Rihanna And Chris Brown Romance Still A Mystery

Rihanna and Chris Brown are still keeping fans guessing about the state of their relationship after coming up with different answers to the dating question at the BET Awards on Tuesday [24Jun08].
Just a day after Brown’s mother cooed about the Umbrella singer at a pre-awards gift lounge event, the sexy Barbados-born star was still insisting she’s single.
Speaking on the red carpet at the BET Awards, Rihanna said, “We aren’t dating; we’re very good friends.”
But when Brown was asked if he and Rihanna were an item backstage, he playfully said, “Possibly, possibly!”
And his mum hopes the two really are dating – she was overheard telling a friend, “she’s the sexiest and sweetest girl Chris has ever dated”.
The couple has become inseparable in recent weeks and rumours of a romance were sparked when the pair was spotted kissing and cuddling in a fast food restaurant last month [May08].

Mugabe Sworn In As Zimbabwe Faces Sanctions From Bush

President George W. Bush called Saturday for an international arms embargo against Zimbabwe in the wake of last week’s “sham election,” and announced that the United States is drafting new economic sanctions that, for the first time, would take aim at the entire government of President Robert Mugabe.

Robert Mugabe, who recently declared that “only God” could remove him from power, have now given himself another – sixth – term in office winning by 85.51% of the total vote cast. Morgan Tsvangirai trailed behind with 9.3 percent of the total vote.

Tsvangirai, who had been expected to pit against ruling Zanu PF candidate and incumbent President Mugabe in the run-off election, withdrew last Sunday, citing various reasons, including increasing political violence and intimidation against the opposition MDC-T.

At his inauguration in Harare on Sunday, the hero of Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle, knows he is facing growing international opprobrium, stricter sanctions, and even calls for armed peacekeepers to be sent to Zimbabwe.

“I think,” said Archbishop Desmond Tutu, “that a very good argument can be made for having an international force to restore peace.”

The call for an international arms embargo, which Bush coupled with a proposed ban on travel by officials of the Mugabe government, is unlikely to be successful. American officials said it would almost certainly run into opposition at the United Nations from South Africa, Russia and China; South Africa’s position has long been that the Zimbabwe election is an internal affair.
