Gabrielle Giffords paid an emotional visit this afternoon to Newtown, Connecticut, as the former Congressman tragically has something in common with this scarred area. Giffords, of course, was shot in the head two years ago outside Tucson in an incident that claimed five people. The brave politician was accompanied by husband Mark Kelly and reportedly met first selectman Pat Llodra, Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman. “Our horrible event of Dec. 14 has some of those same tragic elements as experienced in the Tucson event that so harmed Ms. Giffords and took the lives of innocent citizens,” Llodra said in a statement. “I believe that our community will see Ms. Giffords as an ally in the efforts to draw attention to gun control legislation.” This topic is a hot debate in Washington these days, as well as in Hollywood, where a celebrity-filled PSA was slammed in a recent parody . Giffords plans to meet with families directly affected by the Sandy Hook shooting , but neither the public nor the press is invited to that event. The ex-Congresswoman wishes to keep it private in a show of respect.
Rihanna and Chris Brown looked happier than ever celebrating Christmas Day together at the Lakers game, then New Year’s Day snuggled up in bed. As usual, however, drama is never far from the controversial couple. Just before Christmas, he jetted off to Paris with ex Karrueche Tran, and allegedly banged French reality star Ayem Nour with Karrueche’s permission. Now, he’s also been linked to Sommer Gargan. Whoever that is. “He slept with her two different times at his recording studio,” an insider tells celebrity gossip magazine In Touch of Gargan, a blonde executive assistant. This wasn’t a one-off foreign booty call like Nour, either. After meeting through mutual friends, “They’ve been texting ever since … even when he’s with Rihanna.” Day. Um. After a long period of speculation, Rihanna and Chris Brown resumed their friendship-turned love affair in earnest this fall after he broke up with Karrueche. They’re clearly exchanging bodily fluids again … the question is whether it’s monogamous. Particularly on Chris’ side. Guy seems to be available whenever. If In Touch ‘s story is true … talk about a cruel Sommer . Sorry. Fittingly, Rihanna and Chris released a HOT duet together called “Nobody’s Business” this fall, reportedly all about their tumultuous relationship. We’re guessing that would be their response to this story.
Not to mention how they routinely would drive 600 miles just to pop up unannounced on campus! Talk about the epitome of bad parents ! Via RadarOnline reports : Aubrey Ireland, a 21-year-old music theater major at University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music, convinced a judge to sign a TRO against David and Julie Ireland, claiming that they stalked her, accused her of using illegal drugs, promiscuity and suffering from emotional woes. Despite their daughter routinely making the dean’s list, the overly protective pair would regularly make the 600 mile drive from Kansas to Ohio to check up on her unannounced at school and informed her department head she had mental issues that could force them to go to court to have her treated. “It’s just been really embarrassing and upsetting to have my parents come to my university when I’m a grown adult and just basically slander my name and follow me around,” Aubrey said in an October 9 court hearing. The Irelands even went so far as to spy on her by installing monitoring software on her laptop and cellphone so that they could read her messages and know exactly who she called or texted. It was “like I was a dog with a collar on,” she said. The school clearly took the threat seriously and even went so far as to hire special security guards to keep the talented musician’s “helicopter” parents out of her performances, and when the Ireland’s stopped paying her tuition because she’d cut off all contact with them, the school gave her a full scholarship for her final year. Finally Aubrey could take no more, and took legal action to keep them away and the judge finally granted the stalking order stating they must stay at least 500 feet away and have no contact with her until September 2013. “I never wanted this to happen, that’s the last thing I wanted,” she told ABCNews.com. “But I wasn’t in control of my life at all anymore. I knew that they were holding me back emotionally, mentally, and professionally and that it got to the point where that was basically my last option.” However, her mom Julie still doesn’t think there is a problem. “We’re not bothering her.” We’ve heard of overbearing parents but these folks take the cake!

So, you’re going to get her tattooed face removed but still kick it with her??? Chris Brown Has Karrueche Tattoo Removed From His Arm Remember when Breezy got that tat of Karrueche’s face ? Welp… Via AZCentral Chris Brown has had a tattoo of his ex-girlfriend’s name removed. The 23-year-old star has reportedly had the inking of his former lover Karrueche Tran taken off as a love gesture towards on/off girlfriend Rihanna – who he assaulted in 2009 – after the pair recently reconciled. Rihanna cut her festive holiday in Barbados short to be with him on Christmas Day, when they attended an LA Lakers basketball game together. While the 24-year-old star was spotted cuddling Chris and whispering into his ear as they watched the game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the ‘Don’t Judge Me’ hitmaker is believed to have called and text Karrueche to wish her a “Merry Christmas”. A source told Hollywoodlife.com: “Even though he was with Rihanna, he still called Kae and told her Merry Christmas and told her how he misses her and how he hopes she was having a good day and all that s**t.” Damn Breezy, Rih-Rih got you wrapped around her finger huh? Next thing you know she’s gonna have you wearing skirts like Kanye and them… Image via Instagram

Poor RihRih… It looks like Kae is winning the battle for Chris Brown right now. Via UK Sun reports : Rihanna is also licking her wounds after Chris went on to invite his model ex KARRUECHE TRAN to meet him in Paris where he was gigging on Friday night. A source said yesterday: “She can’t get it into her head that Chris will never change. “She’s given him so many chances since he beat her up in 2009 and he still keeps hurting her by partying with girls. “Letting Karrueche meet him is yet another blow for Rihanna that will further disgust her fans. They are already raging that she is back with him.” RKarrueche also plans to follow Chris to Dubai when his tour moves there today. She has her stylist with her to make sure she looks her best. After Rihanna saw shots of Chris up to his old tricks in Paris, he pathetically tried to make up by printing off a T-shirt emblazoned with their faces. It didn’t work for him — and he decided to give Karrueche a call instead. The source added: “The T-shirt stunt was nonsense and Rihanna didn’t fall for it. “She was meant to stay with Chris in Paris — but it looks like she gave it a miss and will head straight to Manchester tonight to perform on the X Factor final’s results show.” But she took time out to blast Chris with a series of furious tweets, seething: “Examine what you tolerate”, “Goodbye muthaf*****”, “You give, you get, then you give it the f*** back” and “Claps for the basic b******”. Rihanna’s latest misery over Chris comes as she got the word Breezy — the nickname from his fans — tattooed on her neck. Now we’re pretty sure they don’t have all the facts straight on this one but one thing is for sure — Karrueche is still kicking it with Chris. Do you think Rihanna just doesn’t know when to say WHEN?
