Rihanna hints at 'big news'

Rihanna has hinted at 'big news' on her official Twitter page.
The 24-year-old star is known for her cryptic posts and photographs on the social networking site, with some thought to be secret messages to on-off boyfriend Chris Brown.
Today the Diamonds singer baffled fans with another nudge towards a development in her life.

'Big news coming tomorrow!' she shared with her millions of followers.
Response from the singer's admirers included speculation about musical ventures and a possible marriage to Chris.

'@rihanna We getting married finally babe? Let the world know ;* (sic),' one responded.
'NEW ALBUM? :D RT @rihanna Big news coming tomorrow! (sic)' another asked.
The Barbadian star released her seventh album Unapologetic last month, so news of a further single from her latest musical offering could be awaiting fans.

The exciting gossip could also concern her Diamonds World Tour, after she added a further two UK dates.

As suggested by a fan, the Twitter announcement could be about Rihanna's private life, rather than her career.
Recently the gorgeous star caused a stir when she was spotted out with ex-boyfriend Chris on several occasions.

The couple split after the singer assaulted Rihanna in 2009, leaving her with a badly bruised face.

However, they seem to have patched things up, with Rihanna using Twitter to post pictures of herself with Chris.
It has even been suggested Rihanna is keen to put her musical career on hold in order to start a family with the controversial 23-year-old.

'She asked her record company when the best time would be for her to take off, as she wants a baby,' an insider divulged to British magazine Closer.

'They just stared at her. Everyone was pretty open-mouthed. But she hasn't got any time free in her diary until 2014.'

She can do demure! Rihanna looks picture of innocence as she launches new perfume Nude... but is that necklace a gift from Chris Brown?

The “Unapologetic” songstress made a stunning entrance in an all-white, partially see-through frock as she was on-hand for the continued launch of her third fragrance, Nude By Rihanna.

So what can potential scent purchasers expect from RiRi this time around? Nude offers a much softer aroma than the Barbadian songstress’ first two fragrances, Reb'l Fleur and Rebelle, while featuring hints of pear, Gardenia petals, jasmine Sambac and numerous other feminine hues.

Dishing about her newest perfume, the 24-year-old Barbadian beauty previously told press, "My third fragrance, Nude, is subtle but it is also substantial – it is a fragrance you will want to wear with nothing else," adding, "I cannot get enough of this."

Rihanna - Out Now: US Album Releases

The release of Rihanna’s seventh studio album hasn’t come without a significant fanfare. The Barbadian pop artist is currently in the midst of an ambitious tour, playing seven different cities, in seven different countries, over seven days. As the tour hits London, there’s already been talk of drunken antics and streaking on the official ‘777’ tour plane. Befo

re you get too excited, though, it wasn’t Rhi-Rhi getting her kit off; it would seem that it was just a drunk and frustrated journo.

The album itself, Unapologetic, has been making just as many headlines as the lavish release tour. When Rihanna posted a handwritten tracklisting on Twitter, many an eyebrow was raised to see Chris Brown’s name on there, signifying that the tabloids’ favourite former couple would perform a duet. Many a second eyebrow was also raised, when they saw that the title of the duet was ‘Nobodies Business.’ English language aficionados and domestic abuse experts alike were up in arms at the news, though Rihanna remains both defiant and unapologetic over it.

As for the music, so far, we have had the track ‘Diamonds,’ to give a taster of what to expect on Unapologetic. ‘Diamonds’ has already spent four weeks in the chart, having peaked at number two, which bodes well for album number seven from Rihanna.

Rihanna adds second Manchester Arena date

Rihanna apologises for 777 tour 'disasters'

Rihanna has apologised to journalists following her around the world on her chaotic 777 tour.

The singer is scheduled to play her last of seven shows in seven cities in seven days in New York City on Tuesday night.

Over 200 journalists and fans have followed the Umbrella hitmaker from Mexico City to Toronto, Stockholm, Paris, Berlin, London and finally, the Big Apple.

