Video ~ Queen Latifah as Gwen Ifill on SNL
Spotted @ Rihanna Daily
2008 has been a roller coaster ride for Ms Rihanna and it is only going to get better. In an Oct 4th interview with All Music, Rihanna confirmed that she is currently in the studio working on her fourth album (yeah you read it right…fourth).
“I’m currently working on record number four and I’m having so much fun. I’m having so many new experiences and meeting so many new people, it’s amazing”.
She also mentioned this album will be moving into a more Techno-Rock direction:
“I want this album to head in the same direction as Good Girl Gone Bad but with even more edge. The tracks will be less R&B influenced and will have a feel closer to that of, Disturbia, Shut Up & Drive and Breakin’ Dishes”.
Here is a treat for all the Rih Rih stans: Rihanna is writing three of the tracks. A release date for the album has not yet been announced, but it will probably come out in early 2009.

“It was a big deal… I got a beautiful ring and I got him. I had no clue at all… We went to the beach during the day and he blindfolded me… and he gave me a purple shovel, because purple’s my favorite color… and I had to dig. I ended up digging through all this sand. When I found it, it was like a bunch of beautiful cards… one related to the other, and the last one said, ‘Look around, take the moment in, turn around and I have a gift for you.’”

I know how it feels to lose a mom. It is not easy, especially if mom dies unexpectedly. My heart goes out to Kanye. This is what his aunt, Yolanda told a British tabloid:
“There were some moments when she [Dr. West] dieted, some moments when she’d lose the weight, but you know how we do, we pick that weight back up and she finally got to a point where she just wanted to get it done and completely be done with the dieting. It was a quick fix for her to where the dieting just wasn’t working. Did Kanye want it done? No. But he’s a mama’s boy and what mom wanted was what he wanted to make sure she had. And now he’s got no mom.”
