We’ve arrived at #1. Over the past couple weeks, THG has been counting down the stars that made 2012 such a memorable year, from their sex tapes to their Billboard hits to their nude photos and royal babies. We ranked Kate Middleton at #4, followed by Taylor Swift and then Rihanna at #2 . Who does that leave as our undisputed Celebrity of the Year? KRISTEN STEWART! The actress starred in two blockbusters this year: Snow White and the Huntsman and Breaking Dawn Part 2 . She also established some indie cred via On the Road . But let’s face it: these roles are not the main reason Stewart made so many headlines in 2012. Instead, Kristen’s most buzzed-about accomplishment (perhaps for the rest of her years) will be her affair with Rupert Sanders , a story made for this tabloid age and made even more unprecedented when Stewart actually came out and admitted to the scandal! Her statement and public apology to Robert Pattinson may go down as the year’s most shocking moment. This relationship – previously kept under wraps as much as possible by the duo involved – was suddenly front page news. Would they get back together? What, exactly, happened between Stewart and Sanders? How would it affect the Breaking Dawn box office? In the end, the film fared well and Kristen and Rob appear back together. Other numbers/facts related to Stewart’s big year include: She became the face of Balenciaga perfume in June. She ranked #7 on AskMen’s list of Top 99 Women. She earned $34.5 million, more than any actress over the past 12 months. She was named one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood. Without The Twilight Saga, but with Pattinson, what does 2013 hold for Kristen Stewart? Marriage? Pregnancy? Another hit film? THG will be there every step of the way to find out. Won’t you join us?
Dear Bossip , I am a 31-year old woman married with two kids. My husband is 37-years old, and we’ve been married for three and a half years, but we’ve been together for fifteen years. He is absolutely the love of my life. I’ve dated several men, but he is the only man whom I’ve ever given a title. He is a good provider, a loving and over protective dad. When we first met I was young and dumb and had no clue as to what I wanted or needed in a man. Now, that I’m 31, I want to take my life in a more spiritual direction, however he’s still stuck in the streets. Before we got married we agreed that he would leave the streets alone. He did a six year sentence and I was there for him the whole time. He didn’t fully appreciate this because I had a fling or two while he was locked up, but I kept it real with him. I clearly spelled out what I did and didn’t want in our lives before we married and he agreed. We’ve been through a whole lot. My kids and I want for nothing. But this does come at a price. Infidelity has always been a problem in our relationship. It’s never been in my face. I’m noisy, so I’ve always been a snooper. I have never actually caught him in the act. He’s never burnt me. I mainly find suspect texts or calls from women. He’ll do good for a few months, or so, but just when I give him the benefit of the doubt something suspicious always pops up. All of the women go along with whatever story he comes up with or they say nothing at all. He does have female clients in his legal profession so it’s hard to differentiate the clients from the hoes. He makes me feel like I’m crazy and insecure. He straightens up for a while after I do something crazy or drastic. I can never get the truth out of him regarding these women (except when he was in jail). It drives me crazy and makes me act out of my character. His motto is “That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.” He’s a heavy weed smoker and drinks a lil too much at times. He spends way too much time “working,” then tries to make me feel bad because he’s out providing for the family. I have a good job. I work full-time and I am a good mom. Recently, we had a domestic dispute (over a woman) initiated by me in a public place. He ended up getting arrested when a witness called the police. The crazy part is he didn’t get arrested for the dispute, but for something far more serious and now blames me. I feel emotionally drained and empty from this relationship. He’s not willing to go to counseling, and randomly goes to church. I’ve invested so much in this relationship and in my heart I don’t want to give it up. I’m torn to say the least. – Mrs. Emotional Roller Coaster Dear Mrs. Emotional Roller Coaster , Let’s see here, pulls out bull-ish calculator. Now, let’s add and get the square root that he’s a hustler (Who the hell is still doing this in 2012 going into 2013?) and it equals he’s a dumba** with no ambition. Let’s divide him getting locked up constantly, and then subtract that he’s a heavy weed smoker and drinks a lil too much (He probably getting high on his own supply! LOL!), and this equals a no street-smarts donkey. And, let’s multiply that he’s