Rihanna "California King Bed" Video controversy

rihanna california king bed
Rihanna saucy star is still causing controversy with her S&M promo

Rihanna has recruited the help of a topless hunk for her latest promo for new single, California King Bed.

The 23-year old, who previously teased the video on Twitter, has unleashed her most sultry clip yet, showing RiRi cuddling up in bed with the near-naked man.

Directed by Anthony Mandler, the promo sees Rihanna ditching the raunchy dominatrix attire she donned for S&M in favour of nude lingerie and subtle make-up as she rolls around the bedsheets with the handsome chap.

California King Bed is the next single to be taken from her chart-topping LP, Loud, and was chosen by her fans on Twitter as her new release.

While Rihanna may have toned down her sexy image for her new clip, the Barbadian beauty is still facing a backlash for her saucy S&M video, which has been deemed by Ofcom as "completely unsuitable for daytime broadcast" in the UK.

So often, because Rihanna is shouting dance lyrics while shooting up the world with cannons and punishing men with whips and chains in well-appointed houses with finely landscaped yards, one forgets that the girl's got a voice -- and a beautiful one at that.

In the video for her new video, "California King Bed," the Barbadian pop star slows it down and shows her sensitive side, holding notes and bearing her soul over a troubled relationship. Set entirely in a gorgeously pink-palleted open air room overlooking the beach, the winds swirl and blow the curtains dramatically around the heart broken singer.

The promo, which sees RiRi wear bondage gear and suggestively eat a banana has received numerous complaints, resulting in the TV watchdog committee banning the video before the watershed.

The ban comes after broadcaster, WTF TV, aired the uncut version of the promo at 11.25am, with Ofcom stating that Rihanna's clip: "clearly and repeatedly focused on sex, bondage and sadomasochistic sexual practices as a theme" and that certain scenes "could have potentially dangerous consequences if imitated by children".

It is thought that they have called a meeting to discuss the policies regarding sexualised music videos, stating: "We will... be requesting that broadcasters who transmit such programming attend a meeting at Ofcom to discuss the compliance of such material."

The Ofcom statement added: "(We will) shortly be issuing new guidance about the acceptability of material in music videos broadcast before the watershed."

Kim Kardashian hits Gold at perfume launch

kim perfume
Kim Kardashian-The 30-year-old looked stunning as she strutted the red carpet at the promotional event in a white, gold and black dress. Celebrated the launch of the perfume in Las Vegas last night.

She accessorised with towering black heels and held her new perfume aloft for all to see.

Kardashian was at Macy's Fashion Show store in Nevada to celebrate her second fragrance.

She had released her first perfume last year called, aptly, Kim Kardashian.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star explained the name of her perfume.

"Gold is a luxury that stands the test of time, a universal symbol of sophistication and glamour."

"Like a stunning piece of precious jewellery, Gold lends everyday style a surge of seductive sparkle and timeless beauty", Kim added.

Aside from her fragrances, Kim is also a spokesperson for various things including Sketchers trainers and weight loss supplements.

The television personality also has her own clothing stores with her sisters, production company, books, jewellery line and reality shows.

Kim's mother Kris Jenner is at the helm of the Kardashian empire as the girls' manager and raked in $64million last year from all of their activities.

She has recently returned from Mexico, where she enjoyed a family vacation to mark her sister Kourtney's 32nd birthday.

Kim tweeted: 'So happy to be home from a fun long family vacation! Its been a while since the whole family got together like that! We need to do that more.'

But her sister Khloe was quick to correct: 'the whole family but Lamar and I silly....'

But one person who was on the break was Kim's new boyfriend Kris Humphries.

The 6ft 9in athlete put on a playful display of affection with Kim as they cavorted in the sea in Puerto Mita, Mexico.

As well as exchanging countless kisses, he even gave the pint-sized star a ride on his shoulders.

He could barely keep his hands off her body - and few could blame him. The star looked in incredible shape as she paraded around the beach in an array of bikinis during the six-day break.

Jennifer Lopez's Dress style Teases American Idol Performance

jennifer lopez sexy dress
Jennifer Lopez has won over fans with her sexy style.

But as she balances her American Idol judging role with promoting her new album Love?, perhaps the 41-year-old is too busy to concentrate on her wardrobe.

And earlier that day she opted for a revealing white Hakan Yildirim shift dress with cut-out sections and a pair of silver stilettos as she appeared on BET TV show 106 & Park.

Teamed with her scraped back ponytail and big hooped earrings, the tacky look was a far cry from her usual sophisticated red carpet persona.

And at her album launch at The Grove shopping centre in Los Angeles last Friday, it was another faux pas in a unflattering gold strapless sequinned jumpsuit by Lebanese designer Zuhair Mared.

The 41-year-old American Idol judge, wearing a white dress with cutout detail on the side, chatted about her latest album, Love?

Jennifer Lopez will bring the Love? to the "American Idol" stage Thursday night (May 5) when the show's sole female judge performs and shows the newbies how it's done.

