Rihanna In The Running For X Factor Judge

Another major pop star is in the running to be a judge on “The X-Factor.” She’s the latest star creator Simon Cowell wants on the show. Rihanna is reportedly in talks with show producers to join the hit singing competition.

Fergie of the black-eyed peas already turned the gig down.
She says she’s just too busy and can’t commit the time and Britney Spears is officially out of the running after earlier reports she was on Simon’s wish list.
The search for a new judge continues after Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul were let go.

Rihanna goes chic at film photocall

Rihanna showed off a more sophisticated look while in London promoting her new film Battleship – just hours after she hopped on the Tube in hotpants and thigh-high leather boots.

The Good Girl Gone Bad singer, who makes her acting debut in Peter Berg’s action adventure, donned an olive-green silk Grecian-style dress and pointed court shoes for a photocall with co-stars Taylor Kitsch and Brooklyn Decker.

Brooklyn, meanwhile, opted for a more daring monochrome dress with revealing cut-out panels.

Rihanna, 24, told reporters she was single after bristling at being probed about her private life. “I’m happy and I’m single,” she said.

The Barbadian star plays Petty Officer Cora Raikes in the new movie which pits the US Navy in a battle against alien invaders.
Rihanna revealed that she spent many years looking into space looking for other life forms when she was growing up.

“My dad used to make me sit outside on the steps all night long looking for a UFO flying by and I really used to do that for years,” she said. But she was unable to spot anything suspicious. “I saw a falling star once and I thought, ‘yesss dad come and see one’ – it just darted.”

The Corinthia Hotel event comes after Rihanna was spotted using the London Underground to get to the capital’s 02 Arena, to watch rapper friend Drake perform.

The star – recently been linked to Two And Half Men’s Ashton Kutcher – went for a raunchier look for the gig, in a flame-printed T-shirt, cut-off denim shorts and thigh-high leather boots.

Rihanna has used public transport before to get to the venue – she took the Tube to a Brit awards rehearsal last month, and last October made her own way to her O2 concert surrounded by commuters.

Rihanna has body worries

Rihanna isn't completely happy with her body.

Despite being widely regarded as one of the world's most beautiful women, the 24-year-old-old singer admits she has insecurities about her figure like all ladies but she has learnt to love her shape and be proud of herself.

During an interview on UK TV show 'Daybreak', she said: 'I mean I don't think anybody really is 100 per cent. I mean you get comfortable with the fact that that's your body and that is what it is - that I had to learn. (Some days) I'm like, 'OK, whatever, I feel fat today,' but what can you really do about it?
You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that's your body. You just want something else that someone else has, but that doesn't mean what you have isn't beautiful, because people always want what you have, and you always want what they have - no one is ever 100 per cent like, 'Yes, I'm the bomb dot com - from head to toe!' '

Rihanna has made the switch from music to acting and appears in upcoming blockbuster 'Battleship' - which also stars Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgard.

The 'You Da One' hitmaker really enjoyed shooting the film but admits she was nervous before starting because of her lack of experience.

Speaking about the movie - in which she plays weapons specialist Cora Raikes - she said: 'It was nerve-racking really, scary to go into something so new and not really knowing what to expect or what to do. It was a learning experience so at the same time I had to pull off the part, but it was also brand new for me. But I just had to focus and get it done, there was no thinking about it ... I'm very competitive with myself and I take that through my career. I want to get better every time - the next step always has to be upwards. I guess I'm relentless in that way when it comes to my work. I don't ever give up or I feel guilty stopping for a little bit, but sometimes it's good to stop.'

Rihanna to launch her own fashion line?

Rihanna is as well known for her signature style as she is for her chart-topping success, so it was only a matter of time before she launched a label of her own.

The singer has already dabbled in fashion design when she teamed up with Armani for a capsule collection back in November.

In an interview on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this weekend, RiRi suggested she’s now working on her own label: "I'm really pursuing a fashion line of my own. I want to design."
Adding: “This is also a road that I want to earn it. So I'm working with designers. Designers that I respect, and [fashion] companies that I respect. I want people to really trust me before I just say 'Buy it, because it's mine.’”

Rihanna suggested she’s looking to launch the line once her second collection for Armani drops.

Naturally the fashion world is now buzzing with rumors of the possible designers working with the singer. Besides Emporio Armani, Stella McCartney is the name on everyone’s lips.

There’s no official word on when this collection/label/awesomeness will be released, so watch this space!

Rihanna tops 15 million UK record sales

Rihanna has sold over 15 million records in the UK, figures have revealed.

The singer reached the impressive milestone this month, after shifting five million units of albums Loud and Talk That Talk in the last 12 months.

"Selling 15 million records in the UK is a remarkable achievement," Mercury Music Group president Jason Iley told Music Week.

"Rihanna's only 24 and I have no doubt she'll sell another 15 million records in the near future. It's not about speed, it's about longevity, and Rihanna has a long career ahead of her."

Rihanna released her debut album Music of the Sun in the UK seven years ago, and five of her six subsequent records have achieved multi-platinum status.

The star is credited as the only female artist to have had a number one single in five consecutive years in the UK, and to date has totalled six chart-topping singles and three number one albums.
Illey added: "From the start Rihanna and her team have treated the UK like home. She's totally embraced Britain - right down to our public transport systems.

"Her work ethic is incredible. She understands the label, as well as the promotional opportunities that we've created."

