It’s not really possible to find Chris Brown, 22, and Rihanna,24, back together after Brown  is currently serving five years’ probation for brutally assaulting her three years ago on the eve of the Grammy Awards. But yap, they are teaming again on collaborations. The remix of Turn up the Music is one of the ex-couple’s two collaborations that the pair intentionally leaked via Twitter on Monday.

The collaboration immediately attracted the crowd’s and media’s attention.  After producers of Rihanna’s lusty track “Birthday Cake” tweeted the remix would shock the world, Rihanna was assumed would celebrate her birthday by releasing an extended take of the track featuring Brown’s vocals. Karen Civil, the hip-hop blogger, who didn’t explain the details of the collaboration on her popular, said that given Rihanna’s knack for being provocative, the track shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

“I think that it can only help them both at this time,” Civil said. “We can’t go back and change what’s already been done, or recorded and released in this case. Will it hurt Rihanna’s career? Perhaps, in the aspect of standing up against domestic violence. However a listener or fan cannot dictate someone’s life, and she is entitled to her own decisions.”

There was furor that the Recording Academy allowed the singer to perform twice and take home the trophy for R&B album. His awkward shuffling onstage demonstrated he hadn’t expected the win, and the relative hush of the audience seemed to say, “You should not be here.”

While the collaboration may seem doubtable to some, neither seems to care what the public thinks. She tweeted, “They can say whatever, Ima do whatever… No pain is forever <—–YUP! YOU KNOW THIS,” as well as, “Music heals the world…we need more!!!!” He tweeted, “Let them be mad!!!! We make music. Don’t like it, don’t listen!” Listen to the collaborations you were excited for/dreading/don’t care about at the link.

Yea, Experienced bad moments with Brown don’t make Rihanna think about revenge. She reconciled with Brown briefly after his arrest. “When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part,” she said. “I couldn’t be held responsible for telling them ‘Go back.’ Even if Chris never hit me again, who’s to say that their boyfriend won’t?”

“Now in Birthday Cake,” she purrs, “Remember how you did it, if you still wanna kiss it, then come and get it.” On Brown’s track, she sings, “I love you, baby.”

This beautiful 24-year-old is not a superstar, but the crowd has talked about her as if she were a superstar when she was kidnapped and now, when she has married her fiancé. Yap, Elizabeth Smart has married her Scottish fiancé at a Mormon temple in Hawaii. A family spokesman, Chris Thomas, confirmed Elizabeth married Matthew Gilmour of Aberdeen, Scotland, on Saturday on Oahu’s north shore.

“Elizabeth’s desire was for what most women want — to celebrate her nuptials in a private wedding with family and close friends,” Thomas said in a statement. “She decided, about a week ago, the best way to avoid significant distraction was to change her wedding plans and to get married in an unscheduled ceremony outside of Utah.”

The couple decided to hold their special moment at the Laie Hawaii Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in front of a small group of family members, Thomas said. The group then celebrated at a private reception and luau.

“The bride and groom were beaming as they left the LDS Temple,” Thomas said. He said the couple planned to go on an extended honeymoon in an undisclosed location.

Elizabeth and the Prince Charming Gilmour got engaged last month and initially made plans to wed this summer. The wedding was held several months earlier than planned after news of her engagement last month attracted media’s attention.

In the engagement announcement, Elizabeth’s father, Ed Smart was the exited one. He told more about the fiancé and the wedding plan than the daughter did. And now he is still surprised and happy for the marriage, for the husband who will love and protect his daughter from the second kidnapping.

“We’re just thrilled that she’s married,” the daddy said in a statement, calling the ceremony a “kind of a spur-of-a-moment thing.”

Elizabeth was kidnapped at 14-year-old in Utah by Brian David Mitchell and called her kidnapping ‘nine months of hell’. Wish her now starting years of heaven with the chosen man.

The two members band Sleigh Bells has prepared their recorded tracks and they are launching their new album Reign of Terror this week via Mom + Pop. It was featured by the New York Times an a Reign of Terror full album stream this week. Sleigh Bells performed the songs Comeback Kid and End of the Line of their upcoming album Reign of Terror.

“FIRST came the recorded sound: drums and riffs, some demonically heavy marching band. Next, a couple of guys with guitars, who immediately started messing with their pedals in the darkened club. Two minutes later there was Alexis Krauss, with ripped jeans and a distinct saunter. She raised her arms as she reached the microphone, the black-haired queen of this stage. White lights exploded behind her, over a wall of Marshall stacks and an unfurled American flag,” reads the NY Times description of the live experience.

