Someone's ready to break some dishes!
Plenty of folks were shocked and surprised to see exes Rihanna and Chris Brown kiss on the lips and embrace inside the Staples Center at Thursday's MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles -- none more so than Brown's current girlfriend, Karrueche Tran.
A source tells Us that the aspiring model, 23, is "totally p*ssed off" with her beau of nearly a year after he congratulated Rihanna for her Video of the Year win with a very public show of affection.
"She felt the kiss was a public slap in the face," the source says, adding that Brown decided to attend the VMAs last minute, without letting Tran know. Earlier this year, multiple sources told Us Weekly that Brown, 23, and Rihanna, 24, have been secretly hooking up; the twosome split in February 2009 following his brutal assault of the "We Found Love" singer.
Rihanna recently opened up about her complicated feelings for Brown to Oprah Winfrey, calling him "the love of my life."
"[Karrueche] and Rihanna really hate one another and Chris ultimately just does what he wants," the source continues. "Seeing him with Rihanna at such a public event made her very angry."
Tran -- who has warred with Rihanna over Twitter -- posted a telling Instagram pic late Thursday. "Treat Your Girl Right," a graphic poster reads.
Should Tran just face the music and realize Brown and Rihanna are destined to get back together?

Paris Jackson has been in the news quite a bit recently. The 14-year old daughter of Michael Jackson was at the center of a very bizarre family squabble that saw her grandmother, Katherine Jackson, vanish from the home they share for 9 days recently amid rumors that certain family members were angling for some of the King of Pop's fortune.
Glamour had the chance to sit down recently with Paris for an interesting interview. Check out an excerpt from it below.
Some members of her family wish she'd wait to become an actress.
"A lot of people don't want me to do it [her aunt Janet Jackson has said, "She has the rest of her adult life to be that actress that she wants to be... Your childhood—you completely lose."], but Aunt La Toya believes in me. She heard me play a little guitar and sing, and she started clapping, 'Oh my God, oh my God.' She really does encourage me; it's just awesome of her."
She's determined to prove herself.
"I love my dad, and I'm proud to be his daughter. I just don't think the title 'M.J.'s daughter' fits me. A lot of people think he's the only reason I'm making it, but I want to show that I do have talent and that I can make it if I try. I want to be my own person."
She refuses to follow the crowd.
"The clique in my class, they don't like me or my friend because we're outside of the box. We're not copycats. Prince calls me goth, but I'm more rock 'n' roll. (I listen to older music like AC/DC; Phil Collins is the ish.) A ton of kids at school have made fun of me; if I had to give advice to other girls, I would say, 'Hang loose and ignore them. They shouldn't faze you no matter how popular they think they are.'"

Last night at the MTV Video Music Awards, Rihanna was seated close to Drake and Lil Wayne, maybe a little too close for comfort.
It wasn't that long ago that Chris Brown and Drake had a bottle throwing brawl in New York City. After confessing to the world recently that she is still in love with Brown, it would be understandable if the singer wasn't a Drake fan these days.
TMZ caught what they think are Riri's true feelings for the Young Money camp on camera.
When Wayne, Drizzy, Nicki Minaj and company went to the stage to accept the VMA for Best Hip Hop Video, Rihanna appears to turn towards a person sitting next to her and say, "I hate these a**holes."
TMZ also notes that Rihanna refused to clap and turned her head so she wouldn't have to look at Drake and company.
Check out the video below and tell us what you think.

Five friends died senselessly this past weekend after one of them got behind the wheel of a car they were all riding in and drove drunk and recklessly, all while tweeting about it.
21-year-old Jonathan Watson was driving his 2005 Nissan Sentra at a high rate of speed after leaving a party in Ontario, California on Saturday, September 2nd.
Watson's Twitter timeline detailed his state of mind at the time.
Not soon after sending his last tweet, Watson crashed.
“The driver of the vehicle was 21 years old and the other four occupants ranged in age from 20 to 23 years old,” Ontario police Cpl. Bill Russell told KNX1070’s Ed Mertz.
“We do know that the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed and did run a traffic signal just prior to colliding,” Russell said.
The car following the crash.
The car rolled over at least five times before smashing through a cement pillar and landing in the backyard of a home.
Witness Rowley Barre told CBS2's Jeff Nguyen that the Sentra “ran a red light. Then he swerved and crashed. The car is flipping over and they hit a brick wall.”