Many have complained about lack of sleep, food, delays, shaky performances and above all, lack of access to the star.

But Rihanna says she has simply been trying to maintain her health amid the chaos of such a fast-paced tour.

'I know you guys got barely any dirt. But I had to be good. I still sound like s***. It's impossible to spend time with everybody, and I'm sorry I didn't,' she told UsWeekly.

Despite the hiccups Rihanna insists she would do it all again. Only next time she would spend more time with her fans.

'Normally, I'd be back here popping bottles with y'all. I was worried about my body more than partying on the plane, so I had to just sleep whenever I could,' she said. 'I hope you guys had as much fun as I did."

Rihanna Talks Love & Chris Brown in GQ's 2012 " ....

With her brand new album "Unapologetic" set to hit shelves on November 19th, Rihanna pitched in on promotions by covering the 2012 "Men of the Year" issue of GQ magazine.

The 24-year-old performer looked stunning as she donned nothing but Stella McCartney panties and sneakers by Alejandro Ingelmo for the Sebastian Kim shot front page while opening up about topics including relationships to the epic bar fight between Chris Brown and Drake.

A few highlights from Rihanna's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to GQ!

On what she wants in a relationship:
“I like to feel like a woman. I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, like I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead.”

On love:
“Love makes you go places you probably wouldn’t ever go, had it not been for love. But I think everybody still has their limits.”

On how she sees herself:
“Sometimes a person looks at me and sees dollars. They see numbers and they see a product. I look at me and see art. If I didn’t like what I was doing, then I would say I was committing slavery. ”

On the fight between Drake and Chris Brown:
“There’s no proof of that being for my love. That’s my answer to that question.”

Ok we understand the interview about stuff and all but why the pictures?? Role model to younger women?? what are your thoughts about RiRi’s pictures??

Rihanna is featured, looking seductively at the camera in nothing more than a tiny black leather jacket.

 Though the issue may be entitled, "Men of the Year," there are no men in sight on the cover of GQ's December issue. Instead, Rihanna is featured, looking seductively at the camera in nothing more than a tiny black leather jacket.

On Monday (November 12), the "Diamonds" singer tweeted a photo of the sexy cover with the comment, "GQ's man of the year?! When will your fave? #histoRih #GQ."
What are your thoughts???

Rihanna made her way to Facebook's NYC offices today to do a live Facebook interview hosted by Andy Cohen.

She's got a big world tour coming up (with A$AP Rocky), which she named for the 7 countries, 7 days, & 7 performances at secret locations all to celebrate the 7th album. And she's taking press from 84 countries along. And after Rihanna and Andy got past that question, they moved on to some

thing more interesting.

She and Andy played his fun word association game (from his show "Watch What Happens") Spill The Tea...which always reveals some interesting things about the celeb. Here's her thoughts of the first things that come to mind when Andy mentions certain celeb names. She called Jay-Z, Jay Brown & Ty Ty her rocks, she thinks Beyonce is simply gorgeous, and loves Nicki Minaj's Ass. What she said:

Kanye--"Genius."
Jay-"Even more genius."
Mariah-"Her voice is an instrument. It's unreal really."
Beyonce-"Gorgeous and a stab to my ego."
MJB--"Power."
Gaga--"Crazy."
Madonna-"Queen."
Nicki Minaj-"Ass."
Eminem-"The sh*t."
Chris Brown-"He's dope too."

When Andy gave Rih the follow up Q on whether she and Chris are together, she simply said, "No."

A few more highlights:

On naming her album Unapologetic: "It's very true. It's very raw. It's honest. It's storytelling…each song. Given the way it flows on the album, it takes you on a journey and that's just the half of it. That's it. it can only be the way and it can only be one truth."

On how Sandy affected her: "It's difficult to see something so tragic going on and not be able to do anything about it. It gets worse and you can't control mother nature. But it's really sad. Tomorrow I will be donating $100,000 to the food bank and tomorrow I'll be doing a listening arty at 40/40 and everyone has to bring cleaning products for the Daily News Hurricane Relief Fund." (She also donated 1000 sleeping bags to the same Relief Fund today).

