Her enormous fan base ranges from adults to primary school-aged children, but Rihanna’s impressionable young fans don’t seem to be a consideration for the provocative singer when she gets dressed.

The Umbrella-hitmaker happily greeted and posed for pictures with a group of children and teenage fans last night in New York. But their parents may not be too pleased when they see the photographs.

The 22-year-old was wearing a gold necklace with the words F*** You when she was surrounded by the delighted youngsters outside her downtown hotel.

The group was accompanied by some adults, who either didn’t notice or didn’t mind the offensive jewellery.

But other parents may not be so laid-back about one of their children’s idols promoting the rude phrase.

Rihanna was otherwise dressed in her typical stylish best in electric blue ankle boots, fuzzy black jumper, beanie and a matching patterned skirt.

The Bajan-born singer releases her fourth album Loud today.

From politics to dramatics: Bill Clinton films a cameo for The Hangover Part 2

As president of the United States, he certainly had his fair share of the spotlight.

And now it seems, Bill Clinton is turning his hand to acting.

The 64-year-old former US President on Sunday made a cameo appearance in The Hangover Part II in Thailand.

Extra security was added to the set for his appearance which will see Clinton play himself, according to TMZ.

The website featured a shot of the American statesman in a blue polo shirt and beige trousers.

A Clinton aide confirmed to People that Clinton shot his brief appearance for the comedy in Bangkok, where part of the production is taking place.

He was in the Thai capital to deliver a speech on clean energy.

The original Hangover film was set in Las Vegas and was a smash hit last year.

It was also set to feature Mel Gibson in a cameo role, but will now star Liam Neeson as a tattoo artist instead after unspecified objections from the cast.

Jamie Chung will replace Heather Graham as Ed Helms’ love interest, while director Todd Phillips has confirmed that boxer Mike Tyson will also be returning.

I’m engaged! Jessica Simpson flashes her new ruby ring

A delighted Jessica Simpson flaunted her new engagement ring at a department store appearance in Kansas City on Saturday.

The singer, who was promoting her clothing line, was wearing the Neil Lane sparkler — and a very big grin — as she signed autographs for fans at Dillard’s.

It features a central ruby with two diamonds on either side.

The singer announced her engagement to NFL football player Eric Johnson yesterday after just seven months of dating.

The news came less than two weeks after her ex-husband Nick Lachey announced he had proposed to long-time girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo.

“They are thrilled!” Simpson’s spokesperson said, adding that the couple became engaged late last week.
