Beaverhausen Blabs: Rihanna and DiCaprio's Love Child

Rumors are rife that Rihanna is carrying Leonardo DiCaprio's love child. I was trying to imagine the child's forehead considering its biological parentage. Somehow, the image of James Arness in The Thing (at left) sprung immediately to mind. And that's if it's a girl!

In March, TMZ reported the celebrity pair were "all over each other" at Rihanna's birthday party. But it was earlier this month that the French Oops! magazine got catty, purring that the singer was having the movie star's baby. Great Gatsby!

Now, DiCaprio had turned litigious, suing Oops! Oops!
Gossip Cop reports that Oops owner, Frederic Truskolaski, received the lawsuit on Thursday, [and] says he’s completely shocked that DiCaprio has sued Oops. He tells Gossip Cop, “Why is he doing this?” The magazine’s part-owner thinks it may be “the first time an American superstar has sued a French magazine.”

According to the court papers, in addition to the erroneous claim that DiCaprio is having a baby with Rihanna, the magazine is being sued under France’s strict right to privacy laws. The lawsuit points out that Oops does not have the right to print information about DiCaprio’s personal life nor was it allowed to publish two paparazzi photos of him on the street. DiCaprio’s side is also asking Oops to print a retraction on an upcoming cover, and if it doesn’t, his legal team has asked the court to impose a 10,000 Euro fine (approximately $11,100).

DiCaprio’s legal team and Oops are set to face off in a Paris court on June 16. Truskolaski is fairly certain that because of France’s stringent privacy laws, a ruling will come down forcing Oops to pay the damages and legal fees. “Usually you lose,” he tells Gossip Cop, but he doesn’t think the magazine will have to pay the full 18,000 Euros that are being sought. “It won’t be much,” says Truskolaski.

Gossip Cop has reached out to both DiCaprio’s rep and his French attorney, but has yet to hear back.

Rihanna: Is She Nuts?

"BEAT THIS!" was the New York Post's crude, blaring headline of the day, regarding Rihanna and her defense of Chris Brown in an L.A. courthouse.

"Is she nuts?" the Post postulated on their cover story. "Pop princess Rihanna proved yesterday that she just can’t stop crushing on the man who crushed her face — showing up in court... to support Chris Brown at a hearing linked to his infamous attack on her."

The tabloid reminded us that, in 2009, Brown beat Rihanna's face "like a drum." Arrumpa-tump-tum!

"Though prosecutors seem bent on finally making Brown pay for his domestic violence, his pretty pop-star punching bag couldn’t care less if he sees justice for smacking her around," the Post stated.

What is wrong with this diva? She even blew a kiss to Chris as they entered the L.A. courthouse! Kind of reminds me of this old tv cartoon series they don't air any more (wonder why):


"She thinks it’s utterly ridiculous what they’re doing to him,” Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, said yesterday, according to the New York Post.

Ok, girrrrl, you are a hot mess, not to mention a terrible role model for your young female fans. Seek help, for God's sake, because, like Krazy Kat, you are a sucker and an emblem of support for physical abuse againt women. Get a clue! Three years later, the drama continues. It's tired and you should really move on!

Oh, but then, of course, there is this:

Buddy B Eyes the Billboard Dance/Club Chart

Can it truly be the very end of May already? I am eyeing the Billboard Dance/Club chart ending June 9 and feel like I'm being swept through time like a blossom on a summer breeze.

And, more like a heat-seeking missile through the hot summer's air of Cape Canaveral, Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" hits #1 on this week's Billboard, where it seemed bound by its swift trajectory up the Dance/Club chart over the past 16 weeks. Jennifer Lopez further tumbles from that perch, to #5, but still making us want to "Dance Again." At sixth place, Toni Braxton's "I Heart You" catapults from 12th, all in only six weeks. Good show, Toni, you're back!

Last week's #1 dance tune was "Brokenhearted" by Karmin, which now finds itself at 11, a rather precipitous fall. Ralphi Rosario's new version of Patrick Cowley's "Menergy," featuring the vocals of Shawn Christopher, is lifted to the 15th spot from #17 last week. I guarantee you'll be hearing this at Gay Pride festivities everywhere in the upcoming months, and it is included on my brand-new "PRIDE: NYC Anthems 2012" promo cd. Competition to win a free copy to come soon, details on this blog. (NYC's original Pride march and celebration are on Sunday, July 24, incidentally.)

And, in its second week on the chart, another track on my promo-only Pride cd makes it into the top 25. Katharine McPhee's "Touch Me," from the NBC-tv series Smash (Buddy B's favorite new series), is already a smash by leaping from 36th place (now #24) after being on the the chart a mere two weeks. (Remix also featured on my Pride promo.) (Note: my cds are for promotional use only & not for sale. Winners of my competition receive cds and postage free of charge.)

Rihanna v. Joan Crawford on My Halloween Countdown

What could possibly be scarier than Joan Crawford running amok with an axe? And note that her hairdo in this video seems to have inspired Billy Ray Cirus' 1980s mullet! The visuals are scenes from the 1964 William Castle film, Straitjacket. The vocals by Rihanna. Sleep tight. (Tonight's video dedicated to Countdown followers Tracey & Merv.) ps: spoiler alert for film.
