Oh Friday, the “Where Have You Been” singer ditched her clothes (and new dreads) during a photo shoot for a new fragrance called Nude. Rihanna’s pal, Melissa Forde, posted a few behind the scenes snapshots on her Instagram in which RiRi, 24, is seen flaunting her curves and posing provocatively.

The day before, Rihanna tweeted about her big shoot. She wrote:

I got a big shoot tomorrow for a surprise fragrance for my ladies called… NUDE! Bye bye dreadz, for now!

Of course, this was not the first time Rihanna stripped down for a sexy shoot. Click through the gallery to see more of her topless moments!

Celebuzz caught up with Jeannie Mai, who has dished out her expertise on show’s such as NBC’s Fashion Star and most recently Style Network’s Fashion Mob, and got her thoughts on their (many) barely-there outfits.

So, does Jeannie think they’re committing fashion crimes by flaunting so much skin?

Not at all!

The 19-year-old “Can’t Be Tamed” singer isn’t shy when it comes to showing off not only cleavage, but side boob as well, and Jeannie told us:

“I say you have to dress for the occasion. It has to be appropriate. I don’t think you need to see more than you have to. [Personally] I want to be respectful.”

When it comes to 24-year-old RiRi’s personal style, Jeannie dished:

“Whether she’s running errands or swimming in Barabados, that’s different. Let her be her. She’s a performer, and she’s an artist, that’s very different from a fashion expert. We have different rules. So I like her to celebrate her style, but I do think your privates should be just that.”

On Wednesday night, Rihanna donned a skimpy black outfit as she performed on the American Idol finale. Watch the video below!

Do you agree with Jeannie? Or do you think these ladies should cover up? Play fashion critic in the comments, and be sure to tune into Jeannie’s Style show, Fashion Mob, when it premiere on Monday May 28 at 8PM.

But it was Rihanna‘s performance that may have stole the show, respectively. The Barbados beauty, 24, sang her dance hit “Where Have You Been” flawlessly as she strutted around the stage in a very risque, leg-baring black costume. Showing of her new dread lock hairstyle, the singer was able to perform high-energy (and certainly sexy) dance moves, all the while landing her notes.

As we all know by now, Rihanna seems to be most comfortable when she’s wearing very little. This is evident in the above gallery of some of her sexiest and wildest outfits. For a closer look at RiRi’s bra and tasseled skirt-combo from Idol, click below.

On Wednesday, the “Where Have You Been” singer tweeted a pic of her new ‘do. Emulating the Jamaican music icon’s black dreadlocks, Rihanna, 24, wrote on her Twitter:

“Wake bake shake dem dreads”

What do you think of Rihanna’s new dreadlocks? Sound off in the comments, below.

While women were burning their bras in the ’70s, today, the women of Hollywood are just choosing to walk out without them.

From Jennifer Aniston to  Miley Cyrus to Rihanna, a slew of style-savvy ladies have channeled their free spirits with their decision not to put on the restrictive undergarment.

What do you think: Braless and flawless, or baring too much?

Sound off in the comments, and then click the pics!

The summer months are approaching and these Hollywood hotties have decided to turn up the heat with this latest trend.

Miley, in particular is definitely succumbing to the mantra, “If you got it, flaunt it!” This is evident in the gallery below:

Most recently, Kim Kardashian stepped out donning a cropped black wig for an Vogue Italia photo shoot. Looking like her mom, Kris Jenner, the reality star, 31, looked pretty sexy with the shorter ‘do.

In Hollywood, stars are always changing their locks. Whether it’s for a movie role or just for fun, celebs like Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry are famous for their wigs!

While donning her sexy wig, Kardashian and her new beau Kanye West were not afraid to show some PDA on the set of Kim’s photo shoot for Vogue Italia in Los Angeles.

The reality starlet stole a kiss with Kanye in between snaps, but this isn’t the only public display of affection we’ve seen from Kimye and we’re confident it won’t be the last.

]]> The two movies hitting theaters this weekend couldn’t be more different, but they do have one thing in common — Brooklyn Decker!

That’s right, the 25-year-old model turned actress has the distinct honor of having two different films hit theaters on the same day, one hilarious rom-com and the other an action-packed blockbuster. First up for Ms. Decker, we have Battleship, based on the classic board game, which also stars Friday Night Lights‘ Taylor Kitsch, True Blood hunk Alexander Skarsgard, and “S & M”  singer Rihanna. The film is all about an alien attack on the high seas, and is one of summer’s first big flicks to be released.

In contrast, Brooklyn’s other film hitting theaters couldn’t be any more different.

Based on the book of the same name, What to Expect When You’re Expecting boasts an all-star cast of Hollywood heavy hitters, whose characters are all having babies one way or another. From Cameron Diaz to Jennifer Lopez, there is no shortage of stars in this movie.

