About Rihanna: Robin Rihanna Fenty a.k.a Ri-Ri or Rihanna sudden and meteoric rise made American Idol hopefuls look like seasoned crooners who had spent a decade on the road before hitting the big time. A native of the island of Barbados, Rihanna lived an average life and barely even dreamed of show business before she was discovered in late 2003.

Despite her total lack of professional singing experience, Rihanna was snapped up by Def Jam, and had a hit with her single "Pon de Replay" in 2005. She quickly followed this up with the release of her debut album, Music of the Sun.

Rihanna wasted no time in putting out a second album, A Girl Like Me, the following year, and her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, took listeners by storm in 2007 with a slew of hit singles including "Umbrella" and "Don't Stop The Music."

Rihanna's instant success wasn't all luck, though. Her talent is undeniable, and her personality is determined yet appreciative. She instantly caught the attention of the likes of Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Sean Paul, and in 2007, when she released her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, all signs indicated she would be a massive success. Her fourth studio album was released in November 2009, entitled Rated R, and it is Rihanna's highest.

The wave of popularity that stemmed from Rihanna's impressive debut carried her onto the small screen. She's been on Live with Regis and Kelly, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Today, and has performed at the 2005 Video Music Awards, World Music Awards and MTV Awards. 

 

She's also helped kick off sports events, from a performance alongside Kanye West at the start of the NFL season to a show for the start of the 2005 U.S. Lawn Tennis Open Championships.

In 2006, Rihanna released her second album, A Girl Like Me, which boasted the hit singles "SOS," "Unfaithful," "We Ride," and "Break It Off" featuring Sean Paul. In 2007, it was another successful year for the budding talent. Rihanna released her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad.

A number of hits also resulted from this album including "Umbrella," which featured Jay-Z. This song was the longest running No. 1 single since Wet Wet Wet's' single "Love Is All Around" back in 1994, and the longest running No. 1 by a female artist since Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You."

Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad also included the hits "Shut Up And Drive" and "Don't Stop The Music." At the 2007 American Music Awards Rihanna won for Favorite Female Artist in the Soul/Rhythm &; Blues category.

Rihanna's skyrocketed career falls down when Rihanna was scheduled to perform at the 2009 Grammy Awards show, an incident of physical abuse from boyfriend Chris Brown kept the two from performing together on stage. 

 

Photos of battered Rihanna circulated the internet days after the incident, and Chris Brown released a statement to the public claiming he was finding the guidance he needed with friends and family, away from Rihanna.

After the courts agreed to a plea bargain with Chris Brown, Rihanna fans will be happy to know that part of the plea bargain requires Chris Brown to stay far away from Rihanna.

The Poker Hiphop: Jay-Z

One of the famous hip-hopper, agent, songwriter, businessman and no good poker player Jay-Z, by his real name Shawn Corey Carter, has recently developed a new passion, for which he seems willing to allocate not only time, but also significant amounts of money.




Playing blackjack and poker are his game, beyond his special talent for music which brought significant amounts of money to his personal treasury, Jay-Z has discovered another talent of his: he loves poker and seems to be getting better and better at it.

In 2008, Jay-Z revealed his passion for poker while in London, with the occasion of a tour in UK. Back then he stated that he liked to play at the casinos in London and that he likes playing especially because the press is not always watching him.

Jay-Z considers himself to be an expert with regard to gambling and he thinks that he is difficult to defeat in poker or blackjack.

“I am a pretty good player, almost professional. I won’t give names because I don’t want to ruin it all, but there are here (i.e. in London) all sorts of private clubs in West End, where you can go and play and where the atmosphere is super cool”, said Jay-Z.

His passion for poker is also shared by the rapper’s wife, Beyonce Knowles. The diva prefers the casino Fifty, a location where neither she nor her husband is in short supply of thousands of dollars to spend at the playing poker.

Jay-Z is not famous only for his talent at poker, but also for the colossal losses registered on account of his passion. The most notorious news about Jay-Z is the one referring to the loss of nearly one million dollars on a single hand of poker in Las Vegas, at the end of 2008.

With all these, with an estimated personal fortune of $547 million, it’s not hard to see that the amount lost did not represent that much and that high-stake gambling are not a problem for the rapper. Moreover, the rapper would be extremely interested of opening his own casino in Vegas, an area which he visited many times next to Beyonce. It seems that Jay-Z intends to extend his business from Atlantic City, the 40/40 club, and to turn it into a location for gambling.

Like most celebrities keen on gambling, Jay-Z is no stranger to poker tours for charity purposes in which many important names from all fields of activity, especially show-biz, take part.

Even more, the rapper even organized together with the star of the “Yankees” team, Alex Rodriguez, a poker tour for celebrities in his club in New York, with the purpose of raising money for charity. The celebrities to take part in the event included Nelly, Ashanti, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, Dj Clue, Anthony Mackie and much more.

Jay-Z's Top Props

Jay-Z was awarded with the United Nations Global Leadership Award on Wednesday in New York for his efforts with the Water For Life program, which works to bring clean water to Africa. Apparently, wife Beyonce was a no-show but it's pretty cool just the same.
