Rihanna Wears Pyjamas To Jay-Z's Nightclub opening
Rihanna is usually known for her risque wardrobe, so we didn't expect her to wear pajamas to the grand opening of her pal Jay-Z's 40/40 nightclub in Brooklyn. The singer wore a cream colored ensemble (slightly frayed at the sleeves) that she unbottoned to show off her stomach. She accessorized with brown heels and a gold necklace. Strange, right? Several stars attended the club's opening, including model Tyson Beckford, hip hop star J. Cole and CEO of Recorded Music for Warner Music Group Lyor Cohen. Rihanna just released the first single from her upcoming seventh studio album, "Diamonds." The as-yet-untitled CD is rumored for a November release

Bone Of Contention: Davido Piled Up N500,000 Club Bill On Wizkid And Bailed
Davido might deny the brewing cold war going on between him and Wizkid and even tell everyone who cares to listen that the Pakurumo singer is his ‘brother’ but insider sources say that is far from the truth. Before Davido bursted into limelight, he and Wizkid were unknown to each other but that soon changed once Davido also became a household name and they both got to meet and struck a chord of friendship until sometime in May when the cordial relationship went sour. According to an insider who knows the duo well and the source of their no-love lost relationship, Wizkid was chilling at a hotel somewhere on the Island and apparently wasn’t having a great time so he decided to put a call through to his friend, Davido who at the time was hanging out with five other friends of his. The Omo Baba Olowo then instructed his aide to go and pick Wizkid at a hotel behind 1004 building on VI. In no time, Wizkid had joined Davido and his group of friends at a club in the civic centre where they had some drinks before carrying the party to Movida on Idowu Taylor, VI. While there, Davido ordered some bottles of Hennessey for himself and two other friends who had just joined them and as they drank, Wizkid became tipsy and frail as he had one drink too many on the night. Immediately, he was carried to Davido’s car parked outside where he allegedly threw up. All this while, Davido was nowhere to be found as he abandoned his colleague and friend. After a while, the bar tenders produced the bill which was about N500,000 and since Davido had disappeared into thin air and bulking under pressure to pay the bills, Davido’s aide took the bar tenders to Wizkid’s home where he was forced to issue a cheque to cover their unpaid expenses. This singular act put a strain on their relationship as Wizkid felt let down by Davido. Already, their relationship had been tested following the bitter break-up of Mo’Hits as both artistes had their allegiances divided between Don Jazzy on one hand, and Dbanj on the other. But what would finally prove to be the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back was when Davido was sending out invitation to guests for the launch of his O.B.O Album and he didn’t send any to Wizkid. And to add salt upon injury, Davido and his crew reportedly sauntered out on a Wizkid performance to the consternation of many at the NEA couple of weeks back in New York. With these series of events coupled with Davido’s denial and Wizkid’s obvious silence in the face of all the ‘beef’ rumor, isn’t obvious that all is not well between these two super stars? On Wizkid’s part, could this be the moment when ‘silence is golden?’ Time will tell.

KANYE WEST SUED OVER ALBUM SAMPLES
Executives at the TufAmerica label claim West sampled parts of a song called "Hook and Sling, Part 1" by pianist Eddie Bo in his tracks "Who Will Survive In America?" and "Lost in the World," as well as the video for "Runaway."
They filed a lawsuit at Manhattan Federal Court in New York claiming bosses at West's Roc-A-Fella label and its parent company Universal Music Group paid a license fee to use a portion of the track, but failed to settle the necessary agreements for other uses of the sample.
TufAmerica executives are seeking damages for copyright infringement, according to Billboard.com.
POST| THE SCARIEST MONTH OF 2012: OCTOBER HORROR MOVIE PREVIEW
Take a look at what tricks and treats are in store for you, including the fourth installment in the "Paranormal Activity" series, a 3-D sequel to "Silent Hill" and a return to form for Tim Burton with the animated "Frankenweenie."
Frankenweenie
Release Date: Oct. 5
Starring: Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron, Conchata Ferrell.
The Horror: Heh heh, well, "The Horror" in that stop-motion animated kind of way. "Frankenweenie" tells the gruesome yet heartwarming tale of Victor Von Frankenstein, a young boy with a passion for homemade monster movies who resurrects his pet dog Sparky after the poor pooch is hit by a car. Victor then has to deal with a neighborhood suddenly up in arms and terrified of the back-from-the-dead canine, who's really just the same old lovable best pal he's always been (albeit now with a few scars and a couple of bolts in his neck). Screenwriter John August ("Big Fish") expands director Tim Burton's 1984 short film into what is reportedly a welcome return to form for the macabre filmmaker who's spent the last couple of years lazily churning out mildly amusing yet immediately disposable trifles like "Alice in Wonderland" and "Dark Shadows."
