On Thursday we learned that Rihanna had announced the release date for her new album (which may or may not be titled The Wait Is Ova) as November 23 and today we get to see photos of Ri Ri on the NYC set of her new music video. Rihanna donned an eye patch and a slicked back hair’do for the shoot … behold:

Thus far there is NO information on the single or the album itself. It’s highly likely that the album will not be titled The Wait Is Ova but until we hear any concrete info, this is all we have to go on. I know a lot of people don’t like Rihanna‘s sense of style but I kinda love it. It’s different without being too showy and while it’s a bit avant garde, it’s not really over-the-top-desperate-for-attention … at least, IMHO. I think she looks cute … I am dying to hear the single. What do y’all think … excited or notsomuch?

Yea i’m excited to, but she should already release the single if the album coming out on the 24th! I mean really…Luvin’ that patch l0l
In all honesty im so over rihanna now. She just needs to sit down for a while longer. lol
She has changed soo much since her 1st album and its all been for the sales which sucks. I love the ponde replay and sos rihanna not the GGGB rihanna which all for show.
umm the 3rd pix is that what I think it is???
@Jadedkitten If you’re thinking her lindsaylohan then no. lol It looks like the little space between her legs, you can see the light behind it.
I do like the last pic though.
I think she looks ridiculous… but then I’ve never been a big Rhianna fan. To each their own!
same complaint people had about Grace Jones, boring
Ugh. Shes like kanye to me… Makes good/fun music but BIGGGGGG EGO! This girl is such a turn off.
…similar dress as madonna wears in her celebration-video…?
…madonna wore a eye-patch as well in her “get-stupid”- video palyed at the show…
….mmmmmmhhh,…just wondering…
Yeah, Rihanna’s turning into a bit of charicature of herself, if you ask me. Not impressed.
Aaarrrrgggghhh! Where’s me pants, Matey?!
Lovin’ the eye patch, lol! I’m excited to hear what she’s got for us next :)
I like her. A+!
Love Rihanna, she moved on greatly
@Trent…. i LOVE the whole “not desperate for attention” bit haha. You could have just said not like Lady Gaga.

@Grace… i don’t believe Rihanna comes across at having a big EGO. You never see her go on TV shows doing interviews or performing and raving on at how successful she is. I just think she is like Britney Spears. Rihanna is only young and this past year has been a big year in terms of how in demand she is with the media. She’s not as big as Britney, but who is? Just the “incident” has made her a larger target with the paparazzi and of corse she’s going to be all diva like with all that attention – i don’t blame her.
But Grace, i forgive you if you got confused between her and Beyonce – thats too much ego right there.
Not feeling the outfit. You’re out of your mind if you don’t think that outfit is to grab attention, that SHIRT is just screaming LOOK AT ME! I proably won’t be checking out the vid but if the songs any good I’ll definitely be playing it! :)
She’s a horrible role model to women who have been victims of abuse. I mean, I can understand how she may not want to associate herself with being an abuse victim but she is a victim from violent abuse. The way she handled it really turned me off and I can understand how difficult it could be but it just seemed to me that she was totally lazy when it came to justice being served. I’m just a little bit “ova” her.
im over her…and she looks retarded.
she’s demonic looking, she used to be so wholesome
I’m a Rihanna fan, but I’m not sure if I can agree with Trent’s comment on her style: “It’s different without being too showy”. Are we talking about the same Rihanna?! The one that routinely wears pasties?! ;-) Just had to make a little comment on that.
@Janine — Okay, I’ll give you that the pasties are a bit too much … but predominantly, she’s not too showy ;)
Uh..It’s kinda showy.
