Rihanna: Topless For Rogue Perfume!

She's gone Rogue, ladies and gentlemen.

Rihanna has a new perfume out, and obviously, she's topless promoting it. If you expected a signature scent free of sexy promotional ads ... you don't know RiRi.

Rihanna Topless For Rogue

She can be seen in just high-cut panties and sexy ankle-strap stilettos on her feet, which she props against an oversize version of the perfume bottle.

Standard Rihanna nude fare, really.

This is a girl, of course, who makes a habit of posing for ultra-steamy Twitter and Instagram photos that she steadily sends out to the masses.

"#ROGUE #byRihanna campaign image!! For the ladies! Men's coming soon..." the singer wrote along with an Instagram sneak peak at the debut ad.

Rogue is actually Rihanna's fourth fragrance, with the hot singer having previously released scents bearing the names Rebelle, Nude and Reb'l Fleur.

Astonishingly, sex appeal is utilized to sell them.

Rihanna's twins made an impromptu appearance in Sweden yesterday.

Taking a break from posing topless on Instagram or in perfume ads, the pop superstar showed up in a see-through mesh top while on her way to the Globe Arena:

  • Rihanna See-Through Shirt
  • Rihanna on Instagram Pic

She knows what makes for good Rihanna pics. Who needs a bra, right?

Earlier, she took advantage of ever-rare free time to do some sight-seeing - in a black T-shirt and white shorts that allowed for plenty of arse to peek through.

"10 mins at the park today with no papz! #OperationPhreshAir mission accomplished!" she triumphantly wrote ... while not exactly dressing incognito.

You can't lament and pander for celebrity gossip attention. Just saying.

Rihanna Posts Instagram Dig at Chris Brown: Where the F--k Were You?!

$

The always-quotable Rihanna posted a cryptic message on her Instagram account yesterday that many think is a dig at ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

  • Rihanna Revealing Dress
  • Chris Brown Reacts

Unlike his "Can't Say No" lyrics, which could be loosely interpreted as an ode to Rihanna (or Karrueche, or any random woman), this seems pretty overt.

The post showed a quote that read, "I hate when ex's say 'I'm here if you need me.' Where the f-ck were you when we were together and I needed you."

While she's never gone on the record with any sort of criticism of Brown (or any other exes), it's hard to imagine she's not talking about him here.

He's not only her most recent ex - Chris Brown and Rihanna split in May after a very public reconciliation - but her most significant relationship by far.

They were together for some time before he pummeled her in 2009, then were rumored to be hitting it on the side even before getting back together.

In between, she was linked to other guys (notably Drake), while he dated Karrueche Tran for a year. All the while, though, they pined for each other.

The breakup, therefore, is likely still raw. It's unclear what caused it, but there's no reason to post this on Instagram unless she wants to make a point:

We also saw Rihanna Twerking to Drake recently. So there's that.

Your move, Chris ... though we understand if you have too much on your plate. Guy's got legal problems up the wazoo these days, it seems like. Rough.

Rihanna Fined $47K For Skipping Deposition

Rihanna just pulled a Lindsay Lohan. No, not torpedoing her own career with felony charges and crippling addiction. Just flaking on a lawsuit deposition.

The superstar's ex-accountants have been trying to depose her for a long time. Rihanna claims they mismanaged her money and owe her millions.

Rihanna Waving

The accountants say Rihanna's at fault, and that she's been blowing off the deposition repeatedly, costing them massive sums in attorneys' fees.

As a result, the firm asked the judge to punish the star. The judge agreed, fining Rihanna a not-so-small amount of $47,050 for their legal bills.

On top of that, Rihanna was ordered to sit for a deposition once and for all August 28. If she doesn't show up, he might dismiss her claim altogether.

Question is whether she's too busy taking Rihanna nude photos to care.

Rihanna-Chris Brown Breakup: All About Trust!

Rihanna is back home after two months of touring Europe, but it’s not likely you'll see her reunite with Chris Brown upon her return to the United States.

In fact, insiders say she's learned her lesson - for good - about their toxic romance.

Rihanna and Chris Brown Instagram

Rihanna and Chris Brown have given their romance many chances, only to yield several failed attempts, including a very public one this year.

While she forgave his brutal assault on her, the 25-year-old found that a lack of trust in her relationship with Chris Brown was the nail in the coffin.

Says a source close to the music superstar:

“[Rihanna] learned that without trust, you ain’t got sh!t. You have to trust the guy you’re with and vice-versa. When trust is gone, everything is bad."

"And that’s something that’s hard as f%*k to repair."

Indeed. And "It can be done, but both people have to be mature and willing to work on it. It’s not possible if only one person puts in the work."

"When [Rihanna] had some downtime on her tour, she would read relationship books and search online about love and how to rebuild trust."

