Hating on flight attendants is universal at this point, correct? Unless you’re Gerard Depardieu and you need to pee. But doesn’t everyone have a “this flight attendant was the worst” story? Or am I about to be regaled with stories of your BFF, the stewardess, who would never say one harsh thing against a passenger? Whatever, I’ll say it: flight attendants are power-crazed jagoffs. And one of them just had a beef with Alec Baldwin. Apparently, Alec was on an American Airlines flight yesterday. And when I say “on a flight” I mean “sitting at the gate, waiting to take off.” The flight attendant told Alec to stop playing Words With Friends, and then Alec was escorted off the flight. Dramz?

American Airlines encourages its customers to “be themselves, nonstop” — unless that customer is Alec Baldwin.

The 53-year-old 30 Rock actor was kicked off his flight from L.A. Tuesday afternoon. Several passengers confirmed the news via Twitter moments as Baldwin was removed from the plane.

Said Activate founder and managing director Michael J. Wolf: “On an AA flight at LAX. Alec Baldwin removed from the plane We had to go back to the gate. Terrible that everyone had to wait.”

Baldwin’s early exit may have been due to his use of electronics. “The flight attendant on American reamed me out for playing Words With Friends while we sat at the gate, not moving,” Baldwin tweeted. “No wonder American Air is bankrupt.”

“But, oddly, 30 Rock plays inflight on American,” Baldwin added. “The real way is United.”

Baldwin’s rep explained the ordeal to Us Weekly, saying: “Alec was asked to leave the flight for playing Words with Friends while parked at the gate. He loves WWF so much that he was willing to leave a plane for it, but he has already boarded another AA flight.”

TMZ reports that there was an additional confrontation after the flight attendant “reamed” him for playing a game on his phone:

The last straw in the Alec Baldwin/American Airlines incident came when he “slammed” the bathroom door so loudly the captain of Flight 4 had to get involved … according to people on the plane.

We’re told Baldwin’s tweets about the incident are on point — flight attendants wanted him to shut off his cell phone in the middle of a game of “Words with Friends” … after the cabin door closed, but the plane remained at the gate.

But according to passengers … after the confrontation over his phone, Alec got up to go to the bathroom and angrily slammed the lavatory door. We’re told it was so loud the captain called back to flight attendants to find out what was happening.

That’s when the captain himself made the call to have Baldwin removed.

Sources close to Alec claim he did not slam the door, and only got up to get the flight attendant’s name so he could file a complaint — but because the fasten seat belt sign was on he was asked to leave the plane.

Alec boarded the next LAX-JFK flight — and we’re guessing he’s enjoying an intense match of ‘Words’ right now … at 40,000 feet.

[From TMZ]

Meh. It sounds everyone, from Alec to the flight attendant to the captain, were all asses, honestly. I’ll always believe that Alec Baldwin is an ass in real life, just like I’ll always believe that most flight attendants are power-crazed jagoffs. I don’t have a stereotype about plane captains, though. Mostly I just hope they aren’t drunk or asleep.

I told you this week’s tabloids featured push-back from Team Kat-Face! Life & Style’s cover story this week is all about how Kris Humphries is a horrible homophobe and a gay-basher, and now Us Weekly has released their cover story, and SURPRISE. Kris Humphries is also a fat-basher. As in, he would make fun of Kim’s weight and call her a “fat ass”. And “stupid”. And then she called him a “booger-face” and a “peckerwood”. And then Kris pulled her pigtails and pushed her and Kim cried and called for the teacher, because apparently we’re all still in the first grade.

Harsh Humphries! Kim Kardashian has been raked over the coals in the court of public opinion ever since she filed for divorce from Kris Humphries Oct. 31. But the real villain in the 72-day marriage, pals tell the new Us Weekly, was out-of-work NBA star Humphries, 26.

After lavishly tying the knot Aug. 20, Kardashian’s hubby soaked up the perks of being married to one of the most successful reality stars ever — staying out late at clubs in NYC and L.A., and demanding free bottle service and more wherever he went.

Even worse? He could be downright cruel to Kardashian, 31. “He belittled her in front of people,” one insider tells Us. “He’d call her stupid. It was truly sickening.”

The source adds that Humphries resented his wife’s fame and fortune. “He tried to control Kim by bring her down…He would say truly terrible things. One time, he said she had no talent and her fame wouldn’t last.”

