Drake And Rihanna’s “Take Care” Music Video Director Shares A Pic From The Set
Fri Feb 10 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Along with Rihanna and Drake's upcoming Grammy performances this Sunday, we now have the duo's "Take Care" music video to look forward to. Director Yoann Lemoine (whom you might remember from Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die") shared a pic via Twitter of himself posing with the Wireless Festival headliners on set — adding that the shoot was a wrap and ready for editing. We're not sure what to expect from Drizzy and RiRi's latest collaboration (other than that Barbados beauty will clearly be sporting her new blond 'do), but we have assume it will have a bigger budget than "Practice".

Drake’s “Practice” Video Has A Small Budget And A Big Booty
Fri Feb 3 2012 by Idolator Staff
We are sure the young woman in this video isn't the only person to ever practice getting down with Drake in a mirror, but she may just be the most bootylicious. In Drake's low-budget, posterior-heavy, super classy video for Take Care track "Practice," we observe a private dancer "practicing" some risque moves before, at the very end, the NHL performer himself sneaks in and surprises her, and uh... then we tactfully fade out as Drake and the lady practice something else entirely. Did we mention that, unless you work in a strip club, this video is NSFW? Head below for minimal Drake and gluteus maximus. More »
Drake And Rihanna To Headline Wireless Festival
Tue Jan 31 2012 by Becky Bain
They've hooked up in the studio, in real life, and this summer, Drake and Rihanna will team up to take on the UK. RiRi and Drizzy are set to headline the Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park July 6-8. Though the two artists are performing on separate nights — him on Saturday, while Rihanna will close the fest on Sunday — we have no doubt that the two will team up for "What's My Name" and "Take Care" at some point. Other acts on the lineup include Wiz Khalifa, Jessie J, Calvin Harris and J. Cole, with the headlining act for Friday not yet announced. Who do you think will fill that third slot? [Via NME]
