Ne-Yo Won’t Write a Chris Brown Diss Song for Rihanna
View The Interview HERE.
Almost everyone has been expecting some kind of Chris Brown diss song to emerge from Rihanna’s upcoming album, and we know one thing is for sure, Ne-Yo will not have a hand in the production of such a song, if it even exists.
Ne-Yo feels that there shouldn’t be any more attention put on the situation. He says,
“I’ve done some stuff for Rihanna’s [project. I didn't really want to go there too much, because I know that's what everybody is expecting. I don't think there isn't a person alive that doesn't know what happened and what it was. I don't feel like it needs to be glorified. I don't think that needs to be a song that's sung or written."
“It's sad that it took that happening to get the attention it deserves. Women get beat up all the time, and nobody says anything about it or chooses to do anything about it. But now that it happened to a celebrity, [it's], ‘Let’s talk about it on Oprah Winfrey.’ “
He continues and says that his friendship to Chris is stopping him from making a diss track,
“Chris Brown is a friend of mine, and I don’t view him as a bad guy for what happened. It was an absolute mistake, and he has some lessons to learn and some maturing to do. But I’m not gonna bash him for that. I’m not gonna turn my back on a person I call my friend because he made a mistake. [So] I can’t write the Chris Brown bash song and then turn around and look myself in the mirror.”

Rihanna & Jay-Z Goes Clubbing In London
Rihanna and Jay Z went out together last night in London, and a certain Mrs. Jay-Z was nowhere to be seen. Jay-Z hit up London club Vendome minus Beyonce, but with Rihanna instead.
The two sat in the VIP area of the club, taking up two tables so that all of their entourage could have a spot to sit as well. And it didn’t take long for them to ring up a $12,000 bar tab!
An eyewitness tells the Daily Mail, “They had two of the VIP booths, so all of their people could mingle together. Jay–Z ordered countless bottles of Dom Pérignon champagne along with vodka for both tables and the party really gathered pace.”
“Everyone was trying to get into their area to get a glimpse of them but the security was so tight, many were left standing by the roped off area trying to sneak a peak.”
Sounds like they had a good time, and that Chris Brown’s public apology to Rihanna wasn’t exactly on her mind that night.
The source says, “As she left the VIP area she looked in high spirits – but she kept her head down as she made her way out of the club at 3am, avoiding questions from fans as to how she was doing.”
As I didn’t have time to upload any pics, but I will soon, in the meantime you can see them on RihannaDaily.

Chris Brown’s Public Apology To Rihanna
Chris Brown’s official youtube account has uploaded a video of Chris explaining his situation to all fans and apologizing once again to Rihanna.
Here’s the whole speach that he said:
“Hi, I’m Chris Brown. Since february my attorney has adviced me to not speak out, even though since the incident I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility. Although I would do some interviews and answer some questions in the future, I felt it was time you herd directly from me that I am sorry. I have tried to live my life in a way that would make those aorund me proud of me, and until recently, I think I was doing a pretty good job. I wish I had the chanse to live those few moments again, but unfortunately I can’t. I cannot go into what happened, and most importantly, I’m not going to sit here and make any excuses. I take great pride in me being able to exersice self-control and what I did was inexcusable. I’m very sad and very ashamed of what I’ve done. My mother and my spiritual teachings have taught me way better than that.
I have told Rihanna countless times and I’m telling you today that I am truly, truly sorry and that I wasn’t able to handle the situation better. I’ve done alot time soul searching, and over the last several month’s I’ve talked to my minister and my mother..and I’ve spent alot of time trying to understand what happened and why. I’ve let a lot of people down and I realized that. No one is more disappointed in me than I am.
No one is more disappointed in me than I am. As many of you know, I grew up in a home where it was domestic violence and I saw firsthand what uncontrolled rage could do. I have sought and am continuing to sek help to insure that what happened in february can never happen again. As I sit here today, I can tell you I will do everything in my power to make sure that it never happens again, and I promise that. What I did was unacceptable, 100%. I can only ask and pray that that you forgive me, please. I hope that others learn from my mistakes. I intend to live my life so that I’m truly worthy of the term “role model”.
Thank You.”
Do you accept his apology? As a fan, I DO!

Rihanna In London – July 19th
Yesterday the lucky fan Bizu met Rihanna once again ouside her hotel (The Soho Hotel) in London.
Here’s what Bizu said in RihannaDaily’s forum:
I met Rihanna again today (July 19). It was outside her hotel in London and she was really sweet… She’s getting nicer every time I see her. There was a couple of us outside and although she rushed in her car she stopped and opened her car door to sign and take pics with all of us. She remebered me and she made sure I got a photo as her security was getting anxious to leave. I don’t know where she was going but she looked amazing!

Jay-Z to Duet With Rihanna and Kid Cudi in ‘Blueprint 3′
Jay-Z reportedly has tapped Rihanna and Kid Cudi as his collaborators in his forthcoming studio album “Blueprint 3″. In addition, he is also rumored to collaborate with MGMT, Drake and Mr. Hudson in the new project.
“Blueprint 3″ is the third installment of Jay-Z’s Blueprint album series. It is slated for September 11 U.S. release, and is aimed to follow up its predecessors “The Blueprint” (2001) and “The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse” (2002).
“This being the end of the trilogy, I wanted to bring it full circle,” Jay-Z said of the new effort. “The first ‘Blueprint’ was based on soul samples and more of a place where I came from and the records I listened to growing up with my mom and pop. This ‘Blueprint,’ I liken it to a new classic, simply because we — Usher, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce [Knowles], myself — are becoming the people that we looked up to musically growing up, like Marvin Gaye and Frank Sinatra.”
