Rihanna’s Back — Literally — To Her Old Instagram Habits

Rihanna for River Island Store Launch Afterparty - Arrivals

Well, it’s been a long while since one of her pictures via Instagram made some kind of interesting headline — so of course, the girl who claims it’s “Nobody’s Business” is making it her business by turning the other cheek.

Literally.

After the jump, you’ll find a new pic of Rihanna showing off some killer new Prada boots — and her ass in a g-string — for no other reason than she could.

    RiRi instagrammed the pic … along with the following message: “Gotcha bitch tip toeing on my marble flo’!!! Sick ass custom Prada boots! Miuccia you RULE!!! Thank you.”

Once upon a time, I swear the girl was mentioned more for her music than anything else.

Apparently, she still is doing that music thing, though — her Diamonds World Tour is set to kick off in a few days.

Anyway, if you’re into that sort of thing, head on after the jump for the somewhat NSFW pic.

70′s TV Icon Has Little Time Left

64th Annual Tony Awards - Arrivals

“I don’t think of dying,” 73-year-old actress Valerie Harper tells People in their new issue. “I think of being here now.”

Sadly, that time is falling extremely short for the popular actress in the classic television series, The Mary Tyler Moore Show: the woman who made Mary’s BFF Rhoda Morgenstern come to life, announced that she’s battling terminal brain cancer and that doctors have given her about 3 months to live.

    Harper, a lifelong nonsmoker who was previously diagnosed with lung cancer in March 2009, had been making the promotional rounds for her memoir, I, Rhoda, in January when she fell ill.

Harper’s character eventually was given a just-as-popular spin-off (entitled Rhoda) that lasted five seasons before being cancelled in 1978, but has appeared in many movies and television shows over the years including Sex and the City (her episode is actually one of my all-time favorites), The Simpsons and as of late, Drop Dead Diva.

May she hold onto the strength and positivity she exudes throughout this trying time.

If You’re Crazy And You Know It…

Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Style Issue Event - Arrivals

Usually, a stalker doesn’t seem to understand what going too far actually means — because that whole threat of “love me or die” is always OK — but in the case of actress Alyson Hannigan’s recent problem in that area, the guy seriously scares himself enough to know he needs to keep a good distance from the How I Met Your Mother star.

Back in February, she gained an order of protection against stalker John Hobbs, who had sent her “harassing messages online” and threatened to kill her.

But in court today, Hobbs actually agreed he was a threat to her and promised to do just what he was ordered to — stay 100 yards away from her and her family for three years.

Now, if only other people got the point so easily.

People like Edward Furlong, perhaps? Just sayin’.

Jon Stewart’s “Daily” Hiatus

64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Press Room

It’s a rarity to take some time off from your job — to take on another job.

But when it comes to The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart, he’s doing just that.

The political comedian is taking off for 3 months this summer to direct his first film, Rosewater. The film is based off the memoir, Then They Came For Me: A Family’s Story Of Love, Captivity And Survival by Maziar Bahari, a journalist who spent 118 days in an Iranian prison after it was believed he was a spy.

And oddly enough, it was partially based on the fact that Bahari did an interview on The Daily Show.

    While Stewart is a comedian by trade, the movie will not be a comedy. He told The New York Times that that the film came about due to his friendship with Bahari after his appearances on the show. “It just kind of happened,” he said.

John Oliver, a British comedian (and correspondent for the show), will fill in for 8 weeks of Jon’s time off.

Justin Passes Out In London

Maybe he was having too much fun in ol’ London town.

At a third night appearance at London’s 02 (no word on when we arrived this time), Justin Bieber was definitely off his game and eventually left the stage, complaining of having trouble breathing.

Wow — I wonder what that possibly could’ve stemmed from.

According to a few eyewitnesses at the show, it appeared that the 19 year old actually passed out on stage following mentioning to the crowd that he wasn’t feeling too well.

After leaving the stage for a bit, Justin’s manager, Scooter Braun came out  told the crowd that the Biebs had been complaining of having trouble breathing since earlier and was being checked by EMTs on the scene — but Justin was well enough to come back out and finish the show in it’s entirety before heading directly to the hospital afterwards to get properly checked out.

The singer managed to share a pic of himself in a hospital bed — because you know, that’s what you do when you complain of having breathing troubles — and said he was already “getting better” and “figuring out what happened”.

So let’s see: a bad week that pretty much made you look more and more douche like as time went on and suddenly, a crisis that sends you to the hospital.

Yeah, nothing strange about that at all.

Well, he also could’ve possibly just been freaking out to news that once again, his friend Lil’ Twist took one of his cars on a joyride and managed to wreck it this time around.

Oh — and apparently, Twist fled the scene of the crime after crashing into cement poles outside of a liquor store.

And if you were keeping count, this is about the fifth time Justin’s buddy’s been reckless with one of his cars.

Let’s hope Justin will have a much better week beginning Monday — he should start by getting some new friends.

Kelly Osbourne Hospitalized

85th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals

Just a few hours before Justin ended up in a hospital bed, Kelly Osbourne also had a scary moment that sent her to one — she had a seizure while filming an episode of E”s Fashion Police.

    Kelly was sitting in a chair, shooting the show in front of a full studio audience.  Melissa Rivers was sitting next to her, filling in for Giuliana Rancic.  Kelly turned to Melissa and said, “I don’t feel good,” and then she fell out of the chair and started shaking.  Melissa then turned Kelly’s head to help her.  Someone from the audience — some kind of emergency responder — then ran up and helped.

    Kelly came around a few moments later, but her handlers wanted to have her hospitalized anyway. We’re told it’s the first time Kelly has ever suffered a seizure.

Earlier word mentioned that the 28-year-old only fainted, but the full story was eventually released. No one knows what caused the seizure and no other details are known at the moment.
Kelly was already not doing so great after deciding not to fall into an open public toilet and spraining her ankle last week.
Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for her.

A Joy-Less View

Say it ain’t so!

The final original cast member of morning girl-gab-fest The View, Joy Behar, has decided to leave the show after 16 and a half seasons.

She will remain on the show until August.

“It seemed like the right time,” she said in a statement to Deadline, which broke the news. “You reach a point when you say to yourself, ‘Do I want to keep doing this?’ There are other things on my plate I want to do.”

The 70-year-old mentioned that she wanted to get back into her stand-up, which she feels she’s been “neglecting” due to her View duties as well as talk shows on HLN and the now Al-Jazerra owned Current TV — which will end completely once the full takeover comes.

“I have a lot of friends there [at ABC], and I will miss everyone I’ve worked with because we have a family there,” she continued.  “It is a smart talk show because somebody of her stature is leading the conversation; Barbara [Walters] was one of the main reasons I took that job.”

Rumor has it that it’s not going to be the only change: the show is said to be headed for a “reboot” of sorts for season 17 — with the possibility of Walters and Elizabeth Hasselbeck also exiting.

ABC also released a statement praising Behar and saying she was “instrumental in the success of The View from the very beginning. We wish her all the best in this next chapter, and are thrilled that we have her for the remainder of the season.”

Onto bigger and better things!
