Chris Brown is quickly building up his defense. The D.A. hasn’t yet filled charges since the case is currently under investigation but Chris already has a trick up his sleeve – he is going to plea self-defense and say Rihanna attacked him first.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: “Chris is already building his case. He’s saying she threw a phone at him, then hit him in the head and basically just lost it. He’s saying she attacked him.”

It’s difficult to believe Chris’ accusations when we have seen Rihanna’s horrific injuries and not even a scratch on him. You would think a cell phone would leave some kind of mark, if it did hit him at all… no matter what Rihanna did, what he did to her face is inexcusable!

Rihanna was seen celebrating her 21st birthday in Mexico last week (photos here>>). Sources report she is embarrassed about being exposed like this.

A source said: “She’s devastated all this has become so public. She’s just angry and extremely humiliated that the whole world knows how much pain she’s in right now. She’s told her team to do what they need to do. She just wants them to handle things for her.”

Latest news is that Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together and trying to make it work again. I cannot believe Rihanna would fall for that trap but love is blind. Truly hope it’s not true or Chris might get away with just a slap on the wrist.

Oh, these two are just getting kinky and kinkier and as long as it remains legal we don’t see a problem with that. Miley Cyrus apparently hasn’t earned enough money with the Hannah Montana franchise to afford an appropriate nun shirt for her and a tank top for her underwear model boyfriend Justin Gaston.

Miley and Justin were seen out running at Toluca Lake in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles earlier today (Feb 28). The couple was happily doing their workout completely not caring about who saw and what they could have seen.

We got an eyeful of Miley’s green bra (or is it a bikini??)… hum, this reminds me of something… and Justin’s shirtless hot body! Not bad for a 20 year-old, if I was sixteen I would be freaking screaming at such sight. I’m too old for that now and I prefer men of course!

Clint Eastwood has always told it how it is or at least what is on his mind.  ‘Dirty Harry’ continues to keep doing just that.  Eastwood believes we have all become too politically correct and frankly he doesn’t think that is a good thing at all.

“People have lost their sense of humour. In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

“I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a ‘Sam the Jew’ or ‘Jose the Mexican’ - but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was just normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem. I don’t want to be politically correct.

We’re all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything,” he added.

Clint shouldn’t look for things to change as long as Al Sharpton and the PC police are in business, and let’s be honest, that is the only reason we even know the name of Rev. Sharpton.

For the most part I agree with Clint.  For a couple of centuries certain language and hatred was taken too far, but now we seem to have vastly over corrected in steering the PC ship way too far to the right.

… just like nothing happened! It’s really hard for me to believe Rihanna really went back to Chris Brown after what he allegedly did to her face (photo here>>). According to People, Rihanna and Chris are spending some private “alone” time at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s homes. WHAT?? Of course, Diddy had to be involved in this mess!

“They’re together again. They care for each other,” says the source. “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

I understand love can totally blind you and make you not see the real monster behind face you learned to care for. But Chris has actually tried to kill her and left her unconscious in a car alone… she could have died! He could have killed her. No matter how much Rihanna loves Chris, some people are just not meant to be. A separation that might hurt Rihanna right now might save her life in the future!

This is a really bad example, especially since it’s such a hyped public domestic violence case. It sends the wrong message to women who are currently in an abusive relationship.

Apparently Chris called Rihanna to wish her a happy 21st birthday and things have naturally unfolded ever since. “He called to wish her happy birthday,” a source told the magazine. “They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.”

Rihanna, get away while you can! An abuser will always be exactly what he is, you can’t change someone no matter how much you love them. Actually, Chris might be playing a sick move: the case hasn’t been presented to the D.A. yet and Chris might be trying to get away from possible charges since Rihanna’s testimony will be crucial.

Actress Sienna Miller might have a lot of flaws but she is now embracing them and that includes accepting she is getting older, wiser (more wrinkled too!) and won’t do Botox… at least for now!

Sienna says: “Recently I found myself thinking, ‘I’m getting wrinkles and things are wobbling - I should go to the gym’. Then I was like, ‘f*ck it’. It’s not where the focus should be right now. LA is a nightmare for that. Young girls in Hollywood are having preemptive Botox. I say, let people be young and then be old. I can’t wait to be seen as a woman.”

