Rihanna‘s reign won’t let up. Since she hit the scene in 2008, she’s had 13 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100—tying her with Michael Jackson for the third most No. 1 songs on the chart. And she’s achieved all this before her 27th birthday, which just so happens to be today, Feb. 20. Related: Kanye West Is Executive Producing Rihanna’s New Album While we anxiously await the release of RiRi’s next album—her eighth, oh so cleverly titled, R8—to drop, we decided to take stock of her entire career so far.

All 131 of Rihanna’s tracks—every single solo track, collaboration and guest feature on an Eminem song that’s out there. So, from worst to best,...

Now 80, the former Bond star has vowed never to act again. He should reconsider and find one last great role to erase the memory of a decade of duds
It's hard not to feel a bit conned when an actor retires. That might be because acting doesn't seem like a real job. Putting on fancy clothes and pretending to be wittier and more athletic than you really are, in exchange for piles of cash and widespread adulation, doesn't seem like the sort of thing a normal person could ever grow sick of.
I'm bringing this up because, to mark his 80th birthday last week, Sean Connery reiterated his desire to never act again. Fair enough, you might say – he's been acting since the mid 50s and doesn't need the money. If you lived in a house as palatial as his residence in the Bahamas then your desire to work probably wouldn't be particularly intense either.
