Rockstar 101

Last night famed drummer Travis Barker post this picture of himself and Rihanna on set for the "Rockstar 101" music video. Rihanna and Travis Barker both equal dope on a stick, so be prepared to take notes.

Rihanna on SNL

This has to be the funniest thing of the week.

The crazy thing is, this could REALLY be a song. I have the mp3 download. :)

Fergalicious

Some say Fergie is jocking Ri Ri's style, but I just think she's finally realizing those tacky cut off tops and super low rise jean just isn't where its at. Either way, I think Fergie looks amazing at the Grammy Nominations Concert.

What do you think?

Rihanna Opens Up WIth Bravo Magazine

The pop chick with the center of attention sits down with Bravo and gets a lot more personal than we expected. Here's a little look at the interview:

Bravo: Respect! Rihanna, your interview about Chris Brown was really brave. But his friends don’t agree and say that you are a liar.
Rihanna: This doesn’t shock me at all. I know these people and you know what: Up yours! I gave this interview, because I want to encourage girls who have gone through such hard times like me. I do not want to destroy Chris’ career or make mine “higher,” because this is a relieve for me. Now I look forward and I will enjoy my life.

Bravo: Your outfits are hotter then never, with a see-through blouse or half naked. Are you looking for a new man right now?
Rihanna: (laughs) I love flirting at the moment. I’m single and I’m enjoying my freedom.

Bravo: You are the most wanted single woman in this world right now. Don’t you get many phone calls from men who wanna go out with you?
Rihanna: No calls, because I don´t give my phone number out that often. But if I’m dating, I check the boy from the top to the bottom. (giggles)

Bravo: What does a guy have to have to impress/get you?
Rihanna: (laughs) He has to be good in bed and the size matters.

Bravo: Excuse me?
Rihanna: You got what I mean. The inner beauty counts as well, but without toy, it doesn’t make fun. Right now I don’t want to have a serious relationship, I want to have fun.



Bravo: What’s your favorite flirt right now?
Rihanna: Well there’s this actor, his name is Jesse Williams (28), he played in “Grey´s Anatomy” and I have him in my music video for “Russian Roulette.” He’s soooo hot!

Bravo: Are your clothes always that sexy or do you like to wear casual at home?
Rihanna: (laughs) To be honest, I’m even hotter at home, because I´m always naked there. I’m from Barbados, that’s quite normal there. My pool boy saw me naked 5 times already.

Bravo: He must be the luckiest man in the world…
Rihanna: (laughs) Yeah, at first it was so embarrassing. I always forget when he comes. I’m so confused when I have a day off, I usually sleep until noon and when I wake up, I don´t even know what day it is. But he’s used to this view now. I even told my assistant to text me when he comes: “Rihanna get dressed, the pool boy is here!”
Bravo: Are there days where you don’t feel that comfortable?
Rihanna: Yes, of course. Everyone knows that, especially we girls. Some days I just feel fat, bloated and b*tchy. Those are my “ugly days.”

Bravo: And even then you look so perfect, how is this possible?
Rihanna: I shouldn’t tell you that, but in those days, I wear something that hides my stomach, under my outfit. I feel more comfortable with it.

Bravo: You are a style icon for years, who is your style icon?
Rihanna: Cruella de Vil, the bad lady from “101 Dalmatians.” Her style is edgy, dark and hot. Exactly what I love.

Rihanna Wears Fendi Fall Collection On 20/20

It took me a second to figure out what my girl had on. But, trust me, you know I was going to have it.

Fend Fall Collection is what Rihanna went with while describing the events of the night we all wish never happened. I suppose her stylist, Mariel Haenn, suggested she leave the corset at home, which was a smart move and the short sleeves were added. She gave innocence with a strong personality. This happened with the nude lips and nails mixed with the shoulders for days. Perfect accessories - those studs were gorgeous and the handful of rings went awf!

I still can't get into the hair. But if she trusts Tippi Shorter's (hair stylist) opinion, so do I.




We see where she got inspiration from, huh?

Rihanna Speaks Out on ABC's 20/20

Last night on ABC's 20/20 Rihanna finally spoke out about the domestic violence case with Chris Brown. Unlike Chris Brown's interview on Larry King Live, Rihanna left viewers with no room to guess on what happened that night.

Diane Sawyer got the whole story out of Robin Rihanna Fenty, from details on why he hit her and why she went back.

Rihanna said that she in fact read a text message from Brown's ex-girlfriend and she wouldn't let him continue to lie about it. The situation escalated from there. She also cleared up rumors saying that Brown did not put his hands on her more than once, although stating that he shoved her once before but doesn't consider that a case of domestic violence.

Rihanna appears to be fully committed to her career and says she has no desire to date as of now, and can't see herself getting back with Chris Brown. Rihanna told Sawyer that she just wants Brown to accept what he's done as a man and stop feeling sorry for himself.

