Rihanna is ending 2012 on a naked note. Lucky us!

The sexy and nude 24-year-old songstress is GQ's December cover girl.

RiRi, who is wearing nothing but a strategically placed leather jacket, is showing a whole lot of skin and tats ... including the one underneath her breasts that was inked in honor of her late grandmother Dolly, who passed away in June.

Judging by her history of posting very revealing photos on Twitter, this gorgeous gal is definitely comfortable with her body. Talk about a great way to promote her upcoming album Unapologetic.

The new CD, featuring the hit single "Diamonds" and the duet "Nobodies Business" with Chris Brown, drops on November 19.

Britney Spears checked in to a Los Angeles hotel over the weekend, but prior to that we spotted the pop princess and her bodyguard grabbing a bite to eat at Subway. Er, make that a quite a few bites ... looks like Britney has enough food to feed a family of 6!

Still no word on why Brit was checking in to a hotel, but we're thinking it has something to do with the fact that her new house isn't quite ready yet. But then where are Jason Trawick and her boys? And if there really is trouble in paradise, would Britney be looking so chipper when we snapped her photo?

Over the weekend Russell Brand was snapped leaving his yoga class in Hollywood, and the British comedian caused quite a ruckus in the parking lot! Russell tried to hop into a woman's car, but after that he calmed down and gave a young female fan a bear hug before getting lunch at a nearby cafe.

But who's this mystery blonde?



Click after the jump to see another shot of the lady Brand was chatting with at lunch!

From every angle, Jennifer Lopez is perfection while performing on stage in Moscow, Russia.

The sexy 42-year-old Latina is currently on her world tour with fellow headliner Enrique Iglesias. With JLo as his ladylove, Casper Smart has seriously won the lottery.

This mama of two has definitely got it goin' on!

Pretty Little Liar's star Ashley Benson grabbed lunch at Taste on Melrose with her on-again-off-again beau Ryan Good, but looks as though she has James Franco on her mind.

When asked about Franco, whom she's rumored to be dating, Ash gives our cameraman a big smile. Franco and Benson met while filming Spring breakers this past summer. Although the two have denied a romance, we think the verdict's still out.

However, Franco was recently photographed wearing pink pajamas at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino ... hugging another woman. This guy always keeps us guessing!

Vanessa Lachey tweeted a new photo of her adorable son Camden the other day, and the new mom also opened up about some of the things she's learned since giving birth two months ago.

Vanessa and hubby Nick both celebrated their birthdays on Friday (she turned 32, he turned 39), and while the two have embraced parenthood, there are some downsides to having a newborn baby. "I haven't slept since September 12," Vanessa told Us Weekly. "It takes so long to feed and change and swaddle him. But it's worth it!"

When asked about some of the problems she's encountered with her two-month-old, Vanessa says, "His first blowout, I made two rookie mistakes: No. 1, I didn't put a diaper underneath the old one, and No. 2, I didn't let him finish. Nick and I laughed ourselves to tears." Eww! But I guess it is pretty funny...

So how often does Nick take on diaper duty? "He's the best! I'm really lucky. He changes them a lot," she says. "Since I nurse, Nick sees that as his bonding time. He'll talk and sing to him while doing it." She IS really lucky!

Over the weekend Reese Witherspoon, hubby Jim Toth and ex-hubby Ryan Phillippe attended son Deacon's soccer game in Brentwood, and what could have been a potentially awkward run-in ended up being quite the opposite!

Ryan and Jim shook hands, and they even sat down next to Reese for a few minutes as they watched Deacon play. Glad to see that everyone can get along!



But where was Ryan's much younger lady love Paulina?

Hilary Swank with her new boyfriend Laurent Fleury were snapped on the set of her new movie, You're Not You, and later in the day we spotted them going to a party at a friend's pad in Encino.

Fleury is a real estate broker who spends most of his time in Paris with his two children, and though Hilary has been staying at his apartment in France, he's also been in California quite a bit since the two started dating. So that's why she put her Pacific Palisades home up for sale!

Swank split from her boyfriend John Campisi in August after five years together, and shortly after that she put the house they shared on the market for $9.495 million. Prior to that Swank was married to Chad Lowe for nearly ten years, and just a few months after they announced they were divorcing, she started dating Campisi. She may be quick to move on, but it seems like once she does she hangs around for a while! Think this romance will last?
