Rihanna's "We Found Love" Video...Controversial?

2011-10-20T12:06:00.002-05:00

Rihanna finally dropped her new video for her most anticipated song "We Found Love." "We Found Love" is the first single off her forthcoming 6th album "Talk That Talk" due in stores November 21, 2011. This new video definitely has people talking about what may have been reminiscent of a past publicized relationship. Painting the picture of a relationship fueled by drugs and nonchalant fun, British model/boxer Dudley O'Shaughnessy, her co-star in the video, is shown with blonde hair, fair skin, and an undeniable love for Rihanna. However, blonde hair raises the first red flag, connecting the dots to her famed ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. The video displays the couple making out almost everywhere, stealing from the corner store, smoking cigarettes, eluding to popping pills and ultimately having sex again and again. Any how, the video takes an unexpected turn. It seems the couple's relationship turns a bit physical. Arguments and small physical abuse is displayed as the script of love seems to flip unto the script of hate. The video ends with Rihanna storming out on her former love and ultimately being alone in a room facing a wall covering her head. Not the realistic image of "We Found Love" some may have thought of, this video is very graphic in nature and radical in persuasion. Numerous people suggest the video has everything to do with Chris Brown, pointing the finger at their past, and not giving the re-acclaimed star room for a break. Consequently, with his current album F.A.M.E. meaning "Forgiving All My Enemies," this haunting situation seems to be something Chris would simply like to put behind him. After all, Rihanna says, "We found love in a hopeless place..." which according to this video could elude to anything. Just take a look for yourself and see.

Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. Tour Gets Dirty Down South

2011-10-20T00:35:00.000-05:00

The most anticipated F.A.M.E. Tour finally crashed the dirty south, bringing Bow Wow, T-Pain, Tyga, and of course the one and only- Chris Brown! From teen girls to grown women, Chris Brown and his celebrity friends definitely brought out all the ladies. Packing out the concert venues, Chris Brown, Tyga, T-Pain and Bow Wow rocked the stage and showed the southern crowd they knew just how to get dirty. First up was Tyga, opening the show by running out to the crowd and joining his fans. Next up was Bow Wow, who isn't "Lil' Bow" any more! Now signed with Cash Money Records under Lil Wayne and Baby, Bow Wow debuted some of his new singles and gave the crowd a new sound to remember him by. T- Pain was up third, rocking the crowd as always with his jams like "Buy You A Drank" and his new hit "Best Love Song". Last but not least, Chris Brown sealed the win by living up to his phenomenal-performance reputation, hitting the stage with, "Say It to Me." Tyga joined Breezy on the hit singles "Dueces" and "Holla at me" performing with snapbacks and sick swag. Though Chris had many outfit changes on top of his strenuous choreography, he never lost a step or a breath, leaving the crowd yelling for more! Bow Wow also joined the singer on stage, performing "Aint Thinkin Bout You" off of the Fan of a Fan Mixtape. Chris Brown also performed some of his old hits taking his fans for a walk down memory lane! Breezy closed out the concert with "Beautiful People" one of the hottest singles off his F.A.M.E. album; then it was party time with the star himself, Chris Brown! Yes, party, party, party that's what celebs do... Right?

Gorgeous women, left and right packed The Drake in Houston, Texas, where we were able to catch Chris after his concert Sunday night. Sprinkles of men lingered here and there to distract and observe some of the women whose main focus was, C Breezy. Four tour buses pulled up and lined the main street in front of the club. People piled out of one tour bus, then two, then three, then the fourth but still no C Breezy. Finally after an entourage of about fifty people walked in and up the stairs to his exclusive V.I.P. section, along came Tyga. Numerous ladies looked around confused whispering, "Where is Chris?" He even had a "look a like" standing on a table in his section, which further confused some bystanders. However, when Chris Brown walked up the stairs of The Drake to his section, it was apparent to everyone. Ladies clapped and cheered while huge body guards cleared room and made way for the famous singer! A super packed house it was as Party Boy DJ Mr. Rogers payed tribute to Chris Brown playing a series of his songs, new and old. Women attempted to bum rush his section and some even shed tears as if they had seen an angel. Chris Brown partied on while smoking a cigar and nodding his head to the music! The F.A.M.E. Tour wrecked the dirty South and was definitely successful, for not only Chris Brown, but most importantly for his fans, alike!

Nicki Minaj Vs.Katy Perry

2011-10-14T00:44:00.000-05:00

While one should never be surprised by the outrageous style of Nicki Minaj, one may compare or contrast her style to that of some others. The term "some others" may be slightly used loosely, however. The look in this photograph taken the day she filmed the Ellen Degeneres show and is very reminiscent of the "California Gurl" herself Katy Perry. Though not exact in nature, both stars style are very similar, and one could probably expect to see the outfits on either! The only thing left to ask at this point is "Who Wore It Better?" Post a comment with your pick!

HeartBreak Drake... Heart Broken?

2011-10-13T14:38:00.000-05:00

While countless rumors have circled about Drake and Rihanna, Drake finally admits that those rumors may have held some truth. However, maybe not the fairytale ending most people would hope for. In an recent interview with Elle Magazine, Drake opens up about his "romance" with the world renown star Rihanna. While many guys are too cocky or proud to admit emotional pain, Drake comments on how things ended saying,

"At the time it hurt, but she didn’t mean to. I’ll never put that on her. I was hurt because I started to slowly realize what it was. I guess I thought it was more. That was the first girl with any fame that paid me any mind. You spend days reading about this person in the magazines. All of a sudden you have this number-one song and you’re at some birthday party and there she is. And you’re just some naive kid from Toronto staying in some shitty-ass hotel who got invited to this party on a whim. That’s just how it happened."

According to his new single "Headlines," it explains more of the "new " Drake saying that's just something "they know." Though it seems Drake may have gotten the short end of the stick with Rihanna, he continues to work on his second album, "Take Care" which will debut later this month also staying ready to find that "special someone" he can take care with.
