After Rihanna and Chris Brown broke up the Bajan beauty claimed to be ready to move on, but sources are revealing that in the midst of all the heartbreak RiRi has been partying way too hard and making some other rather questionable decisions.

Just a few days ago an insider that was reportedly close to Rihanna said the songstress wished Chris and Karrueche all the luck and she had no harsh feelings towards the couple.

Well that doesn’t mean that it’s been all easy sailing for the “Stay” crooner either. She has always been a party animal but rumor has it that after the split she has turned the partying up a notch in an attempt to “party the pain away.”

“Pals have told Rihanna not to get upset about Chris and Karrueche,” the insider explained. “They think the best revenge would be living well and looking good, but so far Rihanna’s answer has been to party the pain away.”

Of course, nobody expected her not to pop a few bottles and party it up after becoming an officially single woman again, but even her other party hard friends are concerned that she’s going way too far.

“It’s understandable that she’d want to escape her feelings on this but she’s taking it too far,” the insider continued. “Everyone around her wants her to get some help – they’re genuinely worried about her.”

To make matters worse, she is still in the middle of her Diamonds World Tour and the chaotic ever-changing environment isn’t helping get things under control at all.

“She’s not in a good place and looks like she’s self-destructing,” the insider said. “Her friends are really worried about her and think she needs to take time out to detox and refocus.”

Well it seems like all the partying and chaotic nights have RiRi making some other bad decisions when it comes to social media and her wardrobe. While many of her fans embrace her half-naked (and sometimes completely naked) photos on Instagram, there was one unique article of clothing that even Team RiRi couldn’t get behind – denim thongs.

Chris Brown’s ex posted a picture of her bare butt in a pair of denim thongs and a shine on her body that suggested she had been sweating or was oiled up. We’re hoping it was just some body oils because sweating in a denim thong sounds like a guaranteed yeast infection.

In fact, the fashion choice was so disgraceful that Rihanna’s followers begged her to reconsider.

“OMG nooo Rihanna this is not chic honey,” one of her followers commented on the post.

Another playfully remixed her “Cake” song to comment on the size of Rihanna’s bum.

“Pancake cake cake cake,” the comment read. “Yall likin this on that team no ass huh?”

Honestly, as much as we hate the denim thong, Rihanna backside looked fantabulous.

Anyway, the fans clearly weren’t going to let their leader keep the picture up and eventually enough harsh criticism convinced the “Diamonds” singer to take the photo offline. Of course, it was way too late because it only takes a good two seconds for somebody to screenshot an image and have it forever.

The good news is that after showing off all her goodies in the tacky denim thong, she went for a move conservative look when she hit the stage in predominantly Muslim country Morocco.

Had she hit the stage in that denim thong we’re pretty sure the entire audience would have booed her off the stage, so instead she opted for a large white coat that resembled a doctor’s jacket.

While it sounds a little weird at first we actually like the look and it appears as if the entire ensemble was some sort of sexy twice on a mad scientist.

RiRi was dressed in a black crop top with black high waisted leggings before throwing on the oversized lab coat and a pair of sunglasses that almost gave the appearance of small goggles.

We could totally be over reading into this but seeing that the 25-year-old has certainly been quite the mad genius with her music lately the concept of a chic twist to the science lab wardrobe is pretty cool.

Will Smith and son Jaden Smith appeared on The Graham Norton Show in the UK on Friday to promote their new movie “After Earth” and surprised the entire audience with a live “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” reunion.

When Will appeared on the show last year, the audience was thrilled to hear him perform the theme song on the show so it was only expected that he would take things up a notch during his next visit.

So how could he possible top performing the famous “Fresh Prince” theme song? Bring along pals DJ Jazzy Jeff and Alfonso Ribiero and have everyone break out in the Carlton dance.

The sudden guest appearances were completely unexpected as Will and Jaden started the show by themselves sitting on the couch.

When the host asked the father-son duo if they ever worked together before, they playfully pretended like they never did such a thing and would hardly consider doing it again.

Next it came time for both of the rappers to give a little performance and once Will began beat boxing, Jaden jumped in with a rap to introduce himself.

It wasn’t long before the crowd was completely hyped up and Will found it to be the perfect opportunity to bring out his surprise.

