RIHANNA ON HER BOOTY, AND WHAT SHE DOES TO STAY HEALTHY »

“I have egg whites and pineapple for breakfast with hot water and lemon,” the Barbados beauty, 20, tells the News of the World’s Fabulous magazine. “For lunch I have fish and potatoes. I hate vegetables, but I make myself eat them. For dinner I have fish again.

“I keep working at it [she's referring to her booty now, lol -- Dustin] as I want it to be perfect,” she says. “It makes my clothes look good – and guys like it!”

Here’s another set of photos featuring Hollywood’s new favorite couple. Or soon-to-be favorite couple. Or favorite publicity stunt. Whatever the case may be, Chris Brown and Rihanna are making headlines, especially with all of these new photos of them caking … hard. Here are a few photos of the two in Paris at the John Galliano fashion show this past weekend. [ IMAGES VIA ULTIMATE RIHANNA ]

Hip-hop mogul and Phat Farm CEO Russell Simmons has publicly released a statement announcing his endorsement for Senator Barack Obama, saying that he was inspired by the diversity among supporters of the senator from Illinois.

“Today I am announcing my personal endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States,” announced entertainment mogul Russell Simmons Sunday. “From the sidelines of the primaries and debates, I have been particularly inspired by the fact that Sen. Obama has built an unprecedented, national movement comprised of people from all ethnic, racial, political, social and economic backgrounds. Although I have great respect for the accomplishments of Sen. Clinton and I have personally worked with Sen. Clinton successfully on issues concerning education, prison reform and poverty, I am now compelled by my own personal conscience to publicly state, ‘I support and endorse Barack Obama for President.’

As the Chairman of the non-partisan, nonprofit The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, it is my personal opinion that Sen. Obama’s campaign for President has and will continue to transcend race in America and have a profound positive impact on the very issues I have been fighting for my whole life. Many of you know my work as Chairman of the non-partisan, nonprofit Hip-Hop Summit Action Network. Hip-Hop as a cultural phenomena is also about transformation and taking action to end poverty, war and ignorance. While I am endorsing Senator Obama as a private citizen, I am in complete solidarity with the transformative consciousness of the growing number artists and young people from the hip-hop generation that are overwhelmingly supporting Obama.”

If you are a registered voter and live in either Texas, Ohio, Vermont, or Rhode Island, make sure you exercise your rights as a citizen and participate in your state’s primary or caucus tomorrow. Out of the 2,025 delegate votes needed, Barack Obama is currently sitting pretty with 1,202 votes, while Hillary Clinton only has 1,042.

Rapper The Game turned himself in last night (March 2nd 2008) to begin serving a 60-day weapons possession prison sentence. 28-year-old Jayceon Taylor was sentenced to a 2-month prison sentence last month after he pleaded no contest to a felony charge of possession of a firearm in a school zone.

Dozens of friends and supporters showed up with the rapper rocking “Free the Game” t-shirts as he turned himself in, accompanied by his lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley. Game will reportedly be held in a separate area from the general population. In addition to serving the 60 days, The Game was sentenced to 150 hours of community service and three years probation.

It is rumored that the rapper probably won’t even serve his full term, but once he is released, he is expected to continue work on his upcoming album, titled LAX., which will reportedly be his final album before “going into retirement.” The album features production from Dr. Dre, Cool & Dre, Scott Storch and others.

NAOMI CAMPBELL RELEASED FROM BRAZILIAN HOSPITAL » Supermodel Naomi Campbell is officially out of the hospital, as of Friday (Feb. 29th), five days after she was rushed in for emergency surgery, the hospital said.

“She recovered very well from her surgery,” the Sirio Libanes hospital in Sao Paulo said in a statment. “Doctors signed her release, and she left in the afternoon in a helicopter that someone sent to pick her up.”

It was recommended by Dr. Jose Aristodemo Pinotti, the Brazilian surgeon who attended to Campbell, that the British supermodel stay in the Brazilian hospital and get some rest before returning to work. Reports from last Monday stated that she went in to get a cyst removed, but Dr. Pinotti said that Naomi did NOT have a cyst removed, but would not specify what exactly she was treated for. “When a patient asks for discretion, be it Naomi or just plain Maria, I respect their wishes,” he told the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper on Friday.

SNOOP DOGG // EGO TRIPPIN’
DOGGYSTYLE // GEFFEN

The ‘Dogfather’, aka Snoop Dogg, returns strong, once again, with his ninth studio album appropriately entitled Ego Trippin’ (Doggystyle/Geffen); it hits stores everywhere March 11th so make sure you pick up a copy. Guest appearances on E.T. include Too $hort and Charlie Wilson, who is currently at work on his forthcoming project, amongst others.

Snoop Dogg’s album Ego Trippin’ is an exuberant magnum opus to me; probably Snoop’s most progressive work. I really enjoyed it. From the enticingly-addictive Redd-produced ‘Sexual Seduction’ to the rural-tribute to the late Johnny Cash. There are no fillers.

FROM L TO R: ANTHONY, JUVENILE, MICAIAH (TOP), AND JELANI & JOY (BOTTOM)

Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr., a 17-year-old high school sophomore, has been arrested and charged with allegedly killing his mother, Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Joy Deleston (age 39), and his two younger sisters, Micaiah (age 11) and Jelani (age 4). Young Jelani just so happens to be the daughter of former Cash Money recording artist Juvenile. The Central Gwinnett High School student has been booked on three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault and is being held in the DeKalb County Jail.

“It is heartbreaking to lose someone in the way that we lost her,” Gwinett County Sheriff Butch Conway told WSB-TV Channel 2. “I am very angry that these three lives were so violently taken from us in a totally senseless and cowardly act.”

According to a statement released by Juvenile’s spokeswoman, the rapper was “extremely saddened to hear the reports.” At press time, he had no further comment. My condolences go out to the families of these victims, including Juvenile, and we here at Think2wice ask that you all keep them in your prayers.

Above is the official cover of The Truth (Capitol Music Group) from the ATL act Cherish in stores April 29th. Ooh, I like it; striking.

Here is the Think2wice video premiere of ‘She’s Worth The Trouble’ by ‘R&Bay’ crooner J. Valentine from his album Conversation Piece (J Records).
