How Rihanna Learned to "Actually Like" Her Body

16 March, 2011 - It's hardly debatable that Rihanna, 23, is one of the most beautiful women in music -- but like any woman, she's far too hard on her own looks. In the new Shape Issue of Vogue, the pop diva from Barbados says that she's finally learning to love the body she was born with.

"Over the holidays...I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book," says Rihanna (who must have a different book than we do). "I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it."

And here's that last sentence again, in case you want to tape it over your mirror: My body is comfortable, and it's not unhealthy, so I'm going to rock with it. What a fantastic way to look at things.

Part of Rihanna's new appreciation for her body comes from testing its limitations on the set of her upcoming feature film, Battleship. The singer's trainer gave her a varied but tough routine of weight-lifting, core-strengthening and endurance exercises, until she was in the best shape of her life -- and comfortable firing a machine gun in an inflatable raft, amid seven-foot waves and sharks! ("I loved it," says the singer.)
On her first Vogue cover, Rihanna looks gorgeous in a sheer lace dress that floats from her body. With her curves and the sea in the background, she looks like a mermaid -- more specifically, sporting her current flame-red curls, she looks like Disney's Ariel. But she knows how hard it is for the average woman to feel like a cover girl.
"For a woman to accept her body the way it is, is almost impossible," says Rihanna in a behind-the-scenes video from the photo shoot.

"The grass is always greener. I think it's really important that Vogue decided to team up with me and Annie (Leibovitz) on an issue like this, that promotes loving your body the way it is, all different shapes, sizes, curves...I'm very big on dressing to my body type."

Rihanna's the only girl for us

March 12, 2011 - RIHANNA took to the Entertainment Centre stage last night and was sexy, sassy and certainly on the prowl.

She opened with Only Girl in the World, and fans at the sold-out show screamed as if she was. A deafening roar erupted when the pint-sized singer took centre stage in a colourful dress that was discarded a song later for Hard - a sexually charged song featuring shirtless male back-up dancers dressed as soldiers. It was during this number that Rihanna climbed atop a hot pink military tank and straddled the canon in a glittering bodysuit.
It was not a soft start to the show, with the 23-year-old taking to beating up a car with a baseball bat for her hit Shut Up and Drive.

The singer has toured the nation with her Last Girl on Earth show heavy on flesh flash, sexual innuendo and not-so-subtle lyrics, treating audiences to a visual transformation that confirms she really is a Good Girl Gone Bad.

While her radio-friendly tunes appeal to scores of teens and children, the on-stage translation of Rihanna's music is not for the faint-hearted, young or impressionable.

From her on-stage antics to parading around in a seemingly endless series of provocative outfits, Rihanna is all about giving her concert fans value.

She has toured relentlessly since she first topped international charts in 2005.

Ellie Goulding WILL release Rihanna cover

Yay!

Ellie Goulding has confirmed she will release her beautiful cover of Rihanna’s Only Girl as a B-side to her new single Lights. Ellie is certainly proving her stripes when it comes to the fine art of banging out a good cover - see her cover of Your Song by Elton John for more details.
The singer first performed the track for Fearne Cotton on Radio One’s Live Lounge back in December and ever since then we have been frantically You Tubing to get another listen. Unlike with Your Song, this time we didn't have to watch the John Lewis ad on loop.

Lights is due to be released March 11th (which is tommorow, how convenient!) and Ellie is currently in the studio recording her second album, which she reckons has a ‘darker’ sound to her previous stuff. We can't wait to hear it!

But for now we are loving this version of Only Girl and almost prefer it to the original. Which one do you prefer?

Rihanna almost had a wardrobe malfunction

Singer Rihanna almost had a wardrobe malfunction at a recent charity dinner in New York. Her breasts just about stayed in place inside the deep, lacy neckline as she leaned over to greet some famous celebrity friends.

Rihanna had leaned in to say hello to David Bowie and his wife Iman, when the singer almost gave a little too much away, prompting fashion insiders to suggest that she should use sticky tape more often to protect her modesty.

The S&M singer looked stunning in a long black gown as she arrived at the gala held for leukemia awareness, but as she posed for photos, she almost gave the game away beneath the dress's plunging neckline, reports a newspaper. Rihanna was a guest of honour at the event where she was honoured for her dedication and fund-raising work in the fight against the disease.

A brilliantly creative wunkerkind, Jerome started as an intern at Baby Phat at age 15, and began designing collections by 19.  Now a trend forecaster for the French company Promostyl, the 23-year-old took a bit of time to tell you young hopefuls how you, too, can Break into the Fashion Industry.
Jerome credits his family for his artistic inclinations. He says, “My grandfather was an arts and crafts teacher and photographer. My grandmother was my source of fashion. She taught me how to sew at age 8. She also introduced me to the world of fashion illustration. Everyone told me I drew pictures before I learned to walk…”
“… Later, I entered a specialized High School for Art and Design. While in school I took art courses at Parsons, and later attended the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).” Jerome secured his Baby Phat internship due to his talent, drive, and larger than life personality, “In high school I dreamed of working at Baby Phat, and called every day to find out about internships,” he says, “Every time I called, they told me nothing was available.”
