Rihanna reminds me of a combo of Mr. T. and Prince. This look does one thing for sure… takes the focus off her hairstyle. Like seriously… who is this girl’s stylist? Here she is covered in necklaces adorned with silver crucifixes, keys, horseshoes and what looks like hands? while having a bite to eat at the Cafe Med at Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood.

She’s been in rehearsals getting ready for her performace at Sunday’s American Music Awards airing @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

Kanye West had this to say about her:

“Rihanna had a really breakout year and became the biggest artist. Like, Rihanna sells more records than me all together if you include her in national sales and she is arguably the biggest artist in the world right now.”

Rihanna has had a busy calendar this month showing up here there and everywhere. She was at two functions yesterday for the launch of the Tattoo Heart Collection at the Plaza Hotel, and also at the UNICEF Snowflake Lighting Ceremony in NYC.

She told People about the meaning of the new tattoo on her hand saying:

“It’s tribal. It represents strength and love. It hurt like hell!”

Tribal tats do as much for me as a mullet hairstyle… not my thang, although I’m loving her outfit.

Rihanna looks lovely as she poses for photographers at the 2008 UNICEF Snowflake Lighting at Grand Army Plaza in New York City today.

Rihanna has partnered with UNICEF’s fight to save children worldwide and reduce the number of children dying from preventable causes from 25,000 to zero. It’s an organization that has saved more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization.

Says Caryl Stern, President and Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF:

“We are thrilled to have Rihanna take part in the lighting ceremony in New York City. She has tremendous enthusiasm for helping those in need and is the ideal person for spreading the UNICEF Snowflake’s message of hope, peace, and compassion for children around the world.”

Rihanna flipped the switch to illuminate the magnificent UNICEF Snowflake, which acknowledges the beginning of the gift-giving season across the world. The celebration included treating the crowd to a live performance by Ne-Yo!

Rihanna took to the stage at the “Justin Timberlake And Friends Concert” at Planet Hollywood on Friday in Las Vegas. She sang Umbrella and Disturbia at the charity show. Some of the other celebrities who lent their time and talent were: The Jonas Brothers, Will.i.am, Adam Levine (of Maroon 5), 50 Cent, Boyz II Men, Esmee Denters (from J.T.’s label), and Leona Lewis.

She is wearing a gold-plated Alanna Bess cuff with black triangle details. I think she looks like a bumble bee, but then her sense of style and fashion is all her own.

Rihanna waves to photographers as she heads out shopping in West Hollywood. Her bf Chris Brown is no where in site. Not sure if she had to give her stylist the day off in an effort to cut down on her spending since it’s rumoured that her label stole her blind. Either that or the girl has lost her mind because that outfit is ridiculous.

She’s on her second week atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with her hit song “Disturbia”. David Archuleta’s “Crush” has turned out to be the the best chart debut in over 18 months. Archuleta opened at No. 2 and sold 166,000 downloads in the U.S.

Well, Rihanna was all perky in New York City today. I guess she was feeling a bit sexy as she stepped out onto the street without a bra. Not sure why she would dare, but I guess she wants some attention. Sometimes every girl needs some (not that Rihanna doesn’t get enough). I can’t help but think that Riri has some issues, she is trying to ‘grow’ as an artist but she seems to be going down this weird dominatrix/skanky path.

I want the old Riri back.

Looks like Rihanna has gone to the birds for her new video Disturbia. Here is a sneak peak at Riri in costume. This picture actually intrigues me slightly. I am looking forward to this video… although I really wish she would have released Breakin’ Dishes as her next single.

Rihanna is one hot chick, but she clearly forgot to look in the mirror before she headed out to the InStyle Magazine party last night.

This outfit really makes her thighs look huge, and usually I love Rihanna’s sexy legs. I am not sure how her stylist let her get away with such an awful outfit.

Anyway feast your eyes on Rihanna!

There are rumors swirling around that Josh Hartnett and Rihanna were caught making out at NYC’s Pink Elephant club. I guess Rihanna is getting a bit lonely lately and is looking for some loving.

I wonder if they will make a good couple, because Rihanna seems a bit too young for him. I do have to say that he is super sexy, but more in rugged way. They were seen together awhile back having lunch. So maybe this has blossomed into something more.

Here is Rihanna and Ne-Yo’s hot new video for their smash hit Hate That I Love You. Rihanna looks super sexy as usual, I prefer how she has done her hair. Ne-Yo’s hat is not my style though.
