Rihanna Rocks Risque Duds For "Rude Boy" Music Video

I guess we shouldn't be so surprised by Rihanna's crazy outfits, but some of this stuff looks like it grew legs and walked straight out of Lady Gaga's closet!

Rihanna's music video for "Rude Boy" won't debut until later this week, but we did get our hands on a few preview shots, and it's pretty clear that the R&B princess isn't showing any signs of toning down her fierce sense of fashion.

Rihanna recently discussed the inspiration behind the new video, saying, "A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. "Rude Boy" is more playing along the lines from my roots. We used a lot of color, but also the costumes were very Jamaican dancehall queen type."

But what's with the zebra? SO Gaga. Then again, this look isn't so bad:

Rihanna Switches It Up For The Afterparties

After rocking a long boring nude gown on the red carpet, Rihanna decided to slip into something a little shorter and sexier for the Grammy afterparties last night. We snapped the R&B starlet leaving Guys & Dolls in this hot little number, and we would give her a 10 if it weren't for that hair!

Rihanna Doesn't Disappoint

We always expect cutting-edge from Rihanna and she didn't disappoint tonight on the Grammy's red carpet.

Ri was looking like a stunning diva tonight in winter white -- I love how she gave the diva look to match! And her hair defies gravity!

She also picked up the Grammy award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for Run This Town in conjunction with Jay-Z and Kanye West -- congrats!

Ellen Looks Hotter Than Rihanna!

Rihanna stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday (it'll air on Monday) and she was wearing a most interesting rainbow-colored, 3D dress.

But I was less interested in Rihanna's dress and more shocked by the hostess' choice of clothing -- Ellen wasn't wearing her trademark slacks and sneakers but some skinny jeans and thigh-high patent leather boots!

I'm a huge fan of her usual preppy-cool style but we'd like to see her rock this sexy look more often. She just turned 52 on Tuesday and she looks hot!

Rihanna Says She's Still Single, Heading To Grammys Solo

rihannasinglegrams.jpg Not only has Rihanna revealed that she's going stag to the Grammys, but she also claims that she's single!

Despite being photographed getting cozy with LA Dodgers star Matt Kemp earlier this month in Cabo San Lucas, Rihanna told 104.3 MY FM's Valentine in the Morning, "I'm going to the Grammys alone, as always. Even when I was in a relationship, I always have gone alone." After a pause, Rihanna added, "I'm still single, if that's what you really want to ask!"

When asked about her recent romantic vacay with Kemp, (where he was photographed grabbing her buns!) Rihanna simply said, "It was a blast!" She also chatted about her nomination for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with Jay-Z and Kanye West for "Run This Town." Does she think they're going to win? "We hope we bring home the bacon, but if not, it's great that it was nominated," she told the radio show.

Rihanna's New Beau Has A History Of Violence!

Girl needs to stop picking these types of men!

Almost a year ago, Rihanna was attacked by her boyfriend Chris Brown. Now there's a report on Star accusing Matt Kemp, who plays for the LA Dodgers, of having a history of violence toward women.

Actress Felisha Terrell filed a restraining order against the baseball player in June 2008 - the two had been living together, and she said he was "threatening, intimidating and stalking" her. She adds, "He is violent and I am afraid."

So are Ri's friends! One of them tells Star: "It's almost as if she has a dark side of her own... an attraction to bad boys."

Be careful!

X17 XCLUSIVE - Rihanna's Still Rockin' Out As A Blonde

Rihanna was spotted leaving a recording studio in West Hollywood yesterday evening, and we're bummed to see the songbird still sporting that blonde mess atop her head. I love her music and (for the most part) her style, but this bleached mop is SO 2009. Time to step into a new decade, darling!

Rihanna Goes Back To Baldi

Last night we spotted Rihanna returning to the restaurant she had a date with Matt Kemp at last week, but instead of being with her boyfriend, she ate with a girlfriend.

We asked Rihanna how she was doing, and she politely responded, "I'm good, how are you?" Seems like with a new album and a new man, she's doing very good, indeed!

