Rhianna spends Big Bucks in sex shop

2011-10-23T15:57:00.001-04:00

She's no stranger to sex shops. Rihanna has been seen visiting them time and time again...both solo or with a boo. And this weekend was no different as she reportedly dropped some serious dough in just minutes.

Deets inside, and what the "We Found Love" director had to say about her casting decisions....
The Sun reports that Rihanna spent £1,000 (equivalent to about $1580) in about 5 minutes at a sex shop as soon as she touched down in Paris. And what was on her shopping list? French panties, toys, leather handcuffs, scented candles and bath-oils.

An onlooker at the Lovestore, in the Pont Neuf area of the French capital, said: "She knew exactly what she was after and didn't want any assistance picking out items."
"There was no dithering. She was grinning from ear to ear and seemed to be in a hurry to get back to her hotel."

Not mad at that. Gotta love a chick who knows what she wants. But the singer responded to a fan who tweeted her about it saying:
yea right!!!! I barely had 5 mins to eat!!! Food!
She was also spotted leaving her Paris hotel (above) clutching famed photographer Ellen von Unwerth's slightly X-rated photobook, Omahyra & Boyd. It features graphic sexual imagery of nudity, women in bondage gear and lesbian lovemaking, and fun party times with the featured models.

By the way, MTV chatted up director Melina Matsoukas about her decision to cast Breezy's doppelganger, Dudley O'Shaughnessey, as Rihanna's lover in the "We Found Love" video. And she said it had everything to do with meeting Rih's demands of casting someone smoking hot:

"I mean, in the casting she was like, 'You just need to find me some hot a** guy ... so then he had to be somebody she found attractive."
"Even with the actor we cast, we had a casting and there were tons of people that we looked at and I saw him," she said, noting that he had to look like he "was supposed to be some London rough kid and that's what he looks like to me. He's perfect because he doesn't feel like he American and he fit. We just saw pictures and I was like, 'His look is definitely good, but can he act?'"
"I love him! He's so cute! His look is gorgeous and then he was just an amazing actor and he really brought out in her an amazing performance," Matsoukas gushed. "It felt natural. It was like watching a love story on the monitor."

And her explanation for the controversial drug use and hypersexualized shots:

"There's a lot of comparisons to her real life, and that's not at all the intention.
We love, obviously, to do provocative imagery ... we always try to definitely push the limits. I think because, in the end, it's not really at all about domestic violence. It's really just about it being toxic, and they're on this drug trip and that definitely plays a part, but I think it's also about being triumphant over those weaknesses, and she leaves him. It's not trying to glorify that type of relationship. The bad parts of it, that's what you don't want. In the end, her leaving, it represents her getting that out of her life. The drugs and the addiction and the toxic -- that's what brings her downfall and brings a lot of harm."

Check out MTV for their full interview about the vid. "We Found Love" is #1 on the charts and iTunes. And the official video has over 6 million plays on Vevo already. Congrats!

>New Castle, Delaware (The Weekly Vice) - Bridget Wismer, 33, and John Gavaghan, 54, were jailed after Wismer allegedly sold her newborn baby to Gavaghan for 15k, so that she could take her two sons to Disney World.

According to the New Castle Sheriff's Office, an investigation began after Wismer's grandmother reportedly contacted police and stated that Wismer was planning to sell her newborn son to Gavaghan and his live-in boyfriend for $15,000.

Investigators say Wismer gave birth to her son on August 31st, listing Gavaghan on the birth certificate even though he was not the child's biological father.

In late September, police received another tip alleging that Wismer and Gavaghan had completed the transaction and that Gavaghan had taken the 1-month-old child to his home.

Officers gathered enough evidence to arrest both suspects, including surveillance camera footage from a Delaware casino that showed Gavaghan signing handwritten documents and giving a money order to Wismer.

Investigators located the infant at Gavaghan's residence and placed the child into protective custody. The child is now in foster care.

Court documents allege that Wismer had planned to use the proceeds of the sale to take her two boys to Disney World.

Wismer was booked into jail and charged with felony dealing in children. She was released after posting $750 bail for those charges, as well as $1,575 on an outstanding warrant.

Gavaghan was also booked into jail on charges of felony dealing in children. He was released on $7,000 unsecured bail and ordered to have no contact with the baby.

Wismer's family denied the allegations, stating that Wismer's grandmother was confused and that the entire incident was a "big misunderstanding."

He is A HOT MESS!

The pair reportedly exchanged 22,437 text messages and 2,400 phone calls. During the alleged messages, De La Garza and the teen reportedly professed their love and desire for one another, according to an arrest affidavit.

