Topless Rihanna Shows off Her Incredible Figure in Retro Knickers for Vogue Brazil

Rihanna is gracing the cover of the magazine’s 39th anniversary special, and it’s twice as nice for her fans as there are two versions to choose from.

The first sees the singer in a jungle setting, sporting an extremely racy dress that leaves little to the imagination.

The frock is metallic green and has a deep plunging neckline that goes all the way down to her waist, showing off her chest tattoo in the process.

Rihanna has an amazing slim but curvy figure and Rihanna has never been shy about showing it off.

The singer strips off for the May issue of Vogue Brazil, going topless and sporting a pair of retro high-waisted cream satin knickers.

The sexy images were shot in Ilha Grande beach, Rio de Janeiro, and one sees Rihanna at an outdoor sink, also sporting a pair of flat sandals.

The Stay hit-maker’s second cover shows her topless while smouldering at the camera with a short crop of wild, dark curls.

Rihanna appears to be wearing nothing but heavy gold earrings, deep red lipstick and jet-black eyeliner.

As she posted the stunning photo on Instagram, the Barbadian beauty wrote ‘We shot this entire shoot in Brazil with my lover boy @teamvivanco,’ tagging the photographer Mariano Vivanco. Rihanna added: ‘Brazil I miss you already#VOGUE #Brazil @voguebrasil.’

According to the magazine she flew to Brazil especially for the shoot in January, and brought along her personal assistant, chef, personal trainer, and two private security guards.

The star is currently in Los Angeles and on Thursday night treated herself to dinner at her favourite restaurant, Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.

Rihanna has been frequenting the Italian eatery and on this occasion was there with a group of friends.

Rihanna’s dress also shows off her sides and lots of leg as it is loosely tied together at her derriere.

The 26-year-old has several bronze bangles on each wrist and matching cuffs along her lithe arms, and the saucy look was completed with hoop earrings, smoky eye make-up and a pout.

Rihanna proudly shared the image on her Twitter and Instagram pages, tweeting: ‘I am the G in Vogue!! Is it too late now?’ referring to the fact her head covers up one of the letters in the magazine’s logo.

Sunny Leone Admits: People Have Seen a Sexy Sunny, They Haven't Seen a Scary Sunny in Ragini MMS 2

The Ex-Porn Star may have a sexy tag associated to her image, but Sunny Leone insists that people will get to see a very different side of her in the forthcoming film 'Ragini MMS 2'.

Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi, the former adult-film actress stated, "People have till now seen a sexy Sunny, but in this film they will get to see a scary Sunny."

Sunny made her Bollywood debut in 2012 in Pooja Bhatt's 'Jism 2' after featuring in reality show 'Bigg Boss 5'. Considering she came from a different industry, did she face any resistance from Bollywood initially? "If I had faced resistance from anyone, I wouldn't be sitting here amongst all of you," said Sunny. In 2013, Sunny made an guest appearance in Sanjay Gupta's 'Shootout At Wadala' and 'Ragini MMS 2', a sequel of 'Ragini MMS' which released in 2011, will be Leone's second film as a lead.

The actress was accompanied by the film's producer, Ekta Kapoor at the conference who stated that "'Ragini MMS 2' is most coveted horror sequel this season." When the two ladies were asked what is special about 'Ragini MMS 2', Sunny cheekily said "2 mein hamesha zyada mazaa hai (There is always more fun in two)".

Rubbishing claims that Sunny was roped in for the sequel for her sexy image, Ekta said, "She is genuinely very beautiful. My brother said he would work for free on the sets if I signed Sunny for the film. I think now there are several other actresses who expose far more than Sunny."

Watch: Sunny Leone's Baby Doll Song

The film, which is being promoted as a Horrex(Horror and Erotic) film has already generated quite a lot of hype thanks to its songs. Both 'Baby Doll' and Yo Yo Honey Singh's 'Chaar Bottle Vodka' have been climbing up the charts. Calling 'Baby Doll' her favourite song , Sunny said, " I am actually thankful to Ekta for given me the song. Every actress in Bollywood has her own song, I am glad 'Baby Doll' is my song."

