Rihanna 'choked' by Chris Brown

0

RihannaRihanna has reportedly claimed Chris Brown choked her until she was unconscious during an alleged assault on Sunday (08.02.09).

The 'Umbrella' singer is fully co-operating with police - who booked Chris on suspicion of making criminal threats - and has also alleged he threatened to kill her during the attack.

Rihanna and Chris started arguing after leaving Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party on Saturday (07.02.09), resulting in Chris stopping his silver Lamborghini in a Los Angeles side street.

Gossip website E! reports Rihanna threw Chris' car keys out the window, sending the 19-year-old singer into a rage.

After failing to find the keys, he allegedly returned to the car, put his hands around Rihanna's neck and screamed: "I'm going to kill you."

It is claimed Rihanna lost consciousness and when she came round Chris had fled. Officers who attended the scene were said to be so shocked at her "horrific" injuries - including a split lip, bruised face and bite marks - they drove her straight to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

The singer - who is now in hiding - has cancelled her 21st birthday party, which was due to take place on February 20, and part of her tour.

However, her family have assured her fans she is recovering well.

Her grandmother Clara Brathwaite said: "I don't want people to worry. Rihanna is fine and she is doing well."

Yesterday (10.02.09), the Los Angeles district attorney asked police to look for more evidence in their case against Chris. The investigation needs to be carried out before formal charges are filed against the singer.

District Attorney spokeswoman Jane Robinson confirmed: "Prosecutors asked for further investigation. No further comment at this time."

Chris' former step-father has spoken out about the alleged incident, claiming he "wouldn't be surprised" if the singer had assaulted Rihanna.

Donnelle Hawkins - who Chris has accused of abusing his mother, an allegation Donnelle refutes - said: "I wouldn't be surprised. Chris has to take responsibility for his own actions."

Madonna gets Brazilian hunk Jesus Luz to convert to Kabbalah

0

madonnaJesus comforted Madonna in her hour of need… and now she’s made him rethink his entire faith.

In a miraculous about-turn, Brazilian model Jesus Luz has switched to Madge’s mysterious Kabbalah faith – despite being a strict Catholic.

So smitten with the Material Girl is the 22-year-old hunk, he’s joined an online community for Kabbalah believers.

Jesus – recently seen cavorting semi-naked with Madge in a W magazine spread – has updated his website, informing “friends” about the move.

Says our source: “Jesus’s family are very traditional and quite religious so this news is sure to come as something of a shock.

“But Jesus is totally taken with Madonna and is slightly in awe of her. Quite simply he can’t get enough, and finds her utterly compelling and bewitching.

“The pair have spent a lot of time together in recent weeks and Madonna’s chatted quite freely about her personal beliefs – especially Kabbalah.” Madge has obviously made quite an impression on the boy from Brazil.

“He has taken a real interest in it and started making a few online enquiries into the faith,” our source goes on.

“He has joined an online Kabbalah group and is keen to become an active member. Madonna has also offered to take him to the Kabbalah centre in New York and he is exceedingly keen to take her up on that.”

Since splitting with Guy Ritchie last year, Madge has been linked to baseball star A-Rod and now Jesus who, at 22, is 28 years her junior. Jesus’s newfound spiritual interest will raise a few eyebrows back in his native homeland – Kabbalah is not big in Brazil. But Jesus claims not to worry about that.

In his online profile, Jesus writes: “It is not important what others think about us. The most important thing is to have a clear conscience, even if I am condemned. We can not forget that Jesus was condemned.”


Lisa Snowdon furious over rival Tom Chambers' Strictly Come Dancing victory

0

Lisa SnowdonLisa Snowdon was "fuming" after Strictly Come Dancing rival Tom Chambers made the final, her dad revealed yesterday.

He said the model and TV presenter was furious her rival escaped the axe after a voting bungle during the semi-final a week earlier.

And Nigel Snowdon, 56, also claimed friends and relatives were unable to get through to vote for her during Saturday's final showdown between Lisa, soap actor Tom and former SClub7 singer Rachel Stevens.

