Rihanna and the Coconuts

Not content with selling millions of records, having her own perfume, being the face of Nivea and generally being very rich, Rihanna is now the face of coconut water Vita Coco. With Madonna and Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Anthony Kiedis as investors in the water brand, we’re sure it will be flying off the shelves.

Madonna said: “'Rihanna is a natural fit for the Vita Coco brand and I'm so happy to have her on the team.”

Personally, we can’t stand coconut water – we tried it numerous times in the West Indies and really tried to like it, but no. That said, it is high in potassium so would make a good sports drink. There are even reports of coconut water being used as an intravenous hydration fluid in some developing countries where medical saline was unavailable. Multipurpose then!

Vita Coco costs from £2.05 for 330ml to £4.65 for 1 litre and is available online and in store at Holland & Barrett.

It's Rihanna's Sleepy "California King Bed" Video

In the age of the slick, over-produced pop jam, let's all give a round of applause to Rihanna for releasing a good old-fashioned ballad as the fourth single off her Loud album.

The video for the song arrived today, and while it may seem as sleepy as the title (unintentionally) implies, it's still at least a colorful homage to none other than the crimson-weaved singer behind the tribute.

Rihanna is one hot broad, and it's never been more obvious than this dreamy clip. Do we expect it to become her fourth #1 hit in a row from her latest album? Probably not. Even the dance-infused "S&M" needed the Britney Spears remix to achieve a brief appearance at the top of the Hot 100.

Still, if it's not RiRi you're celebrating with "California King Bed," then at least give snaps to the return of the guitar solo in pop songs!

U.S. Chart Roundup: Britney And Kelly Rowland Soar While Beyonce Flops Hard

Exactly two months after the single first arrived, Britney Spears' "Till The World Ends" gets a major push up the Billboard Hot 100 (to #3) thanks to the new remix featuring Wigney's upcoming tourmate Nicki Minaj and the song's co-writer Ke$ha. The last Britney single to peak at #3 on the chart was "Circus." This now gives her three Top 5 hits in a row, following "Hold It Against Me" and "3."

Don't expect The Wig's latest to stick around too long, though — the novelty of the remix appears to have been fleeting, as it's already dropped to #20 on iTunes. The original version of "Till The World Ends" is at #36 on the digital store's chart.

Likewise, it's odd that Billboard even credits Britney this week on Rihanna's "S&M" (#6), since that remix has plummeted to #152 on iTunes. (RiRi's Loud version is hanging in there at #18).

But let's focus on the two high profile singles that have dropped faster than an 17-year-old hooker's panties at R. Kelly's mansion: Lady Gaga's "Judas" and Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)." Gaga's latest has steadily tumbled, from #10 to #12 to, now, #20. At least she has this week's appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show and the premiere of the music video tonight to rely on (not to mention upcoming performances on the American Idol and Saturday Night Live finales).

Meanwhile, House Of Dereon's Main Wig has yet to premiere her video for "Run The World." But let's face it — that song sucks dry weave dust, hence its plunge from #33 to #48.

On the flip side, Kelly Rowland, the TRUE talent from Destiny's Child, climbs 11 positions to #43 with "Motivation." Finally, a little justice comes along to put Beyonce in her place.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West *5 weeks*
2. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
3. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears feat. Nicki Minaj & Ke$ha
4. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
5. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
6. "S&M" - Rihanna feat. Britney Spears
7. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
8. "Blow" -Ke$ha
9. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent
10. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes

U.S. Chart Roundup: Rihanna & Britney Spears Are #1, Kelly Rowland Shows Beyonce How It's Done

Rihanna and Britney Spears scissor their way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the remix of Ri Ri's "S&M" that The Chanting Wig's angelic voice appears on. This gives Ri her 10th chart-topping single in the U.S., and Weaveney her fifth.

Billboard points out that Rihanna achieves the shortest span between a solo artist's first and 10th #1 singles in Hot 100 history—a stretch of four years, 11 months and two weeks that began with "SOS". Meanwhile, The Chanting Wig's  "Till The World Ends" slips from its peak position of #8 to #9.