Hold Your Breath
Release Date: Oct. 5
Starring: Katrina Bowden, Randy Wayne, Erin Marie Hogan, Seth Cassell, Steve Hanks, Jordan Pratt-Thatcher, Gerald Webb, Darin Cooper.
The Horror: Previously called "#Holdyourbreath," though apparently the world isn't quite ready for Twitter-friendly titles just yet. An unofficial companion piece to "Urban Legend" (remember that one?) and a variation of sorts on the Denzel Washington thriller "Fallen" (remember that one?), "Hold Your Breath" warns us that you really, really should heed the old wives' tale about not breathing while you pass a cemetery, lest you welcome an evil spirit into your midst; a group of college kids learn this the hard way when one of their group ignores the warning, summoning the ghost of a serial killer that proceeds to possess the students and inflict lots of body-hopping carnage. You have to give credit to a horror film with a trailer that opens with attractive young people excitedly gathering for a camping trip without any sense of irony in a post-"Cabin in the Woods" world; double credit goes to Bowden for being a good sport and yammering the movie's entire premise shortly thereafter.
Release Date: Oct. 5
Starring: Calvin Reeder, Lane Hughes, Adam Wingard, Hannah Fierman, Mike Donlan, Joe Sykes, Drew Sawyer, Jas Sams, Joe Swanberg.
The Horror: One of the past month's most popular On Demand titles gets a theatrical release for those who like their horror movies to be more of a communal experience rather than something for their own living room. Terror goes analog as a bunch of thieves are hired for the seemingly simple task of breaking into a house and stealing a single VHS tape; they find the house chock full of the old cassettes (really, what is it about an unlabeled VHS tape that makes it so ominous?) containing hours of "found footage" that prompt a six-part horror anthology film dealing with hauntings, possessions, scary monsters, running and screaming through the woods and, occasionally, fornication. At least one segment of "V/H/S" caused at least one audience member at this year's Sundance Film Festival to faint; the trailer certainly promises a wild ride of "Blair Witch"-style horror taken to even more lo-fi extremes, making for a "Creepshow" for an era where everyone with a Flip camera can make a damn movie.
More to follow shortly..........................
POSt| JUSTIN BIEBER HEARTBROKEN AFTER THE DEATH OF SIX-YEAR-OLD SUPERFAN
Six-year-old Justin Bieber superfan Avalanna Routh died of a rare form of brain cancer she was suffering from on Wednesday morning.
Her parents shared the sad news with her 175,000 twitter followers; writing, "Our darling Avalanna went to Heaven this morning. Oh Avalanna, the brightest star - you took our hearts with you, our greatest Love."
Avalanna's family, who dubbed her "#MrsBieber," started a twitter and Facebook campaign called "Get Avalanna to Meet Justin Bieber" with hopes of getting her a dream date to meet her idol. Bieber caught wind of the campaign and flew Avalanna and her mother to New York City in February -- just before Valentine's Day -- so he could spend the day with his number-one fan.
The New York Daily News reports that Avalanna was so "infatuated" with Bieber that the nurses who cared for her staged a mock wedding so the tot could marry her hero -- represented by a cardboard cutout of the star.
And that's what Justin did with her during their visit -- the two were married in a pretend ceremony; and they also played board games together during their meeting.
After their meeting, Bieber tweeted that that was "one of the best things" he had ever done; calling her "awesome." The two were reunited again in June for a TV interview.
Avalanna suffered from a rare form of cancer called AT/RT (Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor), which is a cancer of the central nervous system most often diagnosed in children. The cancer only has a 10% survival rate and only around 30 cases per year are reported.
"[J]ust got the worst news ever," Bieber tweeted Wednesday morning; "one of the greatest spirits i have ever known is gone. please pray for her family and for her... RIP Avalanna. i love you."
The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Dr. Charles Robert told the Associated Press that Avalanna was diagnosed with the disease when she was just 18 months old. He said she responded to initial treatments, but the tumor kept returning and became unresponsive to the treatments. The Cancer Institute called her a "very courageous young person who lived her life with grace and determination."
Bieber also took to his twitter page to ask that her family be left to their privacy during the difficult time.
"Please show respect to her and her family... i miss her," he wrote.
