Wilds, who plays Dixon Wilson on the CW teen drama, was seen at a party at Rihanna’s house over the weekend in Los Angeles, according to the New York Daily News.

“No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party — it was very intimate. But everyone quickly realized they weren’t meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see,” a source told the New York Daily News.

“He’s a real gentleman,” the source added. “She likes him a lot, and it shows. From the moment he walked into her party, Rihanna lit up.”

Rihanna, 21, and Wilds, 20, were apparently introduced by a music producer who has worked with both of them, as Wilds is currently working on his own album, according to reports.

Rihanna has recently been in the news discussing her alleged beating by ex-boyfriend, singer Chris Brown.

Black Friday 2009 TV deals: Big Screen TVs for Miniature TV Prices at Black Friday 2009 Sales

Black Friday 2009 TV deals are hot.  Finding a TV this Black Friday probably won’t be that hard.  Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Sears are bound to offer attractive pricing on several HDTVs and Big Screen TVs as well.

Why are retailers so inclined to offer steep discounts on TVs? Offering the best deals on big ticket items will draw people in to their store.  The hope is that people will spend more money.  After all, if you buy an HDTV you need HDMI cables, a Blu-Ray player, a hanging kit, and maybe a few DVDs.  What was a $600 sale could easily end up being $800-$1,000  or more by the time you walk out the door.

Here are some Black Friday 2009 deals on TVs that have been leaked so far.  I will note that Walmart’s official ad has not been released.  The Walmart deals were retrieved from a Web site that stated that these were Black Friday 2009 deals at Walmart.com.  It could very well be that the prices on the Walmart TVs are early savings deals.  Although it’s hard to believe, Black Friday deals at Walmart may be even sweeter than mentioned below.

Miley Cyrus Dead? A Celebrity Rumor – or is Miley Cyrus Really Dead?

Miley Cyrus dead? Is Miley Cyrus really dead, or is this just another Internet rumor?  If Miley Cyrus is dead, her death would have to be tragic as she is young.  Miley Cyrus is Billy Ray Cyrus’s daughter and is best known as “Hannah Montanna”

Miley Cyrus is probably not really dead.  After all, the Internet is full of rumors, and celebrity deaths are among the favorites of gossip mills and entertainment news.  This won’t be the first time that she is the center of a rumor, as back in June it was announced that Miley was in a car accident and died.

The thing is, she didn’t die and I am so glad.  There’s nothing more tragic than the loss of life – particularly that of a very young individual.  If you are searching frantically looking for details on Miley Cyrus’s death, step back take a deep breath and relax.  If she really died, it would be on major media sites such as ABC, CBS, CNN, and high-profile celebrity sites such as TMZ, E!, and People.

Even though Miley is alive and well, there is one part of her that is dead: her Twitter account.  Back in October, Miley Cyrus abruptly deleted her Twitter account citing  a vague reason referencing her boyfriend.  Since then, her fans have wanted her to come back.

Now that you know that Miley Cyrus is NOT dead, there is some interesting gossip circulating the Internet.  Here are some other great current events

    Charla Nash, Chimpanzee Attack Victim Shows Face on Oprah

    Charla Nash, chimpanzee attack victim, showed her face.  Charla Nash’s chimpanzee encounter was horrific.  The Charla Nash chimpanzee attack was tragic, leaving a beautiful 55 year old woman without eyes, lips, a nose, and severe scarring.

    On the bright side, Charla Nash is still alive.  She’s able to walk, talk, and drink through a hole in her mouth that doctors made for her.  She was recently told she will never see again, but despite all the negativity around her – she remains very positive.

    The Charla Nash chimpanzee attack happened when Ms. Nash was trying to help the owner of a 200 pound chimpanzee lure the animal back into her home.  The chimp is very aggressive, and state biologists warned authorities that the animal could really hurt someone.

    Travis, the 200 pound chimp responsible for the attack, was killed by police.  Fortunately, Charla Nash is still alive.  She’s an inspiration for all those who are victims of tragedy. She doesn’t want to worry about the extent of her injuries, wants to get better, and prays every day for a face transplant victim.  If she gets a face transplant, she will also get to have a hand transplant as well.

    Pictures of Charla Nash after the chimpanzee attack are available on Oprah.com. They are very graphic, so those who do not like viewing graphic photos should not view these.

    Brooke Hundley Interview: A Big Brooke Hundley Interview on “Good Morning America” Gives Insight to Steve Phillips Affair

    The Brooke Hundley interview was today. The Brooke Hundley interview on “Good Morning America” was hot. Brooke Hundley’s interview gave insight about the Brooke Hundley/Steve Phillips affair scandal.

    Brooke Hundley had a fatal-attraction-like relationship with Steve Phillips, a former baseball analyst for ESPN.  Since the affair with Brooke Hundley surfaced and was made public, Steve Phillips has not only been fired, but he lost his wife as well.

    Prior to the Brooke Hundley interview, she was seen as a crazy lunatic.  After all, she delivered a hand-written letter to Steve Phillips’ wife containing personal information that would only be known if Brooke Hundley seen the man naked.  She stalked his teenage son on FaceBook, pretended to be a classmate, and obtained information about the family.

    However, the Brooke Hundley interview tried to portray Brooke as the victim, instead of the lunatic other woman. Brooke Hundey wanted to make people feel sorry for her. She talked about how she was close to killing herself in the aftermath of the affair going public.

    HELLLLOOOOO people…doesn’t Brooke Hundley’s interview admission that she thought about killing herself enough to prove that her mental condition wasn’t that great ?

    Nonetheless, Brooke Hundley is still a person.  Even though she’s made a mistake, she’s been the center of many inappropriate jokes.  The Brooke Hundley interview is a reminder that there is more to the story than we will ever know.

    Oprah Chimp Victim: A Bad Attack Chimp Victim Featured on Oprah

    Oprah chimp victim is popular. The Oprah chimp victim is the victim of a chimp attack. The Oprah chimp victim had her lips, eyelids, nose, and hands ripped off. The Oprah chimp victim took off her veil for the first time on the Oprah show yesterday.

    The amazing thing about the Oprah chimp victim is her determination to do well with her life.  She doesn’t want to know too much about her condition, as she doesn’t want to worry about her injuries.  The Oprah chimp victim just learned that she will probably never see again, as she lost both of her eyes.

    Charla Nash tried to help the chimp’s owner lure him back in to her home. The chimp was agressive and state biologists warned officials that the chimp was  aggressive and capable of really hurting someone.  Nothing was done and Charla’s life was forever changed.

    The chimp is no longer living, as police shot it on the day of the chimp attack. The Oprah chimp victim had to move to Ohio because of the extent of her injuries.  Her daughter, who is a senior in high school, is still in Connecticut with friends.

    The Oprah chimp victim is proof that you shouldn’t own an exotic animal. Exotic animals are best in controlled environments such as a zoo OR they are actually better left alone.
