Rihanna’s Most Reassuring Quote About Chris Brown So Far

Rihanna speaks candidly about her reunion with Chris Brown

We really, really want to believe this one, for Rihanna’s sake. Not that it’s not something you hear from women who go back to the men who abused them all the time, but at least this quote is better than the brush-off “none of your business” statements she’s made in the past. After appearing all over the place with Chris Brown and writing cryptic tweets about their time together for the past few months, RiRi spelled things out for her Rolling Stone cover story.

“He doesn’t have the luxury of f—ing up again,” she said, by way of assuring the world that she won’t stand for any hint of abuse again. “That’s just not an option. I can’t say that nothing else will ever go wrong. But I’m pretty solid in the knowing that he’s disgusted by that. And I wouldn’t have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility.”

She also reiterates what she’s been saying all along about this: that she doesn’t care what we think about her reunion with the man who assaulted her in 2009. “I decided it was more important for me to be happy,” she said. “I wasn’t going to let anybody’s opinion get in the way of that. Even if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I’d rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it.”

We hope so, Rihanna. We really do.

Karrueche Tran Finally Figures Out How To Play The Chris/Rihanna Drama: With Toplessness, Honesty

Karrueche Tran Rolling Out Cover

Karrueche Tran, what have you been doing since Chris Brown allegedly dumped you in October? It took you this long to realize what a pile of celeb gossip gold you have in your back pocket? You are the other woman in the Chris Brown/Rihanna drama, after all. We would be more surprised if you didn’t use the exposure to further your career, like posing topless for the cover of Rolling Out magazine.

Rihanna Tweets Another Blunt Photo, Which Goes Nicely With These 20 Other Pics Of Her Blazing Up

News flash: Rihanna really likes weed, you guys! Ok, this should come as a surprise to exactly zero people, least of all Lena Dunham. Just yesterday we told you how the Girls star criticed Riri for her stream of pot-themed tweets and Instagrams. So maybe this most recent shot of the singer is especially dedicated to Lena!

We’re not going to get involved with their beef, but Rihanna definitely wasn’t fooling when she went as the Queen of Ganja for Halloween. It’s always 4:20 by Rihanna’s watch. To prove it, we’ve gone ahead and assembled 20 pictures of Ri blazin’ up…from this past year alone! We’re not going to include those infamous pictures of her at Coachella last year, because we’re still not totally convinced that those aren’t corn chips that she’s eating off that bald dude’s head. But there’s quite a few others in there, from all kinds of occasions. To be fair, some of them could be hand rolled cigs. But it’s just as likely as she and Chris Brown being “just friends”…

Heidi Klum Demonstrates Her Hot Table Dancing Skills On Jay Leno’s Desk

If her insane costumes are any indication, Heidi Klum has got to be really really fun at parties. And the super-modeling legend confirmed our theory last night when she swung by The Tonight Show and she ended up dancing on Jay Leno’s desk in a sheer black dress! It all started when she described how she spent the Golden Globes, (un)officially known as the most raucous night in Hollywood.

“I had fun. I was with my friend Lorraine Schwartz, she’s like one of the best jewelry designers,” said the former Victoria’s Secret angel. “We were at the Harvey Weinstein party afterwards, and she was like, ‘This party is so boring, we need to do something fun.’ And she’s like, ‘Go and dance on the table,’ so, someone had to.” And she was just the one to do it! “So I did. And, you know, I had a few glasses of champagne and so I was like, ‘Why not?’”

Rihanna Gets Dissed By Lena Dunham For Reuniting With Chris Brown, Smoking Weed

Newly-minted Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham made some unfortunate headlines recently following some unkind remarks about her from shock-jock Howard Stern. Luckily that all ended peacefully, but now the multi-talented Girls star is throwing some shade of her own: At pop goddess Rihanna! Oh girl, didn’t you read our post about Riri’s most vicious Twitter slams? This could be bad news, you guys.

Lena appeared on Alec Baldwin’s podcast Here’s The Thing (lulz) and admitted that she “used to be really into” Rihanna. But lately she feels that her DGAF attitude has gone a little too far, and worries about the effect that she’s having as a role model on her young fans. “I don’t want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on Instagram and I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna,” Lena explained. “Like you know, she left Barbados, she’s had this amazing career, she’s won a Grammy. She’s talented.”

She cites Rihanna rejoining Team Breezy as a major turning point for her. “Then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed. And it cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I’m 95 years old.” Many of Ri’s Navy are starting to wonder if her “good girl gone bad” shtick isn’t just an act, and fear the way she’s influencing children who look up to her.

