Drake after he split with Rihanna a few
weeks ago, according to a gossip
magazine.
A source told Ok! magazine that
Rihanna "really broke his heart. Nicki
wants to call Rihanna out on it. She's
very protective of Drake."
"Drake has been pretty down since
Rihanna dumped him," the alleged
insider continued.
And the source said, "Nicki thinks
Rihanna needs to step down from her
pedestal."
For her part, Rihanna has been
continously tweeting during the World
Cup.
"Great job #USA I'm proud of you
boys! You put your heart in it!!!" she
wrote after the USA lost to Belgium on
Tuesday. "What a match," she said.
Rihanna was apparently rooting for the
Belgian squad. "I need a goal in the
first half , thank you Belgium!!!!" she
tweeted, but added: "Even though I
love me some Jurgen Klinsmann."
The Barbados-born singer also has
been a supporter of Colombia's James
Rodriguez, who has scored the most
goals during the tournament.
"Rodriguez!!! He's just a baby!" she
said, adding: "Colombiaaaa."
AP update: Getting Chris Brown
to DC trial cost more than $4K
WASHINGTON (AP) — He didn't fly
first class and his hotels weren't five-
star. Still, when singer Chris Brown was
moved from a Los Angeles jail to
Washington for what was to have been
the start of his trial on an assault
charge, the cost to taxpayers was more
than $4,000.
The breakdown of the April trip was
provided to The Associated Press as a
result of a Freedom of Information Act
request. The tab includes jail stays,
airfare and other transportation costs.
The U.S. Marshals Service, which
transported Brown, said in a statement
Tuesday that it uses the "safest and
most cost-effective means to transport"
inmates.
Brown is scheduled to be in a
Washington courtroom Wednesday.
This time, he's out of jail, so he'll be
paying his own way.
Asked in April about transporting
Brown across country, one of Brown's
lawyers, Mark Geragos, called the case
possibly "the single most investigated,
prosecuted and expensive
misdemeanor prosecution in
jurisprudence."
Prosecutors wanted Brown in
Washington to face trial on a charge of
hitting a man outside the W hotel in
October 2013. At the time, Brown was
still on probation in California for a
2009 attack on the singer Rihanna, his
then girlfriend.
When his trial was set to start in
Washington, Brown was in a Los
Angeles jail after being kicked out of a
court-ordered rehab facility.
Records show Brown's trip began April
1 when he was moved to a jail in San
Bernardino County, about an hour east
of Los Angeles. He spent two days there
before being driven to catch a plane.
The cost of transportation and lodging
was about $1,000, records show.
