown talks about living in an abusive relationship:

“He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day…’ I hate him to this day.”

His step father talked to Access Hollywood and fired back and Chris Breezy!

“ has to take responsibility for his own actions.” When asked he thought Chris beat up Rhianna, he said “I wouldn’t be surprised.”

On June 5th, 2007 Rihanna admitted in a Complex magazine to having violent fights with her brother.

Here’s an excerpt of that interview. Given the recent charges against Chris Brown, it’s worth a re-read:

COMPLEX:Did you see 300?
Rihanna:: 300 is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The choreography, the fighting, the costumes, the production—phenomenal. I make everybody watch it.

COMPLEX:So you didn’t think it was too violent.
Rihanna::Oh, not at all. That was the good part. I’m the oldest child with two brothers. We talk all the time now, but we used to fight—and when I say “fight,” I don’t mean arguments, I mean physically fight.

COMPLEX: Who won?
Rihanna::I hit the older one in his face with a glass bottle.

COMPLEX: Whoa. Remind me not to piss you off.
Rihanna::Yeah, my mom was pretty upset.

A friend of Chris Brown reached out, offering us this explanation of what happened on Saturday night:

We told you earlier that Rihanna is outrageously jealous and insecure. So would get into arguments and fights with her. He never hit her once but she’d smack him, bite him and scratch him and once he even got hit in the balls kinda’ hard. So got into the habit of hitting him because to her it was fine since he never hit her back.

finally told her to shut the f*ck up and it’s over. So she socked the shit out of him while he was driving and kept on hitting him until he crashed into a parked car.

then got out of the car and tried to pull her out and got hit in the face some more numerous times. Scratched up and everything.

Simply because he was done with all of the drama. Anyway when she smacked him this last time he smacked her back. So he .

Hurt from banging her face on the windshield/dashboard from the car accident then called the cops and told them that whipped her ass.

wanted to go get his things from her apt to go to a hotel and saw a million cop cars there.

So he left and when he sent us to retrieve his stuff, this girl didn’t want to let us get his 6 bags of stuff. She said tell him to come get it himself … Tell him to answer his phone and that I’m sorry we can work this out. To which I said, hell no my friend isn’t coming anywhere near here. It’s too late for all of that. He just wants his luggage and you guys need never to see each other anymore….

Sh*t happens was definitely in effect and it’s crazy how everyone can jump on a woman’s side and not know what happened. Hind sight is 20/20 and I told he should’ve gotten out of the car and called the cops on her a*s when it was just him with scratches and shit.

This seems like a very interesting story. Of course we have absolutely no way to know whether it’s true or just damage control.

It does get a little tricky however. You’ll recall that initially both Rihanna and Chris’ people were claiming that Rihanna was injured in a “traffic accident.” Also, according to TMZ, their Lamborghini was towed from the scene of the alleged assault in Hancock Park to a nearby police impound lot. Could the car have been damaged???

- Cops reportedly have “devastating proof of abuse.”

- Chris Brown was NOT in a low-speed car chase with LAPD

WHO IS THE “GIRL” THAT IS CHRIS BROWN’S NEW BABY BOO?

By the way I am requesting that you give illseed credit for the following info. We’re damn near going crazy over this stuff.

Keshia Chante. This is the girl that is allegedly the new object of Chris Brown’s desire. I am told that she was held up in questioning for 6 hours by the cops. Now, people on the Chris Brown side of things are very worried that Keshia might confirm what Rihanna has already told police – that the R&B star hit her. From what I understand, Chris has been dating Keshia for a while now and that he even used to date her a few years back.

But, who is Keshia Chante? You know her.

She is a Canadian singer in her own right, but she is known as the girl that is going to be playing Aaliyah in the new movie about the deceased love of my life. They are saying she actually called the cops when she saw “blood flying,” as one of my sources said. I heard Chris Breezy has a pretty prominent mark on his neck from Rihanna scratching him.

Two years ago Keshia gave Chris this special message.

Here they go and they get to flirting and Chris admits that he wanted her number.

