Chris Brown Did Not Want You To See Him At Rihanna’s Birthday Party

Did you see photos of Chris Brown at Rihanna‘s birthday party at the Hearst Mansion on Monday? No? That might have a little something to do with all the confidentiality agreements Brown made everyone sign. Yup, according to TMZ, the singer allegedly required both employees of facility and “anyone who was caught videotaping/snapping” a photo of him to put their John Hancock on the form. Seeing as how he and Rihannawere allegedly “holding hands” during the party, we can see why Chris would want to avoid the insane fan freakout that would come with photos of canoodling. Though rumors that Chris is set to cameo on Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake” remix isn’t exactly going to help stop the gossip…

Meanwhile, Chris Brown has denied allegations that he used the worst pick-up line of all time on a woman this past weekend. According to Us Weekly, “Can I get your number? I promise I won’t beat you!” was the awful, awful line a woman claimed Chris used at the Lasio Professional Hair Care Grammy gift lounge. “That is absurd and absolutely not true,” the singer told TMZ. “I did not say that nor would I joke about that.” Not if he didn’t want to be doused with high-end hair care products, he wouldn’t!

Kobe And Vanessa Bryant Join Our List Of 30 Off-Again-On-Again Celeb Couples

The basketball ex-wife was was spotted cheering on her old flame at a Valentine’s Day Lakers game, and TMZ snapped the two sharing a kiss.

Lil Kim To Nicki Minaj: I Know You Are, But What Am I?

At this rate, the Nicki Minaj vs. Lil Kim beef could keep us entertained for years to come. The feuding hip-hop ladies both released singles this week, and Kim stopped by Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, ostensibly to promote hers, “If You Love Me.” Of course, fellow guest Willie Geist asked what Kim thought of the Grammy performance by a “hip-hop artist who kind of rips off your style”? “Who?” Kim asked, sarcastically saying that it “slipped past” her. But then when host Andy Cohen said viewers sent in a number of questions about Nicki’s “Stupid Hoe” — assumed to be a direct dis of Kim — the Queen Bee got a little more direct.

“I’m pretty sure I feel the same way everybody else feels right about now,” she began. “If you have to make a song called ‘Stupid Hoe,’ you must be a stupid ho.” (And if you release a mixtape showing yourself sitting beside the disembodied head of your rival, what does that make you? Hmmm.)

In non-beef news, Kim shared a very sweet story about sitting next to Whitney Houston on an airplane and getting her ear talked off by the late diva.

Watch Out, Nicki Minaj, We Spy A Barbie Trend!

We all know Nicki Minaj prides herself on her exaggerated style — and we’re not sure which came first, the Barbie nickname or her love of wearing Malibu Barbie pink clothing. So it wasn’t too surprising to see her pink and electic blue ensemble at last night’s MAC Viva Glam event. What was surprising, however, was to see a photo of Michelle Williams in a Christian Dior gown that was a very Barbie (or Barbz, for that matter) shade of pink at the Paris premiere of My Week With Marilyn. Three’s a trend, the saying goes, so we’re counting the news that Mattel is releasing 11-inch dolls modeled after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in April, to celebrate William and Kate’s first anniversary. Now, doesn’t that make it seem like, for one day at least, everyone was feeling a little nostalgic for their tiny plastic Corvette and miniature high heels and that dream house with the elevator that only one Barbie at a time could ride? Oh, and there were horses and dogs too, and a costume for every career in existence. Damn, Barbie had it all, didn’t she?
