BFFs Jay-Z and Alex Rodriguez spent the entire day together yesterday. They kicked things off at the Yankees’ parade, then went to an early dinner at Jay and B’s fave spot Nello’s, and kicked it courtside at the Knicks vs. Cavs game.

Then wrapped up the night at a celebration party at the 40/40 club with Chris Rock and others. Fun times with the fellas.

Meanwhile, Rihanna’s been out and about a lot this past week in L.A.. She was spotted rocking some killer booties while out with her publicist and friends yesterday.  By the way, check out her topless single cover for “Wait Your Turn”:

Interesting.

And here’s the trailer to Lil Wayne’s new documentary “The Carter”.  This is going to be a doozy…

Here’s another 5 minute sneak peek of Rihanna’s interview on “20/20″ tonight.

Basically she talks about that night in question–catching Chris in a lie after finding a text message, things “getting ugly” when she wouldn’t stop questioning him, and how he had a soul-less look in his eyes while he beat her:

“It wasn’t the same person that says I love you. It was not those… eyes,” she told Sawyer in an exclusive interview. “He had … no soul in his eyes. Just blank. …He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him.”

“All I kept thinking all the time: When is it going to stop? When it is going to stop?” she said.

She also goes on to say she does not hate him and wishes him well. Click here to read more transcript from the full interview we can’t see here.

So there is a 14-page French Vogue spread featuring model Lara Stone in blackface/black body coming out. It’s sending lots of folks into an uproar.

Some folks say this was a cheap gimmick with an empty purpose. Others say it’s an interpretation of high fashion. But what are your thoughts?

In other news, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” are clamoring around trying to get artist credentials. Why? So they can get a cut of the big bucks Bravo is about to ring in off their syndicated episodes of the show on their sister networks. The issue is: EVERY housewife signed a contract stating they would not be paid as an actor due to the “reality show” nature of the program. But y’all know that’s not stopping these Atlanta Housewives. Here’s what one of them allegedly said about it:

“This is some bull shit, we’ve been fighting their as* for the longest to keep the show from going to syndication without us making a dime … Damn, we not getting a dime and they making all the money… WOW … They can play the show forever and we will never get a check that aint right.”

Probably should have negotiated that before signing that contract all quick because you’re extra excited about being a “star”. Speaking of these chicks, the previews for tonight’s show are under the cut…
