Forde and Rihanna. (SPW/Splash News)Has Rihanna found love with a woman? "I'm on my first date in almost 2 yearz," the "Talk That Talk" singer tweeted on Thursday night — and then she showed up at Santa Monica, California, restaurant Giorgio Baldi hand-in-hand with a gal pal, Melissa Forde. After dinner, the ladies partied on at Hollywood nightclub Roxbury. Throughout the "date," Rihanna, who wore a long white flowy dress, kept her more than 17 million Twitter followers up to date on all the action with cryptic posts. In her first, along with a photo of herself and Forde cheek to cheek, she wrote, "My lover for the night." An hour later, she tweeted, "I'm not living right, if you're not by my side."

Lohan and a pal were also at Chateau Marmont Wednesday night. (Josephine Santos/PacificCoastNews)What's the excuse going to be this time? For the second time in two weeks, Lindsay Lohan has reportedly gotten into a fight — and at the same nightclub no less! TMZ reports that the sometimes-actress was partying with her once-estranged father Michael Lohan at Smoke and Mirrors inside The Standard Hotel in West Hollywood on Wednesday night when she got into a verbal altercation with a woman at the next table. According to the report, the woman made a snide remark about Lindsay being with her fame-seeking dad, prompting Lindsay to storm over to the table and scream, "Shut the f--k up!" The woman's response? She reportedly threw her drink at the 26-year-old star, soaking her with alcohol. And that's when Michael dragged Lindsay out of the club.Jewelers Roll Out Replicas of Angelina Jolie’s Engagement Ring

Jolie and her mega bling. (Splash News)Brad Pitt spent a year painstakingly designing the engagement ring he gave to Angelina Jolie when he proposed to her earlier this month, but now the average Joe can snap up a copy of the same exact ring for that special moment when he too decides to get down on one knee. Two jewelry companies have created replicas of the Oscar winner's $500,000 16-carat rock — at a fraction of the cost, of course.Watch Pippa Middleton Party Hours Before Gun Incident

(Indigo/Getty Images)Pippa Middleton is probably not so chipper now that police are investigating last Saturday's scary incident when one of her friends pointed what appeared to be a gun at a French photographer. But just hours before, the Duchess's younger sister was living it up at a lavish, yet raunchy Marie Antoinette-themed costume party in Paris — and video of the soiree has just hit the Web.George Clooney’s Ex Elisabetta Canalis Dumped by Steve-O, Then Hits the Beach

Paltrow too good to walk? (Dominique Charriau/WireImage)As if we needed another reason to dislike Gwyneth Paltrow. The haughty actress was apparently too good to walk four doors down the street from the building where she attended an event to the sit-down dinner that followed, so she had her chauffeur drive her the distance — which took a mere 10 seconds! After partying at her pal Stella McCartney's West Hollywood boutique on Friday to celebrate her father Sir Paul McCartney's directorial debut with his music video "My Valentine," the revelry continued on for a meal at Italian eatery Madeo. And while the rest of the guests, including her own husband, Chris Martin, Miranda Kerr, and 74-year-old Jane Fonda, walked the short distance, Paltrow refused. Instead, the supposedly environmentally friendly star opted for a ride in her gas guzzler.Sheree Whitfield Quits ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’

Whitfield (back row, second from right) is a Housewife no more. (Bravo)Now how will she able to afford to finish building Chateau Sheree? "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Sheree Whitfield has confirmed that she will be exiting the Bravo reality series after four seasons of drama. In a statement to Wetpaint, the single mom-of-three — who famously battled her ex-husband, NFL star Bob Whitfield, for child support last season — says that she decided to leave the program because it's "no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I'm tired of the fighting and the cattiness. I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck. I'm thrilled to say I'm now a free agent and am already fielding offers."Victoria Beckham Shuns Cake on Her 38th Birthday

The Beckhams all celebrated at lunch in Beverly Hills. (Campos/X17online.com)It's her birthday and she won't eat cake if she wants to. For the big 3-8 on Tuesday, super skinny Victoria Beckham did not allow herself a caloric indulgence of birthday cake — instead, she went with a healthy substitution. The Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer tweeted a photo of a fruit plate, complete with oranges, strawberries, blueberries, mango, and pineapple, with "Happy Birthday Victoria" spelled out in what appeared to be chocolate syrup along the outside of the dish. (We can only assume Beckham did not eat that part.)Ryan Gosling Dead? Not So Fast

Gosling lives. (Tom Meinelt-Jason Winslow/Splash)Ryan Gosling has pulled off yet another amazing feat: being in two places at one time … because he reportedly died in Austria on Tuesday, even though he's in Los Angeles today. The "Drive" actor is the latest victim of the celebrity death hoax, which has also claimed the lives of Usher, Justin Bieber, and Luke Perry. According to the Global Associated News, Gosling fell 50 feet to his death at 4:30 a.m. in a remote area of the Hahnenkamm Mountains, where the publication claims he had been filming a movie.Heidi Klum Reveals Michael Kors Rejected Her at Casting Call in the ’90s

Klum on the cover of Allure. (Norman Jean Roy/ALLURE)As Heidi Klum says on "Project Runway," when it comes to fashion, one day you're in and the next day you're out. And when the German supermodel was just starting out in the business at age 20, she was out — at least to Michael Kors. The two "Project Runway" personalities are best buds now, but Klum reveals that was not always the case in a new interview with Allure, for which she posed nude. "I never did fashion shows — not in Paris or Berlin or even in New York City … no one would book me," she tells the magazine. Klum, now 38, goes on to recall the time she went on a casting call for Kors. After the fashion designer saw her in one of his creations, he told her tersely, "Thanks, but no thanks."
