Rihanna Calls Eminem A ‘Real’ Man — Dissing Drake & Chris Brown
Rihanna is loving the way Eminem raps! Their Monster tour launched on Aug. 7 and a source tells HollywoodLife.com that the tour with Em is giving her life, especially since Eminem is so mature and “tells it like it is and how it is.”

“He’s [Eminem] the realist. She says it’s been a while since she’s been on stage with a real champion who gets it in a long time,” our source spilled.

Wow — Rihanna is throwing serious shade at Drake and Chris! The source also revealed that Rihanna thinks Drake and Chris are “just jealous” because they can’t keep up with her.The jealousy part probably comes from Drake’s recent cruel diss towards Rihanna. He associated her with the devil at his Toronto concert!

Drake set fire to a possible reconciliation with Rihanna on Aug. 4 during his OVO Fest performance of “Days of East.” Drake put up on screen images of a flaming Rihanna with three fiery sixes.

HollywoodLife.com learned EXCLUSIVELY that Drake’s diss was his way of getting back at Riri for shooting down his request to reunite.

“Drake was totally lashing out at Rihanna, he wanted to get back together with a little while back and she shot him down so now he’s being all bitter about it,” a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

No wonder Rihanna is loving being around Eminem so much! With Drake’s immature act in concert and Chris having commitment issues in another relationship, Rihanna needs a solid and stable man to hang around and perform with.

Rihanna and Eminem’s Monster tour will end on Aug. 23 in Detroit.

HollywoodLifers, what do you think about Rihanna calling Eminem a “real man?” Is it a total dig at Drake and Chris Brown? Let us know!

RAP RELEASE DATES: NAS, KID INK, CHRIS BROWN, JUVENILE

Nas gets a release date for "Life Is Good" along with Kid Ink's "Up & Away," while Juvenile and Chris Brown get the baby bump to June and July, respectively.

While lots of artists stay on everyone's radar, the man of the moment is Nas. Mr. Jones has the ability to keep coming back whenever he pleases. First it was the release of the "The Don," then he dropped the follow-up to his classic "Black Girl Lost" with "Black Girl Lost Pt. 2."

Just last week we got another track "Daughters." With all of this new music going on, Nas also announced that his tenth studio album Life Is Good will be dropping on July 17th. When Nas returns, he makes an impact. So mark that date, as it is also the tentative date for French

Montana's Excuse My French. While constantly getting moved around, Juvenile's Rejuvenation is now showing a June 19th date, one week after the new entry of Kid Ink's Up & Away. If you were hoping for a May release of Chris Brown's Fortune, you'll have to wait on that. CBreezy pushed his album to July 3rd, one day after what is supposed to be a Monday release for 50 Cent's upcoming album. Stay tuned for details on that.

Nas says that he "loved" collaborating with Nicki Minaj for her sophomore album.

When Nicki Minaj's tracklisting for her sophomore set Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded released late last week, some were surprised to see Nas included on a song called "Champion," also featuring Young Jeezy and Drake.

Speaking with MTV News, Esco revealed that the Harajuku Barbie reached out to him for the song, which will surface on the April 3rd release. "Nicki hit us up. I got love, so it was nothin' — I did the record," he said. "It's Hip Hop music; music is music. If I feel it, I can get on it. I heard the track, I felt it, I loved it."

Additional guest stars on the LP include 2 Chainz, Cam'ron, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. She most recently released the RedOne-produced single "Starships" and filmed its video.

I REACHED OUT TO CHRIS BROWN... 'CAUSE HE'S HOT - RIHANNA

 Screw the brutal, face-smashing beating in 2009 ... Chris Brown is the HOTTEST R&B artist out right now -- which is why Rihanna says she reached out to CB to collaborate on two new songs.

Rihanna called Ryan Seacrest this morning on KIIS FM, explaining her choice to record two duets with the man who brutalized her three years ago -- "I reached out to him about doing ‘Birthday Cake’ because that’s the only person that really -- it made sense to do the record. Just as a musician -- despite everything else -- that was going to be the person."

