Rihanna To Make Third Appearance On ‘Saturday Night Live’

‘We Found Love’ singer will be the musical guest on the May 5 episode, hosted by Eli Manning. By John Mitchell Rihanna Photo: Getty Images Rihanna will hit the “Saturday Night Live” stage for the third time when she performs on the legendary sketch comedy show on May 5. New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will host. The pop star has a long history with the show and has always been a standout guest. While she always nails it on stage for her musical performance, Rihanna also tends to pop up throughout the show to flex her comedy muscles in sketches and, most notably, in rumored-to-be-departing Andy Samberg’s buzzed-about digital shorts. Her first “Shy Ronnie” short landed an Emmy nomination and she reprised the role for another digital short over Halloween weekend in 2010, playing Clyde to Shy Ronnie’s Bonnie as the unlikely couple holds up a bank and Ronnie’s bashful nature causes their plan to go array. For all intents and purposes, Rihanna’s appearance is to promote both her album Talk That Talk and her film debut in the upcoming “Battleship,” but for those still keeping an eye on the happenings of Ri Ri and ex Chris Brown, it’s worth noting that May 5 is also Brown’s birthday, so get ready for plenty of “will Chris Brown show up for a surprise appearance” speculation. The gig will be Manning’s first time hosting, though he made a brief cameo when his brother, Peyton, hosted in 2007. Are you excited for Rihanna’s “SNL” return? Do you think Chris Brown will show up with some “Birthday Cake”? Let us know in the comments below! Related Artists Rihanna

Rihanna Won’t Sweat ‘Ranting’ Over Her Chris Brown Reunion

‘It’s very hard for me to accept, but I get it,’ singer tells Elle in May issue of public backlash. By Rebecca Thomas Rihanna on the May 2012 cover of Elle Photo: Tom Munro / Hearst Digital Media Rihanna didn’t call her latest album Talk That Talk for nothing. The Good Girl Gone Bad regularly hits Twitter to hash it out over everything from her taste in ink to her take on fellow R&B divas . But the one subject she’d kept off her tongue was ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. So the Bajan beauty’s decision this year to very publicly reconcile with Brown, who served probation for assaulting her in 2009, by teaming up with him in February on a pair of remixes was widely met with shock and, in many circles, outrage. In the new issue of Elle, however, the blond cover girl tells the magazine she understands her decision is a hard pill for some to swallow. “The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently. It’s very hard for me to accept, but I get it,” she says. “People end up wasting their time on the blogs or whatever, ranting away, and that’s all right. Because tomorrow I’m still going to be the same person. I’m still going to do what I want to do.” Rather than view the violent end of her relationship with Brown as a brutal low to be endured as a victim, the superstar says the fallout from the headline-making assault gave her courage. “It gave me guns,” she says. “I was like, well, f—. [The public knows] more about me than I want them to know. It’s embarrassing. But that was my opening. That was my liberation … Now you know that, so you can say what you want about it. I don’t have anything to hide.” In the wake of her provocative “Birthday Cake” remix with Brown, the 24-year-old was rumored to have reunited with the “Deuces” singer both in and out of the studio. But Rih says in the May issue (out April 17) that she’s focused on changing her single status to “in a relationship,” stressing over the pervasive man shortage and her busy schedule. “I feel like it’s hard for everybody ! I don’t think it has anything to do with being famous. There’s just a major drought out there.” What do you think of Rihanna’s comments about Chris Brown? Tell us in the comments.

Rihanna & Chris Brown To Perform Together On “American Idol?”

Excerpt from:

Following their recent remix releases featuring one and other (Chris Brown on Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake” and Rihanna on Brown’s “Turn Up the Music”), rumors are going around that Chris Brown and Rihanna are reuniting. While they’ve yet to make a public appearance together, word is they might make their first appearance on the American Idol stage. An Idol insider told E!, “They want Chris and Rihanna to reunite on the show.” If they do duet, it will likely be on Breezy’s “Turn Up the Music” remix, which is far less raunchy than Rihanna’s new jam. The insider said the idea is still in its early stages.