He even took exception to her world-famous posterior, calling her “fat ass,” the source says.

And when Kardashian (who rarely drinks and tends to go to bed early) asked her man to skip the nights out in favor of quality time, “He would tell her she was acting like too much of a wife and ‘get over it,’” another insider says.

For much more on why Humphries was the husband from hell — he “picked fights” and bullied her closest friends, was caught “scoping out” other women at clubs and more — pick up the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday

[From Us Weekly]

Will I buy that Kris Humphries was emotionally abusive and rude? Sure. He was rude on their wedding special, and I thought he was particularly nasty and immature when it came to interacting with Kim’s sisters. I wonder which insult hurt Kim more, stupid or fat ass? When someone insults my (lack of) intelligence, I just kind of laugh it off. But if someone called me a fat ass, much less if it was my boyfriend or husband? I would cry. I would have a total meltdown. And that dude would never see my biscuits ever again. Because he would be a mean, rude booger-face. Oh, and personally, I don’t like the idea of saying Kim is in any way “fat” – she’s not. She’s just not a size 4 (as she claims).

By the way, just to reiterate the point: Kris is definitely going to be painted as “the villain” as Kourtney and Kim Take New York gets edited and re-edited. Sources have already said that producers are re-jiggering the show in post-production so that it will become increasingly obvious WHY Kim dumped Kris. Meanwhile, I think Gwyneth Paltrow is probably seeking Kris out so they can fat-bash together.

Okay, Chicago Celebitches. Which one of you went up to LeAnn Rimes and told her to eat something? Y’all bitches are SO RUDE. On Friday, LeAnn was having dinner in Chicago, at the lounge bar Double A, with Eddie and his parents when someone came over to their table and told LeAnn to eat something. LeAnn tweeted, “How dare someone come to me at a table w/ the boys & tell me I need to eat something. What is wrong with people!? AS I’m stuffing my face….have another drink and maybe take a class in manners! Cheers!”

Sigh… I’m of two minds on this. One, yes, this was definitely rude. If the situation had been weight-reversed, and someone had gone up to a heavy celebrity and told her to STOP eating, wouldn’t you be offended? It’s one thing to say that LeAnn is a bony, narcissistic dumbass in private, but to go up to her and tell her to eat something? It is rude. On the other side, I get the feeling that LeAnn is secretly pleased that she’s emaciated enough that people come up to her and tell her to eat. Operation Thinner Than Brandi continues to be successful! LeAnn loves how thin she is, and this random comment probably made her week.

Of course, LeAnn had to bitch and whine about it on Twitter for a while. She wrote, “once again DONE talking to rude people who have NO right to have an opinion on my body. Out of line!” And “No ones talks about the fact that the woman was terribly wrong in her actions, that’s sad…if it happened to someone who wasn’t a ‘celebrity’ it would be rude, but to a public figure it’s socially expectable?!” Ugh.

So here’s the deal: don’t do anything that makes me feel sorry for LeAnn. She doesn’t deserve any sympathy, and I dislike feeling even a twinge for her. I hate defending her. But stop telling her to her face that she’s an emaciated twit.

I used to be cool enough to know who all of the latest and best bands were before they went mainstream. No more. I only began paying attention to the Kings of Leon over the last year, and it’s really only THIS year that I even bothered to associate the band name with any of their songs, and with gossip about the band. Unfortunately for everyone, the piece of news I always associate with “Kings of Leon” is that Twitter bitch-fest that Nathan Followill had with Glee creator Ryan Murphy, where both of them looked like douches.

Anyway, the Kings of Leon were playing a concert in Dallas on Friday, and after they had played a handful of songs (some say 11 songs), Caleb Followill, the lead singer, walked off the stage saying that he was “just f–king hot” and that he needed a beer. Chaos ensued:

After their Dallas concert Friday night was cut short, Kings of Leon has announced they will be returning to the city to play an additional show. All original tickets will be honored at the new show, Wednesday, September 21.

Their Friday concert ended abruptly after frontman Caleb Followill said he needed to take a breather backstage, throw up and drink a beer, THR reported. He also told fans, “For the record, I’m not drunk—I’m just f***ing hot.” The temperatures were in the 90s during the outdoor concert at Gexa Energy Pavillion in historic Fair Park.

