RUMOURS|Rihanna and Chris Brown are BACK TOGETHER

Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the "Umbrella" singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE.

"They're together again. They care for each other," says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs's homes.

Adds the source: "While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves."

In its latest issue, PEOPLE reports that Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday one week ago. "He called to wish her happy birthday," a source told the magazine. "They've reached out to each other. It's been mutual."

Brown was booked by LAPD for making criminal threats but the case has not yet been presented to the District Attorney, who will ultimately determine which charges, if any, will be prosecuted.

Old School Friday::[When I Was in 10th Grade]

Hello Everyone, I know I've been away from OSF for a bit, I apologize.

Today's "Old School Friday" theme is "When I Was in 10th Grade". I had to rattle my brain for a min on this one, In Britain, we don't go by grades, so I wasn't sure if it was the same thing. But I a bit of research and 10th grade is the equivalent to year 11 England, which was in 2005 for me.

And you know what was the hottness back in 05, Mario's "Let me Love You". It was written by Ne-Yo and spent an incredible 9 weeks at #1 on the billboard Hot 100. I can even remember jamming to it back then, song was fire.

Have a fab weekend and don't forget to show my fellow Osf'ers some love.

Lil Wayne-Prom Queen { Video Teaser}


Check out 41 seconds teaser fro the music video of Lil Wayne new single "Prom Queen". "Prom Queen" is the first official single off Lil Wayne's upcoming rock album, "Rebirth". The track was produced by Infamous and Andrew "Drew" Correa and the video was co-directed by Lil Wayne and Dave Meyers.

I listen to the song again to make sure my last review of it wasn't over exaggerated. it wasn't, the song is a "Hot Mess".

The full video will premiere next Tuesday on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Lady Gaga Says No To Heff, To Pose Nude for "Playboy"

Lady Gaga is known for her notoriously skimpy outfits, but the "Just Dance" singer has turned down Hugh Hefner's request for her to strip naked for Playboy.

She said: "If I was a glamour model, I would be delighted with the offer,But for me it's all about the music."

However she hasn't ruled out a future appearance, adding: "I might change my mind when I have a new album to plug."

I like the fact that she stuck to her guns, well kinda. I feel when serious singers strip down completely naked for a magazine like playboy, no matter how much the money, it'll come around and haunt you, either people will stop taking you seriously or you'll upset young fans, theres always gonna be something. So she's made a wise decision.

A new track from Rihanna leaked onto the internet yesterday, it is titled "Whipping My Hair" and was produced by The Dream and Tricky Stewart, same force that was behind her 2007 smash "Umbrella".

The track is said to be a Chris Brown dis, although it was recored way before their violent incident, its actually one of the song that didnt make her "Good Girl Gone Bad" album. This is one of those songs, that you don't like it at first but you end up loving. I cant wait to see what her new music will be about, I hope its something fresh.

Britney Spears: "IfUSeekAmy" Single Cover +Tour News


Check out the single cover for Britney new song "IfUSeekAmy", this is the 3rd single of her new album "Circus". Initially, I thought, "Kill The Lights" should have gotten single treatment instead of "IfUSeekAmy" but I've soon changed my mind, I'm loving it now. I posted some shots of Britney on set of "IfUSeekAmy" music video, it has now been confirmed that the video will premiere officially on March 2nd, I cant wait for that!


Britney’s going on tour and she’s bringing The Pussycat Dolls along with her! The Circus Starring Britney Spears, directed by Jamie King, will be Britney’s first arena tour in five years.

This tour is selling out like hot cakes! In response to overwhelming ticket sales, we have several more dates in cities including Los Angeles, London, Chicago, Toronto, Newark and now Oakland!

"Circus Starring Britney Spears" will feature magic tricks, illusionist-comedian Ed Alonzo confirms. "Right away, she got into the boxes and into the magic contraptions to learn the stuff, and she's so excited about this tour and all the elements that are in it," the magician says.

"We're going to be doing the classics of magic but a little high-tech," Alonzo explains more to E! Online. "We'll be doing a little dissection, transposition, a vanish, an appearance - and if I do a trick, she doesn't just hold the props, she's actually getting inside the big boxes or I am slicing her up."

"It's going to be an amazing concert for people to watch," Alonzo promises. "It's like watching a big Cirque du Soleil high-tech circus, but with a really focused star in the middle of all of this."-Acesshowbiz

Exciting, The first show kicks off March 3rd in New Orleans.

SEXY:Pink Performs in FRANCE


Pink was looking all kinds of sexy as she performed on stage at a secret gig in France 2 days ago. Damn, I didn't she got it like that, that red get-up is a keeper, I'll go and see her in concert providing she wears that, not really, but she did look hot.

