Image
Rihanna's scorching hot advertisement for Armani Underwear has been voted as the sexiest of 2011. The raunchy promo was hailed the best of the year in a poll of advertising industry chiefs carried out by U.S. magazine Advertising Age. The magazine praised the 23-year-old, saying that she had never looked better. "It's Rihanna at her sexiest. She's never looked this good," the Daily Mail quoted the magazine as saying. "She's in amazing shape and the pictures are stunning," the magazine said. Model Miranda Kerr finished in second place due to her breathtaking return to underwear modelling for Victoria's Secret just weeks after having her first child earlier this year. Advertising Age called the 28-year-old as 'fabulous' in its article.It's like she's never been away," they said. British supermodel Kate Moss, last year's winner, finished in third place because of her topless campaign for Italian clothing firm Liu Jo. A serie...

Rihanna Wants Her Fans To Choose New Single!

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) R&B superstar Rihanna has taken to social networking site Twitter to ask her fans what her new single should be! She called on her 11.2 million followers to make the all-important decision of what the next cut from 'Talk That Talk' should be and after just a few minutes later she announced that they had collectively chosen a winner. Writing on her website (December 29), Rihanna reached out and explained: "I need answers!!!! #NEXTSINGLE #TTT" She was met with a flood of responses, with fans suggesting 'Farewell' and 'Cockiness', and then declared: "Ok DONE!!!! I like what I see...and decisions are MADE!!!#NEXTSINGLE." The 'Umbrella' hitmaker has already released 2 singles from her latest album, namely 'You Da One' and 'We Found Love', so this new offering will be her third. Earlier this year, February 28, she left her songs' fate in the hands of her fans as they selected 'California K...

Rihanna waves off 2011 in tiny bikini

Image
The singer, 23, showed off her figure in a tiny orange and red two-piece on the beach in Barbados. She is spending New Year in the Caribbean after the end of a gruelling six-month run of gigs across North and South America and Europe. Rih relaxed with her family, including brother Rajad, as she took a break in her home country. But the Bizarre Lady and Caner of 2011 won't be having a complete break from performing. She's headlining a private New Year's Eve party at the luxurious Sandy Lane Hotel. Top boyband The Wanted are also on the bill and they too have been enjoying the Bajan sunshine ahead of tonight's gig. This week Rihanna released the video for her new single You Da One; which sees her rub or grab her crotch at least TWENTY times. Shot in East London, the black and white film is like a "specialist" remake of A Clockwork Orange, filled with her trademark grinding. On Boxing Day she was spotted at several parties on Barbados — and she didn't ho...

She's been pretty "nice" - 2 me at least...” Enjoy the pictures of Jessica Alba and family out for Christmas Eve brunch (December 24).

Did Rihanna Steal Photographer’s Work For ‘You Da One’?

Another week, another Rihanna controversy. No more than two months after having to fork out almost a $1,000,000 for plagiarizing the work of David Lachapelle in her video for the single ‘S&M’, Island beauty Rihanna has found herself being accused of stealing concepts once again. This time from fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø, for her latest music video, You Da One‘. In one scene in the well received video, the vocalist can be seen writhing on the ground as spots and shadows make unique shapes on what appears to be her nude body, and it is this scene in particular that had many a Sundsbo fan labelling Ms. Fenty a copy cat. Because, any familiar with the photographer’s work would have spotted that the scene from Rihanna’s video is almost identical to images her created with Lithuanian model Edita Vilkeviciute. While we have a great deal of respect for director Melina Matsoukas, it is no coincidence that the four videos that have seen Rihanna come under fire for plagiarism were...

Cliff Richards wants duet with Rihanna

Image
Pop legend Cliff Richard says he would like to share a duet with singer Rihanna. The 71-year-old has previously collaborated with stars like Elton John, Jay Z and Eminem. “Somebody asked me if I’d like to sing with Rihanna and I thought ‘Who wouldn’t?’ She looks fantastic, she’s got a great voice, but in the case of duets, if it’s feasible, it’s always a matter of what the song is,” mirror.co.uk quoted Richards as saying. “If we both like the song, that's the best way to do a duet,” he added

Dutch magazine slurs Rihanna, and gets offended that she was offended

Image
I am almost loathe to write about this, because the feedback could be brutal. But I must. Apparently, some Dutch fashion magazine called Jackie thought it would be nifty and funny to do a fashion spread about how to dress just like Rihanna. I know lots of people who would love to dress like Rihanna. But they might not want to if they knew that dressing that way makes them look like a – and I was not aware that this was a thing- a “n—ab—h”. Yes. That happened. And Rihanna is apparently “the ultimate n—ab—-h”. The red-headed wonder was shockingly not thrilled about this achievement, and rather than asking that this be placed on a plaque, sent a profane Tweet to the editors of Jackie. While I might not have sent a profane Tweet while trying to prove that I was not low-class or profane or whatever that horrible word is supposed to be, I can’t blame the girl for being mad. Because they called her a … y’all, I’m not even gonna type that anymore, because it’s hard to type and because it’s stu...

