Rihanna is circling the drain according to reports she was borderline breakdown and tried to pull out of a gig in Dublin on Friday night. Feeling a touch under the weather thanks to her 101-date tour and non-stop partying the singer called up her pal Beyoncé for advice, who informed her little money maker — well, she is on husband Jay-Z‘s label — to strap on a smile and get out there. That, or just do her best and have a really long sleep after. “It’s a mix of exhaustion and stress,” said a source. “She’s been partying hard to take her mind off things, but there are days when she wakes up and doesn’t even know where she is because of the travelling. It’s no wonder she is feeling down.” [MTV]

There was a really popular girl at school and I was obsessed with her. I mean you would go to jail for that stuff today. I was in tears one day because I couldn’t sit next to her.” [People]
From the vials of blood to keeping her kid’s plasters in a jar, Angelina Jolie is helping keep tabloid writers employed by revealing that she once wanted to be a funeral director. “It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do but in fact I lost my grandfather and was very upset with his funeral,” she said. “How somebody passes and how family deals with this passing and what death is should be addressed in a different way. If this whole acting thing didn’t work out that was going to be my path.” Expect this one to be splashed across covers in Wednesday’s Midweek Madness. [Vulture]
