Rihanna has canceled her upcoming performance in Malaysia due to "recent circumstances" her reps say. Just a couple months ago, Rihanna and her people were negotiating with the Malaysian government about her costumes. Women in the country are not allowed to show much skin, especially not in as sexy of outfits as Rih likes to rock on stage. It looked like they had finally come to a compromise, and now Rihanna won't be attending at all.

YBF chicks hit the red carpet all over last night: Raven made it known she's anti-paparazzi, Thandie Newton had some fun, and KeKe Palmer worked it out at an event. More pics of these ladies and others when you read the rest...

Tyra Banks was spotted trying to look incognegro at LAX the other day: Girl we know that barbie doll wig from a mile away with cataracts.

Rihanna's Grandmother has told the Barbados newspaper (Rihanna's hometown) that her granddaughter is well and does not have a broken nose like previously reported:

"I don't want people to worry. Rihanna is fine and she is doing well."

Rihanna sent a message to her family back home via her close friend letting them know she is ok.   As for the exact charges against Chris Brown in reference to Rihanna, Police Sergeant Bridget Pickett says:

"The exact charge was criminal threats and it is going to be investigated as a criminal threats investigation.  There may be domestic violence charges added later, but that will be up to the district attorney's office."

Interesting. What T.I. had to say about the situation when you read the rest...

So, extra late last night around 1a EST my e-mail and phone start to blow up. I honestly thought it was a joke people telling me Chris Brown was involved in a low-speed car chase in a white Bentley on the 101 Freeway in L.A. But apparently the girlfriend of the driver called in to the cops that her boyfriend had just been charged with felony criminal threats and he's threatening suicide and was clearly dangerous.

Well this music leak has some interesting timing. We were just sent this brand new song off one of Mario's upcoming projects, and it's featuring Rihanna. It's interestingly called "Emergency Room". [audio removed]
Check it. So...

DO WE LOVE IT?!

Halle Berry is covering ESSENCE magazine for the 7th time in the upcoming March issue and looking fabulous while doing so: On dating a White man: "I tried Black men. I tried," she wails in a mock southern accent. "I married two Black men. You know I tried." She laughs again before making clear that "I don't hold all Black males responsible because of the two bad eggs I got.
