Sources close to the reality star tell us ... Evelyn feels producers violated her trust by allegedly divulging sensitive information about an illicit relationship she had in the past.

We're told Evelyn believes producers leaked the information to a female cast member in an effort to incite a violent confrontation between the two women on the show.

We're told Evelyn feels completely betrayed and even fired off an email to producers last night ... saying she wants to leave the show for good.

So far, no official comment from Evelyn.

Rihanna Not Interested In Remake of “The Bodyguard”

2011-03-08T11:44:00.000-08:00

"Absolutely not,” Rihanna is quoted telling OK! Magazine. “I want to separate the two. I hate it when singers do singing movies all the time because you can never look at them as anybody else."

"I want to play a character. My whole life is playing Rihanna, (so) being a singer (in a film) won't be a stretch for me. I like challenges and being an actor is playing a role, being able to step into somebody else's shoes, that's the excitement."

Rihanna is set to showcase her acting talents in the upcoming blockbuster Battleship and hopes to follow up her debut with more film roles.

Looks like Rihanna doesn’t want to follow in Whitney Houston’s footsteps for the upcoming remake of The Bodyguard.

Kelly in NYC| you can check out Kelly debuting a brand new song from her upcoming album.

The Tricky Stewart-produced ‘I’m That Chick’

The beat is so urban and makes you want to get on the dance floor whenever you hear it. I cannot wait to get my hands on the CD quality version. Very club worthy Just imagine how it will sound in the stereo on full bass.

Experience this unforgettable scent with the Reb Fleur 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum.

Customer Ratings and Reviews

Smells delightful and lasts for a long time Overall Rating: 5stars

I just got this product today from the mail and quickly tried it. The first spray comes out strong but if you let time pass, it becomes this incredible flowery, feminine scent. I was just amazed that Rihanna's first perfume could smell so good. Another good thing about it is that it lasts for such a long time. I took a shower about two hours after I spray it on my wrist and 5 hours later, the scent is still there. I honestly recommend this to anyone because your money will really be worth it.

Great job Rihanna Rating: 5stars

This perfume smells so good. I wore it to work and the first question from my coworker was "what scent are you wearing, it smells so good. I told her it was Rihanna's new fragrance. She asked if there was a lotion, since she couldn't wear perfume. This fragrance is long lasting and has a soft sumptious smell. I love it and my husband does too.

NEW MUSIC| Britney Spears - Till The World Ends

"Till the World Ends" was written by Kesha, Alexander Kronlund Dr. Luke and Max Martin It's the second single from her upcoming seventh studio album, Femme Fatale.

Musically, the song is a dance-oriented number with a chant-like chorus and breathy vocals, and lyrics that talk about dancing until the end of the world.

The Daily Rap Up calls it “amazing”. The song would "sound solid on the radio and bring crowds to the dance floor.

BFF Ciara Convinced Kim Kardashian to Record New Single

Jam (Turn It Up)

The video for "Jam (Turn It Up)" was filmed in December 2010 by director Hype Williams. The video will also feature a special appearance by Kanye West.The video is set to premiere soon.

· The song itself is beyond awful; it reminds us of ~~American singer~~, Model and dancer “Cassie”. ~~Recording artist~~ “Ciara” needs to be slapped; this is what happens when you surround yourself with people that always say yes!

We think Kim needs a dictionary (if she knows what one is) to find the difference between "shy" and "nervous." We get that she might be nervous about singing in front of other people. But "shy" people don't normally do sex tapes, and pose nude. She doesn't know the difference. Not surprising, really.
