Rihanna has been pretty quiet lately. She’s stayed out of the headlines lately other than her low-key relationship with Drake. Whenever she goes back “on” with Drake, Rihanna immediately halts her attention grabbing antics. She dresses down and claims to become “a square.”
None of that is important right now. Let’s recall the actress vibe that Rihanna was pushing a few years ago when she shot Battleship. Critics trashed the movie, and it did not score enough cash to recoup its production and publicity budgets. A new report from Radar Online says Rihanna still fancies herself an actress. Radar says Rihanna has rejected Tyler Perry’s professional advances because she doesn’t consider him capable of boosting her acting profile. The late Whitney Houston somehow figures into RiRi’s decision. Hmm:
Rihanna is plotting her next movie role but is avoiding director Tyler Perry, who wants the singer to star in one of his romantic comedies, RadarOnline.com has learned.
And a big reason why is that the late Whitney Houston once warned her that Perry?s films were for African-American has-beens! a source told Radar.
“Although Tyler has been courting Rihanna for a year and a half, hoping to build a movie around her, she has rejected the idea,” a source close to the star’s business affairs told RadarOnline.com.
“Rihanna has pointedly avoided meeting with him!”
According to the source, before Houston?s tragic death in 2012, Rihanna, 26, met her at a party and got her take on Perry?s movies, which include the Madea series, Why Did I Get Married? and the recent Single Moms Club.
?Whitney put her off Tyler by warning her bluntly that ‘Tyler?s films are for fading black stars, not rising ones,?? the source said.
“Rihanna so respected Whitney because in addition to being one of the biggest pop stars ever, she starred in hit movies such as The Bodyguard.”
And Rihanna, also a multi-talented star, feels it will be better for her career to do something similar to the 2012 science fiction war film Battleship, for which she received glowing reviews, the source said.
“She’s ruling out doing a Tyler Perry-style romantic comedy because she thinks she works better in action roles, playing the tough girl.”
The source revealed Rihanna is “under a mandate” to get into another studio film before the end of the year.
But sadly for Atlanta-based mogul Perry, 44, it won?t be for him!

I lean towards believing this story simply because Tyler Perry cast Kim Kardashian in one of his recent movies, and everyone (except Anna Wintour) realizes that Kim K. is a joke. Rihanna may not perform any better than any Kardashian in the acting department, but I believe that Rihanna judges Kim like crazy. Rihanna has also shown her own racism on prior occasions.
I am concerned about the “mandate” that Rihanna must satisfy. Is her management telling her to book another studio film this year? Rihanna has already recorded seven albums in the past nine years. She’s scored 53 singles during that time. She is still currently managed by Jay-Z, right? If this story is true, then Jay needs to give this girl a break.

Carefully making her way through a huge crowd of fans and photographers, Rihanna arrived at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Friday (March 28).
The "Monster" singer showed a bit of skin for her travels in a cropped gray hoodie and matching drawstring pants.
Earlier in the week, the 26-year-old was in London, England, supporting her new flame Drake on his Would You Like a Tour tour.
Though they've kept their relationship largely private, the high-powered pair were photographed holding hands after leaving the Tramps nightclub in town.

Making a return trip to the Tramp Nightclub, Rihanna was all by her lonesome in London, England on Wednesday night (March 26).
The ?We Found Love? singer found plenty of shutterbugs waiting for her as she scurried inside, wearing an embellished black leather jacket with a little black dress, chrome Louboutin heels and a white Chanel purse.
Back in the states, Rihanna is looking to unload some of her pricey real estate as she just listed her Pacific Palisades mansion for $14.995 million.
The 11,000 square foot home includes seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, 20 parking spots, a massive outdoor pool and a sundeck. She?s been renting out the house for $65,000 a month, but now she?s ready to move on.

Teaming up for a fun-filled evening, Rihanna joined Drake at an after party in London, England following his second sold-out show at the O2 Arena last night (March 25).
The ?Umbrella? songstress looked gorgeous in a white fur trench coat with denim shorts and Nike high tops as she headed into the shindig.
Meanwhile, Drake made a separate entrance in a black and white ensemble, clearly pumped about his fans? support in the UK.
And this summer, Ri-Ri will receive the CFDA Fashion Icon Award. CFDA CEO Steven Kolb announced, ?We are proud to present Rihanna with the CFDA Fashion Icon Award for her impact on the industry as fashion?s most exciting ambassador in recent memory.?

Stepping out for a delicious meal, Rihanna headed to Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 20).
The ?Diamonds? songstress donned white crop top with a see-through white skirt that exposed her hot Pink panties as she made her way into her favorite dinner spot.
During the day, an L.A. police officer who had distributed a photo of Rihanna?s injuries after she was attacked by Chris Brown in 2009 was properly fired for her actions. Rebecca Reyes was accused of taking a picture of the evidence photo then selling it to TMZ.
According to the court filings, she snapped the photo to show the other officers and acquaintances, including a former girlfriend who worked for the celebrity site?s television show. After reviewing the record, Lavin stated he agreed that Reyes should no longer be a police officer and noted that evidences also supported that she ?participated in the release of the photography showing [Rihanna?s] injuries to TMZ.?
?At a minimum, the public is entitled to protection from unprofessional employees whose conduct places people at risk of injury and the government at risk of incurring liability,? Lavin wrote in his ruling.
Although Rebecca?s attorney Ira Salzman accepted the Lavin's decision, he disagreed with the judge?s description of his client as unprofessional, declaring, ?Rebecca Reyes is an outstanding person and was an outstanding officer.?

