It's been a long road between these two. And we mean long. Also, bumpy.
After the highly publicized 2009 assault, which we all wish we could forget but will always remember, Rihanna and Chris Brown's tumultuous relationship seems to have struck up again after the former couple each posted tweets about love that appeared to be directed toward the other.
The Twitter mystery started when Breezy posted, "Love U more than u know!"
Two minutes later, Ri-Ri responded with, "I'll always love you #1love."
Coincidence? Maybe, but that's hard to believe. Rihanna has already defended why she even follows Brown on Twitter and has shared that she's still a "fan" of his and "excited" for his comeback, which is fine. We get it.
But what's going on here? Is the duo thinking about rekindling their romance or are these tweets totally unrelated? Was it just a little something to get off their chest or is this their way of making something public?
Jennifer Hudson will be releasing her new memoir

Idol standout, Jennifer was singing in her church choir in the Southside of
Chicago. This uplifting memoir tells the story of Jennifer’s meteoric rise from
American Idol toDreamgirls to her amazing weight loss on the megablockbuster
Weight Watchers diet plan. With the Weight Watchers brand endorsing her,
Jennifer gives her fans tips for embracing a healthy lifestyle in order to lose
weight and reclaim their bodies.
Full of stories from her American Idol days, her

GOOD DEEDS;Magic Johnson Wants to Unite Hip-Hop
Against Homophobia:
Well I feel it’s a start!
Since Magic Johnson famously revealed that he was HIV
positive in 1991, the retired NBA legend has been one of the most successful
advocates for HIV prevention and education and become a face of knowledge and
change for the epidemic. And now the famous mogul is taking on a new cause –
battling homophobia. Johnson recently revealed that he wants combat homophobia
in hip-hop as well as stereotypes surrounding HIV
infections.
While speaking with The Huffington Post Canada about
his HIV prevention and education efforts, Johnson explained that he was inspired
to make changes in the way minority communities perceive and treat HIV by the
white gay community. “I learned a lot from the white
gay community because they had gotten their community, rallied them, educated
them and did a wonderful job about driving the numbers down. That is the best
approach that I’ve seen; it’s been the most effective,” explained
Johnson. “So what
we try to do in our community is bring those results to us. So I’m working hard
to continue to educate minorities about HIV and AIDS and we’ve got to band
together. We’re too fragmented right now, but if we can do that, we’re going to
do well.”
Johnson now wants to take elements of that same
approach and apply it to the hip-hop community.
“As a hip-hop fan, you realize
that homophobia is still an issue everywhere, but especially in the black
community. When people are scared to talk about it, that’s how the disease
spreads. So what have you been doing to get that risk reduced?” said Johnson.
What we’re trying to do is reach out to the hip-hop community because they have
power — power with their voice, power with that mic in their hand and power with
the lyrics that they sing. I have a lot of friends in that industry and so what
we’re trying to do is rally them to get behind the cause, deliver the message to
these young people that HIV and AIDS is big and it’s not going anywhere. They
can make a difference right away by speaking out, because they have a big fan
base.Johnson continued, “So we’re
finding out that a lot of them want to be involved; they’re just looking for a
group like ours to latch onto and be a part of it. We haven’t really had any
push-back from the hip-hop community.”
Johnson explained that he will soon announce a number
of his celebrity friends who are joining his cause in fighting homophobia and
HIV. “We’re going to name everybody in a little while
because it’s more than one person. We’ve got about five or six people that we’re
talking to. We’re going to come out next year with everybody and we’ll have a
nice big press conference and what we’re going to do, what our plan is, because
it’s so important that we rally — not just them, either. I need the Hip-Hop
community but I also need the basketball players and football players. We need a
little bit of everybody, so that’s what we’re working on
now.”
Well, kudos to Johnson for recognizing the negative
impact that homophobia has on society as well as HIV infection rates and trying
to combat the problem head on. Though Johnson has yet to reveal his list of
celebrity supporters I’m sure they will be many who will get on
board.
NO MORE TEENAGE DREAMS; RUSSELL BRAND Files for Divorce from Katy Perry
Russell Brand has filed for
divorce from Katy Perry . In the docs, filed in L.A., Brand
cites "irreconcilable differences." The two were married Oct. 23, 2010 in India.
They have no kids.
The divorce docs say there
are "community property assets" -- it's a sign there might not be a prenup, or
if there is one it doesn't cover all of the earnings and other assets they
accumulated.
The docs do not give a date
the couple separated.
Russell has released a
statement, claiming, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her
and I know we'll remain friends."
Russell proposed to Katy in
India on New Year's Eve 2009 -- nearly two years ago ... to the
day.
Sources said the couple was
having problems, evidenced by the fact that they spent Christmas apart and
neither was wearing a wedding ring.
Although it's not 100%, based
on what we now know it appears Brand may have blindsided Perry by filing the
divorce petition.
Russell appeared on
"Ellen" just this month, slamming divorce rumors claiming, "I'm really happily
married ... I’m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the
pledge. I’m still alive."

