I guess that Rihanna is ready for more fist fights because that's exactly what her dumb a*s will be receiving, except Chris won't beat her a*s on the street again, though, he'll keep the abuse indoors like he was prior to his latest incident.

This ho obviously won't press any charges. The only reason why I think she may have gone back to Chris is if the rumors are true and she is indeed pregnant. Either way, she has no self-respect. Good luck with the future beatdowns, RiRi!

Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the "Umbrella" singer on Feb. 8.

"They're together again. They care for each other," says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs's homes.

Adds the source: "While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves."

Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday one week ago. "He called to wish her happy birthday," a source told the magazine. "They've reached out to each other. It's been mutual."

Brown was booked by LAPD for making criminal threats but the case has not yet been presented to the District Attorney, who will ultimately determine which charges, if any, will be prosecuted.

This dude is NOT going to jail. Rihanna will NOT press charges and Chris Brown's female fans will think that abuse is something that one should be forgiven for because it is obviously acceptable. Great job, Rihanna! Great f*cking job.

"I am reading these stories today about how a judge ordered me to pay Kimora $40,000 a month in child support and I want to make something very clear.

Nothing was ordered, it was given. My kids have a fabulous life; they are exposed to a broad range of artistic and scholastic educational programs and I'm very happy to contribute to that. As long as I have it, they can have it. If I ever don't have it, I'm coming to live with them!"

Thanks Sweta!

I kind of love it! I used to think that Michelle Obama was hard on the eyes, but she does photograph very, very well. She's been looking better these days and she looked hawt a few nights ago at the White House Stevie Wonder concert.

Also, I dunno why her hand is on that table. It's bothering me and I'm not so sure I'll be able to get any sleep tonight. I MUST know why she posed like that!!!! Are they trying to impose some kind of cover up? Was she crunk? Did she lose her balance and need some support, what? All I know is that the First Lady looks great.

Michelle Obama's first official portrait as first lady was released by the White House Friday.

She appears in a Michael Kors black shift dress and pearls in the photo, taken in the famed home's "Blue Room."

Obama is also featured on the March cover of Vogue.

She's the second first lady -- after Hillary Clinton -- to appear on the front of the magazine.

"Dexter" actress Jennifer Carpenter and her soaking armpits posed with husband Michael C. Hall at a photocall for the new season of Dexter in Madrid, Spain.

Any man who does not notice that his wife is leaking right before his very eyes is obviously too into himself. Definitely not your better half at all. Then again, Jennifer should have realized that her sweater has its own built in sauna and changed clothes. It's a miracle her face isn't moist too.

Something tells me it would be entertaining, just a hunch.

I wanted to put up a picture of Ed when he was younger, glory days.

Ed is in ICU and his condition is "extremely serious." As one person close to him put it -- "It's not great, to say the least."

We've learned Ed McMahon has been hospitalized for nearly a month with pneumonia and other medical problems.

We're also told McMahon's condition is "serious" which is pretty obvious given his age -- 85 -- and the fact he has pneumonia.

I grew up listening to Ed's unmistakable voice and watching him on Johnny Carson. My dad would watch that show religiously and I think he's just great, Mr. Publisher's Clearing House rep and all. I'm hoping he can make it through this. Sending positive energy Ed's way.

This woman does not take a break ever. I respect her hustle and I love her songwriting talent, dancing and her drive. Beyonce is a great role model.

She really looks different in this photospread, much more like her mother and like she's been snacking on cornbread and rice and peas. She has thickness to spare, but she's fit and fierce.

On her and Jay-Z staying out of each other's business dealings:
"He was very successful before I met him and I was very successful before I met him. So we have so much respect for each other, and respect for each other artistically. We are very close friends, and I believe he is the ultimate artist and he has the same feelings for me".

Asked to describe herself as a wife:
"I don't know how to talk about it because I don't like to talk about it. But I have a great example of a great wife, and that's my mother. And I have great friends around me that have been married, so I'm lucky to have really good examples. And a great husband".

One thing she does to get on his nerve:
"I'm a little messy. Oh, yeah. Whenever I'm out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don't want to take care of anything. I drop it. I'm relaxed. I don't have any shoes on. No makeup. My purse is in the kitchen. I think that is most difficult thing for him. He's very, very organized. I'm extremely organized when I'm working, and I work so much that when I get home I don't want to think about anything".

As for what Jay-Z does that gets on her nerves, she laughs:
"I won't say".

The singer also reveals she's doing charity work such as working with women and children through shelters and organizations as well as mentoring and counseling them.

Asked about a quote from years ago where she said she wanted to retire by age 21. She says she could have retired at that age but now she has no intention of ever retiring:
"I've worked so hard on my craft, and I will never stop. I will never retire. I love it way too much."

Details on Jessica Simpson's concert in Salt Lake City, Utah, last night. She also gushed about her beau, Tony Romo.

"The thing that makes us lucky is being in love...I did find that unexpected kind of love," Simpson said, explaining that she developed a crush on Romo after watching him on ESPN.

Who is this bitch that's trying to convince us that her relationship is great, and why?! Jess won't convince us until she's married to Tony for at least a decade, then we'll talk about her love life. Until then, she's just a younger version of Jennifer Maniston, only with thicker legs and bigger bubes.

This is so disappointing! I just don't get it. How threatening or risque is the word "gay?" WTF? What should Oscar winners have said instead? If people can't say the word on television, I take it no one in these oppressed, homophobic communities wants to come out, either? This is all very sad. Harvey Milk didn't fight for this shit, and he should at least be honored by allowing Oscar winners to mention what it is exactly they have won their awards for!!!

Viewers in Asia saw a censored version of the Oscars after television chiefs removed gay references from Sean Penn's best actor speech.

The STAR satellite channel, which broadcasts to more than 300 million viewers in 53 countries, also cut the sound when Dustin Lane Black, who wrote the screenplay for Penn's film, Milk, addressed "all the gay and lesbian kids"

Gay Asians voiced their anger at the broadcaster, which censored its evening telecasts of the awards ceremony. "As a gay man, I am truly offended," Pang Khee Teik, a prominent Malaysian arts commentator, wrote in a letter sent out to several media organisations. "Stop censoring the words that describe who I am."

Pang said the move "sent a message … that gays and lesbians are still shameful things to be censored from the public's ears."

Users of Internet forums in Singapore and India also complained about the censored speeches. Jannie Poon, STAR's Hong Kong-based spokeswoman, stressed that the company had no intention of upsetting any viewers, but said it has "a responsibility to take the sensitivities and guidelines of all our markets into consideration."

For reality star Kimora Lee, it's Life in the Fab Lane, indeed. The divorce between Lee, 33, and Russell Simmons, 51, has been finalized. Simmons has agreed to pay child support for daughters, Ming, 9, and Aoki, 6, of $20,000 each per month until the girls turn 19.

Lee also won sole legal and physical custody of the girls, with monitored visitation.

Simmons also agreed to provide a new car, worth at least $60,000, for the children's use, until they turn 16. The car will be replaced every three years.

The papers also outline a meticulous, seven-page agreement on Simmons's visitation rights, giving him access to the girls every eighth week during their school year and on various holidays.

Kimora goes for the wallet and she'll stomp on your throat until you loosen your grip on it. Congrats! I wouldn't expect anything less form this super diva. I think some of the details of their agreement are too strict, but a golddigger gets what a golddigger wants.
