RiRi was spotted at in a half naked top going into Da Silvano Restaurant in New York City. Rihanna is the latest celebrity to join the viral video campaign against Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony. TMZ.com says the pop diva has spoken to the Invisible Children organization about creating a video to raise awareness about Kony’s acts. Kony quickly became a talked about name after a YouTube video exposed his involvement in a child army and a child prostitution ring. Rihanna was reportedly moved by the footage, and contacted Invisible Children to set up a meeting. They’re hoping to create their video as soon as they can. Other celebrities who have joined in the campaign against Kony include George Clooney, Ryan Seacrest, Angelina Jolie, and Taylor Swift.

NYC papz just don’t leave RiRi alone! After her new Vita Coco ad campaign, Rihanna was photographed holding her new iPhone and signing autographs while getting back to her hotel. Watch a funny video below:

Drake and Rihanna travel to new heights in the artistic visual for their budding hit collaboration “Take Care.” The video, directed by Yoann Lemoine, features grayscaled, intimate scenes with the hit-making duo, cinematic close-up shots of a bird, bull, and fish moving in artsy rhythm to the Jamie XX produced cut, and a group of muscular male performers acting out tribal dance scenes.

Not everyone, however, believes the Invisible Children organization is the best way to bring down Joseph Kony.

Some have noted that the problems in the region extend beyone just Kony, and that money given to Invisible Children will support the Ugandan army, which has committed their own despicable acts.

In case you’ve been living in a cave, here’s the recap: For more than two decades, Joseph Kony has been abducting Ugandan children—more than 30,000 of them—to fight as soldiers in his Lord’s Resistance Army, giving them weapons and training them to kill.

He has committed mass murder, maimed countless children, and caused horrible suffering to the people of Uganda. Driven out in 2006, he now is presumed to be in the Central African Republic.

“Kony 2012” was made by a young American filmmaker, Jason Russell, who in the film tells the story of a visit to Uganda in 2003.
There, he got to know some of the children who experienced Kony’s madness, including a young boy named Jacob. After Jacob tearfully tells Russell the story of watching his brother get murdered by Kony’s forces, Russell promises him that somehow he will help.
So in 2004, he helped create the non-profit, Invisible Children, which works to shed light on the atrocities of Joseph Kony. The group shows screenings of their films at schools–including South Orange Middle School last week–churches and colleges, encourages people to donate, and has met with members of Congress all in an effort to spread the word.

This month, they released “Kony 2012” and the film has finally given Invisible Children the worldwide exposure it’s wanted. Jason Russell says the film’s aim is to make Joseph Kony famous—that is, to draw (let’s face it) clueless young Americans’ attention to a horrific person, making him a household name. It certainly accomplished that: At the time I wrote this on Monday, “Kony 2012” had been viewed by more than 74 million people on YouTube. It’s been a social media sensation.

But it didn’t take long for the criticism to emerge. Foreign policy experts have said the film oversimplifies an immensely complicated situation, and that Kony’s followers have dwindled to only a few hundred. Others say Invisible Children spends more money on filmmaking and donation gifts like “Kony 2012” bracelets than on actually helping the people of Uganda. Then there’s this picture—which besides making the founders of Invisible Children look like they’re posing for an Abercrombie and Fitch (With Guns) ad—gives the dangerous impression that it is only the white man who can come save the poor black folks of Africa.