Rihanna recently insisted that she will release a collaboration with friend Katy Perry, adding: "We are still trying to make a song together."

Why Rihanna Takes Her Clothes Off

Rihanna has the cure for your body image woes: Get naked. All the time. That's what she does and it totally worked -- she's at least half naked at all times now!

Hate your body? Rihanna has a little advice for you: Get naked. Often.

The "Birthday Cake" singer told British magazine Women's Fitness that she got over her own body issues by taking it all off as frequently as possible -- a practice she still employs, judging from the provocative self-portraits she posts on her Twitter feed almost every day.

"My way probably won't work for most people… but the more I got naked the more comfortable I felt," Rihanna explained to the mag. "I just had to face my fear. You always find something wrong, you always find something you're uncomfortable with, and one thing turns into another and you get embarrassed and self-conscious about it -- you feel like everybody can see what you see."
This method might possibly be more successful if you have Rihanna's body.

Oh, and by the way? She doesn't give a damn if you're hating on her decision to work with her abusive ex Chris Brown again -- at least, that's what it sounds like she's referencing in this quote:

"I stand up for what I believe in and a lot of the time that can be against people's opinion, but that's the hard thing to do, it really is sometimes," she said. "Especially if the majority doesn't agree."

What would her mother say about all this naughty and (many say) misguided behavior? Not much. According to the singer, she is simply making choices based on what she thinks her mom would do in the same situation.

"My mom is the toughest person I know. I'm finding myself becoming a lot more like her," Rihanna said. "Every time I come to a crossroads, I always find myself going back to my mom's methods."

Rihanna: Emilio's Ballato Babe

Looking edgy as she stepped out in NYC, Rihanna was spotted leaving her Big Apple hotel on Tuesday night (March 13).

Taking pictures with fans and signing autographs, the "We Found Love" songstress rocked a jean jacket, black leggings, pointed toe Louboutin heels and a winter hat as she made her way out for dinner at Emilio's Ballato Restaurant in the SoHo neighborhood.
RiRi was also out in the Big Apple last night during which time her wardrobe was making headlines for showing what many felt to be a bit too much.

The 24 year-old wore a mesh shirt with no bra and, when fans and paparazzi flashed their cameras for photos, they got more than they had bargained for.

Rihanna insisted that the flash made her skin-baring shirt more noticeable and when interested fans asked the songbird if she had seen the photos, she joked, saying, "You mean my t*tties?"

The sexy Barbadian continued on with her night wearing a smile, saying, "You come up with the flash man!"... although it seems as if Rihanna that was doing the flashing, but you be the judge.

Rihanna Steps Out In See-Through Top

The 24-year-old singer was spotted with friends at her favorite New York City eatery, Da Silvano, rocking boots, distressed jeans and a black mesh shirt that left little to the already fevered imagination of her fans. Her top, reported witnesses, completely exposed her breasts and at times, her nipples.

According to one onlooker who spoke to HollywoodLife:

“It looked like they were having a great time. They stayed at the restaurant for about two hours and were drinking Pinot Grigio and laughing a lot.”
Not that the star is exactly awkward about nudity.

In January she stripped to her undies for Armani, and last week she tweeted a topless photo from the set of her “Where Have You Been” video, using her elbow and a strategically placed prop to preserve her modesty. That girl will catch her death one of these days.

What do you make of Rihanna’s risque top and her determination not to wear a nice, sensible polo neck?

Rihanna Urged To Clean Up Her Act

Rihanna has been urged to get her act together by her former pastor and family friend, Bishop Vibert Lowe. He revealed that her homeland is praying for her.

In a new interview with The Sun, he said, “A lot of people have been praying for her and hoping that she will drop these bad habits. We feel it’s wrong for her to behave like this. As a young lady she’s not setting a good example. Young people look to her as a mentor, they regard her as an idol and copy her lifestyle. There are people on the island who think she parties way too hard.”
Hollywood stylist Phil Bloch also echoed the pastor’s statements. He said, “I went to one of her concerts and was shocked by what I saw. She has no idea how to cope with this level of fame. She needs to calm down and behave – I think she’s a troubled girl. She’s talented and beautiful, but puts herself in dangerous situations.”

Rihanna's raunchy dance for U.K. TV host

Rihanna left U.K. TV presenter Jonathan Ross red-faced after dancing suggestively for him on his hit talk show.Rihanna walked off the performance stage while singing her track Talk That Talk on The Jonathan Ross Show and strutted over to the host's desk to show off her sexy moves.

The R&B star, clad in a miniskirt, gyrated her hips and bent over while Ross jokingly covered his eyes with his hands. Earlier in the show, which aired in the U.K. on Saturday (03Mar12), Rihanna defended her racy dancing as part of her Barbadian culture.

She told Ross, "I don't really ever notice it, or think about it, until the feedback. It really made me think about this for a long time as to why it is this way, why people find it so sexual, but going back to Carnival in Barbados, the Crop Over (festival), this year I really notice that it's a cultural thing. It's the way we move...
You can see me... half-naked, having a good time... all that good stuff. "I've come to a place where I've earned the right to be OK with my artistry. You have to accept not everyone is going to interpret it the way you do".

"I always stay true to the message in the song, the message that I'm trying to get over with the visual. A lot of the time the music videos are banned, but you can't let your art suffer for that. You have to accept people have their own standards."
