Rihanna left little to the imagination at the at the annual ‘Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards’ last night, when she arrived to collect the ‘Fashion Icon Award’ dressed in nothing but Swarovski crystals, pieced together by designer Adam Selman.

Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Anna Wintour who looked on as she collected the award for her contributions to fashion, Fenty hit the award show hours after spending the evening with ‘Epic’ performer Future.

Indeed, as she continues work on her eighth studio album, the singer and her ‘Love Song‘ collaborator were snapped entering the same NYC nightspot after 3am on Saturday, weeks after his fiancee Ciara welcomed their son Future to the world, here.

From Ciara to Joan Rivers and many more, Rihanna has seen her fair share of Twitter opponents in her time.  None, however, have “gone in” on the ‘Hard’ hitmaker like serial tweeter Charlie Sheen.

The former ‘Two and a Half Men’ star had more than two cents to lend the Bajan beauty about an encounter at a restaurant last night.  According to Sheen, he attempted to introduce Ri to his fiancee, who is a long-time fan of the singer.  But, after the ‘Disturbia’ diva declined the invitation, Charlie flew into a fiery  Twitter rant that saw him label the Grammy winner a “liar,” “idiot”, and wearer of “bad wigs”.

Never one to keep silent when attacked, see how Ri responded.  It all awaits below:

Spin.

As her new single ‘Fancy‘ sails towards Pop glory after rising to #7 on the ‘Hot 100’ last week, spin has done a pretty excellent job of presenting its supporting album ‘The New Classic’ as a roaring success.

Unfortunately, if units moved the LP this week are anything to go by, the rapper’s ‘Billboard 200′ peak position of #3 may be the only number the project will be commended for reaching.

Andre 3000 joins forces with ‘Epic’ performer Future for ‘Benz Friendz‘ this year, releasing the cut in support of the latter’s brand new album, ‘Honest.’

Due for release on Tuesday, the album unlocks the number as the ‘Love Song’ writer prepares for the arrival of his first child with ‘Hotline’ singer Ciara, who does not feature on the project but will no doubt join the rapper in seeing just how well it fares commercially upon release.

Fortunately, even if the LP doesn’t live up to his expectations on a numbers front, he can be sure to expect praise on a critical tip thanks to jams recorded alongside Lil Wayne, Kanye West and the gold digger bashing bop below!