Tatoo.
So I see Drake isn’t alone . Punk azz Young Berg went
and did the same.
The strange thing here is none of them knew her like
that….Creepy isn’t it?

Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana are 'totally dating'
She became the envy of millions of women worldwide
when photographs emerged of her locking lips with Bradley Cooper for upcoming
movie The Words earlier this year. And Zoe Saldana better get used to being
the focus of the actor's jealous female fans, as it has now been claimed the
pair have become more than just friends following their celluloid hook up in
June. A source has claimed the pair have started to tell their friends and
family that they are in a relationship, and were planning to spend the holidays
together on a skiing break in the Rockies.
The source told E! News: 'They are totally
dating.' The claims come just months after the pair first sparked rumours
they had taken their friendship to the next level following a picture of the
couple together at a New York nightclub.
Jennifer Williams Says: I don’t have a problem with
Evelyn She has one withme.
Jennifer Williams, star of VH1′s hit reality series
“Basketball Wives has 99 problems and feuding with co star Evelyn Lozada isn’t
one of them. With season 4 of Basketball Wives around the corner, iPower 92.1
FM’s caught up with Jenn to clear up her dating life, alleged fight with Evelyn
and her relationship with her cast-mate.
Don’t expect for her ex-husband Eric Williams to get a
kiss for New Years, Jenn is adamant that chapter of her life is
over. ” I am dating,
not one specific person though…I’m not trying to rush into
anything.”She is interested in someone who’s not an athlete so we shall
see.
When asked about rumors of another fight between her and her sassy co
star
Evelyn Lozada she replied: “We’re definitely not on
speaking terms…..If you follow me on Twitter, I don’t do subliminal tweets. I
don’t throw jabs at my friends. If you have my phone number, just text me or
whatever. She threw a couple of jabs at me on Twitter…I don’t have a problem
with her. She has one with me. I definitely think there’s a bigger issue, but
you guys will have to tune into Season IV to figure it
out..
She did spill the beans on the rumors of her and
Evelyn getting physical (we’re talking “throwing handbags”) at Shaunie bday
dinner.”You know what… (Laughs) I don’t
think I can confirm or deny, but I just want to say this. I think anybody that
has tuned into Season I through III knows that I’m definitely not a fighter,
that’s not even in my character whatsoever. You definitely won’t find me
fighting in Philippe Chow and I’m just going to leave it at that she
said. She
still hasn’t patched things up with castmate Royce so there may be a fairy tale
ending to this saga . Jenn states” I don’t even have an
issue with Royce. I just felt like we connected on a different level with the
whole makeover for her”. If her friendships with Evelyn or Royce fizzle
forever she may find a friend in her new castmates Kenya Bell and Kesha Ni’cole
Nichols. Kenya Bell is the ex-wife of Golden State Warrior Charlie Bell.
The
second new cast member is Kesha Ni’cole Nichols. She was dumped in 2009 by her
ex-fiance, San Antonio Spur Richard Jefferson, via e-mail the night before the
wedding. PS. Don’t expect to see Meka Claxton to receive nay blows on the show,
she wasn’t invited back to film the show.

Do you think Jenn is the cause behind the downfall of her and Evelyn’s
friendship?
THE JAILBIRD BLUES; Man in Prison Sues Jamie Fox and
Tyler Perry for Stealing Script Idea?
Shamont Lyle Sapp, who is serving time in Oklahoma for
10 bank robberies, filed a lawsuit, claiming he pitched the idea to Foxx and
Perry but they cut him out the deal. According to court documents obtained by
TMZ, Shamont had the idea to unite the three characters in one film — but his
version wasn’t a comedy about bank robbers … it was a drama about a mental
hospital.
Shamont is also suing Fox Broadcasting and producer
David Zuckerman for a total of $4 million in damages. I’m sure you remember
the preview they showed at the BET Awards a few years back, check it out
here.
LOL!
WOW…. Alfonso Ribeiro SPEAKS OUT About Original Aunt Viv And SAYS "That B*TCH Was Crazy!"
Talk about reinforcements? Who knew that Alfonso
Ribeiro was so funny? During a recent stand-up routine, the actor lets actress
Janet Hubert (the first Aunt Viv) have it! He calls her a few choice words and
questions her sanity..... During a pretty funny comedy routine, Alfonso
Ribeiro reveals that early in his career, he was up for a role on "A Different
World" but later chose to shoot "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"
pilot.
The rest, as they say, was history......but he added
season one was a mess because of the first Aunt Viv. Basically he
said,
"That b*tch was
crazy."
He said that Janet made the set a very hostile
environment and would often just "go off" on people. He also called her "Coo
Coo." But once she was fired......they returned to being one big happy tv
family. Sounds like Will may not be the culprit
afterall....
Watch Alfonso talk about Janet at the 2:25
mark:
But really Al…B*TCH?
THE COUGAR MISS VIVICA IS BACK ON THE
PROWL!
Self-professed “cougar” actress Vivica A. Fox partied
the night away in an Atlanta area nightclub recently.
Fox, fresh out of a relationship with her much younger
boy-toy Omar “Slimm” White, was spotted without her engagement ring, walking

