She doesn’t like to be taken advantage of, and Rihanna has filed a lawsuit regarding her leak-ridden $6.9 million Beverly Hills home.
The “Russian Roulette” songstress claims that the woman who sold her the home, as well as the real estate company and property inspectors deceived her by not disclosing that the roof had multiple leaks.
And after a 2010 rainstorm, Ri-Ri discovered that her house, purchased back in 2009, had sustained considerable water damage.
Now, Rihanna says, the home is “uninhabitable” and “laden with construction defects” and she’s seeking unspecified damages.
With their friends on the east coast wanting a chance to celebrate and congratulate the newlyweds, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were bestowed a lavish post-wedding soiree in New York City on Wednesday night (August 31).
The E! reality star and her NBA playing husband were both all dressed up as they were the guests of honor at the Jason Binn and Colin Cowie hosted "A Night of Style & Glamour" celebration at Capitale.
Prior to the nighttime festivities, Kim excitedly tweeted, "Can't wait to be welcomed to NYC tonight by @JasonBinn & @ColinCowie ...be sure to follow them for gr8 pics. They know parties!"
Joining in on the festivities, which included endless amounts of the finest cuisine, alcohol and a cake presentation ceremony, were Kim's sister Kourtney, as well as La La Anthony, Eric Kelly, Paul Schaffer, Ramona Singer, Tinsely Mortimer and Alex McCord, among many others.
Meanwhile, Kim continues to spill details about her lavish wedding - which airs during a two-part E! special on October 8-9th - as she most recently revealed what her bridesmaids received for taking part in the nuptials.
Kim wrote, “As a gift from me to all of my bridesmaids, I had custom Judith Leiber bags made with each bridesmaid’s initials on them! I also got bags for my mom and for Kris’s mom, Debra! Judith also custom made me a handbag replica of my wedding cake! It’s one of a kind!”
With the DVD version of her "4 Intimate Nights" set at the Roseland Ballroom due for release in the near future, Beyonce Knowles has opened up about her new-found artistic freedom and hope for the future in a pair of all-new behind-the-scenes clips.
While offering fans a glimpse of what it took to put on the critically-acclaimed spectacle, the "Single Ladies" songstress was asked, "What do you do after 16 Grammys and millions of records sold?" To this, she replied, "Whatever makes you happy."
With their relationship moving full steam ahead, Jennifer Aniston was alongside boyfriend Justin Theroux for a doctor's appointment in Beverly Hills, CA on Wednesday (August 31).
The former "Friends" star sucked on a fresh lollipop as she hopped into the passenger seat of her car while her actor beau followed closely along after the midday checkup.
The outing comes just as Miss Aniston's new TV effort "Project Five" released its trailer - with the Lifetime backed feature set to air on October 10th.
"Project Five" is a combination of five stories of lives connected and affected by cancer, with big names such as Demi Moore and Alicia Keys also partaking.
Allowing for things to be a little more public than his former employer prefers, the arbitrator overseeing the case between Charlie Sheen, Warner Bros. and "Two and a Half Men" co-creator Chuck Lorre has denied the studio's request for a gag order surrounding the proceedings.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, all parties are now allowed to speak freely to the press regarding any such issues regarding the case.
Despite the decision, the media is still banned from the arbitration itself, as well as all “sensitive and proprietary” details during the hearings.
Back in June, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that the case, which stems from Sheen's firing from the number one sitcom, would be deliberated privately and would not be heading to a public trial.
Taking their partnership one step further, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen traveled to Tegucigalpa, Honduras alongside TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie earlier this summer to deliver shoes to children in need.
The talented fashionistas, along with a group of other charitable pals, visited the area where they toured classrooms, spent time with community members and, most importantly, bestowed much-needed footwear to the schoolkids.
Documenting the touching event, Mary-Kate and Ashley filmed their experience, of which Ashley told, "We're very aware of Blake's work and what he was doing and trying to accomplish and it's something, obviously, we wanted to be a part of. The children are so special and kind and loving and welcoming...they're just incredible!"
Her twin sister added, "It's really taught me a little bit more about myself and how I can be more affectionate and loving and how putting a smile on a kid's face is, well...there's nothing like it!"
The Olsen's trip comes as a result of their label The Row's limited-edition collaboration with TOMS, where for each TOMS + The Row shoe is sold, a well-deserving child in need receives a pair of shoes.
He's been hard at work promoting his latest project, the mystery/drama "Abduction," but Taylor Lautner still found the time to rave about his pal Kristen Stewart and her new role as Snow White.
While chatting with E! News, the 19-year-old heartthrob couldn't help but gush about his "Twilight" co-star, in which he said Kristen is "going to be cool and edgy and dark" while adding that he thinks her lead in "Snow White and the Huntsmen" is "really exciting."
Not to be left out, Taylor also commented on his "Abduction" cast member, Lily Collins, who stars in yet another rendition of "Snow White."
“I can root for both of them. They’re so different… Lily’s also going to be great, but in a completely different feel," Lautner explained.
She’s lighting up theater screens all over the nation in her new movie “The Help,” and Bryce Dallas Howard has also scored a gig with Kate Spade New York.
The “Twilight Saga: New Moon” babe will be featured in the label’s new campaign to launch two flagship boutiques in London in September.
Kate Spade New York creative director Deborah Lloyd told press she’s pumped to be bringing such style across the pond to her homeland.
"As a Brit, I am thrilled to be opening two kate spade new york stores in London! We are in an amazing expansion mode right now, with openings around the world, and [...] I am eager to find out how the ever stylish London girls will work kate spade new york pieces into their look."

Having made their love for one another official on Saturday (August 27), Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' wedding day pictures offer a glimpse of the newlyweds partaking in their cherishing moment.
The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.
As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."
Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.
Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).
The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.
Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).
During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”
She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.
Unable to sleep through the nasty conditions, the Skinnygirl mogul began her Twitter tear at 3AM by writing, "I can't sleep. So nervous. The wind is so loud outside.what's the update?tv will wake everyone."
An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."
The "Bethenny Ever After" star's anxiety reached its peak at around 7:30AM, as she tweeted, "We just lost electricity.this b**ch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here."
In the following hours, Bethenny posted a series of photos including one of herself looking quite unkempt along with numerous shots from her home and neighborhood, with her latest message reading, "I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous."
Along with Frankel, numerous fellow celebs were active on Twitter while sending well-wishes and personal experiences via Twitter. A few of the many postings are as follows:
Ivanka Trump Majors wind and big waves in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. How are you faring through #Irene? Be safe! #hurricane
Nick Jonas So much hype about #Irene will be interesting to see this all plays out. Everyone stay safe.
Kourtney Kardashian More powerful prayers for the east coast. Don't forget how powerful prayer can be!

Adding another gig to her expanding resume, Olivia Munn is joining the cast of “Magic Mike.”

Other big names gracing the movie’s cast include Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer, Riley Keough, Cody Horm and Gabriel Iglesias.
