Rihanna Cancels Birthday Party, Chris Cancels NBA Appearance
Rihanna was planning on celebrating her 21st birthday on Feb. 20 with a big, splashy party in New York City.
Her music label has, understandably, canceled the pricey soiree, which it had been putting together for about a month. The bash for about 200 or so guests was to have had a carnival theme with various "sideshow" attractions.
Chris Brown has pulled out of his scheduled appearance Sunday at the 2009 NBA All-Star Game.
The 19-year-old had been tapped to introduce the players with Shaquille O'Neal before tip-off at Phoenix's US Airways Center an NBA spokeswoman confirmed.
The big-time basketball fan had also been planning to play Friday in the annual All-Star Celebrity Game, part of the weekend-long festivities.
As you know, Princess RiRi also had to cancel her Grammy performance because Chris hit her and bit her arms and fingers on Sunday morning.
Rihanna must be so humiliated, blaming herself for staying with an abusive boyfriend. Now the world is weighing in and she must feel so small. She's only 20 years old and her frightening incident is a life-changing experience. I hope she gets the counseling that she desperately needs after this. Her esteem must be pretty low right about now.
E!

I seriously had enough material on all the Chris/ Rihanna news updates to write about 6 posts. What the hell.
Agreed, he needs counselling and so does she.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most shocking stories I've covered in my 2 and 1/2 years of blogging.
It's absolutely crazy, Chris is part dog, biting Rihanna, and he has some horse chompers! I can't imagine how terrified she was. It's all so disgusting.
