Rihanna and Chris Brown got into a huge controversy a couple of years ago. The pop stars became tabloid fodder when Brown was arrested for assaulting Rihanna after they had attended a pre-Grammy Awards soiree.

A lot has happened since then, Rihanna became even bigger and Brown managed to salvage his career despite beating up his girlfriend. The two logically separated after the incident, with Rihanna calling it quits.

But we’ve been hearing reports that Rihanna may not have completely closed the door on that chapter in her life. In fact, the rumors are that Rihanna is actually flirting with Brown bigtime and may actually want him back.

Rihanna actually started a Twitter conversation with Chris, which everyone obviously saw. But it did not stop there. She has visited Brown as he was recording in a studio twice and she has been calling and texting him. This, despite the fact that Brown is in a relationship with Karrueche Tran since 2010.

Rihanna is really turning out to be a bad girl.

A fab coif gets the job done even on the dreariest of personalities. One either wears it or owns it. Over the years of Hollywood glitz and glamour, celebrities are remembered for their timeless contribution to fashion and hairstyles. We have all coveted these famous tresses at some point in our lives . Armed with a magazine clipping, and hopes of a great copy cut and color of any one of Hollywood’s celebrity hair trendsetters … it’s off to the salon for what could be a life changing coiffure.

Let’s back track on some of Hollywood’s iconic hairstyles through the years .

•  Twiggy - she owned this infamous blonde bob and became the face of of the 60's.

• Farrah Fawcett - heaven's angels might as well be falling from the skies and queue at the salon for Farrah's 70's flip.

• Jennifer Lopez - although she always kept her hair long , we just loved  it's luscious waves and length. Something about the color of her hair just gave it that sensuality.

When it comes to entertainment and celebrities, at any one time there is almost always a pool of super influential people that seem to be either pulling all the strings or covering all of the magazines. Here's a quick rundown of the top 10 most influential celebrities in entertainment at the moment:

Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell's celebrity status and entertainment industry influence may have started relatively small in the UK, but he's definitely spread his wings of late. The TV producer, entrepreneur and showbiz judge was the brainchild behind talent show The X Factor, which has now gone stateside in a massive way. As one of the main judges on the show he's got the power to make people's careers.

Oprah Winfrey

Few people in the entertainment industry have had as long and as influential a career as Oprah Winfrey. Her show has been nationally aired since 1986, her support for Barack Obama was significant enough to be considered a contributor to his Presidency and her fortune weighs up in its billions.

Kim Kardashian

Though Kim hasn't really done a great deal of note or been around for that much time, she has suddenly propelled herself into more celebrity magazine shots than Marilyn Monroe. With 37.5 million results showing up in Google, clearly she's one of the entertainment industry's most influential celebs right now.

Rihanna

Like Kim, Rhianna has also thundered to the top of the pile when it comes to paparazzi attention of late. While she's definitely got the musical success to back this up, it's probably fair to say that some of the attention comes more as a result of her personal life than her music.

Jay-Z & Beyonce

Everywhere and seemingly doing everything, Jay-Z and Beyonce come as a pair these days with a supersized celebrity influence to boot. Everything they produce turns to gold and anywhere they go they are trailed by a band of hardened photographers.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (Brangelina)

Though their influence seems to be on a downward spiral, as a combo they're just about keeping a hand in the mix. Their film output has slowed of recent years, but they still attract a lot of celebrity magazine attention. However, you know you've got a lot of clout when the media has to come up with a unified name for you as a couple.

Johnny Depp

In terms of cinema, has any other man been as culturally influential as Johnny Depp. Starring in both hugely successful and massively quirky roles he has helped to redefine the male acting world. His films have grossed more than $7 billion worldwide and he has been listed in the 2012 Guiness Book of Records as the highest paid actor. If that isn't enough, when Disney execs initially criticised his portrayal of Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean he told them to either trust him or kick him off the film. The outcome was obvious.

Jennifer Lopez

Not really much of an obvious choice, however, as well as a career in music and film, she has also recently been confirmed to return next year as one of the judges of American Idol. She's also been linked with a role in Glee, so expect J.Lo's influence to rocket over the next year or so.

David Letterman

Surely a no brainer. David Letterman's show has been going since before the Cretaceous period and his show has been watched by more people than the moon landing. If that's not enough, appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman have been enough to make careers skyrocket.

