Rihanna Announces Last Girl on Earth Tour

Rihanna has announced that she’ll be going on the road for her “Last Girl on Earth Tour”, which will include opening acts such as Ke$ha, Young Money, and Nicki Minaj.

Tickets go on sale at LiveNation.com on Friday, there will eventually be other dates added to the tour. Rihanna is very excited about the tour and has revealed the following:  "We've never done a tour to this capacity. The production is unbelievable and the costumes, we just took it to a whole new level. Visually and sonically it's going to be a big step up from the last time. We just keep growing, and this time it is a massive production that I cannot wait for."

As amazing as the tour might turn out to be, I really wouldn’t use Ke$ha as an opening act. I feel I really have to make a statement about today’s music here, what is “Blah, Blah, Blah” all about? Can anyone just do any kind of music these days and make a ton of money? I just don’t see any talent there.

Rihanna will appear tomorrow on “Amerian Idol's” results show and will perform her new single “Te Amo”.

Rihanna’s New Single – Te Amo

It has been announced that Rihanna will perform her new song “Te Amo” on American Idol next week, which will be her next official single.

“Te Amo” doesn’t seem to be an obvious choice after her successful chart topping single “Rude Boy”, however it looks like Rihanna will make one more effort to get another number one Billboard spot from her latest album “Rated R”.

Rihanna is set to move on to something else this summer, but will release a video for “Te Amo” before doing so.

Listen to “Te Amo”:

What do you think of Rihanna’s next single, is it a hit or a flop?

Rihanna and Rick Ross Rude Boy Remix

Rihanna still remains in the No. 1 spot of the Billboard Hot 100 with “Rude Boy”. It’s the second week that she’s on top and it looks like she might be heading for a third. The track earns the Airplay Gainer award for a fifth straight frame, the longest streak since Black Eyed Peas had an equal run with "I Gotta Feeling" in July/August 2009.

With such success a remix of the song couldn’t come in at a better time. Rick Ross has teamed up with Rihanna to remix her hit song “Rude Boy”.

So what do you say of the remix, does Rick Ross deliver? As Rihanna would say: “Is you big enough?”

Rihanna’s Rude Boy Video

Sex definitely sells, especially for Rihanna. In her suggestive new video “Rude Boy”, she’s seen ridding several animals, and grinding on a “love interest” while singing "Come here rude boy, boy, is you big enough?"

Well Rihanna is certainly satisfied with the outcome:

“[The video] completely different from any other video I’ve shot before,” Rihanna has said. “A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. ‘Rude Boy’ is more playing along the lines from my roots… We used a lot of color, but also the costumes were very Jamaican dance-hall queen type.”

The Andy Warhol like video was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who also directed Rihanna’s video for “Hard”.

What do you say is Rihanna’s new video fab or a miss?

Rihanna to Release Remix of Rated R

 
Rihanna will be re-recording “Rated R” to make a remix album set to be released in February. DJ Brooklyn Zoo will be producing 10 tracks of the album.

"RockStar", "Te Amo", "Rude Boy" and "Wait Your Turn" among others are some of the songs that have been re-worked by the disc jokey. Later this month there will be a sneak preview of the album.

"Rated R" led by single "Russian Roulette" and has been in U.S. stores since November 23rd. It pulled in over 181,000 copies in its first week on sale and debuted at No. 4 on Billboard Hot 200. By early January 2010, it was certified Platinum for selling more than 1 million copies.

New Rihanna Song – Rude Boy Cover Album + Audio

 
Here is Rihanna’s cover album for “Rude Boy”, which is the next single to be released from her “Rated R” album. She definitely wants to show how much she is in control, and what a bad girl she is. Maybe she’s just trying to recover from her ordeal with Chris Brown by showing how tough she can be. I do think she could have avoided putting a cigarette in her mouth.

The lyrics of “Rude Boy” aren’t very deep, but then again they usually aren’t. "Come here rude boy, boy / Can you get it up? / Come here rude boy, boy / Is you big enough? / Take it, take it / Love me, love me."

On other Rihanna news, the ‘good girl gone bad’ is set to perform on the official NFL Super Bowl concert series at VH1’s “Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam”.

The event will take place at South Beach, Miami on February 4th at 9 p.m. ET/PT, will be hosted by Kevin Dillon and Nancy O’Dell.

The kickoff concert to Super Bowl XLIV will feature Rihanna performing tracks from her latest album Rated R, as well as 15-year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber.
