Rihanna Posts Topless Pictures on Facebook, Again!

It seems like Rihanna is living up to her “Good Girl Gone Bad” status as she posted series of topless pictures on her Facebook account. The photos were taken behind-the-scenes of her new music video “Where Have You Been?”

It’s known to the public how Rihanna is not particularly shy to flaunt her body in public. But this time, the Barbadian singer is leaving only little to the imagination. The singer was snapped as a makeup artist painted parts of her body to look like crocodile scales.

 

The 24-year-old singer, who also used Twitter to share some of her raunchy pictures didn’t seem coy about being exposed. This isn’t the first time the singer shared topless pictures on Facebook. Last month, she posted another album of her Hawaiian vacation and there was one photo of her in a swimming pool, topless with an arm covering her chest.

Rihanna seem to have bounced back after she was hospitalized due to exhaustion and dehydration right after she attended the Met Gala inNew York City. Sources say that the singer has been partying hard and that friends close to Riri advised her to take up therapy. But from the looks of these photos, Rihanna is not about to slow down.

Ashton Kutcher must be cooking up something in his 10 million dollar pad. Roving eyes have been spotting some very personal home visits and midnight runs to the bachelor’s pad from high profile celebs.

Justin Bieber made a recent visit to Ashton’s abode, and apparently is interested in becoming the new owner of Kutcher’s pad. No real word of sale on the property has been released but, the 34 year old Ashton might be looking into possibities.

Then again, we can’t  see a common ground between Kutcher and Bieber for some male bonding other than their …uh, sordid tangles with the media and their private lives.

Another eye brow raising turn of event in the Kutcher pad, was 24 year old singer Rihanna who was spotted doing a midnight run along with her security posse’ to Ashton’s home.

Hmmm, is she looking to buy the property maybe? Or have they recently become close friends? Midnight friendly calls is pretty common for high profile celebs one would think, but probing questions are looming over this recent sighting, as our spotters noted Rihanna didn’t leave Ashton’s pad until around 4am.

So who knows what’s cooking at the Kutcher bachelor pad these days. All we know is that the recent divorce’ has signed up to be the 500th space traveller to take a voyage into space with Virgin Galactic. Yep, that’s the title of ‘astronaut’ if you want that written down on your resume’.

Fans can also look forward to a bigger production. “We’ve never done a tour to this capacity,” Rihanna said in an interview with AOL. “The production is unbelievable and the costumes… we just took it to a whole new level. Visually and sonically it’s going to be a big step up from the last time.”

KCA’s Top Moments

It’s that annual awards show where it’s okay to burp, throw slime, and get icky while presenting blimps to Hollywood’s top celebrities. Here are my favorite moments of this year’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards held at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion on Saturday in LA.

Sibling rivalry. Twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse of The Suite Life On Deck were pitted against each other in the Favorite TV Actor category, but Dylan won and took home the famous blimp trophy, beating another set of brothers—Nick and Joe Jonas of the show Jonas.

Katy Perry arrives at 23rd annual Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles
Katy Perry—best in slime! After changing into a bright yellow floral dress and a blue wig on stage, the singer presented the favorite movie actress award along with Jonah Hill. When she opened the box that held the envelope, Nickelodeon’s traditional bright green slime hosed Katy down. How ironic that she tweeted this just moments before the show: “Hope I don’t get none of that disgusting booger slime on me @Kids Choice Awards 2night… I’ll slap the ho that ruins my weave, nails, face!” Check out a photo documentary of the slimy moment here.

The robot dance is in! Although her red carpet outfit was a disaster, Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” performance did not disappoint. It must be her new stage performance “thing”—a giant dancing robot that’s been tagging along with the singer in her shows.

Rihanna’s Birthday Lap Dance

…And no, it wasn’t from a hot male stripper! RiRi celebrated her 22nd birthday last Saturday with her 25-year-old boyfriend Matt Kemp and a few close friends.