Justin Bieber

While Justin Bieber's influence with anyone over a certain age is slim to non-existent, when it comes to kids and younger teenagers he's pretty much their entire world. With sneaky conversations with the like of Rhianna and David Beckham at LA Lakers games, he's definitely got the kind of influence to pull in the celebrity attention too. However, to cap it all, the video to his single Baby is the most viewed and talked about video on YouTube.

Rihanna is joining the bandwagon of R&B/hip-hop stars that are sprinkling their music with house clubbing flavor. The 22-year-old singer enlisted the help of DJ Chew Fu to remix selected tracks from her Rated R album.

The DJ himself has been excitedly promoting the details of the collaboration on his Twitter page. According to MTV, Rihanna has selected these 10 tracks to be remixed:

1. Mad House (Chew Fu Straight Jacket Fix)
2. Russian Roulette (Chew Fu Black Russian Fix)
3. Rockstar 101 (Chew Fu Teacher’s Pet Fix)
4. Wait Your Turn (Chew Fu Can’t Wait No More Fix)
5. Photographs feat. Will.I.Am (Chew Fu 35mm Fix)
6. Rude Boy (Chew Fu Bumbaclot Fix)
7. Hard feat. Jeezy (Chew Fu Granite Fix)
8. G4L (Chew Fu Guns in the Air Fix)
9. Fire Bomb (Chew Fu Molotov Fix)
10. Stupid In Love (Chew Fu Small Room Fix)

The tracks will be available on May 25, a month before she goes on her “Last Girl On Earth” tour. I can’t wait to hear how the Wiley hit-maker will work his magic on Rihanna’s sound.

Rihanna was rushed to hospital after a sold-out concert in Zurich, Switzerland April 19th with injured ribs.

Rihanna was rushed to hospital in a limo shortly after the concert and escorted into the Hirslanden private clinic by her driver/bodyguard. The clinic refused to give any details as to her ailment, but it was later learned that the Umbrella singer had slightly injured her ribs during her energetic performance and had it checked out as a precaution.

She left the clinic shortly before 3am. that same morning and later that night she was on stage at her next venue, continuing the European leg of her ‘Last Girl On Earth’ tour right on schedule.

It’s going to be a sizzling summer for RiRi. MTV just announced that her “Last Girl On Earth” tour will begin on July 2 in Seattle and will make 25 stops all over the US. The road show ends on August 25 in Chicago. View the complete list of tour dates here.

What can we expect from Rihanna’s summer tour? For one thing, newbies Ke$ha (who badly needs a promotion from being a “newbie”) and Nicki Minaj are the opening acts. Fans can also look forward to a bigger production. “We’ve never done a tour to this capacity,” Rihanna said in an interview with AOL. “The production is unbelievable and the costumes… we just took it to a whole new level. Visually and sonically it’s going to be a big step up from the last time.”

Tickets will go on sale at LiveNation.com on Friday, April 9, so mark you calendars!

Sibling rivalry. Twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse of The Suite Life On Deck were pitted against each other in the Favorite TV Actor category, but Dylan won and took home the famous blimp trophy, beating another set of brothers—Nick and Joe Jonas of the show Jonas.

Katy Perry—best in slime! After changing into a bright yellow floral dress and a blue wig on stage, the singer presented the favorite movie actress award along with Jonah Hill. When she opened the box that held the envelope, Nickelodeon’s traditional bright green slime hosed Katy down. How ironic that she tweeted this just moments before the show: “Hope I don’t get none of that disgusting booger slime on me @Kids Choice Awards 2night… I’ll slap the ho that ruins my weave, nails, face!” Check out a photo documentary of the slimy moment here.

The robot dance is in! Although her red carpet outfit was a disaster, Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” performance did not disappoint. It must be her new stage performance “thing”—a giant dancing robot that’s been tagging along with the singer in her shows.

Check out a complete list of winners and other highlights here.

Her Spice Girls days are far over. Melanie Brown, then known as Scary Spice or Mel B, takes a page off R&B singer Rihanna’s stylebook with this spunky hairstyle.

She was spotted last week at the opening of Cats at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. Look, even her daughter Phoenix is sporting the Rihanna-like ’do.

A few days later, Melanie steps out with a more polished Rihanna hairstyle at the grand opening of “Matt Goss Live from Caesars Palace” in Las Vegas, Nevada.

