Rihanna got an inspirational tatt

Trendsetter and pop princess Rihanna is now looking to herself for inspiration in the form of a tattoo. Rihanna visited East Side Ink in NYC Monday night to get a very special tatt to remind her of her personal motto. Now every time she looks in the mirror, she will see "Never a failure, always a lesson" tattooed in grey ink just below her right clavicle. She had the motto written in backwards script so she could read it as she primps.

Fantasia airs you haters out

Fanny recently sat down with Honeymag.com to address the rampant rumors on the blogosphere that she is a homewrecker:

Yes, [the rumors] were all really cute to me. I guess it was something about a guy from T-Mobile? Inaccurate. He was hot, but I think I’m looking for my own man. There’s no boo in my life, I’m married to my career. Right now I’m not really focused on a boyfriend; we all know what happens when you get them… I have no tattoo on my shoulder, [the rumor] was very well put together! I wear my body out more purposefully now and when I’m walking I see people checking, “Like does she have a tattoo there?” As a matter of fact, I’ve never even [met him] before. I think I’d want to be with a guy who’s in the same tax bracket as I am … or higher!

Here are some points some critics have raised:

1. the tatoo looks real and it definitely says "Cook"

2. some say the man was spotted sitting behind her at the Soul Train Awards

Now I have no idea why her date would be behind her and not beside her, so she may have a point there. Secondly, her remark about needing someone in her own tax bracket came off a bit...snobbishly. Let us not forget not too long ago Fanny was begging us to vote for her on national television. If she was dating this man, I hope she is not now. If she never was, let this be a warning to her and other women. You reap what you sow. It is never a good idea to go after a married man, let alone one with children in his household. Nothing good will come of that. *climbs down off soap box*

I wonder if Fantasia is in his "5"

Your girl Fantasia at the Soul Train Music awards and her jumpoff, married T-Mobile salesman Antwaun Cook sitting in the row behind her. Apparently they met in August, Twan left his wife and kids mid-September and Fanny had his name tattooed on her shoulder the following week. 'Twan has filed for divorce and is living in Charlotte, NC with Fantasia.

Here's a little message for Tameka

Forget Twitter. Now Usher is tatting messages to his soon-to-be-ex-missus. I hope Meke Meke has some money left over from the plastic surgery fund to pay the lawyers.
