Rihanna has just about everything going for her these days. With her single, "Cheers (Drink To That)," still making plenty of noise on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, she recently put out her next single, "We Found Love," which sounds like it's destined to do the same. That song comes from her forthcoming album, Talk That Talk, which is dropping next month just a little over a year after she dropped her last album, Loud. She's got an Emporio Armani commercial that just started airing. And she's also been touring relentlessly since June on her Loud Tour.
So, it's safe to say things are going well for her. But, unfortunately she doesn't quite have everything figured out yet. Despite all of the success she's enjoyed in her career, she's struggled to find and keep a long-term boyfriend since calling it quits with Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp late last year. Recently, though, rumors have popped up indicating that Rih-Rih is dating model Dudley O'Shaughnessy, who co-stars alongside her in the new "We Found Love" video (pictured above). But, has she really found love with him?
Only time will tell. But just in case it doesn't work out, we've got a few guys that we think should try keeping the Bajan bombshell company this fall. As it gets closer and closer to cuffing season—PSA: Ladies and gents, it's almost time to settle down for the winter!—these are the five guys we think should make every effort to wife up Rihanna. Find your love, fellas
Rihanna Love 1
The Guy: Drake
Who Is He? If you really need us to explain, please click the "X" on your browser now (But, just for the record, Drizzy and Rih-Rih collaborated on last year's hit single, "What's My Name?")
Why He's Got A Shot: Whether you choose to believe the rumors or not, these two seem to have some sort of romantic past. We're not sure if it didn't work out, they didn't pursue it further, or if it simply didn't exist at all. But what we doknow is that Drake and Rihanna are almost the same age (he's 24; she's 23), they're both at the top of their respective genres right now, and they would automatically become the new-age Jay-Z and Beyonce if they ever decided to seriously link up. Otherwise, we'll just have to wait for Drake's inevitable memoir to find out what really happened between them a couple years ago.
Rihanna Love 2
The Guy: Blake Griffin
Who Is He? The 2011 NBA Rookie of the Year and the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest winner
Why He's Got A Shot: For starters, Griffin plays ball in Los Angeles. Granted, it's for the Clippers, not the Lakers, but Rih-Rih seems to spend plenty of time out there and she's been spotted at Clips games in the past, so we figure that's a plus. As far as young ballers go, Griffin is also at the head of his class right now and his star would only get brighter if he wifed up Rihanna. Will she go after another athlete from L.A. after the whole Matt Kemp thing? Eh, we're not sure. But if she wants to, then look no further.
Rihanna Love 3
The Guy: The-Dream
Who Is He? Rihanna's labelmate on Def Jam and the hitmaker responsible for her 2007 song, "Livin' A Lie"
Why He's Got A Shot: Under normal circumstances, we'd take one look at The-Dream, one look at Rihanna, and toss this idea on the cutting room floor. It's just too crazy to even picture these two together, right? But outside of the fact that Dream is a genius in the studio, he also wifed up Christina Milian a few years back. So clearly he's got something going for him. Hey, weirder things have happened. Don't count dude out.
Rihanna Love 4
The Guy: Anthony Mackie
Who Is He? A young, black Hollywood actor who has made quite the name for himself with roles in 8 Mile, Notorious, The Hurt Locker, The Adjustment Bureau, and, most recently, Real Steel
Why He's Got A Shot: Go Google "young black actor." We'll wait...Hey, back already?! Uh, yeah. There aren't that many options out there, huh? That's bad—terrible, in fact—for black actors but great for Mackie, who is quickly becoming one of the most important young black actors out there and getting offered plenty of good roles. In a few years, your man could very easily be a blockbuster actor at the box office, which would make him and Rih-Rih quite the power couple. "Papa Doc" FTW!
Rihanna Love 5
The Guy: Kanye West
Who Is He? If you don't know the answer to this, we don't have the time to help you. But 'Ye and Rih helped turn Jay-Z's 2009 single, "Run This Town" into asmash
Why He's Got A Shot: Last week Vibe came up with a list of the 10 chicks 'Ye should try and wife up. Reason being? He's flying through girls right now! Whether they like him because of what he did on Watch The Throne or because he just launched a fashion line is irrelevant. What does matter is he seems to have the key to just about girl's heart that he wants right now. And wouldn't Rih-Rih be the ultimate catch? We think so. And this relationship would also keep the blogs entertained for days. Whaddaya say, 'Ye?
