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.

Beyoncé admits she lip-synced

Beyoncé Knowles held a press conference in New Orleans on Thursday where she talked about her highly anticipated Super Bowl half-time performance. But first, the singer addressed the elephant in the room.

When Beyonce walked on stage she asked the audience to rise, then proceeding to give an impeccable, LIVE acapella performance of the National Anthem. After she finished she asked the audience, simply, “Any questions?”

And questions the media indeed had! Knowles was drilled multiple times to explain what exactly happened at the Presidential Inauguration.

“I am a perfectionist and one thing about me, I practice until my feet bleed. I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra, it was a live television show," Knowles explained. "Due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check I did not feel comfortable taking the risk."

"It was about the President and the Inauguration so I decided to sing along with the prerecorded track, which is very common in the music industry," continued Beyoncé. "I am very proud of my performance.”

omg! Insider’s Kevin Frazier asked the second question of the press conference, asking about rumors surrounding a Destiny’s Child reunion, which Beyonce would neither deny nor confirm, smiling widely.

“I can’t really give you any details, I’m sorry!” Knowles coyly responded. However, she did express her excitement about their recent reunion for Love Songs.

“We did a new song and it was so excited hearing us together again. I dropped on the floor like a teenager again when I heard us harmonize. It’s always such a pleasure to be around them professionally and personally.”

Beyoncé was then asked if she planned to sing live on Sunday or sing with a pre-recorded track like Madonna did last year.

“I will absolutely be singing live. I am well rehearsed and I will absolutely be singing live. It’s what I was born to do, what I was born for.” Added the superstar, “I’ve had a sixteen year career and all of the things I’ve done have prepared me for this. I’m ready.”

When pressed yet again about her decision to sing with a track at inauguration, Beyoncé said, “It was unfortunately a time where I could not rehearse because I was practicing for the Super Bowl.”

Knowles added that “it was always the plan” to sing with a backing track and clarified that “yes,” she did sing along with it.

The “Single Ladies” singer also touched on her very personal HBO documentary (out February 16).

“I feel like my daughter has changed me and changed my life and has given me so much purpose,” Knowles told the crowd. “I feel like this movie, it’s very necessary. It shows a human side. We are all human. I feel like at some point my job is to protect her and I’m happy I can tell my story on my terms.”

When her Super Bowl performance is finished Beyoncé, plans to relax with Blue Ivy Carter.

“I can’t wait,” smiled the singer. “I’m going to enjoy my daughter. I miss her, I have been working so hard.”

But it doesn't sound like the hard work is going to stop anytime soon.

“I may have an announcement after the performance and the fans should just stay tuned to see,” Beyoncé said mysteriously.

Shakira Gives Birth to Baby Boy

Shakira and Gerard Pique

Shakira is singing a happy tune!

The Colombian songstress and her boyfriend, professional soccer player Gerard Pique, welcomed a baby boy on Tuesday, according to Shakira’s personal website.

“We are happy to announce the birth of Milan, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Piqué, born January 22nd at 9:36pm, in Barcelona, Spain,” the statement read. “The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification. “

And though he’s just hours old and currently only weighs 6 pounds, 6 ounces, it sounds like the little guy will be following in the footsteps of his dad … or that’s what his parents are hoping, at least: “Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth,” the note continued.

Shakira had given her more than 19 million Twitter followers a hint that her bundle of joy was on the way earlier on Tuesday, writing, “I'd like to ask you all to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life. Shak”

Just last week, Shakira, 35, and her 25-year-old baby daddy announced they were throwing a “virtual baby shower” to support UNICEF and while they said they would “soon be welcoming” their first child, they didn’t specify when. The couple – who confirmed their relationship for the first time almost two years ago – reportedly had scheduled the birth so that Pique could make sure he was there to welcome the newborn.

Sounds like all went according to plan!

Jennifer Lopez Expresses Worries Over May-December Relationship

By Taryn Ryder | omg!

Jennifer Lopez is not oblivious about what her 18-year age difference with boyfriend Casper Smart could mean for their future together.

J.Lo tells People for their cover story this week how Casper, 25, “helped [her] heal” after her divorce from Marc Anthony. However, for the first time the “Dance Again” singer acknowledges she has doubts at times about their relationship.

"I ask him, 'Why don't you go find a young girlfriend and get out of here? What do you want with me?' And you think, 'How long is this gone be?' You think, 'Okay, in 10 years I'm going to be like this and you're going to be like that' and … men at that age are … I think all different things,” Lopez, 43, tells the mag. “The truth is we don't know what's going to happen. We're loving this moment right now. We make each other happy."

