Tyler Perry Defends Bobbi Kristina; Rihanna Obsessed With Cheryl Cole

UPDATE-Bobbi KristinaTyler Perry is clearing up rumors around Bobbi Kristina while Rihanna released the official photos from her Esquire photo shoot and talks struggles to maintain her weight.

The multi-talented Hollywood exec jumped to the defense of Bobbi Kristina after it news surfaced she walked off his show ‘For Better or Worse’. According to initial reports Bobbi Kristina’s understandable struggles dealing with her mother’s death caused her to quit Perry’s show – but Perry says no way. Read the statement released on his Facebook page,

I woke up this morning to my publicist calling me saying that there were reports that Bobbi Kristina walked off the set of “For Better Or Worse”. NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finished taping the season.

After Whitney’s funeral, Krissi and I spent a long time talking about her goals and dreams. She said she wanted to act. That’s when I decided to write her into “For Better Or Worse”. I thought that there would be no better way for me to help her move through the grieving than by giving her something to focus on. The one thing that I learned after my mother’s death is that you have to keep busy and you have to be around people who you can trust, so that when you do grieve you can do it in the safety and privacy of people that care.

Were there tough days for her? Yes of course. Not because of the acting or any job-related issues but because of the fact that she had just lost her mother. And being someone who knows about losing their mother, I know grief comes in different ways and you never know when it’s going to hit you or how it’s going to hit you, for that matter. Some days you’re smiling and happy and some days you’re so broken that you can’t stop crying. So yes she was grieving, but grief aside, she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time.

So please… PLEASE LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE!!!! AND SHE IS A BABY!!! Please stop the lies and give this child some room to breathe and grieve.

IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD WOULDN’T YOU WANT THAT?

-Tyler

Sadly, Bobbi Kristina has found herself in the unforgiving world of celebrity.

In other news Rihanna is crying about losing too much weight. The 24-year old pop star revealed her father once told her she was getting fat. In an effort to either please her father or her inability to manage the strain of super stardom, Rihanna began dropping some pounds. It turned out she’s losing too much. In a recent interview with Hollywood Life, she states,

“I went way too far. I prefer myself a bit chunkier. I want my old butt back.”

Nothing a few lunges and squats can’t fix and a few sexy shots from her Esquire photo shoot to remind her that she’s gorgeous. See more photos below. In a brief snippet of her interview Rihanna expressed her lust for former UK X Factor judge Cheryl Cole,

‘Ooh! Cheryl Cole is…hot. I would just like to watch her work. Preferably cleaning things on the floor. Picking up stuff on the floor. Bending over.’

‘She’s hot!’ Rihanna concluded. ‘I mean, literally…she’s so beautiful.’

 

Wonder if Rihanna knows we can see her butt-crack

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