The duo which is comprised of Derek E. Miller and Alexis Krauss offer the different dynamics performances to expand the songs. They offer long-lined melodies instead of chants, more extensive layers of guitar, and lyrics that open themselves to reflection and sorrow. It’s may surprising to hear Sleigh Bells’ newer music has more on its mind than elemental impact. Under the salvos of programmed percussion, new songs like “End of the Line,” “Comeback Kid” and “Leader of the Pack” were anthems of mourning and consolation.

Jeremy Lin the Knicks’ primary point guard presented impressing 3-pointer shot Sunday afternoon and led the Knicks to the victory. The first American-born Taiwanese player scored 28 points and a career-high assist in the Knicks’ 104-97 victory over Dallas Mavericks at Madison Square Garden. The mates Steve Novak made four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter— three on assists from Lin and he had all of his 14 in the final period as New York won for the eighth time in nine games.

After the Mavericks closed the gap to 95-93, Lin hit another 3, this time over Marion, with 2:57 remaining. He closed the afternoon by stealing the ball from Nowitzki and sending a deep pass to Chandler for a game-sealing breakaway dunk.

“The game that he had, that’s ridiculous,” Coach Mike D’Antoni said. “It just seems like the harder the moment, the better he shoots the ball and makes big plays. He’s definitely fearless.”

“I think in the moment, I don’t really think too much about it,” Lin said with a smile. “But looking back, it’s like, I was watching them win the championship last year. And that’s obviously where this team wants to go.”

Tyson Chandler, who helped Dallas win the title last June, had 14 points and 10 rebounds. “I think this was the best team effort we’ve had all year,” Chandler said, adding: “We really have a balance now. You can see it will be that much better when we get Melo back.”

The Knicks have won eight of their last nine games, all since Lin became their primary point guard, and most of them without Carmelo Anthony, who injured his groin two weeks ago. They expected him to return Monday night against the Nets.

According to Daily Beast, Lin’s high school coach, Peter Diepenbrock, was also in attendance, and several of Lin’s friends wore T-shirts commemorating his rise from Palo Alto High School to Harvard to N.B.A. fame, smiling to the NBA star proudly. Fans chant and hold signs in support of New York Knicks’ Jeremy Lin during the second half of an NBA basketball game. Lin appreciates and respects the euphoria since his emergence as an NBA star, but he requested to the media for his family’s privacy in Taiwan.

“I just want people to respect the privacy of my relatives in Taiwan and I think hopefully this will get back to everybody because they need to live their lives as well.” Lin said.

The hall of fame catcher Garry Carter has passed away leaving memories of the exuberance he displayed on the field at 57-year-old. The Kid died Thursday at a hospice in the West Palm Beach, Fla., area after battling brain cancer.

Carter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last May, two weeks after finishing his second season as coach at Palm Beach Atlantic University. After Carter’s diagnosis, the Mets began playing a highlight reel of his accomplishments on the video board during games at City Field and posted this message: “Our thoughts are with you Gary. From your millions of fans and the New York Mets.”

Garry Carter’s family in home and field feel the death as huge loss. Kimmy Bloemers, Carter’s daughter, wrote on the family website to pour out the sadness.

“I am deeply saddened to tell you all that my precious dad went to be with Jesus today at 4:10 p.m.,” Bloemers said. “This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to write in my entire life but I wanted you all to know.”

“I believe with all my heart that dad had a standing ovation as he walked through the gates of heaven to be with Jesus,” Bloemers added. “Thank you all for loving my dad and my entire family.”

Mets Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver had this to say about Carter, “Nobody loved the game of baseball more than Gary Carter. Nobody enjoyed playing the game of baseball more than Gary Carter. He wore his heart on his sleeve every inning he played,”

Carter’s bubbly personality and eagerness to excel on a ball field made him a joy to watch at the plate and behind it. Even his Hall of Fame bronze plaque at Cooperstown shows him with a toothy grin and bears his boyish nickname — the “Kid” forever. The Mets told his nickname ‘The Kid’ captured how Gary approached life.

“He did everything with enthusiasm and with gusto on and off the field. His smile was infectious. He was a Hall of Famer in everything he did.”

“Gary was one of the happiest guys in the world every day,” Mets teammate Mookie Wilson once said.

