The RIHturn: Rihanna Rocks Tampa After Recovering From Illness

Rihanna is back trekking it along on her Diamonds world tour.  She returned to the stage in Tampa last night after missing two shows in Texas last week due to an unspecified illness, but her Navy welcomed her back with open arms....and non stop screams. 

 

Check out Rih Rih getting back to business inside...

After having to skip the Houston & Dallas dates last week due to illness, Rih Rih had a few days to lay low, pause the partying and regain her strength.  And she was fit to return to her fans in Tampa last night.

Hopefully she's fully recovered this time and vowed to chill out a bit on the partying while touring.  The "Cake" chick kept it sexy as usual on stage and seemed to be back in business.

Check out her performing "Pour It Up" at the Tampa Bay Times Arena:

 

The River Island designing chick also posted a pic in white hot Alexander Wang cut out boots in the cockpit of her private plane right before she jetted to Tampa:

Next stop: Tonight in Sunrise, FL.

And despite all the negativity she's been caught up in lately--beefing with Ciara, cancelling tour dates and er controversial make-up with Chris Brown--the most coveted fashion designers are still Team Rih Rih.

And Tom Ford told WWD recently that he thinks of her when designing his collections for women who can afford to pull off the matchy matchy look:

Well, this was on a beautiful, beautiful black girl named Herieth [Paul], who is probably my favorite current model. She’s wearing pink patchwork boots—it’s patchwork pony, astrakhan, velvet—and a matching skirt and a matching jacket. Head-to-toe pink. One blogger wrote it was like Escada on acid, which actually I think is kind of a compliment, because Escada used to match everything. We haven’t seen that for a long time. And if you’re Rihanna, who is a customer, if you’re that kind of person who can pull off matching hot-pink boots, skirt and jacket, and patchwork multimaterials, I think it’s great.

And about her being sort of a muse:

Whenever I’m working on a collection, everything does have to be real, and those outfits are real to me. If I think, “OK, who is wearing this and where is she going?” And I think, “OK, that’s Rihanna, and she’s going to her lawyer’s office in that all-black outfit and she’s hung over and that’s why she’s wearing those glasses. Yet she’s still a rock star.”

Meanwhile, Rih has released the imagery for her new MAC RiRiWoo lipstick that was inspired by the brand's popular Ruby Woo:

Blame it on the Goose...and the fact he's filming one blockbuster at the same time another one of his blockbusters is hitting theaters.  Check out Jamie Foxx dancing it up with Channing "Magic Mike" Tatum in Mexico at the premiere of their new flick White House Down.  Plus, Mariah's getting little Monroe started early on how to diva walk for the cameras..

At the 5th Annual Summer of Sony in Cancun last night, the White House Down cast decided to go all-white for the premiere of their upcoming flick.  Jamie Foxx, who plays the President in the film (go figure), broke out dancing with his co-star Channing Tatum.

The fellas posed it up with their co-star Maggie Gyllenhaal and director Roland Emmerich.  Fun times indeed.  And YES to Channing Tatum after seeing that damn Magic Mike movie. 

 

Back in the states, "idol" judge Mariah Carey snapped some pics of herself showing her little girl Monroe Cannon how to walk like a diva in L.A.:

Then Mariah snapped a hot pic of herself working in the studio.  Because every diva dresses like this just to hit the studio.  She said, 'Off to mix my new single. #music=life (that's not the song title ha ha).'

Not even mad.  She's looking gorge these days.  Her first album in 3 years will be out soon.

The YBF kids got to live the life this weekend.  Rihanna fan Reginae Carter threw on her cute teen look to hit up Rihanna's concert at the BB&T Theater in Sunrise, FL right outside of Miami.

Of course, she got to go backstage and meet the "Cake" chick and they snapped some super cute pics to remember the moment.  Oh to be a celebuspawn and get instant access to the things and people most teens only dream about while looking at the posters on their walls.

And so we continue with the matching tattoo trend for couples.  Eva Marcille and singer/rapper Kevin McCall are the latest to tatt their symbols of love for each other on their bodies....so we know it's real.

 

Check out their fresh new ink inside...