An investigation was launched late last summer after the student's mother found a text message on her daughter's phone that suggested the two had become involved in an inappropriate relationship.

De La Garza was booked into jail and charged with improper relationship with a student and two counts of sexual assault of a child. She was released after posting a $30,000 bond and is expected to appear in court again on November 10.

Authorities in Texas have charged a Dallas woman with forcing her 6-year-old daughter to repeatedly videotape her having group sex.

A 24-year-old mother made her daughter videotape her having self-described 'gang bangs' on three different occasions.

The woman's live-in boyfriend found out about the operation, which took place in the apartment the couple shared but when he was out of the house, from the girl herself.

In the dark: The woman's live-in boyfriend didn't know that his girlfriend was having group sex and making her daughter film it, but when he was told he gave police the tip and the woman was arrested Saturday

'They took it too far,' the boyfriend said. The mother and the boyfriend's names are being witheld to prevent identification of the child.

According to reports, the mother held three so-called 'gang bangs' that she had her daughter film. Police are now looking over the tapes, and have yet to say whether the men involved will be charged with any crimes.

The mother was arrested Saturday and is charged with indecency with a child by exposure, a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. She remains in jail on a $50,000 bond.

The mother has since told police her daughter used a cellphone to videotape three separate incidents involving six men, the newspaper reported.

The boyfriend, who said he had been 'with' the mother for two years.

The apartment: The woman said she made her daughter film three different 'gang bangs' that she had with six different men

'I got with her because she said that the baby was mine, she was my daughter,' the boyfriend said.

The girl is now in the care of the state.

On tape: The six year old daughter had to film three different incidents of group sex in her home, though she used a cell phone camera

'I hope her life is better than what it was,' the man said, after finding out that the girl is not his biological daughter.

A public defender listed in court documents as the woman's court-appointed attorney did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

Marissa Gonzales, a spokeswoman for the state's Child Protective Services agency, said the 6-year-old was immediately placed in foster care after her mother's arrest.

'Physically, she's fine,' Gonzales said. 'But in any situation like this, where a child could need therapy, we will certainly work with (the child).'

The agency has launched its own investigation to determine whether the girl was the subject of abuse, she said.

A civil court hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 16 to determine whether there are any family members who are appropriate to provide the child with care, Gonzales said.

Gonzales said CPS investigated the mother shortly after the child was born to determine whether the infant had been neglected. That case was closed with a finding that there was insufficient evidence to determine abuse or neglect, she said.

Hot Shot: Ciara Returns To The Studio!!

2011-10-23T01:28:00.001-04:00

Ciara has seen the buzz surrounding her 5th studio album intensify as of late. Indeed, with it all but confirmed that she’s re-joined forces with LA Reid (the man who launched her career) over at Epic Records, interest in the songstress has reignited following a series of commercial disappointments.

Which is just as well, as the singer today tweeted a shot of her in the studio. Now, because we love to give you the real tea, we can confirm that the session was with hitmaker Soundz - who produced ‘Gimmie Dat’ from her ‘Basic Instinct’ LP. More over, though, we’re just glad to see Ms. Harris back on her grind. And with word that today’s session was an Epic sponsored production “camp” for her project (where a number of writers and producers congregate to draw up tracks for an artist), it seems the wheels are finally a-turning for her comeback. Roll on 2012!

A Bronx mom said she beat her 5-year-old son to death because he broke the television while playing Nintendo Wii, prosecutors said Monday.

Kim Crawford, 21, smacked Jamar Johnson in his back and stomach on June 13 "harder than I've ever hit him," she told cops.

Crawford watched him vomit and complain of agonizing pain for five days as his internal injuries got worse. She never took him to the hospital because she feared getting arrested, she told investigators.

"I was worried they'd see the bruises and I'd get in trouble," she told cops.

Jamar died of an infection to his lacerated pancreas and intestine at Montefiore Medical Center late Friday.

Prosecutors charged Crawford with murder and manslaughter. She was ordered held without bond Monday.

"I can't believe this," Jamar's dad said outside court.

The petite single mom told cops several different stories about how Jamar was injured before finally admitting the truth, prosecutors said.

First, she claimed he simply got sick, went to sleep and never woke up, prosecutors said. She then claimed he fell while playing in the park and injured himself.

After hours of questioning, she finally admitted becoming enraged at Jamar when he told her he broke the television, prosecutors said.

"I hit Jamar twice in the back and twice in the stomach," she told cops.

On Friday night Crawford "held Jamar's hand and it was cold," she told cops. "He wasn't moving."

Crawford's lawyer, Camille Abate, said the mom should not have been charged with murder.

