She recently became the face of Jones Apparel Group’s L.E.I. brand, which btw, you can ONLY get at Wal-mart. (It’s exclusiiiive!)

Pop singer Rihanna covers the February issue of GQ Mexico. (I didn’t even know that edition existed!) Anyway, said singer is posing out in various bikini’s in a somewhat lackluster, boring spread. It’s Rihanna after all, couldn’t the magazine’s editors come up with something (anything!) better?

Kanye West, or wait…forgive me.
