Rihanna was joined onstage by her "Love the Way You Lie" collaborator Eminem at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 22.

At Rihanna Collabo, Lil’ Kim Hints

Australia’s LifeLounge in a current interview, pint sized rapper Lil’ Kim revealed that a coaction with model-with-a-mic, Rihanna, is in the works.
More after the jump…
Speaking on the collabo, the Queen Bee said:
“I’m a huge (Rihanna) fan and she’s a friend of mine, so I’m almost guessing — if I had to guess — I’m 90% sure that a song is likely in the works.”
Though Rihanna’s vocals sound like cats being thrown off a balcony, her slew of hit coactions precedes her. Hence, should this collabo look the light of day, it’d be a smart move on Kim’s part to re-establish herself. After all, her last release was 2005’s (incredible) ‘Naked Truth’. In any case, it’ll be interesting to look how this one plays out…

Rihanna caught smoking marijuana?

Rihanna has reportedly been caught smoking marijuana. According to Media Takeout, the singer was in her hotel room allegedly using the substance with her friends in Barbados. After alarm bells went off in the high end hotel, security was forced to investigate room for Rihanna. Since the incident, it has been reported that the singer has been banned from the hotel after the room was left unrecognisable. Currently, politicians in Barbados have been criticised for giving Rihanna a free plot of land.

Rihanna and Lily Allen spark the hottest hosiery in town.

The legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock knew all about the power of suspense. And celebrities are following his lead this summer, with a sizzling show of hosiery.

As the Cole Porter song, ‘Anything Goes’ has it; “In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking ...”

Today, however, it’s not just a glimpse - it’s the entire stocking - if you ‘re out to shock. And it doesn’t stop there.

When the ‘It’ girl, Alice Dellal, appeared at the star-studded Louis Vuitton shop opening in London, recently, wearing an Alexander McQueen body-con ‘micro’, short enough to show her black fishnet stockings and suspenders, she had the papparazzi mesmerized.

She is hardly the only one. Rihanna, Lily Allen, Taylor Momsen and Kylie Minogue are just a few of the style-stars who have hooked up with the craze for sexy suspenders.

Selfridges has reported a huge boom in sales. The young designer Henry Holland’s “illusion” suspender-tights are the hottest hosiery ticket in town. And New Look are doing a bomb with their Rihanna-style “laddered” tights.

'Kemp Keeps Me Sane', Rihanna

Rihanna has credited her boyfriend Matt Kemp with keeping her "sane" while she tours the world, insisting the baseball star brings her "peace" and "happiness".
The pair confirmed their relationship in April after reports of a romance emerged in January when the singer and the Los Angeles Dodgers player were spotted on holiday together in Mexico.
The young lovers have been kept apart in current weeks while the Umbrella hitmaker tours with her Last Girl On Earth shows, but Rihanna is grateful for the support of the sports star while she's so busy working.
She tells Elle magazine, "I have a boyfriend. I'm so happy. I feel actually comfortable, and it's so easy. I have such a chaotic life, but at the end of the day, that is just my peace. It keeps me sane, really, talking to him and talking to my family."

Chris Brown forced to scrap UK tour after Home Office bans singer over Rihanna attack

US R&B singer Chris Brown has been forced to scrap his British tour after he was refused a visa for attacking ex girlfriend Rihanna.
The Home Office said Brown was banned because he had been found guilty of a serious criminal offence.
The tour was due to have started in Glasgow today, followed by gigs in Birmingham, Manchester and London.
Tour promoter SJM said on its website that the concerts had been cancelled "due to unforeseen circumstances".
Fans were advised to hold on to their tickets with the possibility of the dates being re-arranged.
Brown, 21, attacked Rihanna in his car after a pre-Grammy Awards party in Los Angeles. Leaked police photos revealed the brutality of the attack with bruises clearly visible around the singer's mouth and on her cheek and forehead.

Brown, whose hits include Run It! and Kiss Kiss was given five years' probation last August, ordered to perform 180 days of community service and attend domestic abuse counselling.
The Home Office said: "We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offence. Public safety is one of our primary concerns.
"Each application to enter the UK is considered on its individual merits."
Brown has the right to appeal. Sony Music also confirmed the tour has been postponed "due to issues surrounding his work visa".
It added: "Chris looks forward to performing for his fans abroad in the near future and thanks them for their continued support."
Brown had posted on his Twitter feed that he had been denied entry to the UK but the entries were later removed.