She said, "I thought about rappers, and I’ve done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown. So I wanted him on the track."

It's not personal ... it's business ... right?

RIHANNA, CHRIS BROWN PLAN SECRET WEDDING?

 According to reports gathered by Nigeriafilms. online, Chris Brown is reported by an American magazine, Star, to be secretly planning to take former girlfriend, Rihanna to the alter.

The magazine reported that an insider hinted that both are getting ready to say I do to each in a private marriage ceremony.

According to the paper, Chris Brown proposed to Rihanna in November last but requested some time to give an answer. She reportedly later agreed to marry Chris Brown late February.

Star reported that Rihanna's former nanny, Sharon Bellamy-Thompson confirmed that both will fly to Los Angeles in late March for a top secret occasion.

Rihanna and Chris Brown has been getting close lately. They recently did a duet and there are rumours that both have started dating again.

Both singers called it quit after Chris Brown allegedly physically assaulted Rihanna while they were still dating. The assault resulted in some facial cuts.

CHRIS BROWN ALL SMILES AFTER ALLEGED PHONE-SNATCHING

Chris Brown's not so camera shy after all -- just hours after he allegedly snatched a girl's phone for snapping a pic of him ... the singer posed for a photo with some female fans in Miami ... BEAMING HIS FACE OFF.

The pic was snapped outside the valet after the Heat/Magic game on Sunday -- and the lady on the right tells TMZ, CB was extremely nice during their brief interaction.

Chris had left American Airlines Arena early to beat the crowd -- but our source stopped him to say she's a big fan. When he heard this, they chatted briefly and Chris agreed to take the picture.

If you notice, CB's wearing the same chain he wore to Miami's Cameo nightclub the night before (below) -- when he allegedly snatched the girl's iPhone.

CHRIS BROWN ACCUSED OF STEALING FAN'S iPHONE

Chris Brown has been accused of angrily snatching some girl's iPhone outside a nightclub in Miami this weekend ... and driving off with it -- law enforcement tells TMZ.

A rep for the Miami Beach PD tells TMZ, 24-year-old Christal Spann filed a police report Sunday (below) for "robbery by snatching" -- claiming she followed Chris and rapper Tyga out of Cameo nightclub early in the morning (see photo above) ... and snapped a picture of Chris getting into his Bentley.

Christal told cops ... Chris flipped out when he saw her camera phone-- then grabbed it through the car window, saying, "Bitch, you ain't going to put that on no website."

According to the police report, Chris then rolled up his window and drove off -- $500 iPhone in hand.

A rep for the Miami Beach PD tells us, no arrests have been made and no warrant has been issued yet. We're told the incident is currently under investigation.

BTW, Chris is still on probation for the Rihanna beating and if he's arrested he could be thrown in jail on a probation violation.

RIHANNA CELEBRATES 24TH B-DAY WITH TWO CHRIS BROWN REMIXES

Bringing a close to her special day, Rihanna celebrated her 24th birthday with a dinner outing in London on Monday night (February 20).

The Barbadian beauty cruised in the back seat of a ritzy Maybach ride as she headed to Nozomi restaurant for some delicious Japanese cuisine with a few friends.

Getting a slew of well wishing tweets throughout the day, RiRi took to Twitter earlier this afternoon to send out her appreciation, as she wrote, "Ahhhhhhh ALL MY BDAY wishes from my DM to my TL!!!! KRAY! I truly love u guys, thank you so much #RihannaNavy for makin me feel special"

The "We Found Love" singer even got a b-day message from ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who posted, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN!" In response, Rihanna shot back, "Thanks! RT @chrisbrown"

She also treated fans to a present of their own in the form of herself appearing on a remix of Brown's "Turn Up the Music" and Brown paying back the favor via a remix of Rihanna's "Birthday Cake".

CHRIS BROWN CHILLS IN MIAMI. WISHES RIHANNA A HAPPY B-DAY

 Showing off his propensity for bling, Chris Brown was spotted sporting two massive gold chains in Miami, Florida yesterday afternoon (February 19).

