She may have only been in town for the night, but that didn’t stop Rihanna from living it up while in Paris. During the latest stop on her worldwide “777 Tour,” the “Diamonds” singer partied at the VIP Room with Diddy, Cassie, Pharrell, and Akon. Earlier in the day, she squeezed in some leisurely time to shop for lingerie at La Perla and Chantal Thomass, where she bumped into Diddy.
On Monday, she will celebrate the release of her seventh album Unapologetic by performing live in London. The concert will be live streamed globally on LoveLive and Jay-Z’s Life+Times YouTube channel.
Rihanna celebrated her GQ “Men of the Year” cover at a star-studded bash in Hollywood last night. The “Diamonds” singer, who was named “Obsession of the Year” by the men’s magazine, stole the show in a slinky red Calvin Klein mini, toasting with her fellow honorees Ben Affleck and Channing Tatum.
Big Sean kept it player in a one-of-one Katie Eary shirt and red adidas sneakers, Kid Cudi and Ne-Yo looked fresh out of the pages of GQ, and even the elusive (and tipsy) Frank Ocean came out to party with RiRi at Chateau Marmont. Jamie Foxx was snapped grabbing Rihanna’s digits, while Cassie snuggled up with her man Diddy in VIP.

With just over a week to go until his R.E.D. album drops on November 6, Ne-Yo takes it back to the ’90s on “Should Be You.” The hip-hop-flavored throwback joint, produced by Salaam Remi, kicks off with a verse from Fabolous and features a remorseful verse from Diddy.
“It’s basically a song talking about being with one person when you know that you should be and want to be with another person,” Ne-Yo told Rap-Up TV. “As beautiful as this brand new woman is, you know in your heart that where you should be is with that one.”