And then there's Lady Gaga's "Judas," which leaked on Friday (four days ahead of its scheduled release) and debuts at #10 on the strength of 162,000 downloads sold by Sunday. This marks that broad's ninth Top 10 single. It's a shame "Judas" seems like less of an event, because I actually think that once the dust settles on this era for Gaga, it will be regarded as a better song than "Born This Way."


Elsewhere, Jessie J's mediocre Dr. Luke trash "Price Tag" scrapes its way to #24, while her debut LP Who You Are enters the Top 200 album chart at #11. And then there's The Script, whose single "For The First Time" is so boring I'd completely forgotten it existed. But, no—there it is this week at #36.

Destiny's Child's real success story, Kelly Rowland, sees her latest jam "Motivation" debut at #55. This marks her highest placement on the Hot 100 since "Like This" reached the stunning heights of #30 four years ago.

House Of Dereon's Lucky Hack Beyonce should sit her tired wig down and be studying Ms. Kelendria's every move!

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "S&M" - Rihanna feat. Britney Spears *1 week*
2. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
3. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
4. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent
5. "Fuck You" - Cee Lo Green
6. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
7. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
8. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
9. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears

Rihanna: The New ‘Skin’ of NIVEA

Rihanna has been announced as the 'skin' of NIVEA skincare and poses naked in its 100th anniversary ad campaign.

Launching in May, in addition to adverts, the campaign comprises sponsorship of Rihanna's upcoming LOUD tour in the US and Europe and will give fans the chance to interact through NIVEA and Rihanna owned social media channels.

U.S. Chart Roundup: Britney Spears Weaves Back Into The Top 10

After previously reaching #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 then falling down the chart a bit, The Chanting Wig's second Femme Fatale single "Till The World Ends" gets a major boost following its music video premiere, and hops from #13 to #8.

To date, The Chanting Wig has never had a single peak at #8 on the Hot 100, so we'll just have to wait and see if "Till The World Ends" becomes the first. For this week at least, her appearance on a new remix of Rihanna's current #2 single "S&M" seems to be stealing all the thunder.

The Chanting Wig should just be thankful that "Till The World Ends" is actually climbing the chart, as opposed to "Hold It Against Me," which debuted at #1 then steadily plummeted after a lone week on top.

Over on the Top 200, Rolling Stone cover girl Adele returns to #1 with 21 for a fourth non-consecutive week as it becomes the first album to sell one million copies this year.  This pushes The Chanting Wig's Femme Fatale down to #2.

Other than that, it's a fairly lackluster week. So my wig is off to chant in the shower.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West *3 weeks*
2. "S&M" - Rihanna
3. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
4. "Fuck You" - Cee Lo Green
5. "Born This Way" - Lady Gaga
6. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent
7. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
8. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears
9. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
10. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele

Steal her Look: Rihanna in ‘Who’s That Chick?’

Guest post by Kemi

The inspiration for this look was Rihanna in the video for her song Who’s That Chick? where she wears bright yellow, hues of green and brown and girly hot pink lipstick and blush.

Rihanna

I used Stargazer glitter eye dust in pink and yellow. Normally I’m not a fan of powders or glitters unless the product is pressed, but these eye dusts by Stargazer are pigmented - lots of bright colour! The powder is loose so one benefit is more colour pay off.

A quick tip - use a little at a time because it has a bright colour. Put a generous amount of loose translucent powder under the eyes. Using a medium sized applicator brush, dip into the Stargazer glitter powder and tap off the excess (this is very important). Once you’re happy with colour on your lids, use a fan brush to wipe off any fallout of extra glitter on your face. If you’re going for a fun girly look I highly recommend these products.

Bright colours look great on skins with yellow and orange undertones which covers the majority of black and mixed skins of all colours and shades. Use a black powder to create smoky eyes and the yellow to make the eye bright and fun.