Rubbishing that the film is just about erotism Sunny quips, "There is a story there. There is more to the film that sexy. And come to think of it all our Bollywood stars are sexy. Priyanka Chopra, Hrithik Roshan all look very sexy onscreen. We all like watching a shirtless Hrithik on screen because he looks sexy and am sure at that point of time no one thinks of the content. Being sexy is not a bad thing."

The Interview Goddess Sonam Kapoor on Bewakoofiyaan While Striking at London!

 Sonam Kapoor took out time from her busy London schedule recently when she was here to meet Bollywood reporter Sunny Malik to talk about her first YRF film, Bewakoofiyaan.

Bewakoofiyaan is a fresh rom-com directed by Nupur Asthana starring Rishi Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and Ayushman Khuranna.

The film is about a young middle-class corporate couple that’s ambitious and likes the good life too.The leading characters, Mayera and Mohit, are passionately in love but trouble begins when Mohit loses his job and Mayera’s wilful bureaucratic father, played by Rishi Kapoor, enters the story as he believes that only a rich guy can bring happiness into his daughter’s life.

The film is written by Habib Faisal and is produced by Aditya Chopra.

Watch the trailer here:
London Fashion Week is going on. Will we see you attend any shows?
No, I can’t attend any LFW shows this time. I am in London for some work and unfortunately don’t have the time.

You had a good 2013 with successful films like Raanjhaana and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Are you selecting your films more carefully now because expectations are high?
I am trying to choose films that push me as an actor. I am trying to do new and different things. I get bored really easily and I don’t want that to happen.

What do you want; box office success or awards?
I am greedy, I want both.

Your new film Bewakoofiyaan is your first YRF production. How did it come about?
Well, I have been in talks with Yash Raj for a few other projects but nothing ever materialised. I can’t tell you which other projects. It unfortunately doesn’t work that way (smiles). Nothing worked out but then this film came along and it was quite exciting. I really liked the fact that Habib Faisal (Band Baaja Baarat) had written it, Nupur Asthana was directing it and that I would be acting with Rishi Kapoor. When all these things came together, I just decided that I was going to do this film.

What was the deciding factor for you while listening to the script of Bewakoofiyaan?
I think it was the fact that the story had real problems and real people. I liked that. People like my character exist in cities like Mumbai and Delhi or any Indian metropolitan cities. People in such cities are concerned about their job, their cinemas and having popcorn (laughs).

How well do you think Bewakoofiyaan will do at the overseas box office?
My films have done really well in the UK and I hope that the trend continues with Bewakoofiyaan. But I don’t know. I just hope the audience understands the film because these are problems that you face in metropolitan cities in India. However, I think that most problems are universal and hope UK audiences understand them when they watch the film.

How was it like working with Ayushman Khuranna?

It was amazing working with him because he is very pleasant, hardworking and talented. When you wake up in the morning, you want to be on the film set with someone like him.

Not many expected you to work with Rishi Kapoor after the repercussions of your Koffee with Karan episode.

Yes, but honestly most of it was media created. I have known him all my life. I call his sister ‘Maasi’ (Aunt). We are family friends. I love him and he loves me. We had a great time working together.

Why is it such a huge issue for people that you are wearing a bikini in the film?

It’s the Indian mentality.

A few years ago you said that actors in Bollywood need stylists. Now a lot of your contemporaries use your stylist. Are you happy with how they look now?

I am always happy with what people wear. As long as it doesn’t hurt my eyes, I am good.

Bewakoofiyaan released in the UK cinemas on 14th March 2014.

Women Strip off To Rock Climb Completely Naked in Stunning Landscapes Across U.S. and The World

It can be a dangerous sport at the best of times, so spare a thought for these professional climbers who posed completely naked in a variety of perilous positions for a calendar photoshoot. 

These striking images show the women posing without any equipment in some of the most sensational landscapes across the United States and the world.

Adventure photographer Dean Fidelman, from San Fernando Valley, California, travelled to Colorado, Spain, Argentina, Thailand and other exotic locations to complete the 'Stone Nudes' calendar.

