Rihanna Covers May 2009 Vibe Magazine

Dustin Gary

Rihanna‘s face is what you’ll see on the May 2009 issue of Vibe Magazine where they go in on the alleged fight between her and boyfriend Chris Brown, which occursed on February 8th 2009, exactly 2 months prior to today’s date. We think it’s a little too soon to be making this situation a “cover story,” unless you’re a tabloid like Star, Enquirer, etc. Accredited and respected publications like Vibe know better. Or at least we thought they did.

Some of the biggest names of the celebrity entertainment world, Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna, have teamed up with Parlux and Jay-Z’s Iconic Fragrances to launch a series of new celebrity fragrances, beginning in summer 2010 with the launch of Rihanna and Kanye’s signature scents. Parlux’s CEO Neil Katz confirmed the news to People.com, adding that a yet-to-be-announced “well-established female artist” will join the trio. And no … it’s not Beyonce.

For his part, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is looking forward to the to expanding his empire, saying in a statement, “We are excited for the opportunity to partner with Parlux and their management team in the launch of these dynamic new brands.”

Parlux’s CEO Neil Katz continues, “We are extremely excited to begin work on our projects with Rihanna and Kanye West. Each is an extremely highly regarded celebrity at the top of his or her profession who is undoubtedly going to make an indelible impression in the fragrance industry, just as each has done in the entertainment world.” And it seems that the stars are just as confident about the impending success of the scents. In an unusual move, they will receive payment in royalties, profit sharing and Parlux stocks rather than cash. And while there’s no word yet on who the mystery artist is, Parlux dismisses the idea that the star in question is Beyonce.

By

Dustin Gary

Busta Rhymes said he wants to be the next Will Smith. No, not the rapping Will Smith … the acting Will Smith. Busta said he’d definitely pursue a full-time acting career on television if given the chance. He “got to know about what that syndication money look like!”

The Touch It hitmaker, real name Trevor Smith, is an avid follower of actor Hugh Laurie’s medical drama House and the hit crime series CSI. The hip-hop star has tried his hand at acting with small roles in films like Shaft in 2000 and 2002’s Halloween: Resurrection, and admits following in Will Smith’s footsteps and landing a role in a TV series would be a dream come true.

He says, “Yes I would (pursue a full-time TV career). I’m a big fan of House. I’m a big CSI: Miami fanatic. And they pay good. The Will Smith money is still crazy, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and all that. I got to know about what that syndication money look (sic) like.”

By

Dustin Gary

For all of the men out there who have an undying love for Halle Berry, you should definitely NOT be expecting to wife her up … ever. Not even her man/baby daddy is going to get the chance to wife her on account of her being “done” with the whole marriage thing. But she does want more kids though, which means she definitely wants more… Well, you get the point! Get a load of what she told Harper’s Bazaar in her May 2009 cover story.

Harper’s Bazaar: Would you ever get married again?

Halle Berry: No. I’m done. Also, I happened to find a person who feels done too, and he’s never even been married before. So it works.

Harper’s Bazaar: More children?

Halle Berry: Yes. My pregnancy was amazing. I was happy that whole time, I felt good, I had energy, I was like Superwoman. I wish I could feel like that for the rest of my life, that’s how fantastic it was.

Hugh Jackman “Heartbroken” Over X-Men Movie Leak

By

Dustin Gary

Contact Music says Hugh Jackman claims he’s been left “heartbroken” after his new movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, was leaked online and viewed by hundreds of thousands of people … and reviewed by us, hehe. And it doesn’t even come out ’til May 1st.

The film which charts the beginnings of the Marvel superhero is not scheduled to be released in the UK until April 29th. Speaking at a press event in Sydney, the Oscar host admitted he was upset at the leak.

“It’s a serious crime and there’s no doubt it’s very disappointing – I was heartbroken by it,” Jackman said. “Obviously people are seeing an unfinished film. It’s like a Ferrari without a paint job.”

Twentieth Century Fox said the FBI and Motion Picture Association of America are investigating the leak.

Solange Knowles Dropped from Record Label

By

Dustin Gary

Just one week after Kelly’s “amicable departure” from Columbia comes news of Solange being dropped from her imprint, Geffen, due to poor sales of her latest album, Sol-Angel and the Hadly Street Dreams. They say she was released after the label decided not to renew her contract after a 1-year deal with them. Damn!

The disc, which was her sophomore album, was released last summer (August 2008), and after over 6 months of circulation has only sold 138,000 copies to date. Black Voices says the poor performance of the disc has prompted label execs to bring their working relationship to an end.

“Geffen did a one-off deal with Music World Entertainment for Solange and wasn’t interested in doing a new contract with her. People at the label really liked working with her because other than her infamous news outburst in Las Vegas, she was a constant professional. There were challenges dealing with her camp, but Solange was great to work with. In the end, the CD didn’t sell despite Solange’s countless high profile appearances,” the record label source told AOL BV’s Jawn Murray.
