			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pop star Rhianna, who hasn’t dated anyone since fellow rapper Chris Brown, was seen kissing baseball star Matt Kemp in a hot tub this past weekend. While the extent of their relationship is not known, the Los Angeles Dodgers player and Rhianna were seen vacationing together in Mexico. Kemp also reportedly traveled with Rihanna to Dubai, where she performed a live concert on New Years Eve.</p>
<p>The 25 year old Kemp, who had his best year last year, said in a 2009 interview that one of his goals was to find a perfect woman. Kemp said his ideal woman would be attractive and independent. Rihanna, who travels the world and is a multi millionaire pop star, would definitely meet both of Kemp’s needs.</p>
<p>Chris Brows, who was convicted for assaulting Rihanna in 2009, has also apparently moved on. Brown was seen in a Florida night club with model Jessica Marquez. While Brown’s professional career seems to have taken a hit since his assault conviction, he seems able to find success with women.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Britain&#8217;s The Daily Mirror, singer Rihanna is trying to find suitable costumes after being asked to give a concert in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, December 31.</p>
<p>The Umbrella singer will have to be fully clothed during her performance as not to offend her more conservative fans.</p>
<p>A statement released by the organizer’s of the event, Flash, say, “‘the facts and figures recently reported around Rihanna’s Abu Dhabi concert are totally inaccurate. Rihanna is bringing an incredible new stage show to the capital and there’s no doubt the event will be fantastic; an ideal way to celebrate the beginning of a new decade.”</p>
<p>Rihanna, 21, who will receive 500 000 U.S. dollars for this show, has faced protests in Malaysia earlier this year.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of her advertising campaign for her new album, &#8220;Rated R&#8220;   , Rihanna is shown on the cover GQ`s magazine`s January eddition. We can see the singer half-naked, arms well placed strategically to hide part of his chest.</p>
<p>Rihanna has worked very hard to revive her career following the incident last February in which she was  attacked by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s relieving,&#8221; she told the magazine of talking to the press about her violent encounter with Brown early this year, &#8220;because it was built up for so long, and all these thoughts and emotions have been running through my mind for the past eight months. And now it&#8217;s like I finally get to let go and move on.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I wanted people to move on with me,&#8221; she continues, &#8220;&#8217;cause the last big thing they know about me is That Night. And I don&#8217;t want that to be what people define me as.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The debut album from Scottish singer Susan Boyle, who became a global star through Britain&#8217;s Got Talent in the UK, has a fast start in the United States, with 710,000 copies sold in one week, the best start this year, according to figures published today.</p>
<p>The singer has even beaten the flamboyant Adam Lambert, pop star Rihanna and the eccentric Lady Gaga, who have released their new albums at the same time.</p>
<p>Her album &#8220;I Dreamed a Dream&#8221; has recorded the best first week of sales since the &#8220;Black Ice&#8221;, the cult rock band AC / DC, with 784,000 copies in one week in October 2008, says a report by the firm Nielsen SoundScan.</p>
<p>Susan Boyle was also registered last week a flying start in Britain with 410,000 copies of &#8220;I Dreamed a Dream&#8221;, the highest total sales history for a first week in this country.</p>
<p>Although Boyle ultimately failed to win Britain&#8217;s Got Talent, her April audition for the show became an international YouTube phenomenon with over 300 million hits on YouTube alone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s only been a couple of weeks since Rihanna was interviewed by Diane Sawyer on 20/20 in which she showed obvious signs that she was still hurting from her recent incidents with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.</p>
<p>But the “Russian Roulette” singer seems to be healing quite nicely. RiRi was spotted being “openly affectionate” with 90210 actor Tristan Wilds at a party she hosted in her L.A. home last week.</p>
<p>“No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party — it was very intimate. But everyone quickly realized they weren’t meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see,” said a source.</p>
<p>The two were introduced by a music producer whom they have both worked with.</p>
<p>Rihanna’s friends approve of the new beau in her life and think they make a good pair. Said one of them, “He’s a real gentleman. She likes him a lot, and it shows. From the moment he walked into her party, Rihanna lit up.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong>Rihanna finally spoke out about the beating she received in February from her then boyfriend Chris Brown.</p>
<p>Brown was arrested, charged and plead guilty to felony assault for which he has a sentence of community service and therapy.</p>
<p>Rihanna spoke about their relationship in an interview with Diane Sawyer on &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; Thursday saying &#8220;That&#8217;s embarrassing. that&#8217;s the type of person I fell in love with. So far in love, so unconditional, that I went back. That&#8217;s not what I want to teach people.&#8221;</p>
<p>She warned other women in the same situation &#8220;It&#8217;s completely normal to go back. You start lying to yourself. I&#8217;ll say that to any young girl who is going through domestic violence: Don&#8217;t react off of love.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 21 year-old singer says she now &#8220;feels strong&#8217;. The interview continued Friday morning with RIhanna explaining more about the incident saying while the assault was happening &#8220;There was no person when I looked at him. He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rihanna still wishes Brown well and says &#8220;I don&#8217;t hate him at all. I actually love and care about him and I&#8217;m concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well. have a great career, have a great life, and grow up. Just take this as something that you had to go through to grow up and learn.&#8221;</p>
<p>More of this interview is set to air Friday evening on &#8220;20/20&#8243;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the first time since the February attack by Chris Brown, Rihanna broke her silence this morning on Good Morning America, saying she was embarrassed by the incident and hopes people can learn from her situation.</p>
<p>In the Interview, the 21-year-oold singer speaks candidly about her relationship with former lover Chris Brown.</p>
<p>&#8220;The more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other,&#8221; Rihanna shared with Sawyer. &#8220;He was definitely my first big love.&#8221;</p>
<p>She continued: &#8220;This happened to me… and it can happen to anybody.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Unbrella&#8221; singer tells Diane Sawyer she was embarrassed that she &#8220;fell in love with that person.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It&#8217;s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It&#8217;s a traumatizing experience,&#8221; she told Sawyer.</p>
<p>&#8220;I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,&#8221; she added. &#8220;But again &#8230; I&#8217;m a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I&#8217;m not perfect.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the two-part interview, Rihanna will also discuss her family life, growing up in Barbados and how life has been for her since her split from Chris Brown.</p>
<p>The full interview with Rihanna airs Friday night on 20/20.</p>
