Channeling her inner Grace Jones, a boldy dressed Rihanna attended the Intermix celebration of Fashion’s Night Out at in New York City on Thursday night.
Sporting a hooded frock and her famous Barracuda glasses from A-Morir, the Disturbia singer rubbed elbows with fashion’s finest on New York Fashion Week’s inaugural evening.
Rihanna caused so much of a uproar during her five-minute lap around the trendy retailer that one fan knocked over a rack, causing a bag to fall over and hit another patron on the head.
Meanwhile, Rihanna — who most recently has been linked to rapper and label mate Fabolous – will make her way to L.A. this weekend to tend to a jam-packed agenda. After spending Saturday rehearsing for Monday’s performance on the premiere of The Jay Leno Show alongside Jay-Z and Kanye West, Riri will undoubtedly glam things up once again for Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards.

A Detroit-area mother was arraigned on Wednesday after she was accused of driving her 9-year-old son to school while drunk.
Dena Gay Ellington, 45, of Birmingham, was arrested Tuesday morning in Ferndale.
Police said she stopped to ask a police officer at Taft Education Center how to get to her son's school, Coolidge Elementary.
The officer said he smelled alcohol on her and gave her a Breathalyzer test.
The woman blew a .29 percent, which is more than three times the legal limit.
"Very unusual circumstances, that time of the morning, a woman being that drunk," said Ferndale Police Lt. William Wilson. "The fact that she approached him after drinking, and asking him how to drive further, is probably an indication that she wasn't thinking clearly."
The officer drove the woman to the Ferndale Police Department and another officer drove the boy to school.
Family members picked up the boy from school later that day.
"Had she found the grade school she was looking for, there would have been kids running all over and all sorts of bad things could have happened," Wilson said.
Ellington was released on a $5,000 bond.
If convicted, she could be sentenced to time in prison.
The magistrate has ordered her to undergo daily Breathalyzer tests.
Ellington has no criminal history.

World 800-meter champion Caster Semenya of South Africa has male and female sexual organs, the Sydney Morning Herald said on Friday, posing an ethical and political quandary for athletics' ruling body.
Semenya's reported condition could have grave medical implications.
The Herald said extensive physical examinations of 18-year-old Semenya ordered by the IAAF have shown she is technically a hermaphrodite.
Medical reports indicate she has no ovaries, but rather has internal male testes, which are producing large amounts of testosterone.
The newspaper said the IAAF was trying to contact Semenya to inform her of the results. After dominating her race at the world titles in Berlin last month, Semenya was given blood and chromosome tests as well as a gynecological examination.
"This is a medical issue and not a doping issue where she was deliberately cheating," IAAF spokesman Nick Davies was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
"These tests do not suggest any suspicion of deliberate misconduct but seek to assess the possibility of a potential medical condition which would give Semenya an unfair advantage over her competitors. There is no automatic disqualification of results in a case like this."
The IAAF has said Semenya would probably keep her medal because the case was not related to a drug matter. But the Herald said an alternative possibility was to award a second gold to the runner-up, Janeth Jepkosgei from Kenya.