Carter whose single for the Mets in the 1986 World Series touched off one of the most improbable rallies in baseball was immediately recognizable with curly, blond locks flaring out from beneath his helmet, and a rigid, upright batting stance. The Kid was an 11-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner. His bottom-of-the-10th single in Game 6 of the 1986 Series helped the Mets mount a charge against the Boston Red Sox and eventually beat them. Carter played nearly two decades with the Mets, Montreal, San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the two decades career Carter played 2,296 games in his career and finished with 324 home runs and 1,225 runs batted in.

Carter has presented the durability and hard work and developed a reputation as a smiling assassin who delivered clutch hits and rock-solid defense.

“The Kid’s contribution to our National Pastime is big, but his heart was even bigger,” Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson said in a statement. “We’ll always remember his caring way, ever-present smile and strong devotion to family, community and the Baseball Hall of Fame.”

New episodes of Stephen Colbert‘s Comedy Central The Colbert Report were suddenly halted this week. The network spokesman, Steve Albani, had this as the only explanation, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the show will air repeat episodes on Wednesday, Feb. 15, and Thursday, Feb. 16.”

The crowd immediately poured out their assumption about the cause. On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the schedule change was prompted by an unspecified family emergency, although production could resume as early as next week. No date was given.

The audiences who have held the ticket to Wednesday night’s show, many of whom were already at the New York City studio, received a last-minute email canceling the taping “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

Some details came from the New York Post on Friday. The newspaper, citing sources close to the show, said the host, 47, took a break because of his 91-year-old mother, Lorna Colbert – to whom Stephen, one of 11 children, is said to be very close.

In 1974, the Colberts experienced the loss of their father James and two of Stephen’s brothers, Peter and Paul, in a plane crash. So although it’s not good news, it’s pretty reasonable for Colberts to halts the show.

According to ABC News, On Wednesday morning, the show promoted what would have been on that night’s program.

“Watch Stephen help shape the message of Colbert Super PAC with the help of political strategist Frank Luntz,” read the last tweet from the Colbert Report Twitter account, suggesting the cancellation was sudden.

Colbert himself, who routinely tweets, has not updated his account since Tuesday.

Finally Malachy the Pekingese became the best in the dog show. Last year Malachy competed in the Best of Show group, but Hickory the Scottish Deerhound defeated the dog. This year the Pekingese beat out the favorites like German Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher, Irish Setter, Dalmatian, a Kerry blue terrier and wire-haired dachshund to become America’s most prized pooch in Best in Show group. He beat a prize affenpinscher called Banana Joe in a most competitive group. Malachy whose smushed-in face frames a mop of flyaway fur and whose pace rivals a snail’s put on a peak performance Tuesday night, wobbling off with best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.

Maybe they were only dog. But that was a contest. Whatever the contest, the contestant and the winner always been highly appreciated. The crowd, especially the handler was cheering along the event and hollering the dogs name at Madison Square Garden. Malachy’s handler David Fitzpatric who’s also a co-owner always on his side. The 4-year-old dog and rivals was also excited by the yells. Malachy’s pink tongue popped out from his black face, his eyes sparkling like black diamonds and swished his tail as he soaked in the cheers.

“He saved all his energy for the ring today,” David Fitzpatrick said. “No other dog moves like this,” Yap, Malachy is supposed to move with a “slow and dignified” gait. Fitzpatrick added,” “He doesn’t run. He has a dignified Pekingese gait,”

Judge Cindy Vogels chose Malachy in front of adoring supporter. The No. 2 show dog in the nation this year had heard it before, having taken the toy group here last February.

“Super dog, and he had a stupendous night,” she said. “There’s a lot of dog in a small package.”

Malachy is the fourth Pekingese won at Westminster and the first since 1990. Fitzpatrick said Malachy was likely headed back to East Berlin, Pennsylvania for a life in retirement.

Audiences was also cheering for the other categories. From the Sporting group, the German Wirehaired, Labrador Retriever, English Setter, Irish Setter, English Springer Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon were brought down after the first cut and then the Best of Group order went 1) Emily the Irish Setter, 2) German Wirehaired Pointer, 3) English Springer Spaniel and 4) Irish Water Spaniel.

The Working group was next, there were the Alaskan Malamut, Bernese Mountain Dog, Boxer, Doberman, Rottweiler, Samoyed, Standard Schnauzer and Tibetan Mastiff. The order for Best in Group went 1) Fifi the Doberman, 2) Boxer, 3) Alaskan Malamut and 4) Standard Schnauzer.

Finally, the Terrier group capped off the group competition. Brought down after the first cut was the American Staffordshire, Australian, Border, Smooth Fox, Kerry Blue, Scottish, Skye and Welsh. The Best of Group went 1) Chelsey the Kerry BLue, 2) Smooth Fox, 3) Skye and 4) American Staffordshire.

