Rihanna Goes Blonde On The Set Of 'You Da One' (PHOTOS)

After going all PSA on us in her "We Found Love" video, it looks like Rihanna's lightening up the mood on the set of her "You Da One" video. Several photos from the shoot have recently surfaced, and not only do they show her making all sorts of badass snarly faces (she's so good at those), but HELLO! She's got new short, blonde locks!
Ensemble-wise, Ri dons a white hat with a matching blouse, jeans shorts and bird-print black leggings. She also carries a cane, which, in combination with her outfit, looks to us like a shout-out to "A Clockwork Orange." Or maybe she's paying homage to Britney Spears' FLAWLESS cane dancing scene in "Stronger."
Because the stills don't reveal much of a plot, we're going to use the lyrics to imagine a potential story line. Rihanna sings, "Yes, I'm kind of crazy/That's what happens, baby/When you put it down, you shouldn't have given it to me good like that." Ri's never been shy about telling us how she loves to get it on with her man, so maybe she's using the cane as some sort of... bedroom prop? Or perhaps she's about to play strip poker, which is why she added one more layer by wearing leggings under her shorts. (Does her custom fanged grill count as an item of clothing, too?) Strategy!
Whatever the case may be, you and I both know that we're gonna love whatever the eff she comes up. IT'S RIHANNA, duh. (Hopefully it has nothing to do with that eyedrop scene in "A Clockwork Orange," though. #forevernightmares)

Adele Is Lovely In Leopard, Completely GORG On The Cover Of Cosmo (PHOTO)

It almost feels weird to talk about how beautiful Adele looks on the cover of December's Cosmopolitan because honestly, it doesn't even matter! When you have a voice like Adele's, you could literally have an excess amount of facial hair and wear an old trash bag every day and still be considered the best of the best. But it doesn't hurt that Adele is like, ULTRA MEGA GORG.
In her Cosmo cover shot, Adele rocks a sexy leopard print V-neck dress with complementary red jewels. Her hair has volume for days while her makeup is old Hollywood glam. And why the eff wouldn't it be? Have you seen those cheekbones? Uh-duh.
In the spread, Adele discusses the painful breakup that inspired her smash hit and 2011 VMA Video Of The Year nominee "Rolling In The Deep" and reveals her two all-time favorite vocalists: "My favorite singers are Etta James and Aretha Franklin. If you were to look up the word 'singer' in the dictionary, you'd see their names. Not mine." OK, we don't usually like to make a habit out of arguing with superstars or anything, but we're gonna have to call you out out on this one, Adele! Your name is definitely listed under "singer" in the dictionary, in addition to descriptive adjectives such as "perfect," "humble," "successful" and "pretty." Flaunt that ish, girl. (In case you're curious, yes, I am obsessed with Adele, and no, I don't feel the need to hide it.)

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she just received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2011 VMAs. Or maybe it's because she courtesy kissed Lady Gaga Jo Calderone. Or, maybe it's just 'cause she lap-danced DJ Pauly D's neck (neck-danced?) while on her "Femme Fatale" tour. But whatever it is, Britney Spears is looking DAYUM GOOD on the cover of the October issue of Glamour UK.
Wearing a long-sleeve, metallic, blue-and-gray-ombre dress (and are those OSTRICH FEATHERS? TO DIE!), Britney is working some intensely effective eyeliner along with some immaculate blonde hair. After the smokin' hot cover shoot was complete, Britney tweeted: "had so much fun doing this shoot for @GlamourMagUK! Can't wait to see all my UK fans next month… -Brit." Now, we're gonna call this out real quick and say that Britney doesn't exactly look like, well, she had any fun taking this picture. Instead, Brit's got the smoldering stare of a love criminal. (If you want our professional opinion, Britney's saying this: "Don't mess with me. I could outsell you in like, five seconds flat so fall back." No, seriously.
And speaking of "Criminal," Britney just tweeted that she'll be shooting her "Criminal" video there. Britney for Queen!
In the rest of the Glamour spread, Britney rocks a very slinky lingerie top, a skintight black dress with thigh-high lace-up boots, and of course, a barely there boudoir ensemble that's hidden beneath what we're sure are 9,000-thread-count Pratesi sheets. Werquit, girl.

The Most Incredible VMA Photos Ever!
Posted 8/25/11 6:21 pm ET by Nicole James in Celebrity, Music, Must See, Photos, VMAs
The VMAs are home to some of the most memorable moments in pop music and pop culture history. From the time Madonna stunned audiences at the very first VMAs in 1984, hitting the stage in risque bridal attire for her "Like A Virgin" performance, Eminem's army of Eminems at the 2000 VMAs, Britney and Madonna's jaw-dropping kiss in 2003, through Lady Gaga's almost unbelievable meat dress at the 2010 VMAs, the VMAs are known for leaving an indelible mark on the pop landscape.
So, we approach the 28th VMAs, to honor the VMA's rich tradition of leaving people talking (and wondering what meat feels like against human flesh), we're taking a year-by-year look at the most epic, most incredible VMA moments of all time in our MOST INCREDIBLE VMA MOMENTS EVER PHOTO GALLERY!
We've highlighted one photo from every year of the VMAs, including some of the ubiquitous stand-out moments, like Britney Spears presenting Michael Jackson with a birthday cake in 2002, as well as some of the more intimate moments backstage that you may have missed, like a very smiley Kurt Cobain getting ready for the 1992 VMAs with his Nirvana bandmates.
Check out some of our all-time favorite most epic VMAs photos, and be sure to check out the entire MOST INCREDIBLE VMA MOMENTS EVER PHOTO GALLERY! And don't forget to tune in to the VMAs this Sunday, August 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT to see what 2011 has in store.

