“[It's] completely different from any other video I’ve shot before,” she told Carson Daly on his Amp Radio show. “A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. ‘Rude Boy’ is more playing along the lines from my roots.”

“We used a lot of color, but also the costumes were very Jamaican dance-hall queen type,” she added. The video is directed by Melina Matsoukas and reportedly will be premiered in early February.

In other news, Rihanna has not been seen anywhere since her Miami “concert”. Fans and people say she’s supposed to be in Japan on February 10th, can that possibly be true?

“It’s like a look into my life, behind the scenes, what you don’t really get to see, but also fashion shots.”

The Billboard office has seen its share of arguments, but few have been as heated as our recent discussion about the sexiest people in music. Many names were tossed around, and it quickly became apparent that one person’s “totally hot!” is another’s “absolutely not!” So before we started turning over desks and strangling each other with headphone cords, we decided to turn this deabate over to the real experts: you.

Little girl seven years old
faught disease never herd of
lived her life like you and me
give the hope so she’ll be free

But some of us are not so strong
and to the family all belong
some of us are deeply weak
but we still for hope all together seek

Jasmina is still with us, can’t see her but she sees us
In heaven where she belongs x2
Jasmina is still with us, can’t see her but she sees us, now I got are these photographs

All I’ve got, all I’ve got
All I’ve got are these photographs
All I’ve got, all I’ve got, It’s nothing without you
you, you, got nothing without you, you , you
got nothing without you

Sometimes we all hurt so much
remembering [remembring] their sweet sweet touch
the fact that we miss them so
baby I’m falling down
or maybe I’m flying up
please bring me back down to earth
I can’t let Jasmina go
baby I’m feeling bad
I know we’d do better girl when I was your girl
It feels so much better then when you’re in my world
today will be better girl
if it were in my own world
so happy and lovely
hey, hey, hey

All I’ve got, all I’ve got
All I’ve got are these photographs
All I’ve got, all I’ve got, It’s nothing without you
you, you, got nothing without you, you , you
got nothing without you

All we’ve got are these photographs
I remember when I used to make you laugh
I don’t wanna be stuck in the past
but you’re all that I have that I had
and I just lost that all we had built this far
That was me and you, you’re my superstar
I’d give anything baby here’s my heart
my heart
my heart

[No rap-part, if you wish come up with your own]

All I’ve got, All I’ve got
It’s nothing without you x2
you, you, got nothing without you
you, you, got nothing without you
All I’ve got, is nothing without
All I’ve got, is nothing without
All I’ve got, All I’ve got are these photographs

Rihanna was among the celebrities who submitted a request for funding to Pepsi’s Refresh Project, which doles out $20 million to various causes, and was at the foundation’s kickoff party Friday night during Super Bowl festivities. The singer is trying to raise money for DKMS, which tries to find bone marrow donors for those suffering from leukemia.

“If we win, this would really help us recruit 4,000 individual donors,” she said.

For Rihanna, the connection is personal. She was active last year in trying to find donors for 6-year-old Jasmina Amena, who died last month. They became friends.

“She was a very free, fun spirited little girl, full of energy, always happy, always energetic,” Rihanna said. “I always remember she wouldn’t sit still. She was always running around, always had a smile on her face.”

Also on hand for the event was New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, who received $25,000 for an organization to help kids suffering from juvenile diabetes.

This is Sanchez’s second year at Super Bowl festivities. Last year, he wasn’t drafted so he didn’t get to do much, and this year, his Jets came one game shy of getting to the Super Bowl, making the trip to Miami a bit tough.

“You know it’s hard. The loss stings a little bit, but at the same time we really have something to build on as a team,” he said. “You know Rex (Ryan), our coach, challenged at the end of the year, and said, we’ve gotta get two quarters better. Two quarters better and we might be playing in Dallas next year.”

The Super Bowl will be in Dallas in 2011.
