Edited by Zosia Baroody

With summer festivities fast approaching, we’ve decided to walk, nay, sashay down memory lane and take a look at the internet dance blasts from the past.  Remember wheelchair stuntin’ in the Cat Daddy? Bouncing around screaming Chicken Noodle Soup? Or what about the Soulja Boy? Simple choreography that makes us looks like utter fools, especially after a few drinks.  Missed out on developing your dirty dance moves?  Here’s your chance to guiltlessly watch and learn how to get your inner hip hop on (thanks to Mahalo.com). Enjoy!

- TIME Magazine decided to place a mom breastfeeding her three-year-old son on its cover to illustrate its story on “attachment parenting.” Meanwhile, showing Kris Jenner and her Kardashian klan would’ve had the same (nauseating) effect. [Huff Po]

- The Olympics really takes the lighting of the Olympic torch super serial. So serial in fact, there were men wearing pleated skirts. [Styleite]

- This is Tom Cruise — and his Photoshopped abs — posing with models Abbey Lee Kershaw and Edita Vilkeviciute on the June cover of W Magazine. Aside from making everyone uncomfortable, Suri‘s dad is promoting his new film, Rock of Ages. [Fashion Gone Rogue]

- Gwyneth Paltrow‘s injecting bee venom into her skin these days. The kids call it “stinging” and there’s already a 20/20 exclusive in the works about it. [Refinery29]

- George Clooney brought his charm and good looks to a protest outside the Sudanese embassy and was subsequently arrested after “disorderly crossing” a police line. Finally! A “disorderly” celebrity arrest without “drunk and” before it. [E!]

- To complement your Downton Abbey paper dolls, how’s about some Downton Abbey trading cards? I’ll trade you three Ediths for two Dowager Countesses and a Thomas. Okay, four Ediths. Five? [Vanity Fair]

- Reunited! And it feels so…horribly inappropriate. Proving that true love conquers all or that their stupidity knows no bounds, Chris Brown and Rihanna are apparently back together. At least in song…or rather, songs...

Rihanna and Chris Brown Collaborate on Her Next Song

Edited by Samantha Lim

Oh come on.  Rihanna‘s upcoming song “Birthday Cake Remix” will be featuring ex-boyfriend, the domestically violent Chris Brown.  Expected to be released next week, song producers Kosine & Tuo told VIBE “the feature on there is gonna shock the world”.  No sh*t. Although the pair has been spotted publicly together since the horrifying abuse incident, they noticeably ignored one another at last week’s Grammy awards.  In case you forgot how nasty the results of Brown’s punching Rihanna in the face we brought the picture back for ya.  What do you guys think of the pair collaborating again?

Jay-Z & Beyonce’s Baby Arrived!

Edited by Samantha Lim

Beyonce checked into Lenox Hill Hospital on NYC’s upper east side late Friday night (they supposedly rented the entire hospital floor for $1.3 Million!) and at 2AM this Sunday morning January 8, she has officially given birth to her and Jay-Z‘s daughter Blue Ivy Carter.  Checked into the hospital under the name Ingrid Jackson, the couple went through large measures to ensure that the labor was a private affair.  They covered up security cameras with tape, took away employees cell phones when entering the floor, and had security guards checking the perimeter.  The color blue is Jay-Z’s favorite and the roman numeral supposedly has a special meaning to Beyonce, hence the name Ivy.  The hip-hop royal has already gotten twitter love from Auntie Rihanna, Uncle Russel Simmons, and one social media savvy vixen who has already jumped the gun on taking over the Blue Ivy Carter  twitter handle, feeding us funny quips and clever RT’s.  Judging by the time at which we are posting this and the list of twitter topics at the moment (Aunty Gaga, Uncle Kanye, Godmother Nicki to name a few) we are sure to see a LOT of the new baby Blue Ivy. Congrats!

Music Video Premiere: Rihanna – We Found Love

Edited by McArthur Joseph

Apparently all the divas (mind you we use that ver termy loosely when we speak of this artist) are releasing their videos this week. First Beyonce, and now Rihanna just dropped her vid for We Found Love. As much as we judge her here we can’t help love dancing to her intoxicating pop hits. If you love domestic violence, drug use, sex, and just being reckless (all our our fave things) then you’ll love this video.
