Rihanna: Out in NYC

Following an amazing showing at the 2008 MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada (where she won two awards and performed her new hit Take a Bow) Rihanna was spotted in New York City celebrating.

The “Umbrella” songstress looked very happy-go-lucky as she grabbed a celebratory dinner with some of her close friends at Da Silvano restaurant in Manhattan.

And she looked cute and colorful in a sexy green tank top and a floral print miniskirt with plenty of chunky jewelry and a pair of brown leather strappy sandals.

Now that she’s conquered the pop music world, it seems Rihanna is interested in expanding her horizons into the world of acting. According to press she’s prepping up for her big screen debut in “Mama Black Widow,” an adaptation of the 1969 novel by Robert Beck.
