Chris Pine & G4 Star Olivia Munn Caught on Tape
Where’s Spock with his Vulcan nerve pinch when you need him?
That thought may very well have?been on the mind of Star Trek?actor Chris Pine as he dined at Pace restaurant in L.A. on Tuesday night with his girlfriend, Olivia Munn, of G4’s Attack of the?Show.
“They were sitting at a small, private table, and it seemed like they didn’t want to be recognized,” an eyewitness tells E! News of the couple’s first outing caught on tape. The two have been linked, under the radar, for the past few months.
Unfortunately for Captain Kirk and his date,?any hope of keeping their relationship on the down-low proved futile?as they faced a throng of Klingons paparazzi upon leaving.
So, with no Scotty in sight to beam them up,?the two?were?forced to do the next best thing—hop in?their car and jump to warp speed.

Now that Chris and Olivia are dating, they no longer qualify for our Unhooked Hotties gallery.
Elton John Still Standing By Ukrainian Boy, Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Jamie McCarthy/WireImage.com Elton John is working on one heckuva sequel to The Captain and the Kid.
The pop icon may have been rejected in his bid to adopt a 14-month-old, HIV-infected Ukrainian boy and bring him back to Britain, but he still plans to support the Tiny Dancer who stole his heart.
Sir Elton’s longtime partner, David Furnish, tells BBC Radio that he and the 62-year-old John—who were forbidden to take custody of the child because Ukrainian law requires parents to be married (John and Furnish are in a civil union)—plan to provide financial assistance to the youngster, whose name is Lev, as well as his younger brother. That includes “making sure that they have the best health care, education and family options available to them,” says Furnish.
The children currently reside in an orphanage for HIV-positive kids.
“We’d love to adopt them and bring them back here to Britain, but the laws don’t support us in that regard, so we’re going to do everything we can from here and keep them in their own country,” Furnish adds, admitting he was “gutted” when they couldn’t follow through on their original plans but stressing that he and John will fight to change Ukraine law.
Says Furnish: “I’m hugely disappointed. Really felt we could make a huge difference in their lives, but we’ll make a difference from here.”

Rihanna Is Open To A Lesbian Romance
“All humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I could see myself in a relationship with a girl.” Rihanna won’t rule out a same-sex romance.
Meanwhile, her ex Chris Brown blames his public relations team for the disastrous video apology he posted online following his attack on Rihanna. In the footage, Brown admitted he was “very ashamed” of his “inexcusable” actions, but claimed he had been warned to keep quiet about the case for the sake of his own career. Brown was widely criticized for appearing to read his lines from a teleprompter with his detractors accusing him of being insincere in his apology.

Rihanna Found Peace In Recording Studio
Rihanna says she“found peace” while recording her new album. The singer recorded ‘Rated R’ a few months after being assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown and has revealed the recording studio became a haven for her as she tried to get over the attack.
“I hid out for a while, but that just drove me crazy. I got cabin fever. I was ready to make music again. It was a hard time, but I found peace in the studio.”
The ‘Russian Roulette’ singer deliberately chose to collaborate with people she had worked with before, including Justin Timberlake and Ne-Yo, to help her get over the ordeal. She explained to the USA Today newspaper:
“I wanted something grimy. It was important to have familiar people in the studio, for there to be a comfort level, because of what I wanted to say.”
“I didn’t want to talk about relationships. At least, I didn’t want to do just love songs. Love wasn’t what I wanted to talk about.
“Not all the songs are angry and sad. There are songs about having fun and having sex, and cocky, bragging songs like ‘Hard’ and ‘Wait Your Turn’.”
Anyone a fan of Rihanna’s new album?

Rihanna At SNL: Pictures and Video
Rihanna took to the Saturday Night Live stage for the first time this weekend, electrifying the classic sketch comedy show with her new, cropped blonde hair and performances from her recently-released fourth studio album, Rated R. She rocked out to “Russian Roulette” and “Hard,” which also featured Young Jeezy in a guest appearance
Ri-Ri even made an appearance in a digital short with SNL star Andy Samberg. Entertainment Weekly’s Ken Tucker thought this skit was pretty funny, especially Rihanna singing advice to Shy Ronnie (Adam Samberg)
Summit Can’t Get Enough of Those Vamps
Summit Entertainment (”The Twilight Saga”) is developing an action-oriented take on Dracula titled “Vlad,” written by actor Charlie Hunnam.
The studio is in negotiations with music video and photographer Anthony Mandler (Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater,” Rihanna’s “Disturbia”) to direct. Brad Pitt is producing with Dede Gardner via the duo’s Plan B Entertainment production company.
“Vlad” centers on Dracula as a young prince; he is known to history as Vlad the Impaler, the man behind the Dracula myth.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Summit revises their logo to have bats flying out of it, or sparkling vampires or some other shit like that.
Is It Time For Tiffany Evans To Take A Twitter Break?
Tiffany Evans is a great reminder of why celebrities need publicists.
One minute she’s accusing Rihanna of dabbling in devil worship via her first single, “Russian Roulette,” and the next she deletes the tweets and pretends she didn’t say it. Naturally, by then it’s too late once the screen caps get poppin’ around the Web.
Rihanna then responds to Tiffany Evans, saying she doesn’t know her or what she’s talking about.
I just wanna say that I personally do not have beef with Rihanna. Why would I have any beef with someone I don’t even know? It’s stupid. Whatever statements I made about the industry was not geared towards Rihanna in any type of way. What I said about RussianR was blown way out.So to Rihanna as young woman with total respect I apologize for the huge misunderstanding.
But she also touches on Rihanna’s comment about muting her with:
“Oh one more thing, about her calling me out with remote thing on big boi LOL I thought is was funny. Too bad I can Sang!”
Some took that as a slight to Rih-Rih’s vocals.
So now Tiffany is saying:
I met Rih alonng time ago! Even sang for her she was cool. I never disliked her or anything. I never called her a devil worshipper, Never said that RR was satanic at all. That was a rumour necole bitchie started. by the time I told her to take the stuff she adding in down, It was too late: it already spreading. Now everybody think I said something I NEVER said! I would never disrespect any of my peers. Yeah I even had my label try and reach out to her when that happened so she wouldn’t think I said anything like that. But it was too late soo. I’ll see her in person. Oh the Too bad I can “Sang” thing was not meant to diss her. She said she wish she can mute me, but I was saying it like how can you mute someone that sings for a living…even her. you can never really mute a singer. I wasn’t taking a jab at her voice. but ppl never analyze they always read things wrong ya know.”
So who’s fault is it now that her words were spread around? The bloggers, of course. Did a blogger actually force her hand and make her type those accusations? No, but it’s still a blogger’s fault.
This beef is silly and wouldn’t have started if a certain girl with a promise ring kept her baseless opinions to herself. Think before you post. That’s all I’m saying.