You know what they say: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Remember Mary J. Blige’s ‘do?

She arrived at the 2010 Echo Awards red carpet in Berlin on Thursday wearing a plunging Alexandre Vauthier jumpsuit paired with Christian Louboutin pumps.

She later changed into a black and white ensemble to perform “Rude Boy” with the help of futuristic lighting effects and a huge electronic robot.

Does her jumpsuit make you green with envy?

They went barhopping in Scottsdale, Arizona, and one particular bar had a little stripper who gave Rihanna a very special lap dance. Check out this video from TMZ:

The night was extra special for the R&B star. If you remember, she didn’t get to celebrate her 21st birthday last year, following the assault charges against her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

Happy birthday, RiRi!

If you’re wondering how she spent Valentine’s Day, it was all business for the R&B star. She was busy with a photo call in Sydney, Australia, where she was promoting her Rated R album.

She was wearing a belly baring, off-shoulder tribal top and dyed white jeans. She matched her outfit with ethnic accessories. And is that a new dark streak on her bangs?

Rawr.

Kiddie fashion manages to make its way to the grown-ups’ closets, as long as fashionistas, retailers, and designers deem it wearable.

Remember the printed thermal sweaters and pajamas trend a couple of years ago? The likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears made “fresh out of bed” a must-have look.

Now it’s an updated version of the baby frog suit. It looks adorable on babies, with the different colors and animals that retailers put on the hoodie. Check out Rihanna’s take on it.

She was spotted at a fan-meeting event on February 11, 2010 in Seoul, South Korea. To keep herself warm in the winter weather, she wore a leopard sweater with animal face hoodie. How… cute.

The R&B singer touched down in Seoul, Korea yesterday. She arrived at Gimpo International Airport wearing a rockstar-meets-military-chic outfit. And I know you’re checking out her irresistible Louis Vuitton bag!

Her visit to Korea is part of an overseas promotional tour to support her fourth album Rated R.

In the meantime, check out her newest video, “Rude Boy,” which was released just this week. Directed by Melina Matsoukas, “Rude Boy” features a lot of graphics, colors, and of course, sexy costumes.

“[The video is] completely different from any other video I’ve shot before,” Rihanna said. “A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. ‘Rude Boy’ is more playing along the lines from my roots… We used a lot of color, but also the costumes were very Jamaican dance-hall queen type.”

Her outfit was designed by stylists Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi, who have helped Rihanna with other ensembles in the past. Other performers at the pre-Super Bowl event in Miami Beach were Justin Bieber, Young Jeezy, and Timbaland, but Rihanna soon stole the spotlight when she performed a number of songs from her recent album, Rated R, including “Rude Boy” and “Russian Roulette.”

Check out her live medley here. Just don’t get too distracted by her hot outfit.

“Not talking was a big thing for me,” Rihanna told W Magazine. She managed to keep mum and stayed away from the craziness last year when the media was all over the Chris Brown story.

In February 8, 2009, her then boyfriend and fellow R&B singer Chris Brown was arrested and sentenced to community service and five years of probation for felony assault, following a domestic violence complaint. Turns out that behind the façade of a happy couple, Rihanna was a victim of violence. It’s been a year since the pre-Grammy incident, and both are leading peaceful and separate lives.

“I’m glad I didn’t talk to people, because I was able to deal with things in my own way, without saying the wrong things or giving people the wrong impression,” Rihanna added. The article wasn’t all about her past rough year. She also talked about her career, the crazy things she does with her “glam team,” and about being “a little older than my real age.”

Inspired by her latest album, Rated R, the photo shoot shows an edgy and naughty Rihanna garbed in designer threads such as Michael Kors, Christian Dior, and Prada.

Check out W’s cover shoot slideshow here, or watch the behind-the-scenes video below.

This ’do is definitely making a “Russian Roulette.”

As Fergie posed with the rest of the Black Eyed Peas, her cobalt blue Emilio Pucci mini was simply Fergilious.

Miley Cyrus was definitely ready to “Party In The USA” with her teal Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress.

Carrie Underwood sure had a penchant for straps that night. Her Edition by Georges Chakra gown looked great, especially when she received her Best Country Collaboration award.

Before the show, Katy Perry tweeted: “[sic] I’m excited 4 today, all the performances r going to be fab & beauty is gonna be on point! Today I’m channeling Indian Betty Paige princess!” It looks like her Zac Posen dress did the job.

