Rihanna is back in the studio while the storm of her life is going on. Apparently she's making music her refuge. HipHollywood.com caught up with her producer Adonis yesterday and he dished everything that they've been going through these past couple weeks. Rih's new album will be the same "bad girl" pop theme as before. But Adonis says she's doing just fine for the most part and she's "just a kid".

Hornets baller Chris Paul hosted his Jordan Brand CP3.II Shoe Launch at Republic in New Orleans yesterday. And Mr. Cuteness Chris himself was there with his celeb friends like MC Lyte. Ray-J came through too. More pics and the Obama girls' playdate when you read the rest...

Deshawn Snow's replacement on "Real Housewives of ATL" has been named. And it's Kandi Burruss, formerly of Xscape. She's now a songwriter (and has written for Destiny's Child and others) and is married to was previously linked to Kevin She'kspere Briggs who produced "No Scrubs".

This ish is a mess. "ATL Housewife" Sheree Whitfield has once again proven her brokeness...and wackness.

So a blog just went up on Chris Brown's official myspace page campaigning for votes for the Kids' Choice Awards. Yes, we're serious. To his defense, he likely doesn't run his own official site. But yet and still, this ish just seems inappropriate right now. Conviction or no conviction. JMO.... In other Chrihannagate news, sources are saying Rihanna actually received abuse counseling shortly after the incident on Feb.

Solange and Estelle performed in San Francisco last night: Very interesting look for Solo. I feel like I've seen this look on Estelle already. And KeKe Palmer hit up a celebrity bowling tournament looking cute. More pics of these chicks when you read the rest...
