Rihanna’s life is becoming a weird cycle of partying, hospital trips, tweets directed at Chris Brown, and photos of IV drips. Lifestyles of the rich and famous, I guess?

Rihanna made headlines this week for being hospitalized (again) and tweeting a picture of her arm hooked up to an IV drip where she is recovering from the flu, or maybe “exhaustion,” I can’t be sure.

Not only that, but Rihanna just released the second installment in her two-part web-documentary, “Road To Talk That Talk” where she reveals her mental and emotional meltdown when she was hospitalized for the first time back in November.

Chris Brown just put his own spin on Kanye West’s new song “Theraflu” and the lyrics basically throw Rihanna under the bus for being a, how do I put this delicately, a wh-re.

Chris Brown tweeted a link to the song on his twitter and apparently upset Rihanna so much she un-followed him on twitter immediately after! Then, Chris Brown unfollowed Rihanna!

It’s obvious the lyrics are about Rihanna, and not only that, but they are NSFW.
In the most talked about skit from this weekend’s ‘Saturday Night Live,” Kristen Wiig rolled onto stage trailing plumes of smoke as the infamous New Jersey “tanning mom”, Patricia Krentcil, who faces allegations she took her 5-year-old to a tanning salon.

Joining ‘Weekend Update’ host Seth Meyers in the hilarious parody, Wiig wore a dark leather jacket and an orange face. She apologized for the smoke.

“Seth, you may not know this, but some people over-tan! This is just a base tan so I don’t burn this summer.”

When most people want to relax, they talk a walk, or go to the beach. Some may spring for a day at the spa. Rihanna makes it rain at strip clubs.

The 24-year-old singer has been raising eyebrows with some of her tweets lately. Tuesday night was no exception when she posted two pictures partying with dancers in the late, late hours of the evening.

“Best stress reliever= $tripper$. Kill it Tip it #Cake,” Rihanna tweeted.
The votes are in! Tulisa has been named the Sexiest Woman in the World 2012 by readers of FHM magazine in the 18th year of the annual contest, snatching the title from Cheryl Cole’s and Rihanna’s grasp. Cheryl had to settle for second, and Rihanna took third for the second year in a row.

First off, just who the heck is Tulisa? In case you haven’t been paying attention because you were waiting on Jessica Simpson’s baby to arrive, the 23-year-old British hottie, born Tulisa Contostavlos, is a judge on the “X Factor UK”. More importantly, yes, the former N Dubz singer does have a sex tape controversy of an act with a previous boyfriend. (She now dates 21-year-old actor Jack O’Connell.)
Rihanna seems to think that social media is just another Maxim photo shoot. Is anyone complaining? I didn’t think so.

It’s been over a month since Rihanna let us in to her vacation life with a series of racy instagram photos. Now the singer has taken to her facebook account to unleash a series of bikini shots from vacation, including some topless ones. Gasp!
Rihanna and Chris Brown have been slowly easing us into this reconciliation thing. And now, Rihanna’s brother is helping their cause.

“Rihanna and Chris were great together,” Rorrey Fenty said. “They were like soul mates, but it’s a very sensitive subject. I just blank it out and she blanks it out, too.”

Rorrey adds that if his sister looks depressed lately, it has nothing to do with her ex.
They posed together at the Grammys, and it must have been a dream come true for Rihanna. Because the singer says she's "obsessed" with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Not only that, she's incredibly jealous of Gwyneth, too.

Rihanna said: "I'm obsessed with Gwyneth. Honestly, what is it not? It makes me so jealous all the time ... her body ... I'm really jealous of her, I don't even know why I like her."
James Franco lip sings Selena Gomez and Rihanna songs and records himself doing it. Why? Because why the hell not. James Franco for my future best friend/boyfriend/pot dealer/karaoke instructor!

Let’s break this down. In the first video, Franco is singing Gomez’s hit, “Love You Like A Love Song.” He’s got Kevin Federline-esque braids and is sitting passenger side while someone films him from the back seat.

It’s definitely not weird for a grown ass man to sing a Selena Gomez song!
