Tonight will go down in history. 150 sleep deprived journalists on Rihanna‘s 777 tour finally let go of the frustration and anger that’s been building up over the past few days. Here’s exactly what happened:
Rihanna 777 Day 4: Paris with RiRi, Diddy, Akon and Cassie? Yes Please!
The City of Love stole my heart and I will never, ever get it back. Cliche, I know, but there is something magical about Paris that you just have to experience for yourself. Add a Rihanna show and your trip is made. And then to be surprised by Diddy, Akon, Cassie, Pharrell and Omarion at the after party? Yeah, that happened. We never want to leave. Let’s start from the beginning…
Rihanna 777, Day 3: Stockholm Syndrome
The moment we entered Berns in Stockholm last night, Day 3 of the Rihanna 777 Tour, I knew it was going to be a good night. The venue was gorg, the DJ was sick, but it was definitely the fans that caught my eye. They, were, HOT. Like, too-cool-for-school-keep-staring-at-me-I-look-better-than-you hot. And I’m like, hey-I’m-living-on-a-plane-havent-brushed-my-teeth-stop-staring-at-me not hot. ANYWAY, borderline delusional after only 2 hours of sleep, I’m sitting here thinking, dude, what happened last night? Yeah, we had a few drinks. Yeah, there was an after party. Yeah, we got crunk. But WTF Sweden? How’d you kick our butts so hard? We struggled a bit after Day 2 of the 777 Tour in Toronto, but nothing compares to the long, zombie-like faces of the 777 crew today.
Oh well, what can you do? Lets talk Rihanna. We’ve seen her perform three consecutive nights now and still can’t get enough. Last night’s show was amaze-balls. With the beautiful chandeliers, decor and all the hot people combined, there was a vibe to Ri’s set that I just couldn’t shake off. Check out the photos below and you’ll see what I mean.
Kanye West Borrows The Fresh Prince Interlude For His “Diamonds (Remix)”
Kanye West has gotten his hands on Rihanna‘s Unapologetic hit single “Diamonds” and given it a good old ‘Ye shake. The end result is a delirious and delightful remix that includes: shout outs to the Victoria’s Secret models in his bed, Brad Pit and the Illuminati; a Fresh Prince of Bel Air intro interlude; an odd knock at Tay Zonday’s viral hit “Chocolate Rain”; and an enthusiastic endorsement for shower sex (“fresh as f***!”). It’s also timely: “We made it through the hurricane, so celebrate and light the Mary Jane.” He really let it all out for this one, so enjoy. Happy Friday.

Rihanna 777, Day 2: Team No Sleep Can’t Stop…Won’t Stop in Toronto!
Drink. Play. Repeat. The story of our lives here on Rihanna’s 777 tour- and it’s only Day Two! Sleep deprived? Totally. But allow me to explain why I am so proud of #TeamNoSleep:
Okay, Fine, We Begrudgingly Like The Newly Leaked Chris Brown And Rihanna Duet “Nobodies Business”
Quick! Hit play before this disappears. The long-awaited Rihanna and Chris Brown duet has leaked its way onto YouTube and with confirming previous evidence, that it is indeed good. Playing off Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel”, the two extract the hook “Ain’t nobody’s business but mine and my baby’s”, wrapping it around an infectious dance beat. Unlike “The Way You Make Me Feel”, however, these two are way past the wooing stage. Chris and Rihanna take turns spitting love odes for each other, even offering ”Let’s make out in this Lexus” — an uncomfortable phrasing considering the very real life situation the two were in that took place in the front seat of Chris’ car in 2009.
History aside, the song speaks for itself and it’s a good one. Check it out before it possibly gets whisked off the web til next week.
Rihanna 777 Tour, Day 1: Bottle Poppin’, Frenzied Fans and Diamonds In The Sky
“Are you ready to get DRUNK?” says Rihanna on the plane’s intercom. Yes, yes we are. But only if you join us, RiRi!
Day One of Rihanna‘s 777 world tour has been nothing short of badass: flowing drinks, screaming fans and of course, the Bajan princess herself. But it’s only JUST BEGUN. With the help of a good adrenaline rush (and some ibuprofen) we survived our first day in the life of a true rock star and can’t wait to tell you all about it! Matter of fact, we’ll let the pictures do the honors…
But before we do, be sure and follow us on Twitter at @VH1Music for up-to-the-second updates for the next few days. Okay, on with the show!
Ellen DeGeneres Talks To Rihanna’s Vagina
Everyone except the 150 media people traveling with Rihanna on her #777tour are brewing with jealousy today. If you’re one of Rihanna’s 26 million Twitter followers, or read any entertainment site on the Internet, you’re aware of the promo Rihanna and her team put together for her 7th album, Unapologetic. VH1 has a front row seat to the 7 days, 7 cities, 7 shows extravaganza; and today Rihanna hopped on the plane to say hello to the press in a way that only Rihanna would. “Theres an emergency. Code 777. Everybody buckle up your seat belts! LETS GET DRUUUNK!” she said over the plane’s intercom. Read more…
Rihanna Explains Her “Tweet, Retweet, Trending Topic!” Songwriting Strategy And Dances With Chris Brown For GQ
You may have caught glimpse of — or lingered over, because who could blame you? — Rihanna‘s sexy GQ “Men of the Year (And One Hot Woman)” cover that hit the web over the weekend and figured she had already bared all. But the accompanying story is now up, and the boundary-less star has more yet to show and tell, about the bottle brawl and her songwriting, her Caribbean culture and of course her love life. Rihanna and the writer enjoy a night out on the town that includes a papparazzi-flash lit dinner, an impromptu song-writing sesh in her hotel room and a dance-floor reunion with none other than Chris Brown.
Both Rihanna and Azealia Banks Surf The Web IRL, Get Slack From Internet Artists
Just hours after Rihanna performed her single “Diamonds” on Saturday Night Live in front of a backdrop seemingly pulled right off Tumblr dashboards, Azealia Banks dropped a music video for “Atlantis” that featured similar Lisa-Frank-Meets-Seapunk aesthetics. Was it purely coincidence or did Rihanna’s SNL performance and Azealia Banks’ new video for “Atlantis” both pull from the same Internet aesthetic? And do either of them have to answer to the crew of Internet artists that have been calling foul?
