A New Rihanna??
*People.com has excerpts from Rihanna’s Marie Claire cover interview, where the singer reflects on her abusive relationship with Chris Brown and how she emerged stronger and happier than ever before.
“I couldn’t have been the woman I am, the friend, or the sister or the artist, or the role model I am today if I didn’t go through what I went through,” the singer, 22, tells then British Marie Claire for its December issue.
After the violent incident back in February 2009 that left her with physical injuries and her then-boyfriend Brown, now 21, charged with assault, Rihanna recalls: “I felt like an empty vessel.”
Speaking through tears, she adds, “It’s scary, you just lose touch of everything that you love and everything that you would normally do; how you would dress or how you would say something.”
On whether she resented the details of that fateful evening becoming public knowledge, she shakes her head.
“No. I needed that wake-up call in my life. That was the only way I would have gotten out of that relationship,” she says. It then took a while for the fun-loving singer to get back to her happy self, but eventually she did.
“I remember waking up one day and I knew I was over it,” she says. “I didn’t feel lonely. I felt like I wanted to get up and be in the world – that was a great, great feeling.”
Sounding and feeling positive, she says: “Once you’re back on your feet … if you ever make it back on your feet, that’s the ultimate achievement.”
Now in a happy relationship with Matt Kemp, 26, of the L.A Dodgers, Rihanna has wounds that might be healed – but is she in love?
“Yes,” she admits, with a smile. “He’s just easy and really kind.”
Currently putting the finishing touches on her third record Loud and filming her first feature film Battleships – Rihanna says there’s no hiding her new happy self.
“I feel like … I smile for real this time. When I smile, [people] can tell that it’s pure bliss and not just a cover up.”

Mariah pregnant!
Merry Christmas II You
It would seem that the rumors of Mariah Carey‘s “pregnancy” just won’t die down … because now instead of merely reporting that Mimi is pregs, some folks claim to know that she is not only pregs but pregs with a boy:
Congrats, Mariah! An insider tells HollyBaby.com that the diva and her husband, Nick Cannon, are expecting a son in March next year and are set to announce their happy news very soon! Mariah Carey is four months pregnant with her first child — a boy! — a source close to the star tells HollyBaby.com. The Grammy award-winning singer and her husband, Nick Cannon, have been tight-lipped about her pregnancy, but she is expected to make an official announcement in the next couple of weeks when she begins promoting her new holiday album, Merry Christmas II You (which is being released on Nov. 2). “She’s having a boy, but the reason that Mariah didn’t want to say anything is because she is 40, and she’s superstitious,” the insider says. “But she’s going to appear on Oprah and The View, so she’s planning on making the announcement soon” … Mariah took fertility drugs to get pregnant, according to the insider, who says, “the fertility drugs were the reason for her weight gain earlier this year.” She has also given up drinking alcohol — “she stopped drinking back in March or April this year,” the source says.
HMMM … considering how healthier Mariah has looked in recent months, it wouldn’t be too hard to believe that she has been doing fertility treatments but … I won’t believe Mariah is pregs until either she or hubby Nick Cannon confirm the news or she starts baby bumping out. So, yeah, let’s just toss this report onto the pile with the others. That being said, it is possible that some or all of this latest report is true so … we’ll just have to wait and see. What do y’all think … does this report of Mimi‘s pregnancy carry any more weight with you than the other reports do?

Ludacris – Battle of the Sexes (2010) - A review
Album Review: Ludacris – Battle of the Sexes (2010)
Battle Of The Sexes
Before one even approaches the content of Battle of the Sexes, there are already plenty of warning signs this won’t be a very considered project. Most notably, the album is no longer billed as a collaboration with Shawnna, Luda’s longtime female counterpart who recently jumped ship from DTP to T-Pain’s Nappy Boy. And outside of a few minor contributions she’s not really present on the album, either. In effect this nullifies the concept of the record; Monica is the female here that best translates a feminine perspective, but “Can’t Live Without You” may as well have been saved for a Monica album because she dominates the track and it doesn’t fit in with everything else here.
What’s on Battle of the Sexes shouldn’t be a surprise considering its stillborn execution. While the lead single “How Low” rides a high energy beat from T-Minus to immense club satisfaction, the rest of the disc follows a very familiar formula. The hooks are generally generic and childish, whether it’s the chopped’n'screwed hooks of “Everybody Drunk” and “My Chick Bad”, the chants of “I Know You Got a Man” or “Hey Ho”, or the chipmunk’ed Shawnna on “How Low” that constantly threatens to derail the track’s momentum. Generally speaking, the production doesn’t have much flair to it and isn’t eager to push Ludacris or any of his 18 guests outside the box.
Which brings me to the most unfortunate truth about Battle of the Sexes: Ludacris. Considering the dramatics involved in this album’s release, I could understand if Ludacris were saving himself for his solo release. But even if he didn’t consider Battle of the Sexes anything more than an entertaining side hustle after two serious projects, it’s hard to excuse him co-pting Nicki Minaj’s delivery on the “Intro” or borrowing Young Money’s patented passive lyricism with a “fill her up, balloons” pun on “My Chick Bad” that not only looks awful on paper, but sounds embarrassing as well. Nearly as embarrassing as the Flo Rida collaboration, but songs like “I Know You Got a Man” are in their own category of tedium and banality. Not to mention Flo Rida does Ludacris better than Ludacris does.
Of the 17 tracks on Battle of the Sexes (three of which are remixes), the “How Low” remix featuring Rick Ross and Twista is the lone essential track. “Sexting” is a humorous take on Tiger Woods’ situation but would have been better served as a mixtape highlight instead, and like Monica’s contribution “Sex Room” may as well have been a Trey Songz (whose winning streak continues) jam – preferably sans Luda’s verse. When was the last time you a track seemed better without a guest verse from Chris Bridges? Battle of the Sexes hits all the bases, and as solely a background CD for dull parties I suppose it does the job it was manufactured to do. But this is still a major disappointment for Ludacris rush job or not, and continues his run of uninspired muck since getting deeper into the Hollywood game. His aggressive Snoop Dogg act, relying on charisma and an increasing number of silly Minaj-like vocal effects, has slowly turned Ludacris into a parody of himself.
Pink Friday- By Nicki Minaj
A couple of artists that will be featured on Nicki Minaj's upcoming debut album Pink Friday (November 22nd) have been named & they come as no surprise. For one, we have Eminem, who finds himself (or, rather, Slim Shady) up against Nicki's alter ego Roman Zolanski on the Swizz Beatz-produced "Roman's Revenge". Also, in a recent Ustream session, Nicki revealed that a Drake collaboration is set for inclusion on the album. We should have a tracklisting for Pink Friday on Saturday (when the album becomes available for pre-order on iTunes).
In related news, Nicki was recently named the #6 Hottest MC In The Game by MTV, making her the first female to ever make the list. Congrats, HB!

Is Beyonce Pregnant??
Stop the presses! An aside – Does anyone say that anymore?? Anyway, it’s been reported that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are expecting their first child! According to the Daily News via UsWeekly, “The 29-year-old singing sensation is in her first trimester. And it doesn’t sound like the bundle of joy was necessarily planned.”
In addition: “B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn’t ready to be a mother just yet,” one source told the magazine. “She really wanted to get her album done and tour the world again.”
So all sounds great, right??? Maybe not. Tina Knowles is saying, “Whoa! It’s simply not true”. Could the soon to be G-ma be the lsat to know? We doubt it but will most definitely know for sure soon enough.
