RiRi Talks That Talk... Bit can she Walk that Walk?

I have to say I am really enjoying Rihanna lately, its a never ending stream of hits, and judging from the album sample above, new record Talk That Talk won't be any different. Musically too she seems to be pushing herself, sampling The xx's Intro on the track Drunk On Love. Its released November 21st.

One and Only!

Heard this earlier on the bus. Yes the bus. Stupid tube strike. Took me like 2 hours to get home. Anyways YAY Rihanna got her groove back. Bout time too. The sound is nothing new, but still, its fun and dancey and sure thats all ya want at the end of the night. Glad to see her back in action...

If Stella can get it back, so can you!

Hopefully it'll be more Don't Stop The Music, less Russian Roulette. Well, we'll find out Tuesday if Rihanna has finally got her groove back?

M.I.A vs RIHANNA

So if you haven't seen it by now Rihanna's Rude Boy video (above) is very very similar to M.I.A's 2007 video for Boyz. So everyones has being calling Rihanna's version a rip-off and now Maya has got in on the action and retweeted something one of her fans said:



I don't know if @kNAneedsREEBOK is trying to copy M.I.A's writing style or just can't spell? Anyways below is M.I.A's Boyz video. On a sidenote M.I.A linked another tweet of hers to the website for her record label N.E.E.T Recordings although if you are anyway hungover then don't click on the link. It's very M.I.A i.e Mental!

Rude Boy

Rihanna's new video for Rude Boy is a bit of a mish-mash of, well everything really. It references Keith Harring, and Rihanna is looking abit Grace Jones herself. While the visuals are totally M.I.A circa 05, with a bitta Solange throw in. Havin' said that I still dig it, plus I can't help but hope that the "is you BIG enough?" a sly dig at Chris Brown.

Grammys: Red Carpet Vs. Runway

Everything looks better on the runway, its sad but true. Having said that some people really looked amazing last night, while others, not so much.

YES - Pink, Fergie (she looked so much better than the skick thing runway model), Gaga (although I dont thnk theres anyneed for the props), and that girl Glee looked well.

NO - Ciara, Rihanna, Katy Perry (Not lovin that Betty Paige fringe on her)

Who Wore It Better?

Did anyone watch the Hope For Haiti telethon last night on MTV? I was very impressive and it raised 300 million dollars for Haiti so it turned out great! One on the best moments of the night was Christina Aguilera, she was flawless, i'll post that later.

One of the most awkward moments of the was Bono being a total knob and embarrassing every Irish person alive. Why cant he just be cool like Edge??? And Rihanna looked a mess, seriously I love her new tough girl look an all (well kinda) but shes was looking more rough than tough. Check out the song Stranded, and the awkward video, below.

Text CONCERN or UNICEF to 57500 and donate just €5 to Haiti.

Rihanna does W

Rihanna is still looking tough and rough (In the best way possible) in the latest issue of W, shot by Craig McDean. I wonder if shes trying to send a message to chris brown? anyways thanks to TheBubbleBoy for the heads up.

Come on rude boy is you BIG enough?

Rude Boy is being lined up as Rihanna's 3rd single of her underwhelming album, Rated R. I love Rihanna and all but her last album was very severe and frankly hard to listen, Stupid In Love has the lyric "My new nickname is you idiot!". Heavy. Well its nice to see her in an a more upbeat mode.

Rihanna does Vogue!

Rated R

So Rihanna finally has a new album out, I was really excited about hearing her new stuff until I heard the first single, Russian Roulette, a total whiny ballad which I'm not feeling at all. Having said that im still optimistic that the album will have a few trademark Rihanna bangers so fingers crossed. The artwork was shot by the excellent Ellen Von Unwerth...