Killed were 23-year old Marquell Bogan, 23-year old JuJuan Bennett, 21-year-old Ervin McKinness, 20-year-old Dylan George and the driver Watson.

After the success of his strip club anthem "Rack City," Tyga has decided to take it one step further and will produce, direct and appear in his own adult film.
Rack City: The XXX Movie will star smut divas Jada Fire, Ice La Fox, Havana Ginger, Kristina Rose, London Keyes, Skin Diamond, Daisy Marie, Stacie Lane and Austin Taylor.
The movie picks up where the music video for "Make It Nasty" leaves off.
"I just felt like now was a time that I wanted to be involved in the sexual part of it—how far can I actually go without actually doing porn?" Tyga told Business AVN. "I think every guy thinks about that. Doing this project it was important for me to put something out with my vision. For young dudes like myself that are into it and to do it my own way without actually exposing myself. This movie really takes 'Rack City,' the song that I made, into the world of triple-X film. It's a real movie that people will enjoy, and I'm proud of it."
Tyga will have a non sex role in the film and is looking forward to opening his career up to a broader audience. He feels like he's taking what rappers like Lil Jon and Snoop Dogg have done in the past and going even further.
"I would just say to [critics] that sex is a universal thing," Tyga said. "I just kept thinking, well, why not do this movie? I feel like there's nobody young that's been able to—like you said, Snoop Dogg and Lil Jon were the only ones that did it, and they're a little older than me, and they were really only hosting it. This is really me, this is really my vision. This isn't something someone handed to me and I'm just hosting and putting my name on. I'm really producing and doing the whole film. A lot of people are gonna be interested in it and of course girls are gonna want to see it. They might think I'm in it [having sex], they want to see me in it, so it's going to really catch a lot of eyes. I think it's also going to draw a whole other fan base that isn't familiar with me too."
Rack City: The XXX Movie hits shelves this month through distributor Hush Hush Entertainment.
Tyga has also launched the website RackCityXXX.com with adult performer and Rack City XXX co-director Justice Young.

Kendrick Lamar has become one of the hottest names in the music industry, but he's not an overnight sensation. It's taken years of hard work and dedication to get the 25-year old Compton rapper to where he is today.
On October 22nd, the Dr. Dre protege will be releasing his highly anticipated album good kid, m.A.A.d City.
In a new interview with VEVO LIFT he explains how 50 Cent influenced his career.
"Mixtapes for me is really the start of my career," Kendrick tells VEVO. "This goes all the way back to when I was 16, and I was in my homeboy Dave garage. We was looking at what 50 Cent was doing, you know and we was seeing that no money was behind these tapes and they was just getting buzz where they was from. Not only in New York, but it came out all the way to the West Coast. And we wanted to follow that recipe. 'Let's do it too. Let's put 12 tracks on a cd and burn 'em up and pass 'em in the city and see what it do.' It wasn't on no super big scale, but it was the start and it got people to start talking about my name a little bit."

Fans have been waiting and hoping for the release of a Black Hippy album. A project featuring the foursome of Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock and Ab-Soulsounds like a great idea right? Well, not if you ask the group members.
Page 31TVcaught up to Ab, Jay and Schoolboy and they all agreed there will not be a Black Hippy album.
"Why n*ggas want a Black Hippy album? It's so corny," Schoolboy said. "What you want the hardest n*ggas to do an album? Why we can't just do our own sh*t? It'll never come out right. When the hardest n*ggas always get together it never comes out right. That's how I feel."
They also talk about Kendrick's comments about not voting, group cyphers, favorite TDE moments and being proud of Kendrick and his upcoming album good kid, m.A.A.d city.
