Truth be told about celebrities: Rihanna

If you're one of the world's hottest pop stars, and you're being shot for
Vogue Brasil
, what do you do?
Take your top off, duh!

Ri-Ri got back to her 'Good Girl Gone Bad' roots, doing what she does best and stripping off for the sultry photo shoot. Being fashion of course, a couple of pieces of couture were thrown in for good measure.

Not much else to say really, except that you can clearly see all of Ri-Ri's tatts.

Calvin Harris brought out Rihanna during his Sunday night performance at Coachella.

Rihanna, who wasn’t scheduled to appear, surprised the thousands in the crowd, performing her hit song “We Found Love,” which she released with Harris in 2011.

Rihanna sang from a stage set up in the middle of the crowd, rather than the main stage that Harris was DJing on. After she wrapped singing, she yelled “take it away Calvin” and walked down the stairs of the tall platform so that she could stealthily exit the very crowded audience.

This year’s Coachella marked the second time Rihanna joined Harris to sing “We Found Love,” following her 2012 surprise cameo at the desert festival. That year, Harris performed in the Sahara tent, rather than the large Main Stage where he headlined the 2016 fest. Harris’ set was the only time Rihanna appeared as a performer at Coachella this weekend, though she was spotted at the Neon Carnival party Saturday night where she was photographed with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Big Sean and John Newman also came out to surprise the crowd during Harris’ set. The rapper sang a few songs, including his smash “I Don’t F–k With You” toward the top of the set, while Newman closed the hour with “Blame It On the Night,” on which he collaborated with the DJ. After “Blame It On the Night,” fireworks lit up the sky, before festival-goers were ushered out of the grounds.

Harris’ hourlong show was over 20 minutes delayed, as the DJ showed up on stage much later than his scheduled time of 10:35 p.m. with no explanation. While Harris is a Coachella vet, the sound seemed to be a bit muffled during his set on Sunday and the crowd was fairly low energy.

Harris was at the helm of Sunday night’s lineup of Coachella, becoming the first EDM artist to ever do so. His set was the final performance of the three day fest, closing out weekend one of Coachella. (He’ll be back next weekend to headline Sunday for weekend two, as well.)

Though some rumors swirled beforehand, Harris’ girlfriend Taylor Swift did not appear on stage with her DJ boyfriend — who she publicly spoke out about in a recent Vogue interview — but she was on hand at the festival, posting social media photos in the desert throughout the weekend. After Harris performed, Swift posted a video on Twitter, saying “I’ll never forget this moment. So incredible!” The tweet showed that she was in the crowd, along with a group of friends, including Lorde who surprised at Coachella the night before with Disclosure.

We’re going to go ahead and guess that Rihanna probably wasn’t expecting this fan to have such an incredible voice when she passed him her microphone at her gig in Cincinnati.

We mean, her reaction says it all, right?

RiRi decided to give the fans their own Four Five Seconds of fame during her gig, as many artists do, passing her microphone down to the front row.

She was stunned, surprised and quite frankly blown away, however, when the fan - identified as Ohio State University administrator, Terah Stewart by Cincinnati News - belted out the lyrics with one heck of an amazing singing voice.

Slay, Terah.

Selena Gomez really let loose when she returned to her home state of Texas over the weekend.

The "Good for You" singer showed up at Reata Restaurant's rooftop bar in Fort Worth, and did not miss an opportunity to bust a move to Rihanna's song, "Work."

The night off for the 23-year-old star appeared to be an engagement party for Gomez's cousin, Priscilla DeLeon, who tweeted that she got engaged over the weekend. "We have waited our whole lives for this #whyamIactinglikeigotaring," Gomez captioned a photo of her sweetly kissing the bride-to-be.

Gomez had no problem posing for pics during the celebration, and was even seen happily singing along to Drake's "Hotline Bling" with her friends. DeLeon's brother, David, also tweeted out a slew of pics from the party, including a family photo.

Rihanna announced the release of two tracks for radio airplay on Wednesday (30Mar16) in typically racy fashion.

The pop superstar is giving fans the chance to listen to Needed Me and Kiss It Better, two songs from her hit album Anti, on radio stations from 7am U.S. Eastern Standard Time (EST).

