Now, in her forthcoming autobiography billed ‘Honest- My Story So Far’, the vocalist has revealed that she was the victim of a sexual assault in 2004, at the hands of someone she believed to be a friend.

With four days remaining until Rihanna‘s new single Diamonds’ premieres, it appears the singer’s team are beginning to build buzz surrounding its housing album.

A mysterious website, christened ‘Rihanna 7’, went live this evening, bearing the model’s logo made up what seems to be song lyrics. And while little else is known, That Grape Juice can CONFIRM with 100% certainty that the star’s label Island Def Jam are the force behind the site…which begs the question: is Rihanna’s 7th album in as many years titled ‘7’?

A testament to the strength of her talent and material, Jessie J has been working her debut LP ‘Who You Are’ for the better part of 18 months. However, as the age old adage goes, all good things must come to an end. For this campaign, that end arrived last night at the iTunes Festival in London.

Backed by a full band, the Essex-bred powerhouse served up a titillating set of hits from the album as well as cuts from artists who’ve inspired her. This was preceded by a speech which saw her thank the thousands in attendance for supporting her journey, going on to inform them that this would be last time she’d support the project as a body of work as she’s set to start recording album #2.

After watching her performances, we literally can’t wait!
