Los Angeles, Feb 25 (Ians) Rihanna fans, who are waiting for the singer to drop her new album, may be disappointed after the star has hinted she wants to wait until she gets married.

Rihanna, 35, is currently pregnant with her second child to rapper A$AP Rocky and she is said to be eager to tie the knot, reports ‘Mirror.co.uk’.

Plans for a wedding before she gives birth to her second child have reportedly put releasing her ninth album on the backburner, despite fans impatience for new music. The singer is reportedly making plans for a beach wedding in her native Barbados which could see her first album since 2016 delayed even further.

A source told Radaronline.com: “Throwing a wedding and having another baby are Rihanna’s main focus at the moment. Agreeing to do the Super Bowl definitely reinvigorated her love of performing, but it still doesn’t...

Rihanna has explained why she decided to perform at this year’s Super Bowl after she turned down the opportunity nearly four years ago.

The “Umbrella” singer famously refused the NFL’s invitation to perform the 2019 halftime show in solidarity with former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

In 2016, Kaepernick introduced the concept of taking a knee while the US national anthem was sung in protest of racial justice and police brutality – a concept that the NFL sought to squash.

“There’s still a lot of mending to be done in my eyes,” Rihanna told British Vogue in her first interview since the Super Bowl, “but it’s powerful to break those doors, and have representation at such a high, high level and a consistent level.

“Two Super Bowls back-to-back,” she said, referring to last year’s headliners, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J Blige and Kendrick Lamar, “you know, representing the urban community,...

Rihanna doesn’t have time for social media trolls.

“How crazy both of my babies were in these photos and mommy had no clue thank you so much @edward_enninful and @inezandvinoodh for celebrating us as a family!”

However, some social media users apparently had an issue with Rihanna calling her baby son “fine.”

Rihanna spoke about motherhood in the British Vogue chat, with her slamming paparazzi for taking snaps of her son without her consent as they shot the photos for the magazine back in December.

Rihanna smashed it during her Super Bowl Lvii performance when she revealed she was pregnant with her second baby. However, one question that many fans still have for the “Umbrella” singer is when she will drop a new album.

In an interview with British Vogue, the Barbados-born artist opened up about being ready to release new music and wants it to be this year.

“I want it to be this year,” she said. “Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos. And I need the right background music with the visuals. I can’t just go shoot a video to me talking.”

Rihanna’s last album was Anti, which she released in 2016. The singer explained that she had not released another album since then because Anti was “my most brilliant album.

Rihanna's highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance came and went on Feb. 12, but it left an impact, especially considering the superstar used the performance to announce her second pregnancy to the world. In her Feb. 15 interview with British Vogue, Rihanna unpacked exactly why she accepted the big gig after years of turning down the NFL's halftime show offer.

"There's still a lot of mending to be done in my eyes," Rihanna said about the NFL's treatment of Colin Kaepernick after his peaceful on-field protest against police brutality during the 2016 season. "But it's powerful to break those doors, and have representation at such a high, high level and a consistent level. Two Super Bowls back-to-back representing the urban community, globally. It is powerful. It sends a really strong message."

One of the biggest reasons Rihanna was moved to accept the offer was her new role as a mother (she...

Rihanna has offered fans an update on her highly anticipated next album, which she’s been hinting at for some time.

It’s been over seven years since the “Umbrella” singer released her last album Anti in 2016. In the years since, she’s developed her Fenty Beauty line and Savage Fenty clothing brand.

Fans, however, have gotten restless, begging her to drop new music. And with her recent return to music in the form of her halftime performance at this year’s Super Bowl, fan desperation has only increased.

Rihanna once again addressed the elephant in the room in a new interview with British Vogue.

“I want it to be this year,” she said. “Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.”

“And I need the right background music with the visuals.

Rihanna has been putting “toxic” pressure on herself when it comes to her upcoming ninth studio album.

The hitmaker last released Anti in 2016, and she’s been asked about her next release basically ever since.

However, with her giving birth to her son in May, fans are still waiting.

She told British Vogue in a new interview: “When you come off of an album like Anti… In hindsight, it really is my most brilliant album. I say that because in the moment, I didn’t realize it. But it always felt like the most cohesive album I’ve ever made.

“When you break it down and you realise this album goes from ‘Work’ to ‘Kiss It Better’ to ‘Needed Me’ to ‘Love on the Brain’ to ‘Sex with Me’ to ‘Desperado’,” she continued, adding: “And somehow it all fits and not for a second did you glitch?”

RiRi said of the album’s variety: “Right?...

Even beyond Resident Evil, Albert Wesker is the best video game villain. Video game villains can run the gamut from over-exaggerated and cartoony like Bowser, to stereotypically evil (but lacking motivation or merit), like Uncharted 2's Lazarevic. But a truly great video game villain needs more than just a stand-out visual design or one-note personality. They also need a great backstory.

