How do you know when you’ve become a household name? Iggy Pop told us that it was when airline stewardesses began recognizing him on flights. For Ryan Adams it was when his name ended up as a clue in the New York Times crossword puzzle. For Phish, it was getting their own flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. We’re not positive, but for the always inscrutable Rihanna it means she could concoct her own flavor of Vita Coco.
The fiery Barbados native has been the face of the beverage’s national ad campaign since June, but who knew that part of the deal was they were going let her into the test kitchens to make up her own brew? But they did. Named Tropical Fruit (rather a perfect name for her, given her outfit in this weekend’s celebration), it’s a blend of "coconut water, pink guava, orange, red dragon fruit and pineapple." 
“It tastes so delicious and reminds me of home!” enthused the singer. “I grew up in Barbados - so when Vita Coco approached me to help develop a new flavor, I thought we should combine the natural coconut water with fresh tropical fruits - two of my favorite things,” says Rihanna. It will be packaged in a bright magenta Tetra Pak and will have Rihanna’s signature to mark the collabro, just in case you mistake it for something Madonna or Anthony Kiedas, both investors in the company, cooked up.
"Who Do I Have to Bang?" File
 |  |  |  |  |
Apparently you have to bang Jimmy Kimmel, since her hubby’s band will play two songs on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. Although having said that, maybe we should look at the subtext of the tweet. Why, why, why hasn't Gwenny heard it yet? Especially since, in the September issue of Elle, the actress-cum-chef-cum-singer admits that she and husband Chris Martin aren’t always a picture perfect couple. Well, they ARE that, but you know what we mean.

“Sometimes it's hard being with someone for a long time," she admits to Elle. "We go through periods that aren't all rosy. I always say, life is long and you never know what's going to happen. If, God forbid, we were ever not to be together, I respect him so much as the father of my children. Like, I made such a good choice. He’s such a good dad. You can never be relaxed or smug and think, I’ve got this thing. That’s also part of it—keeping yourself on your toes. I’m not going to take this for granted.”
As for the singing career, she tells readers not to expect collaboration with her Martin anytime soon, nor does she never ask his advice: “[He’s] a musical genius. It’s like living with Picasso, and being like, ‘Should I make a little something-something?’"
Instead she goes to some other musical geniuses about advice about what she should do about her burgeoning other talent.
“Beyoncé and Jay—they think that I should just go do it by myself,” she shares, “that I should go…in a studio and see what happens. And if it’s good, do it. And if it’s not, don’t. So that’s probably what I’ll do.”
Binge Shopping
Sometimes I think we’d all be disappointed if Courtney Love actually behaved herself. I know I would. Well that doesn’t seem likely to happen anytime soon. This week the singer was spotted shopping in Sydney, Australia, clearly in a state of inebriation, having everything to do with the fact that the upscale shop plied her with graceful goblets of white wine. I ask you, who amongst us hasn’t known the joys of alcohol and binge shopping?
Well, apparently Courtney. According to a report in INF Daily, the singer was visiting Sydney and decided to engage in some retail therapy to help her get over her recent breakup with Brit aristocrat Henry Allsopp. We’re not sure if she ended up buying anything, but while back on the street, Love was spotted stumbling out of her stilettos and just escaped being hit by a car after attempting to cross the street while the light was red.
