Rihanna hosted an autograph signing session celebrating the release of her new coffee table book, titled “Rihanna: The Last Girl On Earth,” Wednesday (Oct 27) at a Barnes & Noble in New York City. The book documents the pop singer with hundreds of never-before-seen photos as she records her Rated R album and performs all over the world for her “Last Girl On Earth” Tour.

“I think it was really special to have behind-the-scenes photos – you know, pictures that the fans haven’t seen before – all together of a very specific moment of my life, an album of my life,” Rihanna told MTV News. “They just get to see all the things that they hadn’t seen that were going on behind the scenes; really cool stuff, not typical. They’re really fun photos. And even for me, when I look at them, they say so much. …. Photos really tell a thousand words.”

Rihanna Covers December 2010 Issue of Marie Claire UK Magazine


Rihanna just can’t seem to keep her mouth shut about last year’s pre-Grammy incident!


Conveniently in time for the release of her new album, RiRi talks about how she felt after the incident, her wake-up call, and her new relationship with Matt Kemp in an upcoming issue of Marie Claire UK (she’s featured on the cover). Peep a few excerpts from the interview below…




On how she felt after the accident:


“God has a crazy way of working, and sometimes when stuff happens you feel like, ‘What did I do to deserve this?’ Why was it backfiring on me?’ But I needed that wake-up call in my life. I needed a turning point, and that’s what God was giving to me.”


On her wake-up call:


“All this terrible stuff they say to you, it breaks you down. [But] once you’re back on your feet — if you ever make it back on your feet — that’s the ultimate achievement. I remember I was in New York at the Trump Hotel and I woke up and I just knew I was over it. It was a different day. I felt different. I didn’t feel lonely,” she recalls. I felt like I wanted to get up and be in the world. That was a great, great feeling.”


On her new relationship:


“I feel like I smile for real this time. The smiles come from inside, and it exudes in everything I do. People feel my energy is different. When I smile they can tell that it’s pure bliss and not just a cover up.”

MUSIC NEWS: Rihanna Makes it Rain with Nicki Minaj + Young Jeezy’s “Thug Motivation 103″ Album Pushed Back + Ameriie Reveals 5th Album Title Read mor


Rihanna has already said that she’s collaborating with rapper Drake, and now the Pop/R&B singer is speaking on her collab with Drizzy’s Young Money labelmate Nicki Minaj. Rihanna says she and the Young Money femcee worked together on a song called “Raining Men” and spoke highly of Nicki’s skills as a writer in a recent interview with Capital FM. She said:




“You know I worked with her before on Rated R and she was just writing me some really good ballads and I couldn’t wait to work with her again and finally have her on my record. It’s a really fun song. It’s called ‘Raining Men’. No, nothing like the original. It’s quite up-tempo but kind of quirky and funny.


[Nicki] has a great buzz and she has a ‘thing’ to her. She is a star and that’s why people love her. She’s also really entertaining with her visual as well as her lyrics and she has a great melody. I’m really amazed that she can write like that. [Nicki] not only raps but she can write songs too. It was really easy actually. We were going back and forth with the texts on how we were going to get to do it because we were in two different places and had two opposite schedules.”


Rihanna’s upcoming fifth album Loud hits stores next month (Nov 12)!



YOUNG JEEZY’S NEW ALBUM PUSHED BACK (AGAIN)


Fans eagerly awaiting the release of Young Jeezy’s new album Thug Motivation 103 are going to have to wait until closer to Christmas as the project has been reportedly pushed back to December 14th.



The album serves as Jeezy’s fourth and is preceded by the singles “Jizzle,” “All White Everything” and “Lose My Mind,” neither of which are doing so well on the charts right now unfortunately, which would probably explain why the album keeps getting pushed back.



AMERIE REVEALS 5TH ALBUM TITLE


R&B singer Ameriie has announced the title of her fifth studio album. The “One Thing” singer recently premiered a number of tracks from the new album at a nightclub in Paris and revealed that it will be called Cymatika Vol. 1.



Speaking on her new album, Ameriie, who recently added an extra “i” to her name, said:


“It’s completely different! It’s not a hip-hop, R&B, soul album at all. It’s called Cymatika Vol. 1, I’ll have other volumes as well. Cymatika is the study of visual sound. As humans, we’re all energy and light and spirit; and sound plays a part in that because sound is simply vibrating energy. That’s what this album is about… about life and who we are, not being afraid to be who we are, and not forgetting our spirit.


“The album is influenced by new wave and acid house, which I explored in my album Because I Love It in 2007, which was released in Europe. For the fans who heard that, they’ll say, ‘Oh, I could see this coming’. For fans who loved the first album, they’re going to be like, ‘What is this?!’ But I grew up listening to everything, and this is where I am now. And it feels right for me.”


Cymatika Volume 1 is due for release sometime next year.

Music News: New Beyonce Single in a Few Weeks? + Drake Records Song with Rihanna + New Justin Bieber Video!