Celebuzz even caught up with one of the film’s stars, Elizabeth Banks, at the junket where we talked about her hilarious role in the film. Watch below!

Also in theaters is Sacha Baron Cohen‘s The Dictator, which is definitely not doing as well as projected.

So, which movie is calling your name? Let your voice be heard by voting in the poll!

Topping the list, we have a country rendition of Robyn’s hit dance track, an American Idol contestant who brought the house down with a Mary J. Blige hit, Paramore‘s Haley Williams covering Gotye and Glee guy Mark Salling doing a “Mean” Taylor Swift number.

Take a listen to our top five picks and drop us a comment to let us know which cover you loved the most!

This video has been making the rounds and for good reason.

New York City native and country crooner Trisha Ivy did an interesting take on Swedish singer Robyn‘s hit song “Dancing On My Own.” One listen (video is a little dark) and you’ll be asking yourself: Was this track actually meant to be a country song?

On this week’s American Idol, contestant Joshua Ledet wow’d the crowd with the Mary J. Blige hit “No More Drama.” Take a look:

This week, Paramore’s leading lady Haley Williams joined the band Fun at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge where they did a cover of Gotye’s catchy song “Somebody That I Used to Know.” Check it out here:

On the latest episode of Glee, Mark Salling’s character Puck performed Taylor Swift’s “Mean,” with the help of Dot Marie Jones, aka Coach Beiste. Watch:

YouTube performer, Eric Stanley, did an amazing violin rendition of  Rihanna‘s “Where Have You Been,” from the album Talk That Talk. Take a look:

Celebuzz highlighted the 24-year-old Battleship star’s ensemble, even questioning whether she went a little too far.

Well, you have spoken — and so has Rihanna!

The “Rude Boy” diva lived up to her Rated R reputation with a fiery response on Twitter that left little to the imagination. (Warning: Link NSFW)

Even superstar Cher is weighing in on the controversy; she posted a tweet Friday defending Rihanna. The 65-year-old wrote:

Rihanna is Gorgeous&Major Talent!Who cares About clothes

We asked what you thought too via our Yay or Nay poll and it’s clear our readers are also Team Rihanna too!

magic: love this!

Joanna: This outfit is not bad…CB ya’ll are being very extra! I honestly think that Rihanna looked nice!

Sunday night, one of the biggest nights in music returns and we can’t wait to see what Billboard’s awards show has in store for us this year. As you may recall, last year Britney and Rihanna kissed while performing “S&M.”

Being held at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV and airing on ABC, the 2012 show boasts acts including Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Lil Wayne and of course, Rihanna!

Seeing as the Billboard Awards are this weekend, and it’s Flashback Friday…

We thought it fun to have a jog down memory lane and recall all the fun style statements these musicians have attempted through the years. Check out the fashion tops and, yes, flops in our gallery.

Then, let us know: Who’s gotten better with age, style-wise, and who should revert back to their former fashion choices?

And here’s a bonus! Check out Mr. JT performing “Cry Me a River” at the 2003 Billboard Music Awards below:

The sexy shots, taken by RiRi’s BFF Melissa Forde, is set to appear in the mag’s June issue. According to Esquire, the racy pics were snapped at a studio in Dalston, East London back in February when the “We Found Love” crooner was a blonde.

However, Rihanna’s freshly-released photos aren’t the only topless pics to hit the web this week!

Recently, the singer shared behind-the-scenes shots from her “Where Have You Been” video shoot. In the photos, a topless Rihanna is seen in the makeup chair as artists paint on reptilian scales all over her body.

The end of another week means another episode of the One Minute Buzz!

Celebuzz is serving up a weekly wrap up of the biggest celebrity news stories (in about 60 seconds). This week, Rihanna went reptilian while shooting her new video, Lady Gaga got a new meat dress, and there’s a new celebrity daddy in town.

Not only did Chris Hemsworth welcome a new baby girl, he showed her off to the world — well, sort of!

While on a walk with his daughter, he kept her covered in a blanket.

Elsewhere in London, Kristen Stewart gave Celebuzz the lowdown on working with boyfriend Robert Pattinson on a new project.

How does she feel about sharing the screen with him again? Watch the video to find out!

On Thursday, the “What’s My Name?” beauty was seen leaving Los Angeles’ famed Giorgio Baldi restaurant in a revealing two-piece crochet ensemble, that showed off her tattooed-up midriff.

What else did she wear?

To complete the look, Rihanna donned a strapless top and a pair of heels.

Granted, Rihanna — who has been showing off a lot of skin lately (see below) deserved a fun night out on the town; she’s been busy traveling all over the world to promote her new movie, Battleship, in theaters today. But we’re not sure if this outfit quite cuts it.

The IPO makes Facebook’s 28-year-old creator Mark Zuckerberg the 29th richest person on Earth with his stake in the company worth a reported $19.1 billion.

