Despite battling bronchitis and laryngitis, Rihanna still got fired up for Grammy weekend by joining her Roc Nation boss Jay-Z at the Gucci and Roc Nation pre-Grammy brunch held at Soho House in West Hollywood. Mrs. Carter also held court, while her sister Solange worked the ones and twos. The star-studded affair drew Will Smith, Cassie, Ne-Yo, The-Dream, Adrienne Bailon, Florence Welch, and more. (more…)
That’s right, naughty little “S&M” Rihanna showed a more tasteful side of her in her new fragrance campaign. The advert which will impact everywhere shows Rihanna walking around in a random setting, much like her “Only Girl (In The World)” video! Rihanna also ran into some trouble this week when claims that Rihanna and her director Melina Matsoukas plagiarised the work of photographer David LaChapelle should be taken with a pinch of salt, as I have previously argued.

Pop mannequin Rihanna unleashes her latest array of colourful distractions in the video for her latest single “S&M“. The club destined cut serves as the 3rd release to be lifted from the aspiring singer’s 5th studio album “Loud“. Released in November, the Platinum certified LP looks set to outperform her past efforts (even though it consists of mainly filler) In any case, check out the Melina directed video above.
Although a little random and with the video for Nicki Minaj featuring Drake “Moment 4 Life” in heavy circulation across the MTV Networks, we was spared us a few moments from the craziness of behind the scenes of the video shoot! (thanks to Young Money Cash Money Broadcasts) And yes with “Moment 4 Life” still not on VEVO to watch we’ve only got days before Nicki will also drop the Rihanna collaboration ”Fly“, so I ask myself – why is Nicki rushing through her lined up singles? She is going going to cut the album shelf life short right? (more…)

Bust out the whips and chains. Rihanna gets dirty (ew…) on the set of “S&M,” the new single off her latest album Loud. In the behind-the-scenes footage from the Melina-directed video, RiRi, clad in pink body latex, spins around in a chair and plays naughty games with hostages before putting on a red clown wig (a look inspired from side show bob) and clutching a blow-up doll. Ow! And trust me you think “Rude Boy” was hot, well then just wait and see. (more…)
So sideshow bob, I mean Rihanna showed off her new wig. (Again), Rihanna serves up more scintillating stills from her “S&M” video shoot with director Melina. In the latest photos, the big-haired diva can seen lounging on an office desk in a pink latex cocktail dress surrounded by the prying press. For another look, the Playboy bunny, wearing a hip-hugging getup, black stilettos, and yellow ears atop her flowing crimson locks, reclines against a wall covered in tabloid headlines. There’s no stopping her now! – YAWN! (more…)
