Rihanna’s Sexual black and white Esquire spread

May 17th, 2012 | By love not hate

She’s certainly no stranger to showing some skin in various sexy shoots.

And it looks as though Rihanna’s upcoming spread in Britain’s Esquire magazine is no different.

In a sneak peek of the shoot, due to hit newstands on June 4th, Rihanna is seen looking both sexy and sultry as she goes topless.

Sexy and sultry: Rihanna is seen going topless in the hotly-anticipated shoot for Britain’s Esquire magazine

Protecting her modesty by wrapping one arm around her chest, the singer wears just a pair of jeans and a fez hat in the shots, taken by Melissa Forde when the singer was in the UK in February.

In another shot, Rihanna wears a sexy bondage-style all-in-one, flicking her blonde hair as she shows off her curves.

And it seems as though the We Found Love singer had a good time on the east London set of the shoot, as she is seen giggling and laughing while wrapped up in a patterned top in between takes.

Nice hat! Rihanna wears just a fez hat and some low-slung jeans as he posed up for Melissa Forde

The stunning photographs of Rihanna, taken from the upcoming July edition of the magazine, come as the singer has been linked to New York Knicks star J.R. Smith, after the pair were apparently spotting kissing at Veranda nightclub in New York earlier this month.

A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: ‘They were very flirty in the club all night and holding hands. She was sitting on his lap and was really into him.’

Having fun? The singer certainly appeared to be having a good time in between takes on the shoot

The sportsman is a controversial figure, as in March he was fined $25,000 by the National Basketball Association (NBA) after tweeting a photo wearing just a thong in his bed.

A source said: ‘He is the team’s most controversial player, so it’s no wonder that Rihanna likes him.’

Beyonce Spends First Mother’s Day With Blue Ivy, Tina Knowles

A few weeks ago Beyonce used her newly relaunched website to pen a heartfelt note to First Lady Michelle Obama, and for Mother’s Day Bey couldn’t pass up the chance to dedicate a handwritten piece to her favorite woman, Tina Knowles. Bey will be spending her first mother’s day with her mom, plus new daughter Blue Ivy and more than likely her sister Solange.

“Everything I am is because of you!” the note reads. “You are the first voice that ever sang to me. At every turn you push me to be better. You teach me to be true to myself and the ones I love. When I look into your eyes, I am sooo proud. Now that I’m a mother, I truly realize all the sacrifices you made for us. My love for you goes beyond what I can say. Happy Happy Mamas Day.

Love, Beyonce.

*Note: King B can’t help but write all of her “B” in capital letters.

Last week Tina Knowles told US Weekly that the gang would be hanging together to celebrate the occasion. “[We're] all going to be together,” Knowles said. “We’re excited because it’s Beyonce’s first Mother’s Day. I’m hoping to cook! I want to cook. My traditional soul food and maybe gumbo. That’s my favorite dish!”

Trey songz Will Smith and Duane Martin love affair

May 10th, 2012 | By love not hate

Tongues are wagging that Will is enjoying a “bromance” with R&B  artist Trey Songz, who’s been the subject of gay whispers himself. On Aug. 18,  the “Men on Black” star sat at a VIP table with Trey during an event at The  Setai’s penthouse in Miami’s trendy South Beach — and the two reportedly hooked  up again the following evening to enjoy dinner and the local nightlife. For  years, Internet bloggers have claimed that Trey had numerous gay relationships  with men in the music industry. The 26-year-old Grammy-nominated artist, best  known for his album “Ready”, had repeatedly denied that he is gay, insisting on  an interview: “I love the ladies.” Troy Taylor, a record company exec and mentor  to the singer told The Enquirer: “I  know that Trey and Will have been friends for a very long time, but I can’t  speak to the nature of their relationship. It’s none of my business.” ….[A  friend of Will adds:] Will stood by Trey’s side and watched helplessly as his  good friend has been the target of false gay rumors. Now that the shoe is on the  other foot, Will has turned to Trey for advice on how to deal with it. Trey told  Will to just be true to who he is — no matter what this is — and he assured  Will the rumors will ultimately pass.”

We wonder how Duane Martin feels about this. But we  digress. Those  gay rumors that have followed Will have not passed. In fact, they’ve gained  more traction since Will’s 13-year alleged “marriage of convenience” to Jada  Pinkett Smith is  on the verge of collapse after he reportedly caught her boning singer Marc  Anthony.

Wayne Gretzky’s daughter raunchy weekend

May 1st, 2012 | By love not hate

She’s the daughter of ice hockey treasure Wayne Gretzky.

But Paulina Gretzky, 23, is challenging the wholesome image of her family once again.

The aspiring actress and singer, who is said to have disabled her Twitter account at the urging of her dad last year, has posted a series graphic photos of herself online after enjoying a booze-fuelled weekend with friends.

Lounging: The high spirited blonde kicked back with pals and rolled down her shorts to reveal her bikini bottoms

Paulina’s Instagram gallery features several racy images of the high-spirited blonde, Gretzky’s daughter with actress Janet Jones.

A series of photos shows her posing suggestively in a bikini, sipping drinkings and swinging champagne glasses.

Those images are tame, however, compared to others showing Paulina lounging on her male friends’ laps, her shorts rolled up to reveal a pair of skimpy bottoms; others show her straddling a female friend and opening her legs in front of the camera.

RadarOnlinereports the images were taken during a hard-partying weekend in Las Vegas.

