Gossip Teen

Hip hop diva extraordinaire Rihanna was rushed to an NYC hospital after a hard night of partying at the Met Ball Monday night.

After being admitted, the 24-year-old singer Tweeted the above picture of herself, but offered no explanation as to why she was down for the count, although a source tells Entertainment Tonight that the oft-controversial star,

…had a fever and flu since last week and needed an IV but is fine now.

Apparently, RiRi’s been battling a bug for some time now and even had to skip out on last Friday’s dress rehearsal for her Saturday Night Live appearance.

Wait, is a “bug” the same thing as partying way too hard for your own good?  We’re confused….

Hopefully, this trip to the ER will get the “You Da One” singer back on the straight and narrow.

We know she’s a style chameleon, but Rihanna’s latest transformation even threw us for a loop!

The hip-hop diva took to her Twitter (via Instagram, obvi) to showcase her new, darker and sort-of-chopped-off locks.  And what we mean by that is that the 24-year-od totally dyed her hair black and then shaved one side of her head.

Yeah, you read that right.

According to the “We Found Love” singer, she opted for the half-shaved looked because she “was missin” her short hair, but “ain’t ready to chop.”

Right, because cutting your hair short is a much bigger commitment than SHAVING YOUR HEAD!?

What do you think of RiRi’s new look?  Sound off below!

Hip hop superstar Rihanna went under the needle again this week, this time to get a tiny cross tattooed on her collarbone.  This ink marks the sixteenth tat for the 24-year-old artist.

Yes, that’s right – this is her sixteenth tattoo.  That’s waaaay too much time around sharp objects for our taste!

According favorite her tattoo artist, BangBang, the “Talk that Talk” songstress went in for the ink on Thursday night and was extremely pleased with the results.

She said her cross meant a lot to her and she totally loved it…

We aren’t surprised.  Rihanna could get a picture of a Tasmanian Devil tattooed on her forehead and still look fierce, so of course it rocked.

Although Grammy-nominated singer Rihanna has been linked to ex-boyfriend (and confirmed King-of-Douchery) Chris Brown of late, the  24-year-old swears she’s still as single as they come – and is hating every minute of it.

Single life is so overrated… It sucks. I have such incredible experiences in my life. You don’t want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone. That’s what I’m missing right now.

Now, we don’t want to come off sounding like a bunch of old fogies here, but maybe, just maybe, those spiked denim shorts of yours aren’t quite sending that “come hither” message you’re looking for.

At any rate, no matter how much you may hate flying solo – anything’s better than spending the rest of your life with a guy who treats you like garbage.

Can I get an “Amen”!?

Rihanna stepped out at an exclusive Stella McCartney’s Evening Wear Presentation during London Fashion Week yesterday, dripping in glamour and wearing a floor-length, emerald green dress with a super high slit and plunging neckline.

The dress was daring to say the least, but can we really expect anything less from the “We Found Love” songstress?

According to sources, the 23-year-old chatted the night away with pals Kate Moss and the lady of the hour herself, Stella McCartney.

Ummmmm okay.  I guess this is cool?  No no, I’m sorry.   I just cannot get down with knuckle tattoos – I don’t care who you are.

Hip hop diva Rihanna flashed her latest ink via Twitter earlier today, tweeting,

All these b*tches screaming that 2pac back #THUGLIFE

Yeah, I have absolutely no idea what that means.  I guess it’s somehow a reference to the fact that she now has the same tattoo on her hands, that Tupac had on his stomach?  Why she chose to use that collection of words to express that message – I’m not sure…

The 23-year-old singer, who’s recently been rumored to be sneaking around with ex-BF (and notorious scumbag) Chris Brown, is no stranger to the needle – the knuckle tats bring Riahnna’s tattoo tally to a whopping 15!

Do you like Rihanna’s new ink?  Let us know below!

If this is true – I quit life.

Sources have revealed that former hiphop lovebirds Rihanna and Chris Brown have rekindled their romance and have been sneaking around together for the last year.

Rihanna loves to live dangerously… [H]ooking up with Chris is all part of that.

Living dangerously – you have to be alive to live dangerously girl.  Do you not remember what that boy did to your face three years ago???

Apparently, these two have been meeting up casually and taking time out to see each other whenever they are both in L.A.  According to another insider,

They can’t get enough of each other. I don’t see it ending well.

Not to be crass, but – DUH!  Someone needs to talk some sense into this chick and quick!

Pop star Rihanna debuted her latest look during Saturday night’s Jingle Bell Ball Concert in jolly old London, England.  The sultry songstress looked chic in her new cropped blonde locks and blunt bangs as she rang in the holiday season, rocking out in front of a sell-out crowd at the 02 Arena.

The 23-year-old ‘Make it Rain’ singer, closed out the show with a slammin’ performance (per usual) and eye-popping, ultra-modern fashion that featured fishnet stockings, a crop-top and a houndstooth sweater tied around her weight.  Not a combo you see everyday…or ever.

Rihanna and her flaming red hair take the September issue of Glamour and turn up the volume on the color. Her bright crimson hair contrasting with the bold fuchsia pink typeface make for an unusual attention grabbing cover.

The singer gives the mag her take on style, perfection and drama and how her friendship with Katy Perry:

On style: “Getting dressed, I want to pick the most bizarre pair of shorts so I can figure out how to make it look right, or work an outfit that will make people go, “What the hell is she wearing?”

On hating drama . . . and perfection: “I hate drama. But at the same time, nothing bothers me more than when life’s perfect. And that’s the sick part. I just love a challenge, whether it’s a relationship, my career, clothing . . . ”

On her friendship with Katy Perry: “All my friends are guys, to be completely honest. But when I met her, it was such a breath of fresh air. I just couldn’t believe this chick had no edit button. . . . Katy and Lady Gaga came out of the gate exactly the way they think, the way they wanna dress, the way they wanna speak.”

Rihanna’s issue is on sale August 9th. More photos, including the cover, are below.  Read more »
