Pop stars Rihanna and Keri Hilson are gracing magazine covers.  Rihanna is posing on the cover of W magazine and talking about tattoos and Chris Brown.

Though her dulce de leche skin is lineless and her eyes bright as a baby’s even after a long workday, it’s easy to forget that Rihanna is only 21 years old. Perhaps that’s because she has released four hit-filled albums in only four years, making her debut at age 17 seem aeons ago. Or maybe it’s that her performances are a paradigm of cool self-possession; in the video for “Run This Town,” the Grammy-nominated song she recorded with Jay-Z and Kanye West last year, her voice is so full and centered, her panache so effortless, that she makes the world’s biggest hip-hop stars seem little more than backup singers. Finally, of course, it could be because, over the past year, she has endured not only the now infamous abuse by her then boyfriend Chris Brown but also the subsequent leaking of photos of her disfigured face, months of paparazzi stalking and incessant news coverage. The Barbadian-born pop star, however, has her own explanation for her preternatural maturity: “I’ve been paying my own bills since I was 17, living in a foreign country,” she says out of expertly shellacked fuchsia lips that are almost always perched in a half smile. “And I’ve always been a little older than my real age. People always said that to me, and I always felt that in my head.”

Keri Hilson delves deep into explaining her relationships with men in the new issue of Jet.

“I like a guy that is wise and can stimulate me with conversation..I don’t fancy entertainers or ballplayers..” –Keri Hilson

There have been some controversial statistics about why attractive, successful Black women are still single and looking.   Keri has access to eligible entertainers and ballplayers who have bank and clout. She doesn’t need to limit her dating pool to someone who is not in the same league and can barely offer conversation. C’mon girl. Why do beautiful,talented and intelligent sisters have to downplay their accomplishments to get a date? Do you think Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe were thinking about that before they landed their bankrolled ballers? Ask Tiger Woods about the technique. Beckys know how to play the field.

Chris Brown sat down for a one on one interview about the Rihanna assault on 20/20.  Chris Brown re-stated his apology and said he was sorry for beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna because he has never had a problem before with anger management or domestic violence.  During Rihanna’s 20/20 interview she described the amount of rage in Chris Brown’s eyes on the night of the attack and how scared she was because her lover was unrecognizable to her.

Chris also confessed to Robin Roberts that Rihanna cried when he played his song “Changed Man” for her privately.  We wonder how Rihanna feels about Chris Brown’s song “Famous Girl”.

The song is obviously about Rihanna where CBreezy mentions Riri’s alleged relationship rumors with Drake and admits he cheated on her with other women.  If Chris Brown wasn’t being spiteful he wouldn’t have resorted to putting her information on blast.
Chris Brown Interview On 20/20

Chris Brown reveals that his apologetic track “Changed Man” made Rihanna cry after he played it for her just one month after their February 8th altercation in Los Angeles. Rihanna had previously denied ever hearing the song, but Brown admits to ABC News’ Robin Roberts, “I played the song for her… The day I did it… a month after the situation. She called when she first heard the song. And I mean, I’m not trying to say—call her any liar or anything like that. But I played the song for her when I first wrote it. And she cried.”

Brown, whose new album Graffiti is out December 8th, has since been ordered to cease all communication with Rihanna and adhere to a restraining order after being sentenced to assault charges. Graffiti’s “Famous Girl” is another song clearly inspired by Brown’s relationship with the Rated R singer. In the track, Brown alleges that Rihanna had cheated on him prior to the February 8th incident, with Brown also singing “I might have cheated in the beginning, I was wrong for writing Disturbia” and ” Sorry I bust the windows out your car,” a reference to another supposed encounter between Brown and Rihanna.

“I was wrong for what I did,” Brown reiterates in his interview with Roberts. “And I would definitely say that it’s not something that I look past or look over. Something that’s really, really touchy. And, and like I said, I’m—I’m really sorry for—for what went down. And what happened.” Brown also admitted that his initial public apology to Rihanna that appeared on YouTube was “heavily coached,” however, “It was genuinely from me, but it wasn’t projected genuinely.”

