Over the weekend we shockingly learned that Rihanna had decided to reunite with her alleged attacker and boyfriend Chris Brown in Miami, FL where the couple were reportedly working on a reconciliation at one of P. Diddy’s luxury homes. We also saw a couple of photos of Chris Brown whooping it up on a jet ski lookin’ like he was having the time of his life. Today we learn that Rihanna and Chris have ended their vacay together as Chris was spotted making his arrival back in LA last night without Rihanna … but before he made his way to SoCal, he spent another relaxing day of sun, surf and play:

Chris Brown’s reconciliation weekend with Rihanna in Miami has come to an end. The troubled 19-year-old singer was photographed arriving on a private jet in Los Angeles. Rihanna, 21, was not visible in the shots. As Usmagazine.com reported on Friday, Brown and Rihanna – whom he allegedly assaulted Feb. 8 in Los Angeles – have gotten back together. They were staying at a house owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs on Star Island near Miami, Fla. Though Rihanna wasn’t photographed, Brown was spotted over the weekend, smiling, riding a jet ski and flexing his arm muscles. Despite reports, he did not party with Khloe Kardashian and Reggie Bush Saturday night at the Gansevoort South Hotel. Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty, told Us he supported his daughter’s decision to get back together with Brown. “I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I’m behind her win or lose,” he told Us. “I will be supportive.”

See … now, I know that the kid is only 19 years old and all of that but the sight of the lad, who stands accused of physically assaulting his girlfriend (which still hasn’t been proven, I should add), playing with is friends on vacation while many of us are still reeling from the sight of Rihanna’s battered face is really unsettling. Even tho we do not know what happened between the two of them, we do know that Chris acknowledges wrong-doing on his part and has vowed to seek help for his problem (whatever it may be) … we learned this from the statement that HE RELEASED via his publicist. It sorta feels disingenuous to me to hear him say that he is remorseful and then very soon after look as if he doesn’t have a care in the world. I only hope that he is serious about getting help because quick forgiveness coupled with an all-expenses paid vacation in Miami doesn’t sound like the way for a troubled young man to learn his lesson. We may never know what really happened that night … I guess, at this point, we can only hope that Rihanna and Chris Brown can move forward in a positive manner (whatever that may be). I do hope that the LA prosecutor’s office moves forward with their investigation and case. While Rihanna may be ready to forgive, I don’t think the State should be forgiving at all on her behalf. If a crime was committed, it should be punished.

UPDATE: TMZ has photos of ChRihanna together in LA, having just flown in from Miami. I guess the reconciliation continues.

Things got a little steamy for The Simpsons matriarch Marge Simpson on last night’s episode of the series when she was seen enjoying a very passionate same-sex kiss with one of her female friends (the recurring character named Lindsay Neagle or “The Generic Female TV Executive”). It turns out that the Sapphic smooch was nothing more than the work of husband Homer Simpson’s over-active (and extremely hilarious) imagination:

MARGE Simpson cast off her conservative image when she KISSED a hot pal in last night’s Simpsons. The blue-bouffanted matriach, voiced by Julie Kavner, plants a smacker on her attractive pal in the living room of her family home in Springfield while husband Homer looks on. But all is not what it seems – it transpires that the smooch is a figment of beer-swigging hubby Homer’s imagination. The lardy mid-lifer had been panicking about the disasters that could befall his family after his insurance expires but soon started day-dreaming about his wife locking lips with another woman. The episode – How The Test Was Won – aired in America last night … The show has been broaching lesbianism more over the last few years and revealed in 2005 that Marge’s disapproving older sister Patty was a closet lesbian, who consequently gets engaged to a female golf player Veronica.

Yay! I love that Marge is finally gettin’ in on the same-sex lovin’ … even if it is only in Homer’s imagination. After the jump, check out a pic of the animated ladies lip-locked in their passionate embrace …

After a quick pit stop in her hometown of Kentwood, LA at the start of the weekend, Britney Spears and her children Sean Preston and Jayden James (with touring entourage in tow) made their way to New Orleans for the final dress rehearsals for her first concert tour in 5 years, The Circus starring Britney Spears. A lot is riding on this new tour … a lot has happened in the past 5 years since Britney Spears was a touring live act. So many of her fans are eager to see her up on the stage again … but, so too are her detractors waiting for her to fall. Here are a few photos of our dear Britney, her sons and her father/conservator Jamie Spears as they rolled into town in their massive tour bus yesterday:

