Relationship Assumption Rihanna and Hassan in London Rihanna was first seen with her boyfriend, Hassan Jameel, in late June while they were on holiday in Spain. Kathleen wrote about those pictures.

Style Rihanna in pink I went to the movies last weekend and there was a preview for Valerian before it started. It was mostly Cara Delevingne and Dane DeHaan talking, not very compellingly to be honest, about why people should go see it. And then something about how Valerian is Star Wars before Star By Lainey • Jul 18, 2017 03:43 pm

Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Rihanna, Robert Pattinson, and “that f-cking boat movie” On this week’s episode of Show Your Work, Duana and I get into a fight about farmers markets. Then we get into the Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o project that got its start on social media. You know that expression that Duana taught me, the one I repeat constantly?

Movie Reviews and Previews IT’S HAPPENING The Rihanna/ Lupita/ Ava/ Issa movie of Twitter’s dreams is officially happening.

Style Solange: MET Best Dressed 2017 (Duana) Well. I mean, of course it’s not surprising that Solange is Best Dressed. In fact, she’s been using the MET Gala as her personal runway for years—a place where she is, in a different way than Rihanna, expected to reign. But man, I didn’t know it By Duana • May 02, 2017 01:17 pm
Amazingness Rihanna and Lupita’s Black Twitter movie Don’t f-ck this up Hollywood. That’s all I ask. Actual real-life goddesses Lupita Nyong'o and Rihanna may star in a movie Black Twitter made up.
