Rihanna covers the November issue of Esquire, artfully draped in seaweed and little else. The popular men’s magazine named her their 2011 Sexiest Woman Alive.
In the upcoming issue the singer discusses her pre-show warm up routine, the high she gets from performing, and the fact that she doesn’t work at being sexy.
Despite her past experience with domestic violence, Rihanna had some decidedly positive things to say about Chris Brown, “I’m really excited to see the breakthrough he’s had in his career.”
She went on to say, “It’s incredible to see how he pulled it out the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know. I really like the music he’s putting out. I’m a fan of his stuff. I’ve always been a fan.”
