Justin Bieber snubbed by Rihanna

Justin Bieber was blocked by security when trying to talk to Rihanna at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (22.05.11). The 17-year-old singer – who was accompanied to the bash by girlfriend Selena Gomez - was reportedly left red-faced after he was prevented from talking to the 'S&M' star after he approached her five times at the prestigious event, which took place at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena. The insider said: “Justin thinks Rihanna is the most beautiful woman and supremely talented. “He is in awe of her. Justin is just a red-blooded teenager, he can’t help acting like a love-sick puppy dog when he’s around her. “The pair were chatting as Justin’s girlfriend Selena looked on, scowling. Then Rihanna got dragged away by a couple of her friends. “The pair resumed their chat later but when Justin went to talk to her at the show’s climax her security blocked his path, telling him to ‘leave it’."

Rihanna Navy Are To Thank For Britney Duet

18 May 2011 - Unless you’re Madonna, it’s not easy to work with Britney Spears. Even though collaborations are very much en vogue, Miss Spears seems happy to go it alone. So when a Britney remix of Rihanna’s S&M came out last month, the pop world sat up and listened. What was behind the hook up? Twitter of course. According to RiRi, she has her fans and their tweets to thank, explaining: “They asked about me and Britney Spears and we did it! Obviously it worked out pretty well!” n fact, the 23-year old from Barbados has so many fans online (over 32 million on Facebook) they are now called the Rihanna Navy - something the singer doesn’t take lightly. The What’s My Name star stated: “It is important for me professionally because I get to really get the first feedback you know, right away. I don’t have to think about it, I don’t have to guess.” She added: “They say right to me what they like, what they hate, what they want, what they want more of. And that is important."

Singer Rihanna reveals that the infamous 2009 assault by her then boyfriend has made her strong and a better songwriter. 'It actually gave me a lot of liberation. What I mean is, I was able to tap into the personal part of my music. I started to tell stories through my music that were actually my stories,' femalefirst.co.uk. quoted her as saying. The Umbrella hitmaker was beaten black and blue by then-boyfriend Chris Brown, who is still serving his punishment for the attack. The couple split immediately after the fight. '(In) my album before that there was still a little bit of protection, there was still an innocence to me. And what that time in my life did was kind of wake people up - it's not all a bed of roses. My life is like yours,' she added. 'It made me look at the world in a much bigger way because my life was suddenly super duper magnified. All eyes were on me. I needed that in my life to know how to say, 'F**k off!' To know how to keep my head...
