If you’ve been working on your abs (not me) all winter then you’re probably ready to show them off come spring and summer. A ton of designers incorporated midriff-baring looks in their SS12 collections and celebs like Jessica Szhor, Rihanna and Alexa Chung are all fans of the crop top-skirt combo. Will you be stepping out with your midsection on display?
Sporting a new blonde do and an Armani Prive dress, Rihanna covers the latest issue of British Vogue. What do you think of the cover? Meh kinda?

Did her hairstylist think this was a good idea?
Yeah, not sure if this is total bullsh*t or not but according to the Daily Mail, Rihanna pays her hairstylist over $20,000 every single week to be on call.
So that means the hairstylist must drop everything she’s doing to go dye Rihanna’s hair some cray cray color and totally talk about Rude Boys and All of the Lights all day.
Ursula Stephen, the hairstylist who makes $6,000 a day just to kick it with Rihanna in case she doesn’t like her hair anymore has changed RiRi’s hair color 13 times since last November.
Pretend phone convo @ 3 in the morning:
Rihanna: Hay, Ursula! Come cut my hair like now, I think a bowl shape in red would look dope. Oh na na.
Ursuala: (In her head: Damn this bitch is f*cking crazy but hey, I’m bout to get PAID) Oh for sure, that sh*t would look hot!
Um, yeah, so what’s the best beauty school I can enroll in?

“In the beginning of my career, it was really strict for me. I couldn’t wear pink or red lipstick; it was just bizarre. We had a young fan base, and they were trying to keep me fresh. But I just really wanted to be myself. I wanted to be sassy, the attitude, all these things that I am.”

Here’s the highly-anticipated cover and spread featuring Rihanna for American Vogue. The singer poses for Anne Leibovitz in duds by Lanvin, Hervé Léger and Donna Karan. Rihanna was banned from her Vogue cover in 2009 when naughty, nude pictures of the singer surfaced. Now that the ban was lifted, what are your thought on the feature?

What now bitches?
Back in 2009 Rihanna was supposed to recieve her very first Vogue cover but unfortunately, those naked pictures were leaked and Anna Wintour decided it wouldn’t be a good idea for the singer to be a covergirl just yet.
Well, the ban has been lifted because an excited Rihanna took to Twitter to say:
@rihanna: Just wrapped my first American Vogue cover shoot with Annie Leibovitz…Rah!
Exciting! She’s rumored to be on the April or May cover.
From wearing that pink and blue Viktor & Rolf dress to that D&G polka dot jumpsuit, RIHANNA always sports fun high-end outfits directly off the runway that would look ridiculous on anyone else but amazing on her. She’s proven to be quite the chameleon this year from her bad girl looks after releasing Rated R to her floral, girly, softer side when she released her latest album, Loud.
RIHANNA was back home in Barbados and was spotted dining with Sir Philip Green, the owner of Topshop during the Holidays. Of course, as a result of their dining sesh, everyone is assuming she might be doing business with the retailers.
Now that Kate is gone maybe RiRi will be stepping in? Tons of people want to dress like her so why not?
We’ll just have to wait and see.
Earlier we featured Rihanna’s flowery cover for January’s Interview Magazine. Yup, the same one in which Kanye West interviews her and confuses the eff out of RiRi.
Here are some stunning photos from her spread also shot by Mikael Jansson featuring the singer decked in some Louis Vuitton, Chanel and more.
It’s apparent that Rihanna is très obsessed with all things floral, so much so she even smothers herself in them on the cover of the latest Interview Magazine shot by Mikael Jansson. She also gets interviewed by none other than Kanye West whose questions reportedly left RiRi very confused.
Ready for it? Are you sure? Here are some hilarious highlights provided by ohthescandal.com:
Kanye: “So what inspired you to have that pink tank on your last tour? That was amazing, when you were sitting on top of the army tank.”
Rihanna: “I love to combine femininity with a kind of extreme masculine egde, and I felt like the tank is just not a typical thing that you think of when you think of a girl — or in any kind of relation to a girl. Then we made it hot pink. We just added that touch.”
Kanye: “I mean, people really need to see a photograph — the entire tank was pink. That was a great piece of commercial pop art. Was the idea of that to kind of portray an American Dream — like the fantasy of a this hot black girl sitting on a top of a pink tank?”
Rihanna: “I never actually thought of it like that.”
Kanye: “How does it feel to know that you could have any man in the world. Or woman. How does it feel to know that you can turn straight women gay?
Rihanna: “Is that a real question?”Kanye: “Yeah.”
Rihanna: “Well…Thank you. I don’t know how to feel about that. I guess that’s flattering.”
LMAO.