Before Kevin headed out to Australia for a round of performances, Eva locked him down (literally) by getting a heart shaped lock tatted on her back by L.A. tattoo artist i Am/The BodyPainter.  And Kevin was tatted by the same artist with...you guessed it...the key to her heart.

 photo bdcd79e0aa1811e2947622000a9e138b_7_zps9541f1de.jpg

Eva got hers on 4/20 and said, "Seated like #buda gettin inked #420 by the one and only @iamcompton #inkartmusic #smokeup".  That hair though....and that nip slip she obviously was too high to care about....

 photo b2e1aa84aa1711e29a5822000a9f15d4_7_zps64104fa8.jpg

She showed off her new lock saying,"He always got my back, and has unlocked my heart! #effzies"

And Kevin said about his tatt, "Shouts out to my nigga @iamcompton for my new ink I got b4 coming to Australia #Fre$h man" 

Well isn't that...special. 

 photo 6eeb56c89e0e11e28b4622000a9e2975_7_zps652c0e0a.jpg

And we all know this interlocking tatt move was to like to make Mr. McCall think twice before straying while Down Under.  Do what you gotta do boo....

Rihanna must be confident in her recovery from that unspecified illness last week that caused her to miss two concert dates.  Because she was back in the club last night after returning to the stage for the first time from her hiatus.

Sexy singer Rihanna made an unannounced visit to a South Beach night club after her concert in nearby Saturday night. She rocked a cropped bra top and black shorts to show off her enviable and pretty much perfect skin and killer legs.  And after recently saying she never really recovered from her first bout with sickness, she looked to be back in her health's good graces. 

The "Pour It Up" chick showed up around 1AM with her entourage, complete with 2 tour buses that blocked the streets until police had to make them move. And they stayed till 3AM.

TV FAB: Bob & Sheree Whitfield FAIL To WORK IT OUT On "Iyanla: Fix My Life"

Former "RHOA" star Sheree Whitfield appeared with her ex-husband, retired football player Bob Whitfield on a must-see episode this weekend of "Iyanla: Fix My Life" where they were both forced to look at their ill-fated co-parenting skills and unresolved anger towards one another.  See all the footage from the show inside....

Missed the Sheree Whitfield episode of "Fix My Life"?  No worries, we got you.

On the latest installment of "Iyanla: Fix My Life", Iyanla Vanzant sat down with former "RHOA" star Sheree Whitfield and her ex-husband Bob Whitfield where the two discussed the obstacles preventing them from co-parenting their two children.  Along the way, Iyanla took both down a long and murky road of emotional issues (the same ones previously traveled by DMX and Evelyn Lozada) that allowed them both to see their own flaws and what roles they played in the failure of their marriage and how it affected their children.  

And it was obvious to everyone watching, Bob Whitfield was very open to the process. Sheree, on the other hand,remained closed and guarded (much like her stint on "RHOA") .

Fans of "RHOA" will enjoy Iyanla's revealing chat with Sheree about her un-finished McMansion "Chateau Sheree" and how its incompletion is a mirror of her life and her "former" marriage.  Of course, Sheree battled Iyanla along the way and didn't seem open to criticism, so she missed most of the "A-Ha" moments.  Iyanla also gets to the bottom of the child support issues and why her marriage to Bob was doomed from the start.

For Bob's part, Iyanla called him out for failing to parent his two children and helped him see how he allowed his anger towards Sheree push him out of his children's lives.  

Iyanla tweeted her most memorable "take home lessons" from the episode shortly after it aired...

 photo ScreenShot2013-04-22at90226AM.png photo ScreenShot2013-04-22at90319AM.png

Though Sheree and Bob did not leave the episode on friendly terms, Iyanla's episode might be a useful tool for warring baby mamas and daddies who don't get along .  She told the pair, "Whenver the elephants fights...the grass suffers. And the children are the grass."  And in another classic moment, she told them both that they did not have the luxury of disliking one another since they decided to have two kids together. Womp.  #useprotection

Though Sheree failed to provide Iyanla with an update, she was following Oprah's timeline and retweeted some of Oprah's sentiments. 

 photo ScreenShot2013-04-22at92605AM.png

It's interesting that she didn't retweeted any of Iyanla's tweets that hit close to home.  Y'all know I've always thought Sheree to be the most delusional of all the Housewives.  So no surprise there.

 

Meanwhile....Bob didn't watch the episode but he was ALSO following Oprah and retweeted her "quoting" him from the show...

 photo ScreenShot2013-04-22at92503AM.png 

 

Iyanla confronts Sheree about what "Chateau Sheree"...or as NeNe calls it "Neverland" truly represents:

 

Bob explains why he's so angry towards Sheree:

 

Iyanla explains why Bob and Sheree WON'T be able to co-parent:

Porsha Spills The Divorce Tea On "WWHL" With Vivica Fox + Best Parts Of The "RHOA" Reunion Finale

 photo bps6_zps02d300b7.png

Porsha Stewart made her way to Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" after the third and final installment of "RHOA" reunion aired.  And she told all about her and Kordell's divorce.  Plus, the best parts of the final reunion show installment of "RHOA"....

