Rihanna Readys New Single Again

Rihanna and her team have been having some difficulty choosing the next single from her "Rated R" album. First the word I received is they were going with "Photographs" for the next last single. That was on top of the fact that they leaked the news that there would be no more singles from the album and another (album)was in the works.

Ain't Gaga coming out with a Latin flavored song for her next single???
Other than the fact that she came out with this song over a year ago and then put it on her new album and didn't even bother to change it up some...

Rihanna PSA

Rihanna is being all positive for a new PSA. No seriouly tho, she partnered with DKMS to raise awareness about the leukemia and encourage her fans to donate bone marrow to help save the lives of those affected.



To bad I just see it as her trying to save face for dropping the ball on this  CLICK HERE...

And in true unHollywood form she performed a PG-13 version of "Rude Boy" for the kids...SMH



Oh and I also heard she may be getting married, but I won't report that cuz I don't believe it yet...



.

Ahhh 50!!!

Oh great, 50 cent has an opinion and is speaking out publicly. Just what we need. According to “MTV UK” he had the following to say...

“I would marry Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Rihanna in Africa, I’d have 3 wives! And I would avoid wearing condoms and have really big families!” the rapper said.
And on the subject of GaGa and Beyoncé he got very vocal about what he saw as a double standard about sexual imagery in videos saying, “I think it’s hot [the Telephone video]. But there’s a shot in the video in the diner that’s just breasts. And it looks great, but if I shot the same shot in my music video, they would make me edit that immediately.”
He added “Even if I had someone who was recognizable female talent that was part of the project, they wouldn’t allow that to go. They would think it was you taking advantage of a girl for marketing purposes or whatever.”

When asked why he thought that was he replied, “It’s their personal perception of your intentions of how you utilize it. Like ‘it’s Britney bitch’ nobody has a problem with that. But if I say ‘it’s Fifty bitch’ everyone’s like oh my god! You got to edit that.”

Crazy and pretty unHollywood if you ask me. And wasn't he the one that DID'T kiss Beyonce when he had the chance???

Rihanna Celebrates Her #1

Rihanna was spotted last night celebrating Rude Boy’s #1 spot on the Billboard at Club Playhouse in Hollywood.

And in other new related to this song, according to Rihanna’s production label, SRP Records, "Rude Boy" is likely to be the last single from her unsuccessful "Rated R" album. From what I'm hearing and previously reported Rihanna is set to release a lighter more up-tempo album this summer.

What Do You Think???

Rihanna Hits #1

Rihanna has much cause for celebration today; her new single "Rude Boy" finally hit the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 – her label have announced. The song becomes the 22 year old’s 5th solo #1 on the chart, and her 6th overall, when including her feature on T.I.’s ‘Live Your Life’ which I don't. What’s more, Rihanna becomes the female artist with the most #1’s on the chart since 2000 S.O.S., Umbrella, Disturbia, Take A Bow, Live Your Life, Rude Boy.

Did Rihanna Meet The Parents???

via theyf

While Chris Brown was bringing his new video vixen chick home to VA this weekend, Rihanna left Berlin early to meet her boo Matt Kemp and his parents in their hometown in Arizona.
Matt was hosting

his Ante Up For Autism event to benefit children with autism–like his own younger brother. So how did the meet and greet go? According to E!:
“Matt was happy she came,” says an inside source on Rihanna making it to the event. “It was an awesome show of support.”
Besides the other pro baseballers in the house Saturday evening, Kemp’s family also attended, and they met Rihanna for the first time. “Rihanna fit right in as if they all knew each other. It was comfortable.”
Well isn’t that special. The fundraiser raked in over $170,000 and was full of Vegas-style gaming and cocktails, a live and a silent auction and dinner and dancing. Sweet.

I Can't Help But Think: Monica And Rihanna,

 

So... Who Is Gonna Call Dibs On This Hair Style??? 

Tho Monica's looks like one of the Three Stooges

FashionSmashin: Rihanna

Rihanna, walked the red purple carpet at Echo Awards, in Berlin, Germany in this outfit, a green jumpsuit from Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2010 Couture Collection and Christian Louboutins. The "Umbrella" singer looked very Hollywood. No hate but it reminds me of the yellow choir robes my mom used to wear in the 80s...