He said: "There is something wrong if Lisa gets a perfect score and doesn’t automatically go through like last week.

"It was the mother of all cock ups and Tom dodged the bullet big time.

"To be honest Lisa was fuming because she felt that she and Rachel should have been in the final outright.

"Something went wrong and it needs to be sorted for next year because some of the voting was bordering on farcical

"The whole show was just one big popularity contest."

Holby City star Tom got through to the final - despite having the lowest marks from the judges - because BBC bosses realised they had messed up the voting system.

The show's producers took a last-minute decision to let him compete, and he and partner Camilla Dallerup went on to seize the crown.

Speaking at his home in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, Mr Snowdon said some people had been unable to vote for Lisa.

He said: "I had a couple of texts from friends and family who were panicking because they couldnt get through.

"We were at the studio and they were telling me that they had been trying to vote for Lisa but having no luck.

"I have had no problems getting through in previous weeks but it worries me that others couldn't cast a vote for Lisa on Saturday night.

"It might have been very different if there were lots of people having the same problems."

But he added that Lisa, 36, was not bitter over Tom's victory.

He said: "In the end though Tom deserved it on the night and Lisa is happy and proud that she made it to the final.

"We had a real good knees up with Lisa at the BBC studios in London and I was surprised how cheery the atmosphere was.

"Fourteen weeks has taken it out of her but she has come out of it smiling.

"Im very proud of what she has done. Its been a brilliant show."

Mr Snowdon spoke as controversy over soap actor Tom's victory deepened.

Yesterday Liberal Democrat peer Lord Tyler called for BBC director general Mark Thompson to "come clean" about the voting bungle that saved him from the axe despite having the lowest marks from the judges.

The constitutional affairs spokesman vowed he would use Freedom of Information laws to expose the the full results of the semi-final vote.

He said: "Technology is available at the BBC’s disposal to ensure license-payers know just how many votes each contestant got.

"It is a fiasco."

Detailed Biography of Rachel Stevens:
You may already know about Rachel. You may know how as one seventh - and then one sixth - of the global S Club phenomenon she changed the pop landscape, and how over four years S Club scored 12 Top 10 hits, including four number ones, and released five albums, amounting to over 13m record sales worldwide. So you’ll also know about the countless awards – two Brits among them – and the sell-out arena tours, and the sponsorship deals with everything from Pepsi to BT, and the TV series broadcast in 110 countries, and the fact that some FHM readers didn’t think she was very ugly.

Paradoxically, while we may already know about Rachel, an idol and an icon for millions of fans around the world, nobody really knows her. Well not yet, anyway. That’s all set to change as Rachel Ex-Club becomes Rachel Stevens, a popstar like no other whose passion and talent for music will be welcomed by anyone whose musical memory recalls a time when popstars did a little bit more than sit around in nice clothes. “In S Club I played a role in a band,” Rachel smiles. “Inevitably with so many of us we were each given labels – ‘this one’s the singer’, ‘this one does the dancing’… But now I can go off and be me. And I’m enjoying being me. My horizon’s wide open now.”

Looking out at her new horizon, 25-year-old Rachel sees an exciting future, but she’s not expecting anything on a plate. “I want people to see me as a new artist,” she says, explaining that her “workaholic tendencies” ruled out any sort of holiday when the S Club party wound down in April. In fact, she can’t begin to think what she might have done in the past six months if she hadn’t gone straight back into the studio. Textbook Aries. “You’ve got to focus on what you’re doing,” she says plainly, “and just do it.” If this doesn’t sound like the laissez-faire approach typical of most pop group graduates… Well, Rachel’s hardly your typical pop group graduate, any more than she’s ever been a typical popstar. This willingness to fling herself back into the world of work is the latest step in a tenacious, focused ambition which one decade ago led a fifteen-year-old Rachel to take on 5,000 hopefuls in a J-17 modelling competition. She won; the prize led to a spell at the London School of Fashion, and with her diploma in hand she went into fashion PR. She put together some dodgy demos, as you do, and when a few things led to a few other things, Rachel Stevens found herself in a band called S Club.

