Rihanna sex tape rumours

US publication Star Magazine has heaped further misery on the stunning R&B star by claiming she fears her estranged boyfriend CHRIS BROWN could release a steamy home video the couple allegedly made together.

A source who approached the magazine said: “They’ve had tons of crazy nights in bed, and Chris has recorded many of them…They both have very kinky sides.”

It’s also claimed that Rihanna enjoys role-playing and dressing up as a dominatrix and that she is allegedly worried Chris could put the footage out there for the world to see.

The source went on to say: “Rihanna has no issues with her sexuality. But she’d be mortified if her friends and family found this out!

“This whole beating incident is terribly humiliating for her. She’s already traumatized and will do anything to make it all go away as quickly as possible.

“The last thing in the world Rihanna wants is to see herself in the sex videos all over the Internet! She’s an intensely private person.”

Brown, who’s kept a low profile since their alleged fight, was seen yesterday seen at an airport in Richmond, Virginia, riding a BMX around his luggage on the runway.

Whether or not the sex tape rumours are true, this latest reports will be another blow for the singer who is said to be ‘taking a break’ from her relationship with Brown.

Meanwhile, cops were called to Rihanna’s home in the early hours of this morning.

As yet, no details have been released regarding the reasons behind their arrival at her Hollywood Hills pad.

Shontelle & Rihanna Represent For Barbados

So Rihanna’s no longer the only Barbados beauty on the pop charts, though some of you may have heard Shontelle-ella-ella-ella-a’s hot track “T-Shirt” on the air and thought it was Chris Brown’s boo.

Rihanna’s “Disturbia” is No. 1 and Shontelle’s “T-Shirt” just moved up from No. 30 to No. 26 on the Top 40 chart.

Today the video premire for Shontelle’s “T-Shirt,” a sweet ballad about missing her man so much that she adorns herself in nothing but his T-Shirt to find comfort.

Wow, what a dedicated honey? Chris Brown should be so lucky.

In some of the video clips Shontelle also resembles Rihanna and it’s mainly due to styling. Any opportunity to piggyback on Rihanna’s marketing is a good one, right? You really can’t be mad at Shontelle’s people.

Ironically, Shontelle and Rihanna aren’t strangers. Shontelle is from Saint James while Rihanna is from the neighboring northwest parish of Saint Michael. About two years ago they were featured on a song and video together. It was their fellow Caribbean artists J-Status’ song “Roll It.” J-Status was discovered by the same people who helped Rihanna get her start.

The “Roll It” video signals a couple interesting things.

1) Shontelle is the main feature. She’s got the marquee spot, coming on in the beginning of the song and delivering a longer verse than Rihanna, who is featured at the end.

2) Shontelle’s vocal style is much harder edged on “Roll It” than on “T-Shirt.” She didn’t appear as ferocious as Lady Saw or Patra, but Shontelle can bring the edge that Rihanna is missing.

If Shontelle has a Jay-Z in her corner, as did Rihanna, she should be able to bring some good solid competition to the marketplace, not that there isn’t room for both.

Shontelle is backed by Steve Rifkin, the man who kicked open the doors for Akon. So Shontelle is in a good place. Let’s see if she has more hits coming. I’m watching with interest.

 rock-star edge, Rihanna’s blazing her own trail. n an industry where image is everything, female artists tend to sport a standard uniform—long, light hair, tight abs and exposed skin.
