It look like Momma Oprah has about 2.54 million reasons to breath a sign of relief seeing that one of the worlds biggest stars interview didn’t land on deaf ears.
Sunday night’s “Next Chapter” with superstar Rihanna gained a ton of viewers as she opened up to the pro talk show host in ways a Producer can only dream. Robyn — as known by her lovely country of Barbados– held nothing back discussing her hectic profession, her love of family, the demons that surround us all, and how she feels about her former flame Chris Brown.
For me it was a 45 minutes (minus the commercials) of sheer excitement. I prefer more revealing interviews than the “fluff”. And, Oprah — nor Rihanna didn’t disappoint.
Previous guests on the show included The Kardashians (1.1m, 1.2m), Lady Gaga (0.8m), Steven Tyler (0.9m, 1.2m) and Pastor Joel Osteen (1.6m).
Clearly Rihanna and Chris Brown are through caution into the wind as both are featured on each others remix. While I personally don’t agree –and I am thankful I don’t have kids– I ain’t gonna lie both of the tracks are pretty impressive.
It’s just sad that this generation refuses to be accountable for their actions and set an example. Luckily enough I’m grown. Thus I don’t need a role model. But I’ll pray for you kids out there.

Chris Brown f/ Rihanna – ‘Turn Up the Music (Remix)’
Billboard.com penned open letter to both Chris Brown and Rihanna expressing their disdain for music — and anything else– collaborations. I can’t add anymore to this debacle. All I know is if she gets beat down again I’m going IN…(but this time) on her!
It looks like a lot of today’s top music stars are a bunch of smoke and mirrors. While other artists sit on the shelf waiting for their shot at the charts, acts like Rihanna and Young Jeezy aren’t performing as well as many would have hoped they would.
Sure they look the part, but numbers don’t lie.

I’m not one to get into the lives of celebrities anymore. What’s fact, and what’s fiction becomes all little too overwhelming for my taste. But Rihanna draws my attention for some reason. But its not for her musical accolades, or popular — yet dreadful– music. It’s watching a young girl spiral out of control before our very eyes.
Aside from the boozing and partying that’s been on record as of later regarding the blasian beauty, overall appearance wise Ri-Ri is looking very disheveled these days.
Apparently the multi-platinum artist decided to show her love for Tupac by getting “Thug Life” tattoo’d on her fingers. And went on to tweet the following:
“All these b****es screaming that 2pac back ♫ #THUGLIFE.’
Then:
“Tat my f***in name on u girl so I know its real!!! #MINE”
While I won’t try and process what the young kids are doing these days,Rihanna appears to be screaming for help. Somebody should proabbly do something –and fast- before its too late.
It looks like this good girl has gone bad.. but for real this time.
Well how about that. Almost two years after Chris Brown took his hands to Rihanna’s face — an action reciprocated by the international Pop star– Chris is now allowed to be close to her without risk of going to jail.
Moments ago a restraining order was just lifted by a judge reducing the original order to a ‘level one’ order of protection. Chris and Rihanna can have contact as long as he does not harass, annoy, or molest her.
While Rihanna was not present for the court hearing, her attorney Donald Etra was sending her blessing.
Truth be told I’m just glad both of them are able to put this ugly incident behind them once and for all. Man that had to have been a nightmare for ole CB. Maybe next rack up them Grammy awards next year — or at the very least be present.

Rihanna and Eminem’s massive single “Love The Way You Lie [Part 1] now has a follow up.
Per That Grape Juice:
Rihanna and Eminem’s ‘Love The Way You Lie (Part 2)’ has surfaced. The song will be included on the Bajan’s upcoming album, ‘Loud’, amongst 10 other tracks of her elephant calls. Give it a listen below:
This song provided one of the rare instances where I didn’t wish Rihanna would be quiet like Shy Ronnie. She kept her appalling vocals in check (for the most part) and sounded acceptable in her soft falsetto. Eminem did his thing as well and delivered a powerful verse.
“I didn’t get to go to the wedding. Luckily, Katy is in the same industry as me, so she understands and she knows how it can get.
“But I was fortunate enough to be able to throw her bachelorette party, so I got to be involved somehow.”
I can’t believe the things we call news these days. I’ll sleep easier tonight knowing that Katy was so understanding.

They were found guilty of providing excessive prescriptions of drugs to the late model and actress.
