California King Bed’ single cover

Is it just us, or are we getting mixed messages from Rihanna these days? One minute, the Turtleneck & Chain contributor is cracking whips and topping charts with fellow dominatrix Britney Spears on “S&M,” and the next, she’s all lonesome and weepy in her “California King Bed.” The cover art for Rihanna’s latest Loud single gives us another taste of the softer side of David O. Russell’s muse, and not much more than that. Check out the full-sized version after the jump.

U.S. Charts Update – March 16, 2011

Despite its great iTunes positions and airplay updates, Rihanna’s current single “S&M” is down to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 (behind Lady Gaga, Cee Lo Green and Katy Perry). Next week’s chart will be based on Monday-Sunday (March 20) updates, so let’s keep working hard!
RiRi has recently thanked RihannaNavy on Twitter for the support:

Love u RihannaNavy! We fackin it up! I see yall representin wit S&M! Get S&M on itunes!
