Tending to her all-important business matters, Rihanna was looking colorful as she arrived for a business meeting in New York City on Thursday (July 30).

The “Umbrella” songstress was dropped off by a chauffeured ride for the day’s duties, strutting past paparazzi while chewing on a red Twizzler along the way.

As previously reported by Gossip Center, recent reports from MTV claim that Rihanna is “in shock” after ex-beau Chris Brown decided to make an online video apology.

A friend of the singer says that Brown’s choice to make a public apology for forgiveness of the assault that took place back in February was selfish and hurtful. “She’s in total shock,” explained the friend. “It was like he gave her another blow, albeit one of a different kind.”

Rihanna had been keeping the situation very private and out of the public. “All she knows it that it’s in the news again and that’s the one thing she didn’t want,” continued the source. “She’s been trying to put it behind her and move on as fast as possible. They spoke earlier last week and Chris made no mention of any public statement then.”

We hear actress Kirsten Dunst wouldn’t mind sinking her teeth into Hollywood’s “It Guy” of the hour after meeting the 23-year-old Pattinson on the Manhattan set of his new movie Remember Me, Star Magazine claims.

“Kirsten is absolutely infatuated with him and thinks he would be the ideal boyfriend,” chuckles a friend of the Spider-Man actress.

Friends say Kirsten believes she and the Twilight star “would have a lot in common.” After all, like Pattz, Kirsten herself rose to fame in a bloodsucking big screen hit, appearing in 1994’s Interview With The Vampire.

“She’s been sending Rob a barrage of flirty texts, letting him know she is very interested in getting to know him better – whenever and wherever he wants.”

Lindsay Lohan’s obsession with blonde screen siren Marilyn Monroe has reached new heights. No longer content with simply mimicking the late beauty in fashion spreads, Lohan is desperate to star in a remake of Marilyn’s motion picture classic Some Like It Hot and has been frantically pitching the idea to film bosses around Hollywood.

A hit at the box office in 1959, Some Like It Hot also starred Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. In 2000, the American Film Institute named Some Like It Hot as the “Greatest American Comedy Film of All Time.”

Director Brett Ratner has already rejected the idea of bringing the musical comedy back to theaters, but Linds isn’t giving up.

“Lindsay is pinning her hopes on getting a remake of Some Like It Hot off the ground,” Lohan snitch blabbed in a report featured in the August 11 issue of OK! Magazine.

“She’s undaunted, but there’s no script and there’s no money. The only thing Lindsay has to sell is herself,” the insider continued, adding that the often troubled star recognizes many similarities between herself and the tragic Monroe, who died of a drug overdose in 1962.

“She sees herself as the second coming of Marilyn Monroe – misunderstood, talented and in desperate need of an incredible film vehicle that will truly showcase her talents.”

The actress has posed for two Monroe-themed photoshoots, one in New York Magazine in 2007 and another in Spanish Vogue just last month, Lindsay even named her 6126 leggings collection in honor of Marilyn.

Spy witnesses tell The Globe’s Loosch Lips Column that the Heroes cutie – known for her environmental and humanitarian efforts – curtly refused to sign an autograph for a male fan who approached her as she exited a flight.

A jet-lagged Hayden was headed home after a press junket in New York City for her new film, I Love You, Beth Cooper.

“Get a life and a real job,” Hayden allegedly snarled at the autograph seeker.

“She was so nasty and insulting to the poor guy for no apparent reason,” says one astounished snitch. “It’s not like she was being hounded by a bunch of people.”

Logging the long hours on-set, Jennifer Aniston put in a full day o of work on "The Bounty" in New York City on Thursday (July 30).

The former "Friends" darling showed up for the day’s shoot in a revealing grey tank top with khaki shorts, quickly changing into her sexy wardrobe before getting down to business.

In related news, Miss Aniston just can’t seem to keep out of the tabloid headlines – as the latest fodder tells that she’s still secretly dating actor Bradley Cooper.

“Jen loves that everyone thinks Bradley gave her the heave-ho and that she’s fooling around with Gerard Butler, her co-star in The Bounty,” an alleged insider told the National Enquirer.

