Rihanna is the cover girl for May's Elleedition on sale April 17. In the magazine, she talks Chris Brown, the backlash from him being back in her life and kids. The singer looks beautiful as always, but it is what she says in the magazine that is catching the public's eye.
What she said about the backlash from having Chris back in her life:
“The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently. It’s very hard for me to accept, but I get it. People end up wasting their time on the blogs or whatever, ranting away, and that’s all right. Because tomorrow I’m still going to be the same person. I’m still going to do what I want to do.”
What she said about the Chris Brown break-up:
“It gave me guns. I was like, well, f**k. They know more about me than I want them to know. It’s embarrassing. But that was my opening. That was my liberation, my moment of bring it. […] Now you know that, so you can say what you want about it. I don’t have anything to hide.”
On having children:
“It could be tomorrow. It could be 20 years from now. I just feel like when the time is right, God will send me a little angel. But first, of course, I have to find a man. I mean, there’s a very important missing piece to the puzzle here!"

Mary J. Blige has been heavily criticized for a Burger King commercial that went viral in which she is singing excitedly about their new chicken wrap. Many African-Americans have said it is "stero-typical" about the association of African-Americans and chicken. Burger King has since taken the video from YouTube and apologized to Mary J. Blige and anyone offended by the commercial. Mary told TMZ:
“I agreed to be a part of a fun and creative campaign that was supposed to feature a dream sequence. Unfortunately, that's not what was happening in that clip."
Burger King has said the ad was released "before all of the licensing and final approvals were obtained. They also added, "We would like to apologize to Mary J. and all of her fans for airing an ad that was not final."

A "spoon with a white crystal-like substance on it" and a "white powdery substance" — which we know was later tested and determined to be cocaine — was found in the hotel room where Whitney Houston died … this according to the singer's final autopsy report.
The report , which gives a detailed description of Whitney's room when officials arrived, says "Located on the south portion of the counter was a small spoon with a white crystal-like substance in it and a rolled up piece of white paper, along with other miscellaneous items."
"Located in the top drawer, in the north side of the counter were remnants of a white powdery substance, and a portable mirror on a base." Officials found more white powder on the base of the mirror."
The report also states, "[Whitney] possibly overdosed on a narcotic substance, prescription medications, over the counter medications and alcohol."
According to the report, Whitney's body was discovered FACE DOWN in the bath tub … with a "bloody purge coming from her nose." Officials say there were no signs of foul play.
The report notes Whitney had a history of substance abuse … which was evident by a "perforation of posterior nasal septum."

If you didn't think actor, Ryan Gosling was hot or sexy, you will at least give him credit for being a "hero". Yesterday, he saved a British journalist, Laurie Penny life literally and not in a movie. He prevented her from getting by a car. The woman took to her twitter account and wrote:
"I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened." She continued, "I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi."
"He did not say 'hey, girl.' He said 'hey, watch out!' Identity of no-idea-if-actually-a-manarchist-but-definitely-a-decent-sort Ryan Gosling confirmed by girl near me, who said 'you lucky bitch."
The journalist isn't to keen about all the media attention surrounding Ryan Gosling saving her life. She wrote via twitter:
“I don’t believe that the fact that A-list celebrities occasionally act like human beings is in itself news” — then points out how messed-up American priorities are.
“Americans are very strange. They can and do hyperventilate about the most everyday happenings as if they are the most important thing in the world, and then they act completely normal when public conversations are had about war on Iran and war on women’s bodies and when Rick Santorum is considered a serious presidential candidate. The real heroes I’ve met in America are risking everything to make sure that the United States doesn’t slide further into bigotry, inequality and violence whilst everyone is distracted by the everyday doings of celebrities.”
