British pop star Cheryl Cole is backing Chris Brown and urging fans to forgive him for assaulting Rihanna three years ago. Convinced Brown has made positive changes in his life since assaulting Rihanna in February of 2009, the “Call My Name” singer and former “X-Factor” judge sat down for an interview with Alex James on “In:Demand With Alex” to encourage others to forgive and forget. “I think it’s really kind of Rihanna [to forgive Brown],” the 28-year-old explained, “She’s come out and publicly forgiven him, really.” Although Rihanna recently stopped following Brown on Twitter, sources told US Weekly in January that the pair have been seeing each other the past year, and in February they released two new songs they recorded together. “I think it’s about time we all [forgave Brown], if I’m completely honest, if you want my opinion,” Cole added, “I think it’s time we all moved on. That guy is talented as hell.” Over the weekend Chris thanked Cheryl by sending her a message on Twitter saying, “thanks for the support and believing in me as an artist!” As for RiRi, she spoke out against the criticism she’s getting for talking to Brown again telling ELLE in May, “I respect what other people have to say. The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently”. The 24-year-old “You Da One” singer admitted, “It’s very hard for me to accept, but I get it, people end up wasting their time on the blogs or whatever, ranting away, and that’s all right. I don’t hate them for it.”

Rihanna risks burning out again as she misses flight and cancels work after boozy night out
Jet setting out of La La land on a trip to Lonodn, Rihanna was seen catching a flight out of LAX Airport in Los Angeles, CA on Friday (May 18). The “Talk That Talk” songstress kept it casual in skinny jeans, a zip up hoodie and Jordan tennis shoes as she made her way through the Tinseltown terminal en route to her outbound aircraft. Once arriving, the Barbadian beauty made a stop at one of her favorite restaurants in the area that gives her a little taste of her hometown. Taking to her Twitter page to post a picture of the “Ochi Caribbean” take away restaurant, RiRi left a caption reading, “ #London in da hood at my fav spot.” In career news, we know the Grammy award-winning singer can handle the music business, but it sounds as if acting came as more of a “challenge.” In a recent interview with MTV News, Rihanna dished about her acting debut in “Battleship,” saying, “For me, acting was a whole different world. We make mini-movies with music videos, but there’s always a song track that’s playing, you don’t have to speak, so [with acting] you have to tell that emotion with the tone of your voice, and I have an accent, so I had to change it to a bit of an American accent for this movie, so that was different.” Now that the 24 year-old has some experience in the artistic medium, will she return for another go around? “There’s nothing you can have under your belt with acting, not in my opinion, because I’m not a natural. This isn’t my first [career choice], so I don’t know. I think it’s always going to be a challenge for me, but I like that.” If you want to catch Rihanna in her acting debut, “Battleship” is currently in theaters nationwide!

Rihanna Jets to London, Talks Acting’s "Challenges"
Kaiser’s already covered these photos of Rihanna at the Battleship premiere , but I pulled out some more from the set because of how physically drained Rihanna looks at this event. Sure, her body looks great, but her eyes tell a different story. This premiere took place just a few days after the Met Gala where she wore that fantastic Tom Ford dress and then proceeded to allegedly land herself in the emergency room after partying hard and tweeting that freaky photo of an IV in her arm . This week’s issue of the Enquirer builds upon the events of the past few weeks and also refers to Rihanna’s blunt-filled , alcohol-laden Hawaiian vacation from this past holiday season. The tabloid has also talked to a couple of medical “experts” who have not treated Rihanna for their take on her downward spiral: Rihanna is in a desperate life-or-death battle with liver damage caused by years of boozing and out-of-control partying, sources tell The Enquirer exclusively. The 24-year-old Grammy winner was hospitalized after an early May bender, and her reckless behavior, couple with her grueling work schedule, has friends and experts warning that she’s on a fast track to becoming the next Whtiney Houston. “Rihanna is spiraling out of control and is headed for an early grave,” said one concerned insider. “It never seems to be one beer or one cocktail. Once she gets started, Rihanna pounds drinks all night long, sometimes until the sun comes up. She definitely goes on binges. She’s been a hard drinker since her teens and her friends and family are desperately urging her to get into rehab.” Medical experts say the sexy singer’s drinking habits could be deadly. “Rihanna could be dead tomorrow from liver failure,” Orlando-based, board-certified physicial Dr. Gabe Mirkin told The Enquirer. He noted: “Anybody who drinks alcohol for more than two hours a day, even if it is binge drinking once a week, is looking a premature death. Once the liver is permanently damaged, it’s over.” Dr. Robert Waldman, consultant to the Cliffside Malibu treatment center and a 25-year veteran of addiction medicine, agreed. “The earlier you start to drink, the more the body becomes dependent on alcohol. It can cause deadly cirrhosis of the liver and alcohol poisoning — even at her age.” Rihanna’s world came crashing down earlier this month. She missed an “SNL” final dress rehearsal and needed a shot of penicillin to make it htrough her May 5 performance. And on May 8, she tweeted a picture of her arm hooked up to an intravenous drop, claiming she was suffering from a nasty bout of the flu, a day after attending the Costume Institute Gala in New York. She was reportedly hospitalized for exhaustion and dehydration. Ratcheting up her stress, she’s coming off a grueling tour last year, and she’s been flying all over the world to promote her film Battleship . Rihanna recoverd from her frightening hospitalization to make it to the May 10 L.A. premiere, but then she alarmed onlookers by skipping dinner, opting to chew gum and drink a lime cocktail instead. Two days later, she was seen partying until 4 a.m. in a New York nightclub. Sadly, the entertainer, whose father is a former crack addict, appears to be continuing her nonstop pace — blazing a round-the-world party trail since shse started the year knocking back beers and smoking pot during a Hawaiian vacation. [From Enquirer, print edition, May 28, 2012] Questionable medical ethics (on the part of those two physicians) aside, I agree that Rihanna needs to slow down in several regards. She needs to take it easy professionally and whittle down her schedule a bit, and she needs to stop boozing so hard. Perhaps she truly seeks to ease the pain associated from her past (?) relationship with Chris Brown, but hardcore drinking is (obviously) not the way to accomplish any long-term healing. As Kaiser also mentioned recently, Rihanna strongly identifies as a Pisces , and (speaking as one myself) that astrological sign tends to have their head in the clouds if left unchecked. It’s probably safe to say that Rihanna really has been drowning her stress and sorrows in too much liquor, and I would suspect that a visit to rehab is in the cards. Just for the hell of it, here’s a photo from Rihanna’s twitter that she took of herself and her father. If he’s really a former crack addict, then addiction might very well run in the family.