"And guess what? She isn’t crazy. Rihanna did what she had to do.”

While Chris' recently-released "Can't Say No" lyrics would suggest that he's still pining for her, Rihanna appears to be less interested in a reconciliation.

Many felt that she dissed him on Instagram, writing “I hate when ex’s say 'I’m here if you need me.’ Where the f**k were you when we were together?”

She doesn’t name Chris ... but who else would she mean?

It's once again that time when we chronicle Rihanna photos posted to Instagram, admire her latest look and interpret them as subtle messages to Chris Brown.

Or not so subtle in many cases.

Today, though, it's all (or mostly) about the look as our celebrity style chameleon has returned to her natural black hair color and curly texture too! Look:

Rihanna, Natural Hair

In a series of selfies on her Instagram, the 25-year-old gave fans a glimpse at her new (old?) ‘do, including some topless shots that left tongues wagging.

Is Chris Brown's one of them?

Earlier this week, we reported that the couple split following their very public reconciliation because of trust issues, and that she no longer pines for him.

However, if you know the two of them, they always seem to drift apart and get back together again, and she's made some overt references to him lately.

Many felt that she dissed him online when she wrote “I hate when ex’s say 'I’m here if you need me.’ Where the f**k were you when we were together?”

Could the look she's flashing here be meant for him?

  • Rihanna Topless, Short Hair
  • Rihanna, Short Curly Hair

If she's trying to get his attention, she didn't say so directly, writing simply: "Still tryna get used to my hurr, so I threw on some #redlipstick #RiRiWoo."

#RiRiWoo indeed girlfriend. #RiRiWoo ALL DAY.

What do you think of Rihanna's natural hair?

 

Rihanna: Half-Naked, Drunk, Grinding Her Way Across Barbados

Rihanna baring all in Barbados is not new ... but this is still wild even by her standards.

The 25-year-old singer has been partying her way through the eight-day festival bonanza at the Kadooment Carnival in her native Caribbean country.

This video basically sums up the good time she may or many not remember:

She tweeted of the event: "Woke up in paint and a veil from partying in de street all morning!!! #Barbados #FOREDAYmorning CROP OVA almost here!"

The carnival is held to celebrate the annual harvest of the sugar crops.

In other words, it's as good an excuse as any for Rihanna to take all her clothes off, grind on other girls and binge drink. And for that, we thank you Barbados.

Chris Brown and Rihanna: Will They Ever Get Back Together?

Chris Brown and Rihanna are clearly infatuated with one another, but also seem to be toxic when they're actually together. It's a vicious cycle.

Clearly, emotion isn’t enough to keep them together. In fact, it may be the reason why these on-off lovers cannot seem to make a romance work.

Chrianna

“They went through a lifetime together and they’re only in their 20s,” a source close to the pair says. “They’ve had lots of ups and then a HUGE down."

"Sometimes Chris can’t even look at her because it reminds him of the $h!t he did years ago. Even though she forgave him, the world hasn’t."

"That’s the $h!t that’s f*%ked up. It still distracts him from his music and his life. It’s always in his face and it’s something he just can’t shake.”

Both Chris Brown and Rihanna faced the adversity and criticism head on this year when they publicly reconciled ... only to split after just a few months.

It's unclear if a specific catalyst led to the breakup - trust issues are rumored, and she's posted more than a few cryptic messages - or if it just can't work.

“You know, they tried it once and it was great,” the source says.

“They tried it again and it didn’t work. He loves her, but he knows they just can’t work. They can only exist as friends. The relationship $h!t just can’t happen."

"They can’t handle that. It’s too much.”

Yesterday, Chris sent out a very emotional tweet to express his feelings, hinting at his retirement from music and lamenting the reason for his "fame."

“Being famous is amazing when it’s for ur music and talent. I’m tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I’m cool & over it!” he tweeted.

We feel for Chris, honestly, because we have no doubt that he truly does love Rihanna, deeply regrets his actions and is haunted by them every day.

However, he's got to live with and rise above it, plain and simple, and that means not giving the "haters" ammunition or being surprised by the criticism.

It's a vicious cycle of its own, and in some ways it's not fair. But he can't expect people to move on if he's fixated on the event or people's perception of him.

Rihanna took to Instagram yesterday to show off her new grill.

Rihanna and Katy Perry: Best Friends Again!

It's just like old times for Katy Perry and Rihanna.

The "Roar" and "Who You Love" singer caught up with her one-time BFF last night at the pre-album release party for Perry's upcoming effort, Prism.

Looks like the one-time BFF is a BFF again ...

Katy Perry and Rihanna Photo

In a snapshot RiRi posted on Instagram, a beaming Katy Perry, who just released a duet with John Mayer, cozies up to the Barbados-bred beauty.

Rihanna's lips are pursed, playfully.

