The entertainment news program The Insider has come upon new photos of a bikini-clad Rihanna while on holiday and plans to show those photos on tonight’s episode of the show. Here are a few screencaps of the photos that are being previewed in a new video promo for tonight’s ep:

Altho the pop starlet looks sad in the photos, I am relieved to know that she is taking some time to gather herself and recuperate from her injuries in a nice tropical setting. I imagine that it must still be very difficult for Ri Ri in the wake of the alleged assault on her person by her boyfriend Chris Brown … I think that a tropical vacay is prolly really good for her right now. After the jump, check out the Insider promo vid that teases for tonight’s ep …

Filming on the NYC street set of Gossip Girl continues this week as new photos of Ed Westwick, who plays the naughty yet stylish Chuck Bass, shooting scenes for the series continue to make their way to us. Here are a few photos of Ed talking furiously on the phone on the GG set yesterday afternoon:

Love the outfit, love the facial expressions, love the tongue … love Chuck Bass. The boy does know how to wear an outfit … as much as the Gossip girls tend to rock the fabulous fashions, Ed Westwick’s Chuck Bass can really hold his own. Over the past few months, Chuck has become my fave character. I’m not usually a fan of the bad boy … but one that can dress as fabulously as Chuck Bass does, well, I guess I can make an exception :) What do y’all think … do you like?

Bromance Alert! It would appear that British actor Orlando Bloom and Aussie actor Eric Bana are the newest bro-friends to spark up a new relationship together. The buds were spotted hanging out together at the Deus Ex Machina motorcycle and bicycle shop in Camperdown, Sydney Australia this week presumably lookin’ to pick up a pair of his and his bikes together … here are a few photos:

I have to tell you, it fills my heart with GLEE at the thought of these two guys hanging out together … they make a very handsome couple … er, of friends ;) I suppose it’s too much to hope that they decided on a bicycle built for two so I guess we’ll have to wait and see if any future photos of the pair cycling together come out. Yes, I am really hoping that they do come out … er, the photos, that is. Yeah, I really like these two together … don’t YOU think they make a great pair of BFFs?

The artist formerly known as Puff Daddy, currently as P. Diddy has updated the blog on his official My Space profile with an urgent message to his fans … which I present to you right here:

Oh, Diddy … you really do love the attention from as many people as possible, don’t you? While I find him marginally entertaining on his MTV reality TV show Making the Band, I don’t consider myself a big enough fan to really follow him in any other tech medium. That said, I’m kinda obsessed with all things Twitter lately so I have been following him for a few weeks now (before he posted this message on his My Space profile). Honestly, he hasn’t really been posting anything worth mentioning (and there are far more interesting folks on Twitter … Neil Gaiman, Amber Benson and Lily Allen to name a few) but … I keep waiting for something. I figured I’d pass along this message to all y’all in case anyone out there is interested in following Diddy’s every move. Any takers?

It would appear that the rumors that Paris Hilton has taken up romantically with ex-Lauren LC Conrad boyfriend and ex-Amanda Bynes love interest Doug Reinhardt are true … the couple were spotted making their arrival together in Tokyo, Japan this week — of all places:

While I didn’t think LC and Doug ever made a good couple and I really thought that Amanda was way too good for a guy like him, I fully support this new relationship between Paris and Doug … I cannot think of a pair more suited for one another. Each seems more interested in furthering their vapid fame and notoriety more than pretty much anything else on Earth. A finer couple has never emerged from the emptiness of Hollywood, IMHO. I totally think that Paris deserves a guy like Doug and vice versa. Here’s hoping these two stay together forever … so that other unsuspecting innocents won’t get sucked in by either of them :)

Last night was a great night for me here in at home … I spent all day with my mom and dad and then met up with Sarah, Tracey and Zakiya for a fun dinner together. We grabbed some food at Buffalo Wild Wings in Canton, MI where it was kids night … Zakiya was able to get her face painted, we were able to catch up:

Princess Z was not happy when it was time to leave, which is when she turned on the fake waterworks … tho, her performance last night was prolly much better than the one Katie Holmes was giving on the set of her new movie The Extra Man. But I digress … after dinner, Sarah and I went to my fave coffee house in the whole world — City Coffee in Allen Park, MI. I have spent hours at that place reading and writing. In fact, the creative writing project that I wrote in grad school which eventually turned into Pink is the new Blog was written at City Coffee. The MJR Allen Park Theater is right next door and we popped over to see The Unborn:

That theater was where I saw my first movie ever (The Great Muppet Caper) and has since become a $1 Theater ($1.50 after 6PM). It’s still one of those old fashioned movie theaters — no stadium seating, no multiplexes … just a fun theater. It was really fun being able to go back.

So anyways … The Unborn:

Despite the fact that it was written by the guy who wrote The Dark Knight, it really wasn’t a great film. It featured a poor man’s Megan Fox in a decent story that was very poorly executed. Cam Gigandet is in it and was a nice surprise but not even his hawtness could really save the film. I will say there were a few scary moments … coupled with the nostalgia of seeing it in that old movie theater, well, I guess I didn’t hate it.

So yeah … my quick trip to Detroit is over … I fly back to LA in a few hours … so I’ll be comin’ atcha from the Left Coast tomorrow. Thank you Detroit, I’ll miss you!!