CHRIS BROWN FAMOUS GIRL SONG LYRICS

Drake would say that you’re “The Best He Ever Had”
Rumors come and go but you keep your shadow
Everywhere you go, it follows
Can’t understand I still love you
(Watch the thugs talk about this one)

Cuz I thought I found the right woman
There were other guys who thought the same thing about her
Like, damn you let me down, down, down
You’re famous girl for breaking hearts

You’re famous girl, girl, girl
You’re famous girl, girl, girl
You’re famous girl, girl, girl
Shoulda known you’d break my heart, heart, heart

Keri would’ve said my love knocks her down
Keisha would’ve told me I was sent from heaven
Sorry B, I don’t wear no “Halo”
You were first to play the game, though
Sorry I bust the windows out your car
I might of cheated in the beginning
I was wrong for writing “Disturbia”
But I meant it in “Forever”,
We were sposed to be together
And I can’t let you go

While their albums are being released just weeks apart, former couple Chris Brown and Rihanna have been making similar promotional rounds recently, with both talking about his February assault on her as well as their LPs. And based on a listen to one of the songs on Brown’s upcoming effort, Graffiti — which drops on Tuesday but is available on MTV’s The Leak right now — it appears the 20-year-old singer may be speaking much more explicitly about their relationship in his lyrics than he has in the interviews he’s done to date.

Given the attention surrounding Brown’s attack on Rihanna and his subsequent guilty plea to felony assault in June, it’s not surprising that emotions and turmoil from the incident would spill into the albums, as Rihanna has said of Rated R. And while much of Graffiti is devoted to Brown’s typical come-ons to the ladies, the old-school-style R&B track “Famous Girl” features a string of provocative lyrics that had blogs and fans chattering as soon as it debuted on The Leak on Tuesday.

After making a reference in the second verse to Young Money rapper Drake and the rumored romance between him and Rihanna (”While we’re on Drake/ Say that you’re the best he’s ever had”) — a romance Drake was quick to deny — Brown alludes to “rumors coming” and says he “knows what you keep in shadow.”

The singer gets more explicit in the chorus, when he croons, “Since I thought I found my woman/ There were other guys who thought the same thing about it/ Like damn, you let me down, down, down/ ‘Cause you’re famous, girl, for breaking hearts.”

Given the public nature of the couple’s breakup and Brown’s reluctance to discuss what happened on the night of the assault or what led to the breakdown of their relationship, he gets surprisingly detailed in the second verse, when he quotes a Keri Hilson song (”Keri would’ve said my love knocks her down”), then nods to Keyshia Cole and Beyoncé tunes with the line “Keyshia would’ve told me I was sent from heaven/ Sorry, B, I don’t wear no halo”). He also seems to suggest that violence between them went both ways (”You were the first to play the game, though”) and appears to fess up to a reported earlier violent incident in which he allegedly smashed the window of a car the then-couple were driving after a heated argument (”Sorry I bust the windows out your car”), in this case Jazmine Sullivan’s “Bust Your Windows.”

Elsewhere in the song, Brown admits, “I might have cheated at the beginning,” and cryptically says, “I was wrong for writing ‘Disturbia,’ ” a seeming reference to the Rihanna track of that name, which he co-wrote. He then sings (referencing one of his own songs), “But I meant it in ‘Forever’/ We were supposed to be together/ And I can’t let you go.” He also later owns up to that fact that “Yes I’m famous, girl, for breaking hearts … didn’t know I’d break your heart.”

Brown has not yet discussed the song publicly, but he appears to come to grips with the ugly split near the end, when he sings, “Many hearts we should have left unbroken/ Empty words are better left unspoken/ Too much pressure, I wish I was frozen/ Seems we lost our way/ Now I hope you’re happy being famous, girl.”
