Rihanna Gets WET 'N WILD (And Damn Near Naked) For ESQUIRE!
Over the years, Rihanna has posed for several racy photoshoots with Esquire UK and she closes out 2014 with another set of racy pics for their December issue. And it's only natural that the magazine would tap the "Birthday Cake" singer for the issue that doubles as their food and drink issue.
The pics were shot in New York City and captured by legendary photographer Ellen Von Unwerth. Inside, RiRi shares her personal favorite recipes, including rum punch and how to make a shepherd's pie, Barbados-style.
Peep this hotness...and wetness...below:
RiRi also announced a new fragrance for females called ROGUE LOVE. Also She certainly knows how to spoil her loved ones, and Rihanna made a huge deal over her Grandfather Bravo while out in Manhattan
The “Umbrella” singer took her handsome grandpa to Philippe Chow restaurant for dinner to celebrate his 86th birthday and she looked happy as ever as she gave him a huge hug.
And of course, Ri-Ri was dressed to impress in a matching tunic sweater and trousers combo with some oversized hoop earrings and her favorite mini-purse from Louis Vuitton

WE’RE DOOMED! Republicans will control The Senate!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Riding a powerful wave of voter discontent, resurgent Republicans captured control of the Senate and tightened their grip on the House Tuesday night in elections certain to complicate President Barack Obama's final two years in office.
Republican Mitch McConnell led the way to a new Senate majority, dispatching Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky after a $78 million campaign of unrelieved negativity. Voters are "hungry for new leadership. They want a reason to be hopeful," said the man now in line to become majority leader and set the Senate agenda.
Two-term incumbent Mark Pryor of Arkansas was the first Democrat to fall, defeated by freshman Rep. Tom Cotton. Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado was next, defeated by Rep. Cory Gardner. Sen. Kay Hagan also lost, in North Carolina, to Thom Tilllis, the speaker of the state House.
Republicans also picked up seats in Iowa, West Virginia, South Dakota and Montana, where Democrats retired. They had needed a net gain of six seats in all to end a Democratic majority in place since 2006.
With dozens of House races uncalled, Republicans had picked up nine seats in Democratic hands, and given up only one.
A net pickup of 13 would give them more seats in the House than at any time since 1946.
Obama was at the White House as voters remade Congress for the final two years of his tenure — not to his liking. With lawmakers set to convene next week for a postelection session, he invited the leadership to a meeting on Friday.
A shift in control of the Senate will likely result in a strong GOP assault on budget deficits, additional pressure on Democrats to accept sweeping changes to the health care law that stands as Obama's signal domestic accomplishment and a bid to reduce federal regulations.
Obama's ability to win confirmation for lifetime Supreme Court and other judicial appointments could also suffer.
Speaker John Boehner, in line for a third term as head of the House, said the new Republican-controlled Congress would vote soon in the new year on the "many common-sense jobs and energy bills that passed the Republican-led House in recent years with bipartisan support but were never even brought to a vote by the outgoing Senate majority."
Legislation to approve the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada is likely among them.
There were 36 gubernatorial elections on the ballot, and several incumbents struggled against challengers. Tom Wolf captured the Pennsylvania statehouse for the Democrats, defeating Republican Gov. Tom Corbett. Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn lost in Illinois, Obama's home state.
In a footnote to one of the year's biggest political surprises, college professor Dave Brat was elected to the House from Virginia, several months after he defeated Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a Republican primary.
House Republicans defeated 19-term Democratic Rep. Nick Rahall in West Virginia, beat Rep. John Barrow in Georgia and picked up a seat vacated by a lawmaker in North Carolina.
After years of a sluggish economic recovery and foreign crises aplenty, the voters' mood was sour.
Nearly two-thirds of voters interviewed after casting ballots said the country was seriously on the wrong track. Only about 30 percent said it was generally going in the right direction.
Still, a majority of those polled supported several positions associated with Democrats or Obama rather than Republicans — saying immigrants in the country illegally should be able to work, backing U.S. military involvement against Islamic State fighters, and agreeing that climate change is a serious problem.
No matter which party emerged with control of the Senate, a new chapter in divided government was inevitable in a nation marked by profound unease over the future and dissatisfaction with its political leaders.
There, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner beat former Republican Party chairman and Bush administration official Ed Gillespie.
There was a little good news for Democrats in New Hampshire, where Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was re-elected after a difficult race against former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown.
But in Georgia, Michelle Nunn lost to businessman David Perdue, depriving the Democrats of their last best chance to take away a Republican seat. In Kansas, 78-year-old Sen. Pat Roberts fended off a challenge from independent Greg Orman, shutting off another avenue for the Democrats — their last.
Among the newly elected Republican senators was Rep. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, the first member of her party to win a seat there in more than a half century.
State Sen. Jodi Ernst of Iowa also won, after a campaign that took off when she aired an ad saying she had learned how to castrate hogs as a girl growing up on a ranch.
In statehouse races, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York won a second term.
Also winning new terms were Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican and potential presidential candidates in 2016.
Another possible White House hopeful, Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, led his rival, Mary Burke.
Not even Democrats claimed a chance to topple the Republican House majority. They spent the campaign's final days dispatching money to districts where incumbents suddenly found themselves in danger.
The elections' $4 billion price tag spending was unprecedented for a non-presidential year.
Shots Fired: Dame Dash Suggests Jim Jones Is Not Original Dipset; Jones Calls Dash A “C*ck Sucker”
The public feud that ignited this summer between Dame Dash and Jim Jones seemed to have settled down. That was until Dash used his Instagram page to possibly throw a little shade toward Jones.

