Rihanna’s Steamy ‘Te Amo’ Video Leaks Online

Singer debuted ‘Rockstar 101’ clip earlier this week. By Jayson Rodriguez Rihanna in her ‘Te Amo’ video Photo: Def Jam Rihanna had yet another video premiere this week, joining her “Rockstar 101” clip , as the European version of “Te Amo” debuted. The steamy visual features the Barbadian beauty and French model Laetitia Casta getting close to the Spanglish tune. The video was ripped and loaded onto a German Rihanna fan site on Friday (May 28) and spread among blogs Stateside, giving viewers a peek at the edgier fare. The clip’s soft lighting and red hue give off a “Moulin Rouge” vibe, matching the song’s sexy undertone. “Then she said, ‘Te amo’/ Then she put her hand around my waist,” Rihanna sings over the perky production. “I told her, ‘No’/ She cried, ‘Te amo’/ I told her, ‘I’m not gonna run away’/ But let me go/ My soul has arrived, without asking why/ I said, ‘Te amo’/ Wish somebody would tell me what she said/ Don’t it mean ‘I love you’?” Earlier this week, Rihanna debuted “Rockstar 101,” in which she channeled her inner-Slash, the iconic Guns N’ Roses guitar player. Slash spoke to MTV News after the video premiered and revealed that he was asked to make a cameo in the clip, but his schedule prevented it. “I was supposed to actually be in that video,” he said. “I played on the song, and they called me up to ask me to play in the video, but my record was just coming out, and I was sort of worn thin. She was really sweet. She sent me this pleading text to come do the video, but I couldn’t make it work. I told her that me not being in the video wasn’t going to make or break it.” What do you think about Rihanna’s “Te Amo” video? Let us know in the comments!

Rihanna Rocks Out ‘American Idol’ With New Single ‘Rockstar 101’

Rihanna Rocks Out ‘American Idol’ With New Single ‘Rockstar 101′ By Larry Carroll Rihanna performs on “American Idol” Wednesday Photo: Fox She’s one of the biggest stars in the music industry, and it’s one of the most popular television shows in the world. It’s no surprise, then, that millions eagerly anticipated Rihanna’s much-hyped performance on Wednesday evening’s (April 7) “American Idol.” And by all accounts, the chart-topper delivered. “I told ya, baby,” Rihanna promised as she kicked off her new single “Rockstar 101.” Taking a break from the competitors, “Idol” gave center stage to the black-leather-catsuit-clad singer, whose shoulder pads were nearly as huge as her presence. Surrounded by flames and a video screen displaying rock staples like guitars, lightning bolts and skulls, Rihanna belted out the Rated R track in a half-sung, half-spoken voice. As she slid across the stage and interacted with backup singers, she made sure that her first “American Idol” performance was a memorable one — even picking up a Flying V at one point, although her guitar skills seemed limited to running a finger up one string. “Rocking these diamonds, I’m rocking this chain/ Make sure you get a picture, I’m rocking my fame,” she sang in a song as much about dressing like a rocker as actually being one. “To be what you is, you gotta be what you are/ The only thing I’m missing is a black guitar.” When she wasn’t rocking out, Rihanna was apparently posing for photos backstage with “Idol” host Ryan Seacrest . “Rockstar 101” is the new single from her Rated R album, which the Barbadian singer released last November, debuting at #4 on the Billboard chart.