Champagne anyone? Paulina Gretzky poses up with a topless man clutching a glass of what looks like champagne

Racy: Paulina Gretzky, 23, posted a series of graphic photos of herself on Instagram after a booze-fuelled weekend with friends

It is not the first time Paulina has been caught in a photo scandal.

Last month, she left West Hollywood restaurant STK wearing an outfit that can only be classified as lingerie.

Stepping out in a low-cut black bodice with stockings and suspenders, Paulina turned heads in her racy ensemble as she walked with a group of demurely-dressed friends.

The blonde became an internet pin-up last year with an almost constant stream of photographs of herself wearing flesh-baring outfits during nights out with friends to her Twitter account.

Having some fun: Paulina poses with a male friend in another snap

But for her 24,000 Twitter followers, the amusement was short-lived, as she closed down the account and suggested ‘The Great One’ was behind the move.

Paulina, the eldest of five children, tweeted: ‘Having a nice sit down dinner with my dad about social media..haha’ before the page closed down. But she was unable to keep away for long.

‘Hi everyone I’m back!’ she posted just days later, after fans berated the ice hockey player for stepping in. ‘But shh don’t tell my dad,’ she added.

For a short while, she was better-behaved, gathering nearly 100,000 followers while continuing to post pictures of tamer night out.

She’s back! The singer and model has gathered more than 100,000 followers since returning to Twitter

Not so tweet: Her hockey legend father reportedly asked Paulina to remove her Twitter account in December as she had posted a steady stream of raunchy photographs

Suggestive: The photographs showed the aspiring actress wearing low-cut tops, underwear or swimsuits

But the exposure can’t have been bad for the aspiring actress, who has appeared in small roles in three films – the latest being last year’s Guns, Girls and Gambling, starring Gary Oldman.

She also recorded a song that played on MTV’s show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, and modelled on the front page of Flare magazine in 2008.

Her father, 51, is one of the most famous Canadians of all time, having led the Edmonton Oilers to prodigious to four Stanley Cups and earning the National Hockey League’s MVP title nine times before his retirement in 1999.

It was suggested that his involvement in his daughter’s tweeting habits may have been a carefully judged play of personal brand management.

The New York Daily News had speculated that it may be linked to rumours – denied by Wayne’s agent – that an American group may be interested in buying the Toronto Maple Leafs ice hockey team.

Tupac take coachella stage

April 16th, 2012 | By love not hate

Tupac

INDIO, California — Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg wowed Coachella’s final night Sunday with a roster of guests way beyond what even the rumors could have predicted. Backed by a live band and unexpectedly artsy video screens, no less than Eminem, 50 Cent, Warren G and a hologram of Tupac graced the stage.

As if that wasn’t enough, Wiz Khalifa also joined the West Coast hip-hop legends for the anthem of the weekend, “Young, Wild and Free,” which had the crowd singing the chorus in unison: “So what we get drunk/ So what we smoke weed/ We’re just having fun/ We don’t care who sees/ So what we go out/ That’s how it’s supposed to be/ Living young and wild and free.”

Kendrick Lamar — who performed an afternoon set on the main stage Friday — also joined the pair for “The Recipe,” his new joint featuring Dre, who introduced him as “straight outta Compton.”

After their own “The Next Episode” and “Deep Cover (187 on an Undercover Cop),” Dre and Snoop covered House of Pain’s “Jump Around.” The hardest moment of the night came when 50 Cent stormed the stage for “What Up Gangsta” with Tony Yayo by his side, segueing into “P.I.M.P.” with tropical calypso steel drums and his 2003 breakthrough hit, “In Da Club.”

Snoop paid homage to his late homey Nate Dogg, performing “Ain’t No Fun” alongside Kurupt and Warren G as the screens displayed photos of Nate, Snoop and the rest of the Dogg Pound.

The appearance of the late Tupac in very realistic hologram form, which was amazing to some and creepy to others, brought “Hail Mary” and “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.”

Eminem even came out for “I Need a Doctor,” a dubstep-flavored “Forgot About Dre” and “Till I Collapse.”

Capping their historic set with “What’s My Name?” and “Still D.R.E.,” Dre and Snoop disappeared below the stage with the Good Doctor proclaiming to the adoring audience, “I wanna say thank you for the love for so many years.”

Sunday’s surprise guests didn’t stop there though, as Rihanna joined Calvin Harris for her latest single, “Where Have You Been,” and “We Found Love,” and Rage Against the Machine spitter Zack de la Rocha lent his lyrics to DJ Shadow.

Earlier in the night, the main stage was handled by French electronic duo Justice and the much-anticipated At the Drive-In reunion. The influential post-hardcore band had heads banging to “Pattern Against User,” “Lopsided,” “Enfilade” and slowed it down a bit with the melodic “Napoleon Solo.”

Elsewhere, the Sahara dance tent hosted Avicii, the Weeknd grooved a huge crowd at the Outdoor Stage as he sang the sun down with his soulful jams, and Florence and the Machine had the ladies lifted with the frontwoman’s request that the “strong gentleman in the house” offer their shoulders for “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up).”

In response to last year’s event selling out — a week after the 2011 lineup was announced — the festival is experimenting with featuring the same artists for two consecutive three-day weekends: April 13-15 and April 20-22.

At Coachella’s uncharacteristically cold and glooming first day Friday, the Black Keys and Swedish House Mafia kept fans warm. Saturday brought Radiohead, Bon Iver and David Guetta with Usher.
