Rihanna

With the release of her new single, 'Russian Roulette,' Rihanna has unveiled an edgy new image for herself. The song, from the singer's upcoming album 'Rated R,' ends with a gunshot, but even more controversial is the artwork that accompanies the single. Rihanna is pictured wrapped in barbed wire and gripping a chain, while blood drips from the song's title, which is directly underneath a shiny blade 'R' logo. All of this dark imagery is right in tune with the song's suicide-hinting lyrics, "So just pull the trigger." 'Rated R' will be released on Nov. 23, but in the meantime, let us know what you think of the photo's racy look.