Rihanna: Improper Music Entertainer of the Year 2011

Image
Rihanna has spent the past six months on a ball-busting tour, cranked out an album, filmed some hot videos, and partied like a bad ass to the brink of exhaustion. But when it was over, she, like her fans, wanted more. “I cannot believe this is the last show. It really sucks. I’m going to miss you all so fu*king much,” she told her audience in London during the last show in the 98-date Loud Tour through North and South America and Europe. “This tour has been one of the best experiences of my life, I’ve grown so attached to you all – more than I ever thought I could be,” she added. Check out Rihanna’s photos; click to enlarge. Then in true fashion, she sang “Take A Bow,” “Umbrella” and “We Found Love” in a rousing encore. The 23-year-old singer has proved herself to be the hardest working woman in show business. Her songs are not only chart-topping and uniquely styled, she defines smoldering rock-star sexuality. She’s sassy, insouciant, free-spirited, rebellious, playful and wears he...

Rihanna slams fashion magazine for racial abuse

Image
Rihanna has launched a scathing attack on a Dutch magazine after they racially abused her in one of its articles. Fashion publication Jackie published a piece which apparently focused on the You Da One singer's style, but used the racist phrase "the ultimate n**gabitch" to describe her. Rihanna confronted Jackie editor-in-chief Eva Hoeke via Twitter, writing: "I hope u can read english, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! "You ran out of legit, civilized information to print! There are 1000's of Dutch girls who would love to be recognised for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. "Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That's your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past![sic]" Hoeke issued a public apology for the mistake shortly after R...

Rihanna completed her Loud Tour at London's The O2 venue last night (22.12.11).

Image
The 'You Da One' singer finished her huge 98 date tour in the English capital, and thanked fans for all their support over the last year. Before her encore of 'Take A Bow', 'Umbrella' and ' We Found Love', she told the crowd: "I cannot believe this is the last show. It really sucks. I'm going to miss you all so f***ing much. "This tour has been one of the best experiences of my life, I've grown so attached to you all - more than I ever thought I could be." The Loud Tour ran from June to December and included dates in North and South America and Europe, including 11 nights in total in London, with the final three filmed for a live DVD. However, the tour was not without upset as the 23-year-old star had to cancel two dates in Sweden in November due to exhaustion. The crowd last night (22.11.12) included fellow pop singer Cheryl Cole, who was hugely impressed with Rihanna's singing. She tweeted afterwards: "Just left last #Lo...

Rihanna’s on fire as a Dragon

IF Rihanna became an investor on Dragons' Den, the S&M trade would boom. The Bajan star did some impressions of the business brains during a break while filming her latest video on Wednesday. The shoot was at the location in Stoke Newington, north-east London, that was originally used to film the BBC2 show. And the Den, now a chill-out room, remains untouched. Producers positioned the chairs like they are on Dragons' Den and gave Rihanna some catchphrases to blurt out. A source said: "Rihanna was happy to play along. She was prompted to say things like, 'I'm Out' and, 'I'll offer you 20 per cent of the business'. "The crew were in hysterics." Next time she's filming in the UK her bosses should book a location used for a programme more up her street.

Rihanna demands room for her entourage at Jingle Bell ball

Image
YOU’D be forgiven for thinking Rihanna’s the Only Girl in the World allowed to have an entourage – given her latest diva demands. The 23-year-old Bajan is headlining this weekend’s Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball and demanded TWO massive rooms backstage. So poor Olly Murs and Pixie Lott have been downgraded to single rooms. Frantic organisers had to knock down walls to accommodate RiRi, who is bringing an entourage of more than 50 people – including an “eyelash whisperer” from the States to glue on her lashes individually. My mole tells me: “Everyone else performing, including The Wanted, have been forced to cram into a tiny room backstage. “Most acts have only been given a plus one, so Rihanna has put a few noses out of joint as organisers have had to lay on food, free drinks and free tickets for her 50-plus entourage.”

Rihanna Reportedly On 24-Hour Health Watch

Image
A 10-month, 101 day tour? No wonder Rihanna is said to be exhausted. The ambitious 23-year-old singer, has reportedly been put on 24-hour health watch -- which according to sources means she's under around-the-clock surveillance and even has a curfew. According to The Mirror, record execs at Mercury requested the measures after Rihanna allegedly had a backstage meltdown and nearly cancelled a show in Dublin, Ireland on Nov. 25. The singer may have spent most of the year touring but, she still has lots more lined up before the year is through. Sources say that Rihanna's team is determine she look, act and perform her best for the "Loud" tour DVD she's filming in December. Last week Rihanna, took to Twitter, telling fans, "I'm so light-headed! WTF!!!!!," after her allegedly closed-to cancelled performance. According to the UK's Daily Mail, the singer even turned to pal Beyonce to help her find the strength to maintain her hectic schedule. But accor...

Rihanna's New Blonde Haircut: Yay or Nay?

Image
On arrival at Grazia Towers this morning we were greeted by fellow colleagues who were reminiscing and coo-ing about their trip to the O2 last night to see the diva that is Rihanna. Yes, filling us with instant envy, we heard all about her insane dancing, awesome vocals and - one for the beauty girls - her very blonde new mop of hair! Yup, we love the news of a cool new crop, especially from someone as funky as Ri-Ri. Not one to shy away from ever-changing hairstyles, Rihanna skipped on stage donning her fancy blonde bob and of course it went down a treat - the singer always manages to pull off even the trickiest of trends (remind yourself of her on-going hair flairs here). With a bit of further investigation and detective work, we have found out the precise origin of this fro, which came about yesterday afternoon. Yes, in true Ri-Ri style she was pictured on the set of her new music video (shot in the very grimy-glam London area of Dalston) for her upcoming single, You Da One, sportin...