Radar Online claims that Jay-Z is none too pleased with Rihanna after she reunited with Chris Brown for new music two years after the brutal beating she suffered at the hands on him in 2009. A source tells the site, “Jay was absolutely disgusted by what Chris did to Rihanna. Jay doesn’t understand how a man could ever lay hands on a woman; it just goes against who he is and about. Chris is absolutely dead to Jay, he wants nothing to do with him ever.” And now that Rih-Rih is recording with Breezy again, “Jay is deeply disappointed in her actions.” The source adds that Jay doesn’t get Rihanna’s thinking, noting, “He understands the need for forgiveness, but he is adamant that Rihanna shouldn’t forget what Chris did to her. Jay wonders what kind of message this is sending to Rihanna’s young female fans.” The sourced added, “Rihanna knows how Jay feels about Chris, but she doesn’t care, she is going to do what she wants.” RELATED: CM Punk Explains Chris Brown Wrestling Challenge: “He Hasn’t Changed” [VIDEO] Rihanna, Chris Brown ‘Birthday Cake’ Remix [LISTEN] Singer Miranda Lambert Says Chris Brown Should “Be Put Back In His Place” Chris Brown Has Another Twitter Meltdown Over Rihanna Comments, Deletes Tweets Chris Brown Added To Anderson Cooper’s “RidicuList” On CNN [VIDEO]

After rumors surfaced that Aretha Franklin got uninvited to Whitney Houston’s homegoing service because of an interview with the Today show she is ready to set the record straight with a new statement: Extra TV, the New York Post and Newsday (New York) should stop the BS. Cissy Houston and I have been longtime friends for almost 50 years. I have four invitations and parking passes that were sent to me for the funeral. Extra TV, the New York Post and Newsday (New York) are more interested in sensationalism and negative speculations than the truth. People are getting their information from the wrong source. The intelligent and the thoughtful thing to do would be to respect and have some sensitivity to the moment. If you don’t know how, at least try. Cissy does not need ridiculous speculation and neither do I—particularly at this time. Also, with respect to the Today Show, my entire statement was pre-taped. However, the Today Show did not air the part of my statement, which said, “This is no reflection on Cissy or Nippy’s upbringing.” Knowing Cissy as well as I do, I know Whitney left home right and properly. I was generalizing and it was a well intended statement for any young adult coming into the music industry. I was not speaking of anyone specifically.

New Dad Jay-Z Is Deeply Disappointed In RihRih For Reuniting With Breezy

See what happens when Big Brother is not watching! According to RadarOnline reports : With Chris Brown and Rihanna collaborating on duets together and secretly hooking up, the Barbadian beauty’s mentor, and very close friend, Jay-Z, is extremely upset that she is spending time with the man who left her badly beaten three years ago, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. As we previously reported, despite Chris dating wanna-be model, Karrueche Tran, the Grammy Award winner has been having secret rendezvous with RiRi. Tran knows that her boyfriend is straying because she doesn’t question him about it and knows that if she did, the relationship would probably end. In the days after the horrific beating Rihanna endured by her then boyfriend, she sought refuge and advice with her long-time mentor, Jay-Z. “Jay was absolutely disgusted by what Chris did to Rihanna. Jay doesn’t understand how a man could ever lay hands on a woman; it just goes against who he is and about. Chris is absolutely dead to Jay, he wants nothing to do with him ever. Now that Rihanna is hooking up with Chris and recording songs with him, Jay is deeply disappointed in her actions. He can’t fathom why Rihanna is doing the things she is doing. He understands the need for forgiveness, but he is adamant that Rihanna shouldn’t forget what Chris did to her. Jay wonders what kind of message this is sending to Rihanna’s young female fans. Rihanna knows how Jay feels about Chris, but she doesn’t care, she is going to do what she wants,” a source close to the situation tells us. Brown and RiRi have released two songs, which features both of them — her song Birthday Cake and his Turn Up the Music. Brown’s first line in Birthday Cake? “Girl I wanna f*** you right now. Been a long time, I’ve been missing your body,” the R&B hit-maker sings. Now that Jay-Z is a proud daddy to daughter, Blue Ivy, with wife Beyoncé, “he is even more protective of the women in his life. Jay has told Rihanna he will never give his blessing for what she is doing with Chris. He has told her, this isn’t going to end well, it never does.
