Eminem, Rihanna Monster Tour creates presale Facebook frenzy and it's highly impossible to buy two seats together at Tickets.com for the second shows at Detroit, Los Angeles and New York. Meanwhile, the LAPD officer who leaked the "Diamonds" singer's beaten up photos has been fired.
A "general public" sale of tickets of the Eminem, Rihanna Monster Tour will start at LiveNation.com at 10am on March 28, Mlive.com reports. Due to overwhelming demand, the stars will perform in Los Angeles on Aug. 7 and Aug. 8 (Thursday and Friday) and New York on Aug. 16 and Aug. 17 (Saturday and Sunday) and in Detroit on Aug. 22 and Aug. 23 (Friday and Saturday).
In a Rolling Stone story, Eminem said that the new collaboration with Rihanna was "not necessarily a sequel, as much as it is a revisitation" to his past.
"To me, it's more about the vice, and it's more about the nostalgia," he said.
Also according to a recent news report, Rebecca Reyes an LAPD officer, was fired for leaking Rihanna's photos after she was beaten by Chris Brown.
Reyes confessed to have shared Rihanna's bruised face look with some of her close friends but she has no clue of how the photo made its way to the gossip site, TMZ. The case was upheld in LA court and county prosecutors and police were unable to produce direct evidence tying Reyes' involvement in sharing the photos with TMZ or other officers.
The photos of Rihanna's injuries were stacked on the desk at the station with easy accessibility to one and all, according to a report by Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
"Those pictures were everywhere at the station," said Ira Salzman, Reyes' attorney.
During the time that the two were exchanging calls, Blanca Lopez, an LAPD officer with whom Reyes had been in relationship with, went on to call several media outlets including TMZ about the Brown-Rihanna incident.
However, Lopez later explained that her only purpose in calling TMZ was to determine if Reyes was exaggerating her description. The judge said this, "defies logic."
