Rihanna has put her troubles from earlier in the year behind her. She spent the whole beginning of this year in a scandal not of her making, and the whole of early November using that same incident to pimp out her new album.

The singer gets linked with just about everyone. If she’s ever in a room and coughs in some one’s direction, she’ll be romantically linked to them.

The latest guy she has been linked with is 90210 star Tristan Wilds. The actor is on a popular show and known in his own right, but a name like Rihanna’s at this point isn’t exactly going to hurt his career. In a move that is sure to have seen their respective publicists climaxing with excitement, Rihanna and Tristan Wilds may have caught each others’ eyes after Wilds got his stalker on as an unexpected guest at a party Rihanna held at her Los Angeles home.

Rihanna is set to launch her own brand of perfume.

Rihanna is currently waiting for the firestorm over her tell-all interviews to die down, so she can hear the registers ringing at the sound of all the extra single and album sales. The singer is the latest celebrity to launch her own fragrance.

Who knows why any stars bother entering this crowded market, at this point. But someone in her marketing team seems to think being squeezed onto a shelf, between dusty bottles of Jennifer Lopez and Diddy’s fragrances, is a great way to make some more money off fans.

Rihanna’s full 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer aired Friday. This followed the GMA interview Thursday morning discussing Chris Brown.

Rihanna sat down with Diane Sawyer for 20/20 and the full interview aired Nov 6. The singer has an album to promote and as such she was suddenly overcome with the urge to coif her hair into an unusual style and wear an angelic colour. People in white turtle necks can do no wrong, even when they are selling a little piece of their souls in order to promote their albums.

The two videos showing the Rihanna full 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer.

Rihanna Good Morning America Diane Sawyer interview discussing abuse.

The Rihanna Good Morning America interview with Diane Sawyer aired this morning.

The video above shows Rihanna talking to Diane Sawyer about life before and after her abusive relationship with Chris Brown.

The revelations from the singer come pretty thick and fast. She clearly finds it hard to get out the words, and the interview is so emotionally charged in places that it’s a little hard to watch. Having selective memory and an album to promote, the Alien Princess wore her heart on her sleeve and spoke about being embarrassed about falling in love with Chris Brown. She also says that after several attempts, she walked away from the dangerous relationship. She feared she would set a precedent to her fans that may lead to one of them making a bad decision and getting themselves killed.

More revelations to come in the 20/ 20 interview Friday, Nov. 6 at 7 a.m. ET.

Rihanna will be giving an interview to GMA, on Thursday. In the interview she opens up for the first time about the beating by Chris Brown.

For the first time, we get to hear what the Alien Princess felt, being the victim of a brutal beating at the hands of the man she called her first big love. She has never before gone into detail about that night, nine months ago, that saw no real legal ramifications for those involved and no sensible discussions take place about spousal abuse/ other physical abuse within a relationship. Instead, we were treated to a media free-for-all and the realisation that a lot of Chris Brown fans have low enough standards to still find his woman-beating butt attractive.

Find out some of what Rihanna had to say, in her own words, under the cut.

Nine months after her fight with Chris Brown, Rihanna finally opens up about the night that left her bruised and bloody. “This happened to me. … It can happen to anyone,” the singer, 21, tells Diane Sawyer in an interview airing Thursday on Good Morning America and on 20/20 on Friday. Rihanna says it was particularly difficult because of the special place Brown held in her heart: “He was definitely my first big love.” (via People)

Rihanna will give an interview with Good Morning America this Thursday, and for the first time will address her assault by Chris Brown in February.

Rihanna’s rep confirmed the interview will take place on GMA with Diane Sawyer, Thursday Nov. 5. The singer’s revealing interview will also be featured on Friday Nov 6 night’s 20/20, according to Hollyscoop.

This sudden need to talk about being abused by her woman-beating scum of an ex coincides with the promotion for Rated R, Rihanna’s album out Nov. 23.

Call me sceptical, but well-timed musings about life with a woman-beater kind of won’t make you look any better when you’re only doing it to promote your own album. The Alien Princess needs to be de-throned for pulling shenanigans. It’s as if she doesn’t care about setting a better example to her subjects at all. Aliens with odd hair are held to a higher standard, perhaps she’s forgotten that.

Rihanna has released the full audio for Russian Roulette. The song was premiered on Ryan Seacrest.

The track has been in the works for a while and has seen her fans work themselves into a lather on social networks. Most notable was the fuss made on Twitter after the star’s people signed up and started releasing teasers.

The track requires more than a few listens. Sure the YouTube po-po and others are going to be working overtime stopping the torrent-tweens from downloading/ sharing this. With so much build up, it’s the kind of thing that can snowball.

Click below for the link to the Russian Roulette MP3 audio, and The Wait is Ova.

Russian Roulette can be heard at the website of Ryan Seacrest, who premiered the track today on his radio show. Below is promotional video, The Wait is Ova.

Rihanna used Twitter/ a special background to tease fans about album release.

Rihanna has hinted on Twitter that her new album may be coming out at the end of next month. It’s an album that I bet you didn’t know you were even waiting for. But according to her tweet, the wait is over.

That wait you didn’t know was going on, the wait you didn’t know you cared about, for the album/ artist you didn’t know you cared about either. Well, apparently you did care. So you ought to be rather excited that rather than doing another annoying, lazy re-release you may actually get to hear some new material from the Alien Princess of all Auto Tune.

I can’t even imagine why Rihanna is quite so determined to show people her nipples, or any other part of her body, in all the see-through/ sheer dresses she has been spotted in lately. I mean, it would be less effort to just go topless and be done with it. Since she seems determined to flash her nips, well, who am I to stand in her way. Rihanna’s nipple flashing is obviously NSFW (yes, I know it’s Saturday). So make the jump to see photos of the Alien Princes, from earlier today, as she flashes her chesticles and her thong.

Rihanna and her newly added blonde streaks attended the Balmain Pret a Porter show. The show was part of the Paris Womenswear Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 2010 at the Intercontinental Paris Grand Hotel in Paris, France.

The singer looked stunning and her hair seemed to have lost a little height since the last time we spotted it. It was interfering with ceiling fans over the last few months, but now, the shaved sides and frosted waves look a lot more tame.

More photos of Rihanna at the show and also her full outfit can be seen below.
