Watch: Rihanna ‘Sips It Up’ During ‘Talk That Talk’ PerformanceSome love it, others hate it…however, there’s no denying Rihanna’s mastered the art of 'performapartying'. The unique art of performing as though one was at a liqueur laden frat party, the last few years have seen Fenty perfect with this age craft with relative ease…putting many a two bit Karaoke queen to shame with her timeless ‘mic to the crowd…Henny to the lips’ routine. Bob Fosse who?Now watch her showcase the best of her moves during a performance of 'Talk That Talk', armed with thinly veiled ‘liquid courage’ below… Classic. ThatGrapeJuice

Report: Rihanna Inks New Recording ContractSay what you will about Rihanna, but little can be done to downplay her leading role in the play that is Pop music.
By no means a remarkable vocalist, the star has-in recent years- morphed herself into an albums seller, watching each and every LP she’s released since 2010 sell no less than 3 million units worldwide….impressive, by anyone’s standards.
Only right then, that she assesses her worth as an act today and secures a brand new recording contract- complete with new terms and conditions set to catapult her even further to Pop supremacy.
Good news below…
After becoming a stand alone label earlier on in the year, Roc Nation have now resigned Rihanna, three years after picking her up from Marc Jordan's 'Rebel One' management group.
Announced by Hits Daily Double, Rihanna's brand new recording contract will no doubt have seen the capital she’s generated for the label taken into account, as she continues her relationship with Universal's 'Island Def Jam', with whom she signed with in 2004.
While specific details on the contract are yet to be revealed, unconfirmed reports hint at a reevaluation of the 360 degree deal she allegedly signed, which sees a percentage of all her earnings acquired by her label.
If so, it’ll be interesting to see how future campaigns from the star will be rolled out, and – as far as Jay Brown is concerned- how ROC will use the muscle power they’ve garnered through Rihanna to push their budding cash cows…Rita Ora and Elijah Blake.

Funeral Company Files Lawsuit Against Rihanna Over ‘Outstanding Balance’Reported work on her new studio album may be keeping her busy these days, but a lawsuit filed by a Barbados funeral company may be on course to throw a major spanner in Rihanna‘s works this week.
Find out why below!
After passing away in June 2012, the star’s grandmother Clara Braithwaite was honored with a funeral totaling at $150,000.
According to who organized the event, the star was only able to pay a quarter of this amount and refused to pay anymore, labeling it exorbitant- despite the company’s compliance with all her wishes.
Wishes, that allegedly included a party, armed with tents, multi-media large screens and large exotic floral arrangements- most of which they claim she is yet to pay for.
In response, a rep for the star tells TMZ that Rihanna did pay the bill in full- labeling the company’s claims completely false.

Hot Shots: Rihanna Shoots New Music Video…With A$AP Rocky
Well, well, what do we have here? To be fair, we’re not sure why we’re asking as it’s quite the familiar sight. Pop rebel Rihanna was snapped shooting a brand new music video.
The nocalist was spotted on the New York set alongside rappers A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, and A$AP Illz last night.
Little is known about the shoot, yet with it reported that RiRi is cooking up new material, we wouldn’t be surprised if this had something to do with McAlbum #8.

Elijah Blake Spills Fresh Details On Debut Album / Hints At New Rihanna LP?With good reason, there’s no doubt Elijah Blake is fast becoming the envy of many an R&B upstart.
One of the only newbies to see his streaming figures match his growing hype, the last two years have seen his brand of Premium R&B force him to the front of his genre’s class- and thanks to cuts penned for Usher, Ciara and Rihanna- become the ‘go to guy’ for any Urban act in need of a hit.
So, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that he has hinted at a fresh collaboration with the ‘We Found Love’ singer, teasing it while on the BMI R&B & Hip Hop Awards last week.
Press play below…
As long time supporters of Blake we can’t wait to hear what ‘Melody‘ serves up, and how it fares in the long run.
For, while major first week figures would be great, we’re sure the LP’s success story will lie in a journey that lasts much longer than the first seven days of its release, hopefully pulling in consistently high numbers week on week in the weeks and months that follow its arrival.
As for Rihanna, we’d be lying if we said weren’t excited about the possibility of a new album?
However, here’s hoping she isn’t eyeing a November release date, considering the November 11th due date for GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP’ and the possibility of a new Beyoncé release.
For, as much as her fans would like to deny it, Rihanna is truly no match for Beyoncé when it comes to shifting albums, with Beyoncé's lowest week figure to date exceeding her highest debut.
Beyoncé – ’4′: 310,000 units.
Rihanna – ‘Unapologetic’: 238,000 units.