To create the rest of the look, create your canvas. Use a foundation of your choice (see my post on faking natural beauty for more info). You might think it weird that I’ve done the eye make up first but this is a trick of the trade - most make up artists do the eyes before they apply foundation in order not to mess up their hard work!


Use a Primer. I used the 17 Photo Flawless Primer from Boots which creates a smooth surface on the eyelids to apply and blend eye shadows. It also allows makeup to last all day all night! At only £4.99 you can’t go wrong. Tap a 5 pence coin size amount onto your lids all the way up to your brow and blend with your finger.

For your base use a neutral colour, brown, beige, gold matte without shimmer. This is just to create a layer so that the brighter colour shows more. I used Benefit’s ‘Dandy Brandy’ velvet eye shadow.

Use your applicator brush to apply the bright glitter eye dust on the lid from the inner corner. I used bright yellow ‘30’ eye dust. If you want a pink girly look use the glitter eye dust in ‘106’ or ‘107’ which is a bright fuchsia colour.

Apply the darker colour with a smudge brush or blender brush (black or brown) at the crease and gently blend outwards in an A shape. This should look soft and not a harsh or sharp line. (Unless you want a lot of drama!)

Apply mascara and liner brush to draw thin lines following the shape of your eye. If you want a retro look, do a 50’s inspired flick for a girly touch. I used Bobbi Brown Gel Liner as it’s long lasting and very easy to use regardless of your drawing skills!

Apply fake lashes for more girly drama! I used thick lashes with cubed feathers by Stargazer ‘60’.

Stargazer Fake Lashes are £5.00 and each pot of eye dust is £3 and available to buy at www.stargazer-products.com.

I'll Say This One Thing About Rihanna & Britney Spears' "S&M" Remix...

While Britney Spears mostly sounds like an over-processed robot getting a jumper cable clamped to its vajazzle basket and shocked with 200 volts of Whore on Femme Fatale, vocally, she actually chirps through Rihanna's new "S&M" remix sounding like her old 5-year-old-with-a-runny-nose self for the most part.

Not sure if The Chanting Wig has ever truly featured on another artist's track (?), but this is the next good step for Operation: Britney Redemption, following the "Till The World Ends" video.



Makes me wanna stop typing for seven seconds and vibe to Duchovny.

Rihanna in Rolling Stone Magazine

Rihanna has a heart-to-heart with the folks at Rolling Stone and gets her booty out in the process. Check out that derriere on the cover!

She says of her relationship with Chris Brown:  “I put my guard up so hard. I didn't want people to see me cry. I didn't want people to feel bad for me. It was a very vulnerable time in my life and I refused to let that be the image. I wanted them to see me as, 'I'm fine, I'm tough.' I put that up until it felt real.”

She also discusses her difficult childhood, how she feels about the endless rumours on her love life and what the infamous single S&M means to her.

Watch her behind the scenes at the Rolling Stones shoot.




The full interview is in Rolling Stone magazine, out now.

Rihanna's Ass And Rihanna Cover 'Rolling Stone'

If you tore a single back pocket off a pair of jeans and then tried to slap it across your naked butt, you'd already have way more clothes on than Rihanna does on the cover of the cover of the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone.

But I get it. Her ass is her weapon. It's a political statement. Viva la revolution.

The "I'm Sick As Hell" Music Roundup: Britney, Avril, Ke$ha, Willow, Lil Kim & Rihanna

I've been sick as a dog since I returned from a trip back to Pennsylvania this past weekend, so sorry for things been quiet around here this week so far. Nevertheless, this morning I dragged myself to the computer to bang out a few thoughts on what's been going down on Planet Pop over the past three days. Read' 'em below.

21st Century Flop



I like the part where Cicely Tyson screams at the beginning of Willow Smith's "21st Century Girl" video—you know, like the Roc Nation bean counters are doing when comparing the budget of the clip to the fact that the song is only #165 on iTunes.

Baby Shut Your Mouth



I've been maintaining that "Inside Out" is the best one of the half dozen Britney Spears Femme Fatale song snippets to pop up in recent weeks, and this lengthier clip that leaked yesterday just goes to prove it.