cheating and letting these hoes think they wifey, and this equals he’s a broke-a** wanna-be pimp. He needs to take several seats. What the hell are you doing with this damn fool? SMDH! Girl, the problem is that you went back on your word. You agreed that before you got married he would leave the streets alone. That didn’t happen. So now what? You spelled everything out what you did and did not want in your lives before marriage, and he agreed. That didn’t happen. So now what? He is not a man of his word. And, you are not a woman of your word. Neither of you have any integrity. Therefore you get what you got. Why would you expect anything to be different if neither of you were able to keep your word? Why would you expect for him to be a new man if he is not able to maintain his word? And, why would you expect for your life and world to be any different if you did not commit to your own word? I’ll wait while you ponder that. (Files nails and hums a cute little tune). Now pay attention to this important announcement. I don’t want you to get lost. I know I may go a little fast, so I’ll take this slow for you. You wrote, “He makes me feel like I’m crazy and insecure. He straightens up for a while after I do something crazy or drastic. I can never get the truth out of him regarding these women (except when he was in jail). It drives me crazy and makes me act out of my character.” And, then you wrote, “The crazy part is he didn’t get arrested for the dispute, but for something far more serious and now blames me.” You use the word “crazy” four times. You reference it when you say that he makes you crazy, he makes you feel like you’re crazy, and your situation is crazy. The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Therefore, I pull out my bull-ish calculator and I deduce that YOU ARE CRAZY! Ain’t nobody got time for all this madness. Get the hell out!!! Why are you putting up with all his BS!?! It’s not worth your sanity or well-being. He’s not impacting your children with any valuable lessons, other than it’s okay to cheat, lie, manipulate, and deceive others, and the ones you love. Oh yeah, he’s in and out of jail, he doesn’t attend church, therefore there’s no spiritual foundation, and he’s not a man of his word, so, therefore he has no integrity. And, I’m curious to know what his legal profession is if he is getting locked up? What professional job will let him keep coming back after he gets out of jail? Girl, he doesn’t and can’t have a real legal professional if he is drinking and smoking all the damn time. Where he work, McDonalds? Wal-Mart? Maintenance at the school? Mechanic at Jiffy Lube? Look, he’s still a little boy in a grown man’s body. I bet he’s running around with corn-rolls in his head, rocking throwback jerseys, and Timbs. He probably got rims on his car, and got his stereo turned up blasting Meek Mills, Jeezy, and Lil Boosie. SMDH! Ma’am, he’s trapped in a time warp trying to hold on to his youth, and you’re trying to get him to grow up and be a man. It ain’t going to happen. Men who run the streets are not husband material. They live and belong in the streets. He hasn’t and won’t mature. He’s trapped and mentally and emotionally thwarted, and he cannot let go of what should of, could of, would have been. It’s time to wake your a** up, and remember the commitment you gave to yourself, and the commitment you decided on when chose to get married. Those commitments are not what you have. I want you to be committed to empowering yourself. Be committed to being a great mom to your children. Be committed to leaving the streets and that environment. Be committed to a life filled with joy, happiness, peace, and love. Your life does not resemble any of what you were hoping you would get. You’re miserable, unhappy, stressed, and dealing with drama. Now, according to my math, if a+b+c does not equal a+b+c, and you’re getting x-y/x, then it’s time to redo your math. Well, unless you went to Up The Street Public School. Ma’am, you cannot keep putting your children’s lives in danger because of the lifestyle your husband is committed to. Chile, you don’t know these streets like you think you do. One of his own boys can be plotting on him and may want to take him and you out. Hell, one of his customers or one of them ‘hoes’ may get the bright idea to get revenge and eliminate all of you. STOP PUTTING YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDREN’S LIVES ON THE LINE BECAUSE OF HIM. It’s not worth it! And, you cannot keep sacrificing your sanity, and happiness for a man who is not committed to his marriage, or being a real man or father. He can’t commit to himself, therefore how in the hell can he commit to you and his children? His only commitment is to the streets, jail, and other women. Those are the only consistent things in his life. You are not a part of that equation. It’s time to leave! Save your coins, get you a house in the suburbs some place, get your kids settled into a