			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href='http://str8nyc.com/2009/11/19/rihanna-goes-diva-mode-on-driver-misses-chris-brown/' class='retweet vert'  target= >RIHANNA GOES DIVA MODE ON DRIVER + MISSES CHRIS BROWN&#8230;</a><p align="center">Word is Rihanna is becoming quite a diva&#8230;especially when it involves her having to wait! The Bajan beauty has been in London promoting her new album, <em><strong>Rated R</strong></em> and apparently went straight into b*tch mode when her driver picked her up three minutes late. A snitch reveals,</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“She was with a massive entourage and one was on the phone to the driver, asking where he was. Suddenly Rihanna started shouting in the face of this guy, saying: ‘Where the f*** is my car?’ After another minute, she squawked, ‘I mean it guys, you’ve now got 30 seconds to get me my car or someone is losing their employment. I f***ing mean it, 10 seconds and I get nasty’.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">According to the snitch, the driver arrived a few minutes later and was so shook that his ass almost drove the wrong way down the street.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In related news, in a recent interview with ATL&#8217;s The Bert Show on Q100 Rihanna admitted that despite her beatdown drama with ex-boo Chris Brown, she does miss him at times and still listens to his music.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When asked if she misses Chris Brown:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Um&#8230;sometimes. Actually yes! Uh..there are a lot of reminders. Like a lot of hotel rooms, like places that we&#8217;ve been to together. Um&#8230;music, there are different things that come up that are just reminders of your ex. I&#8217;m sure you know what that feels like.&#8221;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">When asked if she listens to Chris&#8217; music:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;When it comes on on the radio, I don&#8217;t snob or turn it off. I just listen. You know? I like his music. She adds, &#8220;I&#8217;ve gotten over it. Um&#8230;but there&#8217;s definitely constant reminders. And a lot of it listening to the radio and the songs coming on. Songs that were our favorite songs are his songs.&#8221;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://str8nyc.com/2009/11/18/rihannas-new-man-lives-in-90210/">Yesterday, we reported that Rihanna and 90210 actor Tristan Wilds are supposedly seeing each other after being spotted getting cozy at her house party this past weekend.</a><em> </em>According to Rihanna, it&#8217;s just a rumor and nothing more. She laughed off the false story&#8211;claiming she doesn&#8217;t even have his number.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href='http://str8nyc.com/2009/11/15/chris-brown-crawl-aint-only-about-rihanna-x-sing-like-me/' class='retweet vert'  target= >CHRIS BROWN: &#8220;CRAWL AIN&#8217;T ONLY ABOUT RIHANNA&#8230;&#8221; x NEW TRACK &#8220;SING LIKE ME&#8221;</a><p style="text-align: center;">Last Friday, Ike Jr. aka Chris Brown debuted the video for his new single <em>“Crawl”</em> on “The Wendy Williams Show” which features the oh so talentless Cassie as his leading lady. Now, one would think the lyrics suggest he&#8217;s actually singing about getting back with Rihanna, however Chris explains to <em>MTV</em> that &#8220;Crawl&#8221; really isn’t only about her&#8211;it&#8217;s message is basically about moving on.  He says,</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;When I heard the whole concept and everything I was like, &#8216;Yo, this is crazy,&#8217; &#8221; Brown said about the track. &#8220;So being able to express the feelings, it was like, probably one of the best [records I've done.] But it was more than me trying to do a record that meant crawl to love, crawl back to love. Meaning whether it&#8217;s from your negative situations, whether it&#8217;s from any problems you&#8217;ve dealt with, like anybody&#8217;s situation. Mine being my personal situation with shorty, but for anybody, for being inspired as far it being the war or a death in the family, whether it&#8217;s anything, anybody just crawl back to love. &#8216;Cause love conquers everything. Love, at the end of the day, makes everybody happy.&#8221;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">If you can&#8217;t get enough of Chris, listen to his third single <em>&#8220;Sing Like Me&#8221;</em> which is &#8220;dedicated to the ladies&#8221;<em>.<br />
</em></p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;All this bottle poppin&#8217; got me feeling nicely/Leaving by myself feels highly unlikely/Lookin&#8217; for a right now dont need no wifey/Settling down one chick that ain&#8217;t even like me/When I get them off to the room/We aint playing by no rules and girls singing melodies/And it sounding like ya favorite song playing on the radio and can&#8217;t get enough of me/ Got a girl singing like me&#8221;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Sing Like Me</em>&#8221; is such a far cry from him begging Rihanna to take his ass back<em> </em>on<em> &#8220;Crawl&#8221;.</em> But, I can&#8217;t even front, the track is hot and unfortunately the hook is really catchy.</p>

