Rihanna Pours It Up

Rihanna stays true to her party girl image, and why shouldn’t she? The ‘Pour It Up’ singer took to Instagram to share her backstage antics with her followers by posting a few pics as she sat on the floor with a wine bottle to her lips, with the caption: ‘Po it the phuck up!!!’

RiRi must’ve worked up a thirst because in the first pic the bottle was completely full as she posed while taking her first sip, while in the next one it was half empty.

Rumor has it that RiRi is planning to drop a million dollars on Chris Brown’s birthday present.

“Rihanna has spent more than a million dollars on his main gift — a custom-made car,” a source told Naughty But Nice Rob. “She’s had his initials put on the red leather seats.”

Jason Collins Comes Out As First Openly Gay Player

Washington Wizards center Jason Collins has become the first male athlete in a major professional sport to come out as gay. The baller revealed his sexuality in an interview with Sports Illustrated:

I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay.

I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, “I’m different.” If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I’m raising my hand.

Why did he choose to come out now?

Well, I started thinking about this in 2011 during the NBA player lockout. I’m a creature of routine. When the regular season ends I immediately dedicate myself to getting game ready for the opener of the next campaign in the fall. But the lockout wreaked havoc on my habits and forced me to confront who I really am and what I really want. With the season delayed, I trained and worked out. But I lacked the distraction that basketball had always provided.

When I was younger I dated women. I even got engaged. I thought I had to live a certain way. I thought I needed to marry a woman and raise kids with her. I kept telling myself the sky was red, but I always knew it was blue.

I realized I needed to go public when Joe Kennedy, my old roommate at Stanford and now a Massachusetts congressman, told me he had just marched in Boston’s 2012 Gay Pride Parade. I’m seldom jealous of others, but hearing what Joe had done filled me with envy. I was proud of him for participating but angry that as a closeted gay man I couldn’t even cheer my straight friend on as a spectator. If I’d been questioned, I would have concocted half truths. What a shame to have to lie at a celebration of pride. I want to do the right thing and not hide anymore. I want to march for tolerance, acceptance and understanding. I want to take a stand and say, “Me, too.”

Once the news broke, Jason got tons of support from celebs on Twitter including one of the presidential kind from former President Bill Clinton whose daughter Chelsea was a former classmate of the baller.

So proud of you Jason! I can’t wait for the day when this doesn’t even have to be a story. Let’s hope more players are inspired by you to have to courage to be themselves! You are definitely a trailblazer!

Tia Mowry Dishes On How She Keeps Romance Alive

Tia Mowry-Hardrict who recently renewed her vows with husband Cory, took to her blog to share her tips on how to keep the romance in a relationship alive.:

“I met my amazing husband 14 years ago. There’s been good times and challenges, but in the end, I am blessed and beyond blissful to get to spend the rest of my life with such a kind and Godly man,” Tia writes.

Here are her tips for keeping romance alive in a relationship:

Go on unique dates: After a husband and wife (or even girlfriend and boyfriend) have been together for awhile, dates sort of fade into the background – after all, dates are what you do when you are getting to know each other in the beginning of the relationship, right? Wrong! It’s so important that couples still go on dates, no matter how long they’ve been together. It gives you guys quality alone time to really just focus on each other. If the standard “dinner and a movie” starts feeling routine, start thinking of unique dates to go on with each other. Crazy, adrenaline-rushing activities are so much fun to do with your significant other, but even a low key hike through a trail you’ve never been to before can get you out of a relationship rut.

Show your love: You might not think the little things matter once you’ve been together for a while, but they really do. Small things like flowers or handwritten notes really show your significant other you don’t take them for granted. It also helps remind you of the excitement you felt when your relationship first started. You don’t always have to buy things either – simple touches like surprising them with breakfast in bed or making an old fashioned mix tape are all sweet ways to show your love. I wouldn’t turn down a nice back massage either…

Be verbal: When your hubby looks fine in that suit of his, tell him! A lot of times, all it takes is a couple of loving words here and there every day to keep a relationship strong throughout the years. Especially as women, if we take an hour to get ready for something, then we want to know our efforts are being appreciated! Lol. Don’t be afraid to tell your significant other you’re proud of him, or love him, or that think he looks sεxy after mowing the lawn! Lol.

Get sεxy: After you’ve been with one person for awhile, it’s easy to fall into what I call the “sweats” rut. That is, you no longer feel like you have to impress them and start paying less and less attention to your appearance, and every day becomes a sweats and t-shirt kind of day. Now I’m definitely not saying that you need to be frantically hitting the gym everyday to keep the body you had 5 years ago, but it is important to remember to still make an effort sometimes. Swipe on some red lipstick, sleek back your hair and put on aLBD to surprise him one night – it will not only make you feel attractive (which, I don’t know about you guys, but always puts me in a good mood :) , but it will remind him of his attraction to you! And remember, some sεxy língerie never hurt no one ;)

What do you beauties do to keep your love alive?
