Rihanna is now in Australia getting ready for her Australian Tour kick off in Brisbane tomorrow. She will be joined by “Fly Like a G6″ electro hop quartet Far East Movement! The Asian American group is going to perform before Rihanna’s act at all of her shows in Oz. They might be newcomers but their first single was already #1 on Billboard and the most recent song with One Republic’s Ryan Tedder got also to the Top 10. Their new album “Free wired” is definitely a must have!

Scottish DJ Calvin Harris will be another performer appearing before Rihanna’s act! Sounds like it’s going to be a great party! Who’s going?!

As usual, RihannaDaily will be trying to make a coverage from the show. If you wish to help us and become our Aussie correspondent please contact us via e-mail or Twitter!

Rihanna’s record sales in the UK has passed to 10 million mark, her record label has announced. The singer has reached the milestone six years after the release of her debut album, ‘Music Of The Sun’ in 2005.

Rihanna is the only female artist to have a number one hit single in five consecutive years in the UK, and also secured the longest running number one of the last decade with 2007’s ‘Umbrella’, which retained the top spot for ten consecutive weeks.

Her most recent album ‘Loud’ has already prodcued two number one singles and sold over a million copies in the UK, becoming her fastest-selling album.

Mercury Music Group UK President Jason ILey said: “It was clear to me from the first time that I met Rihanna that she had the potential to be one of the most successful artists in the world. “It has been a privilege to work with her these past six years. I believe that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg, and I’m looking forward to seeing her achieve even greater success in the coming months and years.”

Thnx to Meg for the tip

Usher wants to do a duet with Rihanna. The ‘OMG’ singer said he has been close to the ‘Only Girl (In The World)’ hitmaker for some time and would love for them to make a track together.

He told UK TV’s ‘Loose Women’ program:

‘Of course I’d do a track with her – hold on! We’ve been friends and our teams work together and we’ve talked about working together in the past, but it could potentially happen. ‘I would love to work with her – I think she’s an incredible artist.’

Rihanna has caused a stir with her sexy video for single ‘S&M’, and her raunchy performances at the BRIT awards and at last weekend’s NBA All-Star game in Los Angeles. The singer wore a crystal-covered basque, fringed hotpants and fishnet stockings to perform a medley of her hits, reportedly shocking some of the crowd (like usual).

Usher has defended her, saying: ‘Artistic direction is just that, you know, and obviously subjective. Everyone has their opinion and it’s a family show. I think she is a responsible young lady and maybe the song represented the attitude of, you know, think about it like this – how long have guys been grabbing their crotches?’ That told them!

Yeah man!

Pumped after her halftime performance at the NBA All-Star game Saturday, Rihanna talked exclusively with “Extra’s” Adrianna Costa about her upcoming concert tour, crushing on Gwyneth Paltrow — and the controversy surrounding her racy “S&M” music video.

On her “Loud” tour, Rihanna gushed, “Cee Lo is coming on the road with me which is really, really exciting. Having him on tour with me will be amazing. It’s gonna be even bigger than my last tour, which I didn’t think it could get any better. I told Cee Lo he has to bring the Muppets and Gwyneth Paltrow.” Rihanna added, “I love her. She’s got the baddest shoe game in the business!” The singer also commented on her “S&M” video, which has been banned in 11 countries for its sexual content. “I think the ban worked out,” laughed RiRi. “I don’t think people would’ve been that curious if there wasn’t some controversy involved or connected to it. ‘S&M’ is my favorite video that I’ve ever, ever, ever done. I can’t wait to keep making more incredible videos and beatin’ them out every time. ‘S&M is gonna be a hard one to beat.’”

(“The cupcakes Rihanna got at her party”)

PEOPLE.com: Rihanna celebrated her 23rd birthday Sunday night by rocking out with some of music’s biggest names – but also found time for some quiet celebrating with old friends.

The pop star rushed to her party at a private home in Beverly Hills after performing at the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. When she arrived, a party guest tells PEOPLE that she was treated to a taste of home – in the form of Sprinkles red velvet cupcakes with the Barbados flag imprinted on them.

She grabbed a full-sized confection, announcing, “I’m so hungry,” the source says.

Before all her guests arrived, Rihanna managed to sneak away to party with her best girlfriends in a secluded room in the Beverly Hills house. When she later joined the main party, she sported a tight-fitting pink dress with some purple fringe around the skirt.

There, she greeted her high-wattage friends warmly. “She [gave] Ryan Phillippe and Zac Efron huge hugs,” the source says, adding that the two actors hung out together and chatted throughout the night.

Also on hand: Cee Lo Green and his crew, who were spotted noshing on some of Oxtail and plantains, as well as Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z, who were “laughing and having a blast posing for photos in corner of the party,” the source says. Blige also “squealed with excitement” when she caught sight of Diddy, and they shared a long hug.

Later, Snoop Dog and Warren G rolled in at 1 a.m. and proceeded to dance and sing along to some old-school hip-hop songs while guests cheered them on.

Joel Madden and Christina Milian were also celebrating with the birthday gal, and both them indulged in vanilla and red velvet cupcakes, respectively.