“Caleb Followill suffered from heat exhaustion and dehydration, during last night’s Dallas performance causing his vocal chords to seize,” a rep for the band said in a statement.

However, Kings of Leon bassist and Followill’s brother, Jared, hinted to other problems on twitter after the show.

“Dallas, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed. No words,” he wrote, later adding, “I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren’t stupid. I can’t lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade.”

The band was supposed to play Saturday in Houston, but postponed the show for September 22. Ticketholders who are unable to attend the make-up shows will be entitled to full refunds at their original point of purchase.

Fans may be reminded of another Kings of Leon concert that was cut short exactly a year ago. In July 2010, the band left a concert in St. Louis after just three songs when a pigeon dropping landed in Jared Followill’s mouth.

[From The Hollywood Reporter]

Ha, I forgot about the pigeon crap story. Maybe the problem is summer concerts? Maybe they should only tour in the fall and spring months.

As for Caleb walking off… I’m of two minds. First, yeah, it’s totally a d-bag move and I can see why so many fans were and are pissed off. He should have handled himself better and God knows, there could totally be “something else” (drugs?) going on. On the other side, I hate exerting myself when it’s really hot (as it was in Dallas on Friday), so I kind of admire them all for getting through 11 songs without any of them passing out on stage. I would have been a lump of sweat and rudeness within five minutes on that stage.

There’s video too:

This isn’t a breaking news story or anything, nor is it super-important in the grand scheme of things. This isn’t even one of the worst/funniest stories of Katherine Heigl’s diva insanity, but it totally made me laugh. According to Page Six, Dame Heigl took in a show of The Book of Mormon. Heigl’s family IS Mormon, right? I think they’re converts, if I’m not mistaken. Anyway, Heigl and her mom (her BFF and basically her only friend) showed up late, caused a commotion, and then Dame Heigl, in true Gloria Swanson fashion, sat through the show with her sunglasses on, puffing on her electronic cigarette.

Katherine Heigl caused quite a stir at a Saturday performance of “The Book of Mormon.” A spy reports the star and her mother arrived at the show 20 minutes after it started, and guests seated in her row had to get up. Ten minutes later, Heigl’s husband, Josh Kelly, showed up, and they had to move again to let him get to his seat next to her.

Attendees also said the “Grey’s Anatomy” actress “wore big dark sunglasses and discreetly bent down and puffed on an electronic cigarette during the show.”

Heigl’s rep had no comment.

[From Page Six]

You know what would have made this story better? Lady-turbans. If Dame Heigl and Mother Heigl had shown up in sunglasses (in a darkened theater), puffing on e-cigs and WEARING LADY-TURBANS. That would have been the height of celebrity discretion.

As I read this story, you know what I got as the subtext? JOSH is the third wheel, not Mother Heigl. Katherine and her mom do everything together, and they obviously wanted to see the show, and Josh just met up with them at the theater like a third wheel. How much longer is this marriage going to last?

It seems like the new celebrity trend is making fun of fat people and saying critical things to their faces. Gwyneth Paltrow did it to her “friend” and now this surprisingly explicit Enquirer story claims that Julia Roberts absolutely detests that her half-sister Nancy is overweight. Just to make this clear – I had no problems slamming Gwyneth for her rudeness, because that story came directly from the dude she criticized TO HIS FACE. This Enquirer story might be completely fabricated, but considering the specifics, I’m getting a feeling that some (if not all) of it is true. And if it is true, than Julia truly needs a good, hard slap. I’m not even joking. If she honestly said this this stuff to her sister under these circumstances, Julia is a complete and utter C-U-Next-Tuesday.

Julia Roberts and her half sister Nancy Motes are feuding again – this time over Nancy’s weight! Nancy, 35, has blown up to more than 300 pounds and her movie star sister is “disgusted” by her appearance, say sources.

“Julia’s made no secret of the fact that she’s not happy that Nancy’s gotten heavy,” said a source close to Julia’s husband Danny. “She thinks it’s humiliating for her and the entire family.”

Julia went out of her way to land Nancy a job as a production assistant on Glee, thanks to Julia’s connections with director Ryan Murphy – and Julia believes Nancy’s obesity reflects badly on her, continued the source.

Julia is also concerned that Nancy’s weight will make it difficult for her to continue to care for their 76-year-old mother, Betty, who struggled with her own health issues. While Julia has been paying Betty’s bills, Nancy is her part-time caretaker.

