Rihanna Is Digging Cheryl Cole?

Rihanna likes to make provocative statements regarding her sexuality--openly flirting with fellow superstars like Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry.

The latest girl-crush for Rih-Rih is British pop star and "X-Factor" judge Cheryl Cole.

“Ooh! Cheryl Cole is hot,” Rihanna told Esquire UK. ”I would just like to watch her work."

"Preferably cleaning things on the floor. Picking up stuff on the floor. Bending over,” Rihanna added.

She always knows how to keep us talking, doesn't she?

Rihanna Partied Hard At Coachella

Rihanna may not have been a scheduled performer at this year's Coachella Festival, but the leggy beauty certainly got her share of attention. While everyone was buzzing about holograms, the pop superstar reportedly got herself a nice buzz while partying with gal pal Katy Perry.

The singer was photographed smoking a little somethin-somethin, and partying hard with fans. She hung out with Calvin Harris and reportedly checked out A$AP Rocky, as well.

"This turned out to be one of the best nights of my life," she tweeted. "@CalvinHarris I had so much fun with your fucking fanz tonight! Diz hoodrat $kabii @katyperry also crowd surft n ATE my A$$ during my show."

Travis McCoy Doesn't Miss Katy Perry

Alt-rapper Travie McCoy isn't that concerned with the fact that his ex-girlfriend, pop star Katy Perry, is back on the market following her divorce from actor Russell Brand. The Gym Class Heroes frontman dismissed any idea that the two would be getting back together and made it clear he's in a different place in his life.

"Katy Perry was almost five years ago. Life has moved on to say the least," McCoy says. "I've not been in touch to be honest with you and I don't mean that in a malicious way. That situation was what it was and I have definitely moved on. When was the last time you spoke to your ex of five years?"

"It wasn't really nasty between Katy and I but I just choose to, kind of, you know, keep it moving, so to speak," he added.

Katy Perry On Beyonce & Shakira 'Diss:'

Katy Perry blasted 'the media' yesterday (March 20th) from her Twitter account for reports that she had an issue with fellow pop stars Beyonce and Shakira. The controversy began with an interview Perry gave with BBC 1 where she was asked about working with Rihanna.

"I was telling her, you know that Eurythmics song with Aretha Franklin, Annie Lennox, 'Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves'?" Katy said. "That's like the kind of song that I'd want to do instead of, like, 'Hips Don't Lie,' which was still a great song by Shakira and Beyonce. I mean, not 'Hips Don't Lie,' what's that duet? 'Beautiful Liar.' "

"I loved it, but I definitely want to do something that is just kind of like, so iconic," she added.

Some blogs took that as a diss aimed at Bey and Shakira, and Perry gave an interesting response.

"F*ck all y'all (press) dat thinks I dissed anyone, puhlez, u havin a slow news day or what?! Get a life, cuz it's not mine! #hoodratcominout," she tweeted. "If ya ears are filled with wax it's time to get a cleanse boo. Anywayz... (steps off of box)"

Katy Perry Covers "N***as In Paris"

Pop star Katy Perry surprised the audience during a performance on BBC Radio 1's live lounge in England when, instead of performing one of her own hits, she donned a Yankee cap and offered up a cover of Jay-Z and Kanye West's hit "N***as In Paris."

It was slightly edited, of course.

Backed with a live band, Perry performed the cut much to the fans and hosts' delight, in a singsongy style--which she was quick to point out was 'not' rapping.

Russell Brand's Phone Controversy

Just weeks after Chris Brown was blasted for snatching a fan's phone in Miami, actor/comedian Russell Brand appears to be launching his best Breezy impression. The former Mr. Katy Perry is wanted by police in New Orleans over the incident, which took place when a photographer reportedly tried to take Brand's pic on his iPhone.

“The officers are trying to get in touch with Mr. Brand,” Sergeant Frank Robertson, a spokesperson for the New Orleans Police Department told RadarOnline. “The case is still being investigated, and no charges have been filed on Mr. Brand as of yet.”

“The ink is not even fresh on it, this case is not even 8 hours old yet,” Sergeant Robertson went on to tell Radar. “It is just so new and there are variable circumstance. Our office don’t even have the report yet but it is an ongoing investigation.”

Diddy & Russell Are After Katy Perry?

Rumors are swirling (no pun intended) regarding pop superstar Katy Perry and a possible hook up with hip hop mogul Diddy. Yes, Diddy is 'allegedly' dating Cameron Diaz, but wandering eyes spotted the two A-listers getting a little close-for-comfort at a Vanity Fair party this week.