"She. X She. #KatyAnna #RIHunited," Rihanna captioned the photo, the first we've seen of the two of them - once seemingly inseparable - in some time.

The reason for their supposed rift? Chris Brown, who Rihanna very publicly reconciled with earlier this year ... but who is once again out of the picture.

Perry reportedly cooled to the friendship after Rihanna took back Chris, who infamously assaulted her, though she never confirmed this publicly.

"I know a lot of people out there with the most detrimental entourages, they are the root of their demise," Perry said this year (without naming Rihanna).

"It's really unfortunate but you can't save some people. My days of celebrity saving are over," she added amid reports that they had a falling out over Breezy.

In any case, all is right with the world right now ... particularly if they start going to strip clubs, making it rain and making out in future Instagram photos.

Just a few weeks ago, Rihanna natural hair photos dazzled us on Instagram. Feels like ages ago, having seen this rocker style ... or whatever it is.

In the photo above, the 25-year-old appears in a matching sports bra and bottoms with elastic that read "G4Life" (from her River Island Collection).

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky: New Couple Alert?!

Rihanna has been hooking up with rapper A$AP Rocky, according to reports, and not while cameras are rolling for their upcoming music video for "Work."

Things are reportedly heating up between them off set as well, with insiders citing the "obvious chemistry" and "mutual attraction" to each other.

Chris Brown may want to avert his eyes and distract himself by listening to Alanis Morissette or actually doing his community service for once.

The seriousness of any Rihanna-A$AP Rocky relationship is highly questionable, of course, as the music star is constantly flirting with guys.

She's also a celebrity gossip mainstay who loves to spark speculation and tease the masses with hints of what she's doing on social media.

Still, one wonders if she's finally ready to let Chris go.

Rihanna and Brown still "love and respect each other," sources say, but he's likely back with Karrueche, so her moving on wouldn't be a big shock.

A$AP Rocky seems like as good a catch as any, right? Stylish, talented and good-looking, he compliments her well ... enough for a video at least.

What do you think? Can you see them as a couple?

Note to NYC fans: Don't mess with #BadGirlRiRi.

During an outing in the West Village this week, Rihanna was approached by throngs of supporters, some of whom were a bit overzealous in her eyes.

When they blocked her exit, she was not pleased.

“Back it up,” RiRi snapped. “Back it the f**k up!”

Earlier, when one fan tried to follow the singer into her hotel, Chris Brown's former flame stared her down and pushed her away without a word.

Not that Rihanna fans are turned off by her 'tude.

After watching her diss that particular girl, the rest of the crowd burst out into laughter and applause, with one eyewitness even yelling, “She’s so cute!”

Rihanna and One Direction's response - or lack thereof - to Miley Cyrus' VMA performances may have been highlight of the entire pop music Super Bowl.

If you missed it, the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards will best be remembered for Miley Cyrus Twerking, wearing latex underwear and grinding on Robin Thicke.

Not necessarily remembered in a good way, though. While the 20-year-old wild child was performing, the camera panned to the crowd. And found this:

Rihanna, One Direction Watch Miley Cyrus

Rihanna and the five young men of One Direction, who were sitting near each other inside the Barclays Center, were not impressed to say the least.

RiRi's blank expression said it all, while Harry Styles' furrowed brow was equally classic. We'd wager that they spoke for most of the viewing public.

After all, it's not everyday you see a former Disney star Twerking in pigtails and a onesie, slapping butts and molesting a 36-year-old married father.

Rihanna and 1D are holding up okay, but we're just waiting for the class action PTSD lawsuit against Miley from those feeling victimized by this display.

Rihanna with no makeup is just as beautiful as Rihanna with makeup, if not more so. The singer proved this and then some with an all-natural selfie:

Given that we most recently saw her promoting her MAC cosmetics line or attending haute Fashion Week parties, it's easy to forget how naturally beautiful she is.

Without makeup and professional styling, and referencing her own David Guetta-produced summer smash, Rihanna captioned the photo shown above:

"What now?"

Really, what else is there to say about an image of this caliber? Some things, like Rihanna with no makeup or Miley Cyrus Twerking, defy description.

Rihanna, Slow Loris Pose For Photo; Two Dudes Get Arrested in Thailand

Stopping by the island paradise of Phuket, Thailand, on her Diamonds world tour last Friday, Rihanna took a selfie with an endangered slow loris.

"Look who was talkin dity to me!" Rihanna captioned the pic.

Soon after, two men got arrested over this. Why, you ask?

Rihanna, Loris

Little did Rih know she was aiding local authorities in enforcing a law banning Thai citizens from charging tourists money to take photos with the primate.

According to the Phuket News, officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources began investigating the photo at the urging of animal welfare groups.

A police raid turned up two suspects, 20-year-old and 16-year-old males, who were both taken into custody. All because Rihanna's pic went viral.