new environment, and do it without him. Remain in church, keep getting spiritually fed, and nourish your soul. Trust and believe, after a year or two, and when you look back on your life with him, and you see how you’ve grown and he’s still doing the same thing from the time you met him, you’ll say to yourself, “What the hell was I thinking?” – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Congratulations are in order for Shakira and her boyfriend Gerard Pique! Shakira has given birth to a baby boy! Pique tweeted the birth announcement Thursday night in Spanish. Translated it said, “Our son has been born! We are very happy! Thanks to all for your messages.” Shakira served as a mentor on The Voice this fall and Pique is a soccer player for FC Barcelona. This is the first child for the both parents. Congratulations on the new addition!
The Real Housewives of Miami “Reunion” show relived all the boob jobs and character bashing we’ve seen all season and added a bit of extra venom just for fun. We recap their finger pointing tirades in our THG +/- review. First off, I must say that Andy’s plaid tie is an interesting cholce. Plus 10. It is almost the antithesis of all of the sequins and bling that surround him. Andy mentions that The Real Housewives of Miami shows more boobs and ass than most of the Housewives franchises. So true. And almost all of it has had some after market work done. Lea admits to a neck lift. Joanna a boob job. Lisa to boobs and Botox but the rest of the ladies remain suspiciously quiet. Minus 13. I’d bet boobs and Botox all around but I suppose we may never know for sure. What’s your guess? And of course Elsa’s story is such a nightmare that they barely touch on it. Minus 18. Perhaps that’s the cautionary tale that should be told most often. Ana’s not admitting to a boob job but she’s certainly put the girls on full display. Did she forget to wear part of that top? She looks like she’s going to fall out if it at any moment. Andy finally gets to the relationship drama and there is plenty of it. Plus 11. Despite the lack of sex, Romain calling her a “pain in the ass,” and Joanna spying on his texts, this on again, off again couple is on once again. They’ve gone back and forth so many times I’m not even sure how to grade that one. And that’s when Adriana jumps in. Since when does Adriana hate Joanna this much? They seemed to end the season being at least civil to one another but the gloves have obviously come off. Adriana accuses Joanna of getting back together with Romain for the publicity and that without him she might not be on the show. Minus 15 . Um…isn’t Joanna the only semi-celebrity of this group? Why would she need a club owner to get her on? The name calling doesn’t stop all night as Adriana accuses Joanna of being an alcoholic, a whore, and a mental case. Gee, I wish she’d tell us what she really thinks. Minus 20 because Adriana’s always been a bit of a nut but tonight she comes off as nothing but petty and mean. Someone may need to adjust her medication because she’s really off the hook. Even Lea, who Adriana admits is her one real friend, tells her that what she’s showing to the world is the opposite of the beautiful image she portrays on the outside. Once Andy gets Adriana and Joanna to pull their claws back in, he asks Karent about Rodolfo…and all I can think is, Please tell me she didn’t take the sleazeball back . Yay! Plus 25 . Karent really kicked him to the curb. Her father’s illness showed her what was truly important and Rodolfo didn’t make the list. Thank goodnesss. When Lea jumps to Karent’s defense, Ana says Lea’s “blowing smoke up her ass.” Whoa! Where did all of this rage towards Lea come from? MInus 19. Ana gets truly nasty. Who knew she had that in her? But I’m still not sure why. Ana claims Lea isn’t even relevant in her own home and implies her husband is cheating on her. She continually makes digs about her age and says Lea has “done all her best work on her back.” MInus 15 . Lea’s not my favorite person but where did all of this vitriol come from? I don’t remember anything like this coming from Ana all season. Plus 17 to Andy for stopping the umpteenth retelling of Marysol’s red carpet story. I may have fallen asleep if I had to listen to that one again. Suddenly we’re back to the Adriana / Joanna feud and I think Adriana might hurt herself if she continue to roll her eyes like that. Andy brings up Joanna’s drinking problem and she swears she doesn’t have a problem, just a small issue. Minus 10 . Perhaps she needs to watch the video again. Joanna says she’d rather be a verbally abusive drunk than a slutty drunk. Does it have to be one or the other? Adriana points out that her true nature comes out when she drinks and she’s an evil drunk. Joanna shoots back that Adriana’s evil when she’s sober. Minus 9 because just when I thought the screeching was over I realize that this reunion show continues next week. Episode total = -56! Season total = -336!
