LEAKED: Rihanna – Talk That Talk
Rihanna’s much-anticipated 6th studio album, Talk That Talk, sprung a leak and flooded the Internet overnight. Her record label’s amateur plumbers immediately went to work trying to fix the leaks, but it was too late as thousands of eager Rihanna fans (and some Haters) already downloaded the full set.
We didn’t get a chance to listen to all of the songs, but here are the tracks that we’re feeling so far:

New Music: Rihanna – U Da One
Rihanna just leaked this new track “U Da One” off her upcoming album, Talk That Talk. Normally it takes me a few listens before I begin to warm up to Rihanna’s music. But “U Da One” has a nice beat that will make you wind your hips.

Drake ft. Rihanna – Take Care
*I guess I have to remind you bloggers again that the picture above of Rihanna and Drake is Photoshopped.*
Drake’s much anticipated album, Take Care, leaked over the weekend. The title cut, “Take Care”, featuring Rihanna it is something of a disappointment.
Drake tweeted a message pretending not to be aware that the album is all over the Internet. Or maybe his camp leaked it.
“I am not sure if the album leaked. But if it did thank god it doesn’t happen a month early anymore. Listen, enjoy it, buy it if you like it…and take care until next time.”
Meanwhile, Rihanna, who is recovered from her bout with alcohol poisoning in Sweden where the alcohol content of liquor is much more potent than in America, tweeted pics of herself and her staff choosing album song tracks for her upcoming album. If you’re into album track listing (I’m not sure why anyone cares about song names), the list is below the cut.
Is Rihanna drinking herself to death?
Troubled singer Rihanna performed a rescheduled concert in Sweden last night, 48 hours after seeking emergency medical treatment at a hospital. The 23-year-old Bajan reportedly experienced dizziness and nearly collapsed during rehearsals for a concert in Sweden on Monday. She was rushed to a hospital where she was hooked up to an IV and given fluids to rehydrate her.
As we reported previously, a source close to Rihanna’s camp reached out to Sandrarose.com months ago when Rihanna’s drinking and drug use was getting out of hand.
“Rihanna is running on empty but she’s still been going out drinking and living it up,” a source told London’s The Sun publication yesterday.
Shortly after she tweeted a photo of herself receiving an IV infusion on Monday, Rihanna’s camp released a statement claiming the “Cheers” singer had a bout of the flu and she was hospitalized for “extreme exhaustion.”
But there is no such medical diagnosis as “extreme exhaustion.” That is a terminology usually used to mask the real reason for a hospital visit.
Meanwhile, Rihanna’s boss, ‘X Factor’ judge, LA Reid, reached out to his troubled star with text messages and flowers sent to her hotel. Reid, the Chairman & CEO of Epic Records, is catching flack from industry sources who say he still isn’t doing right by his former friend, Shakir Stewart.
On Nov. 1, 2008, Stewart put a gun to his head and took his own life in his bathroom, just one day after flying home from New York to take his children trick or treating. He was 34.
Frisky Fan Fondles Rihanna’s Breast in France
They say French men make good lovers, but Rihanna doesn’t think so after a French fan tried to cop a feel of her breasts today. The incident occurred as Rihanna was leaving her hotel heading to Bercy for a concert in France. That’s when a frisky fan seized the opportunity and reached between 2 bodyguards to grab a handful of Rihanna’s right breast.
Rihanna – “We Found Love” music video premiere
As we told you on Monday, Rihanna’s music video for her current single “We Found Love” would premiere this week. The music video highlights Rihanna’s disturbing tendency to cling to unavailable men such as Chris Brown and Matt Kemp. Then when these men predictably abuse her (verbally or physically), instead of moving on with her life she blames them for her own inadequacies and spirals emotionally out of control.
Meanwhile, Rihanna’s successor, singer Miranda Brooke (pictured above), held a meet and greet for New York’s music industry yesterday. Unlike Rihanna, Miranda is a talented singer who has a long, promising career ahead of her.

Rihanna, Behind the Scenes of “We Found Love”
According to our Def Jam source, the music video for Rihanna’s latest single, “We Found Love“, drops this week. That should be exciting news for Rihanna’s Navy. Over the weekend, Rihanna tweeted a behind-the-scenes video for “We Found Love”.
She tweeted:
“We’ve never done a video like this before. This is probably one of the deepest videos I’ve ever done. #WeFoundLove. Its all about love and love being like a drug, you definitely get that from this. #WeFoundLove. The good feeling of love and the dangers of it. That’s what this video is about. #WeFoundLove #UNLOCKED http://on.fb.me/qytYE2
We find it interesting that Rihanna likens love to a drug, especially since we covered addictive personalities and the brain drug Dopamine extensively in our Medical Minutes. Dopamine is responsible for the highs and lows that we feel when we think we’re in love. Read more on Dopamine and addictive personalities here and here.
She also cleared up the rumor that she was back with ex-boyfriend, Matt Kemp, after pics surfaced of the two together in London last weekend. In response to an article in Sister2Sister magazine, Rihanna tweeted: “We’re friends lover. Plz.”
