It’s like Deja Vu. Jay-Z’s bodyguard (not Julius this time) allegedly knocked a paparazzo to the ground yesterday afternoon in Hollywood. Here’s what supposedly went down:
Jay-Z was leaving Capitol City sports bar in Hollywood. As he exited, a paparazzi got too close to [Mr. Carter] and was allegedly violently pushed into a valet parking booth by a burly bodyguard. The videographer, who is believed to be named Rick and works for the X17 photo agency, suffered a nasty cut to the forehead.

Womp womp. When will these paps learn?
Word has it Rihanna turned down baller Braylon Edwards‘ advances the other night while partying in Hollywood:
Rihanna doesn’t take bubbly from strangers. While hanging out with a gaggle of assistants and singer James Blount at a party thrown by Vegas nightclub The Bank at Wonderland in LA, the songstress was sent a $10,000 bottle of Champagne by Jets receiver Braylon Edwards and a handful of his teammates, who were at a nearby table. But according to a partygoer, “She didn’t know who they were, so she sent it back.” Edwards’ rep says Braylon later introduced himself and all was well.

Funny.

Hah-Hah!!!!! Thanks for the chuckle this morning! :lol:
Mon, November 9, 2009 8:51 AM
Just because you are a ball player I’m suppose to know who you are… Chile boo LMBAO!!
Mon, November 9, 2009 8:53 AM
HAhahahahaha! That was funny. I bet that humbled him. :)
Mon, November 9, 2009 8:57 AM

ACCESS DENIED!
Mon, November 9, 2009 8:58 AM
Ha Ha Rihanna is gorgeous so i can’t blame him for trying. But maybe next time he should go introduce himself first. LMAO
Mon, November 9, 2009 8:58 AM
good for her but why the hell does champagne cost $10,000 SMH
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:01 AM
And that is why Rhi Rhi is the best. A woman of style and class. Good for you Rhi. Let them know how to respect a woman.

Mon, November 9, 2009 9:12 AM
Lol @ Rhianna turning down the bubbly because she didn’t know who ol’ boy was. That made my morning. That was CUTE.
But um, really, 10 G’s on something to wet your whiskers?! When will these men learn that LESS IS MORE. That’s why these ball players end up BROKE 5 years after retirement/leaving the game. I understand enjoying your money, but that’s just dumb. That’s a horse of a whole other color, though.
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:13 AM
$10,000? I am going to say that should be $1,000, which is still too much!! Ridamandiculous!!!
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:19 AM
My point exactly!! This makes me want a new post
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:21 AM
Style and class? she walks around the street wearing see through shirts with her breast hanging out, or has her g string showing or in a see threw dress, she has nude photos on line and used her beating to sell records. That is style and class to you? wow, such low standards
Style and class? she has nude pictures on the internet, walks around with her g string showing and is using her beating and domestic violence to sell records.. That is style in class? confused
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:21 AM

What gives paparazzi the right to think that they can get all up in peoples faces with a friggin camera? Damn. They should get knocked on the azzes. Keep a respectful distance. They got zoom lenses…. :)
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:30 AM
Rihanna has no time for men her focus right now is her career….
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:39 AM
hahaaa RiRi, and ain’t braylon the one that punched out Lebron friend? she don’t need to be talkin to him anyway, lol and I never feel sorry for pappaaarrraazzii ( in lady gaga voice lol) cause thats the risk they take gettin all up in people personal space, and I don’t think they should ever be awarded anything when they sue these celebs cause to me some of their tactics are harrassment if you close enough to me where you going to get run over, knocked down, punched, then you are too damn close
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:39 AM
Interesting…Braylon tweeted how it was funny that Rihanna’s people know him in NY but when they get to LA they act like they don’t know.
LOL @ Rihanna being a woman with style and class…I done heard it all.
Any man trying to get with Rihanna is setting himself up.
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:40 AM
Rih said send that sh*t back….I love it!
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:44 AM

