Who said romance was dead? Chris Brown treats Rihanna to a Slurpee as pair enjoy daytime date

By Fay Strang


They've had a tempestuous on/off relationship over the last few months, confusing their fans.

But it seems all is well in the world of Rihanna and Chris Brown as the pair stepped out for a Slurpee together earlier this week.

After seeing in the New Year together, the couple looked relaxed and dressed down as they drove to get some iced drinks in Chris's sports car.

Keeping cool: The couple seemed to feel the need to cool off with some ice cold drinks

The 24-year-old Diamonds singer looked on-trend but casual for her drinks date with her man, showing off her famous figure in a pair of skin-tight blue jeans paired with black lace-up shoes.

Showing a hint of stomach, she wore a cropped red sweatshirt and large gold hooped earrings hung from her ears.

The 23-year-old R'n'B singer also looked dressed-down but stylish in khaki trousers, a black hoodie and a dark jacket.

Confusing relationship: The couple seem to be well and truly back on after speculation over the status of their relationship

Daytime date: The couple both get out at the Slurpee shop, with their entourage in tow

Very much together: Although neither of them have officially confirmed it, they seems like they're back together

Stocking up: The star clutches a bag of goodies and a drink for herself as she leaves the shop

While his girlfriend was instantly recognisable, Chris mad more of an attempt to go incogntio, wearing a blck cap on his head and pulling his hood up over it.

The next day Rhianna was flying solo as she made her first trip of the new year to a nail salon to get her talons seen to.

The singer was spotted leaving the beauty parlour wearing a tiny pair of cut-off denim shorts in Hollywood in Thursday.

Fixing her hair: Rihanna plays with her cropped hair as the couple drive off together

Making a call: Chris jumps out of the car to make a phone call after they stop off in LA

Driving off: The couple hop into Chris's sports car during their day out together

Despite giving passers by more than an eyeful of her slender legs, the 24-year-old was dressed rather casually.

Accompanying the cute ripped shorts the singer wore a large grey hoodie, with what looked like not much else underneath.

Interestingly the hoodie featured a large letter 'C' on the left hand side which could perhaps be a reference to her Chris.

Day out: The two musicians seem completely comfortable in each others' company as they make their stop off

Legs out: Rihanna was spotted leaving a nail salon on Thursday in Hollywood

Short shorts: Rihanna was dressed casually in a pair of cut-off denim shorts with a hoodie

Cheese: Rihanna was more than happy to pose alongside a young fan as she left the salon

Opting for comfort the Bajan beauty wore a pair of black trainers.

She accessorised her outfit with a number of bracelets and thin necklace, while her cropped hair looked un-styled.

Instead of carrying a bag Rihanna just held her phone and presumably some money in her hands.

Happy: The singer looked in high spirits as she chatted to excited fans who wanted pictures

Strike a pose: Even on her day off Rihanna is ready to strike a pose at the drop of a hat

As she left the salon a number of fans had gathered to meet their idol and RiRi kindly stopped to greet them all one by one, as well as pose for pictures.

The Rude Boy singer caused controversy earlier in the week when she posted yet another image of cannabis to her Twitter page.

Uploading a picture of a bud of the drug, she captioned it: 'This nug look like a skull or am I just....?'

Meanwhile her relationship with Chris has also seen her come under fire.

Au naturel: Unusually Rihanna wasn't any sunglasses and she appeared to be make-up free

The Barbadian singer spent New Year's Eve with the 23-year-old singer and posted a snap of herself in bed and Chris appeared to be with her.

'Good morning! Still haven't slept lol #hello2013,' the Diamonds singer tweeted with a photo of herself peering out from a spotted duvet.

The couple's romantic morning came after they were paid a reported $10 million to perform at an intimate New Year's Eve gig for guests at an African billionaire's private party in the Ivory Coast.

Young fans: Rihanna was blasted earlier in the week for tweeting a picture of cannabis

After the gig on Monday they jumped on a waiting jet to fly to the Caribbean island of St Barts so they could celebrate in private.

The pair also spent Christmas Day together and were spotted snuggling while watching the Los Angeles Lakers in action at the Staples Centre.

More bite: Rihanna wears ugly set of gold grills over her teeth to dinner as she steps out in tiny hotpants

By Amelia Proud and J J Anisiobi


When Rihanna decides to dress up for a night out she doesn't stop at just picking the right outfit to wear.

The pop star showed that even when she looks good on the outside she still struggles with her inner beauty as she ruined her smile with a gold grill, on Tuesday night.

The 24-year-old stepped out for dinner at her favourite restaurant sporting the mouth accessory as she rocked up to Giorgio Baldi for dinner with friends.