Pictures of Keshia:

CHRIS BROWN LEFT RIHANNA?

Here is today’s rundown from another source. Remember, these rumors are especially interesting, because they all come from different places, but are surprisingly consistent.

According to unverified sources, Rihanna and Chris Brown broke up two weeks ago. Rihanna didn’t want to break up with Chris, but he was reportedly done with her. Management forced him to act “lovey” for the Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party. He didn’t want to. Rihanna’s publicist, in confidence, asked him to the same. He agreed. They attended the Clive Davis party together. Management allegedly asked for Chris to drive with Rihanna in his car after the event was over for paparazzi pictures.

According to my sources, Rihanna started acting like they were in a relationship still, not realizing that it was indeed completely over. Chris told her he wasn’t really with her, it was for publicity and that she needed to get it through her head that it was over. Adding insult to injury – like my previous source said – Chris told the  girl he had a date with that night to follow them WHILE Rihanna was in the car.

It would appear that Chris has completely moved on from Rihanna from this new girl. My source tells me that Chris was actually acting very childish for doing his in front of Rihanna. Suddenly, Rihanna snapped and that’s the situation got crazy, my sources say. Rihanna allegedly punched Chris in the face while she was screaming, and then he hit started hitting her back. Noticing there was blood, somebody called 911 and my sources say “the girl” is the one that made that call.

WHAT NOW? RIHANNA GOES HOME…?

As of right now, Rihanna’s headed to Barbados, I am getting from people. Not sure, because I heard she’s working with police. Chris is being flown out so things can settle a bit. They say he’s in Vegas now. The other “girl,” allegedly Keshia Chante – has been questioned by the label people to get her mind right, so to speak. Both Rihanna and Chris’ teams are trying to get her to side with them. If she testifies as an eyewitness saying Rihanna was the injured party, she could put Chris in jail for a maximum of 12 years. If the girl testifies stating Rihanna indeed made the first punch and if Chris’ attorneys can spin it in court, Chris can get off his charges all together. A lot is at stake.

Also, my sources are saying that, there’s proof lingering around and Rebel One Management (Rihanna’s team) is trying to stop it from leaking to the media. People are reportedly bracing for the worse in this matter, legally and otherwise. Rihanna’s team doesn’t want her to press charges, as it could possibly damage her name and career. So far, looks like she is going to work with the coppers. The LA Times is saying this already so any notion that she isn’t is likely FALSE.

DMX is officially on “lockdown status” in Arizona’s Tent City Jail for one of the dumbest moves an inmate can make — dude threatened to fight the guards.

After X failed to report for his medication, officials say the former platinum rapper began cussing at officers and threatened to “assault somebody to get some respect.”

DMX was immediately thrown into lockdown and punished with a “special diet that is a form of bread and water.”

It all started when he refused to report for work, telling officers, “I already have a job and don’t need this (expletive).”

Sounds like he’s finally reforming…

Law enforcement sources have now gotten specific with us… police took pictures of Rihanna’s injuries and they are “horrific.”

Rihanna’s injuries were severe — two “huge contusions” which swelled up on both sides of her forehead. We’re told she also suffered “a bloody lip and nose.”

One of the law enforcement people put it this way — the contusions “look like an MMA fighter or something … looked like she was growing devil’s horns.”

AND we have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.

And we now know this… Rihanna claims Brown struck her with his fists and that’s what did the damage. There was no object used in the alleged attack.

Rihanna refused treatment at the scene, but before she left cops took photos. We’re told the photos alone are “devastating proof of abuse.”

And we’ve learned it was not Rihanna who called 911. Someone in the area heard her screams and called.

We just got some BREAKING NEWS. According to a person close to Rihanna, the R&B singer will not file criminal charges against R&B singer Chris Brown for assault and battery.

Last night, Chris Brown was arrested and released on $50,000 bail in connection with an alleged assault against R&B singer Rihanna Fenty. Chris and Rihanna got into a scuffle while leaving Saturday night’s Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy party.