"The facts do not establish at all that this mother tried to kill her child," Abate said. "I have no idea whether hitting someone with their hand causes these kinds of injuries. It's clear that for two days she was worked over by police."

Jamar's heartbroken family called his death "inexcusable."

"Whether or not she did it on purpose doesn't matter, because my beautiful grandson is gone and he's not coming back," said Jamar's grandmother, Betsy Johnson. "It's a tragedy. It's inexcusable."

Crawford has previous arrests for drugs and assault, police sources said, and a long history of domestic incidents with the boy's father.

Police were called for domestic incidents between the pair nine times since 2006, sources said. Crawford had an open warrant for violating probation at the time of her arrest.

In a separate case, a Bronx man was charged Monday with killing his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter, police said. Edgar Algarin, 26, apparently exploded in anger because Enidaliz Ortiz-Encarnacion wouldn't eat, sources said. He told police he punched the girl in the back, sources said.

The city Medical Examiner's office said the girl was choked and beaten in the upper torso.

Algarin, who has no previous arrest record, was charged with murder and manslaughter. The child was in cardiac arrest when an ambulance arrived at the family's Mott Haven apartment early Saturday. She died a short time later at Lincoln Hospital.

Sources said the girl's mother was away on business and that Algarin may have been angry that he was forced to babysit.

The mother who was charged with forcing her four-year-old son to drink beer in a playground and giving her ten-month-old daughter cocaine has pleaded guilty.

Juliette Dunn, 29, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, accepted charges of risk of injury to a child under the Alford Doctrine, where the defendant doesn't agree to the facts but agrees the state has enough evidence to win a conviction.

Her co-accused, 33-year-old Lisa Jefferson, pleaded guilty to the same charges.

Arrested: Juliette Dunn, left, and Lisa Jefferson pleaded guilty to giving beer and cocaine to Dunn's four-year-old son and ten-month-old daughter

Drinker: The four-year-old boy was allegedly ordered to down a 40-ounce bottle of Steel Reserve (file picture)

Dunn was arrested after she was allegedly seen ordering her son to chug a 40-ounce bottle of beer in a public park and officers found a baby bottle that smelt of alcohol next to her daughter.

When questioned by social workers, the four-year-old boy said that he liked Natural Ice beer and Budweiser, but does not like the taste of Dog-Bite beer.

Citing a warrant in the case, Connecticut NBC station WVIT-TV reported that authorities took both children to a hospital to be tested for drugs and alcohol.

The son tested positive for alcohol and the daughter for alcohol and cocaine, WVIT said.

The warrant also stated that Dunn admitted to giving her son a bottle of beer every day, the TV station reported, and that when questioned by a social worker, the child was able to list off brands he liked and ones he didn't.

According to police, officers were waved down by a concerned neighbour in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on June 28 after she saw that a mother was feeding her children beer in the playground.

The officers found Dunn and a friend sitting in the park with the children on the ground next to them.

They spotted an empty 40-ounce bottle of Steel Reserve beer next to the boy and a baby bottle containing a dark liquid that smelled strongly of alcohol next to the girl.

Playground: Witnesses reported seeing the mother forcing her son to drink beer in the park in Bridgeport, Connecticut

Witnesses told police that Dunn had handed the bottle to her son and ordered him to chug it, before calling him an alcoholic when he finished it.

Dunn told officers that Jefferson gave her son a bottle of beer every day, but she did not know how her ten-month-old daughter tested positive for cocaine as she does not breast feed her.

Shartayua Mason, a 26-year-old Pittsburgh woman was jailed Wednesday after police found her children living in trash and feces so deep, officers could barely open the doors.

According to Pittsburgh police, officers were called after inspectors entered Mason's apartment and reportedly could not open a door due to the amount of feces and garbage blocking its path.

Inside, investigators found four children, ages 2, 3, 4, and 8, living in the apartment, which was covered from wall to wall in garbage, soiled clothing, furniture, and decaying food.

Officers also reported a rabbit which had free run of the apartment. Rabbit and mice droppings were found on tables, counter tops, and even inside the refrigerator. The home was also infested with insects and a nauseating odor.

Investigators say Mason stated that she had been going to school during the day and had asked for help in the past, but never received it.

She continued procrastinating until the conditions in the home were extremely unsanitary and deplorable to the point where it was nearly unlivable. A cleaning crew arrived at the apartment on Thursday with buckets and soap. They immediately opened the windows to air out the stench.

Mason was booked into the Allegheny County Jail and charged with child endangerment. The children were removed from the home and are now in the care of the Division of Children, Youth, and Families.
