Chris and Rihanna working on a duet; plus a cacophony of celebrities

Well it appears that the rumours are true, the reunion of the century is taking place. I'm not talking about Flash'n'the Pan. It's Chris and Rihanna! According to MTV.com, which is a fairly reliable source, the two were back in the studio and recording a duet together only a day or so after Chris was in court getting charged for beating Rihanna to a pulp. What's more the story has been confirmed by producer Polow Da Don. Da Don says that they were in the studio together earlier this week working on a duet, and that it was shortly after the incident, but refuses to say more.

US Magazine, a less reputable source (they've been predicting Brangelina's bust up ever since the toothsome two some sold the Shiloh pix in an exclusive to rival People), is leaking some details of the song. Apparently it's a sentimental little number about coming back stronger after problems. The song was written for Rihanna, however Chris' inclusion in the number as a duet piece is a post beat up development.

Now before everyone goes giving them a hard time for getting back together in spite of themselves it might be worth remembering that they are very young, 19 & 20. It's kind of obligatory to mess up at that age. Not that I'm excusing anything, it's just that when you or I got shop lifting or driving drunk in our late teens the spotlight wasn't beaming down on us. We probably also got a pass on it basically for being no one in particular. We also didn't have tens of millions of dollars to go out and make trouble with - which was probably a good think. Then to it's also important to remember that everyone loses their heads at times - violence being basic to man - just like some of these well known folk: 



Personally I found the 'da da da da da in the background' a bit more disturbing than the many F bombs dropped in that little explosion. Oh yeah, and then there's that bastion of no spin who goes apoplectic once or twice a week. You know who I mean, that guy who brought prime time news down to the level of pro wrestling (and so helped legitimize blogging as an 'alternative media'):
THAT FUCKING THING SUCKS


Isn't it admirable that both gentleman share such a commitment to professionalism, excellence, and swearing their heads off. Why that's what made America the fucking great country that it damned well used to be, fuck it! Of course you could give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume that they are suffering from undiagnosed Tourette's Syndrome. At least their tirades were aimed at co workers, and not family, like  Alec Bladwin.



I wonder how that week end visit worked out?? I guess it was a bit tense. Then again I blame that thoughtless asshole he married. She knew he was gonna call. Did she keep her daughter pre occupied to set off an explosion??

Then of course their are the beyond the pale fits of public racism:


and those who make being vulgar and obnoxious their whole routine;



and again...



I wonder how that Art Carney situation worked out?? Then there are the one's you least expect, like Chad the weather guy.



"Just havin' fun" - we can feel the love too. Wow, that was almost as bad as James Garner's mythical freak out with Mariette Hartley during the taping of their popular Polaroid commercials! Everyone talks about he weather but no one does anything. I salute Chad's passion and commitment. I wonder if he ever worked again?? Some one we haven't seen since I Heart Huckebee's would be Lily Thomlin, but we heard plenty in this tape leaked from the set:



Even those Brits with the stiff upper lip and legendary reserve can blow a gasket.



Then again Scientology will bring it out in folk. You gotta hand it to the English when it comes to your witty repartee though. Speaking of Scientology lets leave with the mother of all celebrity freak outs, and that would be a desperate Tom Cruise who lost it while trying to convince Oprah Winfrey and America that he is in love with Katie Holmes (man he's taking that act farther than Joaquin Phoenix and the hip hop!). Tom freaked out in the nicest, creepiest way imaginable, and though there was no swearing, the word 'amazing' was used an obscene number of times.



Oh yeah and then there were those Joaquin Phoenix incident, both on Letterman and at that club early this morning. 

Do you think that the plural noun for celebrity is 'a cacophony'? We can safely say that human beings are prone to fits of irrational behaviour (if Star Trek has taught us anything). Actors, having an 'artistic temperament', can be even more unstable than most. So when they go they are volatile. Never fear, there will be some other high profile freak out soon enough, to push Chris and Rihanna to the back of our mind. Keep watching for it @ Meltdownvideo!

A final word of caution, do not play these tapes at once, or they might cause brain damage.
