ONCE again, celebrities were up to what they do best – making headlines. Here are some of the things that they made news for this past week.
It’s official… Well, kinda
Okay, Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, at least as friends, and they have no qualms in sharing photos of them together online.
Rihanna posted a picture on her Instagram account showing her hugging ex-boyfriend Brown with the caption “I don’t wanna leave! Killed it tonight baby!”
Although their faces are hidden in the photograph, it can’t be denied that the infamous duo are the ones in front of the camera.
RiRi has been hinting about a possible reunion with Brown for a while, and late last month, she even shared an Instagram photo of a shirtless Brown in bed.
Sharm says: Well, everyone knows the history behind these two. They’re adults. We just have to let them handle their stupidity themselves.
Going strong
For those who fell into a depression after hearing that Justin Bieber broke up with Selena Gomez a few weeks ago, snap out of it.
Recent photographs show that the couple is back on, and their relationship might just be stronger than ever.
The couple visited their favourite spot, the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills, and were seen cruising around town in Bieber’s white Ferrari.
The 18-year-old Girlfriend singer recently opened up to talk show host and business mogul Oprah Winfrey about the relationship, claiming, “I’m all about genuine people, and I feel like she’s just one of the most genuine people.”
Sharm says: What?! You mean we are still subjected to pictures and stories about these two?
Health scare
Frankie Muniz had a stroke. What? But he’s only 26!
The Malcolm In The Middle star tweeted that he suffered a health scare that forced him to seek medical treatment. He said: “I was in the hospital last Friday. I suffered a ‘mini stroke’ which was not fun at all.”
The actor was taken to an emergency room after his friends noticed that Muniz had trouble speaking and understanding words. He also tweeted: “Have to start taking care of my body! Getting old!”
Sharm says: It good that his friends thought of taking him to the hospital instead of standing around, laughing and taking videos of his antics to be posted up on YouTube later.
Ready for her next breakup hit?
Uh, oh. Taylor Swift might be in a relationship … with One Direction’s Harry Styles. You know that it could only mean two things – Swift getting death threats from crazy Directioners and an imminent break-up song on her part.
The couple already has a nickname, Haylor – OMG, doesn’t it sound like something you’d name a hurricane after? – and have been seen together around New York City. They are preparing to perform at the Z-100 Jingle Ball today at Madison Square Garden and were even photographed holding hands.
Sharm says: Okay, I’ll give this relationship three months. Too long, you say?
Bye, bye Hollywood
Angelina Jolie had an interview with Channel 4 News to talk about her life as an actress and mother and her humanitarian efforts.
During the interview, she let slip that she might just quit acting in the next few years to take care of her family.
“I think I’m going to have to give up the acting as the kids hit the teenage years, anyway, too much to manage at home. I have enjoyed being an actress.”
Angelina added, “I am so grateful to the job and I have had great experiences and I have even be able to tell stories and be a part of stories that mattered and I have done things for fun, but … I will do some films and I am so fortunate to have the job, it’s a really lucky profession to be a part of and I enjoy it. But if it went away tomorrow I would be very happy to be home with the children.”
Sharm says: Nooooooooo! Don’t leave us just yet Angie. *sob*