On who she still wants to collaborate with: "Definitely Katy Perry. I don't now why we haven't gotten this done yet."

On where she gets her fashion inspiration: "My mood."

On surpassing Eminem on being most Liked person on FB: "I felt sick. (Laughs) I was OK being #2. I couldn't believe it."

On the one thing she wants to do on her bucket list: "Skydive."

On the biggest gig that makes her nervous: "Award shows. I absolutely hate them. It's because I'm not performing for my fans. I feel disconnected and I get super scared and nervous."

Rihanna, at the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

 She's no Angel! Rihanna raunches it up in slit to the thigh corset dress... then grabs at an model's underwear at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

With a host of the world's most beautiful women stalking around in their underwear it was always going to be hard to stand out.

But not only is she one of the biggest pop stars in the world, but Rihanna proved on Wednesday night that she also owns the runway.

The 24-year-old beauty strutted herself at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show  and held her own against their genetically blessed Angels.

Rihanna announces Chris Brown duet

Rihanna recorded a duet with Chris Brown for her new album.

The 24-year-old singer will release her seventh studio album, Unaplogetic, later this month.

Rihanna posted the 15-song tracklist on her Twitter account late last night.

Scrawled on a napkin at number ten is a song called Nobodies Business (sic), featuring Chris.

Rihanna and Chris split in 2009 after he was convicted of assaulting her.

The pair fuelled rumours of reconciliation after he split from girlfriend Karrueche Tran last month.

Appearing to hint at the musical collaboration in a thinly veiled reference to their relationship, Rihanna took to Twitter.

"Aint nobody bidness..... But mine and my baby!" she wrote.

Rihanna has previously worked with Chris on tracks including Birthday Cake and Turn Up The Music.

The new album also features collaborations with rapper Future on a track called Loveeeeeee Song and with Eminem on Numb.

Rihanna will embark on a Diamonds World Tour in March 2013 to support the release of the new album.

Rihanna Reveals ‘Unapologetic’ Tracklisting

Shine bright like a diamond! Rihanna revealed her ‘Unapologetic’ tracklisting, and it’s 14-songs long (17 for the deluxe edition) — and it’s all RiRi. No features here!

Unlike ‘Talk That Talk,’ the song titles don’t indicate the lustful raunch of tracks like ‘Cockiness (Love It).’ However, this is Rihanna we’re talking about — so we doubt she’s toned d

own the sex appeal here. Maybe she’s just hiding it to surprise us.

The first track, ‘Fresh Off the Runway,’ sounds pretty appropriate for the fashion-forward superstar, as does ‘Pour It Up,’ since she loves partying as much as performing. Some of the tracks seem to hint at her tumultuous and controversial romance with Chris Brown: ‘No Love Allowed,’ ‘Nobody’s Business’ and ‘Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary.’

The deluxe edition only boasts three extra tracks, two of which are remixes of her lead single, ‘Diamonds.’ Thankfully, the ‘Diamonds: Executive Platinum Edition‘ also comes with a whole lot of other goodies — a USB drive, fancy artwork — to perhaps justify the steep $250 price tag.

1. ‘Fresh Off the Runway’
2. ‘Diamonds’
3. ‘Numb’
4. ‘Pour It Up’

Rihanna 'frustrated with Brown's game playing'

Rihanna allegedly has doubts about Chris Brown's ability to be faithful.

The pop star is reportedly worried that singer Chris could cheat on her. This comes after Chris allegedly met up with his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran to tie up loose ends after their recent split.

"His game playing is so confusing for Ri," a friend told British magazine Grazia.

"She simply doesn't understand why he needed to see Karrueche."

According to some of Rihanna's friends her relationship with the bad boy rapper has left her with serious psychological scars. Understandably, the star is struggling to trust Chris now they are reportedly back together, given their on-off history.

"When Chris is messing her around she loses all interest in normal life," the friend continued.