Beautiful Sienna is only 27 years old, she shouldn’t be thinking about Botox! But she is old enough for people to see her as a woman. Heck, Sienna is old enough to be playing with a married (possibly not married anymore!) guy! We know she is a woman, we actually saw Alfie too!!

Actress Drew Barrymore met John Mayer and gives good advice to fellow “He’s Just Not Into You” co-star Jennifer Aniston, she says: “Dump Him”. Apparently Drew thinks John is only using Jen to boost his career (I’m not exactly sure about who needs that boost now!).

“Drew told Jen she could do way better and she’d be a fool to settle for him,” a close pal told The Enquirer.

“The first time Jen introduced twice-divorced Drew to John, they clashed,” added the source. They bickered for so long that Jen had to step in and change the subject.”

“And even though Jen is crazy in love with John, I think a part of her is worried that Drew may be right.”

John is best known for being afraid of commitment (I can totally relate to that!) and not talking about important issues like marriage and kids. In Jennifer’s case, it’s a big problem when you don’t wanna talk about it – she is 40 years old! Jennifer is a sexy hot 40 year-old but the biological clock is ticking, she can’t wait much longer.

Drew, the dating counselor, gives us all girls a good tip on how to handle our relationships: “Don’t coddle your friends, help them grow. Stop repeating those bad patterns. If he doesn’t make you feel good, get out!” AMEN!

Miley Cyrus took her super hot underwear-model boyfriend, Justin Gaston, to a special dinner date – only Miley, Justin and the paps - at the Mo’s restaurant in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles.

Everything I said about their age difference, I take it back. Justin does not behave like a regular 20 year-old, who cannot stand teenage girls, because he truly seems to be having a good time with Miley. Just giggling, no touchy feely… totally appropriate! And if even Miley’s family approve, why shouldn’t we? They make such a cute country couple!

Rihanna looks sad and lonely soaking up the sun in Punta Mita (Mexico), where she stayed with close friends to celebrate her 21st birthday last weekend. The “horrific” injuries (photo here>>) seem to have faded but the pain is more than skin deep.

It’s going to take awhile for Rihanna to recover from the tragic night when her boyfriend Chris Brown allegedly beat her and threatened to kill her. Let’s hope justice can somehow make it easier for her. Chris is reportedly taking anger management classes in an attempt to clean up his public image.

Crossing Over - (R) The US offers hope–but that often comes at a price. Many can earn citizenship legally through a lengthy bureaucratic process, but others find themselves out of luck in a country where virtually anything can be bought. Sex, violence and betrayal become their currency. Some wait in line for permission to enter the U.S. while others take matters into their own hands. Working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles, Max Brogan is an agent sworn to protect our borders, he deals with the thousands that try to cross over into the US in search of a better life. The lives of Brogan, his ICE partner, Hamid, immigration defense attorney, Baraheri Denise Frankel, and her husband, Cole Frankel, intersect, by necessity, accident or fate, with Mexican factory worker Mireya Sanchez; Hamid Baraheri’s sister Zahra; young Bangladeshi Taslima Jahangir; British musician Gavin Kossef; Australian actress Claire Shepard; and Korean teen Yong Kim. Each has a different struggle: a single mother deported without her child; a high school girl whose provocative essay draws FBI attention; an actress who willingly prostitutes herself to earn her green card; a struggling musician trying to build a career while working his day job; and finally, a Korean teen caught between two worlds, while his family is desperate to naturalize.

The New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, and Victoria’s Secret Angel, Gisele Bundchen, have tied the knot in a “secret” ceremony at the St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California yesterday (Feb 26). The ceremony was small and intimate - only close family members including Tom’s son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, according to US Magazine.

The bride, 28, donned a form-fitting ivory lace strapless gown with a trumpet skirt, scalloped edges, long train and a floor-length veil with attached handmade satin roses and attached satin headband, all by Dolce & Gabbana. Her three dogs also wore matching Dolce & Gabbana floral lace collars.

Tom and Gisele have been dating since 2006. Rumors of their engagement started last year but Gisele had recently denied it. Sources revealed the two are pretty much in love and marriage was the next natural step for the lovebirds.

A pal close to the couple told Us Bundchen and Brady are perfect together.

“She’s definitely ‘The One,’” the source said. “She really makes him comfortable and just happy.”

Congratulations to the newlyweds! Another Angel lost her wings yesterday. The next will be Miranda Kerr!

Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson attended the French premiere of their latest movie “Marley & Me” at the Bristol Hotel in Paris. Jen and Owen make such a cute couple on screen while off screen they look like they are actually good friends. Not easy to get along with a co-star. Just ask Kate Hudson.

Speaking of Kate Hudson, it seems like Owen is giving her another chance since the two were seen enjoying some super intimate time together in France prior to this premiere.

“They were like any normal young couple,” one staffer tells PEOPLE. “She held his hand and they were very nice, no pretensions.”

Following a one hour-plus lunch, the pair drove over for a lengthy walk around the shops and galleries lining the 18th century port of Honfleur befor returning to Trouville for dinner at L’Inattendu, a small French backstreet restaurant.

“They were very comfortable with each other,’ says a diner who recognized Owen under his black ball cap when the couple arrived around nine. “There was lots of talking going on between them, laughter.”

We wonder why Kate just didn’t escort him to the red carpet and let Jennifer do it instead. They are probably trying to keep things quiet… unfortunately we don’t see a future to this relationship! It’s like Owen is Kate’s rebound guy, he sure needs to break free and find the real love of his life!

Actress Rosario Dawson, who once wanted to become a marine biologist, confessed her mother Celeste had some odd discipline methods. For example to get her daughter’s attention or punish her, mommy would lick her.

Rosario says: My mom licked me - that was her punishment. If I was a little uppity or if I didn’t listen or if she wanted to get my attention, she’d lick the side of my face or under my armpit. My mom’s a six-foot-tall amazon and she’d say, ‘You came out of my vagina and I own every part of you,’ and she’d lick me like I was her wee pup and she was a lioness. It was humiliating and really intense. Very primal. It’s not spanking, but it definitely works.

As weird and creative as this may sound I do not make this stuff up! I can’t see how a lick is considered a form of punishment but when it comes to your mother it can be pretty embarrassing, especially if performed in public.

Just imagine the kind of psychological trauma it can cause a young girl. I would definitely never see a lick the same way again. But it would have been a great idea to keep me on a leash through my wild years… thank God my mom isn’t as resourceful as Rosario’s.

Singer/songwriter Katy Perry is back and looking fabulous after giving one amazing performance at the 2009 Grammy Awards and wining a 2009 Brit Award for Best International Female.

The singer’s irreverent style is a trademark! Katy showed up in a very questionable dress with big Smiley’s and made the crowd go insane when she performed her hit single “I Kissed a Girl” at Manchester Academy 1 on her UK Tour. I don’t know about the Smiley dress but I kind of liked it… still doesn’t match her melons and bananas outfit!

A.R. Rahman’s song ‘Jai Ho’ from the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack won an Oscar at the 81st Academy Awards and is one of the most downloaded songs on iTunes at the moment.  The song’s infectious beat makes even the stiffest Southern Baptist want to get up and grind against a wall or co-worker, but what do those Hindu lyrics really mean?

Well the song is very sexual and probably a lot dirtier than you would think based on the beautiful sounding Hindu lyrics. Here is a rough English translation of a couple of lines (full song lyrics at bottom of post):

“Taste it, taste it, this night is honey

Taste it, and keep it”

“Come, come my Life, under the canopy

Come under the blue brocade sky!”

For many years I found the following quoted line from Marvin Gaye’s 1982 hit ‘Sexual Healing’ to be one of the dirtiest lines in a hit song, especially considering the era in which it was released, and before the onset of gangsta rap.  It’s the very last line of ‘Sexual Healing’ that is almost never heard because radio stations fade it out, censor it, or talk over it either intentionally or unintentionally.  If you have the original recording and listen closely to the last line you can hear it.

If you aren’t near a turn table this is what Marvin softly pleas to the women out there to conclude the song:

“Please Don’t Procrastinate - It’s Not Good to Masturbate.”

Rough translations, especially from Hindu to English, should be taken with a grain of salt.  Often when English is translated into other languages the end result is unintentionally funny (or disgusting). It works in reverse much the same way as some words don’t have an equivalent in another language.

Here are a few examples of translations gone wrong:

• Coors put its slogan, “Turn it loose,” into Spanish, where it was read as “Suffer from diarrhoea”.
• Clairol introduced the “Mist Stick”, a curling iron, into German only to find out that “mist” is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the “manure stick”.
• In Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan “finger-lickin’ good” came out as ” eat your fingers off”.
• When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the beautiful Caucasian baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what’s inside, since most people can’t read English.