They named her one of 2012′s ‘Rule Breakers’… According to The Hollywood Reporter , Oprah says she’s got a lot to be thankful for in 2012: “I’m not doing the hula yet …but compared to a year ago, it feels like a sigh of relief,” says Winfrey between sips of iced tea on her sprawling estate. She’s referring to the recent surge in relevance (and ratings) of her OWN cable network, which debuted two years earlier to a deluge of headlines about weak programming, management shake-ups and its honcho’s dwindling influence. “Part of my own expectation was, ‘You’ve had 25 years of success; people will leverage that,’ ” confesses the 58-year-old mogul. “But we didn’t account for people not having the channel, and not knowing how to find it, and the cable audience being different from broadcast.” Today, the network, co-owned by Discovery and Winfrey, is generating fresh ink: 3.5 million viewers tuned in to see her mourn with Whitney Houston’s family as part of her Oprah’s Next Chapter interview series; 2.5 million watched as Rihanna opened up about her relationship with R&B star Chris Brown; and 1.6 million watched her debate marriage and faith with Pastor Joel Osteen. OWN also has signed a lucrative producing deal with Tyler Perry, found buzz in shows like Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s (a reality series about a St. Louis family who runs soul food restaurants) and delivered 10 consecutive months of year-over-year growth. Discovery chief David Zaslav has stated that the feel-good network is poised to become profitable in late 2013, ahead of the five-year horizon Saturday Night Live’s Lorne Michaels, a friend, told Winfrey to expect. “He said to me, ‘It’s like throwing spaghetti against the wall and watching it drizzle down,’ ” she recalls of a conversation they had in early 2011. “ ‘Nothing’s going to work until you get there.’ ” What do you think of OWN??