He quickly introduced DJ Jazzy Jeff (Jeff Townes) who looked incredibly different since his “Fresh Prince” days before giving Alfonso the word.

The crowd erupted in cheers as the Carlton actor came out unto the stage and broke into that famous Carlton jig that we just can’t get enough of.

The crew also broke into the hilarious hip twirling dance that they did back in the 90s before they began filming each show.

The promotion trail didn’t stop there, however; after the show Will and Alfonso took to Boujis to watch Will’s oldest son Trey DJ that night.

The Fresh Prince trio all stepped out together and Alfonso brought along his second wife Angela Unkrich.

While both Will and Alfonso looked dapper in some tailored suits, Jazzy Jeff opted for a plain tracksuit which only emphasized just how much weight he had gained since the show.

The promotion trail continued as Jaden and his father then headed over to surprise a group of youngsters who were all involved in the Boris Johnson’s Leadership Club program.

While the 10-14 year olds were excited to see the “I Am Legend” actor, they didn’t really break out into full fan screeches until Will’s son hit the stage rapping.

The young group couldn’t contain their excitement as the young actor and part-time rapper did his thing.

After the fun performance both son and father offered words of wisdom and encouragement to the group and Will even thanked them for all their hard work.

“I think it’s hugely important to take these moments,” the 44-year-old actor said. “I want to thank you all for being an example for your fellow citizens so I congratulate you on that.”

The icing on top of the touching moment was to then have the Mayor of London Boris Johnson inform the rapping-acting duo that he has some musical talents as well.

He told the pair that he had written a rap song for the Queen’s jubilee.

“My first rap, I haven’t really set it to music yet,” Boris said playfully. “Perhaps with your help. I can send you a lyric. It was about the Queen’s Silver Jubilee.”

Being the witty comedian he is, Will jokingly responded by saying, “That was big in the hip hop community.”

While are aren’t too sure about the plot of the movie, we might pay to go see it just to get a taste of Will and Jaden’s on screen chemistry. Next time they should really consider doing a comedy flick together.

After Amanda Bynes was arrested on Thursday for hurling a bong out her apartment window and allegedly smoking pot in the lobby of her building, she was released the next day without bail and took to Twitter to deny every using drugs, owning a bong and her mug shot that revealed a short crop and apparently a bad nose job.

It’s obvious that Amanda’s downward spiral is far from over and now she’s walking on very thin ice with the legal system. While she was released from police custody hours after being arrested and without bail, the judge warned her that if she gets into any more trouble or fails to show up for her next hearing in July the consequences will be serious.

Despite the warning, the former child star sees no reason to take any of it seriously so instead of seeking help or trying to get her act together she just vented on Twitter and commented on her need for a new nose job.

“I only smoke tobacco I don’t drink or do drugs,” she tweeted late Friday night. “I’ve never had a bong in my life! I need to get another nose job after seeing my mug shot!”

By the way, whether or not it was a bong (which we believe it was) has little to do with her charges. While the actress claimed it was a vase she hurled out the window and not a bong, throwing a vase out an apartment window is still reckless endangerment and had it hit somebody her charges would have been much worse.

An insider, however, claims that there really isn’t a case against Amanda because the only proof they have is that she’s a little crazy.

“She was acting crazy, but there is no law against being crazy in the United States and they can’t hold you for that,” the insider explained.

The insider also addressed rumors that Bynes is suicidal and needs to be watched closely or she may bring harm to herself or others.

“She is not suicidal, and not considered to be a danger to herself or society,” the insider added. “They really tried to find a way to hold her, but no avail. Amanda isn’t a dangerous girl, she seems desperate for attention and really acting out.”

Well she isn’t too desperate for attention because she did everything she could to keep her court proceedings under wraps.

“I’m asking you I don’t want any pictures,” she said to one of the many photographers.

She then announced to the courtroom, “I don’t want any photos. No press are allowed in here.”

We aren’t sure whose attention she is seeking at this point because it’s not the media and apparently it isn’t her parents either.

Her parents have been reaching out to her consistently ever since her meltdown began but Amanda refused to listen to them or even move back home.

Now her parents, Lynn and Rick, are insisting that their daughter gets some type of psychiatric help.

