Unlike other musicians’ backstage demands, Rihanna doesn’t ask for extravagant foods, keeping her requests pretty simple. During her tour, she asks for lots of fruit, Buffalo wings, fried chicken and white rice.

As part of a contract for the 20-year-old’s world tour, the Barbadian beauty reportedly demands that each venue supply her with two packs of pink bubblegum, two apples, two mangos, two pears, seedless grapes and strawberries. She also asks for two knives (to cut the fruit), a teapot and 24 warm Buffalo wings, fried chicken and spiced white rice. [Page Six]

I think that’s a pretty healthy diet, especially considering all the dancing she’s doing during her concerts. (More on Rihanna’s diet here.)

In a recent interview, Rihanna revealed that she works hard to stay in shape. As she has previously stated, “carbs are the enemy” to her, but she says she gets weak if she goes three days without eating them.

You have an amazing figure. How do you stay in shape?
A lot of hard work and a lot of running on the treadmill. Cardio is the key. I have a personal trainer who travels with me if we have a big event coming up. I work out every day but I need a trainer to motivate me – I don’t find it much fun working out on my own.

What do you like about your body?
My bum, and I keep working at it as I want it to be perfect. It makes my clothes look good – and guys like it!

And what do you like least?
My legs. I’m insecure about them. Everyone wants to have slim, perfectly-toned legs and I’m the same. I do weights but I don’t want my legs to bulk up so I do a lot of cardio. I’ve lost a lot of weight since I started working out and if I exercise every day for a week, I can drop several pounds. If I diet, I see even faster results.

Do you have a strict diet?
Carbs are the enemy but if I go three days without them, I start getting weak. If my trainer had her way, I’d eat small meals every three hours, but I sometimes only eat once or twice a day. I have egg whites and pineapple for breakfast with hot water and lemon. For lunch I have fish and potatoes. I hate vegetables but I make myself eat them. For dinner I have fish again.

Does size matter?
Not at all. My size varies – sometimes I’m a (US) 2, sometimes 4 (UK 6 or – but what matters is being fit and healthy. Being slim makes me feel better about myself. It boosts my self-esteem, and having a toned body helps with my job because I wear a lot of skimpy costumes. My weight fluctuates, but I don’t weigh myself every day. I’m 5ft 8in and weigh around 9st 7lb. [Fabulous Mag]

I always enjoy to see celebrities without makeup, because it makes them look like normal people.

In Touch Weekly has compiled a new batch of photos of stars with and without makeup. I think some of them look good even without using tons of makeup on their faces, but others really do need the stuff to look attractive!

Who do you think looks the worst with no makeup on?

Rihanna was spotted eating lunch with some girlfriends at NYC eatery Da Silvano restaurant in Greenwich Village. She looks so cute with that bright blue nail polish!

Rihanna is currently wearing an orthopedic boot because she injured her foot (she apparently broke one toe) during a recent vacation, but her foot is slowly healing, so she’ll soon be able to walk without any help.

Rihanna - ‘Carbs are the enemy’

Rihanna was spotted eating lunch at the Da Silvano restaurant on Thursday (July 19). She was wearing the brass knuckle heels she wore during her guest appearance on BET’s 106 & Park earlier that day.

Rihanna has recently confessed that she admires Madonna very much (especially Madonna’s ability to reinvent herself), and she would like to be “the black Madonna“.
