The official music video for Rihanna's "We Found Love"
"We Found Love" is a song by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, from her sixth studio album Talk That Talk (2011). The song features Scottish singer-songwriter Calvin Harris. The music video for "We Found Love" was shot on September 26, 27 and 28, 2011, in Bangor, Northern Ireland.

Rihanna on WhoSay

Rihanna Named Sexiest Woman Alive

Rihanna’s sex appeal is undeniable, but now the editors of Esquire magazine have declared the Barbados beauty as 2011’s “Sexiest Woman Alive.” She takes the honors from actress Minka Kelly, who graced last year’s cover.

Rihanna kicked off property for filming music video half-naked

Rihanna's position as one of the world's top pin ups had little effect on one man, a farmer who ordered her off his land after discovering her topless during a video shoot.
In fact, Alan Graham, 61, was so impervious to her sensual allure that he not only sent the superstar singer packing but he also warned that she should 'find a greater God'.
The 23-year-old singer was forced to beat a hasty retreat from Mr Graham’s muddy field in Northern Ireland after he interrupted the filming and told her to cover up. The devout Christian farmer said: 'If someone wants to borrow my field and things become inappropriate, then I say, "Enough is enough"'. 'I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends. Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God.' 

Rihanna had been filming the video for her latest single, We Found Love, with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris – which at one point saw the singer go topless – when Mr Graham spotted her stripping down to a bikini made up of red handkerchiefs. The furious farmer, who asked for filming to be halted, defended his actions yesterday, saying Rihanna’s behaviour was ‘inappropriate’.

Mr Graham, who owns 60 acres at Clandeboye outside Bangor, said: ‘There was no firm arrangement about borrowing the field.
‘Everything that was going to take place was not made clear to me.
‘To be fair to the people involved in asking for the field, I don’t think they were aware either of what would take place.
‘I have not received any payment at this moment in time and I don’t know if I will be paid.’

Here are some scenes from the second day of filming

Rihanna, who added a pair of raunchy hold-ups to her dungarees ensemble, didn't appear too bothered by the crowd while she was filming the video for her new single We Found Love in the New Lodge area of North Belfast.

Rihanna stars in her first movie (trailer included)

Rihanna doesn't wield heavy artillery in her everyday dealings but in the trailer for the action flick 'Battleship,' she's armed and ready to take on anyone in her way.

The movie is important for so many reasons, most notably, it'll mark songstress Rihanna's big screen acting debut! Not quite sure what her role will be just yet, but this doesn't look like a cameo folks!

Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgard play brothers and naval officers facing off against an alien invasion. Peter Berg is directing and the film is expected to be delivered in theaters in May 2012.

What do you think of Rhi Rhi's acting debut? Do you think she has what it takes to light up the silver screen like she does the concert stage?

Sorry, Lady Gaga: Rihanna Is Now the Most Popular Woman on Facebook

As of the 15/7/11 Rihanna has overcome Lady Gaga to become the most popular woman on Facebook.
Long hailed as the queen of social media, Lady Gaga was the first living music artist to reach 10,000,000 Facebook fans, beating president Obama in that “race” by about 700,000. However, not even Gaga is untouchable; the equally lively account of Rihanna, updated by one or more ghost writers, has lately been growing faster than Gaga’s.

As of this writing, Rihanna has 40,564,950 Facebook fans, some 20,000 more than Lady Gaga‘s 40,543,536.

Lady Gaga still has the comfort of being the most popular user on Twitter. According to Twitaholic, she has more than 11.6 million followers, followed by Justin Bieber who has 11 million. Rihanna is 13th on Twitter with a “mere” 6.1 million followers.

Rihanna and Drake getting intimate

Drake and Rihanna getting it in?
Here we go again. Just as rumors subsided that Rihanna and Drake were an item, a new photo of the “What’s My Name?” collaborators has surfaced. In the grainy image, which was taken on June 12 when RiRi was on tour in Canada, Drake is seen with his arm wrapped around the pop star in a private booth at Buonanotte Supperclub in Montreal. The two enjoyed the weekend together, attending the Montreal Grand Prix and Drizzy even popped up at a couple of her shows. But while it may appear otherwise, Rihanna’s camp insists that the two are not dating and are good friends.

Do you think Drake and Rihanna are more than musically involved with each other or should people put the rumours to rest?