Lopez’s relationship with Casper certainly isn’t her first romance to make headlines. The “Parker” actress was of course once engaged to Ben Affleck and infamously dated Diddy.

"I don't regret those things – that's who I am," Jennifer says about her high-profile relationships. "But at least now I'm at a point where I have to recognize that these choices and things that happen are partly because of me and my decisions and I have to be more careful. So I am being more careful."

The Golden Globe Awards could have posed a potentially awkward situation for Lopez, with three exes — Affleck, Diddy, and Bradley Cooper — all in attendance. But the singer says on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in an interview set to air Wednesday that she was unfazed by it all.

“I see them a lot,” J.Lo responds when asked whether it was awkward to all be in the same room. “We’re in the same business. We run in the same circles.”

Lopez even gave Affleck a standing ovation when he took home the prize for Best Director for “Argo.”

“It was a great movie. And, we got you know, a lot of like… they were really hard on us in the press when we dated back in the day. On movies and things like that,” Lopez continued. “So it was a nice moment. It was a nice to see him have that moment. I was really happy for him.”

With Smart on her arm Sunday night omg! saw first hand how Lopez was able to handle her exes with ease. Lopez, Smart, and Diddy were all spotted together at the Weinstein bash and even kept the pleasantries going late into the night at CAA’s super private after-party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Lopez has certainly has a lot of topics on her mind leading up to the release of her new film, “Parker,” co-starring Jason Statham, out January 25. With the new season of “American Idol” beginning tonight, she admits to a bit of nostalgia about her former judge’s chair. “I am going to miss it,” she tells DeGeneres. “I love what I am doing but I am going to miss it. I just had a good time. I love the people there, Randy, Ryan, Steven, Nigel everybody behind the scenes …everybody. It was a nice little family.”

Speaking of family, Jennifer also expressed that she’d indeed like to have more kids one day soon. "I would love to have more," J.Lo exclusively told E!’s Marc Malkin. "I don't know if it's in the cards for me, but I would love it."

Whether or not those plans could involve Smart, we’ll have to wait and see!

Beyonce’s GQ Cover Leaks: Is This Her Sexiest Magazine Shoot Ever?

By Suzy Byrne | omg!

Va-va-voom!

Beyonce graces the cover of the February issue of GQ – and a leaked photo that hit the Web on Wednesday caused such a stir that the magazine released the official image.

The 31-year-old singer/actress – who gave birth to her daughter Blue Ivy a year ago – shows major skin in the men’s mag, posing in a cut-off football shirt and animal-print panties. Proving she is still bootylicious, she struck a sultry pose as well, holding her hair up while casting a seductive look.Though Jay-Z’s wife has been famous since her Destiny’s Child days, this could possibly be her sexiest magazine cover ever.

The megastar has stripped down for magazines on other occasions, but perhaps none more revealing than this, which is promoting her much-touted Super Bowl performance in February. Some other memorable covers featuring the “Dreamgirls” star include her wearing a cleavage-exposing wet tuxedo shirt on the cover of Vibe, appearing in a pink string bikini with see-thru gym shorts on the British FHM, donning a frayed ab-exposing top on the Brazilian Nova, and dressing in frilly lingerie on the Spanish DTLux.One thing is for sure: It’s certainly Beyonce’s hottest photo shoot since becoming a mom in January 2012. But make no mistake – she’s worked hard to regain her famous figure. Just four months after giving birth, she told the audience at a concert in Atlantic City, “Y'all have no idea how hard I worked. I had to lose 60 pounds. They had me on that treadmill. I ate lettuce!”

In addition to sweating it out on the treadmill, "I counted calories,” she told People last year. “I worked out maybe three to four times a week. I did a lot walking in the beginning and now I'm running. But I had to work my way up. I couldn't just go right from being pregnant to running." Additionally, "I lost most of my weight from breast-feeding and I encourage women to do it,” she told the magazine. “It's just so good for the baby and good for yourself.”

It was announced on Wednesday that Beyonce will be among the performers at President Obama’s upcoming inauguration, but on New Year’s Eve, she sang at a private Vegas concert. Designer Rubin Singer, who dressed her in a show-stopping custom gold unitard for the event, sings her praises in a new interview.

In addition to noting that she is lovely, polite, and generous, he told Glamour that Beyonce and her sister, Solange Knowles, are "the only celebrities that always dry clean and send clothes back in a box, with a handwritten thank you note. They are true ladies."
And she’s not a diva. "When you do a fitting with her, she doesn't keep you waiting half a day like some celebrities do," he says. "When she's there, she's present and honest and grateful."
