We all know how much Rihanna’s UK Navy goes hard for her. However, four of them decided to take over New York last week! Four fans who are always seen outside Rihanna’s hotel everytime she’s in London flew to the U.S. and here’s Patsy‘s story:

It all started in September 2012, after the May 4th Brooklyn DWT tickets were released. Myself (Patsy), Lauren, Jen and Janessa were all welping about how much we would would love to fly out to New York to see the show as it was the final date of the North American leg of the tour. As you can imagine the tickets for that show sold out within no time. But to our luck Rihanna announced a second date at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn on May 5th just a few days later after the high demand for tickets to the first original show. We all agreed to have a ‘YOLO moment’ in which we bought tickets to the show in Brooklyn without having any flights, accommodation or anything else booked, we just knew we had 8 months of hard work, and saving up to do to pay off this trip and make it happen! By January we managed to book our hotel and flights, all set to take off from London Heathrow May 3rd and return back home May 9th.

Rihanna looked gorgeous while leaving her New York City hotel with her best friend tonight (May 14). She was on her way to the Irving Plaza to watch Juicy J and Asap Ferg performing.

When it comes to summer style there is one girl who immediately springs to mind. Queen of beach chic, and documented crop top fan, Rihanna, seriously knows what she’s doing when it comes to dressing for the sunshine – well she did grow up in Barbados, after all.

Luckily for her legions of fans, her summer collection for River Island is set to drop in stores and online on 25th May, so you too can get some of the RiRi summer style action. And in even more great news, River Island have given Grazia a first look at both the collection and campaign shots which you can see here.

Nominees for the 2013 BET Awards were just announced and Rihanna is up in three categories:

• Best Female R&B/Pop Artist
• Video of the Year – Diamonds
• Coca-Cola Viewers Choice Award – Diamonds

Rihanna has already collected three BET trophies – Viewer’s Choice Award for “Live Your Life” with T.I. (2009), “Hard” (2010) and for Best Female R&B Artist in 2011!

The BET Awards airs live from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on June 30, 8 p.m. Eastern.

RiRi was seen arriving at her hotel in New York City last night (May 13) with a short cropped blonde hairstyle. However, she told a fan on Instagram that it is not her new look and she used it only for a photo shoot only.

Rihanna’s career started 8 years ago and just a year later, in May 2006, “SOS” became her first song to peak at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Watch a video above where fans from all over the world decided to congratulate her. We love it!

Congratulations, RiRi!

Rihanna has unveiled a preview of her second collection for River Island, which is due to arrive in stores on May 25. Join the singer on a model fitting, as she explains what inspired her latest spring/summer 2013 high street line in a new behind-the-scenes film.

“I just wanted stuff that I wanted to wear because at the end of the day that’s what got me into designing – seeing things on the rack that were great, but that could have been a little more me,” said Rihanna. “Maybe they could have been a little longer or shorter, or have a little more sex appeal or a little less. I wanted to make clothes for fat days; stuff that I want to wear. I was being selfish. Hopefully, my friends and people who shop at River Island will have the same taste.”

Watch the star and her co-designer Adam Selman as they peruse the rails, holding up jumpsuits covered in floral and tie-dye prints, simple dresses in black and pink, an oversized military-style khaki jacket, a high-waisted skater skirt and slinky crop top.

“I made a piece for everybody in my crew, we all have different body types and different tastes – some are braver than others,” she said. “I think like that because that’s how women in the world are. We’re all different, we like different things, we have different occasions and different moods.”

RiRi and her friends had a little birthday party at their New York City hotel last night (May 12). They were all celebrating Leandra‘s, one of Rihanna’s best friends, bday. Take a look at a few photos after the jump.

Rihanna has also been working on a new ad campaign for Rihanna For River Island.

Happy bday, Leandra!
