Rihanna gets raunchy with Jonathan Ross

Jonathan Ross was left looking rather sheepish by a "waunchy" performance by "Wihanna" on his Friday night ITV show...

On The Box, 5th March 2012

The last time R&B superstar Rihanna was on a Jonathan Ross chat show, back in December 2009, the host compared her low-cut dress to a curtain. Hopefully Ross will behave a little more suavely tonight as he talks to the Barbadian about her current musical projects and her appearance alongside Liam Neeson in a soon-to-be-released Hollywood blockbuster called Battleship. Further down the bill, there's an interview with Lionel Richie, while Imelda Staunton and Michael Ball will discuss their popular revival of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeny Todd, currently showing in the West End.

The Telegraph, 2nd March 2012
