  • It has only been announced that Rihanna will perform “Princess Of China” with Coldplay at the Grammys this weekend. However, Rihanna’s dancers are rehearsing as well. Maybe we should expect a few surprises… The 54th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 12, 2012, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles being broadcast on CBS 8:00 p.m. ET.
  • Would you like “Birthday Cake” to be a single? That’s what Rihanna asked her 13 million Twitter followers yesterday. She also tweeted: “Now here’s the trick question! #IF I put collaborator on it, who would u wanna see lick the icing off????? #CAKE I need somebody #DIRRRTY on my Birthday #CAKE ;) lol And please!!!! No girls allowed on #CAKE” Thoughts??
  • Rihanna is this year’s 9th most desirable woman according to AskMen.com. “In her memoir Bossypants, Tina Fey cheered Beyonce for “bringing back the leg meat.” Well, Rihanna has taken that “leg meat” torch and run with it. Watching her dance makes us forget that we ever desired supermodels with sticks for legs. Even the snooty Brits can’t get enough of her. When Coldplay’s Chris Martin needed a female vocalist for his recent “Princess of China,” he got Rihanna — even though his wife Gwyneth Paltrow is trying to jumpstart her singing career. Sorry, Gwyneth, you’ve got no “leg meat.”"

  • “We Found Love” extends its reign as Rihanna’s longest-leading Billboard Pop Songs No. 1, as the song, featuring Calvin Harris, rules for a sixth frame. That’s twice the total of her three previous longest commands: “Take a Bow” and “Disturbia,” which led for three weeks apiece in 2008, and “Only Girl (In the World)” (three, 2010). Rihanna concurrently debuts on Pop Songs at No. 39 as a guest on Coldplay’s “Princess of China.” The entrance of “Princess Of China” queens Rihanna as the sole artist with the most Pop Songs entries since the Nielsen BDS-based list launched the week of Oct. 3, 1992. Now with 30 visits, she passes Island Def Jam labelmate Mariah Carey (29) for first place.  
  • Rihanna was one of the first celebrities to congratulate Beyoncé and Jay-Z on their first child, a girl named Blue Ivy Carter. She tweeted: “Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih”
  • RiRi got  a new Jeep from Roc Nation, click here to see a picture. Hopefully she will have her U.S. driver licence soon.

TIME Magazine reviews Rihanna’s Grammy performances
Posted by on 3:46am in - Add Your Comment

TIME Magazine posted a list of “best and worst of the 2011 Grammy Awards”. Rihanna’s performances got the highest mark “A” naming one of the best performances of the night. Here’s what they said:

“Love The Way You Lie (Part II)”

Rihanna rarely sings alone. She’s almost always accompanied by another singer, drowned out by synthesizers or Auto-Tuned by an overzealous producer. But tonight, at least briefly, it’s just Rihanna and the microphone. Then Eminem appears and does the unthinkable: he makes the performance even better. When the duo performed “Love the Way You Lie” at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year, they seemed disjointed and unrehearsed. Here, they’ve have found their element. And Dr. Dre, whose cameo could have been an unnecessary addition, only added to the fire.
Grade: A

“What’s My Name” feat. Drake

It’s official: the 2011 Grammys should just be renamed The Rihanna Show. For her second appearance onstage tonight, the pop star ditched the ball gown, shortened her skirt and nailed this duet with Drake. I’m not even sure why Drake was there. Apparently he wan’t either; he wandered off halfway through the song.
