The Top Chef experience has been a good one and everyone there has been genuine and wonderful. It was nice to return and working the Carla was a lovely experience. These are truly challenging tests and I am sorry that together we were unable to secure her victory. As I was once in the same position myself, I know how she feels and respect her performance. I know she will continue to shine.

Just after the airing, an acquaintance contacted me on facebook and, it turns out, was seeking to create some controversy. She did not represent herself as a reporter and did not ask for a quote. Instead, she took advantage of me.

I’m a fan of Carla’s and as disappointed as her fans are that she came up short. I’m more disappointed that my great experience with a fellow female chef of Carla’s talent would be damaged by such reckless and unprofessional reporting.

I feel hurt and compromised. The publication who is involved has always treated me well, but in this case– it should be embarrassed.

For the tl;dr crowd: She basically didn’t know that her whole rant was going to be posted for the whole world to see, and she doesn’t deny anything that was quoted.

U2 in surprise rooftop gig at BBC

Rock band U2 have played a surprise gig on top of BBC Broadcasting House to promote the launch of their 12th studio album No Line On The Horizon.

A crowd of around 5,000 watched the rooftop show in London on Friday, said BBC reporter Darryl Chamberlain. The Irish band had been special guests on BBC Radio 1 and rumours of the gig appeared on internet message boards.

The two new and two old songs in the 20-minute gig were Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Vertigo and Beautiful Day.

‘Great honour’

The performance was also broadcast live on DJ Chris Evans’ BBC Radio 2 show. The BBC’s Darryl Chamberlain, who was at the scene, said: “Some people tried to crowd on to traffic islands to see them… the crowd was screaming and cheering. “Others were spilling out of pubs and shops to see it, and looking out of windows. It was a good natured crowd and people really seemed to be enjoying it.”

Police closed Portland Place in Westminster to divert traffic away from the area, the BBC reporter added. The band all wrapped up against the cold, except The Edge who wore a short-sleeved lumberjack shirt and hat. U2’s impromptu gig echoed The Beatles’ 1969 rooftop performance at record label Apple’s London headquarters.

Earlier the band revealed they are preparing to tour later this year, and hope to offer tickets with cheaper, recession-busting prices. Frontman Bono told BBC Radio 1’s Jo Whiley they had “something very special planned” for early summer. He added that it was “a whole way of trying to do shows outdoors and make them very intimate”. In an interview on Radio 5 Live with Simon Mayo, Bono said that he had “gone off” Get On Your Boots a few weeks ago, but was now “back on it”. “It’s a small song, a tiny little song, a little shot of adrenalin,” he added. Another song from the album, Breathe, had its live debut at an intimate Radio 1 concert on Friday morning.

Bono told the audience: “This is a great honour. This is the first time we’ve played these songs to people, so we hope we don’t screw it up.” He said they were “trying” to work on some cheaper ticket prices, but added: “We’re also going to have some very expensive ticket prices because rich people have feelings too!”

Radio 1 also apologised on-air immediately after Bono used an expletive to describe Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin. The BBC said it had received no complaints about it.

UGH!

We kinda had a feeling this was going to happen, but we’re shocked to be reporting it so soon! Apparently Rihanna and Chris Brown have gotten back together, and the two are hiding out at Puff Daddy’s Sean Combs’ mansion on Star Island, near Miami, Florida.

Us Weekly reports that after allegedly beating Rihanna so badly she wound up in the hospital, Chris reached out to his estranged girlfriend in an attempt to win her back.

Oh, and get this - Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty has spoken to the mag, and he told them he supports his daughter’s decision to get back together with her douchey boyfriend!

Fenty says, “I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I’m behind her win or lose. I will be supportive. If that’s the road she wants to choose, I’m behind her. I hope to see her soon. I talked to her after her birthday, and she told me she’s OK.”

Does this change your opinion about Rihanna? We’re not sure what to think anymore…

…you’ll be very happy to know that we snapped her in St. Lucia today looking better than ever!

When we caught up with talented songstress earlier this afternoon, she was looking sunkissed, healthy and very eager to jump into the ocean for a snorkeling session. We don’t know what exactly she’s doing down there, but she should definitely keep it up! It looks like there’s hope for the Grammy winning singer, and we’re totally rooting for her!
Who will get their sh*t back together first…Amy or Britney?
