The biggest moment of the VMA’s wasn’t anything captured by the television cameras, but by the “Seating cam!”

The seating cam, a camera that caught all the celebs as they made their way to their seats, filmed Rihanna approached Chris Brown on her way to her seat and gave him a hug and a kiss!

Ahh! I HATE this.

According to TMZ,  Rihanna made a beeline for Brown as she saw him go to his seat. When she got close, Brown saw her and stood up to approach her…though he he didn’t have to go too far, as Rihanna was already there and willing to say hello.  Then, Rihanna kissed him on the cheek and the two shared a hug. Rihanna then went to where she was supposed to sit, and the show went on as planned.

This is  the first time we’ve seen the two touching each other since Brown brutally beat Rihanna the night before the Grammys in  2009.  Since, Rihanna has dated but she publicly told Oprah that Brown was “the love of her life.”

Okay, NO man is the love of your life if he ever, ever lays a hand on you.  Secondly (and way less importantly, but still of note), Rihanna is only 24! Most people I know don’t meet the “love of their lives” until they’re older than that. Riri- you’re so talented! Don’t let your confused heart get in the way of your success, girl!

Katy Perry and Rihanna were all over each other last night at the VMA’s, but that could have something to do with the cocktails they were sipping. I thought Rihanna looked gorgeous with her short hair and flawless white dress. Katy, on the other hand, has looked better. She should have skipped the extensions and left her hair in that cute bob, AND I’m not digging this dress at all. She’s looked better.

PS: Was anyone else surprised Katy Perry didn’t perform? After the year she’s had, I’m shocked she didn’t.

Rihanna arrived at Heathrow airport from Los Angeles today in this ensemble!

Now I know we all shouldn’t be held accountable for the fashion choices we make while traveling (comfort over style, right?), but RiRi is looking especially cray cray in her sweatshirt, long skirt and Chuck Taylor ensemble.  Notice her sweatshirt showcasing one of her favorite recreational activities…

Do you think her outfit is fashion forward, or reminiscent of an 8th grader’s?

Three years ago, Chris Brown attacked his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. Now, Rihanna is opening up about the attack, claiming she still “truly loves him”.

The singer sat down with Oprah at her home in Barbados for an emotional interview, which aired on Oprah’s Next Chapter on Sunday. Rihanna spoke at length about her relationship with Brown.

“I’m single, but we have maintained a very close friendship since the restraining order has been dropped,” the 24-year-old told Oprah. “It’s not easy.”

The Grammy award winner also confirmed what many had suspected – that the former couple reconnected in St. Tropez earlier this year.

“We went to a mutual friend’s party on a yacht. It’s awkward because I still love him,” she said. Adding that when she’s around Brown she has to “maintain this poker face.”

During the sit-down Rihanna said she is still concerned about Brown’s welfare.

“I truly love him,” she continued. “And the main thing for me is that he is at peace. I’m not at peace if he is unhappy or he is still lonely. I care. It actually matters that he finds peace.”

I feel bad for her. How horrible to feel so connected with him, even after he beat her face in. I can’t imagine what it’s like going through this kind of situation, but I kind of feel like I might understand still being in love with the guy.

An ad exec for the skincare company ‘Nivea’ says he’s not feeling Nivea’s new ad campaign, featuring some very provocative pictures of Rihanna!

The company was originally thrilled to have the Barbados-born Rihanna on board as their spokesperson and the face of their 100 year anniversary campaign. In fact, the brand was a big sponsor of her world tour last year. Still, Nivea seems to be singing a different tune, these days.

Stefan Heidenreich – the new head of Nivea’s parent firm, Beiersdorf – has told German media that it was a mistake to hire the controversial singer to be the face of the brand’s family image.

 ‘The advert starring Rihanna was a no go. I do not understand how Nivea can be brought into association with Rihanna. Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability.”

Kinda not sure what Heidenrich means? Well, in one ad spot, a family is seen moisturising with Nivea while Rihanna’s sultry hit California King Bed plays in the background.  A little…ew, right?

Still, they must have paid a pretty penny for RiRi.  Sorry, Nivea!

Even though she has two of the hottest singers out there fighting over her (Drake and Chris Brown), Rihanna insists that her love life is “pretty much non-existent”.

“I have been conservative in my love life…it’s pretty much non-existent,” she reveals. “If I come across someone who I find really cool, I’ll hang out. But the minute I find that we’re getting too close I just — I don’t let people in.”

Her attitude towards love has changed since suffering an assault in 2009 at the hands of her then-boyfriend Brown.

“When I was in love, I fell so hard. I was really, really, really in love,” she tells the magazine. “The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I’d feel that pain in my life. I’m afraid of feeling that again.”

Rihanna says she makes up for her “conservative” love life by being, she says, “rebellious through my music, through my fashion, tattoos, and my hair.”

Ri-Ri also talks about her sleek figure, which she says remains slim no matter what she eats, much to her dismay.

“I don’t know if there’s something going on with my body right now, but I’m eating everything in life! I miss my ass. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it’s not living up to its full potential right now.”

The August issue of Harper’s Bazaar, featuring Rih on the cover, hits newsstands July 17.

In other Rihanna news, OK! magazine reports that she attended the wake of her late grandmother Clara Brathwait, a.k.a. Gran Gran Dolly, on Thursday in New York City.

Here are some new pictures of Rihanna performing live at the “Barclaycard Wireless Festival,” held at Hyde Park in London, England over the weekend.
