Rihanna’s first collaboration with MAC sold out within three hours of going on sale, so a preview of the second round of products – RiRi ? MAC Summer – is one to take note of indeed.
RiRi Woo – the red lipstick responsible for the aforementioned “Sold Out” situation on the MAC website – is back alongside two other matte lipstick shades, the berry Heaux and violet RiRi Boy. Joining them is the Hibiscus Kiss Powder Blush Duo and the Barbados Girl Lustre Drops, the latter of which is a creamy highlighter in a rose gold shade.
They’re exclusive online at www.maccosmetics.com in North America, and will launch internationally on June 20 at precisely 12pm.

Having set records on Pop Songs, Rihanna reaches a key career milestone, as her former No. 1 on the ranking ‘Stay’ becomes her first Adult Contemporary top 10.
Madonna did it. And, Cyndi Lauper. So did fellow pop/dance divas more recently like Fergie, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry. Now Rihanna has, too.
Like those female stars, Rihanna’s career path to further crossover success reaches a notable milestone: with an 11-9 rise, “Stay,” featuring Mikky Ekko, marks her first top 10 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart. (Earlier this month, the ballad likewise became her highest-charting entry on Adult Pop Songs, having reached No. 2.) In contrast, last month “Stay” became Rihanna’s record-setting 10th No. 1 on Pop Songs, where she also holds the marks for most top 10s (23) and appearances (36). She first arrived on the latter list eight years ago with the No. 2 dancehall-ready “Pon De Replay,” but she didn’t grace AC until three years later, when “Take a Bow” nudged to a No. 21 peak.
Rihanna’s road to top 10 AC status follows those taken by other female soloists who arrived conquering pop radio but with songs that were far from adult contemporary-friendly, at the time anyway.
The ultimate benefits that acts reap from adding AC success after scoring at pop? Reaching adult consumers, who are more affluent and, thus, more likely to buy albums than younger pop audiences. AC hits can also have much longer shelf lives – by years – than pop-only titles, so a song like “Stay” might become an AC staple in a way that only a handful of pop hits do on current-based pop radio. It may also open programmers’ thinking to her prior hits. Rihanna’s “Umbrella” was too young-leaning for AC in 2007, but it receives play at the format now, just like “Holiday” has become an AC standard for Madonna.
Essentially, “Stay” might be putting a song to the name Rihanna for adult listeners, who are likely familiar with her pop culture-wise but might not have been that familiar with her music. Now, she’s gaining that musical familiarity. (So, too, for that matter, are bands like fun., Mumford & Sons and Of Monsters and Men, as acts that start at rock likewise are only the right hit away from scaling the AC chart.)
So, while the run of “Stay” on Pop Songs (where it falls 7-10 in its in 19th week) is waning, the song’s AC rise may mean that its radio lifespan is only beginning.

Of the dozens of stars who appear in Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s “This Is The End,” Rihanna might be the most unexpected. Unlike Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson, the singer hardly has a comedic pedigree and seems about as far from their brand of puerile humor as a performer could get. But Craig Robinson told MTV News that she made some truly memorable contributions in a brief cameo.
“She just improvised and was fun. It was nice to be playing and singing with Rihanna,” Robinson explained, but Rogen revealed there was a raunchier part of the story.
“You told her to take her panties off,” Rogen said.”Yeah, and she told me f— off,” Robinson countered.
Rogen enlisted a massive group of people to appear in the film, but he insisted that he wanted them to have fun and participate in only the ways they wanted, which is why he was reluctant to insist that the singer perform a tune on camera.
“I didn’t want to ask her to sing,” he admitted. “Me and Evan were like, should we ask her to sing? First, we didn’t even want to put her in the scene with Craig singing, like it’s too much — Rihanna singing — and we didn’t want to ask her to sing. So Craig thankfully sang at her and she sang back.”
Robinson said that she was a game collaborator. “She did a little move like, ‘come on Craig.’ But she couldn’t have been sweeter. I had never met her before but the first thing she did was hug me.” Rogen added that despite her glamorous lifestyle, she gave them no trouble when time came to film her scenes.
“I’d never met her either,” he said. “She was so nice. Very low key, low maintenance.”
