Rihanna clearly went snooping in Gaga’s closet (and a Disneyland gift shop) to get the “military couture” look for her new video “Hard.” The full high-fashion, sand-swept video will debut this Thursday on MTV.com at 4 p.m., but check out a preview of the vid, in which Rihanna readies for battle wearing ill-fitting soldiers’ garb and duct-tape pasties, after the jump:
We’re so distracted by RiRi’s bizarre wardrobe that we almost forgot our lukewarm feelings toward the song, as well as most of her album, and we’re certainly not alone: Rated-R is most likely headed for re-release, not least because there’s still plenty of people out there who didn’t buy it the first time around. One songwriter who might be contributing to Rated-R’s, ahem, “redux edition” is ubiquitous hitmaker Ryan Tedder, who told BBC Radio’s Newsbeat that he’s planning to work with Rihanna in the new year. “I can do stuff dark musically, [a] haunting kind of thing, but I want to have her do something vocally that she’s never done before.”
No word on whether “Shy Ronnie” will make the cut for the re-release, but we’re crossing our fingers, since it would be the liveliest track on the album.
MUST WATCH!!!!

Wow. You guys are wrong wrong wrong about “Rated R.”
It’s totally her “808s and Heartbreak.” (That’s a good thing!)
Wait…seriously? You’re citing “That Grape Juice” twice in an article? The Perez Hilton of music blogs? Yikes. This is the worst sign of Idolator’s decline yet.
Also of note: Rihanna has sold about as much as Adam Lambert has. So is Rihanna’s album really a flop, or is it just ahead of its time? Is gold the new platinum? (Yes.)
Right on, chachwitablog.
