We already knew Rihanna and Chris Brown were recording a duet, but after listening to their new tune, critics and fans can't stop talking about the sexually explicit lyrics!
On the track "Birthday Cake", Brown sings, "Girl I wanna f*** you right now. Been a long time I been missing your body. Lemme, lemme turn the lights down. When I, when I go down it's a private party." Woah! Wasn't this the guy who allegedly bashed her face almost three years to the day?
While the two insist that they're just friends, Chris went to RiRi's 24th birthday party last week and there have also been reports that they recently hooked up. "Rihanna loves to live dangerously," a Rihanna pal tells Us Weekly. "Talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that."

Jennifer Garner loves her green and blue striped sweater so much that she decided to wear it again within a week ... with the same scarf! We thought it looked cute then, and it still looks like the perfect maternity get-up.
Ben Affleck's wifey, who's expecting her third child any day now, left Pressed Juicery in Brentwood with a spring in her step.
Great to see Violet and Seraphina's busy mom getting a bit of alone time once in awhile.

Whitney Houston died at the age of 48 due a lethal combination of Xanax, Valium and alcohol, according to Radar.
A source close to the "I Will Always Love You" singer told the site:
"Whitney had taken Valium, Xanax, and alcohol, which led to her death. The coroner is waiting on final toxicology results to determine which one of the three was the major contributing factor of her demise."
Houston, who was laid to rest in New Jersey over the weekend, was found dead at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
The source adds:
"The coroner will be closely examining Whitney's blood alcohol content at the time she died as well. The sedatives and alcohol will almost certainly be the cause of death, and not drowning. Her heart stopped beating because her respiratory system was suppressed because of the anti-anxiety meds, and combined with the booze it probably happened very quickly before she was found partially submerged in the bathtub."
The official toxicology results will be released within the next two weeks.

She's quite the multitasker!
We're not sure if Kim Kardashian hit the gym this morning, but she was all dolled up when we snapped her shopping in West Hollywood. As usual, Kim was followed by a pack of paps and a reality TV camera crew, and though she hasn't been too chatty about her love life, one thing's for sure: She's NOT dating NBA breakout star Jeremy Lin!
Despite rumors popping up online this week, Lin shot down reports that he's gone out with the curvaceous beauty. "Stuff about me dating Kim Kardashian, I mean, I have no idea where that came from and all these rumors," Lin told Good Morning America. “I don’t think I’m that type.†Wonder who she'll date next?!

Charlie Sheen recently slammed Ashton Kutcher for his work on Two and A Half Men, but now he's backtracking and issuing an apology for his comments. Sheen called TMZ the other day and said, "I'm tired of pretending the show doesn't suck. It's nothing personal. I just feel bad for him. He's saddled with such bad writing." Ouch!
Sheen signed on Twitter this morning and wrote:
Dear Ashton-
My bad.
I was disrespectful to a man doing his best.
I got excited and threw you into a crossfire.
The rest of my statement I stand behind.
You, however, deserve better.
Safety in your travels good sir.
- The "late" Charlie Harper
Though Sheen has slammed the series in the past, just last September he praised his former show, calling the season premiere "really good" and referring to Kutcher as "terrific." Sheen also told The Hollywood Reporter last month that he felt Kutcher was doing "the best job that he can," so hopefully all will be forgiven! But when will Charlie stop talking smack about his old job?