Big mouth: Rihanna wore a pair of gold grills over her bottom set of teeth as she went to dinner at Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica


Sad day: Rihanna paid thoughtful tributes to those who lost their lives on 9/11 and was reflective, even at dinner

Her grill, which is a gold or bejeweled dental apparatus that sits over the teeth in the same way that a gum shield does, did nothing positive for her appearance.

Although they can be easily applied and removed as a temporary fashion accessory, they normally worn by men.

They are generally worn as a status symbol of wealth in the hip hop community and have been earning people street cred ever since the early 1980s when the blinged-out teeth became a full-blown hip-hop fashion statement.

Earlier this year Chris Brown joined rappers Kanye West, Nelly, Lil Wayne, and Lil Jon in the trend by proudly flashing his golden chompers to the dancing crowds at AV Nightclub in Hollywood.

Olympic swimming champion Ryan Lochte also wore a pair of grills after winning gold, which were customised to show the American flag.

Rihanna herself first started wearing the gold mouthpiece in 2011 when she filmed her music video for You Da One.

The singer may have found it rather difficult to eat her meal with the expensive piece of metal covering her teeth but thankfully she could have taken them out with ease.

Mouthy men: Rihanna's ex boyfriend Chris Brown and Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte have both worn grills this year

The golden smile wasn't the only thing on show by the Umbrella singer as she also whipped out her legs for the low key dinner date.

Rihanna looked stunning in tiny black shorts, a black and white top and peep-toe boots covered with a sheer fabric.

But her face summed up her feelings at the end of a day spent remembering those tragically lost on 9/11 in 2001.

Toned: The actress looked lovely in her simple palette of black and white as she entered the restaurant

Earlier in the day, she tweeted a pic of New York City with the caption, 'We’ll never forget this day! 9/11.'

She later posted another photo on her Twitter account that told a very touching story about a woman who ran into the firefighter who carried her from the World Trade Center that day.

Rihanna's mind was at least not on the latest controversy surrounding her relationship with Chris Brown.

Favourite: The singer is a huge fan of the Italian eatery

Her ex claimed his new neck tattoo is of a skull commemorating a Mexican holiday, after he was forced to come forward and deny the etching was in honour of his ex-girlfriend.

The 23-year-old singer put the ink on display during an event in Las Vegas earlier this month.

Comparisons were quickly drawn with the Russian Roulette singer, whom he brutally assaulted in 2009, after it echoed her face structure, arched eyebrows and plump lips after the attack.

Who's That Chick? Rihanna stuns fans as she debuts super-short cropped hairdo ahead of VMA performance

By Sarah Bull


She's tried blonde, black and red, and experimented with straight hair, curly bobs and sleek bangs.

But now Rihanna has decided to update her look once again, going for one of her most drastic changes yet with a super-short cropped hairdo.

The 24-year-old singer showcased her new style as she arrived at the Staples Center in Los Angeles ahead of the MTV Video Music Awards tonight (Thursday).


Who's that chick? Rihanna looked drastically different as she debuted her new super-short hairdo in Los Angeles today (Thursday)

Dressed down diva: Rihanna went for a casual look as she arrived for the VMA rehearsal, in a Céline T-shirt, jeans and trainers

The incredibly short look is a sharp contrast to the long wavy hair Rihanna has been sporting in recent weeks.

However, it's not the first time Rihanna has tried out a more androgynous look with her barnet, as she previously sported a crop for her role as Cora Raikes in blockbuster movie Battleship earlier this year.

She also had a shorter 'do back in 2009, but the style was longer on top giving it a more feminine feel. The new look is undoubtedly the shortest Rihanna has ever had her hair.

Surprisingly, Rihanna made no mention of her new look on her Twitter page, where she usually keeps fans regularly updated with any changes in her appearance.


Colour chameleon: Rihanna has tried out everything from blonde to bright red over the years

New day, new 'do: Rihanna works with celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen to constantly update her locks

Rihanna works with celebrity stylist Ursula Stephen to come up with inventive new ideas for her hair. And in a recent interview, Ursula explained how they go about coming up with a new concept.

She said: 'We are always changing it up, experimenting, and having fun with hair. That’s what I love to do!

'Her hairstyle typically changes depending on what’s on our agenda, what she’s wearing, or how she’s feeling.

'We take it day by day and event by event, and usually will both bring ideas to the table. It’s always a collaboration, which is such a great way to work.'

Screen star: Rihanna had short hair for her role in blockbuster movie Battleship, but it was just a wig

The new look comes ahead of Rihanna's highly-anticipated performance at tonight's VMA awards, where the singer will open the show with a rendition of new track Cockiness (Love It), alongside A$AP Rocky.

Other performances at the event will come from stars including Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz, Taylor Swift and Frank Ocean.

As she arrived for rehearsals, Rihanna looked excited about the upcoming event, and waved eagerly at her waiting fans.

