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...

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...

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 may be a good girl gone bad, but she still relishes tradition. Despite being in Ireland for the European leg of her tour, the Barbadian beauty brought the Thanksgiving holiday spirit overseas for her entire band and crew. According to the Daily Mail, the singer hosted an impromptu turkey dinner for nearly 100 guests at local pub in Dublin. The thought of being away from family members on the holiday was too much to bear for the singer and her entourage, so she brought the festivities to her team at O'Donoghue's pub, where she organized the soiree -- even deciding on the menu herself, which was catered by French bistro Hugo's located across the street from the pub. Rihanna chose a traditional turkey dinner complete with mashed potatoes, veggies and cranberry sauce. The pop princess also decided to indulge in some everyday comfort food. The menu included macaroni and cheese, clam chowder and apple cobbler. But in true Rihanna style, she ditched the typical Thanksgivin...

When it comes to purchasing singles, very few can match the powers of Rihanna’s UK navy. For, as a way of thanking for her delivering a number of show stopping dates in the country within the last few weeks, they have taken her latest single ‘We Found Love‘ back to #1. Full story below… Beating JLS‘ ‘Take A Chance On Me‘ to the top spot, the single returned to #1 after spending last week at #2. Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Super Bass‘ climbs up by four spaces to #35 this week after making its debut on the chart exactly seven months ago, now two places Lady GaGa‘s ‘Edge Of Glory‘ which resides at the #37 spot. At #61 is Katy Perry‘s ‘The One That Got Away‘ which is expected to score a higher position next week after the release of its supporting video two days ago. On the album’s front, Cher Lloyd‘s ‘Sticks & Stones’ makes it debut at #4 placing it 5 places above Adele‘s ‘21′ which holds court at #9 this week after 42 weeks on the chart.

Rihanna has just listed her troubled Beverly Hills mansion on Monday for $4.5 million -- a far cry from the $6.9 million price she paid in 2009. The reason for the massive price drop? It could be related to Rihanna's claims that the home has structural defects rendering it inhabitable. Last August, she took those claims to court in a lawsuit filed against the home's realtors, developers and other companies that took part in the remodeling of the home. The Associated Press has more on the lawsuit: The "S&M" singer's lawsuit claims she would not have paid $6.9 million for the home in 2009 if she had known about the problems. She claims water leaked into several rooms of the house from a balcony that lacks the proper slope and drainage after a rainstorm in early 2010. The suit states the damage left the home "uninhabitable." Real estate blog Zillow thinks her lawsuit could have merit: "If Rihanna did, in fact, perform due diligence in purchasing th...

Excitement is building among Norwich music fans as one of the world’s largest pop bands prepares to play an intimate concert at the University of East Anglia. Coldplay performed at the apprentice union at lunchtime today (Thursday) as part of BBC Radio 1’s Apprentice Tour, which sees DJs Fearne Cotton and Zane Lowe broadcasting live from four university towns and cities. The band’s morning performance was be aired to a national radio audience from in the Live Lounge part of the morning show hosted by Fearne Cotton. Just 100 students were given the chance to see the chart-topping band while others peered through the windows to catch a glimpse. The performance saw them play Hurts Like Heaven and Paradise while their “mystery cover” was a Rihanna song. Lucy Dale, 20, who studies film and television at the UEA, was one of the fortunate fans to get the chance to see the Live Lounge set. She said it was “like a dream”. “It’s been absolutely incredible, I can’t describe it,” said Miss Dale, w...

Last week, it was Rihanna, before that, Emma Watson, Katy Perry and (astonishingly) even Princess Eugenie... Eleven o’clock on a Friday night in Central London. I’m sitting on a velveteen sofa in a cordoned off area of Sophisticats, a lap-dancing club in Marylebone. A pretty young woman called Zoe is dancing in front of me. She can’t be much older than 21, with platinum blonde hair extensions stretching down to her waist, fake nails and far too much glittery make-up. Unnervingly, she doesn’t break eye contact. There’s not a hint of awkwardness, as though she’s done this a hundred times before — which, of course, she has. Her electric green G-string has been carefully peeled off. She gives me a wry wink before dangling it inches from my face. I have no idea where to look. I’m more than uncomfortable. But unlike Rihanna, who was spotted exiting London’s Stringfellows last week, I’m not here for fun. I’m here to investigate the apparently growing trend of heterosexual women spending their...

