Maybe there is something to those pesky, percolating and pervasive rumors of the secret relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown, thanks to some strong and convincing photographic evidence indicating that that they are rendezvousing in St. Tropez. The rumors won’t quit and they’re likely to shift into overdrive now.

While the majority of the female population is going bats-crazy over the book ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ (and the impending movie that’s causing social media to explode over who should play Christian Grey), there’s one girl in particular who couldn’t care less about the hype. And that girl is Rihanna, who probably thinks she’s cool for not liking the book. Uh, RiRi, we turned up our nose at this book

Rihanna revels in her dramatic love life, but part of why there’s so much drama is because she’s scared of something serious. The singer revealed that her love for Chris Brown while they were together makes it much more difficult for her to let anyone in now.

Rihanna may be mourning her grandmother, but it was as though she channeled her grief into a spellbinding performance at the Barclaycard Wireless Festival in the U.K., delivering a medley of hits and closing Sunday night’s show on July 8. The weather was not cooperating, at all, as rain fell from the skies, but most attendees stayed to enjoy RiRi while sopping wet.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rihanna. The singer is mourning the loss of her beloved grandmother, Clara Dolly Braithwaite, who died this weekend. She passed away from cancer.

Rihanna works fast, releasing almost an album a year. It seems like every fall, a new RiRi is on the horizon. Looks like the controversial and newly tatted (with a foot falcon) pop star is already working on album No. 7 in London as we speak. She dropped ‘Talk That Talk,’ which has spawned several hits, last November and she’s ready to strike while the iron is hot again.

That’s what we call a “big get.” Oprah Winfrey revealed via Twitter that Rihanna will be the subject of one of her riveting ‘Next Chapter’ interviews.

Death. Taxes. Rihanna showing skin. Those are the few sure things in life. RiRi loves to drop trou, drop top or just not wear anything at all. The ‘Where Have You Been’ singer debuted a larger-than-life billboard in New York’s heavily trafficked Times Square, promoting her new scent Rebelle. Guess what? She’s naked as the day she was born. We know, we were shocked too. Not!

Rihanna was spotted running in a scene from the filming of her next film, ‘End of the World.’ A pic from Splash News shows RiRi in jean shorts and a loose sweater among a group of her fellow actors, including Michael Cera, Jason Segel, James Franco and Emma Watson.

Drake isn’t the only pop star to see himself celebrated by being permanently etched on a fan’s skin via a tattoo. His reported ex and ‘Take Care’ duet partner Rihanna tweeted a photo of a fan who shared her own personal RiRi tatt. While the Drake fan tatted his name on her forehead, which is much more dramatic and extreme, the Rihanna fan certainly demonstrated her love.

Rihanna‘s film debut ‘Battleship’ was a hit overseas, but in the U.S.? Eh, not so much. In the film, RiRi plays no-nonsense weapons handler Cora Raikes, which means she had limited dialogue. Like, 68 lines worth of limited and not of the ‘Hasta la vista, baby’ or ‘Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn’ sort. There were no stand-the-test-of-time quotes that will be uttered for years to come courtes

Rihanna goes topless on the July cover of the U.K. edition of Esquire. A topless RiRi? That’s pretty standard. Photo shoots, mag covers, dinners, you name it.
