Rihanna bloody knee: RiRi attacked at club

Celebrity News

Rihanna debuted a bloody knee in London after someone allegedly threw a bottle at her and she scraped her knee trying to avoid it. On Feb. 17, TMZ reported that Rihanna was in town for fashion week and was having a nice night out as a club called "The Box." Apparently someone had a major problem with her and tried to attack her.

"Someone threw a bottle of Lucozade (a UK energy drink) in her direction. The bottle didn't connect, but Rihanna allegedly scraped her knee during the commotion when she brushed up against a metal shop grate," TMZ reported.

Rihanna's bloody knee made headline celebrity news back in The States, and many of her fans are outraged that someone tried to harm her. According to the report, her "attacker" was yelling all kinds of things at her, mainly about her dating Chris Brown. It is unknown exactly what was said, but it is safe to assume that the person did not approve of Rihanna's reconciliation with C Breezy.

Rihanna and Chris Brown made their relationship "official" at the Grammy Awards last weekend. The on-again couple sat together in the audience, cuddled, and even expressed some PDA.

A bloody knee won't stop Rihanna from living her life. The scrape didn't look that bad and she's expected to be just fine.

Lindsay Lohan Makes a Messy Surprise Appearance on ‘Jimmy Fallon’

By Suzy Byrne | omg! from Yahoo!

Lindsay Lohan didn’t want to sit down for a prying interview with Barbara Walters, but she had no problem appearing on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” Wednesday night – probably because she didn’t have to utter a single word!

 The 26-year-old “Liz & Dick” star was a surprise guest on the NBC talk show, popping up during Fallon’s "Let Us Play With Your Look" segment, in which he sings those six words over and over while a celebrity guest gives an audience member a messy makeover. Moments after Fallon started crooning, Lohan – who drastically played with her look for the bit – appeared dressed in all white, including a blunt-cut bob wig with bangs. She plucked a gentleman from the audience and led him to the stage – in complete silence. She proceeded to rub a large amount of a goopy, creamy substance all over his head to “style” his hair, but it also ended up on his face and all over his clothing.

Fallon ultimately collapsed from his energetic singing performance and was pulled off the stage. Lohan then hammed it up a little, attempting to exit after him, but getting caught in the curtain. She played up the physical comedy, maintaining complete silence. As she finally escaped, one audience member is heard screaming, “I love you Lindsay!” The rest of the audience then gave a round of applause.

 Lohan didn’t appear after the commercial break, but Fallon gave her a shout out. "I want to say thank you to the great Lindsay Lohan for helping us out! She's awesome."

Fallon and Lohan recently reconnected in Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy. The TV host stopped in a restaurant for a late-night bite to eat and saw LiLo there with her friends. After telling him it was “embarrassing” that he was dining alone, she invited him to sit at her table and he did.

Sounds like it was over dinner that they also plotted her secret appearance on his show!

Lohan was scheduled to appear on “20/20” this Friday to promote her upcoming Lifetime TV movie, “Liz & Dick,” during an interview with her “close family friend” Barbara Walters. However, Lohan’s long-time publicist quit last month and she hired a new team – one which apparently didn’t want her to dish about all her legal troubles with Walters. So Lohan pulled out of that interview and scheduled a chat session on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” on November 20 instead. Leno is known for his soft-ball questions, so he will likely go easy on the troubled star.

Not as easy as Fallon though! He let Lohan have a moment to shine – and she didn’t even have to open her mouth, which is a good thing as it tends to get her in trouble.

In other Lohan news, this week the actress learned she has a long-lost sibling! It has long been rumored that her dad, Michael, had a love child while he was married to Dina, but it was confirmed when he took a paternity test on the British TV show “Trisha Goddard Show,” which airs Thursday. The “lucky” girl is 17-year-old Ashley Horn, who met her dad for the first time on the show. Of course, Michael is also expecting another child with his current girlfriend, Kate Major, a former tabloid reporter.

No Doubt Pulls Controversial ‘Cowboys & Indians’-Themed Video After Complaints

L: Adrian Young, R: Gwen Stefani

By Wendy Geller | Stop The Presses!

No Doubt's second single off their new album is called "Looking Hot," but it looks like the video for the tune has gotten the band in hot water. The clip, which debuted Friday and features an Old West cowboys-and-Indians theme, has raised ire in the Native American community, resulting in its removal from all outlets.

In the video, Stefani--who is of European descent--dresses up as a Native American princess, complete with feather headdresses, beaded jewelry, and long braids (which, incidentally, she keeps her usual platinum blond). Bassist Tony Kanal--who is of Eastern Indian heritage--plays a tribal chief. Drummer Adrian Young and guitarist Tom Dumont portray traditional cowboys, who capture Stefani and tie her up.

One would assume that the band didn't intend any offense; however, November is Native American Heritage Month. And, this certainly isn't the first time this sort of playacting has come under scrutiny (one only needs to look to the sports world for a boatload of examples).

At any rate, No Doubt has pulled the video, and put an apology on their official website.

"As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures. Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history," it reads. "Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people. This is of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately.

"The music that inspired us when we started the band, and the community of friends, family, and fans that surrounds us was built upon respect, unity and inclusiveness. We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are."

Fans on Facebook had mixed response to the video, with some thinking it was no big deal--"Concentrate on real issues instead of attacking a band that has never shown any racism or hate," said one--and others using the opportunity to educate about Native American concerns by sharing links and information.

Still others were disturbed by another aspect of the video--Stefani being bound and tied by her bandmates, which they construed as a message of violence and dominance over women; particularly disturbing when combined with the racial aspect. "[They] tried to make bondage of a Native woman sexy," lamented one fan.

