10 Most Exciting Things To Watch For At The 54th Annual Grammy Awards

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards is tonight! LL Cool J is the evening’s host, and the guest artist list is an impressive roster of talent from today and yesterday. While you can never know for sure what is going to happen at the Grammys (right, Kanye West?). Here are ten things we are definitely looking forward to.

10. Rihanna teams up with Coldplay. I’ll admit that Coldplay has never been a favorite band of mine. The list explaining why is too long to go into here, but I will concede that Mylo Xyloto is an impressive album. Rihanna lends her vocals — and hopefully daring outfit — on “Princess of China.” Read more…

The Daily Ovulation: The PS22 Chorus Does Rihanna’s “We Found Love”

The adorably talented kids from Brooklyn’s PS22 Chorus have done it again! This time, they’re taking on Rihanna’s hot track “We Found Love” — one of my favorites! — giving the song a uniquely innocent and hopeful flair. Loves it.

Rihanna Starts A Twitter War With The Devil

Rihanna is taking a hard line with Satan. I wonder what he did to piss her off. I was under the impression that the Devil hadn’t joined Twitter yet. If he has, there’s gonna be a fire and brimstone Twitter war of epic proportions. Not a choice I would have made, but I eagerly await Satan’s rebuttal. [Buzzfeed]

I’m not saying Rihanna’s got bad style, but she’s certainly had her fair share of total, uh, fashion mistakes. So it’s interesting that she’s decided to enter the realm of reality fashion television with a new British design competition show. Then again, the new, as-yet-unnamed show is focused on creating outlandish and extreme outfits for pop stars and celebrities. And considering how much Rihanna likes touching her crotch, and wearing practically nothing (or skimpy outfits seemingly made of fake nails and Chicklets),  she probably knows a thing or two about designing wild clothes.

Sadly, Rihanna won’t be hosting the show, but she is set to play a heavy role in casting and producing, and will make several appearances throughout the season. Brit singer Nicola Roberts of the band Girls Aloud is set to host. And the contest winner? Well, they get to design an outfit for Ms. Rihanna herself to wear during a Hyde Park concert in London next summer. [NYMag.com]

Rihanna Pays Homage To Tupac With Icky-Looking Tattoo

Rihanna, girl. I loved Tupac too. RIP! “Me & My Girlfriend” is one of my favorite songs. Such a brilliant metaphor, his girlfriend being his gun. But I choose to remember him in ways that don’t include getting “THUG LIFE” tattooed in white ink on my knuckles. I wish you could have done the same, as your new tat looks like dried, blistered skin. More like FUG LIFE if you ask me. (Side note: I do enjoy the hilarious juxtaposition of the THUG LIFE knuckle tattoos and the John Lennon T-shirt, though.) [ICYDK]

Rihanna Tweets Sexy Bikini Pics From Hawaiian Vacation

Rihanna’s been taking a break in Hawaii this week and has posted no shortage of photos of herself in skimpy bikinis on her Twitter page to keep her fans happy! The Bajan singer came under fire last week for some recent photographs that showed her smoking what many suspected to be a certain illegal substance, something the “Umbrella” singer didn’t deny, but rather alluded to via messages on Twitter.

Last Thursday, she tweeted, “4:20… Hi” (4:20 being a slang term for smoking pot that began in California in the 1970s), and then she dropped another hint on Sunday with the message, “Kush rolled, glass full… I prefer the better things!” (Kush is an Afghan strain of cannabis). And on Wednesday, Rihanna posted pics of herself in a silver twist one-piece with the message “Wake…Bake…#CAKE,” yet another reference to smoking the Maui Wowie. Read more…

A music industry source also chimes in: “They can’t get enough of each other. I don’t see it ending well.” Read more…

A recent segment on NPR about the rehabilitation of Chris Brown’s career is cause for alarm.  No, not because we should care about Chris Brown’s career as a pop singer — but because his young (mostly female) fans, as fervent as ever, continue to support him not only as an artist but as a person. 

After his brutal beating of his then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, one would hope that young people would place responsibility for the violence squarely on Chris Brown. But that’s not the case. Brown’s young, female fans, who continue to support him, blamed Rihanna then and still blame her now for the violence he inflicted upon her. One young fan interviewed by NPR outside of one of Brown’s recent concerts said of the incident, “Obviously she played a part in getting beat, or whatever … However you want to put it.” Keep reading »

Did Rihanna And Chris Brown Secretly Tweet Each Other?

Rihanna and Chris Brown appear to have sent each other “secret love tweets”—and by “secret,” we mean completely public messages posted on a social networking site. The “secret” part? Neither Rihanna nor Brown mentioned the other by name. Brown tweeted yesterday, “Love U more than u know!” and just two minutes later, Rihanna appeared to respond, tweeting, “I’ll always love u #1LOVE.” Read more…
