Rihanna is known for her amazing dance music (which has won her 9 Grammy Awards!), her bold fashion, and her inclusive cosmetics line Fenty Beauty, but her latest project is something her little boy and his soon-to-be sibling will appreciate. The “Lift Me Up” singer made a surprise appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last night, where she revealed a brand-new gig that she hopes will bring her “cool points” with her kids. All we can think is, um, duh! How could it not?