Rihanna And Ke$ha Perform

Ke$ha and Rihanna performed at the Echo Awards in Berlin, Germany. Rih did "Rude Boy" in which she was joined on stage by two robots, like in Chris Brown's "Tranform Ya" and BEP "Imma Be" videos. To me they were pretty useless, they groped her and at the end they jizzed on her. Great way to live up t the whole "I want to be a role model" statement.
Ke$ha however performed "Tik Tok" and did a pretty good job, though it was her normal routine for this song (with exception of the awkward "dance break in the middle). I can say one thing, in comparison Rihanna did a betta job at entertaining and not boring the crowd. But on it's own her performance was nothing special...

Rihanna New Album???

Sean Garret recently talked about Rihanna’s forthcoming album:

According to Garrett, the project is already underway. “I got a record on Rihanna’s new album,” reveals the hitmaker. “She’s got some surprises.”
After a tumultuous 2009, the singer is back in a good place with her fifth studio album. “The record I gave her was very, very positive, very big. It’s a f*cking smash,” adds Garrett. “I gave her a humongous radio record. It’s just so infectious. It’s about getting past any drama and just being happy to be alive. It’s an encouraging record. It feels great and it’s got great tempo.”
Like some fans, he was surprised to hear the dark theme surrounding RiRi’s latest effort. “Whenever I think of Rihanna, it makes me happy. To be honest, I wasn’t really that excited about hearing her in a dark zone. I love Rihanna for being that girl… She’s like the lil’ fantasy chick—nice brown skin, beautiful woman with a Caribbean swagger that’s ridiculous.”

The man who’s penned hits for Beyoncé and Usher is confident his contribution will keep Rihanna at the top of the charts. “I made sure that it was bulletproof. It should be a single unless something crazy happens. It’s hot as fuck. I think it’s a record that’s gonna stay on the radio for a long time.”

I will say this, coming out with a new album so soon after that last album doesn't spell good news. Her fans will eat this album up, though they should.People were just not feeling her dark side. But is it a good idea to  pull a do over? Ignoring who you said you are now for what the people want.

Someone Is Mad And Talking UPDATED

The mother of 6 year old Jasmina is a little more than pissed off that Rihanna hasn't contacted her since the death of her daughter...

Not Hollywood At All...

UPDATED:

Well reports are now going around the she did not write that tweet, however she is still hurt that Rihanna did not contact her when her daughter passed. She said she also stated her disapointed that no other celeb reached out to her, other than the Obamas...

As I said before, not very Hollywood if you ask me. It seemed that as soon as people started to see her for what she put out there(a lose girl) she used this girl for positive press.

This Is What People Had To Say:

The mother of Jasmina Anema, the 6-year-old girl who died of leukemia in January, is distancing herself from a Twitter post questioning Rihanna’s motives in befriending her daughter – but says it would have been nice to hear from the singer when her daughter passed away.
“Although I did not Tweet this particular one, I do wish that Rihanna had responded to me on Jasmina’s passing. It would have meant the world to me.” “Jasmina adored her,”she writes. “Rihanna was so kind to come and visit her. I just felt hurt not hearing anything from her. Or of any other celebrities for that matter. The only ones who reached out to me personally during this time of grief were the Obamas.”

Rihanna's "Rude Boy" Director Speaks

As earlier reported here, many were talking that ish about Rihanna's new video for "Rude Boy" and comparing it to M.I.A. Boyz. The video's director Melina Matsoukas claims the was not her intent.

Here's Her Hollywood Statement On The Matter:

“I mean, you know that the video lends from a lot of Rasta culture and ’80s Atari vibe and that’s what we went with too,” Matsoukas said. “And then afterward I was like, ‘Oh, this sucks. They tore down my video.’ And her video’s great too. It definitely wasn’t trying to rip anybody off at all — it was just our approach and the animation stuff, it had a similar vibe. We’ve seen that before with Grace Jones and Andy Warhol, so I don’t know if anybody can lay claim to anything. We’re all inspired by similar elements and it came together in that way.”