If you haven’t yet heard of Matthias Schoenaerts , a.k.a. the Belgian Brando, you’re going to start running out of excuses. The son of actor Julien Schoenaerts, Matthias is already a sex-symbol in his native Belgium. He made his on-screen debut alongside his father in the Oscar-nominated Daens and broke Flemish box-office records in Erik Van Looy’s Loft . But he really burst forth onto the world cinema stage last year with his gripping turn as the lead in Michael Roskam’s Academy Award nominated cow-hormone crime-epic Bullhead . Injecting testosterone into his thigh with all the flair of a young Robert De Niro , Schoenaerts tempered his young thug’s animalistic rage with an innate vulnerability that’s earned him comparisons to Ryan Gosling and Tom Hardy. His reward: getting to star opposite perennial candidate for Most Beautiful Woman Alive Marion Cotillard in Rust and Bone , renowned director Jacques Audiard’s follow up to A Prophet . Audiard’s films — from the smoldering romance in Read My Lips to the frustrated aspirations of The Beat That My Heart Skipped — paint the underworld as an intrinsically human place where criminals can’t help but dream in the face of the harsh world in which they live. So, who better to play Audiard’s latest brute with a heart of gold than Schoenaerts? And as the end result proves, the two are a match made in heaven. Rust and Bone , which is generating awards buzz, including Golden Globe nominations for Cotillard and the film in the Foreign Language category and populating 2012 best-film lists , charts the unlikely romance between an impoverished beachside bouncer moonlighting as an underground fighter and an orca trainer whose life is thrown into disarray after a tragic tango with the aforementioned killer whales. What could otherwise come across as improbable melodrama feels palpably real and poignant in the hands of Audiard, Cotillard and Schoenaerts. Which is to say, break out the handkerchiefs and don’t look back. Movieline caught up with Schoenaerts by phone as he packed for a trip to Antwerp. He talked about the joys of working with Audiard and Cotillard, beefing up on junk food, and why his dream role could just as easily be a character who works at McDonalds. Movieline: I became a fan of yours after Bullhead, and I love Jacques Audiard’s films, so I was elated to find you two working together. What brought you to this role? Schoenaerts: What attracted me was that it was a hard character to tackle because he’s very ambiguous. There’s a lot about this guy and it was a challenge to portray him in the richest way possible and not make him this one-dimensional thug. The screenplay to me was raw, it was gritty, it was very poetic, it was touching. It was human. At the same time, it was set against the backdrop of the economic crisis, which is the reality for a lot of people nowadays. That’s what I like about Jacques. His screenplays have a very naturalistic feel to them but at the same time, they’re really genre films. You prepare really intensely for your roles. For instance, you ate over 3,000 cans of tuna to beef up for Bullhead . What did you do for this one? Of course, there was the physical preparation, which required me to start boxing. I had to gain weight again, and I had to grow a belly. So, for a couple of months, I was boxing everyday, doing MMA training and doing some weightlifting. I was also eating a lot of junk food to get this body that looked strong but not really fit and a bit unhealthy because the guy is poor so he doesn’t have the means to feed himself properly. After that, I worked a lot with Jacques. We explored scenes, improvised and got to know each other. I’m curious how he works because his movies are so naturalistic. Did you guys talk a lot about the characters, or did he just give you the broad strokes and let you run with it? [Talking] is something that we do upfront, but once we’re on set, it’s all about being instinctive and intuitive and not to have too many preconceived ideas on a scene. It’s just, “We’re here in the moment, let’s bring the scene to life. Let’s make it real and vivid.” He’s all about that. He’s really an actor’s director. He’s with you all the time and he’s really generous because he respects actors a lot. I think it’s because he worked in theater for many years. He’s really working with you, he’s challenging you and he wants you to challenge him. It’s fabulous. Was there a lot of improvisation on set? No. There’s room for improvisation but, how shall I say, it’s not a way of working. Everything was scripted and of course once in a while things happen, so you just go with it. But improvisation is certainly not a method on set. You probably can’t improvise fights like that without