There are a number of female celebrities who we'd happily walk over hot coals for. (Chrissy Teigen, we're looking at you.)

Whether it's their attitude, their humour or their sense of style, some women make us want to be bigger and better at everything we do, and for Lena Dunham, that person is Rihanna.

Taking to social media earlier this morning, the Girls actor laid bare her feelings for the Work singer, and Twitter cannot cope with the accuracy of the sentiment.

"I would literally do anything for Rihanna," Lena wrote in a post which has been liked thousands of times in mere hours.

"I just want to make her as happy as she makes me. Whatever seh needs," she continued. "That's not creepy, right?"

Reassuring Lena that it's totally OK to feel her feelings – whatever they may be – the star's followers admitted that the feelings she has for Rihanna are the exact same as the ones they have for her.

"Does it feel creepy if I say I feel the same for you." wrote one. "I knew it wouldn't. I can be your second best friend after riri."

"That's exactly how I feel with you and Jack," added another follower, referring to Lena's relationship with Jack Antonoff of Fun fame.

Some of of Lena's fans, however, decided to play Devil's Advocate with the actress and tested her limits when it came to her love for Ri-Ri.

"What if she called you at 4am just to talk from a different time zone cuz she was lonely on tour?" wrote one.

"Would you drive her to the airport?" they added. "Would you help her move?"

Something tells us it'd be a yes on all fronts.

They’ve one of the most talked about celebrity relationships of recent years, but that hasn’t stopped fans from weeping with joy over Drake’s love declaration for Rihanna at last night’s VMAs.

While presenting the Work singer with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award – aka the MTV VMA Lifetime Achievement Award – Drake dedicated a heartfelt speech to “the most beautiful, talented woman [he has] ever seen in [his] life”.

In a modern fairytale moment – which saw Drake stand in full tux professing his love for a satin gowned Rihanna – the rapper described RiRi as “one of [his] best friends in the world” and “someone [he’s] been in love with since [he] was 22 years old”.  Awhhh!

 

During his speech he spoke candidly about the first time he and the Barbadian beauty met – FYI it was 11 years ago in a restaurant called Avocado – and how despite having now achieved an “untouchable level” of success, Rihanna has remained totally true to herself.

He said:  “Some artists need to play a character to achieve success, some need to downplay their own natural instincts to blend in.  She succeeds by doing something no one in this industry does, which is being herself.”

 

Fans of the pair were quick to announce their own joy at Drake’s revelations, with one Twitter user writing: “Drake’s 29 now, so he’s been in love with Rihanna for 7 years…….I’m not crying….YOU’RE CRYING.”

While another said: “Drake just admitted he’s in love with Rihanna.  AND WE ARE OFFICIALLY WRITING FROM THE GRAVE.”

For all the feels, check out Drake’s speech in full below:

Rihanna is being honoured with the Vanguard award at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

This is obviously a major achievement for Riri, as previous winners of the award are David Bowie, Michael Jackson and The Beatles. 

Someone who is clearly very proud of the singer, is her friend/ potential boyfriend Drake.

To congratulate Rihanna on her major achievement, Drake bought her a billboard… yes a BILLBOARD!

The huge billboard reads "Congratulations to Rihanna from Drake and Everyone at OVO."

Rihanna posted a picture of her gift on Instagram yesterday, to show her appreciation and thanks. 

 

When he extra!!!

Riri captioned the post "when he extra" citing that Drake went out of his way to make her feel extra special. 

The photo has garnered a lot of attention from fans, with thousands commenting. 

One fan wrote "OMG get married already!" while another said "you two are literally couple goals."

These two famous musicians have been linked together for years now, but are yet to come out and admit that they're madly in love. 

We have to say, we would LOVE to see a Drake and Rihanna wedding some day!

Rihanna topped the Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks this summer with her single 'Work' that featured her beau Drake. 

However, despite the crazy success of the catchy tune, apparently it almost didn't get recorded!

In an interview with the New York Times, singer and music producer PartyNextDoor, who co-wrote 'Work' said that the song almost got rejected by Riri.

