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?

Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has lost one of his sons in a car crash. Hamza El-Rufai died Tuesday morning in Abuja. The former Minister and Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, broke the news on his faceboook page today. El-Rufai wrote: “From Allah, we came and to Him we shall return. Please join our family in praying for the repose of the soul of my son, Hamza El-Rufai who died in a motor accident in Abuja.” See more photo below:
The remains of the female politicians, who died in a ghastly auto accident have been laid to rest at the Bayelsa State cemetery, Azikoro in Yenagoa, the state capital. President Goodluck Jonathan his wife, Dame Patience and the Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson as well as wives of the Anambra and Ekiti State Governors joined other sympathizers at a special memorial service in honour of the deceased women at the Dr. Gabriel Okara Cultural Centre, in Yenagoa.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said that he did not join the All Progressive Congress (APC) so as to run for the Presidency in 2015, but to nurture the party and ensure that good governance is entrenched in Nigeria come 2015. Atiku who spoke in an interview with the BBC Hausa service, monitored in Kaduna on Monday, maintained that if it were because of a presidential ambition, he had clear chances of occupying the number one seat when he was in office with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, or even recently when he was in the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN ). He said he let that go in the interest of the nation. Atiku vowed that he would never return to the PDP, saying that from all indications, the party would no longer be what it used to be.
