Rihanna And Drake Set To Heat Up The Grammys

The hitmakers’ first live awards-show performance together should be stylish, sexy affair. By Mawuse Ziegbe Rihanna and Drake Photo: Johnny Nunez/ WireImage Rihanna and Drake will team up to rock the Grammy stage on Sunday night, but while both have stayed mum about the show, if previous performances — and their obvious chemistry — are any indication, these two will likely bring some hip-hop and R&B-tinged heat. In 2010, Rihanna circled the world on her Last Girl on Earth Tour , vamping it up in sharp-shouldered, leg-baring bodysuits and straddling bubblegum-colored tanks. A Rihanna show, however, isn’t always a m

Kim Kardashian Upset About Naked W Photos

‘This is serious porn,’ she says on ‘Kourtney & Kim Take New York.’ By Jocelyn Vena Kim Kardashian on the cover of W Photo: W Last October, Kim Kardashian had everyone drooling over her assets when she appeared nude on the cover of W magazine , leaving basically nothing to the imagination. On Sunday night’s new episode of “Kourtney & Kim Take New York,” months after the cover hit stands, fans saw the reality starlet open up about the shoot — and she was not at all happy about it. “I was naked, but fully covered in silver paint,” she said in the episode about the Mark Seliger photos, according to the Hollywood Reporter . “This artist will put images of architecture and buildings and stuff on top of me so you will see my body shape and the outline, but not actually my boobs or anything.” Talking to her sister, Kim, in tears, added, “I’m more naked here than I was in my Playboy (in 2007). I’m so f—ing mad right now. … She promised I would be covered with artwork . … This is serious porn … you can see nipple.” She added that she was told “nothing would be seen. I feel so taken advantage of. I’ve definitely learned my lesson.” After seeing the photos, Kardashian made a pledge: “I’m never taking my clothes off again, even if it’s for Vogue .” For those who missed the episode, the reality starlet initially cries over the W mag cover before mom-ager Kris Jenner helps her conclude that she’s helping women and that the cover is artful. Despite her claims that she wouldn’t go nude again, even for Anna Wintour, she later jokes that she might — if Vogue calls. While she seemed very upset about the photos, when Kardashian chatted with Ryan Seacrest later on, it seemed that the shock had worn off. “At the end of the day, they are gorgeous photos, and I’m glad I did it, and I love them. But at the time, I was shocked about how they weren’t how I thought they would be,” she noted. What did you think of Kim’s W cover? Sound off below! Related Photos The Evolution Of: Kim Kardashian

Eminem To Appear In Lipton Claymation Super Bowl Ad

Rapper is latest star to appear in Brisk beverage commercials. By Gil Kaufman Eminem Photo: John Shearer/ WireImage The Black Eyed Peas and Justin Bieber may have some additional superstar company on Sunday. Eminem will make an appearance during the Super Bowl in a commercial for Lipton Brisk Iced Tea, the New York Post reported on Monday (January 31). For a reported $1 million payday, Em will be remade into a claymation character in a commercial described by an unnamed insider as “very funny.” While it’s a rare promotional gig for the press-shy Detroit MC, he’s the latest star to appear in the series of stop-motion ads for the beverage, following previous spots starring metal icon Ozzy Osbourne — who is set to co-star with Bieber in a Super Bowl commercial for Best Buy — and go-to tattooed bad man actor Danny Trejo (“Machete”). Spokespersons for Eminem and Brisk parent company Unilever could not be reached for comment at press time about the ad, but it’s certainly expected to be a step up from the joke informercial he did last year to help launch Recovery. The Lipton commercial reportedly showcases a day in the life of Eminem. And after five years of reclusive behavior, Eminem appears poised to come out of his shell a bit more. He recently signed rapper Yelawolf and group Slaughterhouse to his Shady Records label . On the film front, he’s signed to star as a boxer in the drama “Southpaw” and is reportedly in talks to star as an ex-con in the movie “Random Acts of Violence.” Eminem’s also slated to perform at the Grammy Awards on February 13, where he’s got a leading 10 nominations, including the coveted Album of the Year for his comeback effort, Recovery. The rapper appears in a touching 30-second spot that promotes the awards show and showcases his legacy , from the loss of friend and fellow MC Proof to his struggles through drug dependency and his rise back to the top of the hip-hop game.
