Rihanna, Good News and Bad News

Good news / bad news time for Rihanna.
First the good news.....

Last year the Barbadian sensation picked up her first Grammy, with Jay-Z for "Umbrella".
Now she is poised to add at least one more Grammy to her collection.
Her single "Disturbia" is up for Best Dance Recording and "If I Never See Your Face Again", her collaboration with Maroon 5 is up for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
Rihanna will also be performing Sunday night at the awards ceremony.

And now the bad news.....

Manu Dibango, a Cameroonian singer, sued Michael Jackson for stealing the line ?mama-say mama-sa ma-ma-coo-sa? from Manu's ?Soul Makossa?.
Jackson admitted to ?borrowing the line? and they settled out of court.
But Rihanna used the line in her song ?Don?t Stop the Music? after she got permission from Michael, not Manu.
So now Manu is suing her for more than $600,000.

Sarah Lancaster / Ellie Bartowski / Chuck

I did an entry on Sarah Lancaster on my Beautiful Women blog awhile back.
But since we are doing themes and we're on Chuck, I thought I'd do one here too.
Sarah Lancaster plays Dr. Eleanor Fay "Ellie" Bartowski, Chuck's sister, on the NBC TV show Chuck.
On the show she's engaged to "Captain Awesome", Dr. Devon Woodcomb.

The lady that plays her is Sarah Beth Lancaster.
She was born on February 12, 1980 in Overland Park, Kansas.
Sarah played Rachel in Saved by the Bell: The New Class, Madison Kellner on Everwood and Lisa the Gift-Shop Girl on NBC's Scrubs before Chuck.

I think if they ever do finally make a Wonder Woman movie, she would make a pretty good Diana.

Riya Sen News

Bollywood actress Riya Sen has raised a few eyebrows lately by saying that she needed to lose weight.
The normally size zero actress says shes gained a few pounds lately.

Despite that, Riya has been named the brand ambassador for the IPL (Indian Premier League) website.

Maybe that will help, because by all accounts, this lovely actresses' career is not going anywhere.
Which is surprising considering she comes from a celebrity family.
Her grandmother Suchitra Sen is one of the greatest Bengali actresses of Bengali films.
Her mother Moon Moon Sen was also an actress.
