Rihanna likes bedroom domination

The 'S&M' hitmaker - who is currently single - is happy to be forthright and forceful in her everyday life, but says when it comes to sex, she wants to be treated "like a lady".

Explaining why she likes a man to take charge, she said: "I play a very dominant role in my life, in every aspect of it. And I like to feel like a lady still, at some point.

"I feel like that's the time when a guy really gets to be a man, and I get to be a woman. And if I'm being a man in the bedroom too, there's nothing really in it for me."

The red-haired beauty also spoke of her frustration that she can't act like a "rock star" and have more fun in her career because she is a role model for many young girls.

She told the September issue of America's Glamour magazine: "I want to set the right example and, at the same time, live my life..I feel like pop stars can't be rock stars anymore because they have to be role models, and it takes the fun out of it for us, because we just want to have fun with art."

However, the 23-year-old pop superstar admits her image now is much more how she wants it to be than it was when she first shot to fame six years ago.

She explained: "In the beginning of my career, it was really strict for me. I couldn't wear pink or red lipstick; it was just bizarre. We had a young fan base, and they were trying to keep me fresh. But I just really wanted to be myself. I wanted to be sassy, the attitude, all these things that I am."

Cat Deeley fearless thanks to Hollywood

British TV host Cat Deeley says moving to Hollywood has made her more fearless.

Cat Deeley says Hollywood has made her more fearless.

The British presenter moved to the US in 2006 to present 'So You Think You Can Dance' and thinks moving Stateside has made her more willing to take risks in her career.

She said: I've always had a good dose of ambition and Hollywood has made me more fearless. I think if you feel too safe or secure, you become complacent.

"What you say no to is kind of more important than what you say yes to."

Cat produced 'Royally Mad' for BBC America earlier this year and admits she is keen to take on more behind-the-scenes work.

She said: "I like challenging myself and I love anything I have to research. When I'm interviewing someone I'll collect every bit of information I can on them, so producing, where you're working on something from scratch, is fascinating for me. I definitely want to do more."

Girls urged to strip to support Putin

In a bid to support Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in a presidential vote, an online campaign has been launched urging young women to support him by taking off their clothes.

Called ‘Putin's Army’, it features a video of a blonde student called Diana who struts along Moscow's streets in high heels and a black suit before scrawling "I will tear my clothes off for Putin" on a white top in red lipstick and starting to undo her clothes, reports the Telegraph.

Inviting girls to strip off for Putin for the chance of winning an iPad2, the campaign comes ahead of the March 2012 presidential vote. Putin was president between 2000-2008 before handing the reins to his protege Dmitry Medvedev.

Widely seen as Russia's key decision-maker, Putin may return to the Kremlin next year.

"The goal: For Putin to be president!" said a statement on its page on social networking site vkontakte.ru/armiaputina.

It is unclear who orchestrated the campaign, which was posted on the blog of parliamentarian Kirill Shchitov, from Putin's ruling United Russia party.

Money tips for college students

Being a student these days is not always easy, especially when it comes to financces. As a student its really easy to fall behind financially. As the school year progresses it gets even harder to keep up with all the expenses. Working through university is not an easy task, and I for one never seem to break even. In the past first few years of school, I have had to take out bad credit pay day loans to help me cover all of my monthly expenses. Although not entirely proud of it, I have come to appreciate the fact that I have had the chance to take out a loan like this to help me out. Now being in my final year of school, I have come up with a system and budgeting plan that has helped me cover all of my expenses and leave me with extra money to spend, so I wanted to share my simple tips with you in the hopes that you too can find a way to stretch your money and live a comfortable student life.

A lot of students get financial aid these days, even when parent's can afford to help pay for some of their expenses. One thing that tends to occur when students get their loans is that they get excited and want to buy things for their apartments or tend to overspend without a true plan or budget. This leads me to my first tip.

Make a budget

Managing your money is one of the most important things you can do. So many students fail to plan for the semester because they are too busy with classes and work. If you are relying solely on student loans to get you through the semester, than a solid budget is going to be essential in keeping you on target. Creating a budget is very simple. Figure out what your main expenses are rent, food, gas etc, and come up with a daily or weekly amount that you can spend on those things.

Get a part time job

Extra money is always needed, no matter how busy you are if you prioritize your time well, you can squeeze in a day or two of work for some extra cash. A job will help you to pay for extras or maybe just help you make it by without a squeeze.

Avoid credit cards

Credit cards are surely the number one way to get yourself in financial trouble. Don't get a credit card unless it is completely necessary. Most times students will use credit cards for things that are unneeded and unrelated to education purposes. Not getting a credit card is probably the only way to avoid the temptation of not over spending.

Pay your bills on time

Seems pretty straight forward, but you wouldn't believe how easy it is to get side tracked and forget a due date. Organization is key here. Keep a calendar and mark all of your due dates, or even better have bills come automatically out of your account on a monthly basis.

These easy tips will surely help you through the school year if you follow them. Remember that it takes hard work and determination to take control of your life and your finances.