Here is Rihanna turning heads as she arrived at Balmain’s Paris Fashion Week after-show party.
While earlier in the day brought a very nice olive green leather dress and a quick outfit change to a pleasant fur shawl, it?s apparent that the freaks surely do come out at night (what, what, what). Being a brave girl and doing her thing, Rihanna went ahead and gave attendees of the Balmain after-party a firsthand view at her twins ? and no, we ain?t talkin? bout #dembabies.
This NSFW outfit comes hot on the heels of some equally raunchy numbers, including a slightly bizarre bondage get-up which she shared with her fans earlier
Fashion designer Jeremy Scott posted this photo of a practically topless RiRi posing with DJ Leigh Lezark.

She?s been having a blast making rounds at Paris Fashion Week and Rihanna kicked off her Friday morning (February 28) with yet another runway spectacular.
Sporting more clothing than she did last night, the ?Umbrella? babe looked to be enjoying herself in a red coat over a black dress with black stockings as she sat front row at the Christian Dior Fall 2014 presentation.
Meanwhile, following her guest appearance at Drake?s concert earlier this week, it seems Ri-Ri has also reconnected with her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
An insider told Hollywood Life, ?The two have been sending each other a flurry of texts ever since. Rihanna didn?t write back right away .?.?. but later that night she started getting sentimental and texted back, ?thank you,? and asked how he was. Since then, the two haven?t stopped texting each other!?

These are photos of Rihanna in Beverly Hills on Monday. She’s wearing a body hugging white dress with no bra. This is something we’ve come to expect from RiRi. She often walks around in very sheer tops with no bra underneath. We’ve seen RiRi’s bra rebellion many times, but it is notable as one of the topics that Rihanna discussed during her new interview with Vogue.
We already covered Rihanna’s third Vogue cover that arrived with a budget shoot. The interview is almost as budget but is much more endearing. Rihanna actually seems pretty sweet here. She repeatedly tries to dress the journo up as “Rihanna” and fails miserably. I mean no shade against the journo at all. Rihanna can wear anything — even sweats with heels — and look amazing (if slightly trashy). Most people cannot look hot in sweats, but Rihanna tries valiantly to make it work on the journalist. RiRi also confesses to getting most of her jewelry from Claire’s boutique. I have semi-fond 1980s memories of Claire’s. I got my ears pierced there and gleefully walked out into the mall food court with my dad. Then I passed out. The rest is history, and so is Rihanna’s discussion:
Shirt or bra, not both: “If I?m wearing a top, I don?t wear a bra. If I?m wearing a bra, I just wear a bra.”
Statement jewelry only: “My jewelry?s all fake — from Claire’s. Or I get it from my mom’s boutique in Barbados. Her shop’s called FAB-U-LUS,”
Her notorious selfies: “Instagram is my way of communicating to the world. When I’m on tour, I keep fans in the loop. I don’t really think about it too much. Literally, I can be sitting in a car and be bored, so I do a selfie just because I’m bored. Or if my dog is running around in circles and I think that?s funny, I put it on Instagram. I follow girls from the Middle East. It gives you ideas.”
Her latest weave: “It’s not my hair, but the girl who donated it, she’s the bomb. Black girls never let anyone see this,” she adds, pulling apart the locks at the back of her head to show me the intricate workings of the false hair, which is woven into a net attached to her own. “I have two main hair people I work with. They’re always with me. I’m like, ‘I’m bored! I wanna change my hair!’ That’s the good thing about a weave. You can do whatever with it.”
Abandoning LA for NYC: “I’ve downsized. I want a smaller closet. I want simpler. I want to just take it back to what’s important. When I’m on tour, if I walk out of the hotel to go to Starbucks, it’s like, thousands of fans are walking there with me. It’s a lot. And that’s why I don’t do much on tour. I just hide out in my hotel.”
She loves 4-inch heels: “I can dance in them. It’s not about pain. It’s about the commitment. I say to myself, ‘I want to look like this,’ and worry about the pain later. I’ve had nights I had to tiptoe home and the balls of my feet wouldn?t even allow me to stand.”
Her personal style: “More than anything, I like a jacket. You can do anything with a great jacket, the bigger the better. You can have any silhouette underneath. It gives you an attitude. It makes a gown look cool. I love baggy things. I wear men’s clothes, men’s shoes, oxfords, creepers. When I was thirteen or fourteen, I didn?t want to wear what my mom wanted me to wear. I was very much a boy in my style, my demeanor. All my friends were guys. I loved things that boys did. I loved being easy with my clothes. I loved wearing hats and scarves and snapbacks on my head. It was my way of rebelling. I wanted to dress like my brother. After a while, it was just easier for Mom to dress us both the same. We wore the same jeans, the same T-shirts.”
On her reputation: “I don?t go out of my way to be a rebel or to have that perception, but a lot of the decisions I make, a lot of the direction I want to move, is against the grain, or against society?s tight lane, and I’m aware of that sometimes. It might not be fitting with the norm, but that?s OK for me.”

Rihanna’s statement about following girls from the Middle East makes me wonder if that’s why she thought it was okay to pose hard outside a mosque a few months ago. That was not one of her brighter moments. Here’s the Vogue cover again and some assorted moments from Rihanna’s recent street style. She really can wear almost anything.

There has been widespread controversy over the Russian government?s anti-gay disposition, and Rihanna refuses to stay silent on the matter.
The ?We Found Love? singer Instagrammed a photo in which she?s wearing a P6 hat from the Principle 6 clothing campaign, thus showing her support for the homosexual community.
Principle 6 is a reference to a section of the Olympic Charter that explicitly prohibits any discrimination against athletes. It states, ?The practice of sport is a human right.?
Russia currently has an ?anti-gay propaganda? law that violates the Olympic Charter, though the International Olympic Committee still chose Sochi as the site of the 2014 Winter Games.
