Rihanna & Justin Timberlake Hotel Hook-Up or Affair? Rihanna On The Down Low

MrsGrapevine — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:14:35 +0000

Blind Item No More: With their partners away, celebs have been using Fashion Week as an opportunity to play! Which two pop stars made sweet music on Sunday night after the gal gave the guy a private lap dance? Hope his longtime girlfriend doesn’t find out …[Source]

Girl I wouldn’t be mad at you at all. I think Justin Timberlake would be a great way to get back at, and to get over Chris Brown. The only problem, we don’t know if it’s true, so let’s just hope it is. If this is true, this will give us something good to talk about :0. Rumors have persisted for a few weeks, click here to read more.

According to the new issue of Star Magazine, Justin Timberlake and Rihanna had an encounter, a steamy one, in Rihanna’s hotel room:

After a hot grinding session on Sept. 13 at 1Oak’s MTV Video Music Awards bash in NYC, RiRi and JT moved to her hotel room, where they had a steamy, private after party! “They tried to keep it a secret, but Jessica found out within days,” a source says. Justin’s three-year relationship with Jessica seems to have reached a critical point. “She must be a wreck.”

“Rihanna and Justin have been talking and texting on the phone nonstop since the VMAs,” a source tells Star. But before Rihanna totally gives in to the attraction, she wants to make sure she’s not his lady on the side. A friend reveals: “She asked him on the phone, ‘Are you still with Jessica?’ And he hinted that things were cooling off between them.”

Star was first to break the news that Justin and RiRi were hooking up in last week’s issue, but now things are getting hotter — the passion even moving to the studio where the two are working on Rihanna’s new album. “One time, Justin was joking about strippers. He said she needed to entertain him like that.” So Rihanna gave him an impromptu lap dance! “She likes to test the boundaries.”

Justin has made it clear he is 100 percent into Rihanna, and she equally feels the magnetic attraction, says a source. “She is a total tease and loves flirting with him. She digs him and wants to date him too!”

Queen Latifah In The National Enquirer Exposed As A Lesbian

MrsGrapevine — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:59:56 +0000

This article is funny because it doesn’t provide any proof that Queen Latifah was at a wild all girl party with strippers. In fact, this looks like a girls night in with women being silly at the end (if men only knew how silly women get when men aren’t watching). It’s so easy to add a censor mark and make this picture look even more shocking than it really is. I’m sure “if” Queen is gay, she will come out of the closet when she’s ready, like Wanda Sykes, but this article does not support or provide any proof that Queen is gay…It’s just the National Enquirer doing what they do best…

Taraji P Henson Gets Sexy In Men’s Ftiness Magazine; Nia Long Nude For PETA

MrsGrapevine — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:46:35 +0000

Nia Long would rather go nude than to wear fur. I have to say, I love this PETA concept, but did they have to rap her legs around a dirty subway pole. There are too many subliminal messages in this ad (um stripper) that I don’t know where to start, but I would actually rather wear fur than have my midsection on a subway pole, or any pole for that matter. I’m sorry I couldn’t resist, but I love Nia Long, and if she tells me not to wear fur, then I will not wear fun.

In being a responsible adult and really understanding what happens for one fur coat and how many animals are killed and slaughtered for one fur coat, it just isn’t worth it to me.

When I became a mother, I started to really understand the importance of all living creatures in a way that I didn’t ever think about before. And I’ve realized how important it is that we really take responsibility for … treating animals with love and care just like we would any human being. There’s no difference, in my opinion, [between fur and] slavery or the Holocaust. It’s just that we’re not dealing with human beings, we’re dealing with animals, but it’s still a living thing.

Taraji P. Henson knows cross over appeal is the best way to get those leading roles in blockbuster hits instead of those supporting ones. The first step is to appear marketable, and in this country that translates to sexy. Ms. Henson has always been comfortable in her own skin, we’ve all seen Baby Boy, but this new appeal is more mature and classy. Checkout these new pics of Taraji P. Henson in Men’s Fitness Magazine:

Death To PhotoShop: Jada Pinkett-Smith Covers Shape

MrsGrapevine — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:29:08 +0000

Now, I love Jada, and so please do not take this negative, but Jay-Z needs to come out with a song called “Death To PhotoShop” because it’s giving us normal women some false hope. Jada is in great shape, you can tell she works out and does whatever it takes to stay in shape and to stay tone. However, she’s a petit woman who had two children, and like some of us, she was left with lose skin and a few stretch marks on her tummy. Now, I know strech marks don’t sell magazines, but Shape Magazine is creating images of women that are just not real. I know Jada Pinkett-Smith likes to keep it 100, and is not ashamed of her body, but these magazines have other things in mind.

This is how Jada looks normally, and I am amazed that she has abs like this after having two children. In fact I am jealous that she has abs like this after having two children, so the PhotoShop on the cover of Shape Magazine is just not necessary. Jada is a beautiful woman, and Will is a happy man.

In this issue Trina reveals some intimate details too Editor-in-Chief, Lennox Magee about her raunchy image, her being in love with Denver Nuggets basketball star Kenyon Martin and the direction of her upcoming album.

This may be worth picking up just to hear Trina’s take on her relationship with NBA Player Kenyon Martin, who is still married to estranged wife. There is a growing trend in Hollywood with women dating men before the ink dries on the divorce paper, and in some cases before the papers are even filed: Alicia Keys, Gabrielle Union, and Trina. I can’t wait to read Trina’s side of things.