Another year, another Esquire list of the sexiest women to achieve list-worthy levels of sexiness for an uninterrupted 12 months. Rihanna comes out at No. 1 in the men's mag's just-released 2011 rankings -- perhaps in part because nothing makes a magazine editor's pants feel funny like a well-timed album launch. (Talk That Talk! Buy it this November!) Or, because as Esquire so tastefully puts it in their cover story, Rihanna is, in concert, "the essence of F---." Rihanna's sexiness, however, is no new thing — though the magazine's pictures of RiRi naked and caked in seaweed and sludge are. (New, that is. The sexiness of a pop star who looks like she was dredged from the Hudson River is debatable.) And the singer's soundbites in the piece don't seem that fresh, either. To wit: nearly three years after the fact, she's still making headlines by talking about the ex Esquire refers to as "the asshole Chris Brown." Rihanna, however, refers ...

Rihanna tweeted that she's pregnant! The "We Found Love" singer was spotted leaving the Clarence Hotel after her concert in Belfast, Ireland over the weekend. Earlier in the day a fan tweeted Rihanna saying, "Wanted to buy Rihanna CDs had to stop when someone told me that she is the princess of illuminati and she sold her soul for fame." This is pretty hard for a sane person to believe, so since the fan was willing to believe anything, Rihanna replied: "When will u idiots ever learn? She didn't tell u I'm also pregnant with a polka dot zebra??? Its too easy..." So there you have it, Rihanna is going to have a baby by a polka dot zebra! We believe her too, because she's the princess of the Illuminati! #Sarcasm#

A cousin of pop queen Rihanna has vowed to follow in the singer's footsteps. Wynta Nuvo is currently making her first album and plans to consult with the Rated R singer on how to become a star. The 21-year-old, who has just returned from a trip to Barbados where she was visiting family - including Rihanna's father Ronald Fenty, said: 'I've just finished making Rihanna a mix-tape of seven songs and I want to see her personally to give it to her.' Describing her music, Wynta said: 'I’ve been rapping and singing since I was little. I do a mixture of rap and pop, the Caribbean really inspires me. I’m creating dance music too, going down the highway dancing in your car type music.' Wynta, who now lives 2,000 miles from Barbados in Atlanta, Georgia, returned to her native home this month, staying a stones throw from where Rihanna grew up as a child. She is close friends with Rihanna’s little brother Rajad but has only met her superstar cousin twice because she le...

4 August 2011 - Rihanna has already started work on her next album. The 'Umbrella' singer is already "closing up" recording on her sixth record according to Verse Simmonds, part of production duo The Jugganauts, who worked on her track 'Man Down', from her last album, 'Loud'. He told MTV: "From what I understand, she is closing the album up now, and we did two records for her that she really, really loved and I'm really excited about them as well. They are records that we wrote and produced as the Jugganauts." Verse added the song will have a different sound to 'Man Down', as Rihanna is always trying to better herself creatively and change her sound. He said: "It'll definitely not sound the same, because we always try, constantly — as producers, as artists — we try to always come with something different, a whole new sound." It was rumoured earlier this year Rihanna was to work with Beyonce Knowles on a track, which ...

London: Singer Rihanna has been named woman of the year by Italian Vogue magazine. Rihanna was honoured for her charity work, pop success and her ability to tackle adversity in personal life, including troubled relationships with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and drug addict father Ronald Fenty. "Independent, energetic, the young Robyn Rihanna Fenty (only 23) is our woman of the year, and not just by virtue of numbers and figures but also, and foremost, for her kind and fighting spirit," contactmusic.com quoted a spokesperson from the magazine as saying. "The same spirit that brought her from Barbados to the top of the music charts achieving a career which she has forged and mastered completely by herself (whose last move was to become the new ambassador for Armani)," it said. "Rihanna is the undisputed best contender to the role of queen of pop. Her career has always been based on the cunning use of sexiness and provocation. "She has managed to cultivate her c...

