Rihanna's mentor has begged people to stop discussing the singer's private life. Producer Evan Rogers, who discovered the Barbados-born beauty, insists Rihanna - whose boyfriend Chris Brown has been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats after allegedly assaulting her - is confused by the conflicting advice she has been given.

He said: "I think that everyone has good intentions and means well, but it turns up the heat in terms of it seeming like the whole world is telling her what to do.

Rihanna and Chris Brown have reportedly split. The pair - who were believed to have reunited following Chris' alleged assault of the "Umbrella" singer last month - have decided to spend time apart to re-evaluate their turbulent relationship.

A source said: "Chris and Rihanna are on opposite coasts right now. They are taking a break."

Lil' Kim speaks to late rapper Notorious B.I.G in her dreams. The "Lighters Up" singer says her former mentor and secret lover - real name Christopher Wallace - is contacting her because he is unhappy about "Notorious," the recent biopic about his life.

Kim said: "I'm a very spiritual person and he's come to me many times in my dreams. Biggie was so much more than what they put him out to be in that movie. And to be honest with you, I know for a fact he's not happy. He's not satisfied at all."

Rihanna's family hope Chris Brown is jailed. Chris, 19, has been charged with two felonies - assault and making criminal threats - for his alleged attack on the "Umbrella" singer and her loved ones hope he receives the maximum sentence of four years and eight months in prison if found guilty.

One relative said: "It's about time. He should be in jail. He deserves whatever he gets."

Rihanna and Chris Brown have secretly married. Chris - who was arrested after allegedly attacking Rihanna last month - is believed to have proposed to the "Umbrella" singer during their emotional reunion at P. Diddy's Miami mansion last weekend.

A source said: "They had a tearful face-to-face meeting at Diddy's, during which an emotional Chris apologized, begged for forgiveness and proposed to her on the spot."

Rihanna's blood-soaked dress is among the evidence being investigated by police for their case against Chris Brown. The 21-year-old singer's $11,000 Gucci garment has been handed over to the Los Angeles District Attorney's office following Brown's alleged attack on Rihanna on February 8.

A source said: "The police took Rihanna's dress into evidence because it had bloodstains on it."
