Does this woman EVER sleep? Between the Grammys, the Brit Awards, and this perfume launch, how has Rihanna possibly had time to truly recover from the flu that nearly prevented her from performing at the Grammys?



Goodness! I hope she’s taking care of herself.

Rihanna Heats Up the 2011 Grammys

One of the most anticipated guests of the evening, < " style="color: #ff5aad; text-decoration: none;" target=""> Rihanna was spotted arriving at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles earlier tonight (February 13).

Always a fashion trendsetter, the “Russian Roulette” hitmaker looked amazing as she hit the Staples Center red carpet.

< " style="color: #ff5aad; text-decoration: none;" target=""> Rihanna’s ex-boyfriend Chris Brown will also be in attendance tonight, though he’s required by a restraining order to stay plenty far away from her.

Back in 2009, Chris ended up beating < " style="color: #ff5aad; text-decoration: none;" target=""> Rihanna after an argument following a pre-Grammy shindig.

Rihanna Has A Lesbian Lover? Natasha ‘Tajah’ Burton Opens Up About Affair In New Book

< ">Natasha ‘Tajah’ Burton is claiming that she once had an affair with Rihanna. Well, maybe not < ">Rihanna FLAT OUT… but a “Barbadian, female pop/R&B ARTIST”. I can’t really think of another Barbadian pop star? Can you???

In her upcoming book, ‘Low Down Dirty Shame’, Natasha ‘Tajah’ Burton says the pair hooked up in 2009 (while Rihanna was dating Chris Brown).  Here’s an excerpt from the book:

“I wasn’t over my ex, but talking to her helped. She was beautiful. She wore her hair short with blonde highlights, and her style was creative. I wasn’t sure I could take her serious, so I took it one day at a time. We instantly had a connection. I could listen to her for hours, discuss media, music and fashion. She would open up to me … converse with her manager in front of me, jumping on conference calls about her new project that involved her doing a soundtrack for a feature film.”

The ‘S&M’ singer hasn’t commented about the lesbian allegations, but maybe that’s the smartest thing to do. If she comments it will just add fuel to the fire.

What do you think about < ">Natasha ‘Tajah’ Burton claiming she had a lesbian affair with < ">Rihanna? Could it be true?

Rihanna Sorts Out “Bad Neighbor” Drama

She’s one of the most-loved ladies in pop music, but Rihanna's neighbor has anything but adoration for her.

Christian Moeller, who lives next door to the “Take a Bow” songstress filed a lawsuit against her for being a “bad neighbor.”


Moeller sued Ri-Ri and her landlord Stephen Yacobian for excessive chauffeurs sitting outside, as well as Rihanna’s bamboo plants that he claimed were obstructing his view of the city.
However, according to Radar the suit, filed in June of 2009, has been settled, though none of the details have been disclosed.