Apparently, she has had poor mental health for quite some time now and things are just getting out of control.

“Amanda has been clearly using drugs, yes, including marijuana, but that is just the symptom,” an insider explained. “The fact is Amanda suffers from severe mental health issues that she refuses to accept.”

The insider went on to reveal that Bynes used to think there were tracking devices in the smoke detectors at home so she would place sheets over them. Her family also claimed that she often complains about hearing voices.

If that’s the case perhaps it is time for the judges to give Amanda some psychiatric help instead of just help for the drugs… regardless she needs to address both issues before things get much, much worse.

Jennifer Hudson will officially become the first “American Idol” alum to sit behind the judge’s panel while Kelly Clarkson has reportedly denied the opportunity to return to the show as a judge.

It seems like despite all the advice from the media Fox isn’t ready to pull the plug on “American Idol.”

While viewership has declined by more than 10 million viewers in the past two years, the show is still pushing forward for another season and switching up judges yet again.

Sources told E! News that Fox producers are aiming to keep the panel down to three judges and they hope to create a group of all “American Idol” super stars.

The former contestants are supposedly aiming to remind America that when it comes down to it “American Idol” is the only show to really producer singers that are successful even after the show – despite whether they win or not.

“It’s Idol alums bringing in the next generation,” one of the Fox sources said of the upcoming season.

Of course, this also confirms the rumors that all four of the previous judges have been given the boot.

While the producers are reportedly also going after Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, or Clay Aiken it seems like their biggest “American Idol” star is refusing to come back to the show as a judge.

A rep for Kelly Clarkson told The Hollywood Reporter that she will not be joining Jennifer Hudson as the judge’s panel next season – which seems like a smart move if you ask us.

Nobody really wants the responsibility of rescuing a legendary show that has recently started tanking and not to mention the fact that not all singers can take on such a serious time commitment and still focus on their music.

Quite frankly, we wish J. Hud would have declined the offer as well because it seems like she has been more focused on TV appearances and her Weight Watchers endorsement than actually singing.

We understand she has found other business ventures and while we support them all we do miss being able to look forward to a new chart topping Jennifer Hudson song.

You’re robbing our radios of Jennifer Hudson… you better not take Kelly Clarkson too Fox.

Anyway, it seems like things are playing in our favor as far as Kelly goes although the star herself has not come out to address the rumors.

All we know is, if Kelly has to take a break from making new music to judge “American Idol” we’re going to have some extremely quite and boring private shower karaoke sessions for the next few months.

As for producers aiming for Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken, we aren’t too excited about those choices. Clay Aiken has earned a reputation as a diva on set and while we like Adam Lambert he still scares us a little bit at the same time – not sure if he is the guy you want to be the face of a family program.

If Fox is taking any suggestions, however, we would like to take this time to cast a few votes for Carrie Underwood or Jordin Sparks to be on the panel. As for a guy nominee we’re going for Kris Allen for the simple fact that we need some eye candy on the show and we find him to be quite adorable. We wouldn’t even mind seeing Chris Daughtry on the show.

The only problem is we aren’t sure if any of the “American Idol” winners are fit to be the “Simon Cowell” of the show. While Nicki Minaj took the role of being the rude say it how you mean it judge, all of the “American Idols” are sweet hearts and we can’t see them telling someone that their singing reminds them of a cat being thrown off a building.

Michael Clarke Duncan’s grave site has been vandalized with racist graffiti and sparked a police investigation into what authorities are sure is a hate crime.

Of all the tombs in the world it seemed like every magazine, tabloid, and blog is shocked to find out that Michael’s was vandalized.

To make matters even worse, the racist symbol that was left behind on the tomb suggests that his grave was defaced simply because of the color of his skin.

According to TMZ a family friend noticed the racist cartoon on Michael Clarke Duncan’s tomb in Forest Lawn Cemetery during a short visit to his Hollywood Hills resting place.

The family friend is positive that the small cartoon is an image of a racist character known as a Sambo which has been used throughout history as a derogatory image for African Americans.

TMZ captured this exclusive photo of the grave along with the Sambo that was later removed:

Needless to say, his family was shocked to find the image on the tomb and nobody is even completely sure about how long it has been there.

