WELL, IT'S PHOTOGENICALY OFFICIAL: CHRIS BROWN & RIHANNA ARE INDEED MUSIC'S NEW CELEB COUPLE.

Talk about a candid shot! Rihanna and Chris couldn't have known that there was a paparazzi member lurking in the background lensing what looked to be an intimate moment between them. This is the first photo of the latest-talked-about celebrity couple as they vacayed during a romantic weekend in Jamaica. If anyone had any doubts about whether or not these two are indeed dating then chances are, once they take a glimpse of this photos, those doubts will cease. According to Page Six source, the Grammy winner, who was thrown a big birthday bash by Chris for her 20th birthday last week, was all over her younger man. "They were smooching in the pool and were really lovely dovey," the PageSix.com spy told us exclusively. "They were playfully making out and he was kissing her on the neck."

The attractive pair, who got matching star tattoos on their necks in January, got in the pool after a leisurely lunch yesterday at the Hilton Kingston Hotel in Jamaica. They were hanging out with friends and at about 3 p.m., Chris, 18, jumped into the water and waited while Rihanna went to her room and changed into a bikini. She came back and was very scared of getting her hair wet, said the spy. "They were floating together with him carrying her and she kept saying, 'Don't get my hair wet.' She was very soft and feminine but he was a big kid and splashing around." The couple arrived in Jamaica together on Friday from Rihanna's native Barbados for the Smile Jamaica Africa Unite Bob Marley celebration in St. Mary, where she performed.

Bless their hearts...as well as the broken hearts of Chris' teenage groupies, fanatics and cougars. LOL! Oh, yeah. It's definitely official. The last time I saw a celeb couple appear to be this much in love, who also happened to be around the same age as Rihanna & Chris' age, was when Britney Spears and Justine Timberlake were dating. Let's hope to God they don't have the same tragic ending as those former Mickey Mouse club members.

MICHAEL GIVEN CHOICE TO PAY HOME LOAN OR LOSE HIS NEVERLAND RANCH.

Will Michael Jackson have to depend on his baby sister, Janet, to shell out over $24 million in order to save his Neverland Ranch? The way things are looking for the first family of music, she seems to be the only Jackson left with hundreds of millions of dollars in her bank account. Anywhoo, on Monday, Jackson was informed that his Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara will be sold at public auction on March 19 unless he can come up with $24,525,906.61 to pay off the loan. "It's not just the house either," wrote Fox411's Roger Friedman in his Tuesday column. "When Neverland is auctioned, it will include everything: all personal property inside, all fixtures and appliances, furniture, and 'all merry go round type devices,' any rides, games. The auction literally includes every single thing that is or isn't nailed down."

According to Friedman, the King of Pop refinanced his $300 million loan from Fortress Investments with help from Sony Music, HSBC and Barclays Bank. But, the Neverland loan was not part of that deal. "Fortress would clearly like to get out of the Jackson business altogether now, so selling at auction is their answer," Friedman wrote.

TRACEY ON JOHHNY'S COMMENTS ON DOUG BANKS' SHOW: ' HIS LIES WERE CLEARLY A DESPERATE & PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO CLEAN UP HIS REPUTATION AT MY EXPENSE.

Aww sookie-sookie, now! Looks like Johnny Gill as earned his way to the top of Tracey Edmonds' sh!t/hate list after making what she says are false statements about what really went down at her and Eddie's 'spiritual' wedding. Edmonds called radio host Doug Banks Monday morning to address his recent telephone interview with Johnny Gill regarding her wedding disaster with former fiancé Eddie Murphy. As previously (peep the post on the main page) reported, Gill was asked to comment on reports that Murphy's mother Lillian got into a heated argument with Edmonds' mom during the former couple's "spiritual ceremony" near Bora Bora. Gill told Banks: "One of Tracey's guests said some things that were inappropriate that triggered everything with the mom, and that's how it all started." Gill also denied rumors that he is secretly in a relationship with Murphy and was ultimately responsible for the legal ceremony being canceled. Well, J.G., I love you. And I said this before and I'll say it again: you gon need to return that pansy-ass nipple ring back to Peter Pan in order to somehow assist me in making me see you in a different light. I don't know if Janet inspired you to get it or not, but bottom line: them damn nipple rings, on ANY man, is not the business. And that's real talk, son. Trust.

