Rihanna Is Sweet & Innocent For Seventeen

Rihanna put away the freak and brought out the good girl for her cover shoot for August 2010 Seventeen.   Put her in some cute pastels and soft makeup, and have her cavort in a sunlit field and voila!  Totally fake, contrived Ri-Ri.  I didn’t even know there were any stylists from Young Miss circa 1983 still working in the biz.

Grammy Award-winning singer Rihanna was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael, Barbados, and went on to achieve superstar status in the music business with the release of Good Girl Gone Bad in 2007. Hit singles on the album included "Umbrella" (earning her a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration) and "Shut Up and Drive," before "Disturbia" from Good Girl Gone Bad Reloaded brought her further acclaim in 2008.

She was signed to Def Jam Recordings by Jay-Z and has sold more than 11 million albums worldwide. A former beauty pageant winner, she went on to become a fashion icon, participating in a beauty campaign as a member of the CoverGirl family while also landing on the front of other magazines such as Elle, In Style and FHM.

While managing to keep her private life out of the public eye most of the time, she reportedly has dated R&B singer Chris Brown and actor Josh Hartnett. In October 2008, she was spotted cuddling with Kanye West.

Rihanna finds 'balance'

Rihanna has found "balance" in her life.

The 'Rude Boy' singer endured a turbulent 2009 after being assaulted by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown but she insists she has found peace at last.

She explained to Seventeen magazine: "There's a balance in my life that wasn't there before. It's a really different peace, a different energy… I'm really enjoying life right now."

The 22-year-old pop star admits the attack left her shaken and made her re-evaluate certain aspects of her life.

She added: "The assault came at the end of an incredible year for me, career-wise. Now I kind of look back on it as the beginning of a new era, almost like it was a wake-up call for me. It was a massive turning point for me in my life."

Now Rihanna — who is rumoured to be dating Los Angeles Dodgers baseball star Matt Kemp — is encouraging her fans to find the happiness she has by pursuing there own goals.

She said: "Don't be afraid to be yourself just because you're not like everybody else in class.

"If you want to dye your hair green and that's what makes you happy, then dye your hair green — no matter what other people might say about it. Not everybody is going to like you, that's the world we live in, that's reality."