The singer dressed down in a Céline T-shirt, jeans and a pair of colourful Cleveland Cavalier-edition Air Jordan #4's as she made her way into the venue.

However, Rihanna's fans are sure to be waiting with bated breath to see what outrageous costume the singer pulls out of the bag for her VMA performance.

As well as taking to the stage at the event, Rihanna is up for five awards including Video of The Year, Best Pop Video and Best Female Video.

'Cheryl is hot!' Rihanna gets X-rated in her admiration for Cole as she poses for a raunchy new photoshoot

By Andrea Magrath


Cheryl Cole has always been very vocal in her love of her 'girl crush' Rihanna.

And now the We Found Love singer has returned the compliment, telling Esquire magazine that she thinks the British darling is 'hot.'

In typically X-rated style, Rihanna muses: 'Ooh! Cheryl Cole is...hot. I would just like to watch her work. Preferably cleaning things on the floor. Picking up stuff on the floor. Bending over.'

'Cheryl Cole is hot!' Rihanna reveals her girl crush to the new issue of Esquire, adding that she would 'just like to watch her work. Picking up stuff on the floor. Bending over'

'She’s hot!' Rihanna concluded. 'I mean, literally...she’s so beautiful.'

The saucy singer gushed about Cheryl in an interview published in the latest issue of the men's magazine, which accompanies a very provocative photoshoot.

The 24-year-old poses in a crochet bra that barely conceals her modesty, and in a very cheeky swimsuit that reveals a whole lot of her posterior, with thigh-high stockings.

Cheeky: The 24-year-old poses provocatively for the magazine, and says she wants to have found a man in the next five years

Rihanna's comments about Cheryl come just days after she fuelled rumours that the former X Factor judge is being wooed by American Idol producers (despite Cheryl's denials).

'I can completely see why the producers at American Idol are trying to get Cheryl - she would be amazing,' she told the Daily Star. 'She was received so well on the US X Factor and most people couldn't really understand the decision to let her go.'

Girl crush: Both stars have spoken fondly of each other in the past, and have even hinted at working together

'Since [the X Factor] she has gone from strength to strength, and is fast becoming a movie star over here.'

Last year Cheryl gushed about Rihanna, saying that she desperately wanted to work with her.

‘I love [Rihanna] she said. 'I would love to do a performance with her and do a single with her. I would love to do a record with her. She feels the same. There could be wheels, there could be motions.’

'In my mind, it was just music': Rihanna says she was surprised to the backlash against her recording with violent ex-boyfriend Chris Brown

In the interview, Rihanna says that she has become accustomed to her antics making headlines. 'The attention is something I’ve learned to ignore,' she says.

'This is what I do. I live my life and they document it. A lot of things I don’t care for people to know, but it just is. That’s what it’s become.'

Some of that attention came with her incredibly controversial decision to record a song with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, following his felony assault charge against her.

'I thought people were gonna be surprised that we finally did a record together, but I didn’t see how people could think it was a bad thing, you know?' she says. 'In my mind, it was just music.'

Rihanna says she is determined to settle down in five years time. 'Hopefully I’ll have a man by then. I’ve gotta start there, right? But how far I go [with my career] is God’s plan.

'I’m just following through my destiny. I don’t think it ever ends. It just evolves.'

Rumours are circulating though that things may just b heating up again between Rihanna and ex-boyfriend Drake.

The pair, who had a brief fling in 2009, were reportedly seen getting 'hot and heavy' at a Miami nightclub.

Us Weekly claims that Rihanna and Drake were seen holding hands and dancing closely on the dance floor.Click here more detail

Inspiration for a new tattoo? Rihanna scrawls 'Thug Life' across her midriff in memory of late rap star Tupac

By Daily Mail Reporter


She was overawed when Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg were joined by a hologram of Tupac at the weekend.

And Rihanna paid her own, small tribute to the late rap star at Coachella when she had 'Thug Life' scribbled across her midriff.

The 25-year-old singer tweeted a pictured of herself, joined by Snoop and Warren G with the words written in marker pen on her stomach.

She also had a large roll up in her mouth, which was possibly an imitation joint.

Her outfit was comprised a Chanel jacket, a pair of denim shorts covered in studs, a cropped vest with 'Peace' emblazoned across the front and a pair of wayfarer shades.

The words on Rihanna's stomach were in honour of Tupac Shakur, who was 'resurrected' by way of an impressive hologram stunt at Coachella over the weekend.

Rihanna appeared to have the time of her life at Coachella, particularly Dre and Snoop's performance which enlisted the aid of hologram technology to include Tupac in the spectacle.

Cool or fool? Rihanna tweets picture of herself with new 'Thug Life' tattoo inspired by Tupac

She tweeted her excitement after the amazing show.

The pop superstar wrote: '#TupacBACK #unbelievable #IWASTHERE #STORY4myGrandKidz'
