Rihanna Poses Topless For ELLE And Reveals Her 'Biggest Fear' Is Childbirth

She is without a doubt one of the most daring and provocative young performers in pop. Yet in a recent interview with ELLE Magazine where she poses topless - Rihanna claims that the biggest misconception people have of her, is that she is shy. The 26-year-old singer also revealed in the December issue of the title that if she wasn't a pop star she would be 'a wife' and claims that 'any man that tells me what to do is sexy!'.

The Bajan-beauty looks absolutely flawless in the accompanying photo-shoot, wearing a selection of couture outfits. In what is billed as one of her most shocking interviews, Rihanna also explains her hangover cure ('Ice, Chinese food! And an upside-down trash can and towels, preferably next to the toilet') and the last time she was left star-struck ('When I met Aaron Paul at the Spike awards').

Rihanna is currently putting the finishing touches to her eighth studio album, which is rumoured to be called Lost Files. There has been much anticipation over the record, as it is the first time in her career that she has taken more than a year off before releasing new music.
