Rise 'n' Shine: Who Is Bradley Cooper Really Dating?

1 July 2009 6:07 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

•  Bradley Cooper is a rumor mill king. After attending a week's worth of parties with Lake Bell and having a romantic dinner with Jennifer Aniston, the Hangover star is supposedly getting cozy with Renée Zellweger. Seriously, who's next? Rihanna? Molly Sims? You make the call. •  Michael Jackson's dance moves, especially the Moonwalk, are still smooth like butter…literally. •  Reps for ABC have already said it's completely false, but we still think the rumor that Susan Boyle was going to appear on Ugly Betty is funny. •  Could bargain shopper and So You Think You Can Dance host Cat Deeley be more adorably...

Teary Janet Jackson Steals The Show At BET Awards

29 June 2009 4:06 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Janet Jackson stunned a star-studded audience at the BET Awards on Sunday night, by paying a tearful tribute to her late brother Michael.

Following a ceremony dedicated to the King of Pop, who died suddenly on Thursday, the crowd fell silent as Jackson strode onstage.

She fought back tears as she said, "My entire family wanted to be here tonight, but it was just too painful, so they elected me to be here to speak with you.

"To you Michael was an icon. To us, Michael is family and he will forever live in all of our hearts.

"On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, and for all your support. We miss him so much."

Jackson's father Joseph was also at the event, and spoke briefly with reporters on the red carpet, telling them, "I wish the world had recognised him when he was living. Right now, he's bigger than ever. But I wish he was here to see all this, to hear all this."

Inside, the starstudded event kicked off with full a reunion of New Edition, including Bobby Brown, to perform a medley of Jackson Five songs.

Ne-Yo and Ciara also paid homage to the pop superstar during the night by performing his songs.

The ceremony was hosted by Jamie Foxx, who honoured Jackson throughout the night by appearing in a number of Jacko-inspired outfits - and even Moonwalked the length of the stage at Hollywood's Shrine Auditorium, to the delight of the celeb-packed crowd that included Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Kanye West and Rihanna.

He closed the event with an emotional duet of Jackson track I'll Be There, with R&B star Ne-Yo.

Foxx was also joined onstage by T-Pain, Snoop Dogg and drummer Travis Barker to perform a spectacular version of his hit Blame it on the Alcohol, which earned Foxx and T-Pain the Best Collaboration award on the night.

Other performers included Soulja Boy Tellem, Lil Wayne, Jay-z and his wife Beyonce, who performed Ava Maria wearing a tutu and tiara - and then picked up the Best Female R&B Award, dedicating it to Michael Jackson, who she called "my hero and my teacher".

Her hit Single Ladies also won her the Video of the Year award.

The O'Jays were honoured with a Lifetime Achievement award, and there were humanitarian awards for Alicia Keys and Wyclef Jean, for their charitable work.

Jailed rapper T.I. won the Viewer's Choice award for Live Your Life, his collaboration with Rihanna. His girlfriend Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle picked up the award in his absence and paid tribute to her beau, who's serving a year-long sentence on guns charges.

The main list of BET Award winners is as follows:

Best Male Athlete - LeBron James

Best Male Hip Hop - Lil Wayne

Best Female Hip Hop - M.I.A.

Best Collaboration - Jamie Foxx ft T-Pain

Best Male R&B Artist - Ne-Yo

Westwood, California — On Monday night, some of Hollywood's biggest stars descended on the Mann Village Theatre for a huge premiere, celebrating the summer's biggest, loudest, most high-profile movie. But on the "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" red carpet, moments before the film was unveiled, the day's news involving Chris Brown and Rihanna was on everyone's lips.

"Violence is never the answer — even if provoked," reasoned Aubrey O'Day, the former Danity Kane member and "Making the Band" star, who had just heard the news that Brown accepted a plea deal. "But with bigger issues like war, we just need to let go and forgive. Let people move on."

Brown Avoids Jail, Gets Community Service And Probation Over Beating

22 June 2009 3:18 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Chris Brown has avoided a jail spell after pleading guilty to assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna, hours before the former couple was due to meet in court in Los Angeles.

The R&B star has been ordered to serve 180 hours of community service in his home state of Virginia and he has been told he must stay away from Rihanna.

He'll also serve five years probation for felony assault, and he'll have to return to court periodically, so his efforts can be monitored.

Brown will also have to enroll in a domestic violence counselling program, according to TMZ.com.

The plea deal came just after Brown and Rihanna had arrived at Los Angeles Supreme Court for a preliminary hearing into his attack on the Umbrella singer on the eve of the Grammy Awards in February.

Rihanna was left beaten and bruised following the fight with her ex. Reports suggested the row was over correspondence Brown received from an ex-girlfriend.

The Disturbia singer obviously expected the worst when she arrived to court, where she was due to testify - she wore all black.

A bystander says, "It looked as if she was going to a funeral."

Brown And Rihanna Prepare To Face-Off In Court

22 June 2009 9:25 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Rihanna will take the witness stand in a Los Angeles court on Monday to talk publicly for the first time about her fight with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

The pair will come face to face at a preliminary hearing, ahead of Brown's trial on charges of assault and making criminal threats, stemming from the pair's bust-up back in February.

Rihanna, who was allegedly left cut and bruised after the altercation, was subpoenaed and will give evidence at the hearing.

Although Brown's attorney Mark Geragos lost a last ditch plea deal attempt in a bid to avoid a public trial, television cameras will be banned from the courthouse.

Brown, 20, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. He faces a maximum sentence of four years and eight months in jail if convicted.

A sketch artist will, however, be permitted. Rihanna - whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty - has cleared her schedule so she can be in court if she is required to give evidence. Her lawyer Donald Etra has been told by prosecutors the

Rihanna spent her weekend in NYC, checking out the number one film The Hangover and showcasing her eclectic fashion sense.

Rihanna May Appear Naked on Playboy Magazine

15 June 2009 12:19 AM, PDT | From Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news

Rihanna may appear shirtless on the pages of Playboy magazine. The rumors sparked after the singer was seen stepping out from a building, which was the headquarters of the publication, in New York City on Friday, June 12. Sporting gray tank top, the ex-girlfriend of Chris Brown smiled to fans and paparazzi who took her picture along the way heading to her hotel.

Previously, Vogue magazine canceled Rihanna's appearance on their cover due to leaked naked picture of the "Umbrella" songstress. But if her visit to Playboy office was for job, then the Barbadian beauty will probably flaunt her bare skin in front of camera once again.

A day after her visit to Playboy office, Rihanna was spotted enjoying her weekend on Saturday, June 13, in New York City. She and her pal spent their evening watching the hit movie "The Hangover" at Lower Kips Bay.

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert may want America to keep speculating about his sexuality, but there's at least one person who has no doubt which way the 27-year-old singer swings: judge Kara DioGuardi. "I don't think that Adam was ever in [the closet]," she says in a chat set to air on The View Friday. Her comment came as part of a response to host Barbara Walters, who had asked if Lambert's controversial loss to Kris Allen was influenced by questions about whether Lambert is gay.

The singer is facing charges of assault and making criminal threats, stemming from a clash with Rihanna after a pre-Grammy Awards party back in February.

The Umbrella hitmaker, who was photographed after the fight with a bloody and bruised face, will attend the hearing, her attorney Donald Etra tells Usmagazine.com.

At a separate hearing on Thursday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg denied Brown's attempt to discover who leaked a photograph of a bruised Rihanna to the press.
