Rihanna’s Grandmother Dies of Cancer; Chris Brown Tweets Condolences

Chris Brown disses Drake on his new remix track following their nightclub brawl, but he’s still got nothing but love when it comes to ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Rih is dealing with the death of her beloved grandmother, Ciara “Dolly” Brathwaite, in recent days, and has posted touching tweets and photos of her. “Goodbye #grangranDOLLY get your beauty rest until I see you,” she wrote. Brathwaite died of cancer late last week, and in the wake of the passing of “Gran Gran Dolly”, Brown posted a nice Tweet about Rihanna’s grandma. “Praying for family and the lost loved one. She was like my grandmother. Love you GRAN GRAN DOLLY! RIP,” said the 23-year-old R&B star. Brown’s mom, Joyce Hawkins, shared similar sentiments. “@rihanna ANGEL MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN YOUR TIME OF SORROW. LOVE YOU ANGEL,” Hawkins tweeted Saturday as well. Clearly, Brown was once close to the singer and her family. Of course, Rihanna unfollowed Chris awhile back so it’s unclear if she’s seen this. Maybe he can mention it at their next hotel rendezvous .

Happy 28th Birthday, Khloe Kardashian!

Khloe Kardashian turns 28 years old today, and the reality star has reportedly started the process of getting herself the most beautiful birthday present possible: a baby! Yes, folks, Khloe has started fertility treatments, according to multiple reports. Aside from that major step, Khloe’s life is relatively calm when compared to her sisters. She isn’t dating the world’s most famous rapper or battling with ex in court. She isn’t pregnant, nor is she dating Scott Disick , a man who constantly makes John Mayer look UN-douchebag-like. Instead, Khloe just appears on her family’s scripted reality show, poses on many red carpets and appears genuinely happy in her marriage to Lamar Odom. Those two certainly showed us! So on a day where Ed Westwick turns 25 and Tobey Maguire 37, we choose to single out Khloe Kardashian for being the least irritating of all Kardashians. And we honor her with the following photo montage:

Happy 50th Birthday, Paula Abdul!

Paula Abdul is yet to figure out her next professional move. But the former American Idol judge and X Factor panelist is headed into a different decade personally: she turns 50 years old today! A startling fact for those of us who grew up on “Opposites Attract” and now feel ancient ourselves, the singer/dancer has made a career out of being zany for the past few years. But the act finally wore thin after just one season on The X Factor , when good friend/producer/constant flirt Simon Cowell was forced to let Paula go. We hope she lands somewhere successful. What do you think Abdul should do next ? Send your best birthday wishes to Abdul now and also to the following celebrities: Zoe Saldana (34), Salman Rushdie (65) and Blaise Pascal (posthumous).

Happy Birthday, Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe would have been 86 today. The actress and icon died of a drug overdose under still-debated-to-this-day circumstances a half century ago. Her name alone conjures up memories of beauty and tragedy. Marilyn . So talented, so troubled and so profoundly sexual to all those who remember her. Future generations will know her no differently. The enigmatic star, underrated as an actress, stole every scene she was in, from her bit part in All About Eve to her Oscar-worthy role in Some Like It Hot . In her personal life, Monroe made headlines whether she was singing “Happy Birthday” to the president, getting married or showing up late to the set. It’s no wonder Marilyn fascinates, inspires (see Lindsay Lohan Playboy photos , or the below pic Tweeted by Lady Gaga today) and mesmerizes to this day. It’s also no wonder that the late Monroe became the focal point of the film My Week With Marilyn or NBC’s new Broadway-themed series Smash . Marilyn’s career, and life, was pure theater.

Happy Birthday, Adele!

21. It’s the number most often associated with Adele, due to her best-selling album, one of the most popular in the history of the universe. But let’s all focus on 24 today instead, shall we? That’s because it’s the new age of this incredible artist. That’s right… it’s her birthday! The singer’s 2011 was easily one of the best years ever for a musician, and she kicked off her 2012 in impressive fashion, as well, returning from throat surgery to simply dominate the Grammys. Just watch this rendition of ” Rolling in the Deep .” Wow. Adele is now one of the Most Influential People in the World . And she’s only 24! Just barely, to boot! Send in your birthday wishes now.

Rosie O’Donnell Worries Lindsay Lohan Will Die Like Whitney Houston

Rosie O’Donnell is not holding back in her strange crusade against Lindsay Lohan , saying if she doesn’t change her life, she could die like Whitney Houston. Rosie went back on Today show this morning to expand on why she believes LiLo should not have been cast as Liz Taylor in an upcoming Lifetime movie. Or any acting role, for that matter. O’Donnell suggested Lindsay is heading down a similar path as the late, great Whitney Houston , and can only be saved if she takes time off from showbiz. The ruthless Hollywood machine is slowly killing Lohan, Rosie feels, and she says feels obligated to speak out about the 25-year-old actress because: “Watching Whitney Houston’s funeral I recall thinking, ‘Why didn’t more people say what they knew?’ We all knew. We watched Being Bobby Brown – it was like watching Sid and Nancy … they were people in the throes of addiction.” “All anyone cared about was that the show was getting ratings. To look at Lindsay Lohan, you can’t help but feel for her … and I do not think she’s untalented, I think she’s quite talented. But this is a dangerous situation.” What do you think? Is Rosie totally off base or should she zip it? Lindsay has brushed off her attacks , but might she be better off heeding the warnings? VOTE: Whose side are you on?

Happy 70th Birthday, Barbra Streisand!

Barbra Streisand turned 70 this week. Seventy! The star marked the milestone with a party to remember in Malibu, Calif., on Tuesday, celebrating with close friends and enjoying a performance by Johnny Mathis. The legendary singer-actress was joined at Taverna Tony by 80 guests, including John Travolta, Warren Beatty, Pierce Brosnan and Keely Smith, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, her stepson Josh Brolin and Diane Lane, Kenny G and Donna Karan. “It was an intimate magical event with only very close friends, people I’ve known and loved more than 20 years,” Streisand personally told People . “The highlight of the night was my son’s film that he made for me. People kept asking, ‘Who’s that singing?’ And when I said it was Jason, everyone was blown away by the soulfulness of his voice. Quincy Jones wanted to sign him on the spot.” “All my friends made it an evening full of surprises for me, flying in the remarkable Israeli mentalist Lior Suchard and gifting me with the performance of my favorite singer, Johnny Mathis, and many, many more highlights.” Happy birthday to one of the greats! In her career, Barbra has won two Academy Awards, eight Grammy Awards, five Emmy Awards and a Tony Award, one of a select few entertainers who have ever won all four. Not a bad resume.

Jessica Simpson: Inside the Delivery Room (?)

Jessica Simpson hasn’t even given birth to her baby girl Maxi yet, but that’s not about to stop one tabloid from taking us INSIDE THE DRAMATIC DELIVERY! You gotta love that on the week Brad and Angelina get engaged , for real, that In Touch will make up some other cover story. Why not lead with Brange? After all, they’ve gotten engaged so many times before, according to your magazine … why not cash in on the real thing when people might actually buy it?! In any case, Jessica Simpson is ready to pop any day now, which makes this odd cover – how can you be inside a delivery that hasn’t taken place? – sort of justified. Sort of. It’s possible Jess has already elected to have a c-section, is under hypnosis to soothe her cold sweats and has already planned her first words to her baby. Still, none of this has happened yet, because she is enormously pregnant. We’ll know when she gives birth and Jessica Simpson will provide all the Jessica Simpson quotes we need at that time. How could ITW compare with that now?