A person close to the situation told us that the scuffle was caused by the couple’s recent break up. As we reported to you weeks ago, the couple had been ratcheting down on their high-profile love affair. Numerous sources confirmed that Chris wanted to END the relationship – but Rihanna didn’t.

We should be clear. It’s not clear what occurred during the scuffle – or who did what to whom.

But things have changed since Saturday night. Rihanna does NOT want Chris Brown to be criminally punished for the alleged assault. According to an EXTREMELY reliable insider, Rihanna is NO LONGER assisting investigators in their criminal case against Chris Brown.

Unfortunately for Chris, that’s probably not going to make the charges go away. Police claim that, on the scene of the incident, Rihanna identified Chris Brown as the man who assaulted her. Additionally, police have physical evidence. We can OFFICIALLY CONFIRM that Rihanna’s face and arm were severely bruised in the incident and Chris suffered from minor bruising as well.

There is some evidence in Chris’ favor, however. For example, Rihanna did NOT call the police alleging that Chris assaulted her. It was a bystander that called 9-1-1. Shortly afterwards, the police arrived on scene and interviewed Rihanna.

We’ll continue bringing you periodic updates into exactly what’s going on in this story. Trust when we tell you that NO OTHER NEWS SOURCE in the world has more access to the people around Chris and Rihanna than us.

Also just to clear things up, there are a few FAKE rumors out there that we need to clear up:

50 Cent may have a new adversary within a day’s time.

The G-Unit leader has upset rapper Foxy Brown, who was briefly mentioned in the ballooning war of words with Miami heavy weight Rick Ross.

Foxy Brown says she is granting 50 Cent 24 hours to retract the line where she is briefly mentioned on “Try Me.”

On 50 Cent’s diss track, he says, “The cop f**ked a fox.” The line, although scant, refers to a brief, personal relationship Rick Ross and Brown had. It also refers to Ross’ past as a correctional officer.

Foxy Brown’s camp issued a statement that proclaims that she has no involvement in the conflict between the two rap titans.

In a statement to AllHipHop.com, Brown’s representative stated, “Foxy is giving that n***a 24 hour to retract that statement or she’s going handle Brooklyn Style.”

Ironically, after 50 Cent wrote the initial song, Rick Ross gave 50 Cent 48 hours to offer a more substantial response. 50 Cent returned with a number of insulting videos, including cartoons and a taped shopping spree with the mother of Ross’ child.

Currently, Brown is working on her new album Black Roses, which is expected to be in stores this summer.

Rumors swirled that Foxy Brown and Rick Ross were to be married, but those proved to be false.

EXTRA:

Finally, Ross brushed off the video of 50 with his child’s mother, denying that he doesn’t take care of his son and that he never had an actual “relationship” with the woman beyond employment. “I done dressed over 10,000 kids . She was a maid of mine,” Ross revealed. “And the child is being taken care of. It didn’t offend me. That’s what I expect from her.”

Beyonce might be mum on Etta James’ wacko verbal slap, but Barack and Michelle Obama, apparently, were taken more than a little aback.

A White House insider tells the Chicago Sun-Times the First Couple was “stunned” by James’ remarks. “It never crossed anyone’s mind that there was anything inappropriate about Beyonce singing that song,” admitted the source. Worse yet, “I’m sure some of the younger people involved didn’t even know she is alive!”

Etta said yesterday it was all a big joke. Hilarious.

50 Cent continued his Rick Ross bashing media tour by appearing on Miami’s Power 96 radio station First 50 says that Rick Ross doesn’t have the money he says he does stating “I have artists who have more money then Rick Ross’ continuing, “He’s a fraud… I feel like there is something wrong from a hip hop prospective for you to be a part of law enforcement and totally write your career that you are the biggest drug dealer in Miami”
When asked if he is scared the beef with Rick Ross could escalate to the level of Biggie and Tupac, 50 replied “In all honesty, if he went far enough for me to be agitated from my end, that could happen to him.” When asked if he would ever diss or attack anyone if they didn’t go at him first 50 said no, of course not, saying “it would make absolutely no sense.” 50 says the beef is part of hip-hop and if he didn’t respond to Ross “then that would mean I’m saying I’m bigger then the actual artform. That I’m not willing to compete as a hip-hop artist.” In the latest interview, 50 talked about dealing with his problems himself unlike Jay-Z saying Jigga “brought artists around him to deal with altercations instead of him having to deal with them. When he had issues with Jadakiss, it was Beanie Sigel and Jadakiss because he put someone in front of him. When he had issues with Cam’ron, he had Tru Life smack Cam’ron”