The elaborate costumes are packed. The 16 semis filled with magic props and big-top sets are on the road. When Britney Spears takes the stage at the New Orleans Arena on March 3 – the opening night of her Circus tour – the stakes will never be higher. After more than two years of personal drama, the tour will either make or break the professional comeback she began last fall. According to sources, Spears, 27, who left Friday for Louisiana, has been hard at work preparing for the show, which will feature her signature sexy dance moves, a stage filled with three circus rings, and magic tricks. “She’s pretty determined,” a friend tells PEOPLE. “She missed singing and performing and the freedom of that. It gives her an escape and it’s what she loves to do, so she’s definitely thankful to be doing that again.” Though the pop star seemed to be back in old Britney form when she sang “Womanizer” on Good Morning America in December, the concert will be her biggest performance since her disastrous, out-of-shape appearance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. “I’ve got to believe she’s ready and will do a professional show,” Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of the concert trade magazine Pollstar, says. “If she doesn’t, it’s over.” Spears’s last tour, in 2004, was canceled after the singer injured her knee during a video shoot. (She spent her newfound free time with then-boyfriend Kevin Federline; they were engaged that summer.) So far, the buzz for the upcoming 31-city outing is strong. “In general, the tickets have sold very well. Some shows are already sold out,” Bongiovanni says. “Obviously, it means there is significant fan interest in seeing her do her live show. That fact that she’s been off the scene for a while helps with the pent-up demand” …The pop star’s friend worries the tour may be too much for the singer to handle, but notes that “it’s what her team thought was best.” What will make the trip easier is that Federline is taking the couple’s kids on the road so they can keep up their regular visitation schedule with Mom. “Having the boys with her is going to make all the difference,” says a source. “They are the reason she can do this.”

Man, I can’t believe her tour kicks off tomorrow night. We are just hours away from hearing our first reports about this new tour. I’m so torn … I’m dying to see pics but I don’t want to be spoiled. I suspect I’ll take a peek at the professional photos that are taken during the first few songs but I’ll save the rest for when I see the show live myself. I also having a sneaking suspicion that I’ll read a lot of reviews that will most definitely spoil some of the surprises … I can’t help it. Any spoilery info that I post will be marked as such and will be hidden from those of you who wish to remain unspoiled.

I was fortunate enough to see her last tour, The Onyx Hotel Tour (along with her previous Dream Within A Dream, Oops! I Did It Again and (U Drive Me) Crazy tours), live in Detroit, MI before she suffered the fateful knee injury that prematurely ended the tour … and changed her life forever. To be honest, it seems longer than 5 years ago … but it was the very same year that Pink is the new Blog launched. So much has happened since 2004. I am SO pulling for her tour to be a huge success. I’m also trying to keep my expectations from flying into the stratosphere … I think it’s wise to just go in with an open mind and prepare to be wowed. She can deffo do it … I know she can. Are any of y’all seeing her in NoLa tomorrow night?

Yesterday we saw photos of Madonna escorting her children, Jesus Luz included, to the Kabbalah Centre in NYC for an evening of Sabbath worship celebration but it appears that that was not the only outing that Madonna & Child spent in each other’s company. Here are a few photos of Madge and Jesus as they stepped out last night to enjoy a quiet date night together in snowy NYC:

AWWW, don’t they look cute together. You gotta hand it to Madonna, whether or not she and Chuy are seriously together (or seriously pulling our collective chain), the pair do make a handsome couple. Just think, a few months ago Jesus Luz was a totally unknown model in Brazil prolly living out his existence with all the normalcy that we enjoy on a day to day basis … then, one day, Madonna herself plucks him from obscurity and enlists his aid in either fulfilling her romantic needs or fulfilling her publicity needs … in either case, the attention is a BOON for the formerly unknown Jesus Luz. Lawd, I just love watching these two do whatever it is that they do. I gotta admit, I really love that Madonna at 50 is still as virile as Madonna at 25 … which is good, cuz she’s gonna need to keep up with this little scamp Jesus who is a mere 22. God bless Madonna & Child … here’s hoping the entertainment never ends.

Gwen Stefani spent another weekend in the fun company of her children Kingston James McGregor and Zuma Nesta Rock as mother and sons were spotted enjoying some playtime together with some fun balloons at a park in Beverly Hills, CA. Here are a few photos of Gwen with her sons enjoying one another’s company and all the fun and excitement that balloons can offer:

But, alas, the outing wasn’t all fun for little Kingston James. According to TMZ, he had a run-in with a “known local bully” who proceeded to start an altercation with little Kingston and put a damper on the day’s fun. After the jump, check out a photo of the kiddies roughhousing together …

Billy Ray Cyrus, the father of 16 year old Miley Cyrus responsible for hooking her up with her 20 year old manfriend Justin Gaston, was spotted posing for a few photos in Malibu, CA this weekend where he was proudly showing off his shiny crotchrocket motorcycle toy. White tank top t-shirt, ripped jeans, no socks … Billy Ray was totally in full effect during this impromptu photo session for the paps:

LOL! I love that Billy Ray just decided to pose for the assembled photogs in order to show the world what a classy guy he is. I mean, the ensemble alone tells the tale … you throw in the Suzuki motorcycle and, well, what else is there to say? It’s pretty amazing how a white tank top t-shirt can look so good on one man and yet, so tragic on another. You gotta admit, these photos really do seem to adequately represent a man who thinks it’s a great idea for his 16 year old daughter to date a 20 year old man. Seriously, these photos absolutely break my achey-breaky heart … and they make me want to poke out my eyeballs. Oh Billy Ray, sometimes you make it so easy.

