Rihanna is a workhorse who can be counted on to release an album a year. Surprisingly, she didn't drop a new platter in 2013, despite rumors that she might do so last November. However, she may return to the retail playing field this year with a new album, but in a totally different and unexpected way.

Rihanna landed her third Vogue cover, this time rocking her signature pixie, a sheer black top and jeans for the March 2014 issue. The feature pretty much explains and celebrates the "Rihanna Effect" in fashion, which is essentially the notion that her look is copyable on the mass level and that women want to dress like her.

Rihanna is one of the hardest working and most successful pop stars in the world, with lots of endorsements and revenue streams. However, a new lawsuit filed against her accountant reveals that the diva was almost bankrupt back in 2009.

Sexy pop sirens Shakira and Rihanna get it on -- but not exactly -- with each other in their video for 'Can't Remember to Forget You.' They come pretty close with their sexual simulation. Is anyone shocked?

Stop us if you've heard this one before. Rihanna went topless! OMG, you guys!

Shakira and Rihanna collaborating is a match made in hip-shaking heaven, and now we have a preview of their duet, 'Can't Remember to Forget You!'

Rihanna is enjoying a much-deserved vacation after releasing albums every year from 2009 to 2012, but that doesn't mean she's not on her grind anyway. The Bajan beauty may be enjoying the sand and surf in her hometown now, but she'll be in the studio again soon. With who? A fellow Roc Nation signee, DJ Mustard -- and he's making big promises for her upcoming release!

Rihanna x Shakira? You bet! The song, 'Can't Remember to Forget You,' drops Jan. 13. It was initially revealed to be landing on Jan. 14, but RiRi tweeted it's coming a day early.

Rihanna is in the Christmas spirit with her holiday manicure.

MAC Cosmetics really hearts RiRi and RiRi really hearts MAC, so her range with the brand is aptly named!

Rihanna is as famous for taking off her clothes as she is for the daring, bold and sexy ensembles that she does wear. The singer may find incentive in wearing more clothes now that she has been named the face of uber luxe, fashion-forward brand Balmain.

The Rihanna and Shakira collaboration looks to be confirmed, but it wasn't RiRi or Shakira who delivered this awesome news. It was actually Pitbull, who has nothing to do with the song.