Banks told his listeners Monday that Tracey had reached him by phone that morning, but was under gag order and couldn't discuss the issue because of a confidentiality agreement she signed with Eddie at the end of their relationship. **RG 101 RED ALERT: HOLD THE HELL UP! Who signs a confidentiality agreement after an illegitimate marriage? What was said at that wedding that was so secretive that it couldn't be repeated? Moreover, what was so secretive about it where folks had to sign confidentiality agreements? And who threatened who with leaking whatever was secretly said? END RG 101 RED ALERT** However her publicist released an official statement regarding Johnny Gill's comments during Friday's interview. According to Banks, the statement read:

"I was very shocked and disappointed to hear of Johnny Gill's false spin on the chain of events surrounding our wedding. His outrageous lies were clearly a very desperate and pathetic attempt to clean up his reputation at my expense. I would appreciate it if Mr. Gill would refrain from continuing to spread false gossip and lies to the public, and allow everyone involved to move on with their lies. We all know the real truth."

DIDDY'S READY TO BLING HIS NEW GODCHILREN

When Diddy says he's going to do something, nine times out of ten, he does it (with the exception of the way he threw New Edition under the bus when he signed them to his record label, but that's neither here or there, so I'll digress...for now). While Jennifer Lopez waddled around Tinseltown and beyond with an obvious baby bump and denied she was with child(ren), her ex-ex-ex boo, Diddy could be heard flapping his gums to anyone who would listen saying he couldn't wait to take on his new self -proclaimed Godfather role by sending gifts to his soon-to-be godchildren. "I'm extremely happy for her, and I will be sending some expensive god-daddy presents to her baby," Diddy stated late last year. The hip-hop and fashion mogul, who became a father to twins last year, was delighted to hear the news that Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony had become parents to a boy and a girl on Friday, and now he's hoping to play their fashion godfather. Diddy says, "I'm going to send her some baby clothes from my Sean John line. I'm so happy for her. It's such a blessing." And he hopes Lopez will find as much joy in her twins as he has in his new babies: "It's double the love, and it's also double the crying and the screaming, so it's a unique blessed situation. It's a rarity to have twins." Aside from his own twins, Combs also has three other kids by three different women.

Lopez and her babies, who are now recovering at home, has reportedly set up a $120,000 nursery. For now, the two will be sharing an ocean-themed room stocked in English furniture and French-made cribs decked out in hand-embroidered bedding. The tiny pair will also gaze upon 18-karat gilded trim and chandeliers in Jennifer and Marc Anthony’s Long Island home, as well as in the nurseries in their Bel Air and Fisher Island homes.

KANYE'S COUSIN PROPOSES NEW LAW IN HONOR OF HIS MOTHER, DR. DONDA WEST.

The death of Kanye West's mother, Dr. Donda West, might not have been in vain after all. A California Assemblywoman is seeking to pass a new law that would require patients to have medical clearance from a licensed doctor before undergoing plastic surgery. According to the Daily Bulletin, Yolanda Anderson, Donda West's niece, reached out to California State Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter, who introduced the "Donda West Law" on Friday, February 22. Donda West, 58, died Nov. 10, 2007, of complications after an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and breast reduction by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. A news release from Carter's office stated that Donda West did not heed medical advice from another plastic surgeon to get a clearance because of a pre-existing medical condition. The coroner's report in January was inconclusive about the cause of death.

Paramount for Anderson is making sure plastic surgery is safe for the next person, she said. "After we got back from her funeral, I decided to do something about it," Anderson said. "It became a passion for me." According to Anderson, Kanye is supporting the cause and has offered to help in any way that he can. “Kanye is ecstatic and very grateful,” said Anderson. “He said, `You started this. Now run with it and let me know how I can help.”