Rihanna Joins The Ranks Of Big Celebrity Tippers At The Laugh Factory

Rihanna left a great tip at a comedy club on Friday

This has got to be one of the best PR moves a celebrity can ever make: After getting an $80 bill at the Laugh Factory in L.A. on Friday, Rihanna reportedly asked her waiter what his biggest tip ever was, according to TMZ. He said, $100, so Rihanna gave him $200 and said, “Now I’m your biggest tip.” Sure, she had to guess the story would make the rounds later, so it could have been a very calculated good PR move, but this is Rihanna — she doesn’t care what we think, remember?

This act of generosity places Riri among an elite group of stars with good reps among waitstaff and bartenders. There are a bunch of sites out there with rankings of the best celebrity tippers (all based on secondhand reports from the waiters, of course). Johnny Depp, David Beckham, Charlie Sheen, Dan Ackroyd, Bill Murray, Drew Barrymore, President Obama, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Drew Carey and Hulk Hogan have all made such lists for their generous gratuities. More than dollar amounts, we’ve always enjoyed the sites, like this old-school one, that gather tales of the stars’ behavior to their servers. The celebs with the worst tipping reputations, because we know you’re even more curious about those, include Tiger Woods, Jeremy Piven, Madonna, Britney Spears, LeBron James and Mick Jagger.

What does this say about their personality? You could say the good tippers remember their humble roots, value good service, or, again, know these stories can come back to benefit or haunt them. On the other hand, maybe the bad tippers are forgetful, or they’re just used to someone else taking care of the bill-paying for them.

What do you think, waiters of the world? Give us your analysis and stories in the comments!

Rihanna’s Giant Camo Coat: Is She Longing For Barbados’ Beaches Or What?

Rihanna leaves a studio in LA in a crazy camo coat and marijuana leaf dress

We don’t actually much to say about the above photos; they are here simply because it is our favorite “Rihanna doesn’t give an eff” look of late. She’s leaving a recording studio in Los Angeles (and yes, Chris Brown left the studio shortly after her) wearing this sleeping-bag-esque camo coat over a loud marijuana-leaf-printed dress. What temperature is it in L.A. these days, anyway? We assume it’s not quite as pleasant as a good day at the beach in Barbados. And as onlookers, we too wish RiRi could be back in bikini weather. Except we always like the idea of her recording more. But maybe NOT with Chris Brown. Basically, we are about as conflicted about these photos as her military-pot themed outfit. We will just shut up now and let you enjoy.

Also, here are some vintage (2012) Rihanna doesn’t-give-an-eff looks:

Rihanna Takes On, Not One, But SEVEN Covers For Complex Magazine

Rihanna Does Seven Covers For Complex Magazine

She really doesn’t do things half-way, does she? Rihanna is on — wait for it — seven covers for Complex Magazine’s February to March issue. Each cover is an homage to an album. For instance, the cover you see on the above left is in tune with her very first album — Music Of The Sun — released back in 2005. Notice the sweeter, more innocent vibe. The one on the above right is for Good Girl Gone Bad. The one on the lower left is inspired by Rated R, and the lower right is for her latest album, Unapologetic. You can see a slideshow of all seven covers here, and tell us what your favorite is.

Rihanna Does Seven Covers For Complex Magazine

There’s also a major interviewto go with the covers, of course. She brings up her Instagram, often half-naked photo habit — we all know how much Rihanna posts, right — saying, “It’s narcissistic, but whatever—everyone does it. I’m capturing personality… Everybody has their thing they like or don’t like to see. It’s all in your head. That’s why people take their own pictures, because it’s difficult for someone else to capture what you seek.” There’s a sense of bravado while talking about the making of Unapologetic that appeals most to us. “When I was making this record I had no intention except the truth. So whatever is there is real. It’s raw. That’s why the album is called Unapologetic,” she says. And this is the part we like, “I held back before. I didn’t show a lot of myself. I was very guarded. I needed to be open and free and fearless. Basically say, ‘F— it.’ What’s the worst that can happen? They’ll hate me? They’ve done that before.”

Rihanna Calls Chris Brown “Stupid” And “Not A Man” On Twitter (We Think)

To be honest with you, we’re getting to the point where we really think that Rihanna is using her Twitter feed exclusively to mess with us. Oh, and to tweet bikini selfies. But otherwise it’s mostly to keep us guessing about the state of her relationship with Chris Brown. Days after accidentally sharing a night club with Breezy’s ex Karrueche Tran, something seems to have gone down between the controversial couple, because Rihanna set her Twitter feed on fire with some furious tweets.

“Boys will be boys!!! Cause they can’t be men,” she wrote this morning, and yesterday she posted a picture on Instagram with text that read “I have to stop saying ‘How stupid can you be’ I think people are starting to take it as a challenge.” A second one soon followed that read ”You can have results or excuses not both,” with a caption simply saying “Choices.” We’re not sure what’s up, but Riri seems pissed!