Blow My Speakers Up



Avril Lavigne covering Ke$ha for Radio 1 Live Lounge is good stuff. Quote from Avril's Billboard interview about her new album, which is out now: "I found myself in a situation on my fourth record with a bunch of people at the label who I didn't know, and they're coming in on my project and saying, 'Here's what we think you need to do for your record,' and giving me their vision. And radio's so rhythmic/dance-driven right now, and that's not where I was going with this record. So I had to fight and say no, but… I ultimately made the record I wanted to."

Notorious K.I.M.

I love a good train wreck, so I ordered Lil Kim's Black Friday mixtape (via PayPal—class!) a few weeks back. And while she appears to have sliced off Nicki Minaj's head on the cover of the 20-track affair, it's her butchering of Rihanna's Loud track "Man Down" that assures me that this was a sound investment.

Rihanna In Sydney Australia

Proving for the eleventy seventh time that one of the most beautiful women in the world has the most questionable taste and fashion sense, here is Rihanna heading out to lunch in Sydney, Australia, earlier today. Between the midriff and the pleated khakis I'm getting a vintage Britney-meets my high school math teacher vibe. Not good, Rihanna.

Lady Gaga arriving at the Grammys

Moving on, Rihanna must have friends in high places as she arrived in a John Paul Gaultier gown that was only on the catwalks of Paris last month! Nice. We also much prefer her new sleek hairstyle over the Sideshow Bob creation she had been sporting.

US Chart Roundup: "Black And Yellow" Is #1, But The Steelers Probably Don't Wanna Hear It

Well, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost the Super Bowl, but at least fans of the team waved their Terrible Towels high with one hand as they downloaded Wiz Khalifa's hometown football anthem "Black And Yellow" from iTunes with the other. The Stargate-produced hip hop jam finally climbs to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in its 18th week on the chart.

Debuting at #5 is Dr. Dre—who apparently has been more content to live high on his mountain of cash and develop a line of headphones over the past decade than make music under his own name—with "I Need A Doctor." Grammy-nominated British producer Alex Da Kid (check out my interview with him) worked on Dre's track, so its no surprise that Alex's protege Skylar Grey appears on it (not to mention Dre's own protege Eminem).

This brings us to Rihanna's "S&M," which jumps from #66 to #31 after last week's premiere of the song's ho-hum video. Replacing RiRi at #66 is Ke$ha with "Blow," her second single off Cannibal. And two positions above her is Adele's "Rolling In The Deep."

A bit further down, Jessie J's "Price Tag"—this week's UK chart-topper—debuts at #88. Kind of a blase week. But at least, as mentioned yesterday, Pink's Greatest Hits...So Far!!! has finally jumped into the Top 10 on the album chart after three months.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Black And Yellow" - Wiz Khalifa *1 week*
2. "Grenade" - Bruno Mars 
3. "Firework" - Katy Perry
4. "Fuckin' Perfect" - Pink
5. "I Need A Doctor" - Dr. Dre feat. Eminem & Skylar Grey *new*
6. "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" - Enrique Iglesias ft. Ludacris & DJ Frank E
7. "Rocketeer" - Far East Movement feat. Ryan Tedder
8. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake
9. "Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor)" - Pitbull feat. T-Pain
10. "Hold It Against Me" - Britney Spears 

US Chart Roundup: It's Another Top 10 Hit For Pink And Max Martin

Well, Pink might be preggers, but that isn't keeping pop's toughest broad from fighting her way up the charts. "Fuckin' Perfect" becomes her 11th Top 10 hit in the U.S. this week (not counting the atrocity that was "We Are The World 25") as it jumps nine positions to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's also her fifth Max Martin-produced single in a row to crack the Top 10.

Over on the Top 200 album chart, Pink's Greatest Hits...So Far!!! climbs to a new peak position of #11.

"Fuckin' Perfect" has the good fortune to be accompanied by a powerful—if not a bit graphic—music video. Meanwhile, Rihanna attempted a shocking video with "S&M," and it did apparently get banned in 11 countries. But overall the clip just comes across like something we've seen time and time again—and it's been done way better by others. "S&M" moves up from #90 to #66.