According to PartyNextDoor, Rihanna's “label didn’t care for Caribbean music at the time” and did not want her to record the song.

However the song “was all that Rihanna could sing around the house … she fought for it” and so her label reassessed the situation and agreed to let her record it.

We can all agree that was the best decision ever, with the song sitting pretty at number one for over two months.

Rihanna is in Berlin at the moment and when she was wandering around the streets, she came across a massive statue of herself.

NO JOKE.

The whole thing was captured on Snapchat and she looked totally blown away.

She even met the artist of the piece, Juan Sebastian Pelaez, who told her a bit about why he created it.

Nobody can do it like Rihanna.

Let's be honest, when Rihanna dyed her hair red back in the day, we ALL followed suit and either went full-on red head or got pretty little scarlet tips.

It's a time in our past we'd like to forget forever (well, my pasty Irish skin didn't suit it anyway), however, it looks like the trend might be on its way back in.

Kylie Jenner shared a picture of her new hair colour last night, and we just don't know how to feel about it.

Has this colour been done? Can she out-red Rihanna? Or is she on point?

Each to their own, but we're looking forward to seeing it all glammed up.

Drake and Rihanna are the hottest couple in the music industry right now, despite the lack of confirmation that they are actually a couple. 

Keeping the flame alive, it would seem as though the potential lovebirds are travelling great distances to be together.

During Drake's OVO Fest performance in Toronto this weekend, a very special someone came on stage to perform "Too Good" and "Work."

Any guesses? Rihanna of course.

Riri, 28, flew all the way from Paris to support her man, and headed back to Sweden straight after the surprise performance.

The Diamonds singer spent a total of 16 hours on a plane, racking up 8000 air miles in just one weekend… that's love! 

The musical duo have been in an on-again-off-again relationship for years, and are yet to confirm their couple-status. 

HOWEVER, an insider told TMZ that "He still loves her and never stopped.

"They are having fun spending time with each other. Their music together got them close again."

Rihanna is taking a stand against the pp that has been taking over the world in recent weeks.

There is no denying that Pokémon Go is EVERYWHERE at the moment, but if you are attending a Rihanna concert any time soon, we suggest you leave the phone at home. 

At her concert in Lille, France on Saturday night, Riri announced to the crowd that nobody was to be seen hunting for Pokémon. 

"I don't want to see you texting your boyfriends or your girlfriends," she told her fans during her performance. "I don't want to see you catching any Pokémons up in this bitch."

Fans took to Twitter, referring to the singer as a "queen" and a "legend" for taking a stand against the app. 

Rihanna is not the first person to speak out against Nintendo's latest craze while at a concert. 

A fan at a Beyoncé concert recently LOST IT with a person who was playing Pokémon Go instead of watching Queen Bey at work, and instagram erupted. 

 

She's lucky Solange never saw her. Side note I'm never showering again.

Following the devastating events which unfolded in Nice last night, Rihanna has taken to social media to pay tribute to the victims, and announce that she will be postponing her concert scheduled for tonight.

In an Instagram post which has received a staggering 366,000 likes since its upload four hours ago, Rihanna, who is currently in Nice, wrote: "Due to the tragic events in #Nice, my concert scheduled for tomorrow July 15 at Allianz Stadium will not be going ahead as planned."

Sharing a photo of the French flag in the shape of a heart, she added: "Our thoughts are with the victims and their families "

Authorities in France are currently investigating the incident which saw the death of more than 80 people during Bastille Day celebrations in the French city last night.

According to The Telegraph, the individual responsible for last night's atrocity was known to police, with an investigating source confirming: "He was known to the police for violence, and using weapons, but had no direct links with terrorism."

"His identity car was found in the lorry," the source continued, referring to the vehicle the individual used to plough through crowds of people before being shot dead by French police. "He had French and Tunisian nationality."
 

Numerous other high-profile individuals, including Simon Cowell, Kris Jenner and Justin Timberlake have also taken to social media to express their regret over last night's attack.

