 Antonio L.A. Reid has found himself in hot water after being accused of mishandling many of his label’s biggest projects during the last year. The Island Def Jam CEO has reportedly been facing pressure from Lucian Grainge, the new Universal Music Group CEO, following his rampant spending and the incredibly low sales of Mariah Carey and Rihanna’s recent releases. Moreover, Reid’s recent efforts to sign Jennifer Lopez (who has not had a hit record in years) have made him the target of serious media criticism. Reid was scheduled to answer questions from fellow industry moguls regarding the issue at the Billboard 2010 Music & Money Symposium at the St. Regis last week but failed to make an appearance after one of his sons mysteriously fell ill. To date, Carey’s ‘Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel’ has sold just short of 500k units since it’s release in September while Rihanna’s ‘Rated R’ has only shipped 2.5 worldwide compared to the 2.6 million that her ‘Good Girl Gone Bade’ album sold in the US alone. Dear Mariah and Rihanna: Get out now! Do not pass ‘go’. Do not collect $200. Just get the heck out of Dodge! source
 Rihanna is still in contact with ex-boyfriend Chis Brown, it has been claimed. The Rude Boy singer — who was left battered and bruised following a 2009 altercation with Brown — is trying to stay friendly with the Run It hitmaker so she can “truly heal”. “Ri feels like she won’t truly heal,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer. “Rihanna still talks to Chris. There’s some kind of need there, still.” The source adds that Rihanna’s current squeeze, Los Angeles Dodgers star Matt Kemp, isn’t happy that the star is talking to her violent former flame. “Matt has a temper,” said the insider. “He knows people who are friends with Chris, and they’ve told him that if he ever sees Rihanna on the street, he’d better run the other way.” It was recently reported that Rihanna flew to Arizona to meet Kemp’s family this past weekend. source
Sneaky sneaky!! Antonio "L.A." Reid, the CEO of Island Def Jams, bailed on appearance to speak at the Billboard 2010 Music & Money Symposium, claiming his son was in the hospital and need surgery!! However, sources are now claiming this 'medical emergency' may have been bull, and that because of the disappointing sales from Rihanna and Mariah Carey's latest albums, L.A. is feeling the pressure and may be on his way out! A source said:
However, Reid is insisting this is not the case, and a friend says:
So either way it seems that the ill son story was false, which we think is a horrible rumor to perpetuate!! Whoever started it - shame on you!! What do U think?? Is L.A. Reid trying to bow out after his last few flops?? [Image via WENN.]
 Things must be getting serious. Rihanna traveled to Arizona to meet boyfriend Matt Kemp's family this weekend, but this was no ordinary trip. The singer flew in all the way from Berlin on Saturday just so she could attend Kemp's charity bash, Ante Up for Autism. The L.A. Dodgers outfielder is very close to the cause as his brother is autistic. She had performed at the Echo Awards in Berlin on Thursday but then hopped on a plane shortly after. "Matt was happy she came," says an inside source on Rihanna making it to the event. "It was an awesome show of support." Besides the other pro baseballers in the house Saturday evening, Kemp's family also attended, and they met Rihanna for the first time. "Rihanna fit right in as if they all knew each other. It was comfortable." The fundraising gala kicked off with Vegas-style gaming and cocktails, a live and a silent auction, followed by dinner and dancing. The second-annual event raised $170,000 with only 150 people in attendance. Rihanna's next scheduled performance is in L.A. at the Kid's Choice Awards on March 27. source
 Rihanna has done it again! She’s constantly taking the fashion world by storm, and now she may even be out-styling Lady Gaga — at least according to R&B performer Ne-Yo. “I like Rihanna’s fashion sense the most,” he told HollywoodLife.com exclusively March 1 at Cosmopolitan’s ”Fun Fearless Male Awards” at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York. “Lady Gaga is definitely the most adventurous, we can say that,” Ne-Yo continued. “That’s a really, really hard decision.”  Who would you invite to an all-girl sleepover? Oh, my God, my fantasy would be Rihanna! We recently started being friends, and I think she is really cool. I would want Shakira to come because she is so hot. I would also invite Sarah Palin, and I would put her hand in hot water to piss herself. 1, 2
Rihanna cracks up as she grabs a flight home to Los Angeles from London’s Heathrow airport on Saturday (March 6).

On Thursday evening, RiRi rocked the house at Berlin’s Echo Awards - peep her robo-chic performance here if you missed it!
 Rihanna's incredible physique is the subject of a nasty legal battle -- and it's all because the singer allegedly didn't pay her personal trainer for a few days worth of work. The trainer -- Cindy Percival -- filed the lawsuit against Rihanna in L.A County Superior Court last week, claiming the singer owes her $26,144.14 in unpaid wages from 2009. In the lawsuit, Cindy claims she was hired to perform "exclusive personal training services" for Rihanna for $1,500 per day -- but never got a check for a couple of weeks of work between September and October. Cindy is also asking for $2,644.14 in travel expenses -- because she claims she had to travel all over Europe to meet up with Rihanna ... to make her bend, stretch, pump and sweat in person ... which really should be payment enough. No comment from Rihanna's people. tmz