The Game appeared on Q93 in Seattle to give a little update on his current situation. Game says “I’ve been in the studio for the last 40 hours.” Game talked about the famous Madden video game battle with Bow Wow saying “Bow Wow was writing checks his ass can’t cash… I won’t on and handled that boy. I 21-stomped him” saying “I ended up beating dude by so much that it was crazy.” When asked what he thinks about the 50 Cent and Rick Ross beef, Game says “for the first time in four years man, I kinda like lo-key riding with 50 on this one. For the first time in four years, I’m siding with this dude.” Game goes on to say “Ross call me on my phone man… So I can get you out of this mess.”

The beef between rappers 50 Cent and Rick Ross has taken another turn, as the mother of Ross’ 2-year-old son has now come under a microscope.

Documents hit the Internet last night pertaining to Tia Kemp’s rap sheet, in an apparent attempt to undermine her credibility.

According to Broward County Courthouse records, Tia Kemp was involved in a felony case two years ago.

She was charged with one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, two counts of battery and three counts of child neglect/delinquency for the unnamed incident, which took place in April 2007.

Prior to the 2007 case, Kemp was in court for another felony case in 1997.

Miami-Dade County court records show the single mother received felonies for witness tampering and threats. The discovery of Kemp’s criminal record is the latest development in the ongoing war of words between Ross and 50 Cent.

The Miami-based rapper ignited talk of a dislike for 50, after he criticized 50’s legal drama with the mother of his son, Shaniqua Tomkins, on the song “Mafia Music.”

A response from 50 soon followed with “Officer Ricky (Go ‘Head, Try Me),” an attack on Ross’ previous employment as a corrections officer.

Days later, Ross alluded to the cause of the beef on Angela Yee’s Lip Service show on Shade45 XM/Sirius satellite radio show, while challenging 50 to come up with a better response in two day’s time.

The G-Unit leader obliged with an official declaration of war, a cartoon lampooning Ross and a video that featured Kemp denouncing Ross’ street image and verifying his stint as a corrections officer.

In addition, 50 Cent insults Ross in the video and refers to his mother as “the Nutty Professor,” while taking Kemp on a shopping spree.

The clip, which debuted last week on 50’s website, thisis50.com, has garnered talk among rap fans and furthered fueled the ongoing beef.

Meanwhile, a new video for Rick Ross’ single “Gang Related” hit the Internet, featuring Ross pouring out bottles of Vitaminwater.

Like 50, Ross has utilized the small screen as a vehicle with his recently released music video for “Mafia Music.”

Both rappers have voiced their views on each other on various radio shows around the country.

Fans will decide who has the better album as 50 Cent’s Before I Self-Destruct arrives in stores in March. Ross’ Deeper than Rap will follow his rival’s opus with an April release.

Since Breezy was seen jumping off with half of Europe, it seems as if Rihanna is not enjoying her time without the sidekick:

Rihanna might seem like a pretty tough lady in public. But off-stage, it’s a different story

“The Barbados-born beauty is a clingy girlfriend who can’t bear to let boyfriend Chris Brown out of her sight. “She has to have Chris around her 24/7,” a source close to Rihanna, 20, tells OK!. “If Chris is with her on a photo shoot and steps away for a second, she starts saying, ‘Where did he go?’” For her part, the Umbrella singer admits that being apart from her loved ones is difficult.

“My biggest challenge is being away from my family and friends, and all the people I love and I’m used to being around,” the Grammy winner tells OK!. “It’s hard for me to just throw that all away and be by myself.”

The source agrees. “If Chris isn’t with her, she wants to call and check in every second. She’s crazy about him.” “Rihanna constantly talks about Chris,” says the source.

