Rihanna Is All Business When She Steps Out For Pizza

We hold Rihanna near and dear to our hearts for oh so many reasons. Her catchy songs are certainly big part of her appeal, as are her outspoken and often hilarious outbursts on Twitter. But we can’t think of Rihanna without her unique (some would say “risque”) sense of style coming to the front of our mind. She spent most of 2011 pantsless, toured the world in a bikini this winter, and routinely ventures out with little more than Saran Wrap for a shirt. We expect her to wear garter-belts and bandana tube top to a damn christening, and we love her for it! So that’s why we’re a little surprised when she arrived at L.A.’s Pizzeria Mozza last night looking like she came straight from a job interview. Why so formal, Riri? Going for pizza requires business casual attire at max! But we have to admit, the whole pencil skirt and blouse look is really working for her. First rule of show-biz: always leave ‘em wanting more. Sometimes less skin can be sexier. Check out the gallery below for more!

Chris Brown Is Going To Perform At The Grammys

Chris Brown is returning to the scene of the crime, so to speak. The singer is scheduled to perform at the Grammys on Sunday, February 12, says a source, three years after he assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna following a pre-Grammy party in 2009. He hasn’t attended the event since, but that changes this year. Interestingly enough, RiRi is on the lineup to hit the stage too. It wouldn’t be the first time the two cross paths, however, as they’ve been spotted at the same nightclubs on a couple of occasions this year. Comments? Thoughts? It’s still a bit of a raw subject, isn’t it?

Rihanna Remembers Her Pants But Forgets Her Shirt While Clubbing In L.A.

Rihanna really switched it up when she went out clubbing last night. The often-pantsless singer actually remembered to wear her jeans *gasp*, but showed up at L.A.’s Greystone Manor wearing next to nothing on top! Obviously Riri looked sizzling as ever, and capped off the daring ensemble with a badass leather hat over her newly blond tresses. Maybe the military topper is a leftover from her Battleship wardrobe?

Apparently her former boyfriend Chris Brown was also out partying at Greystone Manor last night, marking it the second time in weeks that the two were spotted in the same venue. But despite the rumors that the two are reconnecting, sources say that the exes didn’t interact. Check out the gallery below for more of Rihanna’s red-hot club-wear in the gallery below!

Rihanna’s New Blond ‘Do — Or Don’t? Tell Us!


As if Rihanna doesn’t already keep us guessing with her bikini Twitpics and pant-free ensembles, Ri Ri surprised her fans last night by revealing her first magazine cover of 2012 while tweeting a picture of her as what? You guessed it, a blondie.

Surprised fans and friends hit Rihanna with a load of questions about the hair change. The pop star confirmed she dyed her actual locks blonde and added a few extensions for the Elle shoot. “Bleach + weave #WERQ” she tweeted in response. Now the Barbados princess has rocked more than a couple of OMG ‘dos in the past. We all remember the fire engine red of 2011 don’t we? So what do you think of the pop star as Goldie Locks? Definite “Do” or “Oh-na-na”?

Celine Dion Flashes Her Audience In A Super Short Dress

First we were a little shocked at seeing these pix of Celine Dion strutting the stage in a short dress that would even make Tina Turner blush. But then we realized that she probably has a lot of competition with other “flashy” entertainers like Rihanna and Lady Gaga. A diva’s got to do what a diva’s got to do, we suppose! Celine debuted her new look at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival in Trelawny, Jamaica last night. And from the looks of it, we’re guessing the front few rows got a little more than they bargained for as Celine jack-knifed across the boards. We don’t know what she was singing, but we kinda diggin’ this new soulful Celine. Check out more in the gallery below!

Rihanna Gets Hard-Core With Knuckle Tats And Danny Trejo

Rihanna just wants to make it crystal clear how hard core she’s become. Sometimes a parade of microscopic bikinis and a gun tattoo are not enough to convey the level of hard core a lady is hoping to achieve. Might we suggest white-ink knuckle tats and Machete star Danny Trejo? The man’s name almost always appears next to a type of gigantic knife, by far the most hard-core weapon there is. Top five, at least.

Last night RiRi tweeted her cred while boozing it up at famed tattoo artist Mark Mahoney’s Hollywood parlor. “All these bitches screaming that 2pac back ♫ #THUGLIFE,” she posted along with her homage, later adding “I #LOVE my new tattoo!!! Can’t wait for yall to see it!!! I got it in ‘Tibetan’ this time!!! #approved.” So Rihanna got even more tattoos that we haven’t seen yet? And they’re in “Tibetan,” the most hard-core language there is? OK, we’re calling it: gigantic face tat before 2013 and best friends with….let’s say…Mickey Rourke? Yeah, Mickey Rourke.

Chris Brown Denies Rihanna Dating Rumors, Thankfully

You can uncross your fingers and keister your rabbit’s foot, you guys. According to the “Tonight” singer’s rep, Chris Brown and Rihanna are not dating, but rather merely friends. We should hope so! These two have come too far and taken up too many existentially depressing blog inches to turn back the clock now!

The rumors of their illicit canoodling were fueled this weekend when RiRi and CB were both spotted at nightclub Greystone Manor in Hollywood around the same time. But until we see Chris Brown and Rihanna ride away from a club in an elaborate horse-drawn carriage to the strains of Pachelbel’s “Canon,” we’re going to assume these kinds of run-ins are pure accidental. If that doesn’t convince you, keep in mind that Chris’ current lady friend, model Karrueche Tran, was also in attendance at the bar on Sunday, making the likelihood of a late-night rendezvous between exes slim to none. We like those odds.

Rihanna To Perform With Coldplay At The Grammy Awards, Tweets Celebratory Bikini Pictures

So we already know that LL Cool J is hosting the Grammys this year, but this latest bit of news has eclipsed even that announcement. Rihanna tweeted a fantastic little bombshell just a few hours ago, writing, “#RihannaNavy My friend ColdPlay and I will be sharing the stage for a performance at this years Annual Grammy Awards! #BONKERS.” That really is going to be banana bonkers. We’re guessing they’ll be singing Princess of China? Either way, Rih seemed to be in a celebratory mood afterwards, tweeting up a storm of super hot pictures, and some with the hashtag “Paradise.” Nice little Coldplay reference there, mamma. Plus, she really is in paradise. Rihanna’s also been tweeting plenty of amazing swimwear photographs, and these latest shots are no different. Click after the jump for some more serious bikini sexiness just like this one, courtesy Rihanna’s Twitter feed. We’re going to hit a treadmill.

Rihanna Tweets Bikini Photos, Strict Vacation Itinerary

Rihanna has a lot planned for the 11-month-long beach vacation she’s apparently taking, and she doesn’t mind getting up bright and early to get it all done. “Wake…Bake…#CAKE,” the “You Da One” singer proclaimed today alongside a photo of her booty in yet another monokini. RiRi later tweeted a frontal view of her metallic suit for a fan, adding, “just for u.” You know it’s a great day when Rihanna bikini photos are only the second most scandalous thing the singer posts in a a tweet. Let’s just keep this good thing going until Spring Break, shall we?

Rihanna Gets Super Sexy In Armani Ads, With And Without Pants

It’s no surprise that Rihanna posed for her new Armani print ads after stripping down to her lingerie. We expect no less from our rarely shy Riri. But what is jarring is that she also was snapped wearing pants! The singer posed for Armani in equally steamy pics last September, donning a blonde wig and no pants. The fashion brand must have somehow coached her through her well-documented fear of trousers. And we gotta say, it’s a good look! Rihanna might have missed her calling as a Levi’s model. Check out more sexy pix of her with (and without) in the gallery below!
