Rihanna definitely looks great in that ALL-BLACK look. She was in Sydney, Australia promoting her movie 'Battleship.' Seriously people, you cannot go wrong with wearing all black. Just make sure your all-black attire is fun-looking, fitted, or flowy. You definitely don't want to dress like you just got out of a funeral.
Also positive notes on Rihanna's side-swept black hair, bold red lipstick, and just-right makeup. Simple yet sophisicated and sexy.
You know that saying, "That RIHANNA reign just won't let up?" Well, it isn't, actually. Manager Jay-Z has reportedly been in talks with Rihanna about slowing down just a tad, yet she continues to work her behind off, traveling the world despite her recent bout with bronchitis, photo shoots, studio time, concert performances, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!
That can be EXCRUCIATING for anyone to handle; hope she can handle it.
Right now, Rihanna is in Australia to finish up her "Last Girl On Earth" tour since it was postponed last year. while she was there, she inked a deal to become NIVEA's (Body Products) new spokesperson for "100 Years Skincare For Life Campaign." In the NIVEA photo shoot, she showed as much skin as possible, with no makeup, to show a still BEAUTIFUL look.
“Over the past 100 years, NIVEA has been an iconic skincare brand across the world that is built on the trust of our consumers. We are excited to have Rihanna supporting us in our celebration and building a new generation of fans.”-NIVEA

(A day later...)
Here, Rihanna was shopping in Australia (now with long, flaming red hair) for panties *smirk*.
For a special evening, Hip Hop King/ Avid businessman JAY-Z was featured as a guest on the "Oprah Winfrey Show," which was filmed at the Sydney Opera House (Australia). whenever these two people meet, it's always a "must-watch" (If you missed the episode, just visit http://oprah.com/ ).
If you wanted to know why Oprah was so far away, she was filming an special "Australian Outback Adventure" for her show. This project is a tie-in with Winfrey's soon-coming network, Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).
But BOTTOM LINE folks, check out Jay-Z's sneakers; I saw this on UpscaleHype. He always likes to keep it classy and understated...what can I say.... LESS IS CERTAINLY MORE. The sneakers were by Balenciaga for $525. See close-up below...
Russell Ira Crowe was born in Wellington, New Zealand April 7th, 1964. Naturalized Australian known for being an actor and a musician. His acting career began in the early 1990s with roles in Australian TV. Russell is the son of Jocelyn Yvonne (née Wemyss) and John Alexander Crowe, both of whom were movie set caterers; his father also managed a hotel. Crowe's maternal grandfather, Stan Wemyss, was a cinematographer who was named an MBE for filming footage of World War II. Crowe's maternal great-great-grandmother was Maori, and his paternal grandfather was from Wrexham, Wales; Russell also has Scottish, Norwegian, English and Irish ancestry in his blood line. In his early years Russell returned to Australia at age 21, intending to apply to the National Institute of Dramatic Art. "I was working in a theatre show, and talked to a guy who was then the head of technical support at NIDA," Crowe recalls. "I asked him what he thought about me spending three years at NIDA. He told me it'd be a waste of time. He said, 'You already do the things you go there to learn, and you've been doing it for most of your life, so there's nothing to teach you but bad habits." In 1987 Crowe spent a six-month stint as a busker when he couldn't find other work. Of course there is the business of the kidnapping. On 9 March 2005, Crowe revealed to GQ magazine that the FBI agents had approached him prior to the 73rd Academy Awards March 25 2001 and told him that the Islamist terrorist group al-Qaeda wanted to kidnap him. Crowe told the magazine that it was the first time he had ever heard of al-Qaeda and was quoted as saying: "You get this late-night call from the FBI when you arrive in Los Angeles, and they're, like, absolutely full-on. 'We’ve got to talk to you now before you do anything. We have to have a discussion with you, Mr Crowe.'" Crowe recalled that "it was something to do with some recording picked up by a French policewoman, I think, in either Libya or Algiers...it was about taking iconographic Americans out of the picture as a sort of cultural-destabilisation plan" Crowe had a relationship with Meg Ryan during and after the filming of Proof Of Life in 2000! Can you believe it? I can't stand Meg Ryan that much and Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan do not seem like they would be a very good match. Which turned out that they indeed were not. Because on April 7th, 2003 his 39th birthday, Crowe married Australian singer and actress Danielle Spencer. Crowe met Spencer while filming The Crossing in1990. Crowe and Spencer have two sons: Charles "Charlie" Spencer born December 21st, 2003 and Tennyson Spencer born 7 July 7th 2006. Prior to his marriage to Spencer, Crowe had a relationship with Meg Ryan during and after the filming of Proof Of Life in 2000. I thought this was interesting... Crowe stated in November 2007 that he would like to be baptized, and feels that he has put it off for too long. Russell states "I do believe there are more important things than what is in the mind of a man," he says. "There is something much bigger that drives us all. I'm willing to take that leap of faith." My favorite films include L.A. Confidential, Virtuosity and Gladiator of course. I'm not even into the whole Ancient Rome kill or be killed movies but Russell did the trick for me in Gladiator. Same deal with the Robin Hood movies. I've seen so many! How could this one possibly any different than all the other movies. Same old story. Oh well maybe Russell can pull off the Robin character in this movie like he did for Gladiator. I've been hearing all about the controversy on whether Russell Crowe has an Irish accent during the new film "Robin Hood". Does he have the Northern English accent he is supposed to during this film? I for one don't know because I refuse to watch previews. So I won't find out untill it comes out on DVD. Anyways, here is the full audio, when he walked out of the interview with BBC's Mark Lawson.