Elsewhere, Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" slides up 15 positions to #69. That's always been a good number in my book, and I'm sure in Adele's, too. Unless, of course, it ends up being Rihanna's three-foot-high red afro between her thighs, holding a riding crop. In which case I'd tell her to go chase pavements.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Grenade" - Bruno Mars *4 weeks*
2. "Fuckin' Perfect" - Pink
3. "Firework" - Katy Perry
4. "Black And Yellow" - Wiz Khalifa
5. "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" - Enrique Iglesias ft. Ludacris & DJ Frank E
6. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake
7. "Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor)" - Pitbull feat. T-Pain
8. "Hold It Against Me" - Britney Spears
9. "Rocketeer" - Far East Movement feat. Ryan Tedder
10. "We R Who We R" - Ke$ha

Chart Rigger just turned 6! Fill out the fun pop blogiversary questionnaire.

It's Rihanna's "S&M" Video

With "S&M," Rihanna has gone ahead and done her inevitable "the media treats me like I'm a sex object" music video. The jam is the third single off Loud, following up "Only Girl (In The World)" and "What's My Name"—and like the former, it was co-produced by Stargate and Sandy Vee.

RiRi—or rather, "S&M" director Melina Matsouka—tried to go for the shocking here: Uh-oh, Rihanna's in pink latex; uh-oh, Rihanna's got sex toys and a giant red wig on; uh-oh—and Jesus Christ—is that Perez Hilton being walked on a leash and pissing on a fire hydrant?



That said, what could possibly be shocking that hasn't already been done in music videos these days? As far as a single choice, "S&M" is just okay, if not entirely generic. Here's hoping the powers that Ri go for something with a little more personality and warmth, like "Fading," next.

And, last thing: someone really should have told Rihanna that Ye Olde Vampyre Madonna made this same video back in the year 1734. It's called "Human Nature."

Shop her Style – Rihanna

Rihanna was spotted at a LA Clippers basketball game last week wearing this Topshop t-shirt. She teamed it with a pair of J Brand Hi Rise jeans for a nice not-trying-too-hard look.

We’re firm believers in spending a bit more on jeans, as they’re items that you probably wear the most and they can last for years. These J Brand jeans look good on a slim pear shape like Rihanna. And teamed with a t-shirt that we can all afford (only £20!) she is a good example of mixing high and low end items. Well done Rihanna.

UK Chart Roundup: Sound Of 2011 Jessie J Jumps Into The Top 10

Following the announcement that 22-year-old singer-songwriter Jessie J will follow in Ellie Goulding's footsteps and pick up the Critics' Choice Award at the BRITs next month—not to mention her clinching the top spot on the BBC Sounds Of 2011 roundup—her debut single "Do It Like A Dude" has now jumped to #5 on the UK chart.

I'm still a bit on the fence about this broad. I like her look and slightly unhinged demeanor, but the song itself doesn't quite do it for me.

At any rate, Rihanna, who "Do It Like A Dude" was originally intended for, has landed her fourth #1 UK solo single (and fifth overall) with "What's My Name." (Here in the States she's had nine #1s.) Likewise, her LP Loud is at the top of the album chart for a second week in a row.

Other than that, it's pretty much a quiet chart week. At least here in the U.S. we have Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me", Avril Lavigne's "What The Hell" and Kanye West and Jay-Z's "H.A.M." all being released this week, which should give things a much-needed shaking up.

The U.K. Top 10:

1. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake *1 week*
2. "When We Collide" - Matt Cardle
3. "The Time (Dirty Bit)" - The Black Eyed Peas
4. "Lights On" - Katy B feat. Ms. Dynamite
5. "Do It Like A Dude" - Jessie J 
6. "Your Song" - Ellie Goulding
7. "Firework" - Katy Perry
8. "Like A G6" - Far East Movement
9. "Only Girl (In The World)" - Rihanna
10. "Who's That Chick" - David Guetta feat. Rihanna