@Laughing Out Loud,
So you think it’s ‘ONLY’ Ballplayers who’ll be bankrupt due to “questionable choices,” ‘eh? Well, the SECOND HIGHEST paid Athlete last year, was a Formula 1 Race Car driver Kimi Raikkonen.
He’s second ONLY to Tiger Woods. Mr. Raikkonen is about to loose his home as HE’ll be hard pressed to find a buyer, given Finland’s economy; his current financial situation is equally dire.
Should you NOT believe me, Google him, there’s a great Bloomberg article on him, and his current economic status.
Braylon Edwards was right, Rhianna has “selective memory,” she was with White, British James Blount, so, of course she’ll react in the way she did.
If I was Braylon Edwards, I’d have walked right up to her, in front of White, British James Blount and spit a huge gob of spit right up in her face!!!
Mon, November 9, 2009 11:12 AM
She sent if back because she’s in JayZ’s camp…ie, can’t fratenize w/ Braylen after the “issue” with the guy at the club!! REMEMBERrrrrr!!!!
Mon, November 9, 2009 11:29 AM
RIHANNA IS ONE FAB LOOKING CHICK INDEED. AND I KNOW U HATERS ALMOST CHOCKED TO DEATH GASPING FOR AIR WHEN YALL READ THIS STORY. NOW GO FEED UR LIL RUGRATS THAT U GOT RUNNING AROUND BY DIFFERENT BABY DADDIES! MAKING FUN OF HER FOREHEAD HUH? SHE GOT NIGGAS DROPPIN MAJOR STACKS! TO BE WHAT? DENIED! LUVSSS ITTT!
Mon, November 9, 2009 11:30 AM
@ X,Y,”and Z
Wow! Spitting in someone’s face b/c they won’t accept your advances! Either you’re an unattractive dude who has been rejected by many females and as a result have some rage issues or an ugly ass chick who never gets hit on b/c any female who’s used to getting hit on by many men knows that you can’t just giggle and coo at every advance. If you’re used to it, it’s not a big deal when a guy does make an advance and even easier to turn down a drink. GTFOH with that mess!
Mon, November 9, 2009 11:31 AM
Boy, has times changed…When a man sent a woman a bottle of something complimentary to our table, we just said thank you. If we wanted, we invited him over. Plus, I thought the article said that it was he and couple of his buddies who sent her the bottle. So, it was not just him alone. What was she thinking they want to do to her. Not knowing who sent it to her is no excuse. She could have asked if she had some class. IMO, her actions seemed quite arrogant. So much for wanting to be a “role model.”
I’m sorry, but some of todays young ladies’ idea of strong seems more immature than true strenght. No wonder today’s young men are even more confused than their predecessors. They want the young men to treat them like ladies and when they do, they reject them.
Mon, November 9, 2009 11:44 AM
this papparazzi thing is gettin out of control! it needs to become illegal
Mon, November 9, 2009 11:49 AM
thats right Rihanna!!
that is how a woman who got her own act!!!
you introduce yourself to me first before buying me drinks!! I don’t know you!!! right on girl
Only a hoodrat would have taken it with no hesitation, glad to know she got a lick of class
Mon, November 9, 2009 11:52 AM
yup!!
Mon, November 9, 2009 11:53 AM
@ Dirty Diana
I was just thinking the same thing. What would a single bottle of champange entail that would make it worth $10,000 ……. or is it just a status thing, whateva.
Mon, November 9, 2009 11:54 AM
please say it again!!!
Mon, November 9, 2009 12:16 PM

her head is way too big. Looking like an extra for the Predator movie. I wouldnt even buy that woman a 40 to drink, 10G’s not ever. Stories like this are confusing tho….Braylon AND HIS TEAMMATES so clearly he wasnt the only baller there at all…coulda been on of their ideas coulda been a team decision but its watever…better him than me…she only wears designer clothes…NY got better lookin chicks that Fivehead Ri Ri

Mon, November 9, 2009 2:53 PM
because nothing screams class like walking around half naked 90 precent of the time ,being linked to new guys every other day, and leaked naked pics of yourself yall are some riri stans on this site lol
Mon, November 9, 2009 2:59 PM
To those who said that “she didn’t know him.” YES, she DID, ALREADY know him! She knew him back from in NYC, so why the BS, and acting like you’re totally unfamiliar with him now?
She’s a real bitch, she wanted to show HIM up in front of, like I said, White, British James Blount!
Don’t believe me, go and look at Braylon Edward’s tweets, you’ll see for yourself!
Braylon Edwards and EVERYONE in HIS entourage should have gone over to Rhianna’s table and, in front of White, British James Blount each SPAT A GREAT BIG GOB OF SPIT/COLD IN HER FACE!
Maybe that’d have taught her some CLASS and RESPECT!
Mon, November 9, 2009 3:03 PM
Times have changed my dear. Back in the day GENTLEMEN were just that, GENTLEMEN! This is a dude that punched someone because he had ill feelings toward the victim’s friend; would you accept ANYTHING from such a person?
There was a level of arrogance from both parties I must say. I would say that in this ever evolving society of ours, that was actually a strong thing she did. SHe can afford it, let her get it herself…maybe the idea of a 10G bottle of ANYTHING was beyong her…wait…I take that one back.
There was a level of braggadocio from the team, if not, they may have decided to take a more humble approach, no matter the coast they were on.
Mon, November 9, 2009 3:47 PM
on a general note why do men always equate drinks to sex? i dont blame rihanna for sending them back men usually have a motive when they send u a $10000 bottle
Mon, November 9, 2009 3:53 PM
PLEASSSSSSSSSSSE I’VE NEVER BEEN A BIG FAN OF RIHANNA BUT AFTER 20/20! I WON’T EVEN LISTEN TO HER MUSIC SHE’S PHONY SHE’S FAKE THAT’S THE TYPE OF PEOPLE I HATE!!!!!!! LMAO BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT U SEE AND NOTHING YOU HEAR! PEOPLE GET REAL, HER CAMP IS DOING AND SAYING ANYTHING BEFORE HER ALBUM DROPS.
Mon, November 9, 2009 4:07 PM
umm to me it looks like rhi was the one that played herself. She should have kindly accepted the bottle told the waitress to say thank you to Braylon and his party for sending it over, and continued on with my party. She didn’t have to say anything to dude. Instead she made a fool out of herself acting like she didn’t know who he was when clearly she did. Instead this makes her look like a stuck up bitch.
Mon, November 9, 2009 4:22 PM
Mon, November 9, 2009 4:51 PM
Let’s face it…she is not the same Rhi Rhi from barbados that people came to love. You can hear it in the music she makes. Let her be. I’m quite sure she knew him though, that child gets around big time. She loves men with money and there is not a thing wrong with that. ;-)
Mon, November 9, 2009 4:56 PM
word up!
Mon, November 9, 2009 4:59 PM
you don’t accept a 10g bottle and then not say anything to dude. You’re a fool if you think that would have been correct
Mon, November 9, 2009 5:10 PM
like for real if she had accepted the bottle like that IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A GOOD LOOK. when guys buy u drinks at the club they expect u to dance and talk to them all night. and then they want ur number. shoot if i had her money i would have sent that bottle right back. i mean what kind of gesture is that to send a woman bottle? like hey look at me i have a lot of money. i woulda been like negro good for u but i have my own and kept it moving. good job rih!
Mon, November 9, 2009 5:56 PM
LOL, he stepped out of his league. Video girls is where he needs to be not R & B singers who hang around Billion dollar men..lol
Dumb Dumb! His career is a whopping 6years maybe, he thinks he can catch RHianna, think again!