When I hear of ‘Jai Ho’ I think of it being Chris Brown’s nickname at the state penitentiary when he bends over for the soap in the shower….JAI HO!!!!!

‘Jai Ho’ actually translates to something like either hallelujah or hail.

Lyrics to Both Versions of ‘Jai Ho’

Apparently a couple of days before Chris Brown beat her up, Rihanna paid a visit to an ob-gyn at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center because she suspected she might be pregnant with Chris’ baby. Sources say Chris and Rihanna’s relationship was on the rocks and she was scared he would be upset and dump her with the news.

Wearing sunglasses and dressed in all black, she appeared nervous and upset. “She was extremely fidgety. She seemed totally uncomfortable,” an eyewitness at the doctor’s office tells Star.

“She was scared he would react badly,” says an insider.

Did Rihanna tell Chris?? Can this possible pregnancy be the reason for Chris to lose control like that?? If it has anything to do with it, Chris really behaved like a coward. Violence is never the answer to any of your problems. And we wish Rihanna the best! Hang in there, girl!

Actress Mischa Barton graces the cover of the latest issue of FHM Magazine (April 2009) and addressed the rumors about her sudden weight loss, which is one of the reasons she doesn’t read gossip blogs.

Mischa’s sexy poses are kind of forced but she does look amazing. She sure looks a lot better in her lingerie than with her clothes on – Mischa usually lacks the fashion sagacity skills. Here are some highlights from Mischa Barton’s FHM Magazine interview:

On her weight: I still love my pilates and yoga, and have cut back on fatty foods a bit. My time in India and Paris really just helped me lose a little bit of weight but there’s nothing drastic going on! I appreciate the concern, I just wish the press wouldn’t harbor on it as I think it’s very unhealthy for young girls to read about and pay attention to. To my female fans: Just be happy and secure with yourself and don’t let other people’s perceptions of you dictate the way you live your life.

On why she doesn’t read gossip blogs: Nearly everything that appears about me on the web is untrue. It really is. But they continue to write it because they know that I’m not going to spend money hiring a lawyer and then suing them. So instead I’ve learnt to take it in my stride, get on with my life and let all that stuff slide off my back.

Actor Joaquin Phoenix has been trying to fool us all with his temper tantrums, erratic and bizarre behavior after he announced to be retiring from his acting career to pursue a rapper career. The truth is Joaquin is carefully planning all this to sell it as a documentary. Cha-Ching! Smart. Genius!

“Joaquin wanted this, of course he knew (about the parodies) because it’s all part of a very strategic plan,” said our inside source. “He is selling it all as a documentary not about his musical career but the whole issue of public persona. It’s all a big joke and he’s not pursuing rapping seriously no matter what he says.”

Everything from his retiring act to his insane appearance on David Letterman is just another way to have people talking about him and more importantly making fun of him. Even Ben Stiller’s amazing performance at the Oscars was just another part of Joaquin’s plot.

“Ben (Stiller) was just going along with the joke that Joaquin started,” added our insider. “He wasn’t poking fun at him, there are no hard feelings.”

Do you believe this is all a big joke, probably the biggest stunt in Hollywood history or are you seriously concerned about Joaquin Phoenix’s mental health??

Actresses Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Aniston are involved in the most insane petty celebrity battle of the decade. Anne, who is a funny girl (we love her! God bless her!), told in an interview before the Oscars she made bad choices when it comes to men and vowed to go solo or take her dad as her date to the 81st Annual Academy Awards. As an after-thought she added “I’m like Jennifer Aniston. I pick the wrong guys.”

Jennifer apparently has no sense of humor and retorted “Say what you like…I’ve never dated con men or criminals!” Touché! Jennifer doesn’t need to defend herself against this kind of comment and the fact she did just gives makes it more relevant.

Sighed a mutual pal/tattle-tale: “Jen’s feeling her age, and doesn’t need some 20-something actress yanking her chain. She’s a bad enemy to make, but that’s typical Anne – she puts her foot in her mouth all the time.”

I don’t think Anne put her foot in her mouth! She was just being funny. Of course when you have a glass house you should never throw stones to the other side as they might rebound. Let’s hope this “fight” ends here!
