Rihanna over her talons

Rihanna is opting for a more natural style now that she's not on tour, and has started the laid back look on her nails.

The Diamonds singer is often photographed sporting extra-long talons, painted in a variety of colours.

But the Barbados-born singer is ready to go back to the natural look when it comes to her fingers.

"I have had these long nails for a year straight on tour and I'm over it. I'm over the extended acrylic - I want something simple, no fancy colours. I'm sticking with nudes and reds right now on shorter, but not super-short, almond nails," she revealed to British magazine Glamour.

The star spoke candidly about her beauty regime, and says it's not as complex as people may think.

Although she often wears heavy make-up for the stage, 25-year-old Rihanna says getting it off is a breeze.

"My skincare routine is so simple. I just use wipes to take all my make-up off and that's it. But when your skin gets tacky, you're tired or you look like a walking corpse, it's because the skin is dehydrated. I use a couple of products, but I can't tell you which ones they are - not yet," she teased.

When it comes to her hair, Rihanna is a fan of experimenting.

She's modelled a variety of different styles and colours over the years, but says her top look is when her hair is natural.

"I love my hair short and black, I loved it red and then I loved the blonde shag that I do, but I couldn't find another shade of blonde that suits me beside that one. But my favourite is probably my natural brown hair," she said.

Mario Balotelli: AC Milan reject claims the striker is about to leave

AC Milan have released a statement to deny speculation that Italy striker Mario Balotelli could leave in January.

Al-Jazeera demands Egypt release four journalists

  Qatar-based broadcaster Al-Jazeera has demanded the release of four of its journalists seized by Egyptian police in Cairo at the weekend. They include its Cairo bureau chief Mohamed Fadel Fahmy and former BBC correspondent Peter Greste. The journalists had held illegal meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood, the interior ministry said. Al-Jazeera said it had been "subject to harassment" although not officially banned from working in Egypt. There has been a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood since the army ousted President Mohammed Morsi in July. Last week it was declared a terrorist group. In the past six months, more than 1,000 pro-Morsi protesters have been killed in clashes with security forces, and thousands of Brotherhood supporters have been arrested, including the majority of its leadership. A court will hear a case to disband the Brotherhood's political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), on 15 February. 'Arbitrary' The four journ...

Obama in Saudi Arabia for talks overshadowed by mistrust

US President Barack Obama sought Friday to allay Riyadh’s criticism of his policies on Syria and Iran, telling the Saudi king their two countries remain in lockstep on their strategic interests. He also assured King Abdullah that the U.S. won’t accept a bad deal” with Iran, as global powers negotiate a treaty reining in Tehran’s controversial nuclear program. The president underscored how much he values this strategic relationship,” a senior U.S. official said, after Obama met for some two hours with the king on a royal estate outside Riyadh. In an interview aired on U.S. television later Friday, Obama defended his administration’s decision not to use military force in Syria, saying that the United States has its limits. The U.S. leader’s comments came in an interview taped ahead of his visit to Saudi Arabia, which was angered by his eleventh-hour decision last year to pull back from strikes against the Syrian regime over its use of chemical weapons in the country’s civil wa...
