Friday Facts

There's a lesson to be learned for being an artist who shows up an hour and a half late for a concert. Singer Rihanna took the stage a hour and a half late recently. She was scheduled to perform at 8, but didn't make it until 9:30. Once onstage, the singer was greeted with boos from the crowd. She received a different crowd response on last night's "The X Factor", where she was a guest star. The singer turned in a magnificent performance.  It looks like the album rapper Rick Ross has been tweeting about won't be released when first thought. "God Forgives, But I Don't" was scheduled to hit stores in December, but may not be released until January or February of next year. Rapper/actress Queen Latifah looks to add mother to her list of accomplishments. She says she'd like to adopt a child soon. In addition, she has a talk show in the works along with a movie, "Joyful Noise", with Dolly Parton. No doubt, the talk show and movie will be must see items for fans. Another Hollywood couple bits the dust. Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are divorcing. Rumors regarding infidelity have plagued the two for some time now, and it looks like things have finally come to a head with divorce proceedings. At any rate, best wishes to both. Beyonce and Jay Z's wedding was one of the most well-guarded secrets in show business, no doubt. Now, with the release of the video for her latest single "I Was Here", Beyonce is giving fans an opportunity to see her wedding dress as well as her meeting Oprah Winfrey, her performing around the world, joining hubby Jay Z on stage, revealing her baby bump on the MTV Video Music Awards and other events in her life. The video is worth checking out. Despite dispelling rumors that the Blackeyed Peas are splitting up, group member Will.I.am is reportedly working on a solo album. No word on a release date as of yet. It's the end of a television era.
