Heading off for some career duties,
Rihanna was spotted leaving her luxury hotel in London, England today (June
26).
Sporting an all-denim ensemble topped off
with a black hat, the “Umbrella” babe looked like she meant business as she
briskly walked past the paparazzi.
Perhaps the reason for her apprehension
was the fact that one of her bodyguards got into a scuffle with a shutterbug in
London on Sunday night (June 24).
It all went down outside the Whiskey Mist
nightclub when one of Ri-Ri’s behemoths cracked a photog in the face when he
refused to move away from Rihanna’s ride.
The bodyguard knocked the paparazzo out
with one punch, and it’s unclear how long it took for him to get up
again.
Making her way to three different
studios, Rihanna was one busy lady on Wednesday night (June 20) in London,
England.
The 24-year-old singer stopped at the
various recording sessions with her large crew as she donned a a pair of
bandana-inspired shorts with a grey tee and sneakers, later tweeting a
self-portrait with the caption “Where have you been?”
As previously reportedby GossipCenter,
Miss Rihanna is set to make her big debut in the new animated film “Happy Smekday!”
The Barbadian beauty will debut her
voice-over work alongside Jim Parsons as a teen forced to escape a sticky
situation with a friendly alien.
After her breakthrough success with
“Battleship,” Rihanna is heading back to the big screen.
This time she’ll make her animated debut
in the upcoming movie “Happy Smekday!”
Based on the 2007 children’s book “The
True Meaning of Smekday,” the Barbadian beauty with star alongside Jim Parsons
as a teen forced to escape a sticky situation with a friendly alien.
Slated to release in 2014, the animated
film will be the “Umbrella” singer’s first voice-over role.
Get ready for a garden party of the
floral variety, because botanical-garland headbands are having a moment. A few
months back we saw Katy Perry and Vanessa Hudgens donning boho-style
head-toppers at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival, and most
recently, stars like Keira Knightley, Kirsten Dunst, and Ashlee Simpson have
been spotted in flowery wreath hair accessories. Wear them paired with your hair
down in flowing waves, or tossed back casually in a braided updo. And now that
Summer is here, expect to have even more occasions for which to wear them, from
outdoor barbecues to weddings by the water.
Spotted out and about in the big town,
Rihanna headed to dinner with a friend at Da Silvano restaurant in New York City
this evening (June 13).
The 24-year-old singer looked hip in an
all-red ensemble that she paired with funky tennis shoes and a black bag while
keeping her head down to avoid the awaiting shutterbugs.
In personal news, it seems as if the
Barbadian beauty's abusive ex-boyfriend Chris Brown is desperate to get her
back.
According to a report put out by the New
York Post, the 23-year-old performer was at the same club as Miss Rihanna
earlier this week and he was apparently admiring her from across the
room.
In spite of the tension, the two never
actually made contact throughout the evening.
Kicking off her week with a wild evening
out, Rihanna was spotted attending a party in New York City last night (June
11).
The "Russian Roulette" songstress hit up
Avenue in Manhattan in a beautiful white summer dress teamed with a pair of
Converse All Stars.
As for the reports that her new Armani ad
features a body double named Jahnassa Aicken, Ri-Ri is said to be
fuming.
Nonetheless, Rihanna's massive Times
Square billboard for her new scent Rebelle looks amazing, and it's 100%
her.
Although several eyebrows were raised
when Rihanna decided to collaborate with Chris Brown on her suggestive single
"Birthday Cake", the singer claims she was surprised by the backlash surrounding
the song.
During an interview with Esquire UK, the
"Talk That Talk" singer defended her decision to work with Brown, saying, "It
never occurred to me how this was going to be a problem. I thought people were
gonna be surprised that we finally did a record together, but I didn't see how
people could think it was a bad thing, you know? In my mind, it was just music .
. . I could never see anything wrong with making music."
When asked to clarify rumors that she and
Brown have secretly been hooking three years after he violently assaulted her,
Rihanna said, "[I worked with Brown] in a completely professional environment. I
mean, if I went back to him [as a girlfriend], then that's a whole different
discussion."
The Barbados born singer then quipped,
"If I ever do, then that's something that y'all have to talk to me about when --
if -- that ever happens. Until then, look at it for what it is."
As for the sexually-based lyrics in
"Birthday Cake", RiRi denies it has anything to do with their current
relationship. "That was the tone before [he] was ever on the record," the
songstress snaps. "You think it was going to be about hopscotch or jump
rope?"
Before wrapping up the interview, Rihanna
continued her irritated venting by adding, "There’s a lot of sh-- y’all can't
get over. Y ' all holding your breath on a lot of stuff that doesn't matter.
When you realize who you live for, and who's important to please, a lot of
people will actually start living. I am never going to get caught up in that.
I'm gonna look back on my life and say that I enjoyed it — and I lived it for
me."
Leather dresses have taken the fashion
world by storm this spring, and, as a result, nearly every female celeb has been
spotted wearing one in recent weeks. A standout in the sea of hide-enhanced
looks was this sleeveless, fire-engine red Monique Lhuillier frock that Emma
Stone donned for a recent appearance on "The Tonight Show." The 23-year-old
actress -- who's been busy promoting "The Amazing Spider-Man" -- perfectly
paired her hot sheath with equally astounding Christian Louboutin cap-toe heels
and matching lipstick.
Making the most of her evening, Rihanna
was spotted hitting up the Grey Stone Manor Night Club in West Hollywood last
night (June 3).
The "Take a Bow" songstress looked snazzy
with bright yellow fingernails as she arrived at the hotspot after spending time
at a friend's apartment.
Earlier in the evening, Ri-Ri opted for a
delicious dinner out at the swanky Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica,
sporting a pink hat and teddy bear-themed ensemble.
Rihanna recently returned to Los Angeles
from New York City, where she spent some quality time with her cancer-stricken
grandmother Clara "Dolly" Brathwaite.
During their visit, Rihanna tweeted a
picture along with the caption, "Came to NY, just for this moment right
here!"
This week, the "Russian Roulette" singer
will begin her big transition to London, England where she’ll live for a few
months over the summer.
With her new movie "Bel Ami" set to hit
theaters on June 9th, Rihanna garnered herself a little added exposure by
covering the July 2012 issue of British Esquire magazine.
The 32-year-old actress sizzles in Agent
Provocateur for the Matt Irwin shot front page while dishing about everything
from her girl crush to where she'd like to be in five years.
On making headlines:
"The attention is something I've learned
to ignore. This is what I do. I live my life and they document it. A lot of
things I don't care for people to know, but it just is. That's what it’s
become."
On making a song with ex Chris
Brown:
"I thought people were gonna be surprised
that we finally did a record together, but I didn't see how people could think
it was a bad thing, you know? In my mind, it was just music."
On being determined to settle down in
five years:
"'Hopefully I'll have a man by then. I've
gotta start there, right? But how far I go [with my career] is God's plan. I'm
just following through my destiny. I don't think it ever ends. It just
evolves."
