Today we’ve got the latest dirt on Rihanna’s “big announcement” which isn’t really all that BIG, the GRAMMY nominations are revealed, and more!
Let’s get it started!
CRANK YANKERS 2012: British Style
The British hospital treating Kate Middleton admitted it was victimized by a crank call in which info on the Duchess aka Kate Middleton was given to a woman impersonating Queen Elizabeth.
An Australian radio station made a prank call in the early hours yesterday, impersonating the voices of the Queen to ask after Middleton’s health. Not only were the pranksters put through, they were told that Kate, who is being treated for morning sickness, “hasn’t had any retching with me and she’s been sleeping on and off.” The red-faced hospital is blasting the call as “a foolish prank call that we all deplore.”
This has to be one of the best pranks I’ve heard in some time!!

Rihanna’s “Big Announcement”? She’s Re-Releasing Her Reality Fashion Show
All day RiRi’s fans were curious as to what their Queen would announce as her “big announcement”. Most people suspected she was pregnant with Chris Brown’s baby. Others assumed she was engaged with Breezy!
Rihanna will star in a reality show competition that will challenge designers to make outfits for a handful of celebrities. Styled to Rock will premiere in the second half of 2013 and will feature 12 young designers handpicked by RiRi herself.
The competitors will be tasked with styling a celebrity guest on each episode, and the guest will help determine which designer moves on to the next round. Style Network has yet to announce which celebrities will guest host or the fashion experts who will serve as mentors to contestants.
One thing to keep in mind..Rihanna had already attempted this show in the UK, but it failed miserably. Ratings tanked! Why? This is a “been there, done that” type of reality show.
