Rihanna Performs In First Concert Since Chris Brown Assault
Rihanna made her live return in London last night - her first full concert since she was assaulted by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in February.
The singer debuted tracks from her forthcoming album ‘Rated R’, including ‘Wait Your Turn’ and ‘Hard’, and was joined on stage byJay-Z for 'Run This Town' and ‘Umbrella’.
The 45-minute show at the 02 Academy Brixton was attended by music industry guests and competition winners, but also broadcast live across the internet on the Nokia website. A guest at the concert told BANG Showbiz:
“She may have been away for nine months, but she has certainly not lost anything when it comes to her voice. She sounded incredible, hit every note and completely owned the stage.
“She also had two backing dancers dressed in hijabs. She pulled off some very sexy moves – she even grabbed a mannequin’s crotch at one point!”
Nokia is posting the concert on their website today. If you missed it, be sure to check back later on in the afternoon to check out the footage.

Rihanna DOES Sing About Chris Brown Assault On New Album
We heard a few rumors that Rihanna was considering releasing a song about how she was assaulted by Chris Brown on her new album. Today, the singer has confirmed that ‘Cold Case Love’ is actually about how she was attacked. It was written not long after the incident in February.
“It was one of the first songs I did for the album and it is one of the most emotional."
Rihanna, 21, has also revealed she was desperate to get back into the recording studio after the assault, so she could concentrate on her career rather than what had happened to her.
"When I was given time off in March it was a little crazy. Being at home was driving me mad.
"I couldn't go anywhere. It was, like, 'Look at the poor victim!' So I called my label and said, 'I'm ready.’ ”
The album releases on November 26. Want to read the lyics to Cold Case Love? Click on the continue reading link below.
Love It Or Hate It: Rihanna And Claudia Schiffer
It's a bonus edition of Love It Or Hate It! Rihanna is pictured outside of Skyrock Radio in Paris, France where she made an appearance to promote her new album, 'Russian Roulette.' She's got some really interesting pieces paired together here. What about that sunflower-looking piece on the jacket?
Claudia Schiffer was in Madrid promoting the new fragance of Alberta Ferretti at El Corte Ingles. She wore a daring multi-color dress. It looks to be varying in textures, as well.
What do you think? Hit or miss?

Rihanna Isn't Afraid Of Carbs
Rihanna demands pizza, fries and donuts in her dressing room.
MY KIND OF GIRL!!!
The slender ‘Umbrella’ singer is set to perform in London next week and amazed organizers with her requests for her favorite treats, which totaled more than 7,000 calories, and also included chips, microwave lasagnas, fried noodles, chicken drumsticks – and an apple.
AND AN APPLE! I LOVE THAT!!! LOL!
A show source said:
“When it comes to the big US stars, we’re used to getting ridiculously healthy requests. Rihanna was a breath of fresh air. There was none of this carb and gluten-free nonsense.”
The 21-year-old-star – who will launch her new album ‘Rated R’ at the concert next Monday, which will be streamed around the world – refuses to watch her diet because she believes performing helps her stop piling on the pounds.
“Being on tour gets you in shape which is good considering how I eat pretty much whatever I can get my hands on.
“You perform for an hour and a half so you can work some of it off at least. But not all of it!”
I want to believe this... but I can't. There is no way Rihanna eats like that everyday right? RIGHT? I have a can of soda and gain a pound.

Rihanna Makes A Quick Change After The Glamour WOTY Awards
If this isn't a dress that needs double sided tape... then I don't know one that does. LOOK at Rihanna trying to avoid exposure while getting out of the car and walking back to her NYC hotel. The singer made a quick change after attending the 2009 Glamour Women of the Year Awards and then headed straight to the after party.
I'm sure this dress was just stunning when Rihanna tried it on in front of a mirror...indoors... without any motion or wind. But unless she wanted to show off her bikini line to the crowd, I'm not so sure it was the best selection.
In other Rihanna news, here's the video of her 'It's On With Alexa Chung' appearance from yesterday.
And here she is talking to Sway about domestic abuse.

Here's Rihanna arriving to the Glamour Women of the Year Awards held at Carnegie Hall in New York City last night. The singer was honored with the “The Back-On-Top Superstar” award while wearing this floor length... piece of art. It is so much more than a dress, don't you think?!
What do you think about her look? Something you would wear? Did it work on Rihanna?
And here is her acceptance speech.