Rihanna Slips In The Back Door Of Voyeur

Rihanna flipped her curly blonde locks as she made her way to the back door of club Voyeur last night, an entourage trailing behind her.

Although she may have mingled with the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson at the club, it didn't look as if new boyfriend Matt Kemp was around!

But maybe he snuck in the back door, too!

Rihanna Tells W How She Got Her Life Back

Rihanna graces the cover of the February issue of W Magazine, and even though I wish she'd change her hair color, she still looks absolutely amazing in these shots. Rihanna chats with the publication about her new album, Chris Brown and her image, and even though she's received criticism for waiting too long to speak out, she does make for an interesting read.

So what made her decide to finally come forward and talk about her horrific beating, which occurred nearly a year ago? “Not talking was a big thing for me," she says. "I’m glad I didn’t talk to people, because I was able to deal with things in my own way, without saying the wrong things or giving people the wrong impression.”

On her album being like therapy for her, Rihanna says, “It was really personal; it was from me in the most authentic way. It’s like a movie, in that when I was making this album, every day I was in a different mood. Sometimes I was pissed off, sometimes I was miserable, and every song brings out a different story.” Rihanna continues, “I started to go crazy after about a month in the house, so I went back to work, and the mic was my therapist. With the mic, there were no negative comments, no negative energy.”

Though Rihanna is trying to push the negative energy out of her life, she is able to reflect on her relationship with Chris Brown with a renewed sense of clarity. “There were control issues, insecurity,” she says. “When people are insecure they become very controlling and they can get very aggressive and in turn abusive. It doesn’t have to be physical. Like they would say bad stuff to you to make you feel lesser than them just so they would have control in the relationship. It takes a big toll on your emotions and on your everyday life. It changes you.”

Rihanna And Matt Kemp More Than "Just Friends"

rihannamattmyhouse.jpg

Although Matt's rep denied that the pair were more than "just friends", it sure seems like that!

Rihanna and her "ass-grabbing" Dodger had dinner at Giorgio Baldi last night before heading over to MyHouse.

Perhaps in retaliation to the fake Match.com ad which features a Matt Kemp look-a-like saying "I'm just looking for a chick with a dude's haircut," who wears clothes that show their nips," Rihanna tried to make her butch 'do a little more girly by curling her blond locks and we don't see a nip in sight. Although she's got no problem showing off some thigh!

Rihanna's New Man Matt Kemp Pokes Fun At Her In Match.com Parody


Rihanna's new "ass-groping", ball-playing man, the Dodgers' Matt Kemp called her a whiny-voiced "chick with a dude's haircut" in a new Match.com ad parody on FunnyOrDie.com. (Can't they think of a new theme?)

Kemp said, ""I'm just looking for a chick with a dude's haircut that likes sharing umbrellas...ellas." He continued, "I'm drawn to women with whiny voices who wear clothes that show their nips."

He added that he's looking for "with a lot of emotional baggage. Maybe someone whose past relationships have forced them to set the bar really low." Too soon!

But RiRi wasn't the only one he made a dig at. "I don't know if that matters, but I don't hit chicks," he said. "Because, you know, hitting chicks, that's not cool. I don't do it," before muttering "Chris Brown" as he walked offscreen. You know, just in case we didn't know who he was talking about.

Either Rihanna's got a great sense of humor, or she already dumped him and this is his retaliation!

Rihanna And Lady Gaga Top Most Stylish List!

rihannagagastylish.jpg

No surprise here!

MTV has announced their list of 2009's most stylish stars and, naturally, Lady Gaga and Rihanna are right at the top! Lady Gaga has used fashion to promote herself from the beginning, but who would've thought last year that Rihanna would be looking so chic throughout most of '09?

Curiously, the others on their list are Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner and the Jonas Brothers. WTF! I love the two Taylors, but they're the most boring dressers!

And the Jonas bros? Random! None of those celebs belong in the same category as Rihanna and Gaga!