“Julia has asked Nancy point-blank, ‘Who’s going to keep an eye on mom if you get sick?’”

Tensions between Julia and her sister came to a head last month at Betty’s home in Pacific Palisades.

“Julia was rolling her eyes and making cutting comments about Nancy’s weight behind her back – whispering to partygoers, ‘Can you believe how big she’s gotten?’ When Nancy got wind of what Julia was saying, she confronted her, telling her to shut up and leave her alone. Julia shot back, ‘Well, I wouldn’t have to if you had enough self-respect to lose some weight!’ At which point, Nancy told Julia to ‘go f–k herself’ – thus ruining the party.”

The two women have not spoken since, and Nancy was noticeably absent from Julia’s 4-year-old son’s birthday party in June.

[From The Enquirer, print edition]

So, just to recap, Julia’s sister is the part-time caretaker for their mother, plus she has a full-time job as a production assistant on Glee – which is like a slave position, is very time-intensive, and I doubt Julia really had to pull many strings to get a sister what amounts to an “internship”. And Nancy is struggling with her weight. So instead of lending moral support, or suggesting help in finding a less time-consuming full time job, or suggesting that their mother needs full-time professional help to ease the burden off of Nancy, Julia decides the “solution” is to be a complete and utter bitch DURING A PARTY. And let me tell you something, it was Julia’s d-bag comments that shut the party down. “Well, I wouldn’t have to if you had enough self-respect to lose some weight!” That’s what shut the party down. Not “Go f–k yourself.” Don’t blame the overweight girl for Julia’s ridiculous, THAT’S SO TACKY behavior.

I wouldn’t have even managed to choke out an insult, honestly, if this story is true and I was in Nancy’s position. I would have simply choked the hell out of Julia.

“Why are you so fat? I don’t understand.” – Goop

I barely know who comedian Ross Mathews is. I think I know who he is, I should say. He talks with a high-pitched voice, right? And he once worked for The Tonight Show? Well, he’s on Chelsea Lately (a step down?) and he’s in the midst of getting himself into shape, which I admire. He’s now a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, and he seems pretty happy. But back in November of last year, he had not yet started on his weight loss journey. Back then, he was just a slightly overweight comedian who happened to run into Gwyneth Paltrow. Gwyneth’s mind must have been blown – I mean, here she was, standing in front of one of the fat peasants she had often imagined while toiling away at her aspirational Goop-letters. So Dame Gwyneth decided to speak up! According to Ross, Dame Goop pointed at his stomach and said, “What’s going on here? I love you. Get it together.” THUS SPOKETH THE GOOP. Don’t sugar-coat it or anything, Gwyneth. Just be a full-on bitch.

Last November, Gwyneth Paltrow gave Ross Mathews, the late night TV comic from Chelsea Lately – a little tough love.

“We were taping a Chelsea special,” Mathews, 31, tells PEOPLE, “and she pointed at my tummy and said, ‘What’s going on here? I love you. Get it together.”

That was all the motivation needed by Mathews – who was tipping the scales at around 220 lbs. After seeing his friend Sara Rue lose 50 lbs. on Jenny Craig, he signed up in January to be the diet company’s newest spokesperson.

“I was clueless about eating healthy before,” he says. “Now I’m making good choices.”

Even Paltrow has noticed the change. “I saw her when she was promoting her cookbook recently,” says Mathews. “She was so excited. She said, ‘You look good!’ ”

And she’s right: The comic has changed the way he eats, added exercise to his day and reached his goal weight of 180 lbs.

“The weight was such a shameful issue for me,” he admits. “I’m so happy to be rid of it.”

He’s also gone healthy. “I started walking rather than driving to get my coffee,” says the L.A. resident. “I liked it so much, I do it for 45 minutes every day … You know those annoying people who are like, ‘If I don’t work out I feel … ugh’? I might be becoming one of those people.

“And I’ve become a master chef,” adds Mathews. “I make a vegetable medley. I have actually started gardening. I have tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, green peppers, strawberries and blueberries.”

He’s even inspired someone else to get healthy. “My mom has joined Jenny Craig and is going to the gym now,” says Mathews. “She’s doing incredible. She’s half way to her goal.”

But the best perk of all? “When I look in the mirror,” he says, “I’m proud that I look healthy and happy.”