TMZ was the first media post the leaked cover of Kate Upton’s pose and it just like announced that Miss Upton will grace the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. A few of the issues arrived early to a gas station in Michigan. The blonde was a vision in the ‘minimalist red’, tall and beautiful and the pictures are already making the online rounds.

The opinions didn’t only refer to her pose in swimsuit. The crowds see the 19-year-old Upton as a stunner. Kate Upton was recently rumored to be dating Mark Sanchez of the New York Jets. But she was standing beside Giants receiver Victor Cruz in a club on Valentine day and confirmed,” “I have low self-esteem right now,” she said, still laughing. “Victor Cruz turned me down as his Valentine.”

Fans, especially men, may adore Upton as the fascinating model and some reporters and photographers have prove how elegant she was when under their direction, but apparently the Victoria’s Secret casting director, Sophia Neophitou, is not really impressed by it. According to The New York Times, she won’t choose Upton as her wings for the annual runway show.

“We would never use’ Ms. Upton for a Victoria’s Secret show. She’s too obvious and too blonde.”

The casting director also told the details why the 5-foot-10 sexy Upton wouldn’t be able to hang with Victoria’s Secret Angels Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel during the nationally televised event.

“She’s like a Page 3 girl,” Neophitou continued, referencing the spread of scantily clad women that runs in the British newspaper The Sun. “She’s like a footballer’s wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy.”

The ‘most awarded woman singer in a night’ record of Beyonce finally was tied by British neo-soul songstress Adele. Adele became the sixth artist to win six awards in a night (the last was the Dixie Chicks in 2007) and the youngest act (23) to nail the top three categories.

Adele is now a six-time Grammy winner, sweeping Album, Record and Song of the Year, as well as Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Short Form Video and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday (Feb. 12). Adele netted trophies for her record-smashing album 21 and hit singles “Rolling In The Deep” and “Someone Like You”.

Adele also presented performances to prove she’s really proper to be nominated and crowned by Grammy awards. She performs for the first time since her throat surgery last fall and she thanked the doctor who helped bring her voice back to the stage after a vocal cord hemorrhage last year. The 23-year-old singer showed off her restored vocal prowess with a dynamic reading of Rolling in the Deep and she earned a sustained ovation for the impressing voice.

Adele’s winning was little bit surprising because the most nominated act of the night is Kanye West. However West didn’t earn the disappointing result. The rapper picked up trophies for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “All of the Lights”, and Best Rap Performance for “Otis” (with Jay-Z), and Best Rap Album for “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”.

Bobbi Kristina, Whitney Houston’s daughter was hospitalized at 10:30 a.m. Sunday in a distraught reaction after the Mom has gone forever. The 18-year-old Kristina was treated for a stress-related condition and released, according to sources close to the family who refused to be named The sudden death was not only shocked the family but also the fans, Grammy insiders, and the society at large. To determine the sudden death’s cause, police and coroner’s officials is investigating the death location and the corpse.

The sudden death stimulates many assumptions, but so far there’s no obvious sign of foul play found. Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen said, “There were no obvious signs of criminal intent at the scene of Houston’s death. Her body was discovered by a member of her entourage.”

The cause of death is unknown, but it is increasingly looking like Whitney may have fallen asleep or lapsed into unconsciousness in the bathtub and drowned. Whitney reportedly had been drinking the night before and authorities believe a combination of Xanax and alcohol could have fatally sedated her.

Capt. John Kades of the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said an autopsy was begun Sunday, but results would be withheld at the request of Beverly Hills police. According to the TMZ, a coroner’s spokesman says the results are on a security hold, which just means nothing is being released at this time. Although the autopsy of Whitney is complete, a cause of death cannot be determined until the toxicology results which normally take a month.

Until today, there’re stories related to reaction over Houston’s death. About Whitney’s career, Whitney’s drug issue, Whitney’s ex-husband, and another testimonies about the superstar. A story came from a local music booking agent, Al Tillman, who has ever invited Whitney and her then-husband Bobby Brown to the Taboo Bistro club in Atlanta about four years ago to hear a band perform.

Tillman noted that Houston’s death comes about a week after the death of “Soul Train” creator Don Cornelius. Tillman said not many people remember that Houston and Brown met at the 1989 Soul Train music awards. “She was bombing and people were booing, and Bobby came out and starts to rock the house,” Tillman said. “She had a crush on him because of that. They started dating after that and got married.”
