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".

Grammy Awards 2012: A Viewer’s Guide
Fri Feb 10 2012 by Robbie Daw
Los Angeles' Staples Center is where the 54th Grammy Awards will go down this Sunday. The CBS telecast kicks off at 8 p.m. EST, and the thought on everyone's mind is likely this: just how many statues is Britain's not-so-secret weapon Adele going to jet back to London with? Plus, will Grammy give the gift of a posthumous award to the late Amy Winehouse, who's up for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (with Tony Bennett)? Will this be the year Skrillex becomes a household name? Also, will Chris Brown and Rihanna bump into each other? Or will they avoid each other like the plague, given they that they've been rumored to be, er, "bumping" again lately? So many questions. But let's run down what we know we're in for on Sunday.

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]
