Rihanna’s Dad: “If it were me, I’d move on.”

By

Dustin Gary

Rihanna‘s father, Ronald Fenty (a salesman and freelance clothing designer in Barbados), told People.com that is daughter is doing fine back at home and spending time with her girlfriends while she heals.

Ronald Fenty said that when he first heard that his daughter had been attacked by Chris Brown, he didn’t believe it. “I know my daughter,” said Fenty, 55. As for Brown, he said, “You think you know somebody, but you really don’t.” Brown, 19, allegedly attacked Rihanna, 20, in Los Angeles last Sunday. He was arrested and may face charges from the district attorney. Describing Rihanna’s current condition after seeing her on Thursday, Fenty said, “There is some bruising. She will be all right. I think so.”

He adds, “At some point, she will speak out. I hope she will stand up for women all over the world.” Fenty, a salesman and freelance clothing designer, said Rihanna is spending time with girlfriends while she heals. While Fenty said he wouldn’t tell his daughter what to do, he did say, “If it were me, I’d move on.”

The last time Fenty had seen Rihanna and Brown together was in July. “They seemed pretty happy,” he recalls. “I don’t know what went wrong.”

Jay-Z on Rihanna: “I just think we should all support her”

By

Dustin Gary

We wouldn’t go as far as saying that Jay-Z was the man who was single-handedly responsible for Rihanna‘s rapid shoot to stardom, but he did play a major role in her career, and has thusfar. When asked for words of support for Rihanna at his Two Kings dinner:

“This is a real situation,” he said in Phoenix at the Sprite Green presents the Third Annual Two Kings dinner with Jay-Z and Lebron James, as part of the NBA All-Star Weekend. “You have to have compassion for others. Just imagine it being your sister or mom and then think about how we should talk about that,” the hip-hop mogul, 39, continued. “I just think we should all support her. She’s going through a tough time. You have to realize she’s a young girl, as well. She’s very young.”

Asked if he’d seen Rihanna, Jay-Z replied, “I don’t want to go into it.”
SOURCE

Even though a person in Jay-Z’s camp claims he said something to the tune of: “Chris Brown done f****d up now, he better watch his back” this is Jay’s first time actually speaking out in public about the incident.

Allen Iverson Cuts His Hair; “It’s A Wrap,” He Says!

By

Dustin Gary

Allen Iverson chopping his braids off was the talk of NBA All-Star Weekend 2009.

For the first time in 13 years, the Answer buzzed his hair, sporting a new clean cut look just in time for All-Star Weekend. Not since his first couple seasons in the league have fans seen Iverson without his signature cornrows. In a video posts on Yahoo, A.I. showed up in the locker room for the All-Star when his NBA colleagues witnessed the shocking changed, howling and laughing at the sight.

“It’s a wrap,” Iverson says.

According to Yahoo’s spots blog, it wasn’t until the 1997 rookie game that the b-ball showed up with his now trademark braids. It was a straight East/West Rookie back and forth back then, no sophomores (that didn’t take off until a year after the lockout year, which went without an All-Star weekend), and AI showed up with braids.

SOURCE

Looks like this is the beginning of the end of that cornrow trend. Carmelo, Trey Songz, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes (he had dreads, but still), Omarion, BowWow … the list goes on. Who’s next? Lloyd told us back in July 2008 that he wouldn’t be cutting his anytime soon, but… things change over time.

Continue reading to peep a shot of his teammates’ reaction to his new look. The East ended up getting defeated by The West with a final score of 146-119. Maybe he should’ve kept the braids for luck?

John Legend at Sobe Lifewater’s Club Sports Illustrated Event in Las Vegas

By

Dustin Gary

John Legend performed at Sobe Lifewater’s Club Sports Illustrated event, which celebrated the unveiling of the most anticipated Sports Illustrated issue of the year – the annual Swimsuit Issue – where Bar Rafaeli is this year’s cover girl. Sources tell Gossip On This that the party actually started in NYC where the models gracing the issue threw a little bash. Then everyone boarded a Southwest Airlines plane and flew from NYC to Las Vegas where the party continued at LAX nightclub. They must have some deep ass pockets to afford to do all that. Doing big things in a recession, we hear that!

T-Pain and a few cast members from Saturday Night Live created a music video parody that aired on the popular sketch comedy series a couple of weeks ago.

Faizon Love hit With Assault Charges; Faces Up to 4 Years in Prison!

By

Dustin Gary

Actor Faizon Love (famous for his roles in “Bebe’s Kids” and “The Parent Hood”) was recently hit with an assault charge!

Actor-comedian Faizon Love was charged with felony assault Monday for allegedly punching a man outside a West Hollywood hotel, reports the Associated Press. Prosecutors say the 40-year-old was involved in a heated argument outside the Standard Hotel on Jan. 7 that turned violent. He is accused of punching a man twice. The entertainer was booked at the sheriff’s station in West Hollywood and faces up to four years in state prison, according to the district attorney’s office.

Damn, four years in jail for punching a dude twice? That’s ridiculous! But Faizon Love is a big dude. Two punches from his big ass probably felt like getting cracked over the head with a couple of bar stools or something.

John Legend Calls Chris Brown/Rihanna Situation an “Awful Story”

By

Dustin Gary

John Legend added himself to the list of celebrities who have had something to say about Chrianna-gate ’09. This is what the singer told People.com:

“I know both of them. I was surprised when I heard because it doesn’t strike me as something Chris would do,” Legend told PEOPLE Thursday at Las Vegas’s LAX during the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue release party. “You never know what’s inside people or what can trigger that,” he added.

Although Legend has never recorded with either Brown or Rihanna, he knows them both from award shows and just being in the music industry together.

“It’s an awful story,” he said. “I feel terrible for both of them but if Chris did what they said he did, that’s unacceptable. He has to accept the consequences of it.”
