Rihanna is letting her red 'do dominate on the cover of
Glamour magazine's September issue. We're lovin' her sexy booty!
The 23-year-old diva, wearing a Dolce & Gabbana ensemble, opens up about her crazy life. She tells the mag:
“I hate drama. But at the same time, nothing bothers me more than when life’s perfect. And that’s the sick part. I just love a challenge, whether it’s a relationship, my career, clothing…â€Â
RiRi, who's known to get racy during her performances, adds:
“I want to set the right example and, at the same time, live my life….I feel like pop stars can’t be rock stars anymore because they have to be role models, and it takes the fun out of it for us, because we just want to have fun with art.â€Â
Read what Rihanna says about being honest ... after the jump.

Almost everyone in Bravo's
Real Housewives franchise has tried their hand at releasing a song, but none have successfully ventured into acting.
Beverly Hills' Kyle Richards might change that. She stars in upcoming Lifetime movie
Deadly Sibling Rivalry opposite Charisma Carpenter -- the TV movie premieres next month.
Of course, Richards does have some acting experience -- she made her big-screen debut in the 1978 horror film
Halloween, and though she's been busy raising her children, has kept acting over the years. She had a small part on
ER, for example -- but her last acting role was in the 2006 movie
Pledge This.
And what about the title of the Lifetime flick? Much of the drama of season one of
Beverly Hills surrounded Kyle's drama with her sister, Kim Richards.

Joe Pesci is fat ... and he's pissed about it.
The Oscar winning actor claims he gained 30 pounds to play capo and John Gotti Sr. pal Angelo Ruggiero in the upcoming biopic
Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father. The role was supposed to come with a $3 million pay day, according to
E!.
Now Pesci says that after he signed on, Fiore Films swapped his role. Instead of Ruggiero, producers offered him the lesser part of mobster Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso, an attempted Gotti killer, and a $1 million paycheck instead.
Naturally, Pesci and his pasta-filled belly are suing the producer, Fiore Films. He filed a lawsuit Wednesday in Los Angeles stating:
"Defendant has no intention of paying Pesci $3 million or having him portray Ruggiero in the film. Rather plaintiff secretly planned to use Pesci's name and likeness to promote the film and then to later concoct some pretext for terminating the contract so as to avoid paying plaintiff anything for the substantial publicity and 'buzz' that was generated."
And here we thought Lindsay Lohan was the one used to gain attention.
So does Pesci's lawsuit hold any merit? Find out ... after the jump.

The UK's
The Sun is reporting that Amy Winehouse's family believes she may have died from going cold turkey in an effort to fight her alcohol addiction.
Reportedly, a family source says that Amy ignored her doctor's advice to cut down on her heavy drinking gradually and wean herself off of alcohol. Instead, she went cold turkey, and her body could not handle the dramatic withdrawal.
Her loved ones believe a seizure killed her (recovering alcoholics can suffer from seizures.)
The "Rehab" singer, 27, died at her London home on July 23. The source said Winehouse's father, Mitch, believed the theory.
"He [Mitch] said doctors had told Amy to gradually reduce her intake of alcohol and to avoid bingeing at all costs. Amy told him she couldn't do that. It was all or nothing and she gave up completely. ... the shock of giving up, after everything she had been through over a bad few years, was just too much for her to take."
Toxicology results from Winehouse's autopsy will not be available for several weeks.
On Thursday, Mitch passed out gifts to fans at Amy's home ... gifts that surprised some. See what he handed out after the jump, and read what's next for Amy's unreleased music.