Over the years, I’ve been various weights, and when I’ve had some extra poundage, I’ve had bitchy things said to me about my extra weight. The best way to respond is to attack, letting your full-on C-U-Next-Tuesday rage: “Yeah, I have been eating too much fried chicken lately. I‘m starting to look like the chick your boyfriend is boning behind your back. That must suck, to feel like you’re too skinny and flat-chested to keep a man interested.” If someone (Goop) had come up to me, pointed at my stomach and said “What’s going on here? I love you. Get it together,” I would have started crying, and then punched her in face. You just don’t say that crap to people, honestly. I’m a raging bitch, and even I think that’s wrong. I mean, sure, maybe it was the “wakeup call” Ross needed to get healthier (although in my opinion, he really wasn’t all that heavy to begin with), but Gwyneth didn’t say it to him because she wants him to have a better life. She said it to him because his weight offended her deeply, as all of our peasanty lifestyles offend her.

Of course, the real answer is to say something equally cruel to Gwyneth. My choice would be to point at her biscuits and say “What’s going on here? Nothing? No one wants to be around it, especially your husband? I hate you. Get it together.”

Benjamin Millepied is just as testy and surly with journalists as his baby-mama Natalie Portman. I will always say that if a celebrity wants their privacy, there are ways to go about it. If a celebrity wants to not answer a certain line of questioning, there are ways to avoid those questions, or simply not answer them in a polite, professional way. Journalists have a job too – they get paid to ask questions. Most journalists understand “Oh, please, I don’t really want to discuss that. Next question, please.” That’s polite and professional. What’s not polite and professional is throwing a hissy fit when a journalist deigns to ask you about the whole reason why you’re famous: say, impregnating Natalie Portman. Such is the case with Benjamin.

Millepied was receiving some award a few days ago, and a reporter from the New York Times asked him a polite question about his baby-mama (“How‘s Natalie doing?” was the exact question). Instead of simply answering politely and vaguely, or even walking away, or just muttering something in French, Benjamin got butt-hurt and tried to have the NYT reporter bounced from the event. Ridiculous. The NYT piece is here, and here’s the behind-the-scenes story:

Benjamin Millepied hasn’t helped dispel the stereotype that the French are rude. The future Mr. Natalie Portman had some in the media yearning nostalgically for “freedom fries” on Thursday night when he demanded that a correspondent for The New York Times’ Nocturnalist column be kicked out of a New York University fete after she innocently inquired about the state of his pregnant fiancée.

Although The Times noted the international incident briefly in Saturday’s paper, a source familiar with what happened tells us the New York City Ballet dancer’s behavior was even more boorish than the newspaper reported.

The 33-year-old Millepied — whose status in the city has risen appreciably since he paired off with Portman — was at New York University’s Kimmel Center where he received a “Medal of Honor” from NYU’s La Maison Francaise.

There, a source says Millepied “grew increasingly testy” with a petite reporter from The Times as she asked him a handful of softball questions related to the evening, his background and career.

Our insider says the reporter, who was not Nocturnalist columnist Sarah Maslin Nir, playfuly asked Millepied if he had done anything “armylike” to receive his award. She was riffing on the fact that in the U.S., the Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration bestowed by the government to brave American soldiers, not French ballet dancers.

But Millepied either did not get this or chose not to be amused.

“You’re being funny?” we’re told the Francophile “snarled” at the reporter, in a performance worthy of a Darren Aronofsky film.

The worst was yet to come. As Nir wrote in The Times, shortly after her reporter politely asked, “How’s Natalie doing?” “Mr. Millepied stormed off, oozing exquisite hauteur. The kind, we suspect, that can emanate only from a ballet divo engaged to a megastar.”

Although our source says reporters had not been warned in advance to refrain from asking about Portman, Nir wrote that shortly after Millepied stalked away, “we were told by the organizers that our inquiring after Ms. Portman’s health was ‘inappropriate’ and that Mr. Millepied wanted us out.”

“Later still, we were told we could stay if we didn’t report,” Nir continues. “We left.” Bravo.

Perhaps Millepied’s tights were in a twist because he remembered a February Times article in which Dance magazine Editor Wendy Perron noted that the Millepied’s work as a choreographer “has been very spotty” and that he was “the next tier” from the top in terms of his work.

Neither Nir, nor a rep for Millepied could be reached for comment by deadline.

