Rihanna’s Beverly Hills Mansion Hit By Gunfire While She Was At Home. A 30-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after allegedly firing several shots with a rifle at the Beverly Hills mansion belonging to pop star Rihanna .

This occurred while the singer was allegedly inside her house.  Los Angeles police responded to the report of the shooting at 1:21 p.m. Sunday and quickly took the suspect into custody, a spokesperson told the California Post. One bullet reportedly pierced a wall of the home.

Photos from the scene showed yellow police tape outside the singer’s home. Los Angeles police officers were also seen closing off the street near the star’s property. It is not apparent if Rihanna’s partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, and their three kids were also in the house when the shots were fired.  

No injuries were reported in the incident. The LA Times also reported that the police dispatch for the incident noted “approximately 10 shots” being fired at the house, which came from a vehicle across the street from the residence. No other information, including motive for the shooting, is known at this time.

Are Lori Harvey and Damson Idris Back Together Again?  Lori Harvey and Damson Idris shared a passionate kiss while standing on a balcony in Paris. The “Snowfall” alum and the socialite appeared to be engaged in a deep conversation while standing on the balcony following a Paris Fashion Week event Friday, according to a video obtained by TMZ. Harvey, 29, then grabbed Idris, 34, by the back of his head and pulled him in to lock lips as bystanders watched from below. In November 2023, Steve Harvey’s adopted daughter and Idris split after one year of dating. “We are at a point in our lives where our individual paths require our full attention and dedication,” the couple shared in a joint statement at the time.“We part ways, remaining friends with nothing but love and respect for each other and the time we shared together,” they added.

The breakup, however, was short-lived as the pair was spotted together at a wedding in August 2025. The following month, photos emerged of Lori and Idris packing on the PDA during a romantic vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. They’ve been spotted several times together since then…this is just the latest sighting

Karen:  “I foolishly slept with an irresponsible, lying, cheating guy for three years without protection.  The fact that he gave me pelvic inflammatory disease on more than one occasion should have convinced me to leave him alone, but I went on to waste six more years of my life with him.  I finally ended that relationship only after I caught him with another woman.”    MORE

The Last Straw

It was his birthday and Barb listened quietly as Scott explained why he couldn’t come over.  She had painstakingly cooked a lovely meal in anticipation of his visit.  She had spent money she didn’t have on an elaborate meal, complete with very expensive champagne, a fully decorated birthday cake, and silver wine goblets.  She had gone so far as to even pay her out-of-work brother $50.00 to serve the meal.     MORE

What Social Signals

Do You Send?

by Theo McNee

On more than one occasion, I’ve had a woman flirt openly with me from across a room, and when I approached her, she acted as if she was clueless.  Recently, while watching a game at a sports bar one evening with a group of friends, a beautiful woman across the bar began staring at me so boldly and provocatively that it became disruptive to my concentration on the game.   MORE

Q.  A close friend has been dating a guy for six months who I’m extremely attracted to and it’s driving me crazy. I met him last month for the first time and it was an instant fire between us.  Our eyes lingered on each other the entire evening like a magnet. The next day I ran into him at the bank and he invited me for coffee.  I went out with him accompanied by all the guilty feelings in the world because I truly love my friend.  But this man is truly something and I don’t know what to do.  He’s asked to see me again and I find him irresistible.  My friend really thinks she’s in love and I cannot continue to listen to her talk of him and date him on the sly.  What should I do?  It’s been a long time since I felt like this about anybody.   MORE

You’ve Just Met …

To Date Or

Not To Date?

Survey Question:  After meeting someone who appears interesting, how do you test for the potential pursuit of a relationship?   MEN:  

• “I look for the ‘eagerness factor.’ If she’s too eager, she’ll want to hurry the relationship along at her pace.”
• “I start out in an inexpensive restaurant to see how comfortable she acts. The next time, I ask her to suggest an evening of what she likes to do.  If it’s moderately priced, I’ll know immediately that she’s either extremely sensitive to my pocket based on the previous example or very smart.  After that, she can write her own ticket.”   MORE