But the Harvard graduate, who was played by Jesse Eisenberg in Aaron Sorkin‘s box office hit The Social Network, is a mere mortal when it comes to popularity on his own site. With 13 million friends listed on his profile, Zuckerberg doesn’t even crack the list of top 10 celebrities who have the biggest Facebook following.

Who’s the king — or queen — of the social network? Click our gallery, above.

Who do you think should be at the number one spot? Hop on over to Celebuzz’s own Facebook to let us know.

Shockingly enough, despite their amount of fame, the three ladies just mentioned didn’t even crack the top 10. Instead, those slots were filled by popular celebs like Steven Spielberg, Katy Perry and Rihanna.

But just who topped the Celebrity 100? Drum roll please …

It’s Jennifer Lopez!

The 42-year-old stunner, who last year was named the World’s Most Beautiful Woman by PEOPLE magazine, has every reason to top the list, which is a mixture of earnings and fame, according to Forbes.

In addition to starring in high-profile movies and releasing hit singles, the mother-of-two — who is currently dating 25-year-old back-up dancer Casper Smart — is currently one of three judges on America’s top-rated show, American Idol. Not bad for the former Fly Girl from the Bronx.

Of her recent success, Forbes writes:

“[American Idol] gave her a platform to promote her music and turn her image around. It didn’t hurt that she also split from her husband, Marc Anthony. Suddenly a single mother, Lopez lapped up the media attention and scored lucrative endorsement deals with companies like L’Oreal and Gillette. She now has a line of clothing at Kohl’s, a top-selling fragrance and she was able to secure a nice bump—to $20 million–on her Idol salary for a second season. With 6.6 million followers on Twitter and 12 million fans on Facebook, she’s also proved a master of social media.”

In fact, J-Lo is apparently so powerful, she managed to beat out Oprah Winfrey and last year’s No. 1 pick, Lady Gaga, who ranked second and fifth, respectively.

Also on the list: Kim Kardashian, who ranked seventh.

Check out the full list below:

1. Jennifer Lopez
2. Oprah Winfrey
3. Justin Bieber
4. Rihanna
5. Lady Gaga
6. Britney Spears
7. Kim Kardashian
8. Katy Perry
9. Tom Cruise
10. Steven Spielberg

Singer and songwriter Chris Brown splashed more more than $10 thousand dollars on Cristal and Ace of Spades champagne to celebrate his model girlfriend Karrueche Tran’s birthday on May 13 at Greystone Manor in West Hollywood, Calif., Celebuzz has learned.

The couple of five months were seen kissing and one bystander said they looked “very much in love.”

“He kept whispering into her ear and she was giggling as they sat at their dance floor table at the club,” the insider added.

“The two arrived together holding hands but left separately when paparazzi were swarming outside.”

It was a celebratory end to a controversial week for Brown, 23, who appropriated Kanye West’s song “Theraflu” with a few freestyle verses that many believe took aim at 24-year-old Rihanna.

At one point on the track, Brown sang the lines, ”Don’t f— with my old bitch, it’s like a bad fur / Every industry n—– done had her / Shook the tree like a pumpkin just to smash her / Bitch is breaking codes, but I’m the password.”

Brown and Rihanna resumed contact in February 2011, after an argument turned violent two years earlier, when the pop star found a text message from another woman on his cell phone.

Seeing how the sultry songstress recently debuted her nearly-nude “Where Have You Been” video (and posted its risque behind-the-scenes snapshots), we thought it would only be fitting to take a look back how many times she’s ditched her top for the camera. Click through the gallery to see some of her sexiest topless moments!

However, Rihanna’s exhibitionism hasn’t always been a hit.

While filming for her “We Found Love” music video in Ireland, a topless RiRi got a good talking to from a local farmer, who said:

“The state of undress was becoming inappropriate. I had a conversation with Rihanna. I hope she understands where I’m coming from. We shook hands.”

What do you think of Rihanna’s racy image? Is it too much for her young fans? Get in on the conversation, below.

During the outing, RiRi tweeted several pictures, including a snap of she and her mother cuddling up.

“Happy mother’s day to all superwomen out thurr! Every day is your day.”

What do you think about Rihanna’s barely-there top: Yay or Nay? Vote in the poll and play fashion critic in the comments.

Earlier in the weekend, the sexy singer took to Facebook to share intimate behind the scenes photos from her latest music video, “Where Have You Been.” In the pics, the 24-year-old is seen baring her breasts as makeup artists get to work transforming her for the opening sequence.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Rihanna has shown off her sexy bod. Earlier this year, Rihanna shared shots from her Hawaiian vacation with her fans. In one photo, the Barbadian beauty flung off her bikini top for the camera before diving into the water.

Watch the video below to see more from her recent (and racy!) bikini vacay.
