Rihanna's Eventful Loud Tour Rolls to New Jersey

Set for a three-night run of shows on the east coast, Rihanna departed her hotel in Manhattan to head off to a concert in New Jersey on Thursday evening (July 21).

The 23-year-old Barbadian beauty looked stunning in black as she hopped into her tour SUV en route to the Izod Center at the Meadowlands while she then heads off for a show at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut tomorrow night.

During her much-deserved day off on Wednesday, RiRi had an eventful day filled with happiness and sadness, both.

With a tragic beginning to her morning, the "What's My Name" singer posted a tribute photo and tweeted, "One of my biggest RihannaNavy fans died today in a car accident!!! Gone but never EVER forgotten!!!! She was only 17"

Fortunately cheering her up, Rihanna later wrote to her millions of followers, "I got to see my mom+grandma today!!! Amazing night!!!!"

Dog Chapman to Sheriff: I Was Covering YOUR Ass!

Filed under: Dog Chapman, Celebrity Justice

Dog Chapman is lashing back at claims he doused a fugitive in a dangerous amount of pepper spray -- telling us, he followed standard safety procedure ... and nabbed a DANGEROUS criminal in the process.

Mesa County Sheriff Stan Hilkey blasted the bounty hunter in a statement earlier today -- claiming Dog wantonly dumped the fugitive in his office, without properly decontaminating him first ... putting his staffers and several bystanders in danger.

But sources close to Dog tell TMZ, not only did Dog follow standard decontamination procedure -- hosing the guy down and changing his shirt before handing him over to cops -- he performed a CRUCIAL civil service ... and cops should be grateful.

We're told it took three whole days to track down the fugitive in question -- a dangerous ex-con -- who then allegedly tried to make one last run for it by jacking someone's car ... at which point Dog's team pepperballed him.

Sources close to Dog tell us, the bounty hunter was blindsided by the sheriff's comments -- because as far as he knew, the two parted on good terms.

Smurfette, and the gang of blue match wits with the evil sorcerer, Gargamel.

Now you get to see your beloved Smurfs in 3-D live-action, getting smurfy in New York
City. And don?t worry about this full-length feature giving the Smurfs of your youth a
bad name as similar films have done with other retro cartoons. Just take a look at the
star-studded cast beginning with Katy Perry in her film debut as the voice of Smurfette.

The ever-popular NPH (yep, Neil Patrick Harris) also stars as Patrick Winslow, who is
unexpectedly surprised by the tiny blue bunch after Gargamel, played by Hank Azaria,
scares them out of their magical village and into present-day New York City. And if you
listen carefully, you?ll recognize some of the voice talents including B.J. Novak, Fred
Armisen, Jonathan Winters, Kenan Thompson, and more.
