Baby and Bump Obsession Rihanna: Surprise, Shopping, and Dinner Rihanna made a quick trip to Vegas on Tuesday, surprising people at Ulta Beauty with an unannounced appearance.

Baby and Bump Obsession Rihanna and Rocky’s matching family dinner Guess where Rihanna had dinner last night. By now you don’t have to guess, right? Nine times out of ten, maybe even more, Rihanna will have dinner at Giorgio Baldi – or she’ll pick up her dinner at Giorgio Baldi, which is what she did last week and they By Lainey • Apr 06, 2023 10:47 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Rihanna’s 12 Hour Day Rihanna was reportedly at a photo shoot yesterday. According to the paps, she arrived to the studio at 7pm and was done at 7am, so a 12-hour day – or, rather, a 12-hour night? These are rockstar hours. These are Rihanna hours. These have always been her hours. And she’s By Lainey • Mar 31, 2023 10:39 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Rihanna at the Drive-Thru Rihanna was hungry last night. And she didn’t feel like getting dressed and having her hair and makeup done. I say this because it’s not like we don’t ever see Rihanna out for dinner – she goes out for dinner all the time, whether she’s pregnant or By Lainey • Mar 29, 2023 10:34 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Rihanna Post-Oscars Not sure if you caught this in the site open yesterday but there was a version of the Oscar multiverse that would have involved Rihanna sitting in the audience during Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue with her baby in her lap. Didn’t end up happening but I wonder whether or By Lainey • Mar 16, 2023 09:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for March 15, 2023 Dear Gossips, Jimmy Kimmel did a round of press last week ahead of the Oscars. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jimmy confirmed that Tom Cruise would be there and that was pretty much what everyone else was expecting, to the point where Jimmy’s monologue involved several Tom By Lainey • Mar 15, 2023 09:18 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Intro for March 14, 2023 Dear Gossips, As I mentioned yesterday, this year’s Oscars were a return to the Oscars as we always knew them which applies to the event itself and the spectacle of the red carpet but also the entire Oscars weekend – the party circuit was back on full blast. As The By Lainey • Mar 14, 2023 09:42 am
Oscars 2023 Duana’s Best Dressed: Rihanna The worst thing Lainey and I ever did where our analyses of awards show fashion year-over-year is concerned was to introduce the concept of lifetime achievement/ retirement. Because once we did it for Zendaya – a decision we stand behind – it became obvious that we would run into the same problems, By Duana • Mar 13, 2023 04:56 pm
Music Rihanna and RRR at the Oscars For the last couple of weeks, before and since Rihanna’s performance at the Fenty Bowl, I’ve been wondering about the Oscars. “Lift Me Up”, from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, was not part of her halftime setlist. And that made sense, since it’s been nominated for By Lainey • Feb 24, 2023 11:58 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Rihanna’s Birthday Favourite Rihanna kept a low profile in the weeks leading up the Fenty Bowl, understandably. She was rehearsing and she was building the anticipation. And she had a secret. Now that the secret is out and her performance was basically the whole event, after taking some time to rest and recover, By Lainey • Feb 21, 2023 12:48 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Intro for February 16, 2023 Dear Gossips, Of course life changes when you become a parent, even when you’re Rihanna. But… not everything changes. Rihanna’s pregnancy last year was fashion euphoria – the ultimate trendsetter defiantly redefining the possibilities of pregnancy style. Which, for Rihanna, was just style, pregnancy had nothing to do with By Lainey • Feb 16, 2023 09:19 am
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. Securing her appearance has already been a huge win for the NFL, Apple Music, and betting sites as prop bets related to her performance are wildly popular, ranging from first and last song, By Lainey • Feb 10, 2023 11:34 am
Music What Will Rihanna Say? Rihanna’s Halftime Show is now just three sleeps away and today is the day – it’s press conference day, which is happening at 6pm in Arizona. This will be the first time we’ve seen Rihanna in a few weeks, and certainly since she’s been in final preparations By Lainey • Feb 09, 2023 11:54 am
Music Rihanna: The Countdown Rihanna’s Halftime Show is now four weeks away. She took a timeout on Tuesday to attend the Golden Globes – and was shouted out multiple times during the night – but when she’s not with her baby, she is definitely spending most of her time right now rehearsing for the By Lainey • Jan 13, 2023 01:01 pm
