Baby and Bump Obsession Rihanna Handles Halftime How about that run of hits? Hit after hit after hit. Someone online said it was anthems – and that’s a great word for what Rihanna delivered last night at the Fenty Bowl: an endless and explosive set of anthems, songs that were made for huge stadiums, for singing along By Lainey • Feb 13, 2023 11:25 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Intro for February 13, 2023 Dear Gossips, Do you think Rihanna’s people deliberately leaked all that nonsense about the announcement of a tour/album ahead of Fenty Bowl to divert attention away from the confirmation of her pregnancy? Or is this just another case of The Sun getting it wrong? It was The Sun By Lainey • Feb 13, 2023 08:18 am
Music Rihanna: Feel It Coming In The Air It wasn’t hyperbolic when I posted yesterday about the Rihanna concert that’s happening on Sunday.

Top Reads Jerrod went there I am not at all surprised Jerrod Carmichael turned out to be a good host for the Golden Globes, I have insisted all along he is too good for this show. What did surprise me is just how HARD he went at EVERYTHING. I expected his monologue to focus on By Sarah • Jan 11, 2023 09:03 am
Music Rihanna: Halftime and the Globes Just under five weeks to go now until Rihanna’s 12-minute concert. She posted a video on Sunday to start the countdown and, hilariously, didn’t put much into it. Because she doesn’t need to. It’s not like the anticipation isn’t already high. It’s been a By Lainey • Jan 10, 2023 10:21 am
Music Rihanna goes back to dinner By now we all know it, right?