Word on the sidewalk is that Beyonce could be making her big comeback a lot sooner than we thought! Earlier this month, producer/songwriter Sean Garrett said the Queen of Pop’s upcoming fourth studio album will be her “biggest album ever” and that they plan to “take it to a whole other level.” And now, another producer is spilling the beans about Beyonce’s highly anticipated new project.

“Listening to New B record Dream wrote … F—INg INSANE! WOw!! She About to Kill the game again! Had to Listen again!! Y’all C in 3 weeks!” producer Los Da Mystro, a frequent collaborator of The-Dream, who worked with Tricky Stewart on Beyoncé’s hit “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” tweeted. “Thats what they sayn now.. But it is the music Business. could b sooner r lata.”

Los Da Mystro later told MTV:

“She’s an artist that knows exactly what she wants to do,” he told MTV News. “She’s going to give you directions [like], ‘Here’s where I’m going, so here’s where I need you to be.’ And, you know, I’m a person that follows direction well. [And she'll be like], ‘So this is the sound, this is the vibe; make it happen.’ And I write and she likes it or she doesn’t. And in this case she did, and there you have it.”

Move out the way folks, the Queen is back!

News on Drake recording with Rihanna and Justin Bieber’s new video when you click the link below!

Hip-Hop’s most predictable rapper and one of Pop’s worst entertainers are teaming up to bless our ears with what we are sure to be a hit record just because they are who they are and whoever works with them on this is going to make sure of it! Drake recently spoke with MTV News backstage at his Miami tour kick-off last week and told them that he and Rihanna just recorded a song together.

“I just did this great song with Rihanna so I hope we get to shoot a video for that too,” he revealed to MTV News backstage at his Miami tour kick-off this week. “I’m really excited about that song.”

Drake had reportedly written for Rihanna in the past, but the track didn’t make her album’s final cut. And when he mentioned their new track, Drake refused to speak in greater detail about the collab, which will reportedly show up on Rihanna’s new album Loud (due in stores this November): “I don’t know if I’m supposed to talk about that actually.” ( Source: Rap-Up via MTV )

This ought to be interesting…

Justin Bieber tweeted yesterday that the music video for his latest single “U Smile” is due to premiere this week! He told his Beliebers exclusively that his new video would hit the web this Thursday (Sep 30).

“In 3 days U SMILE video comes,” he wrote early Monday (September 27). “And I took the opportunity 2 make a video 4 the fans, about a fan, and how we could fall IN LOVE. Love Grows. #LoveGrows.”

JB went on to discuss love and whether or not he’d date a fan:

“U know u wake up and you go online sometimes and see your words twisted or isolated from the whole meaning. It is frustrating…. …you become guarded. Sometimes u don’t know who to trust. U say one thing to someone and it comes out totally different…. ….that is why i like twitter. i can say it how it is. no one twisting things so people want to know where it is,” he explained. “My fans and i we LOVE EACH OTHER. But to be IN LOVE with someone u need to get to know them personally I get asked all the time would I date a fan and my answer I would date whoever I fall IN LOVE with, and yes that could be a fan.”

And speaking of “love,” word is the young singer is dating singer Jasmine Villegas who is currently opening for him on his “My World” Tour.

Rihanna Takes Over Her Own Twitter and Burns Her 5-Head + She’s Putting Out a New Album


Pop singer Rihanna seized her own Twitter account from her record label Friday (Aug 27) so that she can get close to those fans of hers…



Then, a couple days later, to prove even further that she’s in the driver’s seat when it comes to her Twitter account, Rihanna posted a twitpic (see above) of her forehead, which she says she burned while trying to curl her new hair with her new curling iron:



“New hair….new curling iron BURN……damn 5head always in the way”


Sounds like RiRi has somewhat of a sense of humor!


Continue reading for details on her new album and her rumored first single…



In related news, Universal recently revealed to media outlets that the pretend singer is due to drop a brand new album before the end of the year. And french music site Musique Evos is reporting that the currently untitled project is going to hit stores on November 2nd, just weeks before the 1-year anniversary of her last album Rated R.


Furthermore, our friends over at That Grape Juice say that everyone’s favorite Bajan Billy Goat will promote her new album with an upbeat lead single titled “Cheers.”



Too bad we aren’t “cheery” about Def Jam subjecting us to even more torture with an entirely new Rihanna project that will most likely flop even harder than her last album did. And don’t even get us started on that sub-par tour and her equally (if not, more) sub-par promotional performances…


Are you looking forward to a new album from Rihanna?

Rihanna's Style Gets Called 'Annoying'


Whilst the majority of us love Rihanna's confident, edgy rock look, there are some that don't.
One person who has made her feelings of dislike clear is Gossip Girl actress, Taylor Momsen.


According to Digital Spy, the actress has slammed Rihanna for allegedly “co-opting a rock look”.Teen Taylor said:


“People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred, now Rihanna's wearing f***in' leather jackets, and it's really annoying.”


FYI Taylor, leather jackets aren't really classed as 'rock' are they?