In addition, a promotional video for Kiss It Better will be released on the video hosting service Vevo at noon U.S. EST on Thursday (31Mar16), and the Barbadian singer teased explicit stills from the video on her Instagram account.

The images, showing Rihanna completely naked underneath a gossamer thin sheet left little to the imagination, with her nipples are clearly on display.

The announcement was made by the star via social media, where she wrote, "#KISSITBETTER and #NEEDEDME will both be serviced to radio tomorrow morning at 7am EST. #ANTI."

She later posted the pictures of the forthcoming video, teasing the day of the video release, "#KISSITBETTERVIDEO #THURSDAY #NOON on VEVO!"

Rihanna is currently riding high in the U.S. charts, with her previous single, Work a collaboration with Canadian rapper Drake spending its sixth week at number one on this week's (beg28Mar16) Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Her album, Anti, is currently at number three in the Billboard 200 chart after two separate stints at number one since its release in January (16).

The singer's tour supporting the album has also proved a hit with the stars, despite early production troubles which delayed its start by two weeks, as stars including models Irina Shayk, Naomi Campbell and John Mayer were all seen taking in her concert at the Barclays Centre, New York on Sunday (27Mar16).

Rihanna is the queen of cool and utter #goals when it comes to beauty and fashion.

In her latest music video, ‘Kiss It Better’, the singer’s doing her usual thang; writhing around with just a slip of fabric to cover her modesty. Nothing new to see here.

But, when she finally unravels herself, her fans are treated to a glimpse of her signature bold lip, smokey eyeshadow and, oddly, a rather fetching unibrow.

Yes, this is on purpose and wasn’t a make-up artist’s slip-up.

It seems like our girl RiRi is trying to make the unibrow ‘a thing’. But she’s no Frida Kahlo, and we’re not sure she can rock it.

We have to admit that despite everyone’s eyebrow game getting stronger, with bolder and bigger brows emerging all the time, we never saw this coming.

It’s not exactly an easy look to werk. After all, this is the kind of stuff that would’ve gotten us bullied for the entire duration of school.

Rihanna may be able to pull it off, but we would stay firmly under that sheet until someone got us some tweezers. Pronto.

Rihanna has launched her latest kicks for Puma: fur slides (similar to the pair she recently wore on the cover of Fader and has been seen wearing while out and about).

Debuting on April 22, the Fur Slide by Fenty gives Puma’s classic Leadcat silhouette a stylish makeover with its faux fur strap and smooth satin foam backing. The slides are offered in white, black and shell (a light pink shade), with Puma stating that the kicks are “great to rock with socks or without.” It’s hardly a shocking suggestion considering RiRi has been seen wearing it both ways (and pulling off the look, of course).

The fur slides are RiRi’s latest footwear designs for Puma; she’s released her highly coveted Creepers, which sold out in a few hours, and Trainers, which dropped in February. More colors of the latter pair are expected to launch this season. Until then, you can find the furry sandals, priced at $80, at Puma stores, puma.com and global retailers April 22 at 10 a.m. Set those alarms, stat.

Get ready for summer!!!! #THEFURSLIDE will be available on Puma.com on April 22 at 10am #FENTYXPUMA

Rihanna was feeling damn good last night, and so it would seem, was her booty.

The 'S&M' singer was snapped squeezing her derriere during her performance at the Staples Center in LA last night, as part of her 'Loud Tour,' which kicked off at the beginning of the month.

The 23 year-old is known for her risqué outfits, suggestive dance moves and raunchy poses, but this shot begs the question- what next?

While many artists such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears have been known to wear only the bare essentials onstage, not since Madonna have we seen such provocative dance moves.

Rihanna was snapped thrusting her crouch forward and bending over for the camera during her performance, with one cameraman taking full advantage of the 'show.'

With songs such as 'Rude Boy,' 'S&M,' and 'Good Girl Gone Bad,' we are hardly shocked at this recent performance, but having established her career on such a raunchy image, we wonder how much further it can evolve.

Perhaps Ri Ri will become too X-Rated for the mainstream, perhaps she will have an image overhaul, or perhaps she will continue to be just a very hands on artist.

What do you think?
