THE ROUND UP: RIHANNA TALKS ABOUT HER NEW MAN / DIDDY WON’T FACE CHARGES / SHAQ SELLING HIS HOUSE
Wednesday, November 7, 2007

Rihanna has reportedly confirmed she is dating Hollywood actor Josh Hartnett, insisting he is “really sweet”. The singer sparked rumors after a photo emerged of the couple at New York club Pink Elephant last month.
She told the Mirror:
“I’ve fallen for him big time. I would be lying if I (said) we were not more than just friends. He is so hot and he is really sweet to me. When we hang out it feels right - even though it’s still pretty new.” [source]
DIDDY WON’T FACE CHARGES
Sean “Diddy” Combs won’t face criminal charges for reportedly punching a man after a dispute at a New York nightspot last month, prosecutors said Tuesday.
The accuser (Steven Acevedo) stopped cooperating with law enforcement and also gave different versions of the incident, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said, and prosecutors weren’t able to prove criminal charges beyond a reasonable doubt. [ READ MORE ]
SHAQ SELLING HIS HOUSE
Shaquille O’Neal is rumored to have finally unloaded his Star Island mansion in Miami - and the buyer is soon-to-be former Yankee A-Rod, according to a report yesterday on Daily Business Review’s Web site.
Shaq has been trying to sell the place since the beginning of the year. He paid $18.8 million for it in 2004 and has sold it for between $25 million and $27 million. O’Neal doesn’t need the huge mansion now that he’s splitting from his wife, Shaunie.

Rihanna need to slow her role. Does she know she f*cking with somebody else man. She finna to get cut.

Well see about Shaq. I still dont get why he and Shaunie getting divorce.

Shaq selling that big ass house? *thumps down*
^ ^ ^ LMAO #5 AT THE DIDDY COMMENT…
It seems like every hip hop celebrity is getting arrested like Lil wayne, T.I, Da Brat, Trey Songz and T-pain…
Well t-pain already got out but other then that, diddy better be lucky cause the guy that he punched in the face could of sewed him and plus locked his ass up…Im telling you, some of these celebrity’s don’t be thinking…… *Shaking head*

Good for RiRi. She is young and enjoying life. Diddy is just tired to me. He does not interest me at all. You know he paid big time to the “uncooperating witness”. What a joke. He should be forced to pay for his actions. I hate clebs that think otherwise.
And as a Yankee fan…I hate A-Rod.

Diddy is lucky on this one but I felt like the dude he bitch slapped was just tryna get money any way. I hope He stays out of trouble.
Shaq was like Shaunie ain’t getting my mansion. Damn He really tryna make sure she leave with as lil he can possibly get away with. It’s sad cuz i read that Shaunie was tryna reconcile their marriage. I guess Shaq is done, finito, over!

RiRi do yo thang…I’m all for dating who you like regardless of color….I just hate it when a person tries to justify their reasons as to why they prefer a certain race to another by shittin’ all over what they don’t want….Like “some” (not all) black men that talk mess about black women cuz they want to date a white chick…I can’t stand that shit….And I haven’t heard Riahanna talking down on black men, so let her get her swerve on with white boy roy if she wants to…

I am not hating on RiRi. I think the diference between her and Taye is the simple fact that RiRi has a history of dating a few black men while Taye does not have a history of dating black women. Taye is not a good example it was better to use Wesley Snipes. He stated flat out how he will only date non-black women. There was not much outcry when Halle started seeing her current boyfriend because she was a serial dater of black men who dogged her out. Either way it is nominal factor to be concerned with. Let love take you through all the colors of the rainbow.

DAMN @ #7. That’s f*cked up.
Rihanna: No comment since Josh “supposedly” has a girlfriend already.

Shaq: Poor baby. I feel bad for him & Shaunie.

Its nice to see someone like Ri Ri getting a white star for a change. Alot of white girls love some Josh. I bet they are mad and plotting to this day to get him back to their side. Get em RiRi.
The problem with Taye is that he used black women to get big time, starring in movies geared toward black women and when he made it prime time, he’s goes for the shows that pair him with white women like he don’t need us now. I’m just tired of brothas like him using us to get to the top, as if they are slumming or something. White women are the same way, if Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, or Brad Pitt dated and married black women they would be lying if they say they wouldn’t have a problem with it too. Just that it hadn’t happened to white women enough for them to notice like it has to black women. They would feel jaded too!! I have cousins that date white guys and the boys’ mothers are mad

I was about to give on black men this summer and date the white boys…but then the Lord sent a wonderful black man to me.
Rihanna is just young, dumb, and in love. It ain’t gonna last. Her heart will get broken a few times before she turns 25…it’s reality!!!

To all of you sistas dating any & everything please listen up: You know how the game is played in TINSLETOWN meaning that Josh is gonna screw her for a minute to hit that Carribean Azz & then it will be over with & Rhi Rhi will be looking for another white boy or another TRANSFORMER (LOL) or some thugged out rapper so get ready ’cause it’s gonna happen!
As far as the IR dating thing goes please don’t sleep on my brothas because the white women are crazy for the black loving no matter how much you put us down they’re loving it! Please believe it! Peace.

Rihanna…happy you got a man, but she don’t need to be sleeping on the brothas either. Girl…keep ur options open. Y’all say she got a history with black men…I didn’t hear about it. If y’all talkin the crazy rumor bout Hov, then that don’t count. I heard Shia Labouf and this dude. That’s it. It’s funny because I personally think with the newest album and the white dudes she is giving attention to, she is trying to ease her way into white america and tinsle town’s elite to make that paper, cuz her album sure didn’t. I have noticed that Access Hollywood, E!, and ET (all the perdominately white news magazines) have suddenly been talking about Ri’s new relationship. They didn’t give a hoot about her before, and they would be talking bout the relationship if she was dating a ball player or even a black actor or singer.

I don’t believe Rihanna and Josh are dating . I think it is just a stunt to keep them both out there or for those other pics floating around with her backup dancers. I don’t really care but I really think the way they do things in the music industry to start a buzz or to keep people interested in them is such crap. If she is really with them how about take her to the awards show . Nope we see them in the club and all of the sudden the camera is clicking wow now they together. I don’t believe none of it. Besides he has been dating someone else for a year right? I mean come on. Lol . I like josh as a actor and he has been in some good movies but come on this is really sad. People go so low to get attention.

first off) rihanna needs to slow down. doesnt hartnett have a girl?
secondly) she needs to be careful with making things public. alot of the times when peole make relationships public esp. celebs who are in the limelight, their relationships fall apart. She needs to talk with him about it. She seems way too excited to be datin josh hartnett..its like girl slow down - this isnt highschool anymore, you know the media is going to try to destroy them

I don’t blame Josh, Rihanna is BONKABLE material anyway. I saw his new movie 30 Days Of Night. he was good in it, but how many times are they going to make movies about vampires?
As for Diddy, we all know that money talks, and bullshit walks.

I am a sucker for the idea of love and relationships, period. Black love is beautiful. But I also believe in following your heart so let them do them.
Ri-Ri likes the white meat, so what!!!! She must have the bomb though, cuz she left Shia LeBeouf twisted. My white homie been all over Hollywood trippin. He likes Black women anyway. I here his last relationship was with a Black girl and it lasted three years.
As far as Josh goes, he just likes them young and thick. He dated Scarlett Johanson and she is pretty thick for a white girl. Unfortunately for RiRi, Josh has a pattern and as soon as she gets too serious, he’ll bail. Black or not.

Bunch of unkept & wanabe Jamaicans and typical Africans here lol ) But dammm i’m kinda of mad seeing that fool with RIrI or w/e u nicknamed her, to make shit worse my white girl idolise that fuker, Its like I got bitch slapped by him. Now I know how it feels when a black sees you holding hand with a white girl, Kinda of disrespectul. Ineed me some Kelly Rowland, epitome of black beauty.

That child is black…. or 3/4 (her father is biracial, no?).
I hope Josh doesn’t already have a woman…. if so, Him and Rhianna need to be slapped.
To other women: don’t pop off at the mouth if the feeling isn’t mutual in private and public.

I believe the mirror is the tabloid that has bee criticized for writing faulty stories. They would do fake interviews and just make up things about people. So, if this quote is from the mirror I don’t believe it! Not say that she isn’t feelin him but I doubt she would put her personal life on blast like that cuz she said she never would.

3/4 don’t make you black , you more lenient towards the white side, That’s basic maths. ( I ain’t into the debate if shes white or not). Anyways enough of all these mixed peeps carrying the black torch because of black dollar. Lauren London would probably consider herself black aswell. Mmmmm did i just ignite something? lol ……Alicia Keys **scratches head**. Lets take it to the extreme, If you don’t need a weave on or hair attachment or is it extension you girls call them , the chances are you ain’t really black. But in the words of concreteloop . You better act like you know.
