If Bob shot the sheriff, then Redhead RiRi took the defendant, judge, jury and officer out with her pistol. What starts as a simple situation can eventually lead to an altercation and sticky situation. My personal favorite song from Rihanna's Loud , the one which finally reunited her with her island roots, is enhanced by a video that hones in on the touchy subject of rape. There will be those who try to connect some dots but the biggest one that's resonating with me is that Anthony Mandler finally got a [...]

Filmed in Jamaica and premiered yesterday on BET's 106 & Park, the new video for "Man Down" follows a simple altercation, turned into a real sticky situation. This means Rihanna's riding bikes and doing laundry, ... read more �

Talk about cowboy justice. In an unexpected twist Rihanna has decided to tackle the very delicate subject of rape in her new music video for the called “Man Down” which was written by Shontelle and was featured on her 2010 LOUD CD. The Anthony Mandler-directed video opens with an idyllic Jamaican scene. The Barbadian beauty [...] Rihanna Man Down Video is a post from: RnB Music Blog

Rihanna in "Man Down" One moment can change your entire life. Rihanna learns this in this hardest possible way in the gripping and gritty music video for "Man Down." The dark, emotional clip, shot in Jamaica and directed by Anthony Mandler , starts with Rihanna, with a look of fiery hatred on her face, shooting a man down in a crowded transit station. As the video continues, we're transported back a day earlier to see why RiRi turned into a murder. She's living her life as a carefree island [...]

Representing the Navy SEALs in a dark blue costume, fishnets, leather jacket and lots of big bling , Barbadian singer Rihanna took the stage on “Today” show’s 16th annual Toyota Concert Series that took place at the Rockefeller Plaza earlier today where she rocked the New York crowd. Fresh from her European LOUD tour, the [...] Rihanna On Today: “S&M” “What’s My Name” “Only Girl (In the World)” & “California King Bed” is a post from: RnB Music Blog

Perhaps fearing what would happen if she had to carry an entire performance, Britney Spears piggy backed on gigs by Nicki Minaj (above) and Rihanna (below) last night at the Billboard Music Awards. It worked, ... read more �

Rihanna shows off her sexy side with the recent premiere of her music video for the song “California King Bed”. The track is the sixth single to come off of her latest album “Loud”. I just have to say that the Barbadian R&B/pop singer’s beauty is mesmerizing. The video is all kinds of sexy, romantic and powerful – much like the song is. Kudos to Anthony Mandler, who directed this clip, because this is the first time in a long time that I’ve liked one of his videos. If you haven’t had enough of Rihanna with this video, watch out [...]

Let's start off with a truth bomb: there weren't any promos offhand that piqued my interest this week. Sure, GaGa threw another concussion grenade of tasteless derivation into her brainwashed crowd of "monsters", but frankly I can't stomach analyzing another overproduced and prosaically premised episode until I recover from the trauma of " Born This Way ". Similarly, a friend suggested I check out the newest audiovisual endeavor of some alt-rock band that's huge in South Africa . Once I realized the Afrikaans dressed like a cross between American Idiot -era Green Day and early Panic! At The [...]

Plot is thrown out of the window for special attention to detail in the video for Rihanna's "California King Bed." From the rose tint to the black and white, every single beauty shot of Rihanna in this video is magazine perfection. This latest video is like the "Only Girl (In the World)" video, her VOGUE pictorial and her Rolling Stone pictorial all wrapped into one. Who knows how this single will fair but maybe this video will help when the song is released to radio. Maybe "California King Bed" will be her next "Take a Bow."

Something something something Rihanna's new video. Half the time, my mind forgets that she has her own albums and does more than just pose for the 'razzi and periodically pop up to do choruses and ad-libs on rap songs. Personally, I'm just bidding my time until the next set of nudes leak. For now, I watch all of her delectableness on mute. Fifteen years from now, "California King Bed" will be licensed out to a mattress maker for use in a commercial, stripped down to just the chorus and melody. Mark my [...]

Rihanna and skin care giant Nivea have teamed for the singer's newest video for the song entitled "California King Bed" that was obviously filmed in a luxurious mansion located in the Hollywood hills. There is not much action in the clip, other than the wind blowing through white curtains or a fan moving Rihanna's red [...] Rihanna California King Bed Video is a post from: RnB Music Blog

In the new Rihanna video, Rihanna wishes she wasn't so distant with her California king in a California house made entirely of windows, falling red leaves, tall grass and billowy dreams. The song sounds like ... read more �

Rihanna in "California King Bed" Who knew Rihanna could be even more gorgeous than she usually is? Her video for "California King Bed" confirms that's actually possible. The pop star is nothing short of stunning in the Anthony Mandler -directed clip for her platinum-selling album Loud 's latest single. The video finds its strength in staying simple and letting Rihanna's beauty and the song shine. RiRi belts out the power ballad in a light-drenched room while dressed in sheer white lingerie and with her strapping male [...]

After wearing a revealing black/see through dress at the Met Ball in New York, Rihanna decided to tone it down drastically in a beautiful white dress at a private Nivea event in Milan, Italy last night. The Barbadian singer looked stunning in a Dolce & Gabbana dress, long red hair, colorful heels as she performed [...] Rihanna California King Bed - Milan Private Nivea Event is a post from: RnB Music Blog

I think he said it best.. "I got the pop songs, I got the urban records...so now, I gotta give y'all the strip club record."

RnB singer Rihanna teamed up with country star Jennifer Nettles at the 2011 Academy Of Country Music Awards held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada last night for a very memorable performance.

Rihanna turned 23 this past weekend, and it feels like the Grammy-winning pop star has grown up right before our eyes. From the fresh faced 17-year-old in "Pon De Replay" to the naughty minx in her "S&M" vid, RiRi's had quite the style metamorphosis. We're not sure what RiRi has had more of — number one hits, or unorthodox haircuts! Join us as we revisit the singer's music videos and track her dramatic style evolution as she's gone from Good Girl to "Only Girl" .
