Pop Spy: What's Trending Today in Entertainment and Gossip

Rihanna bares her body, soul in bathtub-set new video

RiRi has a Calgon moment in 'Stay'

For those who have harbored a secret fantasy about watching Rihanna take a long soak in a bathtub, we have good news (also, might we suggest talking to a therapist). The chanteuse hasreleased a plaintive new video for "Stay," the latest single off her "Unapologetic" album. Here's the vid in a nutshell: RiRi, wearing nothing but a diamond stud earring, talon-like nails and her many tattoos, gazes mournfully at the water; RiRi thinks deep thoughts while writhing around in the water; RiRi looks sad and lonely as her skin prunes in the water. "The video was really, really simple. I pretty much stayed put in a bathtub," she told Ryan Seacrest at Sunday's Grammys, where she performed the tune in between cuddling up with back-on boyfriend Chris Brown (cue collective "oy"). The catchy song also features singer-songwriter Mikky Ekko, but he doesn't get any one-on-one tub time with Rihanna. Watch it and tell us what you think.

She is young. .......And she will learn.  If she were our daughter, sister, friend, niece, we would all be concerned but what can we do.  Give the girl a break.  She will learn.... hopefully not too late. 
The video was nice.

She is pathetic and so are the other girls in this world who allow men to beat them into confusion.  Still a child and abviously she has no self esteem.  Stop glorifying them and eventually (with GODS HELP) they will change.  Word of advice: BLACK AMERICANS REFLECT ON WHAT THOSE BEFORE YOU FOUGHT FOR!

Love the song.  I heard it for the first time watching the Grammy's and was encaptured by it's simplicity.  Very happy to see her just stand there an sing....beautiful.

Of course she has a lot on her mind.  Don't we all?  And for all of you quick to judge.....so you are in the perfect relationship with the perfect person?  Not a fan of Chris Brown, but you aren't her and you aren't there.

Like the song.....but the video is BORING!!  Why would she or the director or anybody think we'd enjoy just staring at her close up for 4 minutes? AWKWARD!!  UNCOMFORTABLE!!

I understand how hard and confusing it is to live with a person who you just don't know if you should be with or not.  Many a night I have soaked in the tub wondering if I should stay with my abusive boyfriend.  Alcoholism made him evil but when sober he can be the man that I always dreamed of and he was always a great father to his kids.
Sitting there soaking the always present emotional and sometimes physical bruises out, not quite able to convincingly say "I want you to stay"...  Stay true to yourself always!!!!

I thought it was rather artistic.  I didn't find it tasteless or sexually-provocative.

WHat happened to her upper lip? I couldn't take my eyes off it thinking is that natural or she have an accident with a Vshaped wood chisle as a kid? Never been a fan of musicians showing skin to sell a song. I prefer talent. Lorreena McKennitt is total talent. Patsy Cline was total talent.

there is NO NUDITY in that video except inpeoples' imagination.  Why are women afraid to show their nipples? It is because of the allure.  they feel that they will lose power with each nipple shown.  The reason that it was advertised that their was nudity so men could "imagine it"  since it was advertised "there must be nudity" and then women will call us "perverts" because we want to see nipple.  Well, to them, I say that they created the "male pervert"  the more that they do not showe their nipples, the more we want to see them--get the picture?   the women are the perverts!!!