"You can expect some fun; I don't want to give away too much. But you know we're gonna go out there, we're gonna do our thing," she told MTV News on Tuesday.

"I've said this from the beginning: It's anybody's game. And I really still feel that way," she continued. "I think the voting's pretty close, and it could be anybody. It really is in America's hands. I am just a spectator."

With talk that she might get her own singing competition series, the singer does say she's loved every moment on "Idol," regardless of what the future holds. "I loved doing 'American Idol' this season," she gushed. "I loved it. I had the best time. The great thing for me, at this moment, is that there's a lot going on. There's a lot of possibilities, and I'm open to every single one of them."

Hugh Hefner shows off wedding invitations

hugh crytal haris wedding
Hugh Hefner and fiancé Crystal Harris today gave fans a sneak peek of their wedding invitations on Twitter.

The Playboy mogul posted a photograph of the card that is being issued to friends and family ahead of the June ceremony.

It reads: 'Crystal Harris and Hugh M Hefner request the pleasure of your company at the celebration of their marriage.'

Invitations are being sent out for Hugh Hefner's wedding to girlfriend Crystal Harris - and if you're not expecting one in your mailbox, you can check them out on Twitter.

The Playboy founder posted an image of the invite to the couple's June 18 nuptials, writing, "Friends and family are already receiving our wedding invitation."

The envelope features a stamp with the bride and groom, while the invitation, written in black ink and scattered with pink rhinestones, reads:

"Crystal Harris and Hugh M. Hefner request the pleasure of your company at the celebration of their marriage."

The ceremony will take place at 6 p.m. at the Playboy mansion. Reception and dinner will follow, according to the invite, and semiformal attire is requested.

Hefner, 85, and Harris, 25, announced their engagement in December. It will be the Playboy founder's third marriage.

The 24-year-old model, who will become the 85-year-old's third wife, is planning on wearing a Ramona Keveca design.

'This will be the most romantic wedding ever,' Crystal promised last month.

'It isn't even a compromise, because Hef wants Crystal to have the wedding of her dreams.'

Around 300 people will be invited and the estate will be decorated in pale, summery hues and bright flowers.

As well as making the wedding dress, designer Ramona Keveca will also provide the bridesmaids with dresses.

Crystal is having her two sister and Anna Berglund, Miss January 2011, as attendants while Hugh's brother Keith and two of his sons, Marston and Cooper, make up the groom's party.

Hefner, who is worth around $43million, said to have decided against putting a pre-nuptial agreement in place.

Hefner, who founded Playboy in 1953 with Marilyn Monroe as his first cover girl, has been married twice before.

Jennifer Aniston Talk About Aging

jennifer aniston
Jennifer Aniston may be 42 years old, but she looks a full decade younger! What's her secret? The actress recently opened up about Botox, plastic surgery and aging.

Jennifer Aniston is known as much for her sunny blond hair, fabulous skin and figure as she is for her movies (and, OK, her dating life). The single star of Just Go with It told Red magazine that aging naturally is "beautiful," however, Aniston admits she has used Botox in the past, but didn’t like its "hard" effects.

"I make my living from my expressions, so it’s not a great thing to do," she said in a previous interview.

So how does she keep her skin so radiant? The former Friends star told Red she uses "state-of-the-art serums" (unfortunately she didn’t name specifics) and a California facialist.

Even though it has been rumored that Aniston had a nose job earlier in her career, she denies it and says too much plastic surgery can make you look older.

"A lot of women go too far and end up looking a hell of a lot older than they actually are and it sort of has a reverse effect. So talk to me in 10 years," she said.

Aniston admits, however, she will not totally rule out plastic surgery as she gets older. "I will never, ever say 'never' about anything. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with making yourself feel better."

Check out Jennifer Aniston at a younger age -- and today. Whatever she is doing, she seems to look better with age!

Jennifer Aniston's sprawling luxury Beverly Hills mansion

jennifer aniston home
Jennifer Aniston spent years renovating home, spending millions of dollars creating a luxurious hideaway that 'felt like a hug'.

But after deciding her sprawling Beverly Hills mansion was 'too much' for a single woman she has now put it on the market for $42million.

Newly released photos advertising the property show just what bidders can expect for their money - with shots showing stunning city views, a game room, Japanese spa, powder room, and office.

Aniston marked her 40th birthday in 2009 by moving into the decadent property, which also includes a Koi pond running through the entrance hall, a swimming pool with a cabana, five bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms.

The Just Go With It star spent more than two years renovating that 9,000 square foot home in the hills above Sunset Boulevard after purchasing it in 2006 for $13.5 million.

But on a recent trip to London, Aniston, who is currently single, decided the property was 'too much' for a person living on her own.

She said: 'I couldn’t sleep and I sort of had one of those moments where I really needed to simplify.