Which rather begs the question, how long has Rachel Stevens been yearning for life as a solo artist? “I suppose,” she says with a mischievous grin, “I’ve always wanted it. I’m a very determined person, and you always have to look to the future. In a way I didn’t want S Club to end - none of us did - but in a bigger way we knew that we all wanted to do our own stuff.”

Given that this is the first time in five years when Rachel’s been by herself, this should really be the point where she denounces her high-octane pop past. She should be out on benders, dissing her back catalogue and embarking on an ill-advised rock sound with talk of being ‘real’. At least, this is how received knowledge tells us she should be doing it. But that’s not the way Rachel operates and while it might be easy to turn your back on your past, it takes more dignity and strength of character - qualities hardly in abundance in today’s Top 40 - to embrace your roots. At any rate, Rachel still loves her S Club work. “Songs like ‘Reach’ and ‘S Club Party’ are pop classics,” she beams, “and I’m really proud that I had a part in them. Pop should never be a dirty word, and I don’t agree that you need to grow up in a garage with a guitar making your fingers bleed in order to be considered a musician. Just because you’ve come from a pop background it doesn’t mean you have no right to make music.”

Anyone doubting Rachel’s right to make music will already be questioning their preconceptions in the light of her debut solo single, the shit-hot, Cathy Dennis-penned slice of girl empowerment ‘Sweet Dreams My LA-Ex’. Produced by Murlyn Music hotshot Bloodshy – the buy behind tunes from Ms Dynamite and Christina Milian - ‘Sweet Dreams’ is brassy, bold and distinctive. It’s typical of Rachel’s solo material in that it sounds like nothing else on the nation’s pop playlist. Nor does it really sound much like anything else on her debut album, Funky Dory (released September 29), a collection of modern pop landmarks at once totally diverse and utterly Rachel. “The writers really got my personality and the direction I want to go in,” Rachel says. “The first single is a great example –the first time I heard it I knew it’s what I wanted.”

In the last month or so Rachel’s been sorting out her CD collection. “It made me laugh,” she smiles. “For a start, there are things in there which I haven’t listened to in a year but I refuse to throw away. What kind of person could throw music away? But the variety of what’s in there is what most took me by surprise.” From Justin and Christina to Coldplay and The Strokes, diversity is the key to Rachel Stevens, in the CDs on her shelf and in the music she makes for other people’s shelves. “I love pop and I love mainstream music, but there’s more than one way to skin a cat. This album is the type of music I listen to and am passionate about.”

There’s plenty of passion on ‘Funky Dory’, from the undulating ice-like glide of ‘Silk’ to the sassy funk workout of ‘Glide’, via classic modern pop anthems like ‘Breathe In Breathe Out’ and the smart R&B of ‘Little Secret’. Backroom talents like Anders Bagge (Janet Jackson, Britney) and Mike Peden (Will Young) bring the album to life, with bluechip songwriters ranging from Cathy Dennis to Guy Chambers. Rachel’s even been lending her own hand to the songwriting - a new experience she describes as an absolute thrill. One of the album’s highlights is the title track, mooted as a forthcoming single, which spins a hypnotic pop thumper out of David Bowie’s Hunky Dory album track ‘Andy Warhol’. Among Warhol’s various legacies is a philosophy on which Stevens thrives: pop is about more than popularity. Pop is a state of mind. Pop is art. Pop is an art. A pop song is never just a pop song, any more than a tin of soup is ever just a tin of soup.

“S Club wasn’t about taking itself seriously, it was about filling dancefloors, and that’s exactly what we did,” Rachel summarises. “But now, it’s just about me. It’s scary and it’s daunting, but it’s an absolute thrill. I feel brand new.”

Pop can be a tough place: it’s competitive, harsh, turbulent and cruel. Sometimes it can be downright rubbish. But Rachel Stevens is willing and able to take on the world with style, wit and an album of tunes to die for. And she’s going to win. Pop may sometimes be in the gutter, but Rachel Stevens continues to reach for the stars.
