Rihanna

With her tiny waist and shapely legs Rihanna is not exactly a prime candidate for airbrushing.

But look at the front cover of July’s Elle magazine and it certainly seems as if she has been digitally enhanced.

The singer appears even smaller than usual in a shoot for the glossy for a feature in which she discusses her new look and her new man.

Compare the cover with a picture of her on stage in Madrid this weekend and it’s hard not to see the difference.

Although she looks great in the shot on stage at the Rock in Rio festival, she is clearly wider around the waist and hips.

Airbrushing of celebrities has become increasingly controversial over the years with critics saying it creates an unrealistic image of women.

In April this year Britney Spears released two sets of photos from a shoot for fashion firm Candies’ to show the dramatic difference.

The 29-year-old released the pictures to show the enhancement that takes place.

The pop singer is currently performing around Europe as part of her Last Girl On Earth tour, her latest stop taking in Arnhem in the Netherlands.

Rihanna, 22, set the stage alight at the Gelredome with a huge array of outfits, set pieces and special effects… and of course, her chart-topping songs. The Umbrella singer dazzled fans on the European leg of her tour in Belgium and the Netherlands with a series of sexy, wacky and downright strange outfits.

Rihanna’s last relationship ended in tears – and five-years of probation for her ex Chris Brown.

But ten months on it seems Rihanna has found happiness once again, after falling for baseball hunk Matt Kemp.

The singer is currently enjoying a new year break with the 25-year-old LA Dodgers star in Mexico.

The new couple have been spotted cavorting in a hot tub, kissing and embracing as they relax together.

And with Kemp’s hands placed possessively on Rihanna’s behind, it seems they are getting along well.

The pop star was seen struggling into a limo while leaving an after-party held at Mahiki nightclub in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Her mini-dress proved that bit too short, her fashionable shoe-boots that bit too high, resulting in an altogether calamitous scene.

The 21-year-old gave a glimpse of her dimpled upper thighs – confirming that even the most glamorous of stars have a bad angle – and then seconds later flashed her nude underwear.

At one point she even ended up horizontal in the back seat of the car before eventually regaining her cool composure.

Rihanna had been partying at the celebrity haunt with her music mentor Jay-Z, who had earlier made a guest appearance with her on stage, and his wife Beyonce, who had come straight from a performance of her own at the O2 Arena.

It was the second night out in a row for the power couple, who were spotted at Whiskey Mist just 24 hours earlier.

Rihanna is never short of ideas to stay ahead of the fashion pack, as she proved once again yesterday.

The singer was spotted out and about in New York sporting a knuckle duster-style ring which linked across the four fingers on her right hand.

Rihanna, 21, was bang on trend in a soldier-inspired hat and boots which she teamed with black leggings and top and a striped jacket.

The R’n'B star is preparing to showcase some tracks from the forthcoming Rated R next week – the singer’s fourth studio album.

She will sing the new songs exclusively to a Nokia audience via a globally streamed live performance on November 16 at a secret London venue.

Rated R is set for release on November 23 and with her scheduled appearance on The X Factor the day before she is sure to get a huge sales boost.

Rihanna has revealed how she is beyond excitement about appearing on the hugely popular ITV show.

Singer Rihanna who won the Woman Of The Year trophy at the star-studded Glamour magazine bash, went for a more feminine look in an ivory satin Stephane Rolland gown.

She admitted it was far too tight and impractical, but she obviously wanted something special to cap a momentous year.

The 21-year-old was being honoured by the U.S. edition of the women’s magazine for her career, fashion sense, charity work and her bravery following her assault by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

In a candid interview with U.S. Glamour magazine, the singer reveals her true feelings about the media maelstrom she found herself in after news of the shocking incident became public knowledge.

‘I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears,’ the 21-year-old singer said.

‘That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day.’

The Umbrella singer was assaulted by the R’n'B star – her boyfriend at the time – after a pre-Grammys party in February.

A picture of her bruised and battered face released on the internet showed the horror of the beating, and shocked the world.

Rihanna’s day in court has arrived.

Subpoenaed by prosecutors, the singer, 21, is required to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom for a hearing Monday in which he’s expected to testify against Chris Brown, 20.

Emotions will likely run high as Rihanna relives the events of Feb. 8 when she was allegedly bruised and bloodied by Brown, who is required to attend the hearing and will be seated just feet away from the witness stand. Cameras won’t be allowed in the courtroom.

“Prosecutors wouldn’t bring her in to testify if they didn’t think she was going to be a solid witness,” says L.A. criminal defense attorney Steve Sitkoff, who’s not involved with the case. “If Rihanna was going to change her story out of fear or to protect Brown, it generally would’ve happened by now.”

Rihanna, whose attorney Donald Etra has insisted she will comply and tell the truth, will also be subject to cross-examination by Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos.

“I expect Geragos will go easy on her under cross-examination,” says L.A. criminal defense attorney Jeffery Rubenstein, who’s also not involved with the case. “No lawyer wants to be seen as victimizing a victim twice. But if he does play hardball, he’ll do whatever he can to chip away at her credibility.”

Experts say her performance at the hearing – held to determine if there’s enough evidence for a trial against Brown – can make or break the case.

If she comes across as a reliable witness, it could pressure Brown to accept a plea deal with some jail time, thus avoiding a trial. If she seems untruthful and prosecutors fail to present a case, Geragos could seek to reduce Brown’s two felony charges or have them dismissed on the spot.

Not letting a little rainy weather ruin her fierce style, Rihanna was spotted making her way back to her hotel in New York City on Thursday evening.

Wearing a leopard print coat and high boots to keep dry, the Barbadian beauty eased her way past paparazzi following the day’s Big Apple outing.
