Rihanna Covers ‘Tush’ Magazine, Channels X-Men’s Storm In Kooky Shoot: 9 Pics

Rihanna has been unusually quiet since winding up her Monster tour with Eminem. It’s strange because the prolific diva’s annual album is already a year overdue and, with the exception of upcoming LPs from Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj, there’s not a lot of happening in the pop world right now. Maybe her new shoot with the wonderfully-titled Tush magazine is the first sign that she’s about to relaunch.

The 26-year-old serves up one of her kookiest pictorials yet, channeling Halle Berry‘s X-Men character Storm with a splash of Kerli‘s trademark Baby Spice-on-acid look thrown into the mix. RiRi always delivers the goods visually but she’s been taking things in a darker, more interesting direction lately. Hopefully, that’s a sign of where she’s going musically for R8. Peruse the pics up top.