The “No Air” singer left his Miami Beach hotel wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans and sneakers, all the while trying to ignore the nearby paparazzi.

And given that today (February 20) is Rihanna's birthday, Chris took to his Twitter account to show her some love.

He tweeted, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN,” and his use of her real name could mean that they’re back on good terms after a horrific abuse situation in 2009.

CHRIS BROWN'S LATEST PICK-UP LINE

 Maxin’ and relaxin’ in Miami, Chris Brown was spotted chatting on his hotel balcony yesterday afternoon (February 15).

The “Kiss Kiss” singer looked sporty in a ball cap with a white v-neck and black Adidas warm-up pants as he carried on his conversation in plain view of the shutterbugs.


During the pre-Grammy festivities on February 10th, Chris paid a visit to the Lasio Professional hair Care suite in the Grammy Gift Lounge where he supposedly hit on an attractive brunette woman.

She told press that he asked, “Can I get your number? I promise I won’t beat you!” From there she claims, "He and his friends laughed, then one yelled, 'That's his new line!' Ugh! I wanted to throw up!"

However Brown’s rep thinks it’s all bogus, telling press, "I'd be surprised if Chris said something that stupid."

CHRIS BROWN ORDERED TO REMAIN ON SUPERVISED PROBABTION

Despite his good behavior, Breezy will have to report to a Virginian probation officer.

Following his probation sentencing for beating his former girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, Chris Brown is to remain on supervised probation, according to a judge’s new ruling.

According to Associated Press, Breezy will remain under the watch of a probation officer as he completes the terms of his sentence. He did not appear in court for a brief hearing that asked to end his supervised probation on account of good behavior.

Superior Court Judge George Lomeli said that despite his good behavior, he should continue to report to a Virginian probation officer.

Brown, who was originally ordered to serve five years on probation, is scheduled to perform at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards, where Rihanna is also slated to hit the stage with Coldplay.

IS CHRIS BROWN THE WORLD'S WORST DRESSED MALE ENTERTAINER?

According to GQ, he is. Do you agree?

CHRIS BROWN IS THE NEW MICHEAL JACKSON, SAYS PRODUCER

Production duo The Underdogs - who worked with the star on his latest single 'Turn Up The Music' - insisted that Brown is the "ultimate artist" in today's music scene.
The Underdogs' Harvey Mason Jr told MTV: "He's so well-rounded, so versatile, he can really cover anything. You can really come to him with any record that you think is that hot.

"He is, for me right now, and for many people, the ultimate artist. He's kind of this generation's Michael Jackson, if you will."

'Turn Up The Music' will be the lead single from Brown's fifth studio album Fortune. The new cut will be available to download from February 14, while the album is expected to follow on March 16.

CHRIS BROWN & BOW WOW $5, 000 STRIPPER TIPPERS

Chris Brown and Bow Wow don't take their hard-earned money for granted -- and to prove just how seriously they take their finances ... the rappers dropped $5,000 a pop on MULTIPLE strippers last MONTH.

Bow and Breezy let loose at the King of Diamonds strip club in Miami last Wednesday -- the largest strip club on the planet -- buying untold bottles of booze for their entourage ... and lining the floor with singles.

Sources at the club tell TMZ, at least three dancers walked away with $5,000 in tips ... each.

A local celebrity baker topped off the night with a giant 2-story cake for Team Breezy, lined with Swarovski crystals. Chris Brown's rep confirmed the after party took place at KOD -- but didn't have a further comment. So far, no word back from Bow Wow's rep.

RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN SECRETLY HOOKING UP

Word has it that Rihanna and Chris Brown have been hooking up for almost a year. According to a source,

    They can’t get enough of each other. I don’t see it ending well. Rihanna loves to live dangerously, and talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that.

Chris has a girlfriend (model Karrueche Tran), but sources say that Karrueche knows about it and doesn’t mind. Chris’ people claim that he’s not cheating and he and Rihanna are “just friends”.

CHRIS BROWN TATTOOS GIRLFRIEND KARRUECHE TRANS'S FACE ON HIS ARM
