The Infamous Battered Rihanna Photo!!

This looks worse than I thought it would be. This dude really went off on Rihanna. It's not looking good for Chris at all:

The police are holding an investigation on who leaked the photo:

Following an entertainment website’s publishing last night of a closeup photograph of what appears to be Rihanna’s badly beaten face, the Los Angeles Police Department has launched an internal investigation into the source of the leak. “The photograph has the appearance of one taken during an official Domestic Violence investigation. The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence,” the LAPD said via a statement released on Thursday.”The Department launched an immediate internal investigation and subsequently filed a personnel complaint. A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.”

The LAPD has not officially identified Rihanna as the alleged victim in the Chris Brown domestic violence case, but it said in its statement that last night it received “numerous inquiries about the release of a photograph associated with a domestic violence incident that occurred on February 8, 2009, involving entertainer Chris Brown.”

The police statement encourages anyone with information about the source of the photo to call or visit the department’s website.

Amber & Kanye Officially Together

It seems Kanye is really falling for the bald headed vixen:

Kanye West has a new lady love: model Amber Rose.

The two stepped out as a couple this Fashion Week, cuddling at Nur Khan’s Rose Bar on Tuesday night and attending Narciso Rodriguez and Alexandre Herchcovitch’s fashion shows together.

Although Kanye’s newest squeeze has done some nudie modeling (most recently in Smooth mag), the singer doesn’t just dig her for her bangin’ bod.

“She’s going to be good for him,” an insider confides. “Amber is a model with a fly, out-there, in-your-face style and attitude, just like Kanye. She’s his match.”

The source adds, “Traveling with Kanye can be rough — press swarms him wherever he goes — but Amber is cool and collected about it all. She doesn’t care about industry stuff, and she actually understands Kanye.”

Coco - Super Crazy Sexy

Coco, what can be said about Coco that hasn’t already been said, right or wrong. She has got a million fans and an equal number of haters. The girl is a lighting rod. I’d skipped her but then Blackmen #89 hit my box, and you just can’t deny those curves. The honey knows how to work a camera. She’s got the top PAWG spot and it’s going take some serious talent and looks to beat that game.

My girl clued me in that Coco has filled the spiritual hole that Anna Nicole Smith left. Dlisted can’t get enough of her. Michael K better hope Ice-T got a good sense of humor.

Coco on her fans…

It’s hilarious. Its is 50/50, 50% male, and 50% female, I thought it was more men. Women are curious, they want to know my work out regime and they want to know where I get my shots or outfits. I cater more to women lately. I have more black males and then Hispanics. It’s about 10% white, believe it or not. I wish I had more support from my own race. White guys like the skinny girl and that’s not me.

For all things Coco check out CocosWorld or give her a shout at her MySpace.

Flashback Friday: LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out (1991)

This was a '91 hit. LL Cool J made this record to win the streets back after releasing "I need Love" and I think he was successful.

India.Arie Debuts @ No. 3

Noticing the lack of promotion, it did fairly well:

In at no. 3 is a brand new album from singer India Arie. The new release, titled Testimony: Vol. 2 — Love

Beyonce’s I Am … Sasha Fierce calls to no. 12 with just over 50,000 units scanned this week, putting her over the 1.8 million mark.

Lonely Island’s new album, Incredibad, debuted right behind B at no. 13, selling nearly 50,000 to start, while Jamie Foxx’s Intuition moves another 40,000 to put him at no. 14.

And rounding out the top 20 is T.I.’s Paper Trail, selling just over 30,000 to put him at no. 18, and almost to the 1.7 million sales mark.

Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III was at no. 29 this week, selling another 27,000 copies, putting the album at triple platinum status.

There was one more new release this week on the charts. It was Ryan Leslie’s self-titled album, opening at no. 35 with nearly 24,000 copies sold.

According to Billboard.com, sales are up 16.8% compared to last week, but are off by 12.6% compared to the same week in 2008.

Pimpin' Curly - Episode 3 - The Fast Lane

That fight at the end is hilarious!

Tameka Foster Spotted Looking Healthy Leaving The Airport

Luckily she made it through that treacherous ordeal:

After Wednesday’s announcement that Tameka Raymond left a Brazil hospital on Monday, photos of her departure were released on Thursday.

Raymond, wife of Usher, was seen at the Airport of Guarulhos, reportedly heading back home to the United States.

She had spent 11 days recovering from a cardiac arrest suffered immediately prior to undergoing plastic surgery.

“She left the hospital on Monday night,” Mirtes Bogea, a spokeswoman for the Sirio-Libanes Hospital, told PEOPLE. “We do not have any more information about her condition.”

Ellen Dastry, a spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Sterman, who was to perform the “simple liposuction,” said last week that Raymond, 38, suffered a cardiac arrest while being anesthetized for the procedure at Sao Paulo’s Sao Rafael Hospital.

Less than a minute later, Raymond was revived with heart massage and placed in an induced coma before being moved to the intensive-care
