OMG!! Rihanna Asked To Leave Abu Dhabi Mosque For Taking “Racy” Pictures

Rihanna ruffled some feathers again this past weekend during her visit to the famed Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. Things went wrong when she was spotted by mosque staff taking what they considered to be “racy” photos. Also, she was covered up from head to toe in and wore a hijab headcovering to respect the culture, but her red lipstick offended some visitors and staffers. A spokesperson from the mosque said that Rihanna came for a private tour to the mosque at a gate that is not meant for visitors without identifying herself or coordinating the visit in advance.

“She left without entering the mosque, after being asked to do so, due to the fact that she had taken some pictures that do not conform with the conditions and regulations put in place by the Centre’s management to regulate visits in a way that takes the status

LOL: Robber-To-Be Falls Right Into The Arms Of Police

Criminals are so stupid sometimes. A man trying to rob a CVS in Florida got caught simply by falling into the arms of a police officer’s arms.

According to a police report filed in Melbourne, Florida, police were patrolling an area in the early morning hours when they heard the burglar alarm go off at a nearby CVS. “The The officers immediately relayed this information to other units and approached the business exterior where they found an open access hatch in the drive-through ceiling.” One officer also saw the tiles in the ceiling moving when he was inside of the store.

As the cops were securing the crime scene, the wanna-be robber named Alex David McBride fell through the ceiling and landed on a few police officers waiting below. “While securing the perimeter and waiting for the K9 officer, the burglar fell through the drive-thru hatch and down to the officers waiting below.”

When Alex McBRide hit the ground, he was wearing a ski mask, gloves, and had prescription pills in his possession. Too bad he didn’t have common sense in his possession to know that his plan wasn’t going to work.

RUMOUR: Kanye Allegedly Tells Kim Enough With The Plastic Surgery

It’s no real secret that Kim Kardashian has been altered in various ways via plastic surgery to look the way she does. Well, now her guy is apparently forbidding her to change anything else with the knife.

We all remember that Kanye lost his amazing mother due to complications from a botched tummy tuck and other plastic surgery procedures that to be honest she really didn’t need. She was beautiful just as she was. So we’re going to go out on a limb and guess that Kanye had that on his mind when he forbade Kim to have a tummy tuck after their new daughter North was born.

Sources told Radar Online,

“Kim was certain that she wanted to have surgery after giving birth because she wanted a head start on losing her baby weight. But when Kanye got wind of her plans, He really flipped out.

Kanye told Kim in no uncertain terms that she needed to put her baby and her life first. He got pretty emotional because he really didn’t want her going through that kind of major surgery. He’s still traumatized from his mom’s death.”

Sounds like he didn’t want what happened to him to happen to little North. No one should lose a parent that way. We’re with Kanye. Do it naturally Kim…you seem to be doing just fine so far.

Uncle Snoop — is an annual celebration of the biggest and brightest stars in the rap game today and also tips a hat to the rappers of the past who have paved the way.

The highlight of the show was of course the gritty black-and-white cyphers that featured underground acts such as Action Bronson and Rapsody, brought back Lil Kim, and the highly-anticipated TDE cypher in which Kendrick Lamar apparently took aim at his (former?) homie Drake. ‘The Real Husbands of Hollywood,’ featuring Kevin Hart, Nick Cannon, Nelly and other cast members, did their own cypher, bringing some levity to the otherwise dead serious spit sessions.

First-Week Sales for Pusha T, Drake, Miley Cyrus And More......

It looks like Pusha T got the support he deserved for his debut solo album. According to Billboard, My Name Is My Name debuts at No. 4 in the Billboard 200 this week having sold a healthy 75,000 first-week copies. Not only comfortably meeting its projected amount, that’s also 3,000 more than what G.O.O.D. Music label mate Big Sean achieved in his opening week with Hall of Fame.

Topping the chart this week is Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz, which sold 270,000 units. Despite being her first album to boast both No. 1 and No. 2 singles (“Wrecking Ball” and “We Can’t Stop,” respectively), not to mention her unescapable presence in the media, it still couldn’t top 2008′s Breakout, which movied a considerable 371,000 first-week copies.

Meanwhile, Drake’s Nothing Was the Same remains in the top 3 with an additional 83,000 copies sold in its third week on the chart. Indie favorite Danny Brown scores his first top 20 album with his widely acclaimed Old, which sold 15,000 copies to claim the No. 17 spot.

MUSIC: Game - Hollywood (50Cent Diss)

It looks like Jayceon’s up to his old tricks again. Despite expressing his desire to reunite with 50 Cent in an interview with DJ Skee just days ago, the Compton rapper goes on wax to send a quick F.U. to his old boss. “Hub city, thugs with me, buck 50/ Reunite with G-Unit?
