Rihanna's adorable family premiere: Rza and Riot steal hearts on Smurfs red carpet
Rihanna had two special little guests at the premiere of her latest movie. The 37-year-old's sons, Rza (2) and Riot (23 months), made their red carpet debut at Sunday's Smurfs Los Angeles premiere at the Paramount Theatre. Rihanna, who is expecting her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky, wore a satin chocolate brown ball gown paired with a leather jacket designed by Anthony Vaccarello from Saint Laurent's spring/summer 2025 collection. The boys were dressed in formal wear, with Riot sporting a look from Jonathan Anderson's debut collection for Dior Men. While walking the red carpet, the boys shared a cute moment with Papa to Access Hollywood, the Love on the Brain singer said she could not wait to attend the premiere with her kids and finally see the movie. 'It's a lot of pressure now; everybody gets to see it,' said Rihanna. About playing Smurfette, Rihanna said she connects to the character in many ways. She identifies with her leadership, refusal to quit, and determination. In the new film, now showing in cinemas, Rihanna stars as Smurfette alongside Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, J. P. Karliak, Dan Levy, Amy Sedaris, and Nick Kroll. The singer is also a producer on the film and has written some original songs for it, too. In the new film, Smurfette leads the Smurfs into the real world to rescue Papa Smurf, who has been captured by the evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel. WATCH THE TRAILER HERE:

Raphael Saadiq new music Although we're not entirely sure what Saadiq will take to the stage at this multifaceted, no phones stage show, we recommend checking out his most recent effort, the four-song 'Blue Room.' Featuring collaborations with Common, Ledisi, Steve Spacek (who takes credit for the album) and Q-Tip, the blissed-out mini-album is a peaceful 14-minute experiment that shows off the gifted group's skills for innovative arrangement, powerful vocals and how they intersect. We recommend starting with the groovy 'Something Tells Me,' an inside-out, kaleidoscopic soundscape before diving into the scratchy jam 'Hey' and chill medley-like 'They Don't Know You.' To hear for yourself, you can find 'Blue Room' here. About the record, Spacek shared this statement via Bandcamp: Blue Room is a labour of love spanning a little over two decades. They were more or less unfinished songs from a few recording sessions at Raphael Saadiq's Blakeslee studios in LA. With amazing talent the likes of Common and QTip- to name but a few- passing through Raphael's studio on a daily basis, I ended up with a bunch of unfinished gems. Not sure what happened to the sessions but I had these 2-track songs that whenever I played them, peeps would always be asking when and where they could get them. I was constantly getting requests for me to release them. I most likely would have already, if it wasn't for the fact that- to my ear at least- they were clearly unfinished and wouldn't do justice to the featured talent- much less the music as a whole. Fast forward to present and thanks to new technologies like stem separation, I was able to finish up and polish off the four songs featured on Blue Room. I am finally and truly happy with the finished project. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! Also, of note, Saadiq recently served as the composer on the Pedro Pascal film 'Freaky Tales.' Some tracks are atmospheric and ambient while others harken back to Saadiq's late-'80s 'Tony! Toni! Toné!' output. You can find the score here. On top of that, the tireless Saadiq contributed to 'Cowboy Carter' and 'Sinners' as noted above. D'Wayne Wiggins news On March 7, 2025, D'Wayne Wiggins passed away. Wiggins, 64, was in Tony! Toni! Toné! with Saadiq and was also his older brother (Saadiq's real name is Charles Ray Wiggins). Most recently, they performed together in 2023 on the 'Just Me and You Tour.' Two days before he passed, Wiggins shared he was experiencing medical complications on Instagram. It was later revealed the talented artist died from bladder cancer at his home in Oakland, CA. R&B icons on tour in 2025 It's a good time to be an R&B fan. Over the next few months, many of Saadiq's contemporaries from yesterday and today are also taking their hits to venues all over the U.S. and Canada.