Playmate Of The Year Is From Africa – Ida Ljungqvist

MrsGrapevine — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:13:20 +0000

Don’t even ask me how to pronounce her name, but Ida Ljungqvist is the 50th Playmate of the Year, and she is from Tanzania (that’s in Africa). Actually, her father is Swedish and her mother is Tanzanian. Not only is she a lady of color, but she is the first person from Africa to win the convenant title of Playmate of the Year. Traditionally we honor women of a different caliber, but a first is a first, so congratulations (I think) to Ida…

Rihanna & Chris Brown Jet Mag Cover: When Love Goes Wrong

News must be slow over there at Jet Mag. The magazine decided to do a feature story on “Troubled Love” and women who stay in abusive relationships. I’m sure the issue will sell lots of copies, but obviously for the wrong reasons.

As serious as this topic is, I doubt Jet mag would have done the story if the Rihanna and Chris altercation hadn’t of happened. I feel bad for celebrities! Make one mistake and it costs you everything. There’ll always be a constant reminder of your down falls!

Keri Hilson Covers J’Adore Magazine – “We’re Not Paid To Be Parents To Our Fans”

MrsGrapevine — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:46:08 +0000

Keri Hilson is on the cover of J’adore Magazine and has some things to say about artists being held as role models:

It’s important for us to be role models for our fans, but this is the entertainment industry and artists are not paid to be parents to our fans. We are not perfect. We are human beings just like our fans. Our music reflects us as a person and how we feel when we write a record. Our music also shows how we may be dealing with a situation at a particular time. Things happen in life. Why should we be exempt from the common compassion that a person receives who is not in the industry?

Keri Hilson also talks about her roles as a writer in the idustry, and defining what she feels is real music:

It’s funny. Some people say they want to hear someone real, but some artists do not even write their own songs. Some artists do not even meet with the songwriters that sell them their next big hit. So, if you appreciate the music and understand the realness of a true artist, then check In A Perfect World…..I have songs that anyone can relate to and they are from the heart.

MGV Says: I go back and forth on the moral obligation of artist as role models. I think being a role model inhibits creativity when you have to make sure you’re putting forth a positive image. But at the same time, I don’t think parents she look to artist like Lil Wayne as role models. If you want to carry that role model cross as an artist, I think you should let it be known, so parents can help their children decide what’s appropriate and what’s not.

On being a mom: I’m going to try to take them to school every morning — as much as I can. But there’s also a measure of independence. And obviously there will be times I won’t be able to drop them off at all. I like to be a presence in my kids’ school. I want to know the teachers; I want to know the other parents.
On her background: We like to joke that the South Side of Chicago is our Kennebunkport. . . . We learned in our household that there was nothing you couldn’t talk about and that you found humor in even some of the toughest times. I want to bring that spirit of warmth, openness, and stability to my task.
On her fashion choices: I love clothes. First and foremost, I wear what I love. That’s what women have to focus on: what makes them happy and what makes them feel comfortable and beautiful. If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion.
On bringing Sasha and Malia along on trips: I’ve been grateful that my girls have been able to see parts of the country that I’m just seeing at the age of 44,” she says. “It’s not only seeing Paris, London, and Rome. It’s also the remote places . . . exposing them to what we hope all kids will have: a feeling that they are citizens of the world.” (quotes lifted from Citizen Sugar via Vogue.)

Vogue’s Editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley interviewed Michelle while famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. On the cover Michelle wore magenta silk sheath Jason Wu dress which showed off her toned arms.

Usher And Son On The Cover Of Essence – Official Pictures of Usher’s Son – Usher V

MrsGrapevine — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:37:54 +0000

I know I have been slipping lately, I have been enjoying my summer, so much so I almost forgot to post pictures of Usher’s son, Usher V. I have been waiting forever to see this child, and I let the moment almost slip right pass me. I’m happy to inform you, he is one beautiful baby boy. Here is an excerpt from the Essence interview with Hill Harper and Usher on fatherhood:

HARPER: If you could take your finger and touch your 9-month-old son, Usher V, on the head and impart some certain knowledge, what would you want him to know?

USHER: First of all, I’d actually look inside myself and evaluate what I felt like I missed from my own father.

HARPER: What did you miss?

USHER: Knowing that I was accepted. That I mattered. And hearing that he cared enough to put me before himself.

Erykah Badu Speaks On Love Lost In Giant Magazine

MrsGrapevine — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 16:33:03 +0000

Erykah Badu in an interview with Giant Magazine gives up a small glimpse into her relationships with Andre 3000 and Common.

“I know about the backlash, the ‘Erykah Badu, if you look at her, she’ll make you change gods and wear crochet pants’ backlash,” she says. “But nobody looks at the things that those people have given to me.”

What have they given you?

“Just so much musical freedom. Common is the most humble person I ever met. Kind and generous. He reinforced that in me. Andre is very creative and artistic. All of that that you see of him, that’s all him. That’s how he is, and that gave me a creative push, too.”

Although Badu is fairly cryptic when discussing her old beaus, she allows this brief, whispered indulgence.

“With Andre, we were both very young, so we didn’t know what we wanted or anything. We just knew we were in love, and we didn’t care who saw us. With Common, it was a little bit more mature.”
