09/08/2011 Good girl gone bad singer Rihanna is the new face of Armani Jeans. The first images of the ad for the Armani campaign have been released. Perfect timing as NYC’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week begins today, the black and white ad shows RiRi in a short blonde wig and baring her midriff. I don’t know about the pose. But she is RiRi right?

No official word has been released by the Queen, VH1 or the creator/writer Stacy. A. Littlejohn. So we must wait to see who will be the new fierce, fashionable kitty known to everyone simply as Val…*sigh*…via more