Aniston's alterations to the mansion included smart house technology, a biometric security system for both her wine cellar and jewellery cabinet, and a 'two-in-one kitchen' that hides a professional catering kitchen behind the main one.

And just last year the actress raved about the Zen influenced home, telling Architectural Digest it felt 'like a hug' and 'vibrates with the love that created it.'

Aniston named the property Ohana, in homage to the Hawaiian idea of extended family, and completely overhauled it with the help of designer Stephen Shadley.

Aniston is ready to get away from the prying eye of Hollywood and has set her sights on the Big Apple. ‘I am looking for little spots in New York City to go back home.

Rumours swirled around which apartment would tempt Aniston into making the East Coast her home.

It has now been reported that she has purchased not one but two neighbouring apartments which she plans to turn into a 2,700 square foot duplex in the West Village.

Although spacious by New York City standards the apartments, at 3,000 square feet, will be a more manageable space for Aniston.

Kim Kardashian With Nets’ Kris Humphries on romantic Mexico getaway

kim n kris beach
Kim Kardashian recently took a trip to Mexico with her family as well as her boyfriend, New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries.

Kim Kardashian's romance with Kris Humphries reached new heights on a beach getaway in Mexico.

The 30-year-old reality TV star was quite literally swept off her feet as she frolicked in the sea with the NBA player, 26, in Puerto Mita, Mexico.

The pair were joined in Mexico by her sister Kourtney, who was celebrating her 32nd birthday, as well as her boyfriend Scott Disick, 26, and their 17-month-old son Mason.

"This is where Kourtney and Scott met, so it's a special place," the insider added.

Younger brother Rob, 24, tagged along for stay but sister Khloe, 26, who was recently told to lose weight by their mother Kris Jenner, and her husband Lamar Odom sat the holiday out.

The family stayed at a luxurious ocean front compound owned by Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis.

While the siblings enjoyed plenty of rest and relaxation, they didn't let their fitness regime slip.

The E! network stars both invest plenty of time in keeping in shape.

Kourtney hired celebrity trainer David Barton after she gave birth and Kim has recently recruited Tracy Anderson, who has worked with Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.

"My reality is never going to be stick-skinny," Kim has said. "I want to be fit for the long term."

Kim recently told Cosmopolitan magazine that she relies on the support of her famous sisters.

"Having a bunch of sisters is like built-in best friends," she said. "We pump each other up and compliment one another."

"Me and my sisters all have such different body types.Khloe is super-tall, with great legs; Kourtney is tiny with a great stomach. We embrace the fact that no one is really alike."

Selena Gomez On Relationship With Justin Bieber

selena gomes justin bieber
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber certainly aren't shy about their relationship. After months of skirting questions over whether she's dating Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez is now saying, “I don't like hiding.”
"I don't like hiding. I do like to keep certain things to myself, but at the end of the day, I'm 18, and I'm going to fall in love," she tells Seventeen magazine. "I'm going to hang out with people, and I'm going to explore myself, and I'm OK with that." Gomez said.
Regarding Bieber's fans, Gomez said:
"I do see the passion that a lot of these girls have, and it's beautiful. I love it. I really do. It's special."
Gomez, that sweetheart image can only go so far. I refuse to believe that anyone thinks Bieber's desperate, maniacal fans are “beautiful and special”. These are the same nut jobs who lock the kid into his own hotel room. Granted, I was thankful he was quarantined for at least a day, but I still don't get the hype.
Gomez has been very supportive of fellow Disney star Demi Lovato, who has been open about her personal issues including eating disorders and self-mutilation. "There's an amount of love that can never — no matter what — be taken away or torn apart, no matter the situation," Gomez said. "There are certain people who you will always, always love, so if anything, this just reminded me of how much I truly love her."
“When I went through my first breakup, I thought it was the end of the world, and I thought I was going to die if I didn't have him in my life," she says. "It was good to cry it out and just scream, or call my friends in the middle of the night crying."
I don't know what's more painful, going through a breakup, or having to take a 3a.m. call from your friend crying about how “I can still smell his scent on my pillow”.
Of the relationships in her life, Gomez added, "I've gotten to the point where the label of 'best friend' is so ridiculous. If you have three people in your life that you can trust, you can consider yourself the luckiest person in the whole world.

Justin Bieber thrown eggs at concerts

justin bieber concerts
Justin Bieber was working the stage with his usual mix of short stride strutting and virginal sex appeal at a concert in Sydney, Australia over the weekend, when a few dissident tweens let loose air-borne breakfast burritos for the Bieb. A flying "cluck you," one might say.

Luckily, he used his suave moves to dance around the incoming chicken bombs and avoid the yolky shrapnel, but it was, in any case, a rare crack in the love felt for the Canadian crooner. Generally, it's fans' enthusiasm that keeps him from making his moves around the city, not their cooped up rage.

Perhaps they were simply upset about the idea of losing some of their hero's music career to the big screen; Bieber is in talks to star with Mark Wahlberg in an upcoming film about a street baller.