 

Poor Porsha.  As much as her lazyness and ignorance irks us to no end, no one deserves to have to go through this type of divorce with the lameness that is Kordell Stewart.

Porsha told everything last night as she was on Andy's show with Vivica Fox.  And it's just as bad as we thought.  She was blindsided and learned of her divorce from Twitter:

I was totally blindsided.  At the reunion (before the papers were filed), I did feel some kind of way because I did want my husband there with me. But I was standing strong representing for my family. I was a wife, that was my title and that's what I took on and had ownership of. But when I found out about the divorce it was absolutely a surprise. I was laying in the bed and woke up and I tweeted "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." And I put the phone down and took another nap like I always do sometimes (Sigh). And then I looked back at my phone and my sister was calling me over and over. She said "Have you heard?" I said 'heard what' and let me go to Twitter. (Double sigh)

The first thing I see is 'Kordell divorcing Porsha.  I'm like, 'this is a crazy joke'. But yes, I found out from Twitter. I called my sister back and said I'm going to ask him about it--I went in there and asked him. He was there (in the house) (TRIPLE SIGH). I asked him had he filed. And I felt very disappointed and let down.

Porsha explained that divorce was not her choice, and she feels betrayed:

"When I got married, I meant it for life. I always said I would never get a divorce unless he cheated on me. I had to find out from my attorney if it was true, he had to look it up online. And yes, they're still living in the same house together. But she said that doesn't mean they speak and it doens't mean she's still cooking eggs and hamhocks. She says she spends time away with friends and family in Atlanta and "It's a difficult situation right now. It's something I did not want. I had asked previously can we work this out, can we go to counseling."

Word.

 photo bps12_zps47e214aa.png

Now cue Pastor Porsha.  Chick slipped into her Evangelist ways to preach on what a good wife should do:

"What you saw at the reunion was a wife trying her last try. When you are married you have to put 150% into your marriage no matter what. And if it doesn't work, you need to be able to walk away and say I tried. It aint always gonna be easy or a happy situation, but when you have made a vow to that man and the child you have in your home, you owe them that. So I feel like it was a betrayal that I suffered from and that's something I'm going to have to move on from. At least I feel like I put in my best at the end of the day."

Amen.

Meanwhile, Porsha looked great as usual and she and Viv had tons of fun with Andy:

And for last night's final reunion show, we MUST discuss Porsha's singing.

 

She was dead serious.  And not horrible. But def not the iconic collabo of every singer she previously named that she sounds like. 

 

Apollo called out Kenya for texting him about how good he looked on the shows he was doing promos on, what she would do for him that his wife doesn't, and so on.  Phaedra claimed Apollo told her everything.  But....did he?

Are we the only ones who think Apollo would have def hopped on the Stallion Booty had Kenya given him the green light and not just the yellow?  Hmmm....

By the way, we hear NeNe Leakes has added a few bridesmaids to her bridal party: Laura Govan and Jennifer Williams.

STILL FREE: Lauryn Hill's Tax Evasion SENTENCING Delayed, POSTS Rant BLASTING INACCURATE "Squatting" WOES

Lauryn Hill is still a free woman...pending she pays back the taxes she owes by May!  Get the deets on her "postponed" sentencing inside and read her rant about landlords and "squatting."

 photo LaurynHillTaxSentencingcSRZJSvBp45l.jpg

Lauryn Hill was seen walking out of court in Newark, New Jersey today where a judge postponed her tax evasion sentencing.  You'll recall that Lauryn pleaded not guilty to tax evasion charges for failing to pay on $1.8 million earned from 2005-2007.

During the proceedings, it was revealed that so far, Lauryn has paid $50,000 of a total of $554,000 owed.  She was criticized by the judge for failing to come up with total amount....as previously promised.  In fact, U.S. Magistrate Judge Madeline Cox Arleo criticized Lauryn for relying on the promise of a recording contract to pay the tax bill.  She said,"This is not someone who stands before the court penniless..This is a criminal matter. Actions speak louder than words, and there has been no effort here to pay these taxes." Judge Arleo went on to reschedule Lauryn's next sentencing hearing for May 6.  