So no doubt the 19-year-old Kiss, Kiss singer’s phone was ringing off the hook after he was photographed on Jan. 31 being mobbed by scantily-clad girls at Twenty One Club in Dublin, Ireland, during the last leg of his European tour!

Fantasia Barrino gave a shockingly candid interview with E! News. As we’ve reported before, Fantasia never received her High School diploma and has trouble reading.

Well, Now Fanny’s doing something about it. In the interview, she claims that ‘ll be going back to school to get that diploma.

Here’s an excerpt:

“I’ve been talking about for so long … I have a lot of young people who look up to me, like my 15-year-old brother and 7-year-old daughter. It’s something that I really need to do and that I want to do.”

And there’s more. Here’s how Fantasia claims that she got over the shock of having her home foreclosed:

“I had to sit back for awhile and had to get some things settled. I had been with a lot of people not doing what they said they were going to do.

I didn’t have time to sit back and cry. I didn’t have time to go to a mental health counselor. I had to keep my s–t on straight—excuse my language!—and handle my business, because it’s not just about me. It’s about me and my whole family.”

This morning, 50 Cent called into Big Boy’s morning show to react to the Miss Info Exclusive from last night, The Rick Ross rebuttal. LISTEN:

First Janet Jackson wants to whoop beyonce! Now singer Etta James wants some of Bey! Etta was unhappy that Beyonce sang her song At Last at the Obama inauguration. Well now she’s opening up about it.

In the below link, Etta puts Beyonce on Blast. Here’s what she says:

That Woman He had singing for him … singing My song. She’s gonna get her azz whopped.

I can’t stand Beyonce. She had no business up there singing … my song that I’ve been singing forever.

Sean Combs was supposed to co-host a birthday party for DJ Clue at club M2 on West 28th Street Monday night with Kobe Bryant after the historic Knicks/Lakers game in which Bryant scored 61 points.

But nobody warned Combs that the New York Police Department had an undercover gun detail searching guests as they came into the club. “Everyone wanted to make sure that the dozens of NBA stars in attendance, including Lamar Odom, Vince Carter and Pau Gasol, would be safe,” the insider said.

When Diddy arrived at 1:45 a.m. with a six-man entourage, a witness said he “flipped out” when cops asked to search him and his friends. “He went nuts, saying, ‘Why are you disrespecting me like this? Why are you doing this to me?’ During the commotion, one of his guys slipped away, unsearched, back to the car.”

Combs “stormed off and started to text DJ Clue asking, ‘What the is going on?’ and asked if he could go in the back entrance.” When told that the cops would have to search him and his friends there as well, Combs decided not to attend the party. His rep had no comment.

Combs has had issues in the past with hidden weapons and cops. In 1999, while he was dating Jennifer Lopez, a member of his entourage opened fire in a nightclub. A stolen pistol was found in one of Combs’ SUVs, but he was acquitted of gun-possession charges.

A rep for M2 – which is hosting a party
for Will Ferrell’s Broadway show “You’re Welcome, America. A Final Night With George W. Bush” tomorrow – said, “We always welcome the police to safeguard our patrons.”

At least Bryant was happy to be patted down and stayed until 4 a.m. “He was in the VIP area, where there were strict orders not to let any women in near him,” we’re told. On his way out, Bryant (who drank water), after ordering two bottles of champagne for his pals, left the waitresses a $2,000 tip.

FULL AUDIO OF RICK ROSS TALKING TO MISS INFO:

Ross is doing a street video for “Mafia Music,” the song where he sent a lyrical jab to 50 Cent.

Actor Eddie Murphy has never met Angel, the 22-month-old daughter he fathered with Spice Girl Mel B.

Multiple magazines have confirmed that Murphy has never met his daughter that is almost 2 years old, and apparently has no plans of ever meeting her.

In previous reports, the Coming to America star blames his absenteeism on Mel B, claiming “I won’t see my daughter because Mel B tricked me into having a baby”.

Mel told reporters, “I want Angel to know she has two parents who love her so much, but he thinks just writing a check every month is good enough.”