Ever since the graffiti came to the cemetery’s attention they quickly removed the image and assured the family that they are wiling to do whatever it takes to catch who did this.

Meanwhile, Michael Clarke Duncan’s family is still furious to discover that anyone would do such a thing to their loved one, especially considering his kind spirit.

While nobody deserves to have their tomb tampered with after they pass away, the public seems especially offended by the fact that anyone would mess with MCD’s grave.

The “Green Mile” actor passed away last September at the age of 54 and was remembered by friends, family, and others in the industry as a gentle giant with a heart of gold.

During his funeral, Jay Leno remembered the 6ft 5in actor as the “guy who was happy for every job he got.” He also said that Duncan had a “pure heart and pure kindness.”

Fiance Omarosa and “Green Mile” co-star Tom Hanks were also there at the funeral and spoke very highly of Michael as they wiped away their tears.

Sadly the defaced tomb isn’t the first time someone has disrespected the Chicago native after his death.

Less than a week after he passed away a woman came forward claiming to be Michael’s daughter in what is believed to be a heartless get rich quick scheme.

She has since seemed to vanish from the public eye and everyone is simply hoping that Michael Clarke Duncan can finally truly rest in peace.

Mariah Carey suffered a wardrobe malfunction during her appearance on “Good Morning America,” but it seems like once the dress popped she couldn’t help but impersonate her “American Idol” rival Nicki Minaj.

When Mariah took to the stage in Central Park to perform for “Good Morning America” one thing was quite obvious – the dress was ready to let go at any given moment.

While M.C certainly has slimmed down quite a bit since becoming the face of Jenny Craig she may have miscalculated what her new dress size really is.

The dazzling pink Donatella Versace dress seemed to barely squeeze its way around Mariah’s curves and it was only a matter of time before the zipper finally popped.

The sudden wardrobe malfunction caused the powerhouse songstress to drop an expletive during the live broadcast as she exclaimed, “Oh sh**.”

Other than the fact that she may or may not have had a bit to drink before making her way unto the stage – which she has been known for by the way – things got a little strange when it came time for her to joke her way through the wardrobe blunder.

If you replay the clip and close your eyes for a moment you would swear that it was hip hop Barbie Nicki Minaj on stage and not the R&B butterfly.

“I love you Donatella, but it popped darling,” she said as she attempted to take on the same quirky accent that Nicki often uses in her music and during her time on “American Idol.”

Not to mention the way she dragged out the “a” the same way Mrs. Minaj often does.

Don’t get us wrong we certainly aren’t suggesting that anyone who says “darling” that way is impersonating Nicki but we can’t help but notice that ever since Carey joined Minaj on the “American Idol” judge’s panel she has been slowly but surely picking up some of her mannerisms.

The same accent that she ridiculed the rapper for using during the “American Idol” auditions now seems to be her new favorite thing to pull out during interviews and on air appearances.

Hey… don’t knock it until you try it right?

Anyway, the seemingly less than sober “Beautiful” crooner then hit a slow twirl to show the audience her popped dress while making the comment, “I just wanted to change the ensem.”

Of course, shortening the world ensemble to “ensem” was another Nicki-ish thing for her to do considering the fact that these are all things the R&B star never used to do before.

But hey, we’re not knocking her for it. If you’ve ever tried impersonating Nicki in the privacy of your own home you would understand why M.C couldn’t help but give it a go.

The real irony of the situation is that Nicki Minaj suffered her very own wardrobe malfunction during her live “GMA” performance as well. Perhaps if the two divas weren’t so busy arguing they would realize they actually have quite a few things in common.

Anyway, staff members quickly rushed on stage to try to fix the broken zipper while anchor Lara Spencer took the show into a break.

“What we’ll do is go to break, adjust, and when we come back we’ll talk to Mariah Carey about how gorgeous she looks,” Spencer said as she proved she was one anchor who knew how to roll with the punches of live TV.

As it turned out the zipper issue couldn’t be fixed and Nick Cannon’s wife had to simply change gowns.

Luckily she slipped into a more loosely fitting dress that would be free of any zipper-popping problems.

With the dress secure and the “girls” safely tucked away the mother of two went on to belt out her latest hit “#Beautiful” featuring Miguel.

