Rihanna Rude Boy Stills

I know many of y’all have been disappointed in the music that RiRi has been producing lately, which I agree – her music was better before the whole Chris Brown thing. Anyhow, I guess she’s making up for it by killin’ em with her sexy, unique outfits. Check out the lates pics from her most recent video shoot “Rude Boy.”  What do you think?

Rihanna went back to her roots in new shots taking on the set of her new single for “Rude Boy”. 

“[It's] completely different from any other video I’ve shot before. 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” – Rihanna

A Girl’s Guide to March Madness

It’s about that time again ladies, where the majority of you zone out while your man or man-friend goes off on a tangent about sports! Now that football is coming to an end, basketball will be the new sports talk. If you wanna try to add some input in these testosterone filled conversations, try reading some of the pointers below I found on MarieClaire =)

1. What is March Madness? It’s more than that cooped up feeling you get from being in the house too long. It’s also the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Basketball Championship – a single elimination tournament held each spring featuring 65 college basketball teams. Also referred to as the “Big Dance,” it takes place over a three week period at different sites across the US, and the national semifinals or “Final Four,” has become one of the country’s most prominent sporting events.

2. Bracketology 101: What’s a bracket? In addition to being something that can help hang a shelf, it’s also the way teams are organized and pitted against one another in the tournament . . . and it also happens to be how you can win $5 million by playing Yahoo! Sports Tourney Pick’em game.

3. Selection process: Can you pick any team, what are the rules? On “Selection Sunday,” the NCAA Selection Committee announces the 65 team field and seeds them according to their ranking and performance. Teams can either play their way in by winning their conference championship, or they can be selected at large for having fared well during the regular season.

4. Picking your teams: Survival of the Fittest. Everyone knows a tiger usually beats a rabbit, but not necessarily in the NCAA tournament. While it’s generally a good bet to pick lower seeded, better teams in the early rounds, don’t be bogged down by stats and records – feel free to pick your teams based on uniform color or mascots, as the tournament is rife with upsets each year. To learn more, go to Yahoo! Sports and Rivals.com for more information about specific teams.

5.Cinderella and the Big Dance? I thought this was basketball! Fans love when Cinderella shows up to the big dance, but it has nothing to do with fairy tales. The tournament has its own language, and here’s how to get in the conversation:

  • A team that’s not expected to win but advances through the tournament is called a Cinderella
  • The tournament itself is called The Big Dance
  • The third round of the tournament is called the Sweet Sixteen
  • The fourth round is called the Elite Eight
  • The final four teams play in, you got it, the Final Four
  • When a team wins the tournament, they literally cut down the nets