Lauryn's attorney, Nathan Hochman, said that Lauryn recently signed a loan against two properties she owns and said, "I fully expect that by May 3 Ms. Hill will be able to pay back all the restitution she has."

And if you heard that Lauryn was "squatting" and not pay her rent...she wants you to know it's not true.  She posted on her Tumblr account,

I’d like to set the record straight: I am not squatting, and I do not owe any money to my landlord. I have always stayed current on rent. I was raised in South Orange, which is why these allegations are not only false, but insulting. I am in talks with the town about resolving an unrelated issue, regarding how I use my home to work on my music, which has nothing to do with my financial obligations.
Won’t it be great when real journalism returns to replace inaccurate tabloid harassment.

Well.....we guess she "cleared" that up.

 

Check out some more of Lauryn's court room swag and see why the judge said, "This is not someone who stands before the court penniless."

Janelle Monáe just premiered “Q.U.E.E.N.,” a new track from her upcoming album, THE ELECTRIC LADY

Fresh off her stint at Coachella, Janelle brings us her usual up-tempo high energy jazzy vibe on the song.  And she's singing and rapping about what makes a woman a real Q.U.E.E.N.

Erykah Badu comes in midway on the positive track singing a few verses.  And it's the perfect mix.

Check out "Q.U.E.E.N." above and decide...

As Beyonce's Mrs. Carter Show world tour rolls on, she's using her days off to spend time with her 1 and a half year old baby girl Blue Ivy.  Check out how the Carter chicks were caught on surveillance camera sneaking into a British store semi-unnoticed...

Bey we see you girl....

After shutting down the stage in Slovakia Friday night, Beyonce had a day off on Saturday before hitting the stage again in Amsterdam Sunday night.  And it looks like she spent it shopping in Newbury, Berkshire at a store called Mothercare.

The surveillance camera snap made the rounds on Twitter and it shows someone who looks very much like Beyonce hiding under a hoodie (the same one she was spotted in Friday) and behind shades as she carries her daughter Blue Ivy, uncovered.

Reportedly, when store-goers realized who they were, it caused a major commotion.  But chick just felt like shopping the British high street like most people.

The store manager confirmed the Carters were indeed there saying, 'We can confirm that she was in the store but we respect her privacy as a new mum.  If she wants to come in again, we would love to see her.'

The "Love On Top" chick has been in the news recently due to some serious hair puling and grabbing...but all from her fans who were way too turned upand lost it when she ran down the aisles during her concert in Serbia over a week ago.  Video is just now surfacing...but reports of her getting "slapped" by fans are an over exaggeration as they were reaching to pull at her hair.

Also, Amy Winehouse's pops Mitch isn't really feeling Beyonce covering his late daughter's "Back To Black" song for The Great Gatsby soundtrack.  He said publicly recently:

‘I don’t think she brings anything to it.  I wasn’t asked for my permission if they could record it.’  And after agreeing to its use he said: ‘They have got to pay for the privilege, which is what they are doing. I can’t tell you how much it is but it’s a lot of money.’

He also mentioned that maybe Beyonce should donate 100,000 pounds (UK money) to the Amy's Winehouse Foundation.

A snippet can be heard in the trailer above.

Bey returns to the stage tomorrow night for a two-night stint in Paris Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, with her former background dancer turned R&B singer Luke James as her new opening act.

It's a big week for Rihanna as she jetted from some major playtime in Miami where she also had a Diamonds World Tour concert stop...to Atlanta for another celeb-filled tour stop and a topless photoshoot. And, she just set a new Billboard Record for Pop music.

 

Deets and pics inside...

Gabrielle Union, who's in the ATL filming her new BET show "Being Mary Jane," and Ludacris were just two of the celebs backstage at last Rih Rih's Diamonds tour stop.

She saw some folks before she hit the stage, and plenty afterwards as well:

After switching into some cutoff shorts and a tank, Rih posed it up with the OMG Girlz.

And Tiny & Shakeenah were in on the pics too of course.

T.I.P. stopped by to wish his "Live Your Life" collabo partner good luck.

Jermaine Dupri brought his gorge daughter Shaniah along to meet Rihanna.

Monyetta Shaw, Ne-Yo's finacee, chilled out in Rih's dressing room and put on some makeup.

Gabby & Chanel Iman, who's been traveling around with Rih's opener A$AP Rocky as his new boo thang, got kissy in the audience.

And Rih's assistant Jen and stylist got in on it all.

And it was the topless pic from a photoshoot earlier in the day that had people wondering what the "Pour It Up" chick was up to next.  Chick's skin is perfection.  Hot.

