For someone so averse to talking about her relationship with Chris Brown in interviews, Rihanna has no problem using it to sell records.
Case in point: Days after the release of her Complex magazine cover story, in which she walked out when asked about a duet with her former abuser and current jumpoff, she released the cover art for her single, 'Stay' -- and it features her embracing Brown.
The presence of the Chris Brown duet 'Nobody's Business' has been such a huge part of the narrative surrounding Rihanna's new 'Unapologetic' album that it's hard to imagine what the record would have sounded like without the song. And while the paparazzi-teasing duo may never come clean about the true nature of their relationship, we do know one thing: Their in-studio reunion was Jay-Z's idea.
Rihanna wastes no opportunity to to flaunt her boobs nor her relationship with Chris Brown. The shirt averse singer got pretty peeved when Complex magazine had the gall to ask her about the latter, though. Because despite being all over her public Instagram account, it's 'Nobody's Business.'
Because one Rihanna cover just isn't enough. Complex shot seven -- yes, you read right, SEVEN!!! -- covers featuring Rihanna for their February/March 2013 issue. It's the first time RiRi has graced the mag's cover since June/July of 2007. It's been a while, so the mag is making up for lost time and rolling out the red carpet for the 'Diamonds' singer.
'Princess of China' might make Coldplay and Rihanna the musical kings and queen of Britain. RiRi and Chris Martin's band are among the leading contenders for the 2013 BRIT Awards. The annual U.K. awards show today (Jan. 10) revealed its list of nominees, which also included a surprise nod for the late Amy Winehouse.
The stars are coming out for the 2013 Grammy Awards. Rihanna and Taylor Swift are among the first batch of performers announced for the 55th Annual Grammys, along with fun., Mumford & Sons and the Black Keys.
Talk about returning to the scene of the crime. Rumor has it that Chris Brown and Rihanna will have their coming out party at the 2013 Grammys and that they want to perform together.
Rihanna was out and about in Los Angeles on Sunday, Jan. 6 and no, she didn't Instagram any topless or overly sexy shots. Instead, the singer, who hung out at the My Studio nightclub, showed off a brand new hairstyle. She traded her short, black pixie, which shows off all of her facial features, for a long, silky, ombre look. She often has long hair courtesy of extensions, but the color here is super standout.
After throwing a celebratory tantrum following his 2012 Grammy wins, Chris Brown is desperate to create some more controversy in 2013. And this time, he wants Rihanna to be a part of the drama, because she's into that sort of thing.
Don't worry, though -- from the sounds of it, this one won't end in an arrest or black eyes (or worse, cryptic Instagram photos).
Rihanna and Chris Brown haven't been back together all that long, so it's still news when they go out for an Icee. The still-pretending-they're-not-together couple headed out to a convenience store in L.A. on Wednesday in RiRi's brand-new Porsche.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but a black and white spotted comforter? Well, that bedding reveals the truth. It appears that Rihanna and Chris Brown spent New Years Eve together.
