Rihanna ::Sued her former accountants

Rihanna sued her former accountantsThursday, blaming them for tens of millions of dollars in losses, shoddy bookkeeping, a failure to recommend she trim expenses when a 2009 tour was losing money and an ongoing audit by theInternal Revenue Service.

The lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan sought unspecified damages against New York-based Berdon LLP and two accountants. A Berdon spokeswoman said the company had no immediate comment.

The singer, suing under her real name, Robyn Fenty, alleged through her attorneys that the defendants drained tens of millions of dollars from revenues while she launched four national and international tours over a five-year period.

By the "Last Girl on Earth" tour in 2009, Rihanna learned that the tour had managed "significant net losses" despite robust revenues, though the defendants had managed to pocket 22 percent of the tour's total revenues while paying Rihanna just 6 percent of revenues, the lawsuit said. It said Berdon's unusual accounting practice of paying itself a percentage of gross tour income as commissions left it no incentive to "counsel" Rihanna to reduce expenses or put in place appropriate financial controls.

The lawsuit alleged that the practice of paying itself commissions on revenues was not standard in the accounting and business management industry and created a clear conflict of interest.

Rihanna's lawyers also blamed the accounting firm for an ongoing IRS audit of her tax returns, saying she was forced to spend significant resources to correct errors resulting from negligence.

Since firing the firm and its accountants in September 2010, Rihanna's fortunes already have reversed, the lawsuit said. The "Loud" tour stretching from June 2011 to December 2011 produced a net profit equal to more than 40 percent of total tour revenues, it added.

According to the lawsuit, the singer hired the accountants in 2005 when she was a 16-year-old from Barbados launching her career. She alleged that they repeatedly breached their agreements, engaged in misconduct and malfeasance, paid themselves excessive commissions, created entities without regard to their effect on her taxes and failed to document revenue and expenses and implement a proper budget.

The lawsuit also blamed the company for Rihanna's 2009 purchase of a new home, saying competent business managers would have told her that her tour was losing money and that it would not be advisable to buy such an expensive home at that time.

Last year, Rihanna sued a real estate company in Los Angeles over the $6.9 million purchase of a hillside home in 2009, saying it had serious structural defects that made it inhabitable.

Rihanna :: Dating New Girl

The "Talk That Talk" singer tweeted on Thursday night that she was going on her first date in nearly two years — and then she showed up at Santa Monica, California, restaurant Giorgio Baldi hand-in-hand with a gal pal, Melissa Forde. After dinner, the ladies partied on at Hollywood nightclub Roxbury. Throughout the "date," Rihanna, who wore a long white flowy dress, kept her more than 17 million Twitter followers up to date on all the action with cryptic posts. In her first, along with a photo of herself and Forde cheek to cheek, she wrote, "My lover for the night."

 An hour later, she tweeted, "I'm not living right, if you're not by my side." After multiple posts about 420 (slang for marijuana) and a photo of of stockings and garters under Rihanna's dress, she wrote, "Beautiful is great, submissive is even better," adding a hashtag that said #marryME." In a follow-up tweet, the 24-year-old quoted a Lil Wayne-Drake song, writing, "But she bad ... So maybe she won't ... But s**t, then again maybe she will." So is Rihanna switching teams? Who really knows. She and Forde are longtime BFFS and Forde has accompanied the singer all over the world as her personal assistant on her tours and family vacations. Because of that, the two have been dogged by lesbian rumors for years, even though Rihanna has publicly been with men, including Chris Brown, Dodgers star Matt Kemp, and Drake. The ladies also have matching tattoos, which read "never a failure, always a lesson," which they got after Brown infamously beat Rihanna in 2009. With all the bad luck she's had with men, maybe Rihanna is better off with a woman.

Rihanna :: New Romance

Rihanna and Chris brown collaborated on a song together. They tweet back and forth. She insists on talking to him, public opinion be damned. So are Rihanna and Chris Brown dating again ... or milking the speculation for all it's worth? Brown's appearance on the remix of Rihanna's song "Birthday Cake" ramped up rumors that they've gotten back together after his horrific assault on her in 2009. They've kept the door open to interpretation. "The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently," Rihanna told the May issue of Elle, regarding those who've criticized her decision to have Brown on "Birthday Cake." She added, "I'm still going to do what I want to do." There are advantages to firing up her fans, Us Weekly's Justin Ravitz said. "I think she likes to flirt with danger. It makes her seem more mysterious," 

Ravitz told ABCNews.com. "Whether this reunion is real or imagined, it's going to keep them both in the public eye. I don't know if this is to boost album sales, I don't know if this is because she's not even 25 yet and she doesn't know what she's doing." Her sales are through the roof -- as of January, Nielsen Soundscan said she had sold more digital singles than any other artist in history. It's also worth mentioning that Brown's fifth album is due to drop in May. Making nice with the ex he tried to force out of a moving car (read the police report) might seem like a nice way to boost downloads. We've seen this kind of thing before. The history of Hollywood hookups is rife with examples of couples who came together -- or at least let relationship rumors linger -- at convenient times in their careers.

Rihanna :: Newest Tattoo

Rihanna can't stop, won't stop when it comes to loading up on tattoos! For her latest ink, she went to her favorite NYC tattoo artist, Bang Bang, and his soon-to-be-opened tattoo parlor on the Lower East Side. While there on Thursday, the "We Found Love" singer opted for a tiny cross on the left side of her collarbone. "We cut the color with water, so it'll end up being light  like the "rebelle" tattoo on her neck,"

Bang Bang, 26, describes to Us Weekly about the star's new ink. He adds that she decided to place her tattoo on her collarbone because it's easy for her to hide with a necklace but also can be in plain sight.

