With only a few short days before we hear the progression of Rihanna's sound with the release her seventh album's lead single, Diamonds, we're already getting a look at her newly updated, post-Talk That Talk design aesthetic…and a brand new website!

The singer has officially launched Rihanna7.com, on which she has revealed her re-designed "R" moniker. No longer comprised with what looked to be newspaper clippings; now it's made up of various words we've come to associate with her!

And perhaps maybe some potential song titles??

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

Hmmm…here's a list of the words, phrases, and possible song titles we can pull from the design:

"It's so hard for me to share my feelings. I've actually never told a guy that I loved him. I've felt them; I just can't say them. My friend recently convinced me how important it is for guys to know that.

I wound up writing letters to all the men I've been with, telling them that I did feel that for them. Well, except for the one guy who I wrote and was like, 'You're a f—ing c—.'"

We hardly see how this is relevant to the matter at hand, but whatevs!

As the case against 19-year-old Dharun Ravi, who is accused with crimes including bias intimidation for his role in the suicide of Tyler Clementi, continues, his lawyer, Steven Altman, is requesting that prosecutors hand over a hand-written note from the victim, as well as files from his computer, that could show his state of mind and help his roommate get off the hook!

Obviously, the prosecutors have argued that this information isn't relevant, and Judge Glenn Berman is now reviewing it in his chambers, with a ruling expected on Thursday.

Regardless of this poor kid's mental state, the fact of the matter is this young man still terrorized him by violating his privacy and airing it on the internet. He needs to be held accountable for these cruel and inappropriate actions.

May Tyler R.I.P.

People say a picture is worth a thousand words…well, these words are worth around twenty-thousand dollars!

Newly released letters from Princess Diana during the early years of her marriage are going up for auction in Colchester, UK on June 21, and they're expected to sell for 20K!

In the letters, which were put up for sale by retired school principal Margaret Hodge (the recipient), newly married Diana writes about her "heavenly honeymoon," her "joy of becoming a mother," and pride over her sons William and Harry.

Interestingly, the letters seem to paint a picture of bliss in Diana's life, whereas in reality she experienced a troubled marriage, and was "desperately unhappy" according to claims she made in later years.

Here's what royal specialist James Grinter had to say about the letters:

"This is a charming collection of personal letters and cards written by Diana to Mrs Hodge after they worked together at the Young England kindergarten and went on to become close friends."

"The Princess' letters give a fascinating glimpse into her life in the early years of her marriage to Prince Charles and we are expecting a lot of interest from collectors from around the world."

Guess we'll see how much Diana's letters end up selling for later this month!

And we think that's putting it nicely.

Before establishing his own label in 2005, Tom Ford spent 14 years designing for Gucci.

Once the fashion house turned into the Gucci Group they acquired Yves Saint Laurent and Ford became the creative director for both labels. In the beginning Tom and Yves had a good relationship, but once the honeymoon phase was over things got nasty.

Saint Laurent began sending Ford scathing letters and surprisingly he kept them all!

For the first time ever, fans will be able to read John Lennon's personal letters in a collection that will be published in October 2012.

After some persuading from Beatles' biographer, Hunter Davies, Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, sold the publishing rights to a collection of his letters, which reveal much insight to the legend's personal life.

The rights were purchased by Alan Samson of the Orion Publishing Group for an undisclosed amont - although some say they were sold anywhere from £500,000 to £1,000,000.

Samson said:

"The prospect of publishing such a wide-ranging and unusual collection had provoked a high-level bidding battle. These letters have never been collected in one place before, and for the most part they have never been seen before. The other reason people have gone crazy for it is the fact that there are half a dozen icons of the 20th century, – Marilyn Monroe, Kennedy, Elvis – and Lennon is one of them."

The collection includes more than 150 letters, including one in which he wrote to an 8-year-old boy. Samson added, "They are full of wonderful drawings. They are funny, sad…they are very human letters."

With Lennon being such a prolific writer, these letters are sure to be extremely emotional and meaningful.

The release of the letters will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' debut single Love Me Do.
