They’ve been spotted all over New York City as of late, and last night Rihanna and Chris Brown were all about partying.

They headed over to Rebel NYC to celebrate Brown’s birthday, which took place on May 5th. But with a schedule as crazy as his, it’s no wonder they had to delay the party.

And Rihanna looked sexy, as usual, in a black miniskirt and a hot pink half-length trench coat with a pair of super-high-heels and matching handbag.

Meanwhile, the birthday boy showed up looking cool and casual in a light blue zip-up hoodie, baggy jeans, and a pair of retro-style Nike high tops.

Rihanna is returning with the release of her brand new single “Take A Bow” on the 19th May. Take A Bow is one of a set of new songs that features on the deluxe Good Girl Gone Bad album, out 26th May on Def Jam. Also released is Rihanna’s first live DVD Good Girl Gone Bad Live which captures the best of her extraordinary live show, recorded at the MEN Arena.

Written by Ne-Yo and produced by Stargate, Take A Bow is a contemporary RnB ballad with real class and has already received playlist additions across the UK radio stations, over 8 weeks before release. Rihanna has accrued multiple #1 singles, a #1 album, a grammy, over 1.5m sales in the UK alone and with Umbrella at the top of the charts for 10 weeks, and she has equalled Whitney Houston’s record for weeks at #1 of any female artist in history.

Rihanna has spent much of the past year gracing our shores, with an arena tour throughout December, a special performance with The Klaxons at this year’s Brit Awards and a sold-out show at the 02 Arena. She is now back in the US and is about to embark on a huge US tour with Kanye West, N.E.R.D and Lupe Fiasco.

In addition to her mind blowing musical successes, Rihanna also has her own charity, Believe, a non-profit organisation which is dedicated to providing medical services, school supplies and toys for children in need. Rihanna has also become a style icon to young women everywhere. Most recently, Rihanna was asked to become the new face of CoverGirl Cosmetics.

RIHANNA plans to take it easy for the rest of 2008, so she doesn’t feel like the exhausted zombie she was at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
She admits she barely remembers picking up an award at the 10 February (08) ceremony, because she was so tired.
And she’s determined to enjoy some of her success this year, telling Elle magazine, “I already told everyone in my camp, ‘This year, I’m not going to work like a horse.’ “In 2007 I didn’t really get to enjoy anything that I achieved, because I was moving, moving, moving.” She admits she couldn’t even take in her Grammy night success for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration - even when partner Jay-Z asked her how she felt.
She adds, “Jay was asking me, `How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel?’ I was like, ‘When I get home and I lock my room and there’s silence, I’ll tell you how I feel then.’

RIHANNA is sometimes tired of her showbiz lifestyle because she doesn´t always like having to pretend to be a “bubbly person” all the time.
She admits she is always forced to put on a happy face when she’s on the road - even when she is feeling tired and miserable, and she insists it often makes her feel worse.
She says, “I love what I do but, yes, this stuff does start to take its toll on you. Sometimes you get really miserable and on the edge, but people don’t know why you’re acting like that.
“You always want to be kind to people, so you’re forced to be a bubbly person, but, to be honest, sometimes I’d just like to sit in a corner by myself and be quiet.”

Rihanna’s latest music video “Take A Bow” features a range of Piaget products. The Swiss manufacturer supplied an 18K yellow gold Polo watch, and numerous Possession bracelets which Rihanna wears during the course of the performance. The striking aspect of the yellow gold watch and jewelry makes a powerful contrast against the black backdrops which frequently appear throughout the video.

The “Take a Bow” video perpetuates the success of Rihanna by re-introducing the successful Good Girl Gone Bad album, which has resulted in 4 hit singles since its original May 2007 release. The re-release of Good Girl Gone Bad will be officially available in stores after May 27th, with the video currently being widely viewable through various musical broadcasts.

Maroon 5’s Adam Levine will stand underneath Rihanna’s duet-umbrella, as the two will join forces on a remix of Maroon 5’s song “If I Never See Your Face Again.” The song will appear on June re-releases of both artists’ latest albums. Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad re-release is due June 17, while Maroon 5’s It Won’t Be Soon Before Long will be out later that same month. “Maroon 5 is a big fan of Rihanna; they have seen her at shows, their paths have crossed and they are buddies,” A&M/Octone President, James Diener told Billboard.com. “Adam thought it would be amazing to make the song into a ‘battle of the sexes’-style duet, and she was the first person they thought of.”

These days it’s hard to keep track of R&B sensation Rihanna. She was spotted on her way to Las Vegas via the LAX airport this past Thursday and she was looking fine.

The “Umbrella” songstress sported a black screenprinted t-shirt, black trousers, and a pink leopard-print bandana as she made her way through the terminal.

Rihanna was in Vegas for the Glow in the Dark Tour (Kanye West’s latest venture) that rocked the Red Rock Casino Resort Spa last night. Tonight, they hit the Journal Pavilion in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

And it sounds like the “Good Girl Gone Bad” has made some friend in the Pop/Rock world. Reportedly she joined Maroon 5 in the studio to do a new version of their song “If I Never See Your Face Again,” and it turned out so well that they shot a video.

She told press, “I don’t do a lot of videos where I have so much chemistry with the other artist.” Sounds like a winner.