They went barhopping in Scottsdale, Arizona, and one particular bar had a little stripper who gave Rihanna a very special lap dance. Check out this video from TMZ:

The night was extra special for the R&B star. If you remember, she didn’t get to celebrate her 21st birthday last year, following the assault charges against her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

Happy birthday, RiRi!

Rihanna’s Sydney Style

I can’t help it if she’s my favorite Celebrific star this month. Everyday is a clean slate for her wardrobe, and Rihanna can pull anything off—from military mix-ups to baby animal hoodies.

If you’re wondering how she spent Valentine’s Day, it was all business for the R&B star. She was busy with a photo call in Sydney, Australia, where she was promoting her Rated R album.

Rihanna’s Frog Suit

Rihanna Promotes Rated R In Seoul

Kiddie fashion manages to make its way to the grown-ups’ closets, as long as fashionistas, retailers, and designers deem it wearable.

Remember the printed thermal sweaters and pajamas trend a couple of years ago? The likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears made “fresh out of bed” a must-have look.

Now it’s an updated version of the baby frog suit. It looks adorable on babies, with the different colors and animals that retailers put on the hoodie. Check out Rihanna’s take on it.

Rihanna Promotes Rated R In Seoul

She was spotted at a fan-meeting event on February 11, 2010 in Seoul, South Korea. To keep herself warm in the winter weather, she wore a leopard sweater with animal face hoodie. How… cute.

Rihanna’s Got Seoul

Rihanna Arrives Seoul

The R&B singer touched down in Seoul, Korea yesterday. She arrived at Gimpo International Airport wearing a rockstar-meets-military-chic outfit. And I know you’re checking out her irresistible Louis Vuitton bag!

Her visit to Korea is part of an overseas promotional tour to support her fourth album Rated R.

In the meantime, check out her newest video, “Rude Boy,” which was released just this week. Directed by Melina Matsoukas, “Rude Boy” features a lot of graphics, colors, and of course, sexy costumes.

“[The video is] completely different from any other video I’ve shot before,” Rihanna said. “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 dance-hall queen type.”

Rihanna Steals the Super Bowl Spotlight

Rihanna had half her costume missing!” became the running joke since the R&B star’s pre-Super Bowl performance last Thursday. Always the one to challenge fashion rules, the 21-year-old performed a medley of hits at the Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam 2010 wearing a one-shoulder, one-leg cat suit with white trimming, accessorized with fishnet stockings and black gloves.

Her outfit was designed by stylists Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi, who have helped Rihanna with other ensembles in the past. Other performers at the pre-Super Bowl event in Miami Beach were Justin Bieber, Young Jeezy, and Timbaland, but Rihanna soon stole the spotlight when she performed a number of songs from her recent album, Rated R, including “Rude Boy” and “Russian Roulette.”

Rihanna is W’s Feb Girl

She finally has put the past behind her. In W Magazine’s February issue, Rihanna graces the cover and talks about being back in the grind.

“Not talking was a big thing for me,” Rihanna told W Magazine. She managed to keep mum and stayed away from the craziness last year when the media was all over the Chris Brown story.

In February 8, 2009, her then boyfriend and fellow R&B singer Chris Brown was arrested and sentenced to community service and five years of probation for felony assault, following a domestic violence complaint. Turns out that behind the façade of a happy couple, Rihanna was a victim of violence. It’s been a year since the pre-Grammy incident, and both are leading peaceful and separate lives.

“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,” Rihanna added. The article wasn’t all about her past rough year. She also talked about her career, the crazy things she does with her “glam team,” and about being “a little older than my real age.”

Inspired by her latest album, Rated R, the photo shoot shows an edgy and naughty Rihanna garbed in designer threads such as Michael Kors, Christian Dior, and Prada.

The Rihanna ‘Do

I didn’t notice it until last weekend’s Grammy Awards. Rihanna and Mary J. Blige are sporting the same do. I ask you (with a Sherlock Holmes voice), who did it first? Or better yet, (in a Tyra Banks voice) who looks better?

This ’do is definitely making a “Russian Roulette.”
