Troubled singer Rihanna has thrown herself into her work since returning to the spotlight.
And despite saying little about the alleged attack on her at the hands of ex-boyfriend R&B singer Chris Brown, the 21-year-old is content to let her actions do the talking.
Rihanna sizzled in a sheer boned basque as she teamed up with rapper Kanye West in the video for his new track Paranoid.
Although she says nothing, her confident appearance speaks volumes.
Despite it being West's video, he was content to let Rihanna take centre stage and she is seen tossing and turning restlessly in bed and striking a series of seductive poses.
She later swaps the rather risque lingerie for an eighties-style white body con dress.
Rihanna has appeared at several high profile showbiz events over the last few weeks, while former lover Brown, 20, has been in hiding.
American Idol Kris rocked Ye’s ‘Heartless’ and won the judges over. He also caught Kanye’s attention. So we guess they'll sing together...umm yea !!!The world might get a double batch of singing “K” action soon: After American Idol winner Kris Allen covered Kanye West’s song “Heartless” during the competition, the rapper became a fan.
“Yo, Kris. Congratulations. Get ready for the big leagues,” Kanye congratulated the singer via a message on Extra.
Kris was listening to what Kanye put out there, and is grateful for the attention from the hip hop artist and entertainment mogul.
“Thank you for liking the song, Kanye. Thank you for writing the song,” he tells Extra. “The whole CD is amazing. Hopefully we can work together. That’d be great. Thanks for the congrats. I appreciate it.”
That’s one “heartless” duet we’d love to see!
Kris could use some Ye in his life. That’s a good look.
L.A. Reid and Island Def Jam Recordings have made it very clear: Spring 2009 belongs to them. During an exclusive event, Island Def Jam's Spring Collection, L.A. Reid and company showcased not only new and exclusive material coming from their flock of established artists, but also shined a massive light on several new acts falling under the pop, R&B and even alternative rock realms.The event, which was held at the Stephen Weiss Studio in downtown NYC, housed some of the industry's most elite personalities and executives, all of whom were personally invited by Mr. L.A. Reid himself.
Leading things off, Reid began the evening's festivities with a vivid two-minute montage of the entire IDJ roster. Shortly after, L.A. presented new visuals from Fabolous ("My Time," "Throw It In The Bag") The-Dream ("Walking On The Moon" ft. Kanye West) and existing clips from Rick Ross and Method Man and Redman's current projects.
Reid then switched gears and introduced several new young acts who will soon be a priority in the IDJ building this spring. Jeremiah, a 21-year-old R&B crooner from Chicago whose single, "Birthday Sex," is rapidly climbing the Billboard charts; and 14-year-old Justin Bieber, who was brought to L.A. Reid by Usher, both received an extremely warm welcome directly after their material was showcased.
With Rihanna in attendance, it was only right that Reid premiere the new, black and white visual for Kanye's next single, "Paranoid," which features the international starlet as the leading lady.
Following the clip, Reid brought Rihanna onstage to present her with a plaque celebrating the success of her latest effort, "Good Girl Gone Bad." The set, which featured the hit singles "Umbrella," "Hate That I Love You" and "Unfaithful," is noted as selling 16 million copies worldwide.
Toward the latter part of the evening, Reid also played new material from Amerie, who was also in attendance; The Noisettes, a new alternative rock group; and the lead-off single, "H-A-T-E U," from Mariah Carey's newest project, "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel."
