2007 Undressed!
Come Pain or Come Shine: When we think umbrellas, we think
of classic entertainment such as "Singin' in the Rain," "Mary Poppins" and a bald Britney Spears attacking a paparazzo's SUV. What we
don't think about is an S&M version of "Swan Lake," which was apparently the
wardrobe
... more inspiration for Rihanna's performance of her No. 1 ditty "Umbrella" at the
MTV Movie Awards. The 19-year-old chanteuse single-handedly depletes the world's
pleather supply as she straps herself into so much bondage gear that even the
bossiest dominatrix would be forced to submit. Rihanna tries to tone down her
alarmingly aggressive accoutrements with a girlish tutu and a bang-heavy flapper
bob last seen bouncing atop the head of Catherine Zeta-Jones in "Chicago," a tactic that works about as well as her pink
polka-dot parasol in gale-force winds. (Kevin
