She unfollows him on Twitter after he tweets line about 'my old bitch'

(NEWSER) - It's splitsville again for the hard-boozing Rihanna and Chris Brown—at least on Twitter. The pair have been exchanging flirty tweets , fueling reports that they were quietly back together. But that's all over now—and it's all because of a remix. Brown tweeted a line from Kanye West's "Way too Cold" about "my old bitch," and how "everybody don had her/shook the tree like a pumpkin just to smash her." Rihanna apparently believed Brown was referring to her, and tweeted: "Aw, poor dat #neaux1currrrr," and promptly unfollowed her old beau. He did the same after tweeting: “Assumptions! I didn't say any names so if u took offense to it then it’s something you feel guilty about." More»

Kardashian, West rumors pretty clearly a grab for attention

(NEWSER) - Let's start with the obvious: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are "dating," aka "engaging in a vast publicity stunt." Which is apparently working, based on the dozens of articles written about their "relationship." To get you up to speed:

• Kanye admitted his "love" in song: In his new single "Theraflu," he raps, "And I’ll admit, I had fell in love with Kim / Around the time she had fell in love with him / Well that’s cool, baby girl, do your thing / Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team." It would appear he's referring to Kardashian ("Kim"), Kris Humphries ("him"), and Jay-Z ("Jay," Kanye's friend and part-owner of Humphries' team, the New Jersey Nets), the New York Post speculates.
• They went on a very long, very public date: Kim and Kanye were spotted together on the same day "Theraflu" dropped—the coincidence!—seeing The Hunger Games together Wednesday night and then appearing "close and intimate" at a theater performance, a source tells Us . Yesterday morning, Kim was photographed leaving Kanye's place in her same clothes from the night before, then they were spotted having lunch together, TMZ reports, and going shopping at FAO Schwarz, E! adds.

New music video not exactly well-received

(NEWSER) - Justin Bieber teamed up with Mariah Carey for a new version of her '90s holiday classic, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," and the results are just about as bad as you'd expect. A sampling of the reactions:

• "Why has the Bieb launched a campaign to traumatize everyone who's old enough to remember the '90s?" moans Margaret Hartmann on Jezebel . His Boyz II Men video was bad enough, but "now he's released a Macy's commercial disguised as a Mariah Carey duet—though we used that term loosely because it sounds like Bieber is just wailing over the old recording of the song."