"She doesn't look after herself and she acts out. She's always on edge, texting Chris constantly - it's like there's no one else in the world who she'll listen to."

Rihanna and Chris are thought to have rekindled their romance after being spotted together in public several times recently.

The pair split in 2009, after he violently assaulted her.

Rihanna and Chris Brown's late night dates

The 'Diamonds' singer is so busy finishing off her latest album 'Unapologetic' that she barely has time to see Chris - who she recently reconciled with even though he is still on probation for physically assaulting her in 2009 - so the pair have been forced to have their dates at unusual times.

A source told HollywoodLife.com: ''[She's] tied up and busy

 with the album, but she [makes] time for Chris late nights.

''She did one night before - I think, like, Tuesday [09.10.12] I'm not sure but I know she saw him this week.''

Chris recently dumped his girlfriend Karreuche Tran over his ''friendship'' with Rihanna and posted a candid video he named 'The Real Chris Brown' onto his twitter page during which he discusses his romantic dilemma over the two women.

He said: ''I'm stressed out ... when you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it's kinda difficult.

''Is there such thing as loving two people? I don't know if that's possible, but for me, I feel like that.''

Rihanna wants to marry Chris Brown

The 24-year-old 'Diamonds' singer is said have told friends she wants to marry the newly single R&B singer who she recently reunited with after splitting shortly before he was convicted of assaulting her in 2009.

A source close to the popstar told Star magazine: ''No one close to them would be a bit shocked if they suddenly eloped.

''Rihanna has told her close friends point blank -- I would marry Chris.

''She even says she would have never left him if the media scrutiny didn't get so bad. They're passionate, and when they're drunk, they've both made many comments about getting married.''

News that the on/off couple could be set to exchange vows follows reports that Chris has given his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran a generous payout following their split last week.

The 23-year-old 'Yeah 3x' hitmaker broke up with Karrueche over his friendship with Rihanna and to avoid any bad feelings, he offered the model money so she can buy herself a house.

A source said: ''Neither Rihanna nor Chris want to make things harder for her than they already are.

''Chris wants to set her up financially and do right by her - he wants her to stay in his life if possible.''

Oprah Winfrey said she wasn't surprised that Rihanna had reunited with beau Chris Brown

 Oprah Winfrey said she wasn't surprised that Rihanna had reunited with beau Chris Brown, and then she offered a bit of advice to the pop diva. 

As the world watched Rihanna tearfully recount her domestic dispute with Chris Brown, Oprah lent a listening ear. And after being told, Friday night in Houston before her Lifeclass series, that the music superstars had reunited, she said, "I'm not surprised" and offered a bit of advice to RiRi.

She said to EXTRA, " [Rihanna] learned a lesson that she was repeating with Chris Brown — exactly what she needed to learn from her father. I think that if she is prepared to deal with that and is prepared to help him help himself then so be it. I have no judgment about it."

O continued, "That’s why I can sit there and have such a great time with her because I do all my interviews with no judgment whatsoever. If that’s how you choose to lead your life, that's really okay.”

What do you think???

Chris Brown wants to make relationship with Rihanna work

Chris Brown is determined to make a success of his relationship with Rihanna the second time around.

The 'Yeah 3x' hitmaker recently split from girlfriend Karrueche Tran because he couldn't give up his ''friendship'' with his ex Rihanna - who he was convicted of assaulting in 2009 - and friends of Chris say he wants to put things right with the 'We Found Love' singer.

A pal told HollywoodLife.com: ''He's doing s**t right this time and is going to really try to make this s**t work with Rihanna. They got caught up a few times, being drunk and doing some backwards...s**t in the club but, come on, they [are] young and in love.

''People be getting it twisted, thinking my boy a dog. He ain't. Not at all.''

Chris recently posted a candid video he has named 'The Real Chris Brown' onto the internet and in it the musician is seen discussing his romantic dilemma over the two women.

He says in the video: ''I'm stressed out ... when you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it's kinda difficult.

''Is there such thing as loving two people? I don't know if that's possible, but for me, I feel like that.''