There’s always at least two sides to every story, but we hope they both get it together for the sake of the little girl.

Rick Ross recently gave his son’s mother a pass for the controversial interview she gave 50 Cent to promote her tell-all book about her life with Ross.

The Miami rapper spoke with radio personality Miss Info over the weekend approving his former girlfriend to meet and speak with 50 despite the current rap battle.

“You had your people contact my baby mama and she asked if they offered money to talk to me,” Ross told Info regarding 50. “You gotta understand, she has never made more than $300 a week in her life. Would I stand between her making a few dollars with this monkey? Of course not, go up there, accomplish whatever you feel you need to accomplish, he’s never hurt a f*cking bird, a fly. I’m pretty sure you’ll be surrounded by cops. He’s an informant. Just as a reminder, he doesn’t count in the South.”

Here’s a Preview of the first chapter of his new tell all titled “Dancing With The Devil”

Title: Dancing With The Devil: How Puff Burned the Bad Boys of Hip Hop by Mark Curry

(PAGE 79) Despite amazing record sales Mark Curry claims that Biggie resorted to selling dope and homemade duplicates of his cd from the trunk of his car just to earn spending money

(Page 94) Jimmy Henchmen told Tupac “why you blaming Puffy and Biggie. Them n*ggas aint got nuthin to do with this shooting. Nobody came to rob you. They came to discipline you and that’s what happened”
Side note: that’s a serious accusation, how do you know that was said?

(page 139) He writes that Puffy lured G Dep with a $350,000 signing advance and a 5 album deal. Puffy did not offer him any counseling on how to handle money. After he spent about 1/6th of the money he discovered taxes, production contracts and stipulations held up the rest of his money. In less than 6 months G Dep was broke, in debt to Puffy and lost himself to drugs

Also, In the book he mentions a story that was always a “hush-hush” story in the industry. The story of Puffy beating up Shakir Stewart at LA Reid’s wedding when he found out that Shakir was dating Kim Porter–this was after Puffy left her for Jennifer Lopez

I honestly don’t know if there is anything in this book we didn’t already know. I think the funniest part is that Big Meech checked Puffy. They were out on a yacht and Puffy was bragging about all his money and Big Meech said “yeah but none of your people have money. I have money and all my people have money too”. The book has a 24 page bibliography and most of the info could easily have been found on the internet. Also, he is not present for a lot of the stories he tells–its usually a second hand version

TAKE THAT,,,,TAKE THAT….

50 Cent has released a video with the mother of Rick Ross’ son.

The 8 minute clip was released today via 50 Cent’s website thisis50.com.

The woman, identified as Tiallondra “Tia” Kemp, confirmed she is the mother of William Roberts III, the rapper’s 2-year old son.

With 50 asking questions, Kemp explains her relationship with her child’s father.

“It’s sort of embarrassing, as you listen to his raps, you would definitely believe him,” Kemp states. “His jewelry is rented, the cars are being leased…It’s just sad. I just want to prove the facts.”

Regarding the controversy last summer of Ross’ stint as a corrections officer, Kemp confirms the story to be true. She claims the rapper lied to her about his previous employment when they lived together. According to Kemp, her suspicions were confirmed after speaking with the Miami rapper’s sister and finding resignation documents.

50 also makes a distinction between Kemp and Brooke, the mother of Ross’ daughter. 50 alleges the latter is a high-end call girl.

Further in the video, Kemp confirms the recent story of Ross taking back a truck he had given her, which followed a heated child support deposition over the rapper’s assets.

“I’ve been driving it for 2 years. I was very surprised he would take it,” Kemp stated. “Right now I have to get someone to pick me and the kids.”

Later, 50 proclaims his intentions to show Kemp a great time, stating slyly “we gonna do some shopping, have a good time and then…y’all can’t see all of that!”

After further insulting Ross by showing a personal picture of his mother and referring to her as the Nutty Professor, the viral video shows Tia Kemp being taken around to various shopping boutiques to pick up shoes and furs on 50’s tab. Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” is utilized as the soundtrack.
