Chains and whips may excite her, but Rihanna‘s video for ‘S&M’ has left renown director David LaChapelle none-too-impressed. For, the fashion figure is suing the model and her team for directly copying his work.
Full story after the jump…
Check out this sneak peek of Rihanna’s upcoming ‘Last Girl On Earth Tour’. Matt Kemp’s girlfriend is seen rehearsing with her Mad House band and her choreographer, Tina Landon; attempting to learn how to perform live for the show’s launch on April 16th. Check out the footage below:

The ever fashionable Rihanna hit the stage at the 02 Academy in Brixton early today. She performed several songs from her catalog including new material from her upcoming album, ‘Rated R’, which will hits stores on November 20th. Featured in the concert were surprise guests Jay-Z and Young Jeezy. Peep the performances below:
‘Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova)’
‘Umbrella’ (featuring Jay-Z)
‘Hard’ (featuring Young Jeezy)
Sidebar: Sam attended the event and barely made out with his hearing intact…
Thoughts?
With Jay-Z’s much anticipated ‘The Blueprint 3’ nearing its September 11th release, the next single to be lifted from the record ‘Run This Town’ has surfaced. Featuring former Def Jam label mates Rihanna and Kanye West, Hova has gone on record to say the track is named as such because they are the folk that ‘run’ the industry (hmm…).
While I’m feeling the track’s ‘epic’ feel, along with Jay and Kanye’s verses, I couldn’t stomach Rihanna’s part on the hook. Ms. Fenty was on her extra-nasal game on this one, which makes it a few pig-squeals away from being un-listenable. That said, the song still kinda manages to work.
Hit or Miss?
Your favourite ‘artist’ and mine Rihanna was spotted out and about at the Italian eatery Da Silvano in New York sporting a new shaved hair do, Cassie-style.
As much as Rihanna doesn’t rock my world, it’s hard to deny her position as a fashion trendsetter. So, it’s kinda weird to now see her jumping on the shaved head bandwagon, which in itself is already full with the likes of La La Vasquez, Amelle from the Sugababes, of course Ms. Spread-Her-Legs herself Cassie and all the chicks in your local mall. I guess Ms. Fenty’s fashion-sense and image is as authentic as her music. It’s not.
What do you think of the pics?
Check out these shots of Rihanna, via Just Jared, on the video set of yet another single – namely ‘Disturbia’. Judging by her outfits, the David LaChappelle directed vid looks like it’ll be pretty interesting; which it needs to be, as the song is the absolute pits.
What do you thin of the pics?
The 2007 World Music Awards were held earlier this month in Monte Carlo. R&B stars Ciara and Rihanna performed at the event. Check out their performances below:
Ciara (ft. 50 Cent) – ‘Can’t Leave Em’ Alone’
Rihanna – ‘Umbrella’
I actually enjoyed both performances. Ciara’s vocals were on-point throughout and Rihanna did her thing too.
What do you think of the performances?
3 years after Summer Walker co-signed a fan tweet that crowned her this generation’s “Queen of R&B,” ‘The Breakfast Club’ hosts DJ Envy and Charlamagne tha God reignited the conversation about who is most deserving of the throne.
Just as the 2023 Primetime EMMYs were delayed due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes so were the Creative Arts EMMYs that annually precede them.
After much anticipation, however, the latter’s two-night ceremony commenced Saturday (January 6) and ended Sunday (January 7) to toast the artistic and technical achievements in TV’s animated, reality, variety, short-form, documentary series, and specials genres.
Ahead of the show’s 75th annual edition airing on FXX on January 13, the second night’s winners have been revealed.

In late October 2022, Bruno Mars made history when he became the first artist to be attached to six Diamond-certified songs from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). “Diamond” denotes sales equivalence of 10 million in the United States.
The RIAA only credited five of those songs to the ‘Grenade’ singer’s cumulative count, a historic feat that was matched in February when The Weeknd‘s ‘Earned It’ earned him the fifth Diamond plaque of his career.
As fans of music’s leading crooners waited with bated breath to see who would break the tie, popular rapper Post Malone surprised with an upset Thursday (April 20) when it was announced he is now the sole owner of the record-breaking title for most Diamond-certified singles.

As far as songwriters go, few can challenge the extensive, hit-filled resume of Diane Warren.
Having written songs for Cher, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Brandy, Monica, Aaliyah, Celine Dion, Toni Braxton, Aretha Franklin, and many other big names in music over her 40-year career, Warren is lauded by many as “the songwriter of songwriters.”
The crowning appears to be one the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the organization that awards OSCARs) agrees with as she has been nominated for Best Original Song more than any other solo female songwriter in history.
Yet, in a continuation of her shocking but historic losing streak, the 66-year-old has lost in another competitive category.
Much like the People’s Choice Awards and Teen Choice Awards, the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards is one of the year’s most highly anticipated fan-voted award shows.
Honoring the year’s biggest in television, film, music, and sports as voted by worldwide viewers of Nickelodeon networks, this year’s iteration of the annual affair will air live on March 4 from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and be simulcast across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, the Nick Jr. channel, TVLand, CMT and MTV2.
Ahead of the Charli D’Amelio and Nate Burleson-hosted event’s kickoff, look inside to see the full list of nominees.
