RIHANNA UNVEILS NEW "FRUITY, FUN, FLORAL", FRAGRANCE RIRI

After going Rogue, Rihanna is showing a softer side with her newest fragrance, the aptly-titled RiRi. The pop superstar looks pretty in pink, donning pearls and big hair, in the glamorous campaign, inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s pink outfit in Gentleman Prefer Blondes.
According to Hollywood Life, the RiRi scent is a “fruity, fun floral,” as opposed to her last fragrance, the darker, edgy Rogue.

It features notes of passion fruit extract, rum absolute, sparkling cassis, and Italian mandarin. The perfume will come in three sizes of Eau de Parfum when it arrives in September.

RiRi follows her previous fragrances including Rogue Love and Rogue Man in 2014, Rogue and 777 Nude by Rihanna Diamonds in 2013, Nude and Rebelle in 2012, and Reb’l Fleur in 2010.

JENNIFER LOPEZ LOOKS STUNNING AS SHE CELEBRATES HER 46TH BIRTHDAY

This is how we want to look when we grow up!  Still stunning: Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 46th birthday in a rather racy ensemble on Friday night.  The Grammy winner looked fierce in a racy black Bao Tranchi cutout dress with an open back and sheer paneling on the sides to show off her underwear-free booty. 
Lopez managed to distract fellow guests from the fact that she had turned another year older by wearing the outrageously racy dress.
The singer hit the nightclub's dance floor and enjoyed a cake from her longtime manager Benny Medina. "She was dancing all night, and she looked amazing," a source tells Us Weekly. 
At one point guests were incessantly taking photos of Lopez, and her on-off love Casper Smart stepped in to save her. The source tells Us that Smart told the guests to leave Jenny From the Block alone so she was free to dance and have a good time. 
#BODYGOALS
 She posed with pals including French Montana and Natasha Bedingfield in a VIP area before heading out to party. Who knew they were such good pals?

In less than five decades the star has managed to conquer everything from the album charts to the Box Office.

R.I.P. BOBBI KRISTINA DEAD AT 22

It is with heavy heart that were reporting this story.  GONE TOO SOON...Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's daughter Bobbi Kristina has died at the age of 22.

She passed away outside Atlanta in the hospice care facility where she's been since June 24 ... when her family decided to take her off all meds. As we first reported, a specialist had told them there was no chance of recovery. 

Bobbi Kristina was found submerged in her bathtub on January 31, and police believe she was underwater for anywhere between 2 and 5 minutes. Paramedics were able to resuscitate her, but she was in a medically induced coma and placed on life support. 
Ultimately, Pat Houston and Bobby -- co-guardians for Bobbi Kristina -- had to make the decision to withdraw medications. It was a rare moment of agreement for the Browns and Houstons ... who had battled about BK's condition throughout her hospitalization.
TMZ broke the story ... the D.A. has been gearing up for a murder case, and her boyfriend Nick Gordon would be their first person of interest. Police said there were bruises on Bobbi Kristina's face and body after Gordon and a friend, Max Lomas, found her in the tub.

Of course, Whitney died from a drug overdose in 2012 while sitting in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

R.I.P. ANGEL!
