Posted: 25 Aug 2012 09:35 AM PDT

Rihanna is spending the weekend back home in L.A. after a busy few weeks.  And she was spotted shopping at Opening Ceremony with her bestie Melissa.  Check out her cute shopping look inside...

The pop chick kept it casual in a flirty mini skirt, small crop top and her Air Yeezy 2 sneakers as she shopped it up Friday afternoon:

Rih's just been announced as a performed for the MTV VMAs.  And she's biding her time by getting into verbal spats with 79-year-old comedic legend Joan Rivers.  The other day, "Fashion Police" host Joan tweeted:

Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it's MY turn to slap her.

And you already know Rih came back with a one-liner.  She tweeted:

Slap on some diapers

And also this (but deleted it): "@Joan_Rivers wow u really do get slow when you're old huh?

Joan tried to express her concern by following up with: "Honey, @Rihanna, everyone knows: If he hit you once, he'll hit you again.  Read the statistics. PS – Love to have you on Fashion Police!"

Good luck with that.

Evelyn Lozada EMERGES On The Beach, Warren Sapp BLAMES Her For The DOMESTIC ABUSE

Posted: 24 Aug 2012 02:54 PM PDT

Former Hurricanes defensive lineman Warren Sapp has voiced his opinion about the Evelyn Lozada/Chad Johnson fight and he's taking Chad's side and blames Ev for the dust up.  Get the deets inside..........

Former footballer and Chad's fellow Miami native Warren Sapp has thrown in his two cents about the Evelen/Chad fight and he's actually insinuating that Evelyn was the aggressor in the fight.  He told the Miami Times in an interview:

When is the last time one of your homeboys called you and told you, "Let me tell you about this fight at the club last night where this guy and his girlfriend were walking by and he turned around and headbutted the girl." Never. He's taking the rap for it. We don't do that. She did it.

That's a woman that is going to depend on her beauty for the rest of her life to open any door she wants to walk through, and she is going to do what to her forehead? I'm done. [Chad] is a bunch of fun and I am sorry this had to happen to him.

 

Hmmm....  Warren has had his own domestic violece run in (charges were dropped back in 2010) and unsportsmanlike conduct situations while he was in the league.

Meanwhile,

Evelyn was spotted yesterday on the beach in Florida near the home where the incident happened. In one of the first pics to pop up since the fight, Ev rocks a hat so you can't see her forehead, that supposedly is still covered in a big laceration from the headbutt

Sigh....I hope Iyanla can help with this situation.

BREAKING: Tameka Raymond LOSES CUSTODY Of Her Two Youngest Sons

Posted: 24 Aug 2012 01:39 PM PDT

Tameka Raymond's world just went from very bad to even worse.  Today in court, Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane in Atlanta has ruled that Tameka will no longer have full custody of her two youngest sons, Usher V & Naviyd.  Her ex-husband, Usher, will become the primary parent.

 

Deets inside...

It's been a long custody battle that pre-dates the sudden death of Tameka's son Kile Glover.  So today in an Atlanta courtroom, the ruling was that Tameka loses the custody war and primary custody of her sons.

During the courtroom battle, according to TMZ, Tameka claimed her ex-husband Usher was an absentee father who was always on the road.  And she often alluded on Twitter to the fact he and his girlfriend/employee Grace Miguel simply wanted ot take the kids away from Tameka.

Usher claimed Tameka was irresponsible and inattentive. 

Seems the judge took Mr. Raymond's side.  The kids will be with him primarily.  And Tameka does maintain some custodial rights that have not yet been detailed. 

Story developing...
