Rihanna is known for her love of tattoos and so far has at least 14 etchings on her skin. However, the Bajan beauty has seemingly become addicted to inking and may be adding to her collection. The 23-year-old visited a tattoo parlour in New York yesterday, seemingly on a mission to get a new design. Rihanna wore a short-sleeved, long, black dress with a thigh-high split. She dressed down her ensemble with flat black sneakers and carried a large denim Prada bag. Her long-flame-coloured hair cascaded over her shoulders in wavy curls and she carried a red rose that a fan gave her just before she entered the store. It’s not yet known what the feisty star had done but it will only be a matter of time before she shows it off if she had a new one added.

Her much-talked-about long, red tresses have apparently been inspired by The Little Mermaid. Rihanna tweeted a picture of herself yesterday writing: ‘Touch ups… Ariel style’, referring to the long-haired half-woman half-fish Disney creature. The Umbrella songstress was in New York to kick off The Today Show’s summer concert series. It was announced last week that the star has received four BET Award nominations, including a nod for Best R & B Artist. If she attends the live awards show on June 26 in Los Angeles, she will no doubt bump into ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who is up for a leading six BET Awards, including Best Male R&B Artist and Video of the Year.

‘I’m gonna kill ya’!

Justin Bieber’s girlfriend has received death threats after she was pictured kissing and cavorting with the teen idol in Hawaii. Actress Selena Gomez, 18, has become the victim of a jealous hate campaign from female fans of the 17-year-old star. ‘Stay away from Justin paedophile,’ one angry fan wrote on Twitter. ‘I’m gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smelly bed.’ Another sent the message: ‘Selena Gomez is dangerously close to a long, slow painful death.’ Gomez incurred the wrath of Bieber fans, known as Beliebers, after she and the singer went public with their romance. The couple, who for months kept their romance secret, were photographed kissing while on holiday in Maui, Hawaii. Gomez, who starred in the Disney TV series The Wizards of Waverley Place, was photographed frolicking in the sea, kissing the pop star with her legs wrapped around his waist. The open show of affection enraged many of Bieber’s devoted young fans who took to Twitter and Facebook to vent their anger. One Facebook page: ‘I hate Selena Gomez cuz she is dating my man’ had attracted almost 2,000 people who posted a series of derogatory comments. One fan warned: ‘If Selena Gomez breaks Justin Bieber’s heart, I will break her face I will kill her without kindness.’ Another wrote: ‘she is just dating Justin for fame’. Bieber’s huge fan base on Twitter and Facebook helped him be named as the third most powerful entertainer in the world.

Are Brad and Angelina finally going to tie the knot?

They’ve been together for six years and have as many children, but have been vocal in the past about not making their union official. However, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be changing their views on marriage and may be ready to take a trip up the aisle. In a recent interview, the 47-year-old actor says his brood may be the driving force behind him getting married a second time as they have shown interest in their mother and father tying the knot. “The kids ask about marriage,” he told USA Weekend. “It’s meaning more and more to them. So it’s something we’ve got to look at.” In the meantime, however, Brangelina have their hands full raising their six children — Maddox, nine; Pax, seven; Zahara, six; Shiloh, who turned five last Friday; and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Their lives are busy as they are constantly criss-crossing around the globe. However, Brad says they are trying to raise the brood in as normal a way as possible despite the lap of luxury they live in. “Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to recreate the kinds of moments that were special for us.”
