Rihanna Says She's Off S*x And Done With Partying

Bad girl RiRi has had enough!!!

In a recently televised interview with British personality Alan Carr, Rihanna told the Chatty Man she turned into a "square." She said she's over her partying ways!

The sultry starlet revealed:

“Recently I’ve become a square. I hate partying. I don’t know if it’s my heels – I don’t like standing up in my heels for hours. I don’t know if it’s that, but I’ve been so bored of it…. I am such a bootleg rock star, I do nothing, literally. I’m embarrassed to say that actually. That’s so disgusting. That’s f****** pathetic."

Rihanna added:

“I tell you, I’m a bit of a square recently. Don’t feel bad for me, I’m good.”

According to another report on the interview, the S&M singer also says she hasn't had much sex lately either!

Lionel Messi And His Father In Court

Barcelona star Lionel Messi and his father are to appear in court today Friday, over allegations of tax fraud.

The four-time World Player of the Year and his father, Jorge Messi, are accused of evading 4.2m euros (£3.4m) in tax on his image rights.

They are suspected of setting up companies in Uruguay and Belize to avoid paying tax in Spain.

Both men deny the allegations, which date back to between 2007 and 2009, saying the deals were done by Messi's former agent without their knowledge.

Messi and his father will be questioned in a closed session in a court in Gava, the Barcelona neighbourhood in which the footballer has a home.

Friday's hearing will determine whether or not the court will pursue them for the alleged evasion.

The pair have already paid back 5m euros (£4.2m) to the Spanish state but with the government cracking down on tax fraud amid a national financial crisis, this has not prevented the prosecution.

Messi and his father had earlier said: "We have always fulfilled our tax obligations following the advice of our tax consultants who will take care of clarifying this situation."

I want 'Twerk Queen' Miley Cyrus to walk me to the ring - FloydMayweather

Undefeated American professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jnr has disclosed that he has plans of letting 'Twerk Queen' Miley Cyrus walk him to the ring in his future bout.

The boxer who recently beat Mexican boxer Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in Las Vegas said he always wants the best beside him before every fight and believes that the Wrecking Ball hit singer fits the bill as an escourt.

Before his fight with Saul, Floyd had music stars Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber walk him to the ring - 'Ring Walk'. Other celebrities, including 50 Cent, have also done same over the years.

Speaking in an interview with Billboard from the backstage of the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vagas, the boxer, who has eight titles to his credit, said he has been considering having Miley Cyrus walk with him.

"I was thinking about letting the 'Twerk Queen' Miley Cyrus bring me out why not?" Floyd Mayweather noted.

Miley Cyrus has been in the news in the past few months for the wrong reasons and is reported to have become one of the most searched celebrities on the internet after her vulgar Blurred Lines MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) performance with Robin Thicke in August 2013. 

In her provocative latex underwear, the 21-year-old sing 'twerked' on the Robin, 36. That act sent social media buzzing with comments.

Her latest music video, Wrecking Ball, which saw her go completely nude, nabbed a new world record after receiving over 19 million views on Vevo/Youtube after 24 hours of its release.

Floyd Mayweather explained that, "Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber walked with me for my 'Ring Walk' for this fight. 50 Cent walked me out in the past and the list goes on and on but when you are the best, you only want to deal with the best."

The five-division world champion disclosed that he was at the event to see Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake Drake, and Bruno Mars perform but was of the view that, "Miley Cyrus is very entertaining."

Bill Gates Apologizes for Ctrl-Alt-Del Design, Blames IBM

Bill Gates said that a convoluted login screen was a big design flaw for Windows, but he's not taking credit for it.

The Microsoft co-founder revealed in a speech at a Harvard University fundraiser that forcing users to use the control-alt-delete key combination to log into their PCs was a mistake — one made by IBM, the designers of the reboot combination. Gates went on to explain that the multiple-key command — often called the three-finger salute — was created by David Bradley, an engineer who worked on the original IBM design.

Gates said the original thought behind the design was a security measure to prevent outside applications from faking the login prompt and stealing passwords.

The command is still a possible requirement in Windows 8, used to lock the PC or access its task manager.

PHOTO: Sofia Vergara Hotter in Kmart or Vera Wang

Sofia Vergara has been red hot this week

The "Modern Family" actress was gorgeous in a scarlet gown at the 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, and then again on Wednesday as she appeared in a fiery red-and-black frock on "Live With Kelly and Michael."

While both garments showed off Vergara's fabulous physique, they had a few differences. There's the length of the dresses, the varying neckline, and, the biggest difference of all: the price tag.

Vergara wore a custom Vera Wang gown on the red carpet, which we can assume costs more than most people's entire wardrobes. (After all, in March, Wang came under fire for charging customers at her Shanghai store the rough equivalent of $500 just to try on her signature wedding dresses.) The star then draped herself in $7 million worth of jewels by Lorraine Schwartz.

Days later, Vergara stunned once more in a body-conscious, illusion dress from her own clothing line for Kmart that retails for just $32.99. Quite the drop in price, but we think she looks just as lovely!

Which frock is your favorite? Let us know in the comments.

It's been reported thatLindsay Lohan was a total train wreck when she first began working with Oprah Winfrey on their docu-series for OWN.

Sources say Lindz often times would be a no-show for scheduled shoots with Ms. O and would make wild, last minute excuses for why she couldn't be there.

Whyyyyyy are we not surprised…

Oprah does NOT stand for that sort of behavior though!

We hear O drove out to Long Island ASAP and confronted Lindsay face-to-face at Dina Lohan's house! She gave Lindz the ultimate ultimatum: clean up your act or lose the $2 million deal!

Woah! Don't you DARE mess with Oprah!

Lohan must have gotten the message loud and clear though, because insiders say she has been a pro for the past month, showing up on time and cooperating.

But Winfrey is still watching her every move! One screw up and LiLo could be SOL!

Be a good girl, Lindz!!!
