rihanna5 Princess Rihanna Strips Down for Armani Jeans and Armani Underwear F/W 2011 Campaign

Last week, Bajan glamazon Rihannoir gave us a teensy preview of the upcoming photo shoot for Armani Jeans and Armani Underwear’s F/W 2011 campaign. At last, we now have a full glimpse of the series–and guess what? I LIKE IT, LIKE IT…COME ON!

Like a nod to her Rated R days (sans the new platinum bowl cut), Lady Ri turns up the contrast sax appeal in a moody photo series shot by Steven Klein while flaunting her lovely lady lumps inside of a vintage Lincoln Continental. (And no, I don’t know actually know cars…I cheated.)

I seriously love that Princess RiRi and I do the same exact thing every time we jump into the backseat of a car: Strip down to our skivvies, kick up our heels, and writhe around like we’re rolling around in a giant vat of butter.

Mmm…

And now, the long awaited, much hyped premiere of Ace of Base Lady Gaga‘s new video, “Alejandro.”

While at lunch mulling over my feelings on the eight minute Steven Klein-directed mini epic this afternoon, I received an e-mail from my mother with her own review of the clip.

Here now is my mother’s e-mail, who will heretofore be referenced to as MotherMuuser (or MamaMuuse, for short).

Madonna is going to be pissed to be ripped off so blatantly. Or shall I say one-upped….the nun’s habit in latex, swallowing a rosary, strategically placed crucifix and the machine gun bra definitely are signs she’s thrown down the gauntlet! Still love the song even if the video is just the 2010 version of “Like a Prayer.”

I kindly thank you for your time.

(And in my own summation: Gorgeous visuals, Gaga loves them gays, Madonnarama ding dong.)

And now, a first look at Lady Gaga‘s “Alejandro,” directed by acclaimed photographer, Steven Klein.

I don’t know. It’s very Christina. (LOL J/K)

And that is that.

From the latest issue of Grazia: A behind-the-scenes shot of Madonna‘s advertising campaign for MDG, the eyewear line forged by the icon and Dolce & Gabbana. The campaign photos were shot by Steven Klein.

I’m ready for a new look–namely one that moves away from fishnets and leotards. Anyone else?
