Rihanna took it all off for GQ’s “Obsessio of the Year” issue, and explains how she came to release what being a “sex symbol” means. (We guess might be something to do with being a hot pop star who takes her clothes off.)
She took a few photos for the mag, and showed off her tattoos. Here’s a guide to what they are and what they mean:
Lady Gaga she spent some quality time with children in the slums, known as favelas, of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the middle of her Born This Way Tour.
She dressed in a pink wig, and a pretty simple dress to sign autographs, play kick ball, and just hung out with the kids. Later she was so inspired by the city, she got a neck tattoo in it’s honor.

It’s been a little while since we’ve provided an update on our favorite burlesque dancing, roller derbying, tattoo loving enterpreneur and reality starlet Danielle Colby Cushman! The Antique Archaeology office manager from History Channel’s hugely popular America Pickers has apparently been a bit off the radar thanks to her acquisition of a second home in Logan Square, Chicago, just outside of Chicago. But, her move and splitting time between the LeCalire, Iowa and Nashville, Tennesse locations of Antique Archaeology didn’t stop Danielle from taking time out for an interview and photo shoot with Pretty In Ink magazine!
Cece Frey knocked Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” out of the water Tuesday night on The X Factor Season 2’s Miami Boot Camp, especially considering she followed another girl (Paige Thomas, who looks A LOT like Rihanna) singing the same song.

The big question, though, is whether or not her signature leopard-print face tattoo is real or something temporary.
