Check out Rihanna doing what she does best – posing. The Nivea Spokesmodel covers Cosmopolitan‘s June issue and looks stunning as she does so.

In other Ms. Fenty news, her ‘Loud Tour’ is gearing up for lift-off next month. Sponsors will no doubt be hoping sales pick up for the US leg of the trek, which saw cancelled dates and slow ticket sales earlier this year. Riddle me this; why do Ri’s fans keep her trending on Twitter, but don’t buy her albums or tour tickets?

Red head Rihanna sits washed up at sea in this new promotional shot for Vita Coco Water. The vocal powerhouse was unveiled as the new face of the brand, adding to her ever-growing list of endorsement deals (see: Nivea, Gucci, Covergirl).

Hate her or love her, Robyn continues to turn her lack of talent into a successful artform. More power to her.

Rihanna debuted a brand new hair do during a performance in Germany last night. In true Fenty fashion, the starlet was able to distract German fans from her nasally grunts with a new Diana Ross inspired wig.

The ‘California King Bed singer was performing at the Nivea Skin Journey aboard the Nivea Blue Boat and met up with fans.

Unlike the Titanic, though, the only tragedy this boat suffered was the sound of RiRi bleating her hamburger hits.

Rihanna invites viewers into her ‘California King Bed’ in the video for the latest single from her ‘Loud’ LP. The nasal sensation shot the clip back in March, pacing out its release as she preps for the launch of her ‘Loud Tour’ – which kicks off next month.

Yet, with US audiences avoiding the trek like she does her vocal coach, one has to wonder if the model can stimulate interest with the release of the Nivea-sponsored video. Judge for yourself after the jump…

Breaking the trend of portraying young artists with exceptional vocal ability, Rihanna hit the stage on this evening’s ‘American Idol’. The Nivea model performed her new single, ‘California King Bed’, from her platinum-certified ‘Loud’ album.

Def Jam recording artist Rihanna is gearing up for the release of her third album. The first single from the currently untitled project is set to be sent to radio on March 28th. It is reportedly to be a track called ‘Umbrella’ featuring Jay Z (hmm…); the song was produced by Terius “The Dream” Nash (Nivea’s husband). I personally think Rihanna as an artist is just one big rush-job. The girl only hit the scene in summer 05 with ‘Pon De Replay’, they rushed out another album a few months later and now shes about to drop her 3rd album already. Guess they’re trying to milk her for all the money they can.
Speaking of Rihanna, a video of the Bajan beauty singing at aged 16 has surfaced. The performance, at a local talent show, is of Mariah’s ‘Hero’. Why why why do so many girls convince themselves that they can carry a Mariah track? This is terrible…really. She apparently won as well! LOL. The judges must have been tone-deaf….

One rolling stone met another when The Dream recently sat down with the popular magazine following the release of his free LP ‘1977’.  While the Hip Hop hitmaker is said to be readying a free followup to that LP, he dished with Rolling Stone about his latests –  ‘Love King IV’, label drama, and love.  All of the aforementioned, Dream says, will be explored on his upcoming studio work.

As always, addressing ex-wife Christina Milian also made its way into conversation.  See what the ‘Single Ladies’ craftsman had to say these topics and Beyonce’s pregnancy announcement after the jump:
