Unapologetic? Rih-Rih Leaves Chicago High Schoolers Waiting For More Than 4 HOURS At Charity Event!

C’mon now Robyn WTF?! Rihanna Left Chicago High School Students Waiting Over 4 Hours For Appearance Via ChicagoTribune Rihanna, clearly, does not make excuses. The Barbadian superstar barely acknowledged her tardiness when took the stage at Barrington High School moments ago – despite being more than four hours and 30 minutes late for her much-anticipated visit. Her fans, nearly despondent minutes earlier, greeted her with wild applause and Beatlemania-type screaming. “Thank you guys for coming and waiting,” the Barbadian signer said, before paying tribute to the school’s charitable works. Oh beyotch please! Damn near 5 hours late??? You better come up with something better than THAT bullisht! Sixteen minutes and roughly a dozen smiling pictures later, RiRi was gone and her late arrival forgotten by a starstruck crowd. It was hard to believe that only minutes earlier she was the cause of quite possibly the most angst-ridden moment in Barrington High School history. The overwhelmingly female crowd had been patient in waiting for hours for her arrival after the school won a visit from the star. Teens have been chatting on their phones, grabbing snacks and braiding each other’s hair. Many have been at the school since the doors opened at noon. Rihanna was originally supposed to start her visit at 1 p.m.; on Thursday evening, the school announced that had been pushed back to 2 p.m. As of 5 p.m., she still wasn’t at the school. “It’s one thing to be fashionably late. This is just rude. Our lives don’t revolve around a pop star,” said junior Patricia Halle, who nicknamed the afternoon “the survive Rihanna event.” “Our school worked hard to win this. She should be more respectful,” Halle said. One seventh-grader in particular was not shy about her irritation with Chris’ breezy. Jaki Mora said: “Rihanna is pathetic. She shouldn’t be making us wait for her.” Right on sista! Rihanna posted this pic to her Instagram page at 4:22pm. To that we say ph**k yo’ traffic! You’re already 2 1/2 hours late! Apparently Rih-Rih brought more tickets to give out for her Chicago show that evening to make up for her egregious tardiness. Way to be an example for the kids Rih, make a mistake, bribe folks to forgive you.

Robyn, Robyn, Robyn, think about the kids… Via E! News Are rugrats in Rihanna’s future? While chatting it up with Ellen DeGeneres on her show (airing today), the singer was asked if she might want kids someday. “Yes, eventually. I mean, absolutely,” Rihanna said. “Would you do it alone or do you want to wait until you’re in a relationship or married?” DeGeneres inquired. “I mean, I would prefer to have a full family,” the Barbadian beauty replied, adding: “I’m pretty sure I could handle it if I had to on my own, but that’s not what I’m striving for.” And while Rihanna confirmed there’s no potential baby daddy at the moment, she did share with DeGeneres what her perfect date would be. “My favorite thing to do would just be to stay on the couch and watch TV or in bed and watch TV,” Rihanna revealed. What do you think about Rihanna’s comments? Could she be leaving the door open for her younger fans to interpret marriage as an option?

Rihanna: More Concerned For Chris Brown Than Herself After Attack

In her much-anticipated sit-down with Oprah , Rihanna was asked some tough questions about Chris Brown, and answered them all with tearful honesty. Chris brutally assaulted his then-girlfriend in February 2009 after a huge argument, an altercation that injured her deeply in ways both physical and mental. Still, she said what she felt most was sympathy towards him. “It was a weird, confusing space to be in,” Rihanna recalled.

Pop star is in goddess mode in snippet from upcoming video, which band teased during Canadian tour stop. By John Mitchell Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Rihanna Photo: Getty Images Coldplay teased the upcoming video for their latest Mylo Xyloto single, “Princess of China,” during a tour stop in Edmonton, Canada, giving concertgoers their first look at Rihanna rocking the look she tweeted about from the video’s set in March. During the band’s performance of the song, the Barbadian pop diva appeared on an overhead video in full-on goddess mode with multiple sets of hands fanning out behind her and moving to the beat of the song. The guys of Coldplay are big fans of the “We Found Love” singer and told MTV News last year that they were excited to work with her because it was an opportunity to cross genres. “Her bit on our record is my favorite bit,” frontman Chris Martin told MTV News in September. “When the song came out, it sort of asked for her to be on it. And I think at this point, we have nothing to lose, and so we’ve been trying some new things and trying to break down the perceived boundaries between different types of music.” Coldplay have not yet announced when the full “Princess of China” video will premiere. Rihanna, who is also featured in Drake’s “Take Care” video , is readying her own clip for her new single “Where Have You Been.” She hasn’t said when the video will debut, but she posted some sexy stills from the clip to her Facebook earlier this week.

New Dad Jay-Z Is Deeply Disappointed In RihRih For Reuniting With Breezy

See what happens when Big Brother is not watching! According to RadarOnline reports : With Chris Brown and Rihanna collaborating on duets together and secretly hooking up, the Barbadian beauty’s mentor, and very close friend, Jay-Z, is extremely upset that she is spending time with the man who left her badly beaten three years ago, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. As we previously reported, despite Chris dating wanna-be model, Karrueche Tran, the Grammy Award winner has been having secret rendezvous with RiRi. Tran knows that her boyfriend is straying because she doesn’t question him about it and knows that if she did, the relationship would probably end. In the days after the horrific beating Rihanna endured by her then boyfriend, she sought refuge and advice with her long-time mentor, Jay-Z. “Jay was absolutely disgusted by what Chris did to Rihanna. Jay doesn’t understand how a man could ever lay hands on a woman; it just goes against who he is and about. Chris is absolutely dead to Jay, he wants nothing to do with him ever. Now that Rihanna is hooking up with Chris and recording songs with him, Jay is deeply disappointed in her actions. He can’t fathom why Rihanna is doing the things she is doing. He understands the need for forgiveness, but he is adamant that Rihanna shouldn’t forget what Chris did to her. Jay wonders what kind of message this is sending to Rihanna’s young female fans. Rihanna knows how Jay feels about Chris, but she doesn’t care, she is going to do what she wants,” a source close to the situation tells us. Brown and RiRi have released two songs, which features both of them — her song Birthday Cake and his Turn Up the Music. Brown’s first line in Birthday Cake? “Girl I wanna f*** you right now. Been a long time, I’ve been missing your body,” the R&B hit-maker sings. Now that Jay-Z is a proud daddy to daughter, Blue Ivy, with wife Beyoncé, “he is even more protective of the women in his life. Jay has told Rihanna he will never give his blessing for what she is doing with Chris. He has told her, this isn’t going to end well, it never does. In Jay’s opinion, Chris has rage issues that he doesn’t think have been dealt with,” the insider says. Hov, too busy babysitting and not keeping your artist in check! More On Bossip! Smackdown!

Avril Lavigne ‘Excited’ That Rihanna Sampled Her Song

‘She’s a really great singer, so yeah I was excited,’ Lavigne says of Rihanna sampling ‘I’m With You’ for ‘Cheers (Drink to That).’ By James Dinh Avril Lavigne Photo: Frederick M. Brown/ Getty Images During “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” special, Avril Lavigne will unveil her brand-new single “What the Hell.” However, before she debuts any new music, fans can listen to the Canadian singer’s signature yodel from her 2002 hit “I’m With You” on Rihanna’s new drinking anthem, “Cheers (Drink to That).” In a Q&A session with Entertainment Weekly, Lavigne spoke about the celebratory party track, admitting that that the Barbadian songstress has some great vocal chops. “It was really exciting because ‘I’m With You’ is one of my favorite songs that I’ve done, I always love performing it,” the punky popster admitted. “And I think Rihanna’s awesome, she has great songs, she’s a really great singer, so yeah I was excited. I think it’s really cool.” When MTV News spoke to Rihanna about “Cheers (Drink to That)” in November, the red-headed star told us that the cut is one of her favorites off her latest release, Loud . “I love that song,” she gushed. “That is one of my favorite songs on the album. It makes you feel like celebrating. It gives you a great feeling inside like you want to go out and have a drink. … People can’t wait for the weekend.” When asked why the she didn’t just ask Lavigne to come into the studio to re-record the song’s signature yodel, Rihanna explained, “I asked the same thing, but when I heard the track, it was already embedded in the music, so the producers already had it that way.” As for Avril’s own celebratory music, the 26-year-old singer/songwriter described her new single as “more pop and uptempo and kind of reminiscent of my old stuff.” The songstress also confessed that her next album, Goodbye Lullaby – due in stores March 8 – will be “more stripped and raw and a little deeper.” What do you think of the Avril-sampled “Cheers (Drink to That)”?