Rihanna Spotted in Mexico

After 3 weeks on being assaulted by her Boyfriend, Rihanna was seen a cooling off in Mexico a day after her 21st birthday, which was a couple of days ago.

well, it looks like her face has completely healed, but her heart is probably still bleeding. I read he showered her with gifts for her 21st, and allegedly, she cant do without him and is contemplating taking him back. If she does that, it will be the biggest mistake she ever made, because the public will turn on her ass as quickly you can umbrella! But I bet that story is a pack of s*** anyway, Chris knows to keep his distance, theres already a facebook group called "I Want to Fight Chris Brown", which I'm a member of, so if he tries any foolishness, hes gonna get it.

Beyonce Covers "Ebony" Magazine

Photobucket

Beyonce is the cover girl for the April 2009 Issue of "Ebony" Magazine. The shots are absolutely gorgeous, This is a look I'll need to be seeing more on her, I love the 90's look and feel she was going for, suits her very well, takes me back to her "Foxy Cleopatra" days in "Goldmember".


Check out some highlights from the interview:

When asked who is the real Beyonce, she tells the magazine:

“I’m a daughter, I’m a friend, I’m a wife, I’m a sister. All those things first. I’m artist. I’m a businesswoman. I’m multifaceted. I’m a lover. I’m inspired by love. I make decisions from the heart.”

When she makes decisions about what projects to do, her priority is not money but personal growth.“I turn down million dollar offers all the time because it’s something that does not feel true for what I’m trying to say. I have to be passionate about it. Love inspires and growth inspires me…If it is not going to be iconic, something I can love 10 years from now, I’ve learned I should not waste my time with it.”

When she makes decisions about what projects to do, her priority is not money but personal growth.“I turn down million dollar offers all the time because it’s something that does not feel true for what I’m trying to say. I have to be passionate about it. Love inspires and growth inspires me…If it is not going to be iconic, something I can love 10 years from now, I’ve learned I should not waste my time with it.”

She says her and Jay-Z stay out of each other’s business dealings.

“He was very successful before I met him and I was very successful before I met him. So we have so much respect for each other, and respect for each other artistically. We are very close friends, and I believe he is the ultimate artist and he has the same feelings for me.”

Asked to describe herself as a wife:

“I don’t know how to talk about it because I don’t like to talk about it. But I have a great example of a great wife, and that’s my mother. And I have great friends around me that have been married, so I’m lucky to have really good examples. And a great husband.”

She says they are just like any other couple. She is learning to cook and he’s getting over his single-guy habits.

One thing she does to get on his nerve: “I’m a little messy. Oh, yeah. Whenever I’m out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don’t want to take care of anything. I drop it. I’m relaxed. I don’t have any shoes on. No makeup. My purse is in the kitchen. I think that is most difficult thing for him. He’s very, very organized. I’m extremely organized when I’m working, and I work so much that when I get home I don’t want to think about anything.”

As for what Jay-Z does that get on her nerves: She laughs, “I won’t say.”

She said she doing charity work such as working with women and children through shelters and organizations. She says she is mentoring and counseling them.

Asked about a quote from years ago where she said she wanted to retire by age 21. She says she could have retired at that age but now she has no intention of ever retiring.

“I’ve worked so hard on my craft, and I will never stop. I will never retire. I love it way too much.”

NEW MUSIC|Kat Deluna Ft. Lil Wayne-Put it on

Check out a new song from Kat Deluna, The track is titled "Put It On" and features Lil Wayne, who also features on her new single "Unstoppable".

This is taken from her forthcoming album "Inside Out". The song didn't really start for me till Lil Wayne came on with his verse, even after that the song was stilll lacking and it's dissapointing because it's a Lil Wayne collabo. I love what they did with unstoppable, I hope there are more tracks like that on the album and I hope she gets a couple of ballads in there also, because she is a great singer.

"Beautiful" has already debuted and peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has been getting much radio airplay since it debuted on the Billboard 100.

Great video and song, To be honest, I don't think he had one bad song on his album, all the songs were hot. That being said, I hope "Against The Rain" featuring Ray Lavender, gets single treatment, That one really stood out for me.

Ciara and Letoya Luckett To Release Album on The Same Day

Photobucket
Ciara recently confirmed on the ed lover radio show that her new album "Fantasy Ride"will be released on April 7th, same day as Letoya Luckett's "Lady love.

So this is the battle of the RnB divas, Ciara vs Letoya Luckett, who do you think will come out on top?

After so many push backs, I'm just happy that Ciara is finally releasing her album, as for which one I'm getting, its will probably be Lady Love. Because I haven't really been impressed by the songs that I've heard thus far from Ciara, even all the songs that leaked last year, nothing has really thrilled me. Her last album was hot and Ive been anticipating her for a long time, and with her new single "Not Anymore" it more than sealed the deal. I cant wait
