Rihanna Fuming After Father Sold Tales and Family Photos

Rihanna has taken aim at her father for selling tall tales and candid family photos to the tabloids. In a revealing new Vogue magazine interview, the Bajan beauty admits her father's actions make her question exactly what she means to him.

"It's really strange... You grow up with your father, you know him, you are part of him, for goodness sakes!" she says. "And then he does something so bizarre that I can't begin to wrap my mind around it. You hear these horror stories about people going behind people's backs and doing strange things, but you always think, 'Not my family. My father would never do that to me.' "

And the "Umbrella" singer was particularly upset with what her father told the media after she went into hiding following her assault at the hands of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Rihanna adds, "My dad went to the press and just told them a bunch of lies, because he hadn't talked to me after... that whole thing."

"He never called to find out how I was doing, if I was alive, nothing. He just never called. He went straight to the press and got a cheque."

Rihanna Puts Personal Life in Music After Her Fight With Chris Brown

Rihanna has given her infamous 2009 assault a positive spin, insisting the incident and its scandalous aftermath has made her a better songwriter. The "Umbrella" hitmaker was beaten black and blue by then-boyfriend Chris Brown, who is still serving his punishment for the attack, and the couple split immediately after the fight. But Rihanna insists the drama gave her an edge that she didn't have before.

She tells Vogue magazine, "It actually gave me a lot of liberation. What I mean is, I was able to tap into the personal part of my music. I started to tell stories through my music that were actually my stories. My album before that, there was still a little bit of protection, there was still an innocence to me. And what that time in my life did was kind of wake people up - it's not all a bed of roses. My life is like yours."

"It made me look at the world in a much bigger way because my life was suddenly superduper magnified; all eyes were on me. I needed that in my life to know how to say, 'F**k off!' To know how to keep my head high even in the worst of situations. I keep using the word unapologetic, but there's a freedom that has come with all of that. Where you feel like you don't have to make an excuse for being yourself."

Rihanna’s Retail Therapy Down Under

Rihanna’s Retail Therapy Down Under



Making the most of her time in Australia, Rihanna was spotted shopping in Sydney at a mall today (March 2).

The “Take a Bow” songstress looked fabulous as she combed the racks with her BFF Melissa, sporting a casual black dress with black heels and a long red wig.

Ri-Ri and Melissa hit up a sexy lingerie store before heading over to a Christian Louboutin boutique and then grabbing dinner.

Meanwhile, Rihanna has been craving more body art as of late. She tweeted, “@BangBangtattoos BANG BANG!!!! I’m seriously getting tattoo fever!!! wtf is up?? When can we do this??? I’ll give u a free touch-up lol.”

Rihanna and Ciara Make Up After Catfight

The claws came out between Rihanna and Ciara this week, but it looks like the catfight is over between these singers. Both gals posted apologies on their Twitter pages today after some not-so-nice comments were exchanged earlier this week.

It all started when Ciara dished on RiRi on Fashion Police, saying:  "I ran into her recently at a party. She wasn't the nicest," she said. "It's crazy, because I've always loved and respected what she's done in fashion. It wasn't the most pleasant run-in."

After catching wind of the jabs, Rihanna fought back on Twitter. She wrote: "My bad Ci, did I forget to tip you? #Howrudeofme," followed by "You gangsta huh? Ha."

Ciara fought back on Twitter, snapping: "Trust me Rihanna you don't want to see me on or off the stage."

Of course, Rihanna wouldn't let her have the last barb, and replied: "Good luck with bookin that stage you speak of." Burn!

But, Rihanna squashed the fight a little later, offering the olive branch to her fellow singer. "Ciara baby, I love you girl!" she Tweeted. "You hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's why I retaliated this way! So sorry! Let's make up."

Ciara then wrote back: "Rhi u know its always been love since day 1! Doing shows/everything. you threw me off in that party! Apology accepted. Let's chat in person>'

All's well that ends well, right?

Report: Rihanna and Ryan Phillippe Have been Hooking Up for Months

Report: Rihanna and Ryan Phillippe Have been Hooking Up for Months

It seemed that the Ryan Phillippe-Amanda Seyfried romance fizzled out quickly, but the fire couldn't have been that hot...if rumors are true that the actor has been courting Rihanna for months!

"They initially hooked up when things were strained with [Rihanna's ex] Matt Kemp back in early December," a Rihanna source told Us. "She thinks he's hot."

Most recently, we heard that Rihanna totally blew off the actor, but their interaction after a recent LA luncheon begs the opposite: "They totally had sex. And it wasn't even the first time!" the source says.

The two reconnected at a charity event last week and then her recent birthday bash, but they are keeping things incognito...for now.

An attendee at the birthday party said: "They hung out a bit, but were discreet. It is still very casual." Another source added: "Clearly they're keeping it on the downlow!"

Report: Rihanna's Been Sexy Texting with Colin Farrell

Report: Rihanna's Been Sexy Texting with Colin Farrell

Rihanna is currently single following her split from baseball star Matt Kemp in December, so she's been free to bombard another A-lister with romantic text messages: Colin Farrell! They met on British TV host Graham Norton's talk show shortly before Christmas.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Colin was taken aback by some of the texts. He thinks he might well be in there. They're both single, so why not?"

On the show, the 34-year-old star admitted that he couldn't take his mind off the Bajan beauty's skimpy dress, which left only her "limbs" on show.

He said: "They are very nice limbs. There's probably a reason I mentioned them, I had to get them off my mind."

Colin -- who has a 16-month-old son Henry with actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus and seven-year-old James with model Kim Bordenave -- is now reportedly planning to meet up with Rihanna, 23, in Los Angeles whenever their hectic schedules allow.

Rihanna recently admitted she wanted to move on from her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown -- who was convicted of assaulting her in February 2009 -- and finds it "annoying" that people won't stop asking her about the incident.

She tweeted: "People won't stop askin abt it! Its f**kin annoying! Nobody wants to relive that, but some ppl can't respect that!

"I get it, they wanna raise awareness to young girls! But it ends up just makin me look bitter, pitiful, spiteful and angry!"

Birthday Girl Rihanna's NBA All-Star Game Performance

Birthday Girl Rihanna's NBA All-Star Game Performance



Spending her 23rd birthday tending to center spotlight performing duties, Rihanna offered up a sizzling halftime show during the 2011 NBA All-Star Game at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 20).

The Barbadian beauty took the stage as she kicked things off with a rendition of her career-launching single "Umbrella" before transitioning into her hot new hit "Only Girl In the World".


Also delivering an energetic rendition of "Rude Boy," RiRi was then joined onstage by Canadian rapper Drake for their chart-topping duet "What's My Name?" - during which Drake changed up the lyrics to offer up birthday wishes to Rihanna.

Closing things out to the delight of the packed crowd, Kanye West

emerged for the final song of the evening as he and Rihanna performed "All of the Lights" - which just saw in the release of its music video directed by Hype Williams the previous day.

Once finished up with the show, Rihanna changed into something more comfortable and grabbed up a seat alongside Justin Bieber as the pair watched the Western Conference team beat the Eastern Conference squad by a score of 148-143. Kobe Bryant was named MVP.
