Are Rihanna and Chris Brown Off Again?

Chris and Rihanna. (Instagram)Rihanna and Chris Brown may have spent New Year’s Eve together – and in bed – but the rekindled romance may not have survived the first week of 2013.

Over the course of three days, the “Diamonds” singer posted a bunch of inspirational quotes on Instagram, all alluding to relationship woes.
On January 6, her first one read, “I’m not a princess, I don’t need saving. I’m a queen, I got this s--t handled,” over an image of a girl adjusting a crown on her head.
That seemed innocent enough, but the next day she added another one that seemed to really strike a chord with her. “There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it,” began the quote. “Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right …” To that, Rihanna added the caption, “Bitch don’t kill my vibe.”

On January 8, she posted her most cryptic message of all. “I believe in second chances, I just don’t think everyone deserves them.” Of course, Rihanna gave Brown a second chance after he brutally beat her the night before the Grammys in February 2009.
The 24-year-old never mentions Brown by name, but coincidentally he has deleted the photo he posted of her in bed with him on New Year’s Eve.
If Rihanna and Brown, 23, are off once again, it wouldn’t be the first time she has used her Twitter page to comment on the status of their relationship. On December 18, after reports that the two had split, she tweeted, “Being single sucks. The only thing I get to do anymore is whatever the f--k I want to do.”
So does this mean Rihanna can once again start doing whatever the bleep she wants?

Why older actors resent Oscar-nominated kids

Isn't it admirable that a 9-year-old has accustomed an Oscar nomination, acceptable the youngest anytime to acquire that honor? Well, maybe not. I was at a Manhattan industry cafeteria dishing with a brace of over-40 actresses the added day, and they were beneath agog about the Oscar fizz surrounding Quvenzhane Wallis, age 9. The two accomplished veterans (one an Oscar winner, the added a SAG nominee) didn't wish to assume to be disturbing down the accomplishment of a admirable little girl, but … both agreed, in aside tones, that this was added accomplishment than performance. Where was the craft? However admirable the adolescent babe was in "The Beasts of the Southern Wild," her scampering about the Louisiana anchorage was not an acting accomplishment aces of an Oscar.
[ Photos: All-time youngest acting nominees ]
Experienced awning actors accept acceptable acumen to be a little peeved. They generally attempt for years to get a break, abundant beneath Oscar recognition. As the three of us bankrupt the amphitheater of our altercation so as not to be overheard, I said that as absorbing and airy as Wallis is as Hushpuppy in that Southern gothic fantasy, acclaim administrator Benh Zeitlin for the accomplishment (he got a choice today). The actresses seemed adequate to apprehend me, a journalist, clear the point that was authoritative the circuit in their world. Save those 5 important best-actress slots for acquainted the above achievements of alive actresses -- and let's see if Wallis will abide to accomplish in roles not tailored to her.
While Wallis gets acclaim for getting the absorbing centermost of “Beasts” at, the role draws on her congenital charm. She’s not addition in the way that, say, Naomi Watts did in “The Impossible” or Lawrence, who was so altered in “Silver Linings Playbook” from her Katniss Everdeen in “Hunger Games.”
Furthermore, Wallis’s accomplishment relied heavily on a voiceover account that was laid down afterwards the shoot.
Looking aback historically at the Awning Actors Guild Awards, which started in 1994, adolescent stars rarely get their nominations. A accessory has never won from the actors-only group, which boosts the altercation that actors apperceive it takes years to advance the craft.
Certainly, if I analyze 9-year-old Wallis's achievements with those of contenders snubbed by Oscar today -- Rachel Weisz in "Deep Blue Sea," Keira Knightley in "Anna Karenina," Marion Cotillard in "Rust and Bone," and Helen Mirren in "Hitchcock" -- I accept to accede with my two extra friends. It doesn't assume fair. How could the Academy discount these performances and accession up Wallis's? It seems active at best, and absolute arresting to alive actors, to abort to accede the ability and courage of these women who accept put themselves out there, stripping down physically and emotionally for role afterwards role.
When the actors sit down to vote for a champ in the best-actress category, this affect will blush their appearance of Wallis -- and it's ambiguous that she will win the statuette. She joins a continued history of adolescent and alien Oscar nominees. Remember Keisha Castle-Hughes from "Whale Rider" in 2002? Others in the account cover Justin Henry ("Kramer vs. Kramer"), Haley Joel Osment ("The Sixth Sense"), Quinn Cummings ("The Goodbye Girl"), and Mary Badham ("To Kill a Mockingbird").
OF course, there accept been acknowledged adolescent nominees, like Jodie Foster, Anna Paquin, and Abigail Breslin. My Academy Award-winning antecedent remembers allurement administrator Lee Daniels what would appear to his "Precious" brilliant Gabourey Sidibe afterwards his movie. As it turns out, he needn't accept been concerned. Sidibe has gone on to locations in "Tower Heist" and "Seven Psychopaths" and to a approved role in TV's "The Big C."
It makes faculty that accomplished actresses ability be resentful, but alone time will acquaint if Wallis is a one-hit admiration or if a brilliant has been born.

Eddie Murphy’s new love is model Paige Butcher

Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher (Mark Davis/WireImage)Eddie Murphy is showing off some new arm candy! The 51-year-old funny man's latest gal pal is Paige Butcher, an Australian model who's appeared in Maxim, and is reported to be about 20 years Murphy's junior. The couple made a high-profile appearance over the weekend, posing for the cameras on the red carpet at a tribute for the "Beverly Hills Cop" star, a special called "Eddie Murphy: One Night Only," which will air on Spike TV on November 14.

Perhaps Murphy will have better luck with Butcher than he's had with women in the past. Since splitting with his wife of 12 years, Nicole, in 2005, the "Saturday Night Live" alum's conquests have included, among others, Tracey Edmonds, who he married in a symbolic wedding ceremony in 2008 but then decided not to make legal, and Melanie Brown, the former Spice Girl known as Scary Spice. His 2006 split with Mel B grew particularly nasty when she revealed that she was pregnant with his child — and he denied it. Murphy finally acknowledged he was the father of Brown's daughter Angel in 2007, but only after undergoing a paternity test. The little girl is one of eight children Murphy has with multiple women.

Already this year, Murphy has been photographed canoodling with Rocsi Diaz, former host of BET's countdown show "106 & Park," and — if you believe an unnamed source's claim in Us Weekly — songstress and reality star Toni Braxton.

How long do you think Murphy and Butcher will last?
