RiRi was looking fabulous in Sydney earlier today (April 11th). She was on her way to a restaurant to celebrate her best friend’s birthday. We’re loving the look!

Rihanna has used her Instagram account (@badgalriri) to show Rihanna Navy the single cover for “Where Have You Been”, the 4th single from her latest album, “Talk That Talk”.

“‘Where Have You Been’ is the single that is going to start kicking in,” Rihanna told Capital FM. “We just shot the video with Dave Mars a couple of weeks ago. We wanted to use a lot of natural habitat. You know, we built a stage but everything went back to either a little bit of tribal or different cultures, and all mixed in to nature somehow, and it was fun. [There is] some dancing. We had to dance because that song is just dance central. You can’t stop moving when you hear it.’”

The track has already been added to the United States’ biggest radio stations: Z100 and KIIS FM. Make sure to start RIHquesting it!

When Fox FM’s Matt & Jo caught up with Rihanna in Sydney, not only did she get personal with Matt, she told them what it was like the first time she met Beyoncé and Jay Z’s little one, Blue Ivy.

“I went to visit her once and honestly, it’s very surreal. It’s almost like you don’t want to touch her. I held her and I just felt like “Oh my God, she’s gonna break”, she’s so tiny and cute and precious.”

She also discussed why she is so honest in interviews.

“I guess I just don’t like living my life making up stories and having to remember them all.”

In an interview with this month’s UK Company magazine, Rihanna talked about her “Battleship” co-stars, working out and tattoos:

On Liam Neeson: “I fell in love with him when I watched Taken and I was so star-struck, I couldn’t even look at him on set. I just had to shut down completely. Then he asked me for a picture with him to send to his son and I was like, ‘Send me this picture, I want it too!”

On Alexander Skarsgard: “Oh my god, he’s so hot! I mean, I went from gawking at him for hours every time I watched True Blood DVDs back-to-back on tour, then BOOM! He’s on set. I told myself, just breathe, act cool. Basically, I was acting on set and off set!”

On her personal trainer: “It was not fun and was actually very scary! I know he’s a good person inside, but he had to break me out of everything I was used to. He made sure I was humble, and that I didn’t think about ‘Rihanna the superstar’. He made me do push-ups, made me cry and he made me ANGRY! Honestly, I don’t diet or work out. I’m eating horribly and, I hate to say this, but it has to be my metabolism. When I was on tour I started gaining a lot of weight – it was crazy. I wasn’t sleeping, I was bloated and taking medication to look after my voice.”

On her tattoos: “I have an addictive personality and I LOVE tattoos. When I was 16 I was curious about them and started hanging out in tattoo shops in downtown New York, watching people get tattooed and pierced. I finally grew the balls to get one when I was 17 then started getting more. I still want another now!”

The May issue of Company magazine goes on sale on Friday, April 13. Unfortunately, Rihanna is not the cover girl.
