| Posted: 06 Jul 2012 08:57 AM PDT Rihanna trades in her all black everything and tomboyish style she's been rocking lately...for the white hot August 2012 issue of HARPER'S BAZAAR. See Rihanna donning a series of designer gowns and suits, and honoring her Gran Gran Dolly inside.....
Rihanna, rocking a cutaway Calvin Klein Collection dress and Neil Lane jewelry above and on the cover, may be dealing with the death of her Grandmother. But in HARPER'S BAZAAR, she seems to be figuring out her life the way she wants to. The vulnerable rock star reveals that she's rebellious, is scared of falling in love again, and wants her ass back. Here's a few highlights: On her rebellious behavior: "I'm rebellious through my music, through my fashion, tattoos, and my hair. I have been conservative in my love life… it's pretty much nonexistent. If I come across someone who I find really cool, I'll hang out. But the minute I find that we’re getting too close I just—I don't let people in." On Chris Brown's "Birthday Cake" remix: "The fans could have said, 'We don’t want anything to do with it." I understood that people had every right to be concerned about it. But I didn't see it that way because I'm in a different place." On being fearful of love again: "When I was in love, I fell so hard. I was really, really, really in love. The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I'd feel that pain in my life. I'm afraid of feeling that again." On her new extra slim body: "I don't know if there's something going on with my body right now, but I’m eating everything in life!" she laughs. "I miss my ass. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it's not living up to its full potential right now."

| Posted: 05 Jul 2012 09:02 PM PDT Rihanna's lawyers just filed a major lawsuit in Manhattan on Thursday. Find out the whopping allegations that say her accountants stuck her for her millions, plus more pics, video and details fro Chad & Evelyn Johnson's wedding in St. Marteen.... Back in 2009 while Rihanna was trotting around the globe on her Last Girl On Earth tour, she hired New York accounting firm Berdon LLP to handle her money business. And now, she says they swindled her out of millions and are still costing her a serious amount of cash because they caused her to be audited. E! Online reports that in the court docs, Rihanna blames Berdon for not informing her that concert costs were becoming overwhelming--and she was never advised to pull back on the spending. Why? Because some type of way, the company allegedly made a way for them to receive 22% of her concert profits. So they wanted the tour, which grossed $40 million, to continue. And Rihanna, herself, only received 6%. The "Birthday Cake" singer accused the company of becoming lazy with her tax paperwork from 2008-2010, which has now caused her to be audited by the IRS. She also accuses them of giving her bad advice, like purchasing that $6.9 mill home in L.A. that ended up being a money pit that she had to quickly sell.
Ri Ri is suing for breach of contract and negligence. The upside? Her new accounting firm seems to be working out great since her profits are up by 40%.
In other news, Chad and Evelyn Johnson just posted their first pic as a married couple. And their 4th of July nuptials were anything but perfect. NFL baller Chad took over wife Ev's Twitter account for a few days leading up to the wedding, so she appeared today, bathing suit clad, saying hello to her followers from her Mrs. Johnson post-wedding pool party in St. Maarten. She also tweeted about the earthquakes and storms right before the nuptials:
And a pic of her fat wedding ring and band from Jason of Beverly Hills...while still in bed. Chad posted a video that he snapped just minutes before walking down the aisle. Dude was mad nervous. Of course no pics or video of the actual ceremony. We'll have to wait til their "Ev & Ocho" show airs for that.... Pics: Pacific Coast News/Twitter  |

In other news...... Kris Humphries' ex-girlfriend, Myla Sinanaj has announced to friends that she is pregnant.....and Kris is the father! According to TMZ, shocking news was confirmed by friends of Myla, who say she's 3 months pregnant. I'm sure Kim Kardashian's lawyers will have a field day with this one! Although the former couple has been talking regularly, sources said Myla has not broken the news to Kris yet. Gess he knows now. Also, for now, Myla says she will raise the baby alone because she's still hurt that Kris trashed her in the press. This is foolery...