suffering serious head trauma. Oh, yeah. There’s also a lot of rehearsing. It takes a lot of preparation to do it. There’s a stunt team that really choreographed everything and lined everything up and we rehearsed over and over again. Well, those fights looked brutal. But what I really love about your work–in this and Bullhead –is how you bring an inherent gentleness to such tough characters. Is that the key to approaching tough guys — going against the grain? It’s not going against the grain! It’s being human. Being human is being a lot of things at the same time. Your appearance shouldn’t define who you are, and that’s what I like, the contrast between people looking like the opposite of what they truly are deep inside. How was it working with the actor who plays your son. They say it can be hard to work with children, but you guys had great chemistry. It was intense. He was a very particular kid and pretty young, so we rehearsed a lot with the kid. We worked quite a lot up front. All of sudden, this kid really opened up and somehow got attached to me, and I got attached to him. From there on, it became a very natural thing. And Marion Cotillard? That looked pretty natural, too. It was that same natural connection that happened on set. We had something very genuine going on. She’s obviously extremely talented and very generous. We really had a ball. It was intense. It was not an easy film to make for many reasons, but we enjoyed every second. So, what was the hardest part of making the film? I think it’s always a matter of finding the right balance between all the elements of the story, and the characters and the relationship being portrayed. Especially for this relationship between these two people, it’s a very thin line to fall back into a sentimental portrayal or something that becomes vulgar. That’s probably the biggest challenge. It’s a very much a melodrama, but it doesn’t feel sentimental at all. For example, I love that line where she’s giving you that intense talk about how to have a proper relationship, you take it all in and then respond, pardon my rough French translation, “let’s get it on.” ( Laughs ) Well, actually that was NOT scripted, that was something I made up on set. Really? I knew it! I feel like I’ve told several girls that in my life. ( Laughs ) Yeah. Do you do that at all—go back to a catalog of past loves and use it for a role? Somehow on a subconscious level or sometimes on a conscious level, of course you go back to experiences you have had and sometimes they might help you a little or not. So, do you ever go back to past bar fights and use those for inspiration? No, no! Not at all. That’s not me. Of course, of course. But I love that line when you put her first boyfriend down. Was that improvised? That was scripted. At the same time, it had to be very menacing without being a menace. It had to be a very genuine question, which was kind of menacing but we didn’t want it to be played as menace. Well, I congratulate you for making me feel empathy for a bouncer. I like underdogs, I like anti-heroes — people that have a hard time overcoming things in life. What attracted me to those two characters, they have everything against them and they have to come from really far to get somewhere. I’m just looking for touching characters. When I read [a script], I want it to speak to me. I want it to touch me on a human and profound level. That could be a car mechanic, it could be someone who works at McDonalds, it could be a pianist, it could be so many things. To me, it’s not about a certain type of character. To me, all people are to some extent the same. So, it’s all about the screenplay and the specifics of the character within that screenplay. It seems to be working for you. I hope we get to see you in more movies in the States. Do you have any dream directors you’d like to work with? I don’t know. I could say, P.T. Anderson , David Lynch , Michael Mann , Gus Van Sant . There’s so many, and I’m forgetting a lot. The guy who directed Blue Valentine ! [ Derek Cianfrance ] There are so many. Michael Mann would be lucky to have you– I’ll send a letter to his agent right now. Yeah, thanks! Okay, my last question, I have to ask… the love scenes with Marion — and without her legs. How did you guys pull that off? They just do it with green socks on her legs and paint it over digitally. There must be a lot of choreography to get it right then—keep your leg here, move your arm there. Probably a lot less sensuous than it looks. Yeah, of course, because then it makes shadow. There are a lot of technicalities, but once you’re doing it, you just go with it. I assume falling in love with Marion Cotillard is not one of the more challenging tasks you’ve faced. Exactly.

