What do Rihanna, Lenny Kravitz and Josh Groban have in common? We've thought long and hard, and we can't come up with anything besides the fact that the three will perform at the upcoming NBA All-Star game. Rihanna will perform the half-time show, while Lenny Kravitz will do his thing before the tip-off. Groban has been tasked with singing the national anthem; given Christina Aguilera's recent Super Bowl flub of "The Star-Spangled Banner," Surge Desk bets that Groban is studying the lyrics 'round the clock. To get you in the spirit of the NBA All-Star game, which is scheduled for Feb. 20, ...
Rihanna kicks it up a notch with the rather kinky new music video for her single "S&M." The video guest-stars Mario Lavandeira, better known as infamous blogger Perez Hilton. Rihanna leads him around on a leash and tickles him like a dog. Watch the new video. But despite the sexual connotations of the term "S&M," Rihanna says pretty explicitly -- and we mean that in the G-rated way -- that the song and video are "not about sex." In this interview with MTV, Rihanna explains what she was going for with the video. MTV Shows The video's director, Melina Matsoukas, seems to back ...
Rihanna had a great year on the charts, but her success didn't translate to her tattoo. The superstar singer wanted to mark her fame by getting a tattoo on her neck, specifically the words "rebel flower" in French. However, Rihanna had the tattoo artist darken her neck with the edgy ink spot "Rebelle Fleur," a big no-no, according to translation expert Jessica Hertz of Accredited Language Services, a U.S.-based translation company. The problem, according to Hertz, is that French, like many other romance languages, is usually written with the noun preceding any adjectives that modify it. So ...

(Dec. 2) -- A few days ago I noticed that some of my favorite websites were gone. When I ventured onto entertainment sites like OnSmash and Dajaz1, which feature the latest music, videos and interviews from music artists, I was greeted by the following ominous notice: "This domain name has been seized by the ICE -- Homeland Security Investigations." Homeland Security? Was I partaking in some virtual terrorist cell network under the guise of a Rihanna video? I soon learned these were only a few of the 82 domain names seized by the federal government under the claims that they each engaged in ...
What's on First Lady Michelle Obama's iPod? Here's the latest. It was "take your child to work" day at the White House on Thursday and Mrs. Obama met with children of Obama administration staffers for a 43-minute session. She was accompanied by Bo, the family's Portuguese water dog, who was so playful that at one point Mrs. Obama excused him from the room, promising he would return at the end. The kids asked a lot of questions, including one about what kind of music the first lady likes. "Oh, that's a good question. I like all kinds of music," she said. "All right, so this is what's in ...
Blind Item! Which Los Angeles Dodger was spotted canoodling with a pop princess at Italian eatery Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California? Sources say that the two lovebirds groped their mutual tree branch and didn't stop to come up for air! Someone send out an "SOS!" Dear God I'm terrible at that. I didn't even get far enough to call Matt Kemp something asinine like "The Heartful Dodger." Anyway, he and "Hard" to listen to Rihanna are a couple. Or they're just good friends. Or he's her "beau." Her "boytoy." She's his "galpal." Hey the next time you see Steve Kmetko walking ...
On Thursday, the National Coalition for Men (yeah, me neither) released a statement calling on pop princess Rihanna, the very public victim of physical abuse at the hands of her fellow chart-topping ex-boyfy Chris Brown, to "woman up" and accept responsibility for her role in their now infamous battle royale. In an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, which airs at 10 tonight on "20/20," Rihanna will for the first time talk about what happened that night, and the NCFM says the "Disturbia" singer isn't telling the whole truth."According to court records and other sources, Rihanna struck Brown in ...
The Lakers are in full-on cruise control for an NBA Championship (and break the curse of 2002!) right now. Which would explain why rumors that Andrew Bynum is dating pop star Rihanna are surfacing all over the place.But our sources have told us that they are NOT dating. And by "sources" I obviously mean "X17Online, via TMZ" who spoke to the Lakers superstar recently about their purported relationship.Bynum was a man of few words when we caught him out running errands yesterday. We asked him about the dinner with Rihanna and if it was a date, to which he replied, "No." To clarify, we asked if ...