“Jen is thrilled that no one knows about her and Bradley. She’s really sick of feeling like her love life is always under a microscope. Bradley is Jen’s little secret," the source adds.

Brad Pitt must have gotten a hall pass last night, because he partied like a rock star in Berlin! Brad is usually photographed being the quintessential father and husband, but last night he let his wild side out.
Brad is currently in Germany to promote his film Inglorious Basterds, and he and the cast had a day full of interviews and photocells. But afterwards, they all cut loose and partied…all night.
This comes one day after Brad claimed to the Daily Mail that his partying curfew is 6PM. He told them, "I’m a dad now – my partying ends at 6PM.”
But Angelina Jolie must have okayed Brad to stay out late last night, since he and his castmates partied til the wee hours of the morning!
Brad was photographed looking a little droopy-eyed at 2AM, and drinking down plenty of beers. He was later photographed half asleep in the back of his chauffeured car.
We’re happy to see Brad have a little fun! It can’t be easy taking care of six kids all the time, even if you do have an army of nannies at all times.
We just hope Angie has a sense of humor about her hubby partying late night without her.

Hopefully her bodyguards are on top of their game because a man stalking Miley Cyrus has been released from custody due to the overcrowding at a Georgia jail.

53-year-old Mark Mclead was arrested and booked on two misdemeanor charges last month in Tybee Island, Georgia, after standing in a crowd of people watching Miley film her latest movie and making crude comments to young girls in the crowd.

According to reports, Mclead had “been camping at Tybee for three or four days and that he had observed Cyrus on her balcony, that he sent her special presents and that he was going to marry Cyrus and even invited the police officer to the wedding."

The man has also been known to follow Miley – in March, the 53-year-old traveled to NYC for her “Miles to Go” book signing.

Making the long trip overseas, Jennifer Lopez was spotted arriving into Rome, Italy with husband Marc Anthony and their adorable twins on Wednesday (July 29).

Quickly toting Max and Emme to a chauffeured ride upon exiting their private jet, Jen and Marc headed straight to the do a little shopping in Via Condotti upon arrival.

The trip to Italy comes on the heels of Miss Lopez’s birthday weekend, as she celebrated her 40th with multiple parties including a shindig at Edison Ballroom on Saturday night.

Unhappy that some of her party guests were late, Jen reportedly got a bit upset, with an insider telling the Daily News, “Jennifer’s party was very intimate, and there were a noticeable amount of empty seats when the dinner started. Jennifer was really irritated. She was fuming because people were late, and complained about it really loudly to Marc. Jennifer was visibly upset and embarrassed.”

In case you missed the memo, Kanye West – hip-hop’s resident ego-driven looney – has declared himself the “new King of Pop.”

Lordy, this is worse than the time he crowned himself “Martin Louie The King.Jr” and demanded that we all “address him as such.”
With pop icon Michael Jackson dead and buried, there sits a vacant throne awaiting the crowning of a new pop monarch. Kanye believes he’s just the man for the job – and has even gone so far as asking the Jackson family for their blessing in adopting the new title..while they’re still in mourning.

According to RhymesWithSnitch.com, Kanye recently told ScrapeTV:“You know everyone loves and respects Michael but times change. It’s so sad to see Michael gone but it makes a path for a new King of Pop and I’m willing to take that on. There’s nobody who can match me in sales and in respect so it only makes sense for me to take over Michael’s crown and become the new King. First there was Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century its Kanye’s time to rule. I have nothing but respect for Michael but someone needs to pick up where he left off and there’s nobody better than me to do that. I am the new King of Pop.”

Settling into the single life, Kim Kardashian was spotted out for lunch earlier today (July 29) in New York City.

The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star looked lovely in MC Hammer esque pants with a flowy, turquoise top, but one thing missing from Kim’s usual look was her smile.

The brunette beauty chatted on her cell phone, but looked awfully blue as she made her way past the snapping shutterbugs.

Meanwhile, her ex, Reggie Bush, was spotted leaving LA’s eatery, Nobu, all by his lonesome last night (July 28).

Recent reports are saying that Kim hopes their time apart serves as a break, not a break-up. "Kim believes they can work it out," a friend of Kim’s tells Life & Style.
