It hasn’t even been two full years since Chris Brown beat Rihanna to a pulp and the singer is already allowing him a chance to get back in her life. Rihanna has apparently approved Chris’ request to have the restraining order against him softened to a mere level one. Basically that means the two can communicate as long as Chris refrains from any abuse or harassment.

With Grammy night, the anniversary of the brawl that lead to their breakup, just around the corner, it seems like Chris is trying to pry himself back into her life while he thinks he may still have a chance. Rihanna’s newly single, just went through another nude photo scandal, but her career is hotter than ever. Successful and vulnerable, every psycho dude’s favorite type of lady.

Sad thing is, I’m pretty sure there’s at least a small chance these two will get back together. Rihanna gives off a major “I do what I want and nobody can stop me” vibe, and I doubt she would consider the opinions of her fans and/or people when making moves in her romantic life.

Ugh. I am so not ready for Whitney and Bobby, Part 2 (The Remix).

Rihanna‘s new wacky sex dungeon-themed video for her song “S&M” was released yesterday and while it’s visually interesting (it looks a bit like a tribute to Busta Rhymes’ videos), I’m not really feeling this song yet. And I have to ask: Why is Perez Hilton in this video? If you can excuse the fact that he’s the worst human in the world, isn’t so much as a Perez Hilton reference a little 2007? I would think that Rihanna would have pulled for Antoine Dodson or someone more relevant if she was looking for a Z-list yet recognizable face.

Plus, I’m still not ready to move on from “What’s My Name?” Or “Rude Boy”, even.

What do you think of the “S&M” video?

LADIES, THIS IS WHY YOU CAN’T TRUST MEN.

Shortly after her break-up from Chris Brown, Rihanna started dating basketball player Matt Kemp. The two were really cute together and seemed to be hitting it off great, which is why she probably felt comfortable sending him nude shots of herself.

Of course now the sexy pics have been leaked, making this the second time that RiRi has found herself in this position. Welcome to Kendra’s club, girl.

The nudes could be a lot worse. Her breasts aren’t exposed and her other lady bits are covered by a lace thong, but there’s no question that these photos were not meant for the public eye.

Be careful out there, ladies. And Justin Bieber.

Rihanna posted this photo on her Twitter yesterday of her and Nicki Minaj during the video shoot for Nicki’s song “Fly”. I am a huge fan of both ladies (My love of Nicki has been well-documented on this blog and I recently dyed my hair red, partially inspired by RiRi. I won’t lie) but I’m not sure if I’m crazy about this recent radio hit. There’s no doubt that the video will be hot as hell, but the song? Meh.

Are you a fan of “Fly” or are you one of those strange folks that could take or leave these two artists?

I’ve got a lot of love for Rihanna, I really do. And even when she started crapping around with her hair and dyeing it all sorts of garish red, I stuck it out and stood by my love for Rihanna. But girlfriend was photographed during Christmas break this past weekend in her home country of Barbados and I have to say – the babushka, the horrible Flashdance-esque swimsuit-leotard and the crispy over-processed red hair did nothing for Rihanna except make her look like a middle-aged holidaymaker who bought all of their beach accessories at That Trendy-but-Inexpensive Juniors’ Store with the strobe lights and cheap, stained brown carpeting – the one that’s hidden behind the Goodwill on the main strip.

I love Bon Jovi. I love him probably more than I can even tolerate 90% of today’s ‘rock and roll’ musicians or pop stars. Jovi’s got substance, lasting power, and above all, talent, and this is why I’m not sure he’s trying to hard to remain relevant in today’s meat market known as the music world when, guys, he’s already got this.

Anyway, Jon Bon Jovi appeared on Europe’s MTV Music Awards last night and did this awkward duet with Rihanna (above). And I’m confused.

Just … watch the video. And let me know if you share the same sentiments, like ‘Is the Jove selling out?’ ‘Was this even the Jove’s idea?’ ‘Is this what Rihanna considers dancing?’