No Doubt released their sixth album, Push And Shove, in September. The set marks the first studio album from the band in seven years.

Adele better brush up on her lullabies!

The eight-time Grammy winner has given birth to a healthy baby boy, a source tells Us Weekly. It is the first child for Adele and the second for her boyfriend, Simon Konecki, who has a five-year-old daughter with ex-wife Clary Fisher.

In the time since confirming her pregnancy on her official blog in July, the 24-year-old pop star has remained largely out of the spotlight as she focused on her baby-to-be. "The baby is healthy and she's so excited!" an Adele confidant told Us Weekly in late September.

Going back into the recording studio to belt out "Skyfall," the theme song for the new James Bond film just prior to giving birth, Adele is also working on her next full-length album. Her new music, a source explains, will be inspired in large part by her new bundle of joy.

"The pregnancy has had a big impact on her songwriting!" explains the insider, who tells Us the new album will be lighter in tone than her breakup-themed disc 21, released in early 2011.

New music isn't the only thing the busy mom has on her upcoming agenda. She and Konecki, 38, are anxious to wed! Raised by a single mom, a pal tells Us that Adele "wants a low-key affair where her mother gives her away."

More than anything, says the insider, "she wants to be a wife and mom."

Box Office: 'Amazing Spider-Man' Makes $7.5M in Midnight Shows

By Todd Cunningham | The Wrap

Sony's "The Amazing Spider-Man" is off to a fast start at the box office, taking in $7.5 million from 3,150 screens at midnight shows Tuesday.

That is, coincidentally, what "Spider-Man 3" opened to with its midnight shows on May 3, 2007, and that film went on to make $336.5 million domestically.

Spidey brought in $1.2 million of its haul from 300 Imax screens, a glossy $4,000 per-screen average.

The big opening, no doubt fueled by passionate fanboys, gives "The Amazing Spider-Man" some momentum heading into the six-day July 4 weekend. Industry analysts have projected an opening between $120 million and $140 million.

The record is held by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," which earned a staggering $43.5 million in midnight shows last year, on its way to a $169.2 million opening weekend, the second-best ever.

In May, Disney and Marvel's "Avengers" took in $18.7 million from midnight shows at roughly 2,500 screens -- $1.3 million from 273 Imax screens -- on its way to biggest opening weekend ever at $207.4 million.

Eva Longoria Opens Up About Tony Parker's Infidelity: 'It Was Definitely Not About Me'

By Suzy Byrne | Yahoo! TV

When Eva Longoria's marriage to Tony Parker ended in 2010, the split was splashed across every celebrity magazine because the NBA basketball player had reportedly cheated on the "Desperate Housewives" star – with their mutual friend. Initially Longoria didn't divulge too much about the dramatic end of the relationship, opting to move on with new boyfriend Eduardo Cruz soon after, but now she offers insight into her divorce.

On Thursday night's episode of Lifetime's "The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet," Longoria was asked what she would tell her 14-year-old self and she quickly replied: "Don't marry that basketball player!"

The 37-year-old star talked about confronting Parker when she discovered he had sent hundreds of inappropriate text messages to Erin Barry, the wife of his San Antonio Spurs teammate Brent Barry. (Erin denied an affair with Parker, but ended her marriage at around the same time.) "I really wanted to provide a pillow for him to say and express why," she said. "Because I really wanted to know why.' I'm not going to judge you. I'm not going to be mad in this moment. I'll be mad later… People say, 'What grace!' And it wasn't that. I really wanted to know, and if you genuinely want to get something out of somebody, you have to not judge."

Whatever answers Parker provided led Longoria to find closure. "It was definitely not about me," she said about his affair. Knowing the truth "didn't make me feel better, but it helped me understand." Adding, "I am so secure in who I am. I really am. And I'm not conceited. I just think, 'Wow, okay, that's the life you want to live.'"

While the end of her marriage did shake her up, she said it didn't consume her – and she didn't give herself a hard time over it. "It wasn't about who he chose," she told de Cadenet. "I had moments of like: 'OK, I'm not sexy enough? I'm not pretty enough? Am I not smart enough?' Then I immediately stopped. 'No, no, no – don't start doing that.' Because you can get stuck in that cycle and you can carry that on to other things."

After a brief split with Cruz, the younger brother of actress Penelope, they're back on. And Longoria is at a turning point in her career as "Desperate Housewives," the show that catapulted her to stardom, goes off the air after an eight-year run. "I'm in a transitional state where I have no rules and I have no boundaries, and I don't really want to put those back up." Noting, "I feel like I am just getting started."

Christina Aguilera Likes New 'Voice'

Christina Aguilera New Look

"The show feels bigger." That was host Carson Daly's assessment of season 2 of NBC's "The Voice" when Billboard caught up with him and other stars of the show on the red carpet Tuesday night.

 Coach Christina Aguilera sounded similarly positive, especially about the new twist that was introduced at the live elimination show ( which claimed two of her singers).

 "We kinda had a minute to understand what it was all about last year," she told us. "Although this year, a really cool twist was them getting to come out, pick a song… and sort of get one last chance. In those blind auditions we'd have no clue what's behind us and all we had was the big red button… And all you could go by is what sounded good to your ears. What moves you. I went into this year really wanting unique voices, and I think that's what I got."

 Also on the red carpet, we chatted with Aguilera's fellow coach Adam Levine, contestants Jermaine Paul, Lindsay Pavao, Jordis Unga, Chris Mann, Rae Lynn, Erin Willett and Jesse Campbell, as well as just-ousted Charlotte Sometimes, Naia Kete and Moses Stone.
