Rihanna and Jay-Z Rise Up in Africa

Teaming up for a good cause, Rihanna and Jay-Z were among the performers on hand in Abuja to kick off the Thisday Music and Fashion Festival on Friday night (July 11).

Hitting the stage as the opening act, Rihanna treated the fans to a rendition of her first big hit, Pon de Replay, before working her way into Turn Me On Boy and Shut Up and Drive.

Rihanna Rocks Spanish Idol

You know you’re a big deal when American Idol franchises from other countries come calling for you to perform.  And Rihanna was in Barcelona, Spain doing her thing yesterday (July 8).

The Good Girl Gone Bad performed her hit song “Hate That I Love You” on the Spanish version of American Idol.  She also received two platinum CDs in recognition of album sales in excess of 800,000 copies.

Rihanna Rocks Essence Festival Stage

Opting to work on Independence Day, Rihanna took the stage to perform at the Louisiana Superdome during the 2008 Essence Music Festival on Friday (July 4).

The New Orleans based festival, which kicked off yesterday and runs until Sunday, “celebrates black music and culture and moved to Houston in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina smashed New Orleans. It returned in 2007, and organizers say Essence is now re-establishing its place in the city.”

Rihanna Goes Shopping with the Girls

This girl is so stylish she even looks photo-shoot-ready when she’s running errands.  And Rihanna was spotted out and about yesterday in West Hollywood.

The “Take a Bow” songstress was joined by a few gal pals as she enjoyed some time off from her usual promotional and performing duties (over the weekend she sang two songs for Pete Wentz’s FNMTV show).  And she looked adorable in a black top with matching skirt and a pair of serious black leather boots. 

Rihanna and Chris Brown: Domestic Bliss

They’ve been constantly trying to dispel the rumors that they’re together.  But yesterday, Rihanna and Chris Brown may have put the final nail in the coffin of keeping their love a secret.

The “Kiss Kiss” singer and his “Disturbia” gal were spotted going grocery shopping together at a West Hollywood supermarket.  And no matter how hard they tried to look separate, there was no denying that they’re an item.
