Conan O’Brien decided to have some fun with Rihanna’s recent Instagram pic in which she’s hugging Chris Brown , altering her affectionate image and re-posting with the caption: “The Rihanna and Chris Brown Instagram That Should Have Been.” In the photo, Rihanna appears to be punishing her alarmed, hapless lover, strangling him as the wall in the background boasts the word Revenge splattered in blood. Payback at last … if only in Jenny Johnson ‘s dreams. She posted the original photo (below) of herself embracing Chris on Thursday, tagging Brown’s handle and writing, “i dont wanna leave!!! Killed it tonight baby!!!” Killed it, indeed. Just not literally. The irony, of course, is that Rihanna seems to have not only forgiven Chris’ brutal assault on her, but become closer to him than ever in the face of controversy. Her original, lovey-dovey Instagram image arrived in the aftermath of Brown’s online feud with comedian Johnson, which resulted in Chris peacing out of Twitter. The message is clear: I still love you, baby, haters be damned. Rihanna and Chris Brown back together: You a fan? YES! They’re a great match! NO! Are you insane??? View Poll »

The Playboy mogul and his ex-fiancee have long since reconciled and the two will walk down the aisle at the Playboy Mansion on New Year’s Eve, according to reports.

Later this year, Sherlyn Chopra will become the first Indian woman to pose naked in Playboy . Cause for celebratory erections, right? Not for everyone. With the 28-year old brunette reportedly suggesting the idea herself to the magazine, Chopra is coming under major fire in her native country for the upcoming reveal. One Twitter user has described the occasional Bollywood actress as “repulsive,” while an Indian columnist named Gayatri Sankar writes of her : “At a time when innocent women across the nation from Gujarat to Guwahati have been subjected to sexual abuse and humiliation, one wonders if Sherlyn Chopra’s pictures wound a woman’s integrity.” Chopra, however, wonders no such thing. She tells BBC Hindi that the nation’s youth “is racing towards liberalization, and that’s why being unconventional in your choices is no longer a taboo” and she even says she may next move into the porn industry. Chopra posed for her spread at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles and sounds like the world’s biggest Hugh Hefner fan. “I am thinking of making him my idol because he lives his life on his terms and conditions,” she said. Sounds like someone is angling to be girlfriend number 6,079.
Hugh Hefner has reportedly traded one young blonde for another, but there’s a twist: The Playboy founder’s new roommate is also his old roommate… and former fiancee! Sources tell Radar Online that Hef has kicked out Shera Bechard in order to make room for Crystal Harris, the large-breasted model who essentially left Hefner at the altar just a few days prior to their planned wedding last summer. Crystal Harris has offered Hugh Hefner two sizeable reasons for reconciliation. “Crystal begged Hef to let her come back,” a Playboy Mansion source says. “He surprisingly doesn’t have any hard feelings against her, so he let her move back into the Mansion.” Well, no. Hugh doesn’t have hard anything against anyone at his age without medical assistance. But just because Harris is once again residing at the famous home, that doesn’t mean she and Hefner might actually get married now, does it? “Never say never where Hugh Hefner is concerned,” the insider concludes.

Baseball purists and the media may still obsess over how Barry Bonds broke Hammering Hank’s home run record, but Hank Aaron doesn’t care. All Aaron knows is that he held the record for 33 years. For more than three decades, Aaron’s 755 career home runs was the proverbial carrot for every slugger’s stick. And by 2007, Aaron was ready to let it go. “It’s probably the most hallowed record out there, as far as I’m concerned, but it’s now in the hands of somebody else,” said Aaron, who retired in 1976. “My hope today…is the achievement of this record will inspire others to chase their own dreams.” Aaron congratulates Barry Bonds: Aaron – born Henry Louis Aaron in Mobile, AL – knows plenty about dreams. He quit high school in 1951 to play for the Indianapolis Clowns in the Negro League. He started in the major league’s in 1954. He broke Babe Ruth’s record in 1974. “I thought, we’ve come along way baby,” Aaron said in an interview regarding breaking’s Ruth’s record, “From Mobile, Ala., to breaking the most prestigious record in baseball. I feel very proud of myself like I had shown everybody that I could play major league baseball.” Breaking Ruth’s record not only showed the world that Aaron could play major league baseball, but it was another signpost of what would become African-Americans’ domination of professional sports. Aaron on breaking Ruth’s record: A few notable achievements: • Aaron made the All-Star team every year from 1955 until 1975. • Won three Gold Glove Awards. • Won the National League Most Valuable Player Award in 1957 Read Aaron’s bio here .