The men could face up to four years in prison and big fines while the cute critters in their possession will be returned to a national park in Phang Nga.

The slow loris, which is native to Southeast Asia, has seen its numbers dwindle dramatically since the 1960s due to deforestation and the wildlife trade.

Many of the animals seen in markets often have high mortality rates due to illegal capturing and extensive abuse suffered at the hands of their keepers.

Hence, wildlife's conservation groups were concerned that such pics put online by Rihanna could increase the danger to the protected species.

No one's targeting Rihanna in the investigation, just the fact that there were guys with a loris who were offering it up for photos with passing tourists.

Along with the slow loris, the Barbadian singer uploaded an Instagram shot of her feeding elephants, writing, "They all hail Empress when she walk by."

Word. Rihanna wasn't done causing a Thailand stir, either.

The controversial star posted NSFW tweets about taking in an X-rated sex show in Phuket's red-light district, which also sparked the interest of local police.

Those shows are against the law.

Hopefully, as her tour moves to Singapore and Australia, she'll stick to taking selfies with non-endangered wild animals like koalas, kangaroos or Chris Brown.

Teyana Taylor, Rihanna Feud on Twitter Over "Caught Up in the Rapture" Mockery

Teyana Taylor and Rihanna are engaged in a Twitter feud, with the fashion model and R&B singer calling out the pop star for ridiculing her on Instagram.

Yes, this is an actual, heated celebrity beef. Allow us to explain:

It all started when Rihanna posted a video of her male hairstylist performing a parody of Taylor's "Caught Up in the Rapture" cover wearing a curly wig.

Taylor shared a video of her performing the same track and blasting the "We Found Love" star on Twitter. She was NOT happy, for real. Taylor tweeted:

"Don’t play wit me @rihanna [expletive] all this industry [expletive], YOU & I know each other VERY well. Throwing subs 4 wat? u got my #, don’t show off."

Rihanna didn't respond. But that didn't deter Teyana Taylor:

“y’all could bully everybody else & get away wit that [expletive] but that [expletive] ain’t gone work ova here. so y’all could miss me with that NAVY [expletive]."

Rihanna finally responded, saying “I REFUSE to help your career…you will NOT get an @ from me! Not til you pay me! #nomorefreepromo #iRefuse.”

Cooler heads prevailed, at least in part, because that tweet from Rihanna has since been deleted, and Taylor has quieted down, for the moment anyway.

The Instagram videos remain, however. Your move, Teyana.

Chris Brown SLAMS Rihanna in "I'm Still" Verse: Listen Now!

Chris Brown is lashing out at Rihanna in the new DJ Khaled song "I’m Still," a collaboration with Breezy and other stars in the R&B / hip-hop genres.

While the original boasts rhymes from Ace Hood, Wiz Khalifa and Wale, Chris Brown has no problem taking the spotlight on this gritty, unreleased verse.

He raps, “Every n--ga in the industry done f--ked my b--ch/ And all my n--gas said I told ya / Now all these rap n--gas wanna be political."

"Nah, f--k that I’m a real lyrical killer!”

The unreleased verse did not make the cut for Khaled's album, but hit the Internet this week with much fanfare, given the controversial subject matter.

The 24-year-old, who recently said he lost his virginity at age 8, split up with Rihanna for the most recent time in May after their very public reconciliation.

While he has repeatedly said beating Rihanna in 2009 was his deepest regret, he doesn't seem to regret dropping non-subtle lyrical bombs at her expense.

Rihanna Kicked Out of Mosque Over Racy Photos in Abu Dhabi

Rihanna was kicked out of a famed Abu Dhabi mosque over the weekend after posing for some racy photos. By United Arab Emirates standards, anyway.

As far as Rihanna pictures go? This is as tame as it gets! She's even covered up in a head-to-toe (albeit form-fitting) outfit and hijab head-cover. Take a look:

Rihanna, Mosque

The rules of the holy site being what they are, Rihanna was asked to leave the premises after her provocative poses and red lipstick ruffled some feathers.

A representative for the mosque told local media outlets in a statement:

"She left without entering, after being asked to do so, due to the fact that she had taken some pictures that do not conform with the conditions and regulations."

Those rules are "put in place by the Centre’s management to regulate visits in a way that takes the status and sanctity of the mosque into consideration.”

The violation on Rihanna's part? Drawing attention to her sexuality. While a far cry from Rihanna Twerking in front of the mosque, this did the trick.

The mosque spokesperson went on to add that “the singer” came for a private tour to the mosque at a private gate that is not meant for public visitors.

Without identifying herself or coordinating the visit in advance, she posed for photos at Sheikh Zayed mosque that many felt showed a lack of respect.

No police action was taken in any case, and Rihanna covered up for her live concert in the United Arab Emirates' capital in a Bedouin inspired look.