Although people have continued to place their doubt on the rapper that made everyone “Crank Dat,” Soulja Boy continues to remain relevant in Hip-Hop. Already two albums in, he has begun preparation for his third album, "The DeAndre Way".
Soulja must be aiming for the fences this time around as he has voiced that he is looking to have heavy hitters such as Eminem and Jay-Z for his third official release. Lucky enough for the rapper, Eminem happens to be on the same label with him, along with 50 Cent, so it could be possible although that is farfetched.
Concrete features have already begun to surface as the project will see Lil Wayne in attendance as well as Kanye West and Snoop Dogg. Snoop recently was alongside the rapper where he basically apologized to the young up-and-comer for initially hating on his art. He added that people like him were unable to realize that at the end of the day, Soulja Boy is just trying to create his own lane and make it in the game.
Being a producer as well as a rapper, Soulja Boy has stated that he has partnered up with West for production on the upcoming release. In an interview with Radio Planet TV, the artist elaborates on his joint venture with West.
“I really haven't produced since my second album, but I'm looking forward to doing a 50/50 split beat with Kanye West. I think that'll be hot because he's a great lyricist, but an awesome producer as well. I feel like I'm an awesome producer too, and both of us in the studio together at the same time can come out with a smash."
Since emerging in 2007, the young rapper/entertainer has been a victim of constant criticism whether it's from fans or artists feeling that he was killing the genre and calling him a one-hit wonder. It is now 2009 and the 19-year-old is still standing and continuing to remain dominant in the realm of music. He may not be the best rapper out, but he has definitely created his own lane which has been effective to the point where rappers are trying to ride right behind him. Whether you respect it or reject it, everyone must accept his presence.

Ballerstatus Reports
Since dropping his latest album Relapse, Eminem has been dealing with some things. Not only has he been doing the back-n-forth thing with Mariah Carey and her hubby Nick Cannon, but now, he's getting it from his ex-wife Kim Mathers.
Although they've been divorced for three years, Kim and Em still can't get along ... it seems. In a recent radio interview with with Detroit's WKQI, she had a few things to say about Slim Shady, reports The Sun.
They weren't very nice.
According to Kim, their relationship is so bad, she can't stand to be around him. So much so, she vomits at the very sight of him.
"I can't stand him. He's an absolutely horrible person and he gets worse every day," Kim said on-air. "I vomit in my mouth whenever I'm around him or I hear his name.
"There's nothing left in me for him. Nothing at all," she continued.
Kim didn't stop at just expressing her hatred towards Em. She also took a few low blows as well, warning his potential lovers about the size of his package.
"He's not very well endowed," Kim said. "If you're going to have sex with Marshall, make sure you have a little blue pill, because otherwise it does not work."
Wow ... is all we can say.
Aside from the Eminem bashing, it's unclear why Kim decided to do the radio interview.

“You want me to personally point out some wack niggas?”
Jaz-O was featured on Street Disciplez Radio where he was given the opportunity to speak on the status of Hip-Hop and take aim at certain artists that may be deemed as being hot and believe to a certain degree that they are in fact, but are far from it in actuality.
“One thing I have to say is a lot of these, and what makes them wack, is the first thing. There's certain lines that you don't cross.”
The first rapper on the chopping block would be none other than the new mixtape king Lil Wayne. In regards to his lyrics, rumors have been aired out for years that artists such as Gillie the Kid were responsible for young Carter's rise to fame. Recently there has been speculation that Drake has been writing for Weezy.
“Lil Wayne has a gang of writers…Everybody likes him. I would like him too if I listened to mainstream radio all the time because that's all that they play. The people that you talk to and say that he's not wack don't even realize that they've been hypnotized into liking him because when they weren't playing him a lot and had the same backing and money behind, they weren't liking him. They were saying he was garbage. Honestly, I think that he put out better material when they said that he was wack.”
Ludacris is another that was put in front of the firing squad, but there were no harsh words for anything that the Southern rapper has said. He did, however, make reference to him allowing Jay to lay a verse for the track “I Do It For Hip Hop” off Theater of the Mind where the rapper took a jab at Jaz.
“I don't appreciate Luda for even letting somebody do that. I wouldn't let somebody do that on my song because somebody might take it the wrong way and affiliate me with your statements and make it like I'm with what you're saying.”
Of course no interview with Jaz would be complete if he didn't throw the required shot at Jay-Z.
“Jay-Z fell off the cliff. I don't know what happened to him”
It almost feels as though Jay-Z continues to bring Jaz into relevance as he continues to throw him jabs. With another jab on the intro to The Blueprint III, one can only imagine how much more publicity his former friend will get now. Recently he linked up with The Game in order to create the track “Gangta's Ride” where they unleash a lyrical assault on Hov.
