Rihanna just loves showing off her bod!
The sexy songstress is covering the cover of Complex magazine ... not once, but seven times!
When asked about how she's handling her relationship with Chris Brown, RiRi tells the mag:
“I held back before. I didn’t show a lot of myself. I was very guarded. I needed to be open and free and fearless. Basically say, ‘F**k it.’ What’s the worst that can happen? They’ll hate me? They’ve done that before.â€
As for her current writing style, she adds:
"I was tired of angry love songs. Love doesn’t always have to be about breakups, and ‘We’re never going to be together again.’ It could be sweet. It could be, ‘Hell yeah! We’re diamonds!’â€

What a good looking family!
Nick Lachey and wife Vanessa made their way through LAX airport with infant son Camden yesterday, and parenthood clearly agrees with the couple, who were all smiles for their travel day.
The 98 Degrees singer and his brood took a weekend trip back to his native Cincinnati, where they spent some time with his family and enjoyed all the local traditions.
Based on the new mom's tweets, it sounds like the whole clan is splitting their time evenly between L.A. and Ohio, which is what they said their plan was following the birth of their baby boy last year. "Back in Cincy!! Taking down our Christmas decorations and eating Skyline chili coneys.. of course!" she wrote.
The pair bought a home next to Lachey's brother Drew in October of last year, and they seem to be enjoying the West Coast and the Midwest equally.
"[Vanessa has] really growing to love Cincinnati, it's obviously not L.A. or New York but it's a great place to raise a family. It's where my family is and it's kind of her family now, and we're loving it. I love the idea of raising kids in the Midwest, where the values are good and I love the idea of raising my kids next to my brother. That's kind of that brother dream. We're gonna grow up and have houses next to each other. Our kids are going to play in the back yard together," Nick recently told Access Hollywood.
Raising your baby away from the Hollywood craziness is a good idea!

Justin Timberlake is back with the new single "Suit and Tie" ... and we're obsessed!
The 30-year-old newly married singer is putting his acting career on hold in the hopes of climbing the music charts once again. This is JT's first single since 2006.
Jay-Z is featured on the infectious track. The single will be included on Timberlake's upcoming album The 20/20 Experience due out later this year.
Wonder if JT's wife Jessica Biel is lovin' his new sound, too? We'll guess the answer is yes!

The 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards were hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on Sunday evening, and from jabs at Anne Hathaway's underwear flashing incident to Jodie Foster coming out of the closet, it ended up being quite an eventful night.
Not only did Ben Affleck make up for his Oscar snub with wins for Best Director and Best Motion Picture for Argo, but Girls nabbed two awards (including best TV series) and Les Miserables went home with three, including Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical.
There were some daring dresses (hello J. Lo and Kate Hudson!) and some total fashion fails (sorry Jessica Chastain!), but overall there was plenty of couture to oogle when Hollywood's hottest leading ladies hit the red carpet ... check out the gallery below and click thru for the complete winner's list!

Thanks to The Hunger Games she's in one of the most bankable film franchises in Hollywood, she's only 22 years old and she's already been nominated for two Oscars, and yes, she gets to make out with Bradley Cooper and walk away with the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her role in Silver Linings Playbook. Whew!
And that's not all! Not only did Jennifer Lawrence wow on the red carpet in this persimmon-colored Dior Haute Couture gown, but her acceptance speech was hands down the best one this evening.
When she took the stage, Jen quipped, “Oh, what does it say, 'I beat Meryl [Streep, a fellow nominee]?' Jokes aside I am so honored to be a part of this. David, thank you for believing in me and giving me a chance. There’s a reason why so many actors have thanked you from this stage. You are simply the best. Bradley, you’re incredible, and you made me better every single day. Harvey, thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today. And the entire cast of this movie, you guys are the heartbeat of this film and it wouldn’t be the same without you guys. Because then there wouldn’t be a cast. And I want to thank my family. Mom, people said you were crazy to believe in me, and you did it anyway. Dad, you taught me to laugh and that has been my salvation through all of this. I want to thank my brothers, Ben and Blaine, I wouldn’t be who I am today without you being mean to me and then really supportive and loving constantly. CAA, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, IDPR, thank you.â€
However, one person in Hollywood who wasn't a fan of Jen's speech was none other than Lindsay Lohan, who tweeted, "Words cannot express how much I LOVE Kristen Wiig. And no1 should ever mess with a legend, such as Meryl Streep." Um ... I guess the same could be said of Elizabeth Taylor, so has anyone mentioned that to Lilo? Or are we all going to pretend that Liz & Dick never happened?

She looks great, but not as good as she did in that stunning white Ralph Lauren dress at the People's Choice Awards the other night!
Taylor Swift struck a pose at the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, and she wore a Donna Karan Atelier dress, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Rene Caovilla shoes, and an Oroton clutch.
Taylor was nominated tonight for Best Original Song for “Safe and Sound†from The Hunger Games soundtrack, but she lost out to Adele, whose tune for "Skyfall" took home the prize. Better luck at the Grammys, perhaps?

While accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards, Jodie Foster surprised many viewers when she officially came out as a lesbian. While she has alluded to her sexual orientation in the past (she thanked her partner back in 2007 during another acceptance speech), this is the first time she has made a public statement on the matter. Her moving speech made mention of the importance of privacy and acceptance, and she also explained why she waited so long to make the big public announcement.
“While I’m here being all confessional, I just have the sudden urge to say something I’ve never been able to say in public," Foster began. "A declaration that I’m a little nervous about. Not quite as nervous as my publicist, huh, Jennifer? But uh, you know, I’m just going to put it out there. Loud and proud. I’m going to need your support. I am — single."
Foster then noted that she was kidding (but only kind of) and continued, "I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age. In those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends, and family, coworkers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her. To everyone she actually met. But now, apparently I'm told, that every celebrity is expected to honor the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a primetime reality show. You guys might be surprised, but I'm not Honey Boo Boo child. If you had been a public figure since the time you were a toddler, if you had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you too would value privacy above all else."
