[Watch] Rihanna Dances In ‘Where Have You Been’ Video!

By Carlton Jordan | April 30, 2012 | Music, News | No comments

After pulling an EXO and dropping fifty trillion teasers and previews - Rihanna has finally premiered the full music video for her new single “Where Have You Been”.

Most of you will recognize “Where Have You Been” as one of only two dance songs from Talk That Talk, and the only tune left on the hit-and-miss album that has any real hit potential.

With plot taking a backseat, the majority of the video revolves around RiRi strutting around like a fierce bitch in various tribal-themed settings. The best part is that she’s finally learned to dance a little, with her tutelage clearly coming from the school of Beyonce. RiRi’s moves won’t blow your mind like Janet Jackson or TVXQ, but she almost manages to match Bey with her animalistic p*ssy popping routine.

Rihanna Goes Topless In Hawaii!

By Carlton Jordan | April 18, 2012 | Music, News | No comments

I can see the the memo from Roc Nation management: All artist must begin to share personal photos of themselves once a week. Makes sense to me! In the day and age where everyone is battling for news coverage, giving the press something to talk about (therefore increasing you brand visibility), has been easier than ever!

Speaking of….X17 reports, Rihanna knows how to make a splash no matter what she’s doing … and going topless while vacationing in Hawaii is just another example of her wild ways.
