Rihanna wants sex for Xmas
All Rihanna wants for Christmas is good food and a bit of naughty fun under the tree.
The Umbrella singer has had a tumultuous 12 months during which she was attacked by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, but she's hoping to end the year with a smile - she's asking Santa for a delicious homecooked meal and a bedroom romp.
When asked what's topping her wish list, Rihanna replied, "Some great food and some great sex. That's not too much to ask, right? The sex might be a little difficult but my mum is coming to cook me some food. She does spicy stew called pepper pot. It sounds strange but it's really, really good."
Rihanna admits she's never seen snow at Christmas - because she always returns to her native Barbados for the holidays: "We do the whole traditional tree thing, it's just not a white Christmas. I might be in Barbados (this year) but I'm thinking about spending it with my grandparents in New York."
Small, private funeral held for Brittany Murphy
LOS ANGELES – Brittany Murphy's family and friends celebrated her life at a private Christmas Eve funeral in Los Angeles.
Family spokesman Alex Ben Block says Murphy was buried Thursday at Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Block says the invitation-only gathering was "very nice, very respectful."
He says a Christian minister and a rabbi presided over the service, and guests sang "Amazing Grace" at the grave site.
The 32-year-old actress died after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home on Sunday.
Authorities continue to investigate the death but do not suspect foul play. An autopsy performed Monday was inconclusive, and the coroner's office is awaiting results of toxicology and tissue tests before determining an official cause of death.