And y'all already know what else she hit up after the show...Magic City strip club. Peep some video below:

 

More good news for the pop diva--she just became the first artist in the 20-year history of Billboard's Nielsen BDS-based Pop Songs radio airplay chart to tally 10 No. 1s, as "Stay," featuring Mikky Ekko, went to #1. She was previously tied with her good friend Katy Perry at 9, but it looks like somebody's Rih-written history. Congrats!

Doing his best Morris Day & The Time impersonation, "America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon donned THIS outfit for the 2013 NBC Universal Summer Press Day....and had his mirror and mirror guy on hand.  That damn Nick...

Easter brunch fresh.  Held at Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa in Pasadena, California, Mr. Cannon kicked off the event in his springtime swag complete with an attendant and a cane.

Nick's "AGT" judge Mel B. has already drawn some "boos" from the studio audience during tapings, but we'll give her applause for her red carpet look.

 photo nbccm8.jpg

She added a little springtime "spice" to the event while rocking a body hugging black dress with a center panel of contouring with black and white stripes.  Nice.

 photo nmccm2.jpg

Meanwhile, Cash Money recording artist Christina Milian looked like a doll...who couldn't stop playing in the concealer....as she promoted her gig on "The Voice."

 photo nbccm1.jpg photo nbccm3.jpg

She looked fab in a lace blue mini dress and nude heels.  Super cute look for her. No more ring though?  Maybe she didn't want to continue to lead her fans on with making them believe she and boyfriend Jas Prince are engaged.

Before the red carpet, Christina got her nails and toes pampered, tweeting "Quick pedi w the crew.. Lol".

Ray J, who's hosting Bad Girls All-Star Battle, walked the red carpet.   This guy...

Check the pics inside, plus a teaser for her brand new video with Maxwell for their song "Fire We Make"....

After bringing her tour to the Bahamas and performing at the Atlantis Grand Ballroom on Saturday, Mrs. Keys Beatz brought her son Egypt to the beach to enjoy the white sands and clear waters.  And some sand castle building too, of course.

Alicia rocked a cute tan cover up over her floral bikini and spent some QT with Egypt and her mom Teresa Augello at The Cove Beach at the Atlantis Hotel.

How cute!

Ariane Davis and Benzino both hosted "LAHH ATL" viewing parties last night attended by fellow ATL reality stars, Kandi Buruss, Derek J, Mimi Faust, K. Michelle and others. See pics inside....

 photo mimiatl2.jpg

Mixologist Ariane Davis helped kick off the second season of "LAHH ATL" with a viewing party at Auto Spa Bistro in Atlanta last night.  Guess she was happy to get her shine time during the premiere with her run-in with K. Michelle over sleeping with one of K's exes...meaning Memphitz.

Ariane's bestie, Mimi Faust, who spent most of last night's episode cursing up a storm and moving back in with Steebie, got her pose on with the hostess.

 photo mimiatl4.jpg

Fellow "LAHH ATL" star Karlie Redd attended Ariane's party.  Hmm....interesting that Karlie would make an appearance at Ariane's party....as opposed to Benzino's event.  We guess we'll have to keep watching to see how their "relationship" played out this season.

 photo mimiatl10.jpg

For the party, Ariane mixed up a special  "LAHH" cocktail with cognac, triple sec, simple syrup and grenadine...served in a martini glass with a smile.

 

Also in the ATL.....

Benzino and his Hip Hop Weekly magazine also threw a viewing party at Scoreboard Sports Lounge last night with "RHOA" star Kandi Burruss among the attendees.

Kandi posed with the infamous Stevie J.

And her team was there too.."My #KandiKoatedEnt team @camcambi & @donjuannc"

  photo beno1.jpg

Kandi and her fiance Todd Tucker posed with "LAHH" stars Rasheeda and Kirk Frost too.  And we're sure Rasheeda and Kirk had no desire to attend Ariane's party since their nemisis K. Michelle was on the invite list!

Good looking actors Taye Diggs and Morris Chestnut were spotted filiming a scene for 'The Best Man Holiday' at a park in Toronto, Canada yesterday.

 photo bme3.jpg

Well isn't this interesting?  We've found out that actor Eddie Cibrian (who famously cheated on ex-wife Brandi Glanville of "RHOBH" withhis now wife Leann Rhimes) is a part of the cast.  Guard ya girls! Eddie has been branded a notorious cheater and has "fallen in love" on-set before. 

The film is expected to hit the silver screen November 15, 2013.