Rihanna Hearts Monica

TGJ recently got an interview R&B singer Monica and this is what she had to say about her first encounter with pop singer Rihanna.

TGJ: Who would you say have been the nicest and rudest celebrities you’ve met to date?
Monica: I was really surprised, Rihanna and I use the same makeup artist sometimes, and I called her phone the other day and I was talking to Myla and she said ‘Oh my God we’re listening to you’ and I said who, and I heard somebody with an accent say [does an accent] ‘who are you talking to, that can’t be Monica…. I love her, oh my God’ and we talked and it was heart-warming for one to see someone that’s a of a superstar status enjoy my music and is not afraid to say ‘look, I love your work, I love what you do, I love your voice’. I think it’s important for all of us to stay humble enough to pay respect to those who came before us in any way and that was very heart warming for me.

Pretty Hollywood If You Ask Me...

Rihanna Talks New Album And Aol Session

Rihanna sat down with MTV News to talk about her plans for her next studio project.

“‘Rated R’, I love the sound of it, in terms of the bass,” Rihanna explained to MTV Korea. “I really like the bottom, the grime of it. But if I were to combine that with more energetic, up-tempo pop records, then I think that will be a happy marriage. And that’s where we’ll probably go next.”

Yeah and the fact that I don't hear "Rude Boy" on the radio as much anymore, many agree it's been time for a new direction...

Behind Look At Rihanna

Check out this behind the scenes look at Rihanna’s video for "Rude Boy" directed by Melina.
Hate to say it but it kinda ends up defeating the purpose of this inside look video. It basically highlights the fact that Rihanna is virtually a puppet. I mean "pose boards" for her to copy, really???

I see she's still drinking like a fish...

SideBar: Melina and the editor need raises, cuz they pieced that mess together as best they could to make it look like she could dance...and it still looked bad

Rihanna Does Ellen

Rihanna performance of new single ‘Rude Boy’ on The Ellen Degeneres Show.

Is it just me, or does something about this performance scream 11th grade talent show???

Rihanna New Movie Role???

Via Bossip:

BOSSIP recently learned that Rihanna has been cast in her first starring role! The only catch… the folks behind the film aren’t all that confident in RihRih’s acting.
Rihanna’s big role is for a film called About Face, which revolves around a fashion designer who has to change her ways to win over the man of her dreams, not unlike the Billy Dee Williams and Diana Ross classic Mahogany. Here’s the hitch:

“No one is sure she has any acting skills. She’s a bit stiff and has to learn how to emote more,” a source tells Star. “She’s been asked to quietly take acting classes. No one wants another Madonna on their hands — someone who can sing but can’t act!”

Hate to break it to the producers of this one, but Rihanna can’t do either. Neither can Madonna if you want to be all the way real about it. Then again, Rihanna actually might make a decent actress, goodness knows we’ve seen her play the role enough…

First off this doesn't seem like a good idea at all, and whoever the hell said Madonna can sing, should be shot. She can't even connect with her fans via her performance and she's gonna star in a movie?
 Even her die hard fans are shaking their heads at this...

Rihanna KittyKats It Up In South Korea And Cuts Cake...

Rihanna hit the red carpet today in Seoul, South Korea at Coex mall. She wore a leopard print hoodie with a tail. She's their promoting "Rated R" album, and signed autographs for her fans.


Do You Like, Or Is This Too Hollywood???

Rihanna's "Rude Boy" Video

Hurry Up And Watch Before They Snatch It Down...




If that one don't work try this one:




LOL at her trying to dance. But overall the Melina directed video was a pretty hot video. It really gets good at the 1:50 mark. though I can't say this is a home run for the "Umbrella" singer, but it's not a flop either. The dancing if taken in a comical way works for this video. However I think she was trying to be serious and sexy, but the stiff grinding and posing does not accomplish that. I will say this though, I wouldn't want my daughter singing this song...
But it does get betta at the 1:50 mark, trust me. Many are comparing it to M.I.A...
"kittyKat" anyone???
