Report: Chris Brown and Rihanna Back Together Again

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Hook-ups, Legal Issues

Those hoping Rihanna would completely sever ties from Chris Brown will have to wait a bit longer.

Less than three weeks after the alleged assault, the “Disturbia” singer and her (former?) beau have reunited. According to a source for People magazine, the two (along with one of Jay-Z’s bodyguards) are currently spending time together at one of Sean Combs’ homes on Miami Beach’s Star Island. (A relaxed Brown was recently snapped jet skiing in the area.)

Joaquin Phoenix: The Rapper?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Videos

UPDATE: Sources are now claiming that Phoenix’s new rapping career is an elaborate hoax.

Either we’re all being punked…or this will be the most interesting film about a “musician” since Dewey Cox.

On Friday night, Joaquin Phoenix - who announced last year that he was giving up acting for music - put on his very first vocal performance before a Las Vegas crowd. Instead of Johnny Cash, clubgoers at LAVO were treated to three songs from an entirely different type of genre: rap.

Questionable Photo of the Day: Joaquin Phoenix

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Hair Styles, Photos

UPDATE: Several sources are now claiming that Phoenix’s new rapping career is an elaborate hoax.

Who’s that guy Diddy’s staring at? Believe it or not, that’s Walk the Line‘s Joaquin Phoenix. The two - along with Casey Affleck -  were spotted partying in Miami Beach earlier this week.

Just a few months back, the Oscar nominee announced that he was giving up acting to focus on his musical career. Hopefully, he’ll also find time to focus on showers and shaving during his retirement. (You can see more pics of the 34-year-old’s new look after the jump.)

Phoenix still has one more film set for the big screen. Two Lovers, also starring Gwyneth Paltrow, is scheduled for a February 13 release.

Why is Diddy Hiding Under the Covers?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Videos, Editorials

In a recent entry on his vlog, Sean Combs (Diddy) cowered under the covers, spoke in a frightened whisper and admitted to one of his biggest fears: that Sarah Palin, Vice Presidential contender, will become the President of the United States.

“Sarah Palin, you scare me,” Diddy says dramatically, a single flashbulb illuminating the white sheet surrounding him. “She’s worse than the boogeyman!” He cries, eyes wide and haunted with images of Palin White House.

In the video, Diddy shows a clip of Palin’s interview with Katie Couric and goes on to lament the possibilities of the future. “If I stay under the covers, she won’t become President!” He decides, continuing to cower. View the clip after the jump.

Diddy Forced to Fly Commercial

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Videos

Cue the violins.

In Diddy Blog #12 (“Gas Prices are Too Mother F***in High”),  the entertainment mogul talks about his fight against global warming shrinking pocketbook.

Faced with ridiculous fuel prices, Diddy is now being forced to fly…wait for it….commercial. (He also claims to be flying coach, though I think the seat he winds up in is far nicer than anything I’ve ever planted my butt on.)

Well - if the businessman continues to plug American Airlines, maybe he can at least earn himself one of those celebrity discounts.

Questionable Outfit of the Day: Aubrey O’Day

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Clothing, Fashion Police, Red Carpet, Style

I’m confused. From what I remember, Diddy often made a big deal about how his girls from Danity Kane looked and dressed.

Now that she’s reached Season 3 of Making the Band 4, did he simply stop caring - like everyone else - what Aubrey O’Day does?

(Make sure to check out our other questionable outfits.)

Sean Combs Answers LA Times

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Rivalries, Breaking News

An inflammatory article published by the LA Times has brought about quick response from entertainment mogul Sean (P. Diddy, Puff Daddy) Combs. The article suggested that Combs, along with Notorious B.I.G., Jimmy Rosemond and a promoter, knew that rap superstar Tupac Shakur was to be gunned down before the event happened on November 30, 1994.

Seriously, I like tasty entertainment gossip as much as anybody, but isn’t this old news? What was the LA Times thinking, anyway? At any rate, the story was published and now Combs is pissed. In a statement released today, Combs addressed the allegations: “This story is a lie. It is beyond ridiculous and is completely false. Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened. It is a complete lie to suggest that there was any involvement by Biggie or myself. I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such a baseless and completely untrue story.” Well.

Diddy Helps Out His Drunk Friends

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Drunk

Diddy, supposedly acting in the interest of his high profile friends, has decided that he wants to help get them home.

Thanks to the mogul, celebs should no longer have an excuse to rack up a DUI on their record.  Now they’ll be able to call up one of the vehicles from the entrepreneur’s car service fleet when they’ve had a bit too much.  In other words - they’ll soon be able to pass out in style!

While I think its always wise for boozy stars to have a backup option, there are two major flaws with this plan.

1. If a clubgoer really cared about what was best for everyone, they could simply call a cab.
2. If he really cared about people “partying responsibly”, shouldn’t he offer the rides for free?
