It’s raining Rihanna, or as she is known to her close friends, Caribbean Barbie TM. The cameraman’s wet dream, with her pretty doll-faced features and petit albeit juicy figure, is a photogenic goddess with all the aesthetic appeal of a Disney princess. Perhaps that's was caught megastar producer Evan Rodgers eye when he was introduced to the aspiring entertainer in 2005 while on holiday in Barbados with his family. Rihanna was fifteen, with bronze skin, plump, expressive lips and sea-green eyes. She was a frequent winner of local beauty and talent contests and on meeting her, the dollar sign cha-chinged behind Rodger’s eyes and he brought her back to the States to make her the billboard empress she is today. With the help of the man who produced such acts as N*SYNC, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson, it’s no wonder she so stylishly broke into the pop scene. Jay-Z signed her to his record label Def Jam Recordings and the rest is history.