Before Madonna was seeing "rays of light" and practicing pilates 30 hours a day, the superstar was teaching us how to "Vogue" in Victorian-era costumes at the 1990 VMAs. She's not the supposed "Queen Of Pop" for nothing -- this performance is an all-time stand-out.

Hugs are the universal medicine, y'all. You know when you're having one of those days when you miss your train and you get fired and you forgot your umbrella and your boyfriend breaks up with you after he fell in love with your best friend and your cat runs away and you get mugged and all you want is a hug? (OK, a day like that would probably require some kind of prescription, TBH.) Well, indulge in our Celebrity Hugs photo gallery and soak in all the luuuuurve!
In addition to this UH-dorable pic of Britney Spears and lil' sis Jamie Lynn from way back in 2003, take a look through some of our other favorite celeb hugging moments below and in our Celebrity Hugs Photo Gallery, and imagine their bodies pressed up against yours. I mean, look at the photos and only think about G-rated things. Yay, hugs!

PHOTO: Beyoncé Wears Her Star Power On The Cover Of September's InStyle

Last time we brought you a Beyoncé magazine cover, we concluded that the only logical explanation for her looking this beautiful all the effing time was that she has to be some kind of robot or something. And here we are again: Beyoncé's on September's InStyle. It is absolutely not normal for a real, live human being to be this devoid of flaws. Confirmed: Girlfriend's a beauty robot. Any questions?
Donning a metallic, star-covered Dolce & Gabbana minidress on the cover, Beyoncé opens up about her career, her happiness and her commitment to hubby Jay-Z inside the issue. On her ability to balance ambition with family, she says, "I have no regrets because my job kept me focused. When you're young -- 18 or 19 -- you have the energy and drive. That’s the time to work as hard as you can. Now I'm a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children." May we just pause for a second to daydream about the TOTALLY BANANAS outfits Jay and Bey would dress their tots in? That's reason enough for these two to procreate, IMHO.
The "Best Thing I Never Had" singer also discusses her favorite downtime activities, which may or may not include vegging on the couch and watching "The Jersey Shore." See? Told ya. Literally perfect in every way.

A lot of people might look at this photo of Jared Leto and think, "Hello, abs. How are you this fine evening?" Not us, guys. We're allllll business here at Buzzworthy. There's no way we would ever just arbitrarily show you a bunch of photos of our favorite shirtless guys without a very scholarly reason behind it.
That reason being music, obvs. Hence the beautiful informative photo gallery we've compiled of our favorite shirtless bros to remind you, faithful readers, about some of our favorite male musicians' songs and talents, duhhhh. Sure, you could literally wash your clothes on the Thirty Seconds To Mars frontman's stomach, but we're not even salivating thinking about that. We're thinking about "Hurricane" and how hot Jared looked in the video what an accomplishment it was for the band.
Take a look through our Shirtless Bros Photo Gallery, and peep some of our faves below while you contemplate their musical finesse and prowess.

PHOTO: Taylor Swift Takes The After-Party To The Lincoln Memorial

Isn't it refreshing to see a super-famous pop star take time out of her busy schedule to honor our country's founding fathers? OK, so maybe Abraham Lincoln wasn't technically a founding father, but the 16th president of the United States did hook us up with some dope ways to better our country and stuff. Yay, history!
After her show in D.C., a casually dressed Taylor Swift (WAIT, BUT IS THAT A CAT FACE ON HER SHIRT?) and friends visited the famed Lincoln Memorial. She tweeted along with a pic, "It was my first time seeing the Lincoln Memorial up close (missed the school trip in eighth grade cause I had a show)." I guess being a famous kid does have its drawbacks. Sure, you're making millions and living out your dream of singing to thousands of fans at a time, but you're missing out on a seriously character-building eighth-grade trip to D.C.! And I'm not even kidding! I have very fond memories of my class trip to see Abe.
Even though she's a few years late, how cool is it that Taylor Swift chose to pay homage to Abraham Lincoln after her show instead of going to da club and getting tipsy? Great choices, Tay. You know how to make 'em.
PHOTO: Jennifer Lopez Is Stunning And Single On The Cover Of September's Vanity Fair

It's been more than a couple weeks now, but we're still nursing the wounds incurred by the tragic news that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were splitting up. The desert dancing in the new Marc and Pitbull video "Rain Over Me" helped us feel a little bit better, but the gorgeous new cover shot of J. Lo on the coveted September issue of Vanity Fair will undoubtedly help us take crucial steps forward in the healing process.
Looking impeccably chic in a super-deep V-cut white top, in her first interview postbreakup, Jennifer is candid about the issues in her marriage but keeps it classy by refusing to air her dirty laundry. The "On The Floor" singer dances around the issues a little bit yet leaves plenty of room for curious onlookers to read between the lines: "This was the hardest decision I've ever had to face. I really wanted this family to work... We both did... But I remain an eternal optimist about love." J. Lo then confidently declares, "To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself -- if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now."
We agree with Jennifer Lopez -- self-love is the key to lasting happiness. Self-love, and a big, fat check from "American Idol."

Guys, remember the good ol' days when Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were still a couple? Us too! It was just last week! But alas, relationships come and go. Time marches on! Things change! Etc.! [Insert sad Snoopy GIF.]
Because we haven't been able to stop crying (not really -- we have jobs and pizza and stuff), we figured what better way to exorcise our collective breakup demons than to look at pictures of celebrities who have broken up too. Hence Buzzworthy's Saddest Celebrity Breakups photo gallery!
After the jump, take a look back to see whose splits made us the saddest. And in case you're feeling melancholy about an ex, remember that It Gets Better with the help of these wise words from Destiny's Child: "You thought that I was stressed without ya, but I'm chillin'/Thought I wouldn't sell with out ya, sold nine million." Keep on keepin' on, y'all.
