Good Girls Are Boring

Relatively speaking, at least. In this age of blog-a-go-go voyeurism, we tend to forgo staid-and-playful for the more controversial sedated-and-unstable. But if a good girl goes hot, then all bets are off. Rihanna’s latest album, her third in two years, is titled Good Girl Gone Bad - and judging from her skintight clothes and angular haircut, the corruption is well underway.

Not that the physical frame could ever be accused of being boring; in that regard, the Barbados native (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty) is downright fascinating. So much so, in fact, that you’d (hypothetically) let it slide if you found her as (hypothetically) manufactured and vapid as you might have (hypothetically) expected to. Well, pump your brakes, you cynical bastards. For a multiplatinum recording artist with an aggressive tour schedule, an entourage, and a glut of major endorsements, Rihanna’s as low-maintenance as they come. Jay-Z’s protégée laughs easily, riffs deadpan in her island lilt, and even if she is as steadfastly nice as Winnie Cooper, the fact that she likes guns and loves comic book movies makes her win. So forget the fallen starlets and rehab babies - we’re wishing on a good girl.

So, I see you’re sporting a different look. You’re like an assassin or something. [Laughing.] Thanks. I wanted something new.

Well, you were on All My Children last year—if you get more into acting, you could always play a mercenary.

I’ve read a few scripts. I haven’t gone for anything yet, but I’d really want to do an action movie. Like an Aeon Flux or Matrix or Underworld. I love those movies.

Who would you want to work with in Hollywood?

What’s that guy’s name who was in that movie with Jessica Alba? Paul…umm…

Wait, who?

Fast and the Furious…Paul something…

Paul Walker? You could work with anyone in Hollywood and you choose Paul Walker?!

[Laughing.] I think he’s really hot.

Did you see 300?

[Deadly serious.] 300 is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The choreography, the fighting, the costumes, the production—phenomenal. I make everybody watch it.

So you didn’t think it was too violent.

Oh, not at all. That was the good part. I’m the oldest child with two brothers. We talk all the time now, but we used to fight—and when I say “fight,� I don’t mean arguments, I mean physically fight.

Who won?

Rihanna is returning to the public eye with style following her alleged altercation with Chris Brown - she partied with Jay-Z and wife Beyonce Knowles in New York.

The Umbrella singer hit the Big Apple on Friday (13Mar09) night with the star couple and a group of friends.
And to avoid unwanted attention, the trio insisted staff at The Spotted Pig gastropub section off an entire floor for their use.

A source tells America's OK!, "People love the Spotted Pig because it's super laid-back, but it was far from it last night. Security was on red-alert, and you could tell they were under strict instructions to let them party in peace.
"(Rihanna) was in a good mood and laughing at the camera all night. She didn't care that the cameras were taking pictures of her. She was just having a fun girls night. She was telling her friend, 'See it's not that bad over here, in L.A. there's mad paparazzi.' She was joking with friends and walking down the street."

Brown is charged with assault and making criminal threats after an argument with Rihanna last month (08Feb09) allegedly left her battered and bruised.
He is due back in court in April (09).