Don’t ask us why the hashtag is in the title and no they don’t actually mention the hashtag in the song.

Amanda Bynes was arrested for reckless endangerment, tampering with physical evidence, and possession of marijuana at her New York apartment on Thursday after she threw her bong out the window when police came to investigate; and all this happened just days after she was kicked off a jet for trying to use Google as identification.

It’s no secret that Amanda has been off her rocker for quite some time now and it seems like all that crazy has finally caught up to her.

The 27-year-old former child star was arrested after her doorman called the cops on her for standing in the lobby smoking a joint.

When the police arrived Bynes had already retreated back to her apartment, but that wasn’t enough to keep them away because for some odd reason Amanda actually invited them into her apartment.

“Officers and building personnel went up to her apartment and she invited them in,” a rep for NYPD told US Magazine. “There was a smell of marijuana and a bong in the apartment, at which point Bynes picked up and threw out the window.”

That’s right. After opening the door for the police officers she rushed to grab the bong and hurled it out the window of her on the 36th floor.

In other words, Bynes is extremely lucky that her reckless endangerment didn’t turn into a battery charge because a bong falling from 36 floors up is obviously extremely dangerous.

Her decision to throw the bong out while police were clearly standing there watching her convinced the authorities that she wasn’t just dumb… she may really be crazy (Oh what a surprise).

So rather than going straight to jail, Amanda had to make a pit stop to the Roosevelt Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

While she did repeatedly ask the officers if they knew who she was, they rep for NYPD stated that she did not ever resist arrest.

As for her mental state, they aren’t commenting on that during this time.

Of course, the bong throwing wasn’t the only crazy thing Amanda has been up to lately.

If she knew what was good for her she would seriously consider deleting her Twitter ASAP because it seems to only be making bad situations much worse.

After In Touch Magazine published a story about the washed up star partying in her apartment and looking a complete mess, she took to Twitter to rant and accuse the magazine of photoshopping the images and lying about the story.

“I’m suing them,” she tweeted. “They f***ed with my photos!”

She had much more to say than just that. The long rant included her going on and on providing “evidence” that it wasn’t her in the photos.

“That’s not my bed! Those aren’t my toes! My toes aren’t pedicured,” Amanda said about the mag. “I just did an exclusive interview with intouch last week, now they bought fake altered photos by that ugly black man in the photo or someone who knows him.”

She went on to say that the magazine’s cover shot was an old pic from before she had surgery on her nose and accusing them of photoshopping her head on some other random woman’s body.

According to the lengthy rant, Amanda insists on suing because she cares about her image…. Really?

Where were we when Amanda started to care about her image? After she pierced her cheeks, threw in tacky extensions, and begged for the D from Drake on Twitter we pretty much assumed she was ready to throw her image out the window right along with that bong.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, however, she even tried to pick a fight with one of the Editors from In Touch, Jessica Finn.

“This ugly faced woman @JessicaFinnNYC is the one who bought fake photos of me & put that picture that looks nothing like me on the cover,” she tweeted.

She then took it a step further and tweeted @JessicaFinnNYC again to say, “Hey ugly.”

When Finn refused to entertain the crazy actress’s games Bynes turned to Perez Hilton.

“The only thing sadder than your ugly face still writing stories about me is the fact that you think I’d even step foot in a room with that ugly faced black man,” she tweeted to Perez.

It seems like whenever she is backed into a corner she just starts throwing out this whole “ugly face” comment. Jessica and Perez are only the latest to get the childish insult after Amanda threw it at Jay-Z not too long ago.

Either way, the magazine assures everyone that the pics are indeed not photoshopped and some sources have confirmed that that is actually Amanda’s apartment and the “ugly faced black man” is a friend of hers.

Ironically, while Amanda is trying to claim all the pictures of her online have been photoshopped she tried to use those same photos as identification to board a private jet.

When she tried to hop on a private jet from New Jersey to L.A. she was asked for identification but couldn’t provide it because her license had been suspended. So what was the next best thing?

Google!

Bynes told the pilot to Google her and that would be enough to let her on the plane. Needless to say, the whole “Google Me” approach didn’t work and the crazed starlet was forbidden from boarding the jet.
