Critics said that musical TV would never work. Obviously, they’ve never heard of ‘Glee’. With less than 10 episodes under their belt, the show is proving to be one of the biggest shows of the year, with not only great weekly ratings but also fantastic showings on the iTunes Top 200 Download lists. The show currently has 10 songs holding strong, including their versions of Queen’s ‘Somebody to Love’, Heart’s ‘Alone’, Kanye West’s ‘Gold Digger’, Rihanna’s ‘Take a Bow’ and Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’. In total, the musical catalog for the show has surpassed the 1 million download mark and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.

The outpouring of support and unsolicited advice to Rihanna after her controversial physical and violent altercation with Chris Brown is not yet over. Both men and women in and out of the movie industry have given their two-cents worth on the Rihanna and Chris Brown incident. However, there is one advice which Rihanna should heed, since it is coming from someone who has been there and survived alive. Robin Givens will always be the face of modern abuse considering how her abusive relationship with Mike Tyson left such horrific memories in the minds of people.
Robin Givens said the Rihanna and Chris Brown left a sour taste in the mouth as it reminded her of her own horrific experience. The 44-year old Robin Givens appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live and said that hearing the news that Chris Brown attacked Rihanna continues to shake her up. She said she has spoken to a lot of women and found out that they all have a common story to tell. Robin Givens, who documented her suffering through the 2007 book “Grace Will Lead Me Home”, said Mike Tyson has never been convicted of domestic abuse. He started hitting her even before they got married in 1988 and the violence escalated after the wedding. However, she always took Mike Tyson back until she got her senses back and divorced him in 1989. Robin Givens said Rihanna does not have to explain herself to the media but she has to take care of herself.

Paula Abdul must have been on heavy medication when she took part in an interview wherein she credits herself for the successes of Rihanna and Beyonce. Paula said “My videos stand the test of time. They are like the almanac for every performer. Even Rhianna has come up to me and said ‘I hope you don’t mind.’ And Beyonce. You can see the influence of what I’ve done. It’s really fun to see that I’ve left a mark. It was my idea to create an animated character. It takes a lot of focus, a lot time, and a lot of money.” Does anyone even know what she’s talking about?

Yes Ladies and Germs, the 90’s boyband Boyzone is very much alive, in fact, they go into a fight very recently.
According to reports, the Irish lads of boy band Boyzone got into a liquor-fueled fight with Rihanna’s band in a Sydney club a few days ago.
The reason for the fight was because the “boys” decided to chat up a Riri band members’ lady friend. So CLASSY!
Stephen Gately (also known as the gay one) said, “It was over a girlfriend of one of Rihanna’s band members. We just wanted to chat and be friendly and this guy tries to rough us up. It was his girl and then all the other guys from the band start getting fresh with us – so it was on there and then.”
Security broke the fight up and gave everyone involved a ’stern talking to’.
We bet Princess Riri was not pleased!
I guess Boyzone won’t be opening up for her anytime soon!
But really, those “boys” should’ve thought about what they were doing! Coz really, Rihanna’s band has much more of a career than those five have now.

When Britney Spears’ ‘Blackout’ album came out, everyone pretty much knew that this was it for her and all hopes of her actually getting accolades for her work has gone down the drain. But then again, we can end up getting corrected. The pop wreck actually took home the award for Best International Album at the NRJ Music Awards which was held in Cannes, France on Saturday. The fallen pop star beat out big names like Mika, Amy Winehouse, James Blunt and Rihanna. It’s unbelievable. This is such a travesty! I demand a recount! There’s no way she could have beaten Rihanna!