As they say, all good things must come to an end … such is the case for the extended Caribbean holiday that Amy Winehouse has been enjoying on the isle of St. Lucia. After one last horseback riding excursion on her last day in paradise …

… Amy packed up her shizz and finally said goodbye to the vacation home away from home that has been her home base for the last 2 months. Here are a couple pics of Amy fresh off the plane and already seemingly back to her old self again and back to the personal drama that she had left behind:

Amy Winehouse jetted back to London this morning after her two month ‘holiday’ in St Lucia. The troubled singer arrived at London’s Gatwick Airport looking distressed and jetlagged after the nine hour flight. In contrast to the shorts, bikini top and naturally curly hair Amy had been sporting in the Caribbean, the star was back in her London pop star guise in skin jeans, ballet shoes and her signature beehive and heavy eyeliner. Her miserable appearance at Gatwick comes just hours after she was photographed happy and smiling in the Caribbean sun as she larked around in a pair of flippers. Amy’s return to Britain comes just days after her estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil was released from jail. The 25-year-old singer is said to want to give their marriage another try, despite the former music video assistant insisting divorce proceedings are still going ahead. His mother Georgette Civil said Blake has been “hurt and humiliated” by Amy and claims she cheated on him twice during his spell behind bars. Georgette tells The People: “He feels very let down by his wife and he’s proceeding with a divorce, Amy has behaved like a trollop. Since his release there has been no contact. Blake realised the marriage was doomed some time ago and I don’t believe Amy will get round him now. I never want him to go back to her. It would be bad news. He’s divorcing her because she cheated on him and the sooner the marriage is over the better.” Amy is alleged to have cheated on Blake twice – with her manager’s former assistant Alex Haines last year and with aspiring actor Josh Bowman in St Lucia over Christmas. In an interview last month, Amy admitted she had ‘forgotten’ she was even married. She said: “Our whole marriage was based on drugs anyway. He looks like me – a right mess. Almost every time I slept with him it was like I was dead.” After Amy was photographed cuddling up to handsome Josh, 21, she admitted she had a romance with him. Shortly after Amy was pictured with Josh, Blake started divorce proceedings on the grounds of adultery. Her father Mitch Winehouse said: “I had to call Amy before she heard about it from someone else. She asked me, ‘Daddy, why does he want to divorce me?’ I said, ‘You know I don’t like him, but I have to admit that your behaviour with another man is not what marriage is all about.’” Georgette has denied reports Blake is now dating German model Sophie Schandorff, 22, after she was spotted with him outside a Suffolk prison last week. Sophie has been a regular visit to Blake in prison and often attended his court hearings when Amy wasn’t there. Georgette insisted Sophie and Blake were just close friends, saying: “Blake’s been a bad lad when it comes to drugs but he hasn’t once cheated on Amy. But he’s not got another woman – absolutely not. The last thing he wants right now is another relationship. All Amy’s done is cause him grief” … Speaking about his impending divorce from Amy, Blake said: “It’s all going ahead – but I don’t really know what will happen. It’s just nice to be on the outside again. Now I am going to get over my drug habit.” Amy and Blake married in Florida in May 2007, just weeks after she dumped live-in boyfriend Alex Claire. After Blake’s arrest in November, it means the couple have spent just six months of their 21 month marriage together.

Blah! I had hoped that the poor dear had gotten rid of those soiled and nasty-lookin’ ballet flats … coupled with the beehive and the thick eye make-up, it really looks as if Amy Winehouse never left her crazy life in London at all. While I doubt she was a saint while she was away in St. Lucia, it really looked to me as if she were getting her life back in order. I fear that now she is back home in London, she’ll return to the crazed life she led before she jetted off to the Caribbean. I sincerely hope she doesn’t revert to the reckless and dangerous behavior that threatens to end her life. I think it’s a great idea for Amy and Blake to call it quits … for the sake of each of them, they prolly need to not be together anymore. I guess we’ll see what Amy’s life will be like now that she’s back at home in London. I, for one, am pulling for her to get her life back on track. Here’s hoping she learned something about living a normal and CLEAN life while she was away on holiday.