The Bajan beauty is set to premiere the video for her single <em>&#8220;Russian Roulette&#8221; </em>off her new album <em><strong>Rated R</strong></em> on Friday on ABC. Ironically, Chris Brown will premiere his new video <em>&#8220;Crawl&#8221;</em> off his upcoming album <em><strong>Graffiti </strong></em>during his appearance on &#8220;The Wendy Williams Show&#8221;. I highly doubt this is all just a mere coincidence, if ya ask me this  has PR stunt written all over! I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if these two are actually still seeing each other and cooked up a scheme to sell records.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Check out pics of Rihanna&#8217;s promo shoot at <em>MTV </em>Studios yesterday.</p>

<blockquote>“One of the big things for me, I always want to help young women and give them insight into life experiences,” she told MTV News on Monday (November 9). “One of those things is going through an abusive relationship like I did. But that’s one thing for me. So I don’t want to be the big domestic-violence spokesperson, because that doesn’t define who I am. But if I can help young women in any way, and that being one of the things they need help with, then I’ll do that.”</p></blockquote>

</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Check out part 2 of Rihanna&#8217;s indepth interview with <em>ABC&#8217;s</em> Diane Sawyer in which she goes into detail about the night Ike Jr. assaulted her. She admits what we already knew&#8211; a text message from I&#8217;m presuming another chick led to their heated argument and unfortunately left her with a battered face.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Earlier today, Chris Brown issued a statement to <em>MTV </em>about Rihanna&#8217;s decision to finally break her silence about the beatdown incident.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;While I respect Rihanna&#8217;s right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.&#8221;</em></p>
</blockquote>

<em><br />
<blockquote> “That’s embarrassing that that’s the type of person that I fell in love with,” Rihanna told “Good Morning America’s” Diane Sawyer in her first television interview discussing the assault. “So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience.”<br />
Her decision to go back to Brown, she said, was a mistake.<br />
“I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,” she said. “But again … I’m a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I’m not perfect.”</p></blockquote>
<p></em><br />
<center> Be sure to tune into the full interview on “20/20? at 10 p.m. E.T. Friday, Nov. 6th. </center><br />
<center> <embed src='http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/021109/76629_player-viral4.6.swf' height='270' width='480' bgcolor='FF0000' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' flashvars='lightcolor=000000&#038;backcolor=FF0000&#038;level=0&#038;dock=false&#038;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F29dv9zp.png&#038;controlbar=over&#038;link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrworldpremiere.net%2F&#038;bandwidth=12531&#038;file=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.ak.facebook.com%2Fvideo-ak-sf2p%2Fv6814%2F64%2F40%2F174902808320_3788.mp4&#038;screencolor=000000&#038;frontcolor=FFFFFF&#038;plugins=viral-2'/></center><br />
<center><br />
<em><br />
<blockquote>“It’s completely normal to go back. It’s not right. I learned the hard way, but again, this is what I want people to know,” she said. “When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be held responsible for going back.<br />
“Even if Chris never hit me again, who is to say that their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say that they won’t kill these girls?” she said. “These are young girls and I just didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that happened.”</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href='http://str8nyc.com/2009/11/04/chris-brown-x-rihanna-battle-of-the-interviews/' class='retweet vert'  target= >CHRIS BROWN x RIHANNA &#8220;BATTLE OF THE INTERVIEWS&#8221;!</a><p style="text-align: center;">Now that both Rihanna and Chris Brown are making comebacks after their tumultuous relationship came to an end earlier this year, it&#8217;s only right that their teams go hard with heavy promo. Right? But something tells me that the ex-lovebirds are going head to head in a battle over album sales. Surprisingly after months of keeping mum about the incident, Rihanna has finally decided to break her silence about that tragic night in February which turned her world upside down. But why now? From a candid interview with <em>Glamour Magazine</em> and an in depth interview with ABC&#8217;s Diane Sawyer scheduled to air on Thursday and Friday on GMA at 7 a.m., followed by an extended interview Friday on 20/20 at 10 p.m. ET.&#8211;is Rihanna really trying to get some closure by becoming a &#8220;spokeswoman&#8221; of some sort for victims of domestic violence or is she simply trying to sell some records? Meanwhile, her abuser&#8217;s interview with <em>MTV</em> is set to air on Friday as well at 6 p.m. ET. Is this all just a coincidence? I don&#8217;t think so!</p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;My thoughts [when I look back on it now] is like, why did it happen?&#8221; he told MTV News correspondent Sway during an hour-long, one-on-one interview that took place in Brown&#8217;s native Virginia. &#8220;Like, what was I thinking? What is wrong with you? That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m thinking with myself. That&#8217;s what my thoughts are, basically, now. It&#8217;s like, how do we get past it? How do you, Chris — talking to myself — how do you go from point A to point B? How do you learn from your mistakes, turn it into a positive and help other people with the situation and at the end of the day become the person that you want to be?&#8221;</em></p>
