Totally unfiltered, relentlessly productive, and obsessed-about by millions—the supernova-hot Rihanna is readying a new studio album and living a mile-a-minute life.
 
Backstage at the “MTV Video Music Awards” in Los Angeles plays like a very expensive and absurdist version of high school. In a lower corridor of the Staples Center, musical cliques rush between dressing rooms, looking like underclassmen scrambling from homeroom to algebra. Popular girl Taylor Swift floats by in a cream-colored suit, pale, silent, almost an apparition. A Nashville twang rebounds along the hallway concrete—Miley Cyrus, greeting a friend and showing off her newly buzzed, blonde hair. There’s Katy Perry in a plunging black floral dress. There are the teen crushes One Direction. There’s the United States Olympic women’s gymnastics team, here to introduce Alicia Keys. Emma Watson, the actress. Pink, the person. At one point, there’s a commotion, and suddenly Lil Wayne spins by on a green-wheeled skateboard. He’s as tiny as a coxswain, a pair of red headphones clamped over his ears.

Then, through a silver set of doors, Rihanna appears. She’s wearing a sheer red Adam Selman dress with matching leather Balenciaga leggings, and as she steps into the hall, a thick crowd begins to part around her. Her entourage is about ten deep, and Rihanna steps to the front, scanning faces from behind an outrageous pair of Jeremy Scott sunglasses, the temples of which are miniature gold machine guns. Dictator sunglasses. Just days ago, Rihanna cut her hair pixie-short, like Audrey Hepburn’s in Sabrina, but to the public this is still just a rumor, and given the manner in which her stylistic evolutions are breathlessly followed, actually seeing the new ’do feels like a sneak preview of a yet-to-be-unveiled iPhone.
 

“Spur of the moment,” Rihanna will tell me later. “My hair was supposed to be down to my ass tonight.”

Congratulations, Rihanna & RihannaNavy!

Coldplay.com: The wonderful video for Coldplay’s current single, Princess of China feat Rihanna, was co-directed by Adria Petty and Alan Bibby. We dropped them a line to find out a bit more about it.

So the Princess of China video has now been watched 25m times since the start of June. You must be pleased with the response?

We are blown away and delighted.

How did you guys come to be involved with the video?
AP: I have always wanted to do a project with my good friend Alan Bibby. When Chris Martin called me to do this with him and Rihanna I could not imagine doing it without a justice league of superhero power. So I called up Alan to co-direct and co-concept. Alan is an expert director but also a connoisseur of culture and this extends to the kung fu cinema genre, something I am not nearly as versed in. So basically we collaborated very equally and did a divide and conquer.
AB: It seemed like the perfect opportunity to collaborate on something that we both felt incredibly passionate about.

Did you have lots of ideas for the video, or was what we see in the finished video always the plan?
We had tons of ideas. But with the limitation of the shooting and prep time we landed on the ideas you see now in the video. The video looks just like the video we had in our minds.

How would you describe the concept of the video?
The concept of the video was about a complex love affair. Complicated by power, external forces and a male female power dynamic. We wanted to use the trailer format to combat the tricky time signature and unique songwriting. There is only one chorus in the middle of the song and a long outro. We also felt strongly the video should feature them both in what felt like a film event. The story is sort of a victorious rōnin returning home to find his loved one has become a bit of a gangster geisha. She now has become a match for him and a butterfly that is impossible to catch.