Albert Wesker is the perfect video game villain for this reason, which is why he's so likely to reappear as a villain Resident Evil 9. He has an extra layer of depth that legitimizes his actions, making him more than a one-note villain. His double-cross in the first Resident Evil is one of the most memorable moments in video game history, and that’s due to his well-developed motivations. Wesker is at once iconic and nuanced - a tough balance to pull off.

‘Umbrella’ is a tender, musical love story of a well-educated, family-oriented couple whose love leads to emotional rifts in the relationships between the two families, the emotional upheaval caused by parents’ expectations of their children and their unmet expectation.

Talking about the same director Manoj Vishe said, “It’s a special film for us. Our story isn’t a normal love story. Its mesmerizing music and love story will surely connect with the audiences.”

The makers of the film ‘Umbrella’ decided to release their first poster on Valentine’s Day. Directed by Manoj Vishe, the film stars Hemal Ingle, Abhishek Sethiya, Arun Nalawade and Suhita Thatte in key roles. Produced by Swarnad Creation and Blue Umbrella Entertainment and is presented by Scinemasters Entertainment and will release in the second quarter of 2023.

Presenter Arvind Singgh Rajpoot of ‘Scinemasters Entertainment’ said, “When we heard about this film, we were sure we wanted to present it.

Rihanna took centre stage on Sunday at the Super Bowl 2023 halftime show. The highly anticipated concert was the singer’s first performance in seven years.

The singer sent fans into a frenzy speculating she is pregnant with her second child during the show. Her representatives later confirmed the pregnancy to The Hollywood Reporter.

Each year, the NFL recruits some of the biggest names in music to put on a show-stopping performance. From Beyoncé to Paul McCartney to Lady Gaga, the Super Bowl halftime show has attracted millions of viewers worldwide, which is why so many artists dream of the day they will be asked to put on their own 13-minute concert.

But it’s not the big pay day that entices musicians to put on a Super Bowl halftime show. In fact, there is no pay day at all.

While it may come as a surprise to some, the truth...

If you grew up with mom of two-to-be Rihanna's chart-topping hits like "Shut Up and Drive" and "Umbrella" dominating your teenage years or you have a few Fenty Beauty lipsticks in your collection, you're probably fully aware of the influential impact she's made in the entertainment and beauty industries over the years. The Grammy-winning singer - who just announced her second pregnancy during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show - is trendsetting and versatile - and she's proven her creativity in several outlets. Though talks about R9 are still developing (and probably even more delayed due to this new bundle), as you patiently wait, you can enjoy how the business tycoon showcases her talents and interests in other meaningful ways, like her size-inclusive and body-positive lingerie brand, Savage x Fenty.

Following her Super Bowl halftime performance on Sunday, a representative for Rihanna, 34, confirmed that the pop star is pregnant with her second child.

In the opening moments of the show, the singer rubbed her stomach and left the zipper of her outfit, a red jumpsuit over a matching red bodysuit, open to reveal her belly.

This got many on social media wondering about whether Rihanna was in fact pregnant.

This didn’t appear to hinder Rihanna as she performed a medley of several of her hits over the years, including “We Found Love,” “Where Have You Been,” “Umbrella,” “Work” and “Diamonds.”

The moment was captured on video by a concert-goer who shared the clip on social media, where it received attention from others.

Rihanna revealed her second pregnancy in the most Rihanna way possible: floating atop a platform in the sky while headlining the Super Bowl Lvii Halftime Show. She made history Sunday night as the first pregnant woman to perform for the high-profile halftime show – and, of course, she absolutely broke the Internet along the way.

But nothing held the singer back, as Rihanna cradled her second baby bump, danced and belted out hit after hit, opening with “Bitch Better Have My Money,” before moving on to her long list of chart toppers, like “Rude Boy,” “Work,” “Umbrella,” and “Only Girl (In the World).”

Rihanna returned to the music scene in a big way on Sunday night.

The proven hitmaker performed during the halftime show at Super Bowl 57 and featured some of her biggest hits.

Cramming 17 years' worth of hits into the set must have been tough, and in the end, we were treated to the following songs:

"All of the Lights"

"The setlist was the biggest challenge. That was the hardest part — deciding how to maximize 13 minutes, but also celebrate," Rihanna said in an interview ahead of the performance.

“We needed Rihanna back in our lives.

Rihanna has been called an “icon” for one small moment during her Super Bowl halftime show performance.

For the show, the singer delivered a medley of songs including “Umbrella”, “Work” and “All of the Lights”, and has been widely praised by her fans for her efforts.

Considering the singer was performing on one of the biggest stages there is, she also conveniently found time to fix her make-up during the performance – using her own brand Fenty Beauty.

Rihanna’s fans couldn’t blame the singer for wanting to use the opportunity to plug her business, with one viewer calling it: “The best commercial in this entire Super Bowl.”

“Rihanna checking her make up in the middle of her Super Bowl performance. Icon,” one fan wrote, with another writing: “She did not top up her make up Loooooooooooooool She Promo Thank U.

