Here are new pictures of Rihanna at last night’s Met Gala in New York City.
Rihanna wore a beautiful dress, actually. It’s Tom Ford, and it looks like a crocodile-type material. The dress fits her beautiful, and I love her look (despite the ugly black nails).
Rihanna certainly nailed her performance on Saturday Night Live over the weekend.
The singer was the musical guest alongside host Eli Manning. She performed two new songs off her album ‘Talk That Talk’ – “Birthday Cake” and “Where Have You Been”.
According to TMZ, Rihanna missed her “SNL” dress rehearsal performance because of an illness, which angered many “Saturday Night Live” producers, including Lorne Michaels. “Rihanna was sick and needed to save her voice for the live show,” a source told TMZ.
The pop megastar showed no ill effects during her “SNL” performance, which included some of the dance sequences she highlighted in a recently released video for “Where Have You Been.” In a behind-the-scenes clip, Rihanna revealed that famed choreographer Hi-Hat (“Step Up 3″) was helping her create a routine.
In February, Rihanna unveiled a controversial remix of “Birthday Cake,” featuring Chris Brown, her ex-boyfriend. Brown viciously beat Rihanna in a 2009 incident before the Grammy Awards, at which they were scheduled to perform.
Looks like there won’t be a Chris Brown and Rihanna reconciliation anytime soon.
Chris’ girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, tweeted an Instagram photo of herself kissing Brown at the beach – with the sun setting in the background. She wrote “head over heels”.
The couple have been dating since Spring 2011.
The affectionate photo will hopefully put to rest any rumors that Brown is secretly hooking up with his ex, Rihanna — rumors that were fueled by the pair’s recent collaboration on two remixes, “Birthday Cake” and “Turn Up the Music (Remix),” and the Twitter feud that erupted between Tran and Rihanna.
“We did two records,” Rihanna said on “One Air with Ryan Seacrest” about collaborating with Brown. “One for my fans. One for his fans, and that way our fans can come together. There shouldn’t be a divide. You know? It’s music, and it’s innocent.”
It may be innocent, but we wonder how Tran feels about her boyfriend singing the lyrics, “Girl I wanna f**k you right now. Been a long time, I’ve been missing your body,” on Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake” remix.
