Rihanna Covers Harpers Bazaar; Dishes On Her Love Life, Her Body & More

A gorgeous and fresh-faced Rihanna is the cover girl for the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar. In the cover story, the Bajan beauty dishes on her “non-existent” love life, her body and more.

On her love life:

 I have been conservative in my love life… it’s pretty much nonexistent. If I come across someone who I find really cool, I’ll hang out. But the minute I find that we’re getting too close I just—I don’t let people in. When I was in love, I fell so hard. I was really, really, really in love. The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I’d feel that pain in my life. I’m afraid of feeling that again.”

On her body:

I don’t know if there’s something going on with my body right now, but I’m eating everything in life! [laughs]. I miss my ass. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it’s not living up to its full potential right now.”

On collaborating with Chris Brown on “Birthday Cake” remix:

The fans could have said, ‘We don’t want anything to do with it.’ I understood that people had every right to be concerned about it. But I didn’t see it that way because I’m in a different place.”

Matt Barnes Covers Bleu Magazine & Talks About How He & Gloria Govan Stay Happy

Los Angeles Laker player, Matt Barnes, is the latest cover boy for men’s fashion magazine, BLEU. In the article he talks about groupies as well as some inside dirt on his off and on relationship with “Basketball Wives LA” star Gloria Govan.

On his relationship with Gloria and disliking groupies:

You like to go into a situation saying yes we are always going to be together forever and what’s mine is yours, what’s yours is mine, but sometimes it doesn’t work out like that.

Even when Gloria and I were dating other people, when people would say things about her, it bothered me. Even though we weren’t together it was something that made me mad you know? It’s different when they are talking about the mother of your children.

In the league, women come a dime a dozen. Not to sound stuck-up or anything, but that’s just how it is. At some point you have to wake up and realize what your priorities are. Some guys wake up sooner than others. I woke up and I realized what was important to me.”

On how he and Gloria stay happy and satisfied sexually:

So sometimes that means middle of the day sex. Sometimes that means after lunch you go and have sex in the bathroom. We do things outside the norm. I think we were in London last year in a really fancy nice restaurant and….the bathroom.”

Solange Knowles Talks Fashion With Glamour France

Solange Knowles is featured in the July 2012 issue of Glamour France. The 25-year-old has always been known for her fashion looks.

On her style:

[My style] is very eclectic because I like taking risks, but always with a glamorous touch and some classic details. I am not obviously inspired by fashion and magazines. I’m surfing blogs a lot because I think it’s cool to see the looks of real people.

My trips influence me as well. I always take a lot of pictures and then I inject all those impressions into my wardrobe or my make-up. And don’t forget the icons: Diana Ross, Erykah Badu, Björk and Lauryn Hill.”

On shopping with Beyonce:

I do 90% of my shopping online and I have contaminated the whole family! From time to time, my sister and I go to Opening Ceremony in New York where we spend hours.”

On how to combine two bold patterns for one winning look:

Colors like violet or pink work very well with animal prints. And you need to keep a harmonic flow, so I try to not mix African and Aztec prints for example.”

On her must-haves for the eyes and lips:

I put on a lot of mascara but above all I use a really flashy lipstick. My favorite color is Rimmel’s Lasting Finish lipstick in Firecracker.”

On if she shops in Paris:

What I prefer is to spend the afternoon at Place des Vosges with a picnic and a book. I also love getting lost in Paris. Last summer I rented an apartment in the 10th arrondissement and I explored all the cool coffee shops and neighborhood bookstores. I feel very safe in Paris: the subway is super easy to use and my son speaks French, so, we always find our way.”

On fashion being a family affair for the Knowles:

We love fashion, but we have very different styles. I must say that we grew up with a seamstress grandmother and my mother started her own collection.”

On new projects she has in store:

I just finished my new album. I spent two years writing it… It’s a new chapter in my life. I’m super excited.”
