Rihanna’s got a new man
Has Rihanna got a new beau?
According to the New York Daily News, the Russian Roulette singer is hooking-up with 90210 actor Tristan Wilds.
Rumours began to swirl when 20-year-old, Wilds arrived at a private party at the R&B stars Los Angeles home. A fellow guest said: “No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party — it was very intimate, but everyone quickly realised they weren’t meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see.”
And Rihanna already seems taken to the actor, the source continued: “She likes him a lot, and it shows. From the moment he walked into her party, Rihanna lit up.”
Well, let’s just hope this story has a happier, violent-free ending…
R.Kelly admits he is illiterate
Singer/songwriter R. Kelly has revealed that despite his musical talents, he suffers from illiteracy and barely made it through high-school.
The ‘Trapped In The Closet’ star spoke of his shortcoming, during a speech he gave at the Midwest Musical Festival in Chicago, he said: “I don’t even really read and I’m not afraid to say that. My cousins and brothers used to tease me.
“The only reason I graduated from grammar school is because I had a great jump shot. I went to high school and [my teacher] told me ‘you will be one of the greatest writers of all time.’ I believed. You [have to] believe it. You can’t believe [anything] if you’re hating. You can’t achieve [anything] if you’re hating.”
It’s rather odd and ironic that one of the most ubiquitous songwriters in contemporary R&B would struggle to read a children’s book…stay in school kids.
Ne-Yo exits stage in tears
Ne-Yo has sparked fears for his health after exiting the stage early in a flood of tears halfway during a gig in Manchester.
The R&B star, struggled throughout a half hour performance looking on the verge of collapse according to concert-goers. The singer then left the stage, only to return and announce through tears that, although he had never had to abandon a performance before, he would not be able to carry-on.
In a blog post entitled “This Is My Life,” the 28-year-old explained the demands of shooting his World War II film, along with his non-stop touring schedule took a toll on his body.
“Basically, I have an issue with not knowing when to say enough is enough, so last night in Manchester, my body said it for me. From the first song I knew something was wrong. I [should have] stopped there.”
“I’ve never had to stop a show, never dreamed I’d ever have to. So when I had to walk out on that stage and tell 12,000 of the people responsible for making me who I am that I could not perform for them, it literally broke my heart. I cried harder than I have in a very long time with no shame whatsoever.”