@Jaydantv –>>
What makes YOU think, I, or anyone else, would need you to “shame us” into a “better allocation of our time Or concerns?”
I don’t need YOU to correct my broken English, advise me on my musical taste or recalibrate my moral compass!
Wasn’t it you who was at home sulking cause your white “corporate baller” dissed you? Sure it was!
Now, let me try to understand, wasn’t it Rhianna who was the one, who ONLY had $20,000 in her bank account, just the middle of last year? Upon learning that fact, wasn’t she absolutely livid and then cussed out and then fired her “financial adviser/Money Manager?” Sure it was!
And didn’t that SAME manager THEN go and put ALL of her businesses on full blast? Sure it was.
@Braylon Edwards, now you’ve seen the “REAL” Rhianna — get the word out: she’s fake and will try to bring you down JUST like she did Chris Brown! Braylon, she was with a white man, that makes a WORLD of difference, if you didn’t know, NOW you do: THAT’S how Rhianna gets down!
She’ll respect “a James Blount,” not ANY black man, especially not one darker than herself; check her past, you’ll see for yourself! She was the first to smack, hit and punch CBreezy, she’d NEVER think of doing that to “a James Blount!”
Mon, November 9, 2009 8:26 PM
what an isult! That Braylon guy obviously thinks she’s a ho enough to accept it and sleep with him? total disrespect. Even if i drank alcohol, i would’ve done what Rihanna did.
i think snapping pics of celebs should be illegal too.
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:15 PM
This story is complete BS. There is no bottle at that club that cost $10,000 unless they are really getting ripped off.
Seriously, these dudes really need to stop trickin
Mon, November 9, 2009 9:26 PM
UMMM I BEG TO DIFFER. HAVE U EVER HUNG OUT AT THOSE HIGH END SPOTS ON SOUTH BEACH? APPARENTLY NOT.
@x y AND z
u sound like ur about to have a damn heart attack. n no decent human being with proper upbringing would do such a classless thing as to spit in someone’s face. i wouldn’t even do it to my worst enemy. the fact that u would even think of such lowly behavior speaks volumes about ur character and ur low morale. i don’t think i would even spit in public….it’s soooo unlady like. there are books on etiquette and charms schools for uncivilized and unruly females like u. these ballers approached rihanna when she was minding her own business. but u would never be in that situation. no decent man with means would even think to approach u. and perhaps that’s where all ur anger stems from. life is too short for that bitterness. girl chill.

YOUR definition of “class and classless” seems to be placed as, per, YOUR bias; they are reports that Rhianna spat on Chris!!!!
A “lady,” with etiquette and chivalry in tow, would NEVER read a man’s cell phone text messages, especially if they’re broken up at the time, and THEN, as reported by TMZ in HER STATEMENT and NOT that Police report/Cell Phone Warrant, smash him in the face with said cell phone! A “lady” would have excused herself from any such argument and continued “civil discourse” at a latter time, WITH cooler heads prevailing!
But YOU, YOURSELF, also seemed to have a bout of hypertension upon reading and responding to my comment, you too should chill. It’s NOT THAT serious for you to take 1/2 hour out of your day to read and digest, yet and another 1/2 hour to type and hit ‘enter!’
So I do thank you for the response, but I can only highlight, the obvious ‘hypocrisy’, ‘malice’ and ‘idol worship’ from said YOUR counterpoint.
For future reference, one should NOT seek to give council if one is without firm footing and not, herself, beyond reproach; hence your council, rebuke or rebuttal are thus marked as gibberish and deleted!
Now, run along, seek solace, self-improve, THEN dare to make comment; class dismissed!