Rihanna has revealed that she'd be happy to a start a relationship with someone and would like to meet a man who makes her laugh. The 23-year-old singer, who is due to perform in front of fans with V Festival tickets next month, told Cosmopolitan magazine that she's "open to love". However, in a warning to would-be suitors, she insisted: "Guys should have to earn it, because the minute they get it, they want something else." The Barbadian star added: "Men are like hunters; they like the chase. So you have to keep 'em guessing." She also revealed that when it comes to love, she finds it hard to reveal her softer side, claiming it's easier to act tough than to show vulnerability. And when quizzed on her 'type', she said she's attracted to guys with a good sense of humour. Rihanna will be taking to the Virgin Media stage at this year's V Festival, which is due to take place on August 20th and 21st.

The Beautiful Girls singer is in a 'critical condition' in hospital after his watercraft hit Palm Island Bridge. The 21-year-old was on the jet ski with a female passenger and both were injured after the crash. A boater rescued the pair from the water, and Miami Fire Rescue crews rushed them to hospital. Kingston is being treated in the trauma ward of Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. Rihanna posted a message to the Jamaican/American singer on the micro-blogging site Twitter: 'Sean we praying for u baby.'

JLS are apparently "in talks" to record a collaboration with Rihanna. Boyband star Ortisé Williams revealed to reporters that himself and the rest of the group - who were the runners up on The X Factor in 2008 - are hoping to work with the star. Ortisé said: "We are in talks to collaborate with Rihanna. Let's see what happens there. We hope so. I tried to chat her up. "It was going well and then there were a few other guys on the prowl and I said, 'You know what, I'll step out because there's [sic] others.' I can't say who." He added: "But she's popular, very popular when she comes to England."

Rihanna returns to ballad form with her new single “California King Bed,” off her Loud album. The 23-year-old singer said in a Twitter post she didn’t want to be “2 swiney” after her S&M album. Directed by Anthony Mandler, the video features Rihanna in a surreal scenes alternating among a bedroom with a monster bed, a grassy field and clouds and sunsets. The thrust of the song is about the growing distance between two lovers, who once shared their bed together, but have slowly drifted apart. Rihanna asked her fans in February on Twitter to choose her next single from the album. “I’m shootin a new vid in a cpl wks, I just need u to tell me, which song should I shoot? What is my next single?” she tweeted. “Its hard to go from s+m to SKIN! Don’t want to be 2 swiney,” she added. The result was California King Bed. Rihanna will open NBC’s “The Today Show” summer concert series on May 27. Ex-boyfriend Chris Brown is also slated to perform on July 15.

Stylist B. Akerlund had never worked with Rihanna before she got the assignment to choose her outfits for the current issue of Rolling Stone – but she immediately had some ideas. "Her people told me the direction that we were going was if Kid Rock and Rihanna had a baby," she tells Rolling Stone. "So I tried to think of things she hadn't done. And everyone kept on saying super sexy, super sexy, and I'm like, okay, I'll give you sexy." The result was a cover shot of Rihanna wearing a pair of barely-there, torn metallic shorts with a Levi's logo on the back, a midriff-baring white tank top and a red bandanna tied around her wrist. But it was the shorts that had everyone talking. Or as Popdust put it: "Rihanna is sporting a revolutionary booty-flaunting garment that’s part shorts, part apron and part nothing." Akerlund commissioned the shorts from designer Michael Schmidt, whom she frequently collaborates with. "I like everything that spa...

RIHANNA really is a Good Girl Gone Bad - she has confessed she likes to be "tied up and spanked". The 24-year-old singer has opened up about her sexual preferences in the bedroom. And she said: "I love feeling like I'm somebody's girl. I love to be tied up and spanked." But Rihanna - whose rapper ex CHRIS BROWN assaulted her on the night of the Grammys in 2009 - added that she would "prefer to be spontaneous". She said: "Using whips and chains is too planned. You have to stop and look for the whip. I prefer them to use their hands." The star thinks her desires are linked to her hectic career. She explained: "I like to take the reins in my life, but be submissive in the bedroom. "I can be a little lady and have a male who has responsibility. That's sexy. "I work hard and take a lot of decisions every day, so I prefer to feel the intimacy of someone like the girl." The What's My Name singer, born and raised in Ba...
