Rihanna has reunited with Chris Brown, it was reported today.

Less than three weeks after she was allegedly assaulted by the R&B star, the Umbrella singer has been spending time with him in Miami.

A source said they were staying at one of Sean Combs’s homes on Miami Beach’s Star Island.

They added: “They’re together again. They care for each other.”

“While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

Brown was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Rihanna in the early hours of February 8.

Later reports suggested that she had agreed to dump him following discussions with her family.

Lily Allen has hinted that she may not record another studio album.

The singer said although she had made no concrete plans, the only ‘vague plan’ in her future was to settle down and have children.

Speaking to MTV, she said: “I’m a ‘live the day’ person. I have no idea what I’m doing tomorrow. I certainly don’t think about a week from now or a month from now.”

“As far as the future goes, there’s only a vague plan of getting married and having kids.”

“I couldn’t tell you if I’m going to make another record, because I don’t know if I’m going to enjoy this in six months’ time.”

Allen said she believes life is about settling down with a partner, but ruled out getting married in the near future.

She said: “I don’t know if I want to get married. I know I want to be falling in love, that’s the good shit there.”

“And I know people have been reading that about me a lot, lately, so I just want to say that I am not actively hunting for a husband. Much.”

Allen is currently promoting her second album in Australia. The singer will return to the UK next month for a sold out tour.

Kanye West has criticised Radiohead for supposedly snubbing him backstage at the Grammy Awards.

During the making of a new documentary, the rapper, singer and producer told filmmakers that he considers the Oxford band one of the groups who rival him creatively.

However, according to Reuters, he was hurt when the band ’snubbed’ him backstage.

West explained: “So when he performed at the Grammys, I sat the fuck down.”

His comments have reportedly been cut from the edition of VH1’s ‘Storytellers’.

The Grammy Awards, which took place on February 8 2009, saw Radiohead perform ‘In Rainbows” ‘15 Step’ with the University of Southern California Trojan Marching Band.

West teamed up with Estelle to perform her Number One single ‘American Boy’.

Former frontman Pete Doherty revealed at the NME Awards on Wednesday night (24.020.09), he and bandmate Carl Barat are to put the group back together.

Pete said: “I’ve written and recorded a solo album, there’s probably another one on the way. There’s an amazing Babyshambles record coming too and The Libertines is going to happen.”

Pete - who was kicked out of the British band in 2004 after Carl grew tired of his drug taking - insists Carl is as enthusiastic about the reunion as he is.

He added: “I didn’t twist Carl’s arm too far. He doesn’t take kindly to it.”

“He’s not harder than me but he’s got a nasty streak. Twist it too far and it’ll snap.”

However, excited fans may have to wait until next year to see the band - which also includes drummer Gary Powell and bassist John Hasall - get back together due to Pete’s commitments and Carl’s own solo plans.

Carl - who recently disbanded his band Dirty Pretty Things -said: “I always put Pete forward as a little guinea pig. Pete solo, that worked out, so I’ll do that next year. But I hate working alone. It’s boring and I struggle with it. I do miss the support of being in a band.”

The Libertines formed in 1997 and released two critically-acclaimed albums.

The band had a volatile history, centered around Pete and Carl’s love/hate relationship.

Pete, 29, recently revealed the band were offered huge sums of money to reform and headline festivals this year – but Carl, 30, refused because he feared Pete was “surrounded by darkness”.

Damon Albarn has confirmed that Blur will play this year’s Glastonbury.

Rumours have been circulating that the band would play the event since they reformed in December, but organisers have said they have yet to officially confirmed the slot.

However, speaking at the Shockwaves NME Awards afterparty at Dex in Brixton, Albarn confirmed the festival appearance. He also revealed that Blur were asked to play Glastonbury 2008, which was eventually headlined by Kings Of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve.

“Yeah, we’re doing Glasto this year,” Albarn told the Daily Mirror. “We were asked last year, but we turned them down.”

The singer also hinted that Blur will announce more gigs before the June festival.

He admitted: “We need a few more warm-up gigs to get back into it, ready for the big one. Glastonbury’s great.”

Albarn also revealed why he and Graham Coxon decided to play ‘This Is A Low’ at the Shockwaves NME Awards ceremony - their first performance onstage together in nine years.

“We didn’t want to play one of the big hits because we thought that would be too cheesy,” he said.

The Girls Aloud singer recently befriended the estranged wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and would love the chance to portray the former model on the big screen.

She said: “Jo is amazing. She’s my new favorite person. She’s had such an extraordinary life. It’s fascinating. Her stories are unbelievable. They’d make a wicked film.”

The 27-year-old blonde beauty and Jo, 53, have been spotted partying together since meeting at London Fashion Week and danced the night away at a trendy London nightclub on Tuesday (24.02.09).

She explained: “I was out with my boyfriend Tommy and we ended up partying with Jo Wood. She’s always in there with her friends – she is an amazing woman. Then we went back to our house and played Wii bowling. How rock ‘n’
roll can you get?”

Sarah also confessed she is considering permanently switching from music to acting and is thrilled with her latest acting role, in the upcoming BBC drama ‘Freefall’.

Speaking about the show, Sarah said: “I love acting. And I’m so proud of this one. Dominic Savage’s stuff is all about improvisation. It’s so different from what I normally do, which is so rehearsed and prepared. I could really express myself. I can’t wait until my next film and fancy something other-wordly.”

Does Britney have the most bizarre life ever? Just when we thought that the media circus that it Miss Spears’ life had finally settled down along comes tales of Sam Lufti’s (Britney’s former manager) stalkerish behaviour and Adnan Ghalib’s (Britney’s ex) assault with a deadly weapon charge.

Britney’s life really is a rollercoaster ride (more like a terror ride) of emotions with numerous gremlins jumping out from the shadows to exploit the one-time chirpy singer. From her attention-seeking mother to her overbearing father, manipulative ex-manager and sleezy ex (Adnan), it seems that Britney is forever trying to chew her foot free from it’s latest mangey trap. Just this week there were stories of how Britney’s father had refused the star (a grown woman of 27) to have a cellphone and apparently all hell broke loose when the ‘Womanizer’ star was given a cell through intermediaries. Seriously!

Maybe Britney’s comeback was too soon or maybe the same parasites who ruined her the first time around are determined to bleed her dry once again. I for one am still seriously concerned about this young lady’s wellbeing. She seem’s distant when performing, is reportedly purging again in an attempt to stay slim and even recently admitted that her life feels like a prison.

Britney needs some time-off, she needs to do some soul searching and rid herself of clingers on. Maybe then, once the freakshow circus has subsided, Britney will return to the truly happy and healthy young lady we all know and love!