Usain Bolt’s secret British piece has dropped him just in time for the holidays! Via Mirror UK: British office girl who captured the heart of Olympic champion Usain Bolt during the Games has ended their romance… because he lives too far away. Megan Edwards, 22, split from the world’s fastest man after he flew her to Jamaica to meet his family. The down-to-earth accounts worker decided that the 4,600 miles between her and the smitten sprinter was too much to handle, and she wouldn’t be able to handle his globe-trotting lifestyle either. Devastated Usain, 26, begged her to change her mind, but Megan revealed: “In the end I had to let my head rule my heart. It was amazing out there, but that’s where I decided it couldn’t go on. He was talking about having to fly here and there and I was going back to my office job. So when I got home I rang him and told him it wasn’t going to work. I said the distance thing and not seeing him often enough was a problem for me.” “He was very upset and said ‘Don’t do it, what can I do?’. I told him, ‘There is nothing you can do… you are who you are’. “I am just a normal girl and I know people say, ‘You would have been fine with it’, but I wouldn’t. If I was a celebrity then our relationship probably would have lasted longer.” Junior athlete Megan caught the eye of the 100m world record holder when she was chosen to model Jamaica’s team kit for the Games and appeared on a catwalk with him. “We live at opposite ends of the globe,” she told a friend. “He talked about flying all over the place and there’s me having to go back to Dartford. “I really liked him, but I only have a set amount of holiday that I can use each year and I’mnot going to use it all up going to see Usain Bolt in Jamaica. “A few things crystallised in my head while I was away and when I got back. So after a couple of days I telephoned him to call it off. It was very hard and I was upset too. “In the end he asked if we could still be friends and I said, ‘Of course… you haven’t done anything wrong to me’. I don’t think he was expecting it. “It wasn’t as though it fizzled out. It was just at this present moment in time we are, neither of us, in the right place. “And I told him that it wasn’t right for us to be together right now and that it just wasn’t going to work out between us.” Now Megan is concentrating on her own Olympic dream, taking inspiration from the boyfriend she had to let go. “I hope to go to Rio in 2016 and do the 800or 1500 metres,” she said. “Perhaps Usain will be there too…” Poor Usain…just when he dumped the white girl for the home team too …SMH.
Simon Cowell often comes across as gruff as a judge on The X Factor , and we really have no idea why: He’s dating Carmen Electra! Cowell confirmed this long-gestating rumor yesterday in an interview with good friend Ryan Seacrest, stopping short of referring to the former Playboy centerfold as his “girlfriend,” but admitting: “We’re people who date. She’s adorable, isn’t she?” Electra and Cowell first cozied up when the former appeared as a guest judge on Britain’s Got Talent in February. They were then spotted kissing a few months later in West Hollywood. It’s unclear how serious things are between the stars, though neither may be in a rush to get married: Cowell recently ended his engagement to Mezhgan Hussainy, while Electra did the same with Rob Patterson. She has also been married to Dennis Rodman and Dave Navarro. At the very least, however, we need a nickname, don’t we? Cowlectra? Simen? Cowell and Electra need your help, people!
As if the ongoing love triangle featuring Rihanna, Chris Brown, and Karrueche Tran weren’t complicated enough, Ayem Nour claims she boned Brown this month. With Karrueche’s consent, no less. Nour, a popular French reality star and model, tells Oops! magazine (yes, that’s a real thing) that she had sex with Brown while he was partying with Tran in Paris. According to Nour, the sex was beautiful and she’s flattered to be in the same league as Rihanna … who was getting it on with Chris after he dumped Karrueche. Confused yet? Oops! magazine probably isn’t the most reliable tabloid, even by celebrity gossip standards, so obviously, whatever Ayem Nour claims is highly dubious. Just the same, in its latest issue – featuring Nour and the headline “I Slept with Chris Brown!” – she insists that she and Chris slapped bodies in Paris. After Nour, who supposedly first met Brown on his “Celebration” video set, explains that she and a friend were invited back to his room after a night of partying. “When we entered the room, there were a lot of people … it was very festive. There was alcohol, music … and a bit of grass,” says the Parisian brunette. Oh, and Karrueche Tran was there … and find with sharing her man. “[Karrueche] has never interfered in the relationship between Chris and me,” Nour explains, insisting that the duo is “rather open” when it comes to sexuality. The price of being back with Chris Brown, perhaps. Whatever works? As for Rihanna , Ayem says she’s proud to follow in her footsteps. Nour says, “It’s beautiful and flattering. I do not ask for much. Some will criticize me, but I put any girl in challenge to say no to Chris Brown.” Challenge issued, Jenny Johnson. Earlier this week, Christina Milian said that Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran are officially back together, just a few months after he dumped her for Rihanna. Or “because of his friendship” with Rihanna, to use Breezy’s official line. In any case, now you’re up to date. Who gets in Chris Brown’s pants yet is anyone’s guess, but let’s hope Rihanna, Karrueche and Ayem all use protection.
