Rihanna Loves Feasting on Fatty Food

Rihanna is simply not hard to feed! For her Rated R album launch in London on Monday (November 16), the Russian Roulette singer requested calorie-rich food that totaled to over 7,000 calories! All she wanted were pizza, fries, doughnuts, crisps, microwave lasagnas, fried noodles, chicken drumsticks and an apple. The concert organizers were thankful that Rihanna did not request hard-to-obtain food. One source admonished that: "When it comes to the big US stars, we're used to getting ridiculously healthy requests. Rihanna was a breath of fresh air. There was none of this carb and gluten-free nonsense!"

So how does this 21 year old diva from Barbados keep herself slim and trim despite her taste for fatty food? Rihanna just explained that she does not watch her weight because performing keeps her from accumulating those unwanted pounds. It is also during these "concert tours" that keeps Rihanna in shape. She said: "Being on tour gets you in shape which is good considering how I eat pretty much whatever I can get my hands on. You perform for an hour and a half so you can work some of it off at least. But not all of it!" Last Monday (November 11), she spent more than $50,000 on flying her family to New York for them to attend her acceptance of the Woman of the Year award from Glamour magazine. We're sure a feast of fatty food followed as they celebrated her win of that prestigious award!

Rihanna Russian Roulette Single Cover Revealed

After the rambunctious media carnival earlier this year about her falling out with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, Rihanna is eager to gain her dominance over the music charts via her new single Russian Roulette. Judging from the album cover itself, it shows Rihanna is indeed all set to recapture the stage again.

What's intriguing is that Rihanna is showing off her sexy bod with just the barbed wire snaking through her skin. The photo for the cover is just apt for the apparent theme of her new album, Rated R, which is due to be out of the misc store shelves on November 23. This will be her first CD since 2007's Good Girl Gone Bad, which went multi-platinum. It will also be her first solo single since she he debacle with ex Chris Brown.

Rihanna and Lady Gaga Combine Forces in "Silly Boy"

Despite the racy Rihanna pictures and Rihanna photos that hound search engines over the Internet, nothing is stopping her from making new music. This time, Rihanna gets a little help from Lady Gaga as they form a formidable divalicious duo in a new single entitled "Silly Boy". Hmmm, is this song meant to imbue a slight nudge towards Rihanna's ex fiance Chris Brown?

Despite the rumors that it was actually Chris Brown who leaked the supposed-to-be private Rihanna photos, the singer has yet to confirm that she is indeed the woman who was exposed in those controversial photos. Nevertheless, controversies won't let a diva down so here's her new single that would surely ignite the fancies of Rihanna fans out there. Rihanna and Lady Gaga's "Silly Boy" is a electro-pop concoction which may a bit sound like "Disturbia" in some parts but one could definitely hear a difference since the perky Lady Gaga is in it. I can't wait to see the actual music video of "Silly Boy". For now, you can just have a fun time listening to it first-hand:
