Rihanna, Brown keep in touch
It’s Rihanna and Chris and Karrueche, Chapter 59. In late January, while Chris Brown was in anger rehab in Malibu, his old flame and punching bag Rihanna flew in via private jet to visit him for a few hours, the New York Daily News says.
This caused his nominal girlfriend Karrueche Tran to go ballistic and dump him. A weary world has lost count of how often this kind of thing has happened, but now Tran may be serious.
While Brown was in rehab, the paper’s nameless source says, he and Tran “spoke every day and she stood by his side.” Then this. “When it comes to Rihanna, she has a zero-tolerance policy.”
You’re never too young to
cash in: Lorde will launch her own makeup line, with MAC Cosmetics, this summer.
“I have loved MAC Cosmetics since I was a little kid,” she says. No dollar figure was given.
She’s 17. There is hope: Five months ago Katharine McPhee, formerly of American Idol, got caught smooching with Mike Morris, director of her TV series Smash. Now she and hubby Nick Cokas, a music producer, have resurfaced, walking their dogs together.
It turns out they’re “working on their marriage and spending a lot of time together,” Don’t Usemyname told people mag. And TMZ. com says she bought him a Rolex to prove her love, or something.
No word yet about what Morris bought for his wife, actress Mary McCormack, mother of his three children.
Katherine is 29. Mary is 45. So is Nick. Mike isn’t telling.
Serving up twins: Tennis star Roger Federer and wife Mirka are expecting a second set of twins, the German website 20 Minuten reports. (I read ’em all!)
Their daughters Myla and Charlene are five now. Roger’s Dull Normal sister has twins, too.
Who’s bossy?: There’s a fad among certain prominent women — Beyoncé, Jennifer Garner, Condoleezza Rice, Victoria Beckham, and others — as well many non-celeb women: Signing up with a Girl-Scout-led campaign to insist people, particularly men, stop using the word “bossy” about women.
Gentlemen, if you detect a teeny hint of absurdity in this well-intentioned campaign, do not — repeat, do not — laugh out loud about it. You’ll get in deep trouble. Don’t ask me how I know.
