Say WHAT?
No stranger to controversy, you would hardly have Rihanna down as a shrinking violet.
It doesn’t take much for the groin-groping singer of S&M and Only Girl in the World to disrobe and strut her stuff.
But, believe it or not, beneath that brazen hussy exterior lies a shy and timid creature – one requiring “confidence counselling" to help with her low self-esteem issues.
In fact so nervous was the multi-Grammy-winning star, 26, before a recent UK performance, she required the services of a life coach.
The Bajan beauty enrolled for sessions with psychologist Natalie Thomas ahead of her performance at London’s Westfield Stratford City, for which she was paid a cool £500,000.
Natalie – whose website describes her as an “award-winning life coach, enabling you to boost your confidence and achieve your dreams” – admitted counselling the seemingly fearless singer at a Dove-hosted lecture entitled Is Beauty a State of Mind? at Selfridges in Central London on Friday night.
A source said: “Rihanna was incredibly nervous ahead of her November 2012 Westfield gig because there was a lot of pressure on her.

We simply can't believe it
“Her appearance fee had already been reported and she didn’t want to be a disappointment.
“She saw Natalie who advised her on how to cope and gave her a few techniques and tricks for dealing with that stress, and on building up her confidence. She helped restore Rihanna’s self-esteem and shed her inner critic.”
It’s true that RiRi was unusually covered up for the gig (left) – sporting an oversized men’s jacket teamed with bizarre baggy striped trousers and long shirt.
Nonetheless her performance was greeted rapturously by the 20,000 fans in attendance.
Speaking about her low self-confidence issues in an interview that same month, Riri said: “My way probably won’t work for most people but the more I got naked the more comfortable I got.
“I just had to face my fear. You always find something wrong, you always find something you’re uncomfortable with, and one thing turns into another and you get embarrassed and self-conscious about it – you feel like everybody can see what you see.
“It was just knowing that my body is the way it is, no matter what, that helped me – knowing that it is what it is under clothes or outside of clothes.”
Hang on, to conquer your fears aren’t you meant to imagine the other person naked?

He is the face of terror. A ruthless leader with a twisted ideology. And the sadistic architect of a campaign of mayhem and misery. And yet, very little is known about Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram. He operates in the shadows, leaving his underlings to orchestrate his repulsive mandates. He resurfaces every once in a while in videotaped messages to mock the impotence of the Nigerian military. And he uses his faith to recruit the impressionable and the disenfranchised to his cause. He is a religious scholar Shekau was born in Shekau village that borders Niger. He studied under a cleric and then attended Borno State College of Legal and Islamic Studies for higher studies on Islam. That’s why he’s also known as ‘Darul Tawheed,’ which translates to an expert in monotheism, or the oneness of Allah. Place of birth: Yobe State