Tyler Perry Files Lawsuit Against Alleged Stalker After Uninvited ‘Drop-In’
Tyler Perry has filed a lawsuit against 27-year-old Joshua Sole after he allegedly showed up at Tyler Perry Studios uninvited.
via AJC:
Perry filed for a protective order Monday in Fulton County Superior Court against Joshua Sole, 27, of Dunwoody, who was booked into the county jail Friday for criminal trespass at Tyler Perry Studios.
Sole is trying to intimidate him, Perry says in the lawsuit.
Sole had tried to contact Perry Thursday with no success, the lawsuit said. He apparently was so determined to get a face-to-face with the movie makerthat the lawsuit said he disengaged the power to disable the alarms and surveillance equipment at the studio in southwest Atlanta.
Then he climbed into the studio through a suspended ceiling, the lawsuit said.
Atlanta Police said they got a call about an intruder at the Tyler Perry Studio on Thursday. When officers arrived around 6 p.m., the were informed by the head of security that an “employee Joshua Sole has been acting weird” and had barricaded himself in a room where the administrative offices were located, according to the incident report.
At the time, the security head was puzzled by how 27-year-old Sole had gained access to the room.
Perry is asking the court to ban Sole from coming within 500 feet of him, and to compel Sole to undergo psychological evaluation and treatment as well as pay Perry at least $100,000. The studio executive will let a jury decide if he deserves more compensation, the lawsuit said.
The suit also states that Tyler doesn’t consider the man to be dangerous.
So, our question is — what on earth could this man possibly want with Mr. Perry?

PLEASE HELP FIND CARLESHA FREELAND-GAITHER who was KIDNAPPED on a Philadelphia Street
Police are searching for a 22-year-old Philadelphia woman whose abduction was caught on surveillance video Sunday night.
Carlesha Freeland-Gaither was walking in Germantown, Pa., at around 9:40 p.m. when a man grabbed her at a street corner and pushed her down the block into his dark four-door sedan, police said.
"I heard a whole bunch of screaming," witness John Wayne told NBC 10. "She was screaming, 'help, help!'"
The video shows a car, possibly a gray Ford Taurus, pull up to West Coulter Street, according to police. The driver gets out, walks up the block and less than a minute later comes back, dragging a struggling Freeland-Gaither. At one point, Freeland-Gaither falls to the ground to resist the man, who then throws her into the backseat.
Freeland-Gaither kicked out the rear driver and passenger side windows before the car sped away, police said.
Police found Freeland-Gaither's glasses and mobile phone on the ground next to where she was kidnapped. They picked up a glove Monday morning as possible evidence, according to 6ABC.
Video released by Philadelphia Police shows the moment the 22-year-old was forced into a car and abducted in Germantown, Pa.

Freeland-Gaither fought against her attacker and kicked out the backseat windows after he forced her into his car. Enlarge
"There's no relationship to drugs or criminal activity at this time," Philadelphia Police Lieutenant Clifton Lights said.
Family members described Freeland-Gaither as a sweet girl who did not hang out with suspicious characters.
Her grandfather, Derek Alston, said Freeland-Gaither was most likely walking home from a cousin's party to her home, just a few blocks away from where she was taken.
Her father, Carl Freeland, has posted flyers around the neighborhood where she was kidnapped.
"If anybody knows anything, please, just bring my daughter home," he begged.
Freeland-Gaither is 5-foot-3 inches tall and about 125 pounds. She has brown eyes, braided hair and a lower-back tattoo. She was last seen in a light blue jean jacket, a gray-and-white sweater and a black backpack, police told CBS Philly.
Police said they are searching for the suspect, who they describe as a 5'10" black male with a medium brown complexion between 25 and 30 years old. He has a medium-heavy build and was last seen in a dark hooded jacket, dark hat and dark pants, police said.
The suspect was driving a 2000-2002 dark gray metallic 4-door Ford Taurus with an unknown Pennsylvania license plate and an unknown plate on the front bumper and rear spoiler, according to police. The vehicle is missing inspection stickers and has an unknown item in the center bottom of the front windshield.
The City of Philadelphia is offering a $10,000 reward for anyone with information leading to arrest and conviction, police spokesman John Stanford wrote in a Twitter post Monday afternoon.
UPDATE: A bank card belonging to a woman abducted from a Philadelphia street was used the next morning in Maryland by a man whose grainy image was caught on bank cameras, police said Tuesday as relatives tearfully pleaded for her return.
Detectives said the security images show a man using Carlesha Freeland-Gaither's card at 6 a.m. Monday at an ATM just off a highway exit for Aberdeen, about 75 miles from Philadelphia. The transaction occurred less than nine hours after the reported abduction Sunday night.
Philadelphia police released a series of the images late Tuesday. The man in the pictures is wearing a hoodie, and the pictures that reveal his face are dark and blurry.
The girl's grandmother, Ana Mulero, told The Associated Press she did not recognize the man in the pictures. The missing woman had lived with her in Maryland for several years, and still has acquaintances there, she said.
Chief Inspector Dennis Wilson said Philadelphia police were working with Maryland authorities and the FBI to search the area.
Police ask anyone with information to call Philadelphia Police Northwest Detectives at 215-686-3353.

Chris Brown Issues a Statement after that Debacle!
Chris Brown decided to issue a statement after yesterday’s fiasco between him, Tamar and Adrienne Baillon… In case you don’t know he went in on them for speaking on his relationship with Karreuche and kind of insinuating that someone needs to do an intervention with her to leave him in a nut shell. Chris didn’t take too kindly to that, which made him show his behind on Social Media, calling Tamar and Adrienne some disrespectful names and putting some of their personal business on blast…. But, I guess he woke up and had a change of heart…
His team needs to takeover his social media already!