range.
Is Viv desperately seeking Slimm’s
attention.
Viv’s new cutie on duty…
And here she is flashing her bare ring finger…
*sigh*
Isn’t Vivica a bit too old for these high-school
games? I dunno about you… Gurl GROW UP!
LIL’ KIM HANGS WITH 50 CENT AND THE MONEY
TEAM
Lil’ Kim was the only female in the crew while kicking
it with 50 Cent and the Money Team. The fellas, including boxing champ Floyd
Mayweather, Jr., enjoyed some down time over the Christmas
vacation.
Earlier in the week, the Queen Bee hit the studio with
her “Magic Stick” collaborator to record some new material. It’s unknown where
their latest work will end up, but Kim is expected to drop her EP any day now
and announce a new record deal at the top of the year.
Over the summer, Kim declared her loyalty to 50 and
G-Unit while sharing the stage with G-Unit South signee Shawty Lo at Hot 107.9’s
Birthday Bash 16 in Atlanta.
RIHANNA IS LOOKING FABULOUS AS SHE VACATION BACK IN
HERHOMELAND OFBARBADOS
We've always known Rihanna is smoking hot, but these
pictures of her only cement it further.
The RnB pop princess, 23, will be the
every of every girl across the globe as she parades her incredible curvaceous
figure during a dip in the sea in Barbados. Leaving little to the imagination
in a barely-there orange bikini, Rihanna displayed her womanly physique with
curves in all the right places and a flirtatious attitude to
match.
Obviously benefiting from the high-energy dance
routines she performed almost every night on stage during her tour, Rihanna's
body looked toned yet curvy. She hit the beach in her native Barbados with
family members and friends - of course, she was the centre of attention
throughout the duration of her time on the beach.
Family bonding: Rihanna very nearly had a wardrobe
malfunction while cuddling her brother
At one point she
had a wrestle in the sea with her brother, revealing her playful side as she
tried to dunk him under the water - but her brother was up to the challenge and
the both ended up flying into the sea head first.
As she emerged though, she was dangerously close to an
embarrassing wardrobe malfunction as the left side of her bikini top was pushed
up a little too far. She also headed into the water on her own to let the
waves crash against her tones body, lifting up her arms and jumping as they did
so.
This was most definitely a well-deserved, relaxing
break after Rihanna went through a punishing series of shows for her world tour
- clocking in 101 concerts around the globe.
She also hit the water aboard a
jet ski with a young girl named Ali.
And,
at one point, the woman who has been appointed the official ambassador of youth
and culture for Barbados picked up a young boy as she was surrounded by fans and
photographers.
Of course, being used to such attention, Rihanna took
it in her stride and appeared calm and relaxed in all of the pictures that were
taken of her.
UMMMM GABRIEL WHO IS LADY WITH HALLE’S
BABY?
Has Gabriel Aubry moved on from Halle Berry? The
former Versace model was spotted in the park with his daughter Nahla and the duo
was joined by a "mystery" woman and her two kids.
Gabriel Aubry and Halle Berry's gorgeous 3-year-old
daughter Nahla was spotted having a jolly old time at LA's Pan Pacific Park.
Loving these pigtails! She's getting so big!
The Daddy/Daughter duo wore matching outfits (plaid
shirts and jeans) and looked like they were fresh out of an American Eagle
catalog.
As they hit the swing set, rode a scooter and played
in the sand, little Nahla had to take a break.
Seems like Nahla knows the mystery woman's child
pretty well. Hmmm....
And although Gabe's visits must be supervised by a
nanny (according to the court docs), I suspect this WAS NOT the nanny as she had
her OWN kids to tend to.
Does Gabe have a new woman?
Hmmm..
AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT
WALMART” FILES “THE BACK RACK”
I’m not sure why, but I just can’t shake the urge to
run up and put one of those back titties in a headlock and unloading fist blows
into it. Maybe it’s for the sheer fact that I can put a back titty in a
headlock, maybe not; All I know is I wanna do it so bad!!
MAY YOUR 2012 START WONDERFULLY BLESSED AND HIGHLY
FAVORED!!! EFREM
