Rihanna – "Baby Fenty #2" era

[Glove Slap]

Still bitter that she wasn't on Lean On. It was PERFECT for her.

This Is What You Came For is one of Rihanna's best collaborations. I've loved every collaboration between Calvin and Rihanna. Not to mention TIWYCF is one of the better pop songs from last year which was generally a lackluster year.

Yeah, because it totally wasn't a waste of star power and talent. They reduced Rihanna to a generic EDM vocalist, with an annoying chorus and unnecessary vocal effect on her voice. The "ooooooooooooohs" are completely annoying, the production is generic, and the drop is even worse, and predictable, and weak. This is the worst Rihanna/Calvin Harris collab, and just more proof that 2016 was a terrible year for music.

Rihanna Previews Upcoming Fenty Beauty Cosmetic Line: Report

Rihanna dropped a first look of her upcoming Fenty Beauty release on Friday (Sept. 1) and it is straight up fire. Falling perfectly in line with the bad gal's image and branding style, as the campaign features a diverse set of young women applying lip gloss with the city streets as a backdrop.

In new Instagram videos, models revealed color shade names like Trippin', Chili Mango, Chic Freak, Hustla Baby, Yacht Life, Fire Crystal, Confetti and Trophy Wife.

With the amazing success the Bajan singer has had with her Fenty Puma by Rihanna line, Rihanna socks by Stance and many other fragrance, jewelry, and fashion collabs, it seems like a sure thing she'll take her empire to new heights with Fenty Beauty. The full cosmetic collection drops Sept. 8 online and at Sephora and Harvey Nichols retail stores.

Yeah Rih, I love you, you're gorgeous and getting even richer with all these side-projects and deals but give us a single soon please. :'(

[Normi]

It will probably be surprise released on a Friday maybe with some hints given to us a couple of days earlier or rumors spreading around (like last time...)
I think mid-October seems realistic

Congrats!

Rihanna On Self-Love, Time-Travelling and Secret Beauty Weapons

Winter might be coming, but we've got some ridiculously good news to see you through the last dregs of summer: pop megastar Rihanna is ELLE's October cover star.

Well, she's not 'just' a pop megastar is she? In the ten years since her first single, 'Pon de Replay', dropped into the world, Robyn Rihanna Fenty has gone on to record eight bestselling albums, design clothes for Armani and River Island, made her big-screen debut in Battleship, was the first-ever black face of Dior and is the current creative director of Puma.

So, yeah, megastar doesn't even begin to cover it.

In celebration of Rihanna's sixth cover (and the global launch of Fenty Beauty by Rihanna), ELLE turned the tables and invited some of her famous friends and fans – Tyra Banks, Eminem, April Bloomfield, Zac Posen, Pharrell Williams and more – to share the questions they were dying to ask the global megastar:

Of course, she was her usual DGAF self.

David Copperfield, Magician: I'm not kidding, this is a real offer: I can make you disappear and reappear anywhere in the world. Where do you want to go, and why?

Rihanna: Ten minutes before I lost my virginity…and I'm holding you to that offer. LOL.

Laverne Cox, Actress: You've had so many iconic fashion moments and take so many risks. The iconic CFDA Awards Adam Selman dress in 2014—what gave you the courage to take that risk that was so perfect and elegant yet daring?

Rihanna: Dear Laverne, I took advantage of my titties before they go south. I saw my window, and I took it.

Plus, she offers her insight on beauty as the brain behind her new makeup line:

ELLE: When did you first wear lipstick?

Rihanna: Lipstick always got me in trouble.Whether it was at home as a kid, or my early teenage years in my career, I always had the urge to wear it. So I broke all those rules. Now lipstick is like my lil secret weapon!

ELLE:What is the craziest thing you've ever done/tried for beauty? Would you do it again?

Rihanna: A corset! I'd do it again, though. I'd wear it every day if I could make it out alive!

For more of Rihanna's answers to questions from Pharrell, Charli XCX, Eminem, among others – pick up ELLE's October issue, on newsstands September 19.

Marilyn Manson briefly spoke to Consequence of Sound about how "Love on the Brain" indirectly inspired his new music:

“Strangely enough, one of the records that influenced this album strongly, and it can’t be taken literally, is Rihanna, her last record. That one song, ‘Love On The Brain’, it really hit me because I saw her perform it and she just… meant it.

[schnetzka]

As much as I like all these photos, I need some news about new music. I don't want to wait over three years like last time.

[wavey.]

Wow, I just imagined Rihanna doing SZA's "Love Galore". She actually sounds like Rih in the 1st verse.

[Live Your Life]

[Normi]

What a queen.
But I seriously need new music news

Really? Could you tell them apart on Consideration? I didn't know who Sza was then and I kept asking "Bish where?!" Even now that I know and love Sza, I STILL have a hard time telling them apart and when I saw Sza live, she did Consideration all by herself LOL.

[Caviar]

I had no clue SZA had vocals on Considerstion until months after ANTI came out. Lol

Haha, yes, Rih's accent is the standout on both verses, but, towards the end of the chorus, I assume it's both of them 😂😂