Multi-winner Taylor Swift glittered, literally, with her off-shoulder KaufmanFranco gown.

Sleeves are back on the red carpet style radar. Beyonce, who got the most nods at the Grammys, stood out with her detailed fishtail gown.

Rihanna brushed off rumors that she was blacklisted from the Grammys. Her Elie Saab Haute Couture gown made the feathered collar a must-have fashion detail.

Jennifer Nettles of The Sugarland gets a little help from Posh Spice with this Victoria Beckham cutout dress.

Hot mama Heidi Klum’s nude Emilio Pucci minidress stood out, thanks to the stylish embellishments.

Newbie singer Chantel “Chani” Christie’s bodice minidress spelled hot.

See the winners and highlights here.

Now this. We spotted her last Saturday at the Staples Center watching an NBA game. It doesn’t matter whether she was rooting for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the L.A. Clippers. I was too preoccupied checking out her ‘do.

See it in different angles.

What do you think? If there’s one thing Rihanna’s good at, it’s pulling off a wild ‘do.

The latest star to join the bandwagon of celebrity autobiographers is R&B singer Rihanna. She enlisted the help of Simon Henwood, the guy who designed her Rated R CD cover, to be the artistic director of her upcoming tour to release a new book called Rihanna: The Last Girl on Earth. The 144-page book will be released in hardcover on June 29.

While there are no official tidbits about the book’s contents, I’m pretty sure it will talk about Rihanna’s career struggles, a revelation about alcohol and/or drug experimentation, and a no-holds-barred discussion about her abusive relationship with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Call me psychic!

Rihanna has alwas been a sexy enigma to me. Sometimes she is unbelievably hot and other times I think an airplane is going to land on her forehead. She is very comfortable with her body it seems and that is always a good thing. The girl can sing and her hairstyles are always “refreshing.”

I don’t know how GQ does it or who even reads GQ anymore, but they seem to get the hottest photoshoots of women. Their style smokes Maxim’s in my opinion and my opinion is the only one that matters.

Oh, you thought I was going to mention Chris Brown? Well I’m not and the only reason I just did mention him was to let you know I am not going to mention him. Thank you Swingers for that line.

POW.

So says The Examiner. I’m usually good with coming up with witty stuff to write here, but this one just blows my mind. If there was ever going to be a case where you wanted to legitimize Rihanna having herpes, the last option would be to go through Tila Tequila. If Oprah had said it, everyone would believe it, but now? Hell, now Rihanna could have herpes, syphilis and the plague and nobody would believe it.

If anything Tequila has just bolstered Rihanna’s image. Nice work.

However, since I am a searcher for the truth I have to find out if this rumor is true and due to my current status of being in prison I can’t visit or have sex with Rihanna I will just have to ask her here. So RiRi, do you have herpes?

Sneaky, sneaky.

So apparently Rihanna had some naked pictures posted of herself earlier this year that were the most popular naked pics known to man. Well, she was a bit embarrassed to know that her mom was aware of the pics and you can’t blame her. Her mom always told her to condition her hair before posting any nude pics online. Lesson learned RiRi.

However, she wasn’t embarrassed enough to do a radio interview with Hot97 and say:

If you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him.

Women around the world, listen to her. She is an ambassador for females everywhere and speaks the truth. It is our duty as men to forward this message to all girlfriends in the universe so that we no longer suffer another day without naked pics from our lady friends.

If you were wondering whether or not you should feel bad for me, well I can tell you that you should. Start crying a river.

At the MLS Western Conference Championship soccer match in Carson, California last Friday, David Beckham sported what may be described as a partial Mohawk.

Is this a dated photo of *NSYNC? Nope. Justin Timberlake is growing his ‘fro back to play the role of frizzy-haired Napster founder Sean Parker in a new movie called The Social Network. The movie is about the evolution of Facebook and the social networking craze.

Is the undercut craze back? Rihanna seems to be embracing her inner Billy Ray Cyrus with this updated version. She wore her new look last week with a swept-up greased style, but for last Monday’s performance in the Brixton Academy in UK, she let it all hang loose.

Fresh from her divorce from Sean Penn, Robin Wright dramatically went from blonde to brunette. She showed off her new look at the recent screening of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee in New York City.