Ke$ha Says It’s ‘Cool’ Being Compared To Rihanna, Katy Perry

‘Out of that group of chicks, I’m the new bitch on the block,’ singer tells Complex magazine. By James Dinh Ke$ha on the December 2010 issue of Complex Photo: Complex Pop-star rivalry has been around for years. Whether it was Britney vs. Christina or Mariah vs. Whitney, there’s always been an underlying competition between your favorite female pop singers. But don’t expect any animosity between today’s stars, at least not from Ke$ha . The wilding-out singer, who’s the latest Complex cover girl, spoke with the magazine about her pop-star peers, including Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. “I actually think that’s cool,” the singer said of the female stars she’s being compared to. “Out of that group of chicks, I’m the new bitch on the block, so I’m still getting used to being compared to some of the biggest pop stars in the world, but I don’t take any offense to it. That just means people know my records.” Earlier this year, Ke$ha teamed up with Rihanna for the Barbadian bombshell’s girl-power trek, the Last Girl on Earth Tour. Despite the duo’s pairing, the blogosphere went into a fury when Rihanna recently revealed that she “didn’t want the generic pop record that Ke$ha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry could do.” The party-loving pop star admitted that she hadn’t even read the quote, suggesting that the media may have taken Rih’s comments out of context. “I’m so used to the media flipping my words around that I’m sure she meant absolutely no offense to me or Katy or Gaga,” said the singer. “Rihanna and me are totally cool, we were just on tour together, and I know that she and Katy are good friends. I don’t take any offense because I’m sure it’s bullsh– anyway.” Based on the garbage-bag ensemble she work to this year’s MTV Video Music Awards , it seems that Ke$ha could care less about other people’s opinions. “I was trying to look super-hot,” she said. “I like to poke fun at when people make fun of me, because I don’t take myself that seriously. People say I’m ‘garbage chic,’ so I thought I’d take it to the next level and make a garbage bag super f—ing chic — and I succeeded!” As for now, the singer is focusing on her recently released Cannibal, a companion album to her debut, Animal.

Rihanna Looking To Re-Create ‘Lie’ Magic On Next Album

‘Love the Way You Lie’ producer Alex Da Kid is working on Rated R follow-up. By Jocelyn Vena Rihanna Photo: Michael Tran/ FilmMagic Rihanna has found a winning formula in her Eminem collaboration, “Love the Way You Lie.” Naturally, for her next album, she’s reportedly looking to the song’s producer, Alex Da Kid, for new hits. “We worked together about a year before ‘Love the Way You Lie’ in London, and obviously that song has helped the people around her and her label say, ‘Oh, that’s a big hit, we want another one,’ ” Alex explained to Billboard. “You know how the music industry is.” The “Lie” producer — who also produced B.o.B’s “Airplanes” — said that the key to Rihanna’s future success is all about finding the balance between Rated R edginess and the hit-making sound of the Eminem track. “I’d say it’s like a mixture of her two sides,” he said. “It’s commercial, but at the same time, it’s got an edge to it — it has substance.” Alex Da Kid isn’t the only producer coming onboard for the album. Songwriter Sean Garrett has been in the studio with the Barbadian star and recently told MTV News that the new songs will reflect Rihanna’s current, lighter state-of-mind. “I can definitely say that her album is definitely gonna be way more exciting, happy,” Garrett said. “I hope she doesn’t mind me saying this. I love Rihanna. She’s fun, she’s like a sister, and I tend to think she doesn’t really take herself too seriously. And I think that’s what this album is gonna be about.” The album will earn fans in the clubs too, if David Guetta has his way with it. “Well, you know, I’m a DJ, so I make beats that make you want to dance,” Guetta told MTV News. “And I think she was one of the first to do that in that urban world, so you know, I think it would be good for her to do it again.” What kind of music do you want to see Rihanna do next?