"She loved it," Bang Bang, who has done around 12 of her various tattoos including the "Shhh" one on her finger, tells Us. "She always flips out [when it's done] and jumps up and down like a 16-year-old girl getting her first car."

Rihanna :: Musical Reunion with ex Chris Brown

Pop star Rihanna called her recent musical collaboration with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown "innocent," after critics and fans split on the duo working together three years after Brown assaulted the pop star. "We did two records, one for my fans and one for his fans, and that way our fans can come together. There shouldn't be a divide, you know, it's music and it's innocent," Rihanna told Ryan Seacrest on his syndicated morning radio show on Thursday. Rihanna provided vocals on a remix of Brown's new dance song "Turn Up The Music" while Brown lent his voice to Rihanna's sexually-charged "Birthday Cake." Both tracks were released last month after the Grammy awards on February 12. 

"I reached out to him about doing "Birthday Cake" because that's the only person that really it made sense to do the record, just as a musician, despite everything else, that was going to be the person," Rihanna told Seacrest. "I thought about rappers and I've done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown, so I wanted him on the track," she added. Brown nearly derailed his career three years ago on the night before the Grammys, after he was arrested for beating up his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. Since that time he has tried to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of fans with mixed results. The musical reunion of Rihanna and Brown had social networks abuzz as fans split on the pair working together with some making cynical comments, others calling it a publicity stunt and many embracing the new songs. Brown has yet to comment openly on the collaboration.

Rihanna :: Fitness Secrets

No matter what she wears and where she is, singer Rihanna always manages to grab attention from onlookers owing to her toned arms, taut midriff and slender pins. Now you too can get the attention-grabbing physique with the exercise regime followed by the 23-year-old Barbadian singer. “She’s got such a beautiful body naturally,” People magazine quoted The Revolution’s Harley Pasternak, creator of the 5 Factor program that has helped Rihanna maintain her svelte figure, said. “With someone like her, it’s about the fine tuning,” 
he said. When the ‘Unberella’ hitmaker is on the road, she does her best to squeeze in at least three workouts a week, at least 25 minutes a day. 

But once settling in one location, she gets down to serious work. “She’s been really focused and stepped it up,” he said. Rihanna increases her sessions to five days a week and bumping her cardio to a total of 30 minutes a day from 10." Biking or cycling are part of her regular cardio routine, as well as exercises like jumping rope without a rope, stationary jogging and jumping jacks. “She can do those in a hotel room or backstage before a show,” Pasternaksaid. Thought she does her best to stick to a diet of five small meals a day, the ‘You Da One’ singer still “gets salty cravings”, he said, which she knocks out with Pasternak’s high-protein, bean-based 5 Factor chips. “They’ve been a big hit with our music and entertainment clients,” he said. The trainer’s team also works with other stars such as Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. “She looks amazing. “She keeps getting better and better!” he said for Rihanna.

Rihanna ::Slams Fashion Magazines

Singer Rihanna didn't shy from calling them on it (while calling them a few no-no words of her own). In the controversy’s wake, the editor who approved the story has since resigned from her post. Jackie magazine published a statement announcing this news on their Facebook wall yesterday. 

 "I hope you can read English," Rihanna tweeted to Jackie editor-in-chief Eva Hoeke addressing the article, "because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print! There are 1000's of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That's your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past! And while it's unclear whether Rihanna had a translator on hand to help her through the finer points of the piece, the headline alone could have prompted the controversy. The story ran under the title: "De N***gabitch." 

 According to a statement posted on Jackie magazine's Facebook page, readers had been expressing their disgust with the headline online prior to Rihanna's response, and Hoecke addressed the situation through both her Twitter account and a statement published on Facebook in which she apologized for the "slip" and said that the "title of the article was intended as a joke -- it was a bad joke, to say the least." She continued: "Furthermore I hope that you all believe there was absolutely no racist motive behind the choice of words. It was stupid, it was naive to think that this was an acceptable form of slang -- you hear it all the time on tv and radio, then your idea of what is normal apparently shifts  but it was especially misguided: there was no malice behind it." Though Rihanna has, as evidenced above, already shared her strongly worded opinion of the situation, a recent Facebook post by the magazine invited the singer “to share her feelings and thoughts on the article in the next issue.”

Rihanna :: Song Banned in France

Rihanna's 'We Found Love' music video has been banned in France. The video - which details a destructive relationship between a couple, played by the Barbadian beauty and model Dudley O'Shaughnessy - can only be broadcast after 10pm because their love scenes were deemed too "suggestive" to watch before the watershed. The promo has previously been slammed after it appeared to allude to the abusive relationship Rihanna had with her former boyfriend, Chris Brown, who pleaded guilty to assault in 2009, by showing the 23-year-old star and Dudley raving with friends, fighting and getting intimate with one another.

 Filming of the controversial mini-movie also angered a farmer in Belfast, Northern Ireland, earlier this year when he kicked Rihanna and her film crew out of his field because he was unhappy with her skimpy outfit. Devout Christian Alan Graham said at the time: "If someone wants to borrow my field and things become inappropriate, then I say, 'Enough is enough'. "I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends. Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God." However, Rihanna is proud of the promo, tweeting recently: "We've never done a video like this before. This is probably one of the deepest videos I've ever done. It's all about love and love being like a drug. You definitely get that from this. "The good feeling of it and the dangers of it. That's what this video is about."

 The singer also requests an "ice-blue" colour scheme and "no sequins" on any of the pillows or sofas, and most importantly the bathroom must be "spotless" and the toilet given a "deep clean".
