Check out this behind the scene footage of Rihanna as she takes New York City by storm during the release week of LOUD!

Thanks, Tangie!

After shooting more scenes for the Battleship movie in Louisiana, RiRi was spotted arriving at LaGuardia Aiport yesterday (November 25).

Via NeonLimelight: The chemistry between pop princess Rihanna and rap prince Drake in their new video What’s My Name is undeniable. The real life failed couple obviously put any hard feelings aside to produce the video that sees the pair getting lovey dovey and super close. In a new interview that aired on BET’s 106 & Park today (November 16), Rihanna explains what it was like getting cozy with Drizzy for the vid.

“At first it was like a little weird,” the singer said. While trying to explain that the weirdness came out of the fact that the two friends had to get so close, RiRi was shot down with a funny look from show host Rocsi, prompting Ri to responds with a hilarious “No she didn’t!”

“No, it was fun. We really had a good time,” Rihanna finally continued. “We just had a glass of wine and the nerves were calm and we were good.”

Via MTV: Performing live for MTV’s “The Seven” on Monday evening (November 15), Rihanna hit the stage with sleek red hair, a funky printed jacket, light-yellow hot pants and a black T-shirt for a funked-up version of her album’s second single, “What’s My Name?”.

During soundcheck, excited fans had already started chanting the singer’s name, and Rihanna, in a fur parka, sang part of the duet for the enormous crowd, along with a few other songs. Although “What’s My Name?” is brand-new, during the show, Rihanna sounded like she’d been singing it for years. After dancing around onstage, Rih proclaimed:

“Thank you, New York! It’s amazing! It’s a lot of people,” she said. “I’m really excited. I’m looking forward to sharing it with the world. I want everybody to get Loud tomorrow.” As for the new LP’s lighter tone, Rihanna explained: “I’m forever changing, growing, so it’ll never be the same thing. This album for me was really my way of expressing myself to the fans in an unapologetic way.” She also talked to “The Seven” hosts about working with Drake on the album: “[It was] really good,” she said of her pal. “We know each other. We’re good friends. It’s easy for us to work together.” The video for “What’s My Name?” was just released and Rihanna said she wouldn’t pass up the chance to shoot one for her Nicki Minaj collabo, “Raining Men.”: “We’re trying to figure out the singles now, so who knows?” she said.
