Yes, apparently Chris Brown still has fans! So many fans, in fact that after he gave listeners a sneak peek at his new track, I Can Transform Ya featuring Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz on his website, mechanicaldummy.com, it became a trending topic on Twitter.
We gotta admit, it's catchy, but when Chris claims "I can transform ya," we suddenly get the image of the "transformed" Rihanna in that police photo in our minds. Probably not what he had intended when he wrote, "I can transform ya, I can transform ya/ Anything you want, I got it, I can get it for you/ You my baby girl, so you know I get it for you."
Still, the song's worth a listen! After some technical issues (I guess mechanical dummy was an apt name for Brown's website) he played the track, which we gotta admit, was hot!

Yesterday Paris Hilton stopped by a talent agency in Beverly Hills, and the heiress continued to keep things colorful with a decidedly springy outfit and a Hello Kitty wallet. Hey, some girly girls never grow up!

Star Mag claims that after a steamy session on the dance floor during the VMA after-party at 1Oak, "It's on!" between Justin Timberlake and Rihanna!
A source tells the mag that after Justin took a Rihanna for a drive on the dance floor, the two continued the ride up in her hotel room. “They tried to keep it a secret, but Jessica found out within days,†says the snitch of JT's gf of three years. “She must be a wreck.â€Â
Yeah, no kidding. But have you seen Jess' arms lately? Would Justin really want to piss her off?
The source goes on to say that Justin and Rihanna's hookup was not a "one night only" kind of fling.
"Rihanna and Justin have been talking and texting on the phone nonstop since the VMAs,†says the spy. “She asked him on the phone, ‘Are you still with Jessica?’ And he hinted that things were cooling off between them.â€Â
But the last time we checked in on the longtime couple, it looked like everything was A-ok! Jessica even announced her plans to follow Justin to Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro in the name of charity!
But the source insists that Justin and Rihanna's relationship is more than just friends...as in friends with benefits! “One time, Justin was joking about strippers. He said she needed to entertain him like that.†Says the source, adding that Rihanna took the bait and gave him an impromptu lap dance!
Justin and Rihanna may have been seen together in New York, but it could just be business rather than pleasure. After all, they don't really seem like each other's type!

Lindsay returned to her first love, MySpace, to talk about how she "loves" being in Paris, but is missing Samantha!
In a blog posted yesterday, she says:
*i'm sorry that i haven't written anyone here on Myspace in a bit, i've been traveling A LOT and pretty much out of the loop in terms of most things, aside from FASHION and the collection i've been designing with Estrella Archs (who is so wonderful!!)
i'm in Paris, i love it here, missing my other half obviously! But, work is work!
gotta run off to work now...
lots of love always and forever
:)

While we were surprised to find that she's finally giving credit to the actual Ungaro designer, Estrella Archs, we're now thoroughly confused as to what's going on in her personal life. Despite a slew of recent fights, she and Sam are apparently still a couple, and not only that, but Lilo may have even made nice with Sam's twin Charlotte! (Yesterday Lilo tweeted to Charlotte, "@cjronson I'm full already. Hope all is well, are you back in NYC? Congrats on your show! Sending love xoxox-r u coming 2 Paris bella?xox")
It's like opposite day in Lindsay's life or something.

Yes, it's about as easy to listen to as a Heidi Montag song, but if you need a laugh and a dose of OMGWTF this morning, definitely click the video above. Amy Winehouse was videotaped during a jam session with musician pal Zalon, and these are the results of her attempt at rapping out a few verses. Perhaps the Grammy winner should stick to singing? She's no Natalie Portman, that's for sure!

So then the marriage must be real, right?
We caught Lamar Odom leaving a training camp sesh yesterday afternoon, and the Lakers star told X17 photogs that married life had him "looking good." Ahh, newlywed bliss!
We later caught the NBA star shopping and lunching with a pal, and then he headed to the SLS hotel to meet up with his brand new bride. Lamar showed off his hefty 5 carat diamond wedding band, which matches Khloe's 2.5 carat Vartan micro-pave platinum wedding band and her 12.5 carat engagement ring. Married life definitely does have him looking good!
When asked about whether or not last weekend's wedding was the real deal, Lamar told reporters, "It's crazy how perception works in America when you're looking at things from the outside. It might be off, it might be on. But anybody that was there will tell you that it was a beautiful event and it was real."
The newlyweds (and Khloe's sisters) also grace this week's issue of OK! Mag, and the glossy had full access to the wedding, at a price of course. While we're sure this is true love for Lamar and Khloe, we can't help but wonder how legit a wedding is when the whole family benefitted from it financially. I mean, it sounds more like a business deal to us!

LA Candy, the fictional book reality star Lauren Conrad wrote about a girl who becomes a reality star, was acquired by the executive producers of Twilight, says Variety, who plan on turning Lauren's New York Times bestseller (yep) into a movie.
So that means, if the film gets made, we'll be watching a scripted movie about a fictional reality star who has cameras follow her around during every aspect of her carefully scripted life.
Sorry, but if I'm watching a fake reality star act out a scripted scene, I'd rather just watch The Hills.

If any of you watched the season premiere of The Hills last night (I'm ashamed to admit I did), you were reminded why season two of Laguna Beach never worked: Kristin just can't deliver the voiceover half as well as Lauren, and she's too confident and bitchy to be relatable to us real girls!
But whether or not the show will actually survive a new star or if it'll bomb like her season of LB did, it was definitely one of the most interesting episodes yet! One party and Kristin's already getting into catfights with the entire cast! Meow!
But the drama doesn't end there - Kristin talked to US about how she feels about her new castmates, and obvi, it wasn't very nice. When asked about Audrina's "transformation" (i.e. boob job) since the first season, Cavallari straight out laughed in their faces before answering, "I'm not commenting on her plastic surgery."
She then went on to say, "I think that Audrina and Stephanie were very judgmental and just wrote me off right away without getting to know me," which was probably true but after her display why would they want to?
Anyhoo, entertaining or not, I think they might have been better off if they went with another nice(ish) girl who loved bad boys as the star - like Audrina.