But wait--there's more...

According to Bossip, KP has also caught the eye of another, older hip hop impresario. That's right, Russell Simmons has apparently cast his eye towards Ms. Perry as well. He supposedly asked her for her phone number at pre-Oscar party last week.

All it takes is a divorce from Russell Brand to make this chick the most sought-after woman in music? Who knew...

Red Cafe's Favorite Ladies

Brooklyn rapper Red Cafe revealed who some of his favorite females in entertainment are currently. While discussing who his famous celebrity crush is, Cafe also shared what artists of the fairer sex he'd like to get into the studio with.

"I listen to Sade. I'm a big Prince fan. Their melodies triggers things that make me feel like maybe I can do something like that," he revealed. "[If I could collab with any pop artist?] I like Katy Perry. I think we'd make a hot record. [Celebrity crushes?] Zoe Saldana is hot. I like clever, not slick women. I'm very easily turned off."

"I think me and Lauryn Hill could make a great, classic record," he added. "I'm a fan of great artists and music, so for you to stay relevant and I've been around for a long time so for me to still be relevant, you have to be a fan. I listen to everything and then I take things that I need to take from it to inspire me, which I think is necessary."

Kanye's Music Banned In China

Rapper Kanye West's music has been officially banned from the Internet in China, according to the country's Ministry of Culture department. "E.T.," West's hit single with Katy Perry, has even been barred from personal websites, along with 100 other tracks deemed to be a threat to Chinese culture.

Lady Gaga, The Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry, Beyoncé Knowles, Britney Spears and others were among those banned.

“Certain websites have been allowing users to play, listen to and download the listed songs,” the ministry said in a statement. “Such actions have disturbed the online music market order and endangered national cultural safety.”

Music regulating online began in China two years ago and this is the third time they've banned what the Ministry of Culture deems "tasteless and vulgar."

Nicki, Lady Gaga, Beyonce Wow At VMAs

The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards once again proved that this is an awards show where the awards almost-always take a backseat to shock value and surprises. On a night when pop superstar Katy Perry took home the award for Video of the Year, and Young Money sex symbol Nicki Minaj netted the Best Rap Video Award, the night will best be remembered for weird outfits and one surprising announcement.

Minaj showed up wearing one of the most elaborate outfits in recent awards show history, but even she was trumped by Lady Gaga--who spent the entire night dressed in drag, oddly-resembling Ralph Macchio's character Pony Boy from the movie The Outsiders. In another strange turn of events, Britney Spears was presented with the Vanguard Award at the ripe old age of 29. R&B star Chris Brown gave an eye-popping performance of his hit "Beautiful People," while Adele's performance of "Someone Like You" with a simple piano accompaniment was the night's classiest performance.

Fans were also treated to Tyler, the Creator's mother jubilant reaction to her son winning Best New Artist.

But much of the night's thunder was stolen by megastar Beyonce--and not just because of her stellar performance of "Love On Top."

Bey revealed that she and hubby Jay-Z are expecting their first child together, much to the surprise and delight of fans.

There were several awkward moments; including Will Ferrell, Jack Black and Seth Rogen in an unfunny Beastie Boys sketch and Katy Perry's playful-but-somewhat awkward dig at Kanye West. "Now this is a time where you want to interrupt me, Kanye," she said, referencing West's infamous bum-rushing of Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs.

Katy Perry is One #1 Away from Tying Michael Jackson's "Bad" Record

Fresh off the second anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, Katy Perry is on the heels of one of his biggest records. The pop star is closing in on five #1 singles from the same album, a feat that hasn't been achieved sinceBad. Her current hit "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" sits at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, moving up 27 slots since last week. We bet it reaches the top in the coming weeks.

Gwen Stefani On Rihanna & Katy Perry

Gwen Stefani became a style icon in the mid 1990s through the 2000s with her punky-but-sexy image and girl-power persona. Now at 40, Stefani's influence is being reflected in younger artists, but how much so? The No Doubt frontwoman recently revealed to Elle magazine that she doesn't see much of her influence on today's young starlets--she was too much of a tomboy.

"I don’t see myself in those girls," she says of comparisons to the Rihannas and Katy Perrys of the world. "I usually put pants on. I see these girls as more going for the sex-symbol thing. I was more, in the band, like a tomboy. Of course, I think every girl is sexy, so there’s going to be a little of that. But I see a lot of younger artists going more toward the sexy thing."