 This woman expertly clings on to a rock completely naked with no climbing equipment. The professional climber was posing for a calendar, Stone Nudes, put together annually by Dean Fidelman

The climbers posed for the photographs in areas from California, United States, to Spain and Argentina

Mr Fidelman would get the women to climb clothed to begin with to work out the best pose positions

 In one image, a climber appears to be hanging perilously from a large rock in the desert, while in another a woman carefully makes her way up an almost totally flat boulder surface.

‘Each year I shoot new pictures and specifically go after these trips. I start around February and work until end of June to make the calendar,’ he said.

‘All of the girls are professional climbers - mostly I use two degrees of separation on everything.

‘I know a lot of guy climbers who know girls who are happy to climb naked so they put me in touch with the right people.’

The series of images were taken throughout 2013 by adventure photographer Mr Fidelman

Mr Fidelman explained that usually the women will climb the rocks clothed before the photographs are taken so he can work out the best positions for them to pose in.

He added: ‘I have always worked in black and white - it has always been my medium... 
‘Working in black and white sticks with the fine art medium I work in.’

The 12 nude photographs in Mr Fidelman's calendar always appear in black and white

Scarlett Johansson Stepping Down As Oxfam Ambassador Over New Deal.

Scarlett Johansson is ending her relationship with a humanitarian group after being criticized over her support for an Israeli company that operates in the West Bank.

A statement released by Johansson's spokesman Wednesday said the 29-year-old actress has "a fundamental difference of opinion" with Oxfam International because the humanitarian group opposes all trade from Israeli settlements, saying they are illegal and deny Palestinian rights.

"Scarlett Johansson has respectfully decided to end her ambassador role with Oxfam after eight years," the statement said. "She and Oxfam have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. She is very proud of her accomplishments and fundraising efforts during her tenure with Oxfam."

Earlier this month, "The Avengers" and "Her" actress signed on as the first global brand ambassador of SodaStream International Ltd., and she's set to appear in an ad for the at-home soda maker during the Super Bowl on Feb. 2.

SodaStream has come under fire from pro-Palestinian activists for maintaining a large factory in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, a territory captured by Israel in 1967 and claimed by the Palestinians.

In response to the criticism, Johansson said last week she was a "supporter of economic cooperation and social interaction between a democratic Israel and Palestine." Oxfam took issue with Johansson, noting it was "considering the implications of her new statement and what it means for Ms. Johansson's role as an Oxfam global ambassador."

Johansson had served as a global ambassador for Oxfam since 2007, raising funds and promoting awareness about global poverty. In her role as an Oxfam ambassador, she traveled to India, Sri Lanka and Kenya to highlight the impact of traumatic disasters and chronic poverty.

Rocking! Priyanka Chopra And Alia Bhatt Shared Backstage Space!

Unlike some other beauty queens-turned-Bollywood actresses who'd balk at the thought of sharing anything with their up-and-coming peers, Priyanka Chopra proved to be the admirable exception on Wednesday.

The actress shared a picture of backstage preps at an event that featured her, makeup guru Mickey Contractor and Alia Bhatt.

It's nice to see a senior actress (in no way a jibe, unless you're being eaten alive by insecurity) like PeeCee seem comfortable enough to share space with one of Bollywood's brightest new talents. We can only hope that her peers take a leaf from her book.

Justin Bieber Pleads Not Guilty To Drunk Driving Charges

Miami - Justin Bieber has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving charges, resisting arrest and driving with an expired licence in Florida.

Court records show that Bieber's attorney filed the written plea on Wednesday in Miami-Dade County. Bieber already has an arraignment set for 14 February, but Florida law doesn't require the 19-year-old pop star to be present.

Defense attorney Mark Shapiro says a decision on whether Bieber will attend has not been made.

Bieber and R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff were arrested last week in Miami Beach during what police described as an illegal street drag race between a Lamborghini and a Ferrari. Neither has been charged with drag racing.

Police say Bieber cursed at an officer and admitted to smoking marijuana, drinking and taking a prescription medication.
