Gossip Teen

After Rob Kardashian and Rihanna were seen celebrating a friend’s birthday together at Racer’s Edge Indoor Karting in Burbank, California, reports surfaced that the two were becoming an item.  A romantic item.

Oh, you already got that?  Okay, sorry we just thought maybe we should explain…

According to a source who spotted the couple partying at L.A.’s Playhouse nightclub after their jaunt on the go-karts,

They were sitting closely at the club, whispering in each other’s ears and clearly flirting…

And according to one of the Kardashians themselves (and yes, we promise it wasn’t Rob!),

Rihanna and Rob have been flirting for a while.

We can’t imagine this romance made in reality TV heaven will have a longterm leg to stand on, but just the same, we wish these two crazy kids all the best!

Do you think Rob and Rihanna will last?  VOTE below!!!

Despite rumors that she’s been sending flirty texts to the newly-single Robert Pattinson, hip hop superstar Rihanna was spotted getting pretty cozy with longtime pal Rob Kardashian at Racer’s Edge Indoor Karting in Burbank, Calif. Saturday afternoon.

According to sources, the pair spent most of the day clowning around the go-kart track with a few friends and then headed to the Playhouse nightclub for some after-hours fun.  Apparently, Rihanna’s ex-BF Chris Brown was also at Playhouse that evening, but eyewitnesses report that the two did not cross paths.

During a recent interview with Oprah, Rihanna opened up about her controversial relationship with her ex.

We love each other and we probably always will, and that’s not anything that we’re going to try to change… I think he was the love of my life. He was my first love and I see that he loved me the same way.

Seriously Rihanna?  You think Chris Brown loved you?  He sure had a funny way of showing it…

But before you start feeling sorry for poor old Rob because Rihanna is still clearly hung up on her ex, you should know that Rob himself isn’t completely untethered.  The former Dancing with the Stars contestant has been romantically linked to Rita Ora, although the two have never openly acknowledged their relationship.

Sounds like a love-square made in tabloid magazine heaven!

You might need to hold on to your hats for this one folks…

Rob Kardashian, star of the hit reality series Keeping Up With The Kardashians, is going to law school.

Apparently, the 25-year-old is headed to USC’s Gould Law School this fall to begin following in his late father Robert Kardashian Sr.’s footsteps.  Rob Sr. was best known for his part in O.J. Simpson’s ”Dream Team” in the mid-90′s and it looks like he was lucky enough to pass the law bug down to his only son.

Rob Jr. took to his Twitter yesterday to officially announce the big news.

Going to Law School very soon and so excited and can’t wait! School just never ends for me! #UniversityofSouthernCal #Trojans #FightOn.

Congrats Rob – glad to see someone in the Kardashian family taking life seriously!

The 2012 Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards nominees were announced earlier today and all we have to say is, ‘Holy long list of potential winners Batman!’  Oh, and these 55 categories are apparently only the first wave of nominees – host Will Smith is going to be in for a looong evening!  You can log on to Nickelodeon.com to cast your vote today and everyday until the award show airs live on FOX, July 22 at 8 p.m.

It seems like the beginning of a new year always brings out the best in people – even celebs.  Who knew!?  Which is why we’re bringing you, dear readers, some of our favorite celeb New Year’s resolutions for 2012, and assigning each of them a Gossip Teen grade based on difficulty and potential level of personal growth.

ROB KARDASHIAN: “I have a dress sock line I’m working on..I want that to launch successfully. Obviously getting into shape is big for me…that’s one of my main things.”

Ummm okay, I guess promoting a “dress sock” line is a way of bettering yourself. B+

VAMPIRE DIARIES‘ KAT GRAHAM: “To eat as many donuts as possible and lose weight while doing so!”

I like where you’re head is at Kat, but I just don’t see you being able to follow this one through.  C-

LA LA ANTHONY: “I always say that I’m going to work out and eat better and lose weight, and last year it probably lasted a good three weeks, so hopefully this year I can go a little longer.”

LAME SAUCE!  Point deduction for being majorly boring.   C-

KELLY BENSIMON: “Take 30 days off of everything that’s toxic and see how I come out the other end.”

Not sure how you’re going to take 30 days off from yourself, but good luck!  D

SETH GREEN: “I’d like to learn from all the mistakes I’ve made and try harder in the areas that may need a little improvement.”

I like your drive, Seth!  A-

WHITNEY PORT: “Just to have a little more patience with everybody.”

Simple, attainable and realistic.  I like it.  A-

ABIGAIL BRESLIN: “Umm…To stop saying ‘umm’ so much!”

A girl after my own heart.  A+

What’s your New Year’s Resolution?  Let us know at @GossipTeens!!!