A representative for Rihanna has confirmed that the pop star is pregnant after her explosive Super Bowl performance that had social media talking, reports ‘Variety’. During her hits-filled set, the singer cradled her midsection several times, leading to widespread speculation on social media that she was pregnant with her second child with her partner, the rapper Aap Rocky.

Rihanna’s Super Bowl set ran through many of her greatest hits, starting with ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’, ending with ‘Diamonds’ and touching on several smashes along the way, including ‘Only Girl (In the World)’, ‘Work’ and ‘Umbrella’, notes ‘Variety’.

Beyond the pregnancy speculation, Rihanna’s set had plenty of other highlights, ‘Variety’ adds. Although there were no special guests on-stage helping her to perform, she had one viral moment where she touched up her makeup mid-song, giving some nice promotion to her Fenty makeup brand.

Also, the moving platforms she...

TV producer Jesse Collins said there was some pressure following last year’s epic, Emmy-winning Super Bowl halftime show with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and more, but working with Rihanna made the process easy.

“She’s a lot of fun, very cool, never stressed. Just like, ‘All right, I’m going to go do this real quick.’ The pressure never got to her. She just was in it from day one, and really warm and let everybody have fun with it,” Collins told The Hollywood Reporter moments after Rihanna blazed the stage Sunday at the State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

“I think there’s always pressure with this show,” added Collins, who also produced The Weeknd’s 2021 halftime show. “You work so hard, six months for 13 minutes. [This was] an opportunity to work with a global superstar and her re-entry into music.”

Rihanna last performed live at the 2018 Grammy Awards. Before that,...

Will the NFL, Rihanna and Apple Music think that I’m being critical when I call the halftime show at Sunday’s Super Bowl Lvii one of the most cohesive in the game’s history?

Nobody thinks of “cohesive” as being an especially effusive adjective, nor has the Super Bowl halftime show ever really aspired to cohesion. You know why? Because cohesion doesn’t move the needle. Cohesion is uniform and consistent, and the Super Bowl halftime show is usually all about the moments that stem from “Holy crap!” deviations.

That’s why most of the more recent halftime spectaculars have had a headliner, and then they’ve had surprising or unsurprising guest stars, sometimes from completely incompatible genres or with head-scratching disparities in star power. Like, I know it was the 50th Super Bowl, but how the blazes did we have a year in which Coldplay was the top...

No costume changes. No guests joining her onstage. No curveball surprises in her set list. Not even Tom Holland showing up for “Umbrella.” Nothing except Rihanna being a boss and a half on her flying stage, reigning supreme at her Super Bowl halftime show and crushing every possible prediction about how she would handle her first public performance in more than five years. Just the way she began with “Bitch Better Have My Money” was a statement in itself. She’s baaaack.

During the performance — where the Oscar-nominated singer showed off her baby bump in a custom Alia jacket and gloves combo — the Aap Rocky was on the sidelines cheering her on.

The rapper’s jacket was a nod to his woman, as it was embellished with the iconic image she used to announce that she would take the stage during Sunday’s show. Rihanna had another special guest in the crowd. Ahead of her performance, her brother Rorrey declared Super Bowl Lvii “the Rihanna concert.”

It was a big night for the couple,...

Pop icon Rihanna headlined the Super Bowl Halftime show to the audiences’ delight. The singer/songwriter made a return to live show after six years and sizzled the stage performing her chart-topping numbers from her most recent 2016 album Anti to all the way back from her 2007 hit Umbrella. Deaf performer Justina Miles also provided the Asl rendition at the show. The much-anticipated return of the star paid off as she reigned with her melodious voice.

Rihanna returned to the live stage for a performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, and boy, was it worth the wait.

The Barbados-born pop singer didn’t hold back one bit during her career-spanning set, playing some of her biggest hits — “Umbrella,” “We Found Love,” and “Diamonds” — alongside standout features on “All of the Lights” and “Run This Town.” Making the breathtaking performance even more impressive is the fact she did so while pregnant. A baby bump was visible throughout her performance, and afterwards a representative for the singer confirmed that she is indeed expecting her second child.

Clad in a red jumpsuit, Rihanna showed no fear as she was lowered down to the stage on a floating platform to open the performance. Choreographed dancers surrounded Rihanna when she touched down, and though the superstar obviously wasn’t able to move as freely as she would otherwise, she still held her own.

Rihanna hasn’t toured since 2016, but on Sunday during the Jay Z-produced spectacle that is the Super Bowl Lvii Halftime Show the Good Girl Gone Bad singer put on a tour de force.

Filling her less-than-15-minute set with an array of hits, floating platforms, club dance floor dynamics and spectacle, the second best-selling female artist of all time owned the field at State Farm Stadium with near pure superstar swagger.

Pushing the high-profile slot to new technological and Olympian heights, Rihanna was pure solo. With a catalog full of work with the likes of the aforementioned Jay-Z, Eminem and Drake over the decades, the “Umbrella” singer teased guest stars earlier this week, but it was all hype because when it came showtime, Rihanna did the job all on her own with only a legion of dancers as sidekicks in a performance that was totally 2023.
