Hot Rihanna takes a Bowie

Brief encounter ... David Bowie meets Rihanna

 

 

DAVID BOWIE's encounter with RIHANNA last night will go down as one of the most memorable face-to-face oddities in recent years.

The China Girl songwriter was introduced to the Rude Boy singer by his wife IMAN at a leukaemia benefit in New York last night.
And hats off to the Thin White Duke - who rarely ventures out these days - for managing to avoid eye contact with the songbird's semi-exposed assets as she leaned in for the meet and greet.
She was on sizzling form at the charity bash, turning heads in a figure-hugging black gown and a spectacular hairdo.
The social butterfly also bumped into actress EVA MENDES, designer VERA WANG and BEYONCE KNOWLES' sister SOLANGE.

The Hitch star - who looked stunning in a strapless dress - broke into a joyous grin when Rihanna, standing several inches taller, moved in for a chat.
Despite her obvious fondness for a good night out, Rihanna recently revealed her living room sofa is where she prefers to spend her downtime.

She said: "When I have a day off, I usually just laze around for as long as possible.
"I watch TV in bed, blast music out really loudly, or maybe go shopping.
"But recently when I've had time off, I haven't been shopping at all. I've just stayed at home watching TV."