Sending condolences, Simon Cowell tweeted: "“Just heard the terrible news from Nice. I am shocked. My thoughts and prayers to all affected."

"Our prayers are with you. We must continue to spread love in the face of hate," wrote Kris while Justin shared the #PrayForNice hashtag.

Singers Drake and Rihanna took a break from touring yesterday to mourn the loss and celebrate the life of a very special fan.

Megan Flores was suffering from terminal cancer when she met the famous pair through the Make-A-Wish Foundation back in March and it seems the Florida native made quite the impression on the performers.

According to E! News, Drake and Rihanna – who are currently touring together on RiRi’s Anti World Tour – learned of Megan’s passing on Saturday and quickly took to social media to acknowledge the powerful impression she had made on them.

Sharing a picture of Megan on Instagram, Drake wrote: “Rest in peace my angel.  I know heaven is celebrating today.”

“Thank you for the moments and emotions we share I am blessed to have known you in this lifetime.”

Earlier this year, the rapper dedicated his latest album Views to Megan.

Above the credits for the album’s opener he said: “This body of work is dedicated to Megan Flores.  I pray for your well-being every day.”

Rihanna also used Instagram to mourn the loss of the fan and reminisce on how Drake had introduced her to Megan after her performance in Miami.

The star wrote: “I had the pleasure of meeting an angel on earth!  After my show in Miami, [Drake] introduced me to Megan!”

“She’s inspired me so much with her strength and her perspective on life!  So fearless and so kind!”

“It’s heavy news that I can’t slide in your DMs anymore like I used to!!  There was always a smile waiting for me there!”

“You brightened any day!  Rest up baby girl!  We will miss you!”

Attached to the message is a picture of Drake, Megan and RiRi smiling happily.

If Rihanna and Beyoncé know anything, it's how to work (work, work, work, work) a packed stadium, but unfortunately they just weren't given the opportunity to do so during their respective UK tours in recent weeks.

Despite the fact their concerts were touted as 'sold-out' just about everywhere, both Ri-Ri and Queen Bey ended up playing to a half-empty Wembley stadium during the UK leg of their tours.

And while some feared that the poor turn-out was due to a waning interest in the female stars, it turns out the rows upon rows of empty seats in the world-famous venue had more to do with ticket touts and less to do with the ladies' popularity.

According to a report in the Daily Mirror, ticket touts did what they do best and bought in bulk when the gigs were announced – we just LOVE when they do that, don't you?

And then due to their overly-inflated prices and the fact that most people can't justify shelling over hundreds even if it to see their idol, they simply weren't able to shift them in time for each gig.

So, there's that, and then there's the fact some fans actually FORGET to turn up

Rihanna fans received a number of surprises at her Manchester gig last night and among them was one of our favourite things – free pizza!

As fans waited in the pouring rain outside the Emirates Old Trafford stadium, 20 mysterious pizza-filled boxes arrived at the scene – some of which were emblazoned with Rihanna's own signature – along with some dry towels for wet fans.

Naturally the receivers of the gifts couldn’t wait to share the news of what’d happened and took to social media to celebrate the experience.

But as great as pizza and towels are, that's not all Rihanna treated fans to last night as the star put on a seriously steamy performance with none other than her ex-boyfriend Drake.

While singing Work as part of Ri-Ri's Anti World Tour, Drake reportedly couldn’t keep his hands off the megastar and even began kissing her neck live on stage.

Once again fans went into total meltdown with one Twitter-user writing: "I can't believe I've just seen two of my faves grinding on each other. Please make babies @rihanna @Drake."

Earlier this week the pair sparked rumours that they were back on as they both waited until the very wee hours of the morning to leave Nicole Scherzinger’s birthday bash at Tape nightclub in London.

And – according to the Daily Mail – back in May it was claimed the pair had been “secretly dating for months” after they put on another suggestive performance at a concert in LA. 

Between pizza and Drake we're excitedly awaiting the Diamonds singer's next move.