Rihanna’s hard boozing poses imminent danger to her liver, say sources
Observing the holiday that gives thanks to the women who raised us, Rihanna treated her mom, Monica Braithwaite, to a delectable Mother’s Day dinner on the town in New York City on Sunday evening (May 13). Fresh off of a trip to the tattoo parlor, the 24-year-old donned a navy and white tummy-revealing ensemble while picking up a pretty bouquet of pink flowers to dote unto her mother during the course of their time together. Earlier in the day, Rihanna was her usual busy self on Twitter while sending out a string of well-wishing messages to the moms, single dads and those who are without their moms. First posting a tweet just for her mom, the “We Found Love” hitmaker wrote, “#Mama….u my ride or die b***h for life!!! And yes I know a b***h slap is on the way for my language! But u get it!!!!! I love you” Shooting out the more general words to follow, RiRi exclaimed, “Happy mother’s day to all superwomen out thurr! Every day is your day. And a happy mother’s day to all the dads doin it alone #1LOVE” She then capped of the warm sentiments with, “Sending out special love to those who lost their mothers! *HUGS*” Meanwhile, Rihanna previously spoke with ELLE about her retired accountant mom’s reliable nature, saying, “I still don’t know how she did it. She always protected us—she would never let us know when we had problems, even financially. I still got to go and get a perm every four weeks.”

Rihanna’s Mother’s Day Love
Yesterday, Bedhead, CB and I were talking about our horoscope signs and I found out that I, an anal retentive, logical, anti-drama Virgo, am currently working with two Pisces. I don’t want to ascribe any negative traits to Pisces girls, so I’ll just repeat the essence of what Bedhead said: Pisces are drama queens. And that includes Rihanna, who has been tweeting lots of crazy stuff about her Pisces sign and how she’s “submissive” and all of that. As Bedhead discussed yesterday, Rihanna has been partying HARD lately. She’s always been a fun, crazy party girl, but it’s gotten a bit excessive lately. Star Magazine has Rihanna’s hard partying on their cover this week too. So, here’s the question: why does it seem like Rihanna has gone off the rails recently? Is it about Chris Brown? The answer: probably. After c ollaborating with Chris on two songs a few months ago and refusing to explain her continuing relationship with Chris in interviews, it now seems like Rihanna and Chris may have had a falling out. Rihanna has just “unfollowed” Chris on Twitter! It seems Rihanna has finally had enough of Chris Brown … the singer has “unfollowed” her ex-boyfriend on Twitter after he released a new diss track that appears to be aimed at her. The song in question is a remix of Kanye’s TheraFlu — in which Brown freestyles the verse, “Don’t f*ck with my old bitches … like a bad fur … every industry n*gga done had her.” He continues, “Trick or treat like a pumpkin … just to smash her.” Hours after Brown released the track last night, Rihanna stopped following Brown on Twitter — a HUGE move — and one that’s leading many to assume Rihanna believes the verse is about her. A short time later, Brown unfollowed Rihanna. We reached out to Rihanna’s rep — so far, no comment. [ From TMZ ] Those lyrics are awful and disgusting. Hopefully every one of his followers “unfollow” him, but of course they won’t. Because Chris’s supporters are absolutely the stupidest people ever . I do suspect that those lyrics were the straw that broke the camel’s back for Rihanna, although I also think she was probably pretty primed to have a falling out with Chris before that. Chris recently got a tattoo of his girlfriend’s face – Karrueche Tran’s face. Rihanna has been taunting Karrueche on Twitter for a while , and I kind of believe that Rihanna thought Chris preferred her over Karrueche, and the tattoo “proves” that he doesn’t. And I can’t believe it’s even gotten this f–king far, really. Like, I can’t believe we’re still talking about Chris Brown and Rihanna in the same story. These two people should have had nothing to do with each other since March 2009. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Oh no! RiRi needed an IV! Rihanna was recently hospitalized, and tweeted this picture of her armed hooked up to an IV drip.

Thankfully after this doctor’s visit Rihanna was reportedly discharged and allowed to fly back to her Los Angeles home. This IV incident comes just days after the singer pulled out of a Saturday Night Live rehearsal due to tiredness. We hope that RiRi finds some much needed rest and relaxation.
