Rihanna lost her grandmother Dolly in July, but she will always be close to her heart. During her trip to London, the “We Found Love” hitmaker paid tribute to her by getting a tattoo of Isis on her rib cage.

“Goddess Isis- Complete Woman – Model for future generations- #GRANGRANDOLLY – always in and on my heart #1lo,” tweeted RiRi, who had a close relationship with her grandmother, whom she affectionately called “Gran Gran Dolly.”

Isis is the Egyptian goddess known as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patron of nature and magic.

President Obama Addresses Nicki Minaj Mitt Romney Rap

Posted on by

Nicki Minaj sparked debate with her politically-minded verse on the remix to “Mercy.” Now President Obama himself is speaking out about the Young Money rapper’s bars backing Mitt Romney.

 “I’m a Republican, voting for Mitt Romney/ You lazy bitches is fu**in’ up the economy,” rhymes Nicki on the cut off Lil Wayne’s Dedication 4 mixtape.

While some interpreted it as an endorsement of the Republican candidate, Obama viewed it as her playing a character. “I’m not sure that’s actually what happened,” he said during an interview with Power 95.3’s “Obie and Lil Shawn Morning Show.” “I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that, but she likes to play different characters, so I don’t know what’s going on there.”

Nicki thanked the President for getting her. “Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do… *sends love & support* @BarackObama,” she tweeted.

She was also flattered that he would take the time to react to the rap. “Awesome! Now I can tell my grandchildren that the 1st black President of the United States took the time to address a Nicki Minaj question.”

While his daughters Sasha and Malia don’t listen to Nicki’s music, the First Couple does have hip-hop on their playlists. “We have a nice hip-hop collection on our iPods,” said Obama.

CPS Files: Social Worker Claims Reporting Mariah Carey Cost Her Job

Posted on by

Days after Mariah Carey gave birth she was reported to the Department of Child and Family Services for drinking beer and taking pain medication while
breastfeeding her twins.

The social worker who reported Mariah was fired shortly after and now she’s suing for wrongful termination.  Mela Ferrer claims she was pressured to cover up the incident to protect Mariah’s image and when she refused she was fired.  In a lawsuit that does not mention Mariah Carey by name, Mela, who was working at the Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center on a temporary assignment when Mariah gave birth, claims she was fired because the hospital was worried that the negative press would deter other celebrities from using their facility.

Mela says she was told the official cause of her termination was failure to follow protocol by consulting with the social work supervisor before filing her report, but Mela insists no such protocol was in place at the time. Mela is seeking punitive damages for wrongful termination, violation of several state laws, breach of confidentiality and/or privacy, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and age discrimination.
