According to the personal trainer who's suing the R &; B superstar for more than $26,000 in unpaid services. Cindy Percival is "Going Hard" and filed a lawsuit last week in Los Angeles Superior Court stating that she was never paid for working solely for Rihanna in September and October 2009. 

"She was made exclusively available to Rihanna," Percival's attorney, Scott Fischer, tells E! News. "She essentially stopped seeing her other clients and devoted her time to being available to Rihanna whenever she wanted to be trained. Some of that .Percival worked with the Rated R singer for two years prior to those two wageless months and never had a problem getting paid, Percival says, adding that he doesn't know why his client had trouble all of a sudden.

Rihanna's camp has not yet commented on the suit.

New Video : Nivea - Love Hurts Ft. Lil Wayne

Forget child support I'll just spit some bars on your new track?? OK maybe not just like that but soon to be incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne shot 7 videos before turning himself in yesterday. 1 of the 7 videos was for his baby mama Nivea’s single “Love Hurts”. The Remedy LLC has this too say.

In the final days before reporting for his highly-publicized impending jail sentence, Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum rapper Lil Wayne has been very busy, squeezing in as much work as he can before his 8-12 month sentence at Riker’s Island. And his every move has been very well documented, from the 10 videos he shot with Young Money in one night, to his impromptu appearance alongside Young Jeezy during the Madison Square Garden stop of Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 Tour on Tuesday (Mar 2).

Wayne agreed to appear in the video on just two days’ notice, appearing on set for close to two hours of the nearly 12-hour shoot, less than a week before his scheduled sentencing. With Wayne now scheduled to be sentenced today (Mar 3), Nivea, the mother of Wayne’s three-month-old son, is one of the many artists offering words of encouragement:

Y'ALL GONE MAKE ME LOSE MY MIND...DMX Performing In Church

The Lord works in mysterious ways...DMX is putting on a "gospel rap extravaganza" at his church this weekend ... provided he doesn't get arrested in the next four days.TMZ has learned rapper, real name Earl Simmons, agreed to perform at the Morning Star Sanctified for a fundraiser this Saturday in Arizonia -- and he's doing it for free.

This is awesome. according to Pastor Barbara King, DMX and his family have been members of the congregation for eight months now and he really wanted to help raise money for repairs.

We're told the school holding the event is amping up security because they're unsure of what kind of crowd the convicted felon will draw. Tickets are going from $35-$40 a pop.

Weezy. F Baby Mama Power-Laura London & Nivea Hanging Out!!

Laua London and Nivea spotted hanging out, it appears Nivea has yet to lose her baby weight, it's not so easy when this is baby number 4 remember she has 3 kids with Producer Dream. I'm sure the whole conversation has to be centered around there baby daddy "LIL Wayne" pending incarceration. What does a parent say to a kid who has this many half/brother/sisters??

And a dad who is going to jail on weapon charges? And I'm sure most say some of his kids are too young to know, but his life is being document along with his repeated mistakes. Laura still looks gorgeous but Nivea looks like she has been hit by a "Dump Truck"....Hey I'm just saying!!

Dreamillan It's A Girl

According to People, the  R & B  singer  Christina Millian and her Platinum Producer husband "Dream" welcomed a daughter named Violet on Friday (Feb. 26). A friend says the baby has “a full head of hair.”

This is the first child for Milian, 28, and the fourth for The-Dream, 31, who has three children with his former wife,  and struggling R &B singer Nivea.

The-Dream is already said to be spoiling his new baby girl. “The baby already has a car, I got a house just for the baby—Christina can’t get in the baby’s car,” he told MTV News. “I’m giving all my attention that I usually give to Christina to the baby, all the flowers I usually give Christina, I’m giving them to the baby.”

The couple wed in September in Las Vegas after meeting a little over a year ago.
