Rihanna Goes Topless For A Nivea Advertisement

And the checks keep coming in. Rihanna‘s posed for Nivea to celebrate their 100-year anniversary and she looks absolutely stunning in the classic shot. The brands excited to have her as their “voice” and have stated, “We are excited to have Rihanna supporting us in our celebration and building a new generation of fans”. She looks a lot more than a “voice” to us!

 We love the fact that they’ve gone light with the makeup and kept the tone of the picture clean and simple.  The Rude Boy hitmaker star is fronting the brand's Skincare for Life campaign and will make her official debut for the company in May, coinciding with her Loud world tour kicking off, which is also sponsored by Nivea.

The 23-year-old singer had previously said she would only pose naked if it was done in a "classy way".

Da Brat -- Released from the Big House and stated 'Every Female In Prison Wanted Me'

Formerly incarcerated Lesbian rapper Da Brat  came out of prison bragging and tells TMZ she did NOT strike up a romance with another female inmate during her time behind bars ... though she insists everyone wanted a shot at her "goodies."

Da Brat -- who last week completed a three year prison stint for attacking a waitress with a bottle in 2007 -- tells us, "Every female in prison wanted me ... all of them wish they could have gotten these goodies."

Brat insists her goodies were never gotten. We call Bull Sh**t on that!

Brat also says ... some of her famous friends reached out during her time -- "Jermaine Dupri sent me the most money ... Omar Epps and his wife looked out. "

Lisa Raye, Katt Williams, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon also helped her out.


Brat is currently on house arrest for the next 3 to 6 months -- but tells us the first thing she plans on doing when she can leave her home is "making it rain at a club."

Pics Of Whitney's Daughter Bobby Kirstina Caught Snorting Cocaine

They say the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree and here's the proof. Bobbi Kristina, daughter to Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, has allegedly been photographed sniffing coke. The pictures have been published in the March issue of the National Inquirer.

This isn’t the first time a photo has surfaced of Bobbi Kristina involved in destructive behavior. Previously, a photo leaked of her with a can of the highly controversial alcoholic energy drink Four Loko. Unfortunately Bobbi Kirstina has been labeled a party girl, weed smoker and underage alcoholic.

 
It's clear that she's taking way too many notes from her parents, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, seeing as though she'll probably bring in her 18th birthday (March 4) smeared across tabloid headlines.  Let's just hope she's not the next youngster crippled by living fast and undisciplined.  

Bobbi Kristina addressed the photos on her Twitter account saying that she was set up, and that:

Bobby Kristina... the pictures a former very dear person to me did this. Set me up to make it look exactly what it looks like. God will smite them yes..But it’s really not what it looks like.. People will do anything for money which is extremely sad, and I’m very hurt by this.

I love my family so much. My mom just comforted me to the max, and I’m so thankful for her. Thank you so much lord for blessing me with an Phenomenal family and incredibly phenomenal mother. Thank you for giving me the strength to move forward and put things in the past.

Wondering What Beyonce Did With That Gaddafi Blood Money?

If you haven't heard about the hoopla about the Qaddafil monies, were you can take Beyonce name out of the hat of celebs who kept any of that evil mans blood money.

All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year's Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, over a year ago. Once it became known that the third party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause.

The money was donated to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, established in the wake of last year's devastating earthquake, and a spokesperson for the fund confirmed that it received the $1 million check in the weeks after the January 2010 earthquake.


Bey and a few other performers, including Nelly Furtado, Usher and Mariah Carey got heat for accepting money from the family, but the good news is Nelly and B already handed the mullah over to different charities.

Usher and Mariah Carey--we're waiting on you!

Pregnant Tia Mowry Loves The Movement In Her Belly

Really in the "Game" now new Mom  to be is Tia Mowry is so giddy about being a pregger. Now for most woman, pregnant may not always be the most comfortable time in a woman’s life, but for Tia Mowry the perks make the experience well worth the discomfort.

“You get special treatment, I’m not going to lie. Everyone is always making sure you’re okay,” The Game star, 32, told PEOPLE at the Essence Black Women in Television event.  And feeling your baby kick for the first time is one of the most amazing, beautiful things I’ve ever felt.”

The first time I felt him kick I was laying down in my bed watching A Baby Story and I felt [what I call a] ‘butterfly flutter,’” she adds. “I laugh with him when he kicks because he’ll tickle me.”

Mowry says she is now “obsessed” with the kicks and explains that if she hasn’t felt one in a while, her husband Cory Hardrict will try and motivate their future son.

“Sometimes my husband will just tap my belly like, ‘Hey! Are you in there?’” she said. “But he moves when I eat because he’s eating and loves it.”

Mowry and her husband have also been spending a lot of time researching baby names, and while she is not ready to reveal what’s on the short list, she has given some clues.

We’re definitely looking at ‘C’ names because my husband’s name is Cory.

We are so happy for the couple and congratulate them in advance!