Fuse’s Top 20 Divas
I love a diva. So when I saw that Fuse was doing a special titled Top 20 Divas earlier this evening at 6 p.m., I immediately set my DVR to record. Truly, I had no idea what I was getting into: Would this be a video countdown with commentary? A VH1-style special that features talking heads—and sometimes the divas themselves—discussing what makes these Top 20 divas so damned special? A mix of the two?
Well, come to find out, it was just literally 20 videos from divas. But, honestly, it was one of the weirdest countdowns I’ve ever seen. To start with, let’s take a look at the show’s Top 20:
20. Taylor Swift, “Love Story”
19. Kelly Clarkson, “Since U Been Gone”
18. Katy Perry, “Waking Up in Vegas”
17. Keri Hilson (feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo), “Knock You Down”
16. P!nk, “Funhouse”
15. Alicia Keys, “No One”
14. Gwen Stefani, “Hollaback Girl”
13. Nelly Furtado, “Maneater”
12. Ciara (feat. Chamillionaire), “Get Up”
11. Pussycat Dolls (feat. Busta Rhymes), “Don’t Cha”
10. Christina Aguilera, “Ain’t No Other Man”
9. Mary J. Blige, “No More Drama”
8. Fergie, “London Bridge”
7. Shakira featuring Lil’ Wayne, “Give It Up to Me”
6. Britney, “Womanizer”
5. Lady Gaga, “Bad Romance”
4. Rihanna, “Russian Roulette”
3. Madonna (feat. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland), “Four Minutes”
2. Mariah Carey, “Obsessed”
1. Beyonc?, “Irreplacable”

Did SNL go too far?
Saturday Night Live” is making headlines for featuring a skit over the weekend, which parodied domestic violence.
On Saturday night’s episode, the NBC sketch comedy show made light of Tiger Woods’ scandalous week, satirizing reports – denied by the golfer – that his wife, Elin Nordegren, attacked him prior to his early-morning car accident on November 27 with a sketch featuring Keenan Thomson and host Blake Lively.
However, the show’s musical guest was Rihanna – a victim of domestic violence earlier this year from then-boyfriend Chris Brown — prompting concerns from several media outlets that the show’s humor was insensitive from some corners.
“It was another sketch that gave us pause,” noted PopEater in an article titled “‘SNL’ Lampoons Alleged Violence in Tiger Woods’ Marriage,” on Sunday. “We think, had the genders been reversed, ‘SNL’ wouldn’t make light of the potentially violent situation.”
Female-oriented site Jezebel called the sketch one of the show’s “obvious missteps… when you consider that Rihanna was the night’s musical guest.”
While over on The TV Squad blog, a writer called out the Rihanna connection.
“As soon as this sketch started, I immediately thought, ‘Oh, no! Stop the sketch! Rihanna might see,’” adding, “Had the tables been turned and a man was suspected of beating up his wife, there definitely wouldn’t be a lighthearted sketch like this. But since it’s female-on-male domestic violence, our current culture deems it kind of, sort of okay to make fun of and the scandal had to be addressed before it lost heat.”
And commenters on sites including Entertainment Weekly and The Huffington Post also raised their voices over the sketch.
“The Tiger Woods sketch was terrible. Domestic abuse is NOT funny. It was even more awkward since Rihanna was there,” a commenter named Lindsey noted on EW.com.
“Emotional and Physical violence is toxic and not funny,” thelipstickfemme wrote on TheHuffingtonPost.com.
i dunno how i feel about this.
Rihanna On SNL
Here’s Rihanna’s sketch on ‘Saturday Night Live’ (SNL) from last night. Entertainment Weekly’s Ken Tucker thought this skit was pretty funny, especially Rihanna singing advice to Shy Ronnie (Adam Samberg), and I have to agree with him 
Blake Lively was the host. Unfortunately, I missed the show, but if you caught it, then what did you think? And what do you think of this skit?
