Will We See a Grammy Nomination for Rihanna?
December 1, 2008 by Lauren Croteau
The nominees for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards will be announced on December 3rd, but will we be seeing a nomination for Rihanna? After the numerous smash hits that she’s delivered to listening audiences this year, it’s hard to imagine Rihanna coming home without a trophy to put on her mantle.
I don’t expect “Take a Bow” to be among the nominees for Record of the Year, but it may be in the R&B category. It did jump 52 spots, all the way to #1, on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. Though that single did great, her song with T.I., “Live Your Life“, has broken records and has done better than most, if all, the collaborations in 2008, so I think at least, they could be nominated for best R&B collab. At the very least.
I do expect “Disturbia” to be nominated. It has done so well on all the charts, and has been named by many as the “Thriller” of it’s time. I think it could be nominated for Record of the Year simply for how popular it has become. With competition like Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl“, Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida“ and Leona Lewis‘ “Bleeding Love“, it’s hard to say she’ll win with any of her songs, but I’d say she’s got quite a great chance.
So, we’ll see happens! If Rihanna goes home with nothing, I’ll be very, very surprised. What do you think? Does Rihanna have a chance at a Grammy this year?
Rihanna Visits the Ladies of “The View”
July 3, 2008 by Melody
Rihanna sat down with the ladies from The View in Las Vegas on Monday morning. Co-host Sherri Shepherd got right to the point and asked Rihanna what was going on with her and hottie Chris Brown. Rihanna giggled and replied, “We hang out a lot. We’re very close. He’s an amazing person but we are not dating. We’re very close friends, though. Very, very close.”
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg then proceeded to ask what the difference was between dating someone and being a close friend. Rihanna said, “There’s a very big difference. I think you know!”
When asked about her tattoos, Rihanna explained the new one on her left shoulder: “They’re Roman numerals. Me and my best friend got the same thing. It’s her DOB (date of birth) and she has mine.”

July 1, 2008 by Melody
Rihanna shined in yellow at the BET Awards on June 24th where she was nominated for Best Female R&B Artist. She also performed her newest hit “Take a Bow.”
Rihanna definitely stood out in the crowd by dropping her rocker threads for the night and glided down the red carpet with her Giambattista Valli yellow ruffle maxi dress. She does keep with her trend of being bold with the summery bright color and teaming it with a dramatic lavender lip.
Despite walking the red carpet separately, Chris Brown and sat right next to her through out the show, even singing along as she performed. She also sheered him on as he performed his hit “Take You Down” which feature a steamy dance break with mutual friend and R&B starlet Ciara.

Rihanna Gets Up Early for the Early Show…
June 30, 2008 by Melody
Check out candids of Rihanna performing on CBS’ The Early Show on June 20th at the CBS Studios Plaza in New York City. Look closely and you’ll see her new tattoo, it’s on her index finger and it says “shhh…” and I totally need one of those! LOL.
Unfortunately I can’t cosign on her feather skirt and sprt coat look, but you have to give the girl snaps for being daring and different. She is constantly changing her look but keeping it really rocker chic.
Enjoy the pics!
