Early next year Rihanna, the R&B singer from Barbados will head over to Australia to tour.

According to promoters, in February as well as March Rihanna, winner of three Grammy awards, will be giving Aussies in Newcastle, Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney a taste of the stadium production for her tour “Last Girl On Earth.”

Rihanna, whose birth name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, visited Australia last in 2008. Currently Rihanna is touring in Europe for “R Rated,” her latest album which has sold over 2.5 million worldwide copies.

The new song from rapper Eminem and Rihanna, the singing sensation from Barbados, for its second week in a row is topping the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.

Their domestic violence duet “Love the Way You Lie” knocked “California Gurl,” the breezy summer anthem from Katy Perry, from the top spot.

Rihanna, while discussing the abusive relationship theme of the song said to Access Hollywood, that was something necessary to do.

Rihanna is head to the big screen. The pop singer recently signed up to make her first appearance in a major film.

Rihanna will have the female lead role in Battleship, the forthcoming action blockbuster movie.

It will be Rihanna’s big screen debut. She acted previously in the DVD sequel of “Bring It On: All or Nothing” in addition to sketch on the “Saturday Night Live” television comedy show.

Chart topper and sold-out concert performer Rihanna is supposed to be tackling a continuous and smooth sailing North American tour dubbed as the “Last Girl on Earth” this month but the said tour is hitting the rocks with more shows getting cut off the itinerary leaving fans with nothing but refund options from where they purchased their tickets.

The following are the shows axed from the “Last Girl” schedule:

July 15 – Englewood, CO – Comfort Dental Amphitheatre

July 24 – Dallas, TX – Superpages.com Center

July 28 – Atlanta, GA – Philips Arena

August 3 – Noblesville, IN – Verizon Wireless Music Center

Rihanna, both professionally and personally, is in a much better place than the pop singer was just a year ago. The fact that she is being ultra-productive totally makes sense. Rihanna continues to promote “Rated R” and will be on the road during July and August on “Last Girl on Earth Tour.” Rihanna is dating Matt Kemp of the Los Angeles Dodgers and ex boy friend Chris Brown is no longer in the picture. Life is good for the singer. Despite all of this, Rihanna is working in the studio on new songs. The girl must never get any sleep.

Drake, the young hip-hop stud, in a recent New York Times interview confirmed the wide spread rumor that he and Rihanna dated briefly last summer. That might not sound like such a big deal. He was 22 at the time and she was 21, so as expected the relationship fizzled out almost as fast as it started. What is surprising however, is Drake’s candor in speaking of the past relationship.

Rihanna is a rock star. She now has the cone bra of Madonna’s and the hairdo for proving it. On Friday, Rihanna debuted her styled and newly dyed fiery red hair when she hit the stage in Spain at the musical festival Rock in Rio. The singer of “Rockstar 101” strummed an air guitar while channeling the vintage 50’s style Madonna cone bra along with black high waisted pants.

Appearing on Eminem’s new album, due to be released on June 22, is Rihanna. She is featured on “Love The Way You Lie.” Eminem said, The same with Rihanna as it was for Pink. The album is more special having her as part of it.

Wednesday night may have been the “American Idol” debut for Rihanna. However, a fearless performance was delivered by the superstar of “Rockstar 101,” her new single. In an “Entertainment Tonight” interview, Rihanna said, it’s the first time I have performed on “Idol.” It was kind of nerve racking. We are busy with tour rehearsals which has taken up a lot of time. We had to fit it in.

Nicki Minaj, the singer, has made the decision not to be part of Rihanna’s tour. Minaj sent a tweet saying she was sorry she wouldn’t be part of the tour with Rihanna, and that she had decided to use the time to complete her new album and hoped that Rihanna would understand.
