KE$HA'S DREAM DUET

Posted Aug 18 2010 @ 04:56 PM

Stepping out for an evening of Tuscan cuisine at one of her favorite NYC restaurants, Da Silvano, on August 16, Rihanna did her best to avoid the paparazzi as she made her way into dinner. For her NYC ensemble, RiRi paired a cute floral dress (try Luc by Lucy's One Shoulder Summer Dress in Floral Print or Shumaq's Isa Dress in Black) with a pair of dazzling heels and a maroon leather Chanel backpack that seems to be vintage. Still sporting her firetruck red locks, RiRi accessories with oversized gold hoop earrings (play on the floral motif with Jacquie Aiche's 14k Gold Flower Hoop Earring), a dainty necklace, and a few chunky gold bracelets (like CC Skye's Feather Bangle in Gold). I don't know about you, but I can't take my eyes off of that enviable Chanel bag and her glittering pumps! What are your feelings about Ri's look here, everyone - is it a winner or a loser? In Rihanna music news, it seems that her "Last Girl On Earth" tour opener, Ke$ha, is longing to duet with the Barbadian beauty. Says K: "I’d be as honored to share a song with Rihanna as I’m honored to share her stage during our concert tour. We were just hanging out. She’s so amazing, especially on stage. She’s such a genuine person." I wonder if RiRi would have any interest in that? When it comes to Rihanna's new tunes, Alex Da Kid (he produced "Love The Way You Lie" with Eminem) is chatting about the possibility of collaborating with her again on new music. He says, "We worked together about a year before 'Love The Way You Lie' in London, and obviously that song has helped people around her and her label say, 'Oh, that's a big hit, we want another one.' You know how the music industry is. I’d say it’s like a mixture of her two sides. It’s commercial, but at the same time it’s got an edge to it—it has substance." Thoughts?