[From The New York Daily News]

Oh, for goodness sake. It kills me when celebrities act this way, and it’s especially stupid when it’s someone like Benjamin – you know, someone who is slightly famous in one particular area, to one specific group of people (the ballet world), who suddenly becomes a much bigger celebrity simply because of WHO HE IMPREGNATED. With that new-found fame, Benjamin got TONS of additional offers and work (including that twirling gig for YSL), so he just needs to suck it up and learn some professionalism instead of wandering around throwing fits like a butt-hurt baby. I should note something else too – this is not Benjamin’s first tangle with the paper of record. The NYT tried to profile him several months ago, and he was a total dick to them then too.

Meanwhile, in a recent interview, Natalie Portman compared herself to Audrey Hepburn and suggested that she (Natalie) was thinking about leaving Hollywood: “Audrey made some good choices in life… More and more I realize how unimportant it is to be in the history books or anything like that. Putting time and energy into your children – that’s valuable.” If you want to leave, leave. Don’t compare yourself to Audrey Hepburn as you’re going, though.

True story: I’ve referred to her as variations on “Raccoon McPantless” for so long, I now get a brainfart when I’m trying to remember her real name. Anyway, this story seems like it happened months ago, but here we go again: Taylor Momsen has been indefinitely suspended from Gossip Girl. Now, Our Raccoon was already on “indefinite leave” from Gossip Girl, and that was announced back in April – but that was something to do with her touring and promotional schedule for The Pretty Reckless. This sounds like Raccoon just pissed people off:

Sorry, Taylor Momsen fans; you won’t be seeing Jenny Humphrey on the little screen for the rest of the year—unless it’s in reruns.

Deadline Hollywood reports that the 17-year-old Momsen—who’s developed a reputation for increasingly volatile behavior—has been placed on indefinite hiatus on Gossip Girl, following next Monday’s episode.

Momsen has only appeared on a handful of episodes so far this season, including an episode guest-starring fashion guru Tim Gunn, who had some not-so-nice things to say about her onscreen behavior and lack of devotion to her craft.

The hiatus will extend to at least four episodes, beginning with the December 6 mid-seaon finale.

[From Celebuzz]

Eh. I actually think it’s kind of rude for Gossip Girl producers to act like it’s some kind of SCANDAL and Raccoon is so unprofessional right now. I mean, hasn’t she been an unprofessional little bitch this whole time? And wasn’t she already on leave (sort of) from the show? Whatever. On this one, I hate to admit, I’m mildly on Team Raccoon, just because it seems like the producers are making an unprofessional move, doing this whole thing in public. Maybe they’re trying to get her to quit and break her contract?

I didn’t think this was any big deal, but I guess on a slow gossip day, beggars can’t be choosers and after all, it has the potential to be a big bitch-fight, I guess. You know how Rihanna and Katy Perry are close friends, right? They’ve been tight for a few years, even performing together at some concerts. Rihanna even hosted Katy’s bachelorette party. Anyway, Rihanna was being interviewed in England, and she kind of gave a smack-down to Katy. Except not really… you decide:

Just because Rihanna is friends with Katy Perry, that doesn’t mean she has to like her music. And it turns out she really doesn’t.

In a recent interview with BBC’s Radio 1 about her new album, “Loud,” the 22-year-old singer slammed Perry’s chart-topping bubblegum pop.

“I didn’t want the generic pop record that Ke$sha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry would do,” she said, according to RadarOnline.com. “Every song was tailored to me.”

The blunt statement comes as a shock after the “Only Girl (In the World)” singer recently threw a bachelorette party for her “generic pop” buddy.

The “California Gurls” singer and Rihanna celebrated Perry’s upcoming nuptials at Las Vegas’ Hard Rock Hotel on Sept. 18. The duo was photographed attended the Cirque Du Soleil’s “KA” show at MGM Grand Hotel/Casino and later headed over to the Sapphire strip club.

[From NYDN]

“I didn’t want the generic pop record that Ke$ha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry would do. Every song was tailored to me.” Now… is this a simple case of Rihanna: Truth-teller? Katy does make generic pop music. Does Katy claim to make anything else? As for Gaga, I would put her as dance/pop, but that’s not the point. I guess the point is that Rihanna thinks she’s better than “generic pop” like her BFF Katy. Is she? Meh. Not in my opinion.