Taking a break from her "all black everything", Rihanna appeared very sure of her self and seems to have learned a lot from this situation and how it affects her fans. View the entire episode and let us know how you feel about the situation now that all the information is out there.

Rihanna Breaks The Silence

Right when I was about to do a write-up on Rihanna's new album cover (pictured above) and her speaking on her album, or lack thereof. I mean, I was about to go IN!

She has been quiet for so long about her album; the direction, her inspiration, collaborations, etc. Luckily she has die-hard stans that won't hold it against her.

But right before I was going to give Miss RiRi a piece of my mind, she comes back with another promo video. She has got television channel, ABC on her side and for the FIRST time she is telling HER story. They make it so dramatic. Stay tuned this Thursday at 7 a.m. for Good Morning America and Friday night at 10, for 20/20.

Her marketing team goes awf. Not off. AWF.

Rihanna's Newest Single: Russian Roulette

Twitter has reached capacity. Facebook and MySpace are going awf. Everyone and their mom is talking about it. The Wait Is Really OVA. Get in.

I was sitting in class, headphones in ears (shame on me) and hands ready to click on the first link of Rihanna's newest single "Russian Roulette".

The song is nothing anyone expected, which is only one of the reasons why I love it. We we're looking right. She went left. The slow tempo and beat was everything I needed, & I didn't even know.

Just see for yourself. Rihanna - Russian Roulette

Furry Little Friends

This season fur is everywhere! The most commonly found use of fur (or faux fur) is in the new shaggy fur vests that won't keep you warm, but will keep you current. That's all that matters right?

Every store at every price point has a version of fur this fall...BB Dakota did fur lined hoods that we've seen before, AE has furry boots, and Express has chic leather jackets with removable fur collars.

This version of fur is not the grannie Sunday morning furs, its the rock star edgy furs. Bloomingdales and Urban Outfitters has some of the best edgy furs at...ok prices, that only need a dope boot and ripped skinny jean to shut the show downnnnnn. For my frugal friends we all know we can get the next best thing at Forever 21 and rock out with the best of them ;-).

For PETA's sake lets make it faux fur.

All Black EVERYTHING.

Little Known Black Fact: "Run This Town" was originally Rihanna's song. Jay-Z tells Ryan Seacrest in a short interview that she wasn't using it and Jay liked it. Coincidently enough, Jay had a song that he wasn't using that RiRi wanted. So they swapped it out and...MAGIC!

On other news (and the real reason for this post), Rihanna has been giving me "Run This Town" All Black downnnn for Paris Fashion Week. & I love it. Like, L.O.V.E. it. Ugh. She's so bad ass.

Looks by Givenchy, Louboutin, Martin Margiela, Dior & much more. You could catch her perched in the front row of every show she attended. Check out a few pics below.

RiRi At The VMAs After-Party

I don't recall seeing Rihanna at the Video Music Awards, but she made an appearance at the after-party with her best friend Melissa. Those tiger print nails are sick.

Ehh. I'll Pass.

Am I the only one who doesn't see it for the cover of Vogue Italia with Rihanna. I mean, Rihanna has put a dent in the fashion world with her trends but this just isn't it. Much respect to Steven Klein, because he does amazing work...but this...I don't know. It just doesn't really tickle my fancy. The Valentino dress is delicious, and everything else is to die for. But the cover is not giving me life.


-Christopher Nic.

Look 4 Less

Who wouldn't want Rihanna's croak over and die style??? So instead plotting on how to become a pop/rock star so you can afford designer shoes...just visit bakers and get the next best thing. $89 can get you this popular caged look, so you can "Run This Town Tonight". Lol...that was soooo corny, oh well.

Chris Brown's First Big Interview

Chris "Knock-Out" Brown was seen leaving the CNN studios 2 days ago, after doing his hour long interview with the one and only Larry King. Brown's mother and lawyer was by his side the whole time, and it has been said that Moma Brown got really emotional and shed a few tears. I can't help but think that this will be the most popular Larry King among the 16-25 crowd.

The whole issue is so touchy, and I can already feel myself tensing up if he doesn't show any sign of remorse or regret for what he did. And knowing Larry King, Chris is going to be forced to answer all the heavy and uncomfortable questions.

The highly anticipated interview can be seen September 2nd on CNN.

Jay-Z Feat. Rihanna & Kanye West "Run This Town" Music Video

They are such bad asses. I love it.

I'm Just Wondering...

...Why isn't this girl some designers' muse yet?!

Like, seriously...Rihanna is the epitome of "Dope Like Shit!" Everyone might not be a fan of her music (I don't see why not), but you cannot deny the fact that she is on her way to be iconic in the fashion world. I know she has dabbled in a little business with a few designers but I'm just waiting on something HUGE from her.

I promise you guys will be the first people I tell about it, k?!
