Rihanna is one of the hottest music stars today and for good reason – she’s incredibly talented, beautiful, charismatic, stylish, and likable. Since a day without a Rihanna video in it isn’t quite complete, here’s a great one to get us through: Rihanna’s Unfaithful video.

Gorgeousness! There’s just no other word for Rihanna.
When I first read the following this morning, I thought, “Has Solange completely lost her mind? Rihanna doesn’t need to rip off anyone or anything – she’s Rihanna for crying out loud.” Here’s what Solange tweeted after seeing Rihanna’s Rude Boy video:
“It’s flattering and frustrating when somebody does things u dif before way later. Well….. It’s actually kind of funny. Over and over. I think there’s emotion behind it because if you have been considered, “weird, kooky,” ect. scince u were a lil kid, & made fun of terribly and then u see folk who hopped on the “weird train” now that it’s pop culture to be “different”…it’s innnteeerrreesttting!”
Then. I. Watched. The. Video. In. Question.
There’s no denying that whoever was in charge of making the video used similar effects. I mean, when you put the videos side by side and play them (going back and forth between the two) it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Rihanna’s body, of course, serves as a pretty good compass – but other than that….
With gazillions of videos made a year, similar effects are going to show up. It’d kind of be like the first country star to wear a cowboy hat and drive a pick up truck in a video pointing his finger and laughing at the other stars who do it today. It’d be like, if they have more success with it now than you did… maybe they’re doing it better.
I don’t have anything against Solange – she’s a lovely, talented girl and I’m really surprised that she’s not a huge star in her own right – but, in all fairness to Rihanna, I doubt seriously she creates her own videos and if she did, I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t say, “I want this to be a hot one – let’s see what Solange has done in the past.”
I mean, I had to search out the video to even see what it was!
What do you think?
Great song, but I think I love the video even more. Who couldn’t appreciate the Chris Brown look alike and the whole in your face attitude? It’s like she flies the finger at him with her entire body. And what a body – good Lord, this girl is ridiculous.
Matt Kemp, Rihanna’s rumored lover, has gone on record as saying that they’re “just good friends.”
Rihanna was first linked to the baseball player at the end of last year, and rumors of a budding romance hit an all-time high when they were spotted vacationing in Mexico. They were also spotted watching a basketball game together in Los Angeles, fueling reports they are dating.
Rihanna recently dispelled the rumors by saying she’s “not dating anyone — I’m single,” and now Los Angeles Dodgers star Kemp has spoken out, too, by saying their relationship is purely platonic.
He tells People, “I can’t get distracted by that. When it’s time to play baseball, that’s my job. No distractions. (Rihanna is) just a friend, a good friend of mine.”
Rihanna is set to perform at a pre-Super Bowl concert. According to Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam organizers, she will perform Thursday, February 4, on South Beach in Miami. Rihanna will join teen singer Justin Bieber for the concert.
The Thursday night concert will be televised on VH1.
Rihanna fourth album, Rated R (released in November) reached number four on the Billboard 200 chart and number one on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
The gorgeous singer has also made headlines lately with her new and improved love life. Putting Chris Brown in her rear view mirror, Rihanna has moved on with Los Angeles Dodger Matt Kemp. The two were recently photographed on vacation together in Cabo San Lucas.
And my favorite Rihanna news: Rihanna was so moved by an emotional letter sent by an Olympic hopeful who is battling leukaemia that she is trying to help him find a donor.
Rihanna received a heart-wrenching letter from 26-year-old Seun Adebiyi, a Nigerian athlete who had hoped to compete in the 2014 Winter Games in skeleton sledding, but was diagnosed with Leukaemia during training. She has promised to do everything she can to raise awareness of his condition and find him a bone marrow donor.
Rihanna said: “Leukaemia interrupted Seun’s dream of being the first Nigerian in the Winter Olympics, but together we can help him make his dream come true. We need to find him a bone marrow donor! Please sign up with DKMS!”
The pop star is working alongside ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ actor Justin Chambers in asking potential bone marrow donors to come forward and help save the life of the Yale Law School graduate.
Seun’s response?: “I am deeply touched by their plea for donors, not just for me, but for others as well. Their voices are so powerful and it encourages me how they used their influence to raise awareness about this important issue. That was incredible.”
Rihanna previously made successful public pleas both last year and in 2008 to help six-year-old Jasmina Anema and 43-year-old Lisa Flynn find bone marrow transplants.
Beautiful, talented, stylish, and compassionate? Think Matt Kemp knows how lucky he is? Think Chris Brown knows what an idiot he was?

The first interview with Rihanna after being assaulted by Chris Brown will air this week on ABC.
Rihanna sat down for a one-on-one interview with Diane Sawyer which will air Thursday and Friday on Good Morning America and Friday night on 20/20.
Chris Brown was sentenced, of course, in August to five years’ probation, six months of community labor and a year of domestic-violence counseling after he pleaded guilty to felony assault.
Rihanna is getting back into the public eye to promote her new single, Russian Roulette, from her upcoming album, Rated R, out Nov. 23.
The beautiful star also appears on the cover of this month’s Glamour, where she discusses the healing process.
“The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from (me),” she says in the article. “I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.”
She’ll be honored Monday by Glamour Magazine as their choice for Glamour Woman of the Year its gala awards ceremony at Carnegie Hall.

Okay. Now I feel a little better about loving Chris Brown’s new song.
Jay-Z’s much-anticipated new song from his upcoming album “The Blueprint 3″ should be debuted this Friday, July 24. Titled “Run This Town”, Jay Z reportedly teams up with two of our personal favorites, Rihanna and Kanye West.
i say “should” and “reportedly” because Hot 106 reported on their web site: “JUST GOT WORD: New Jay-Z single coming this Friday called Run This Town with Kanye West and Rihanna!”.
Hours later however, the website took down the post without explanation. That leaves you wondering. They either got it very, very wrong or they got it very, very right.
My fingers are crossed for right.
Reportedly in order to avoid Internet leaks, the new album will be delivered personally by Jay Z to his record label, Atlantic Records. Why hasn’t anyone else ever thought of that?
Rihanna will be working with The All-American Rejects’ vocalist Tyson Ritter in her upcoming studio album, according to SRP Music Group. In addition to Tyson, she’ll also be working with Stargate, James Fauntleroy, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and The-Dream.
Although the new project hasn’t been officially titled yet, some say it will be called “Rated R” and will be available for purchasing this fall. Previously according to Rihanna-Diva, Rihanna was rumored to go rock but will keep the R&B tune by mixing the rock materials with pop sounds.
Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Kanye West, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, Soulja Boy, Shontelle and Pharrell Williams are expected to contribute to this new album as well.
In other news, Rihanna grabbed two prizes at 2009 Urban Music Awards which was held on July 17 at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. She was named Best Female Act, and her music video for single “Rehab” won Best Music Video.
Very well deserved honors.
