Not long before she gave birth last May, I had dinner with Rihanna in Los Angeles. Needless to say she was in the throes of doing pregnancy her way: wearing a hot-pink, body-hugging minidress trimmed with feathers. There was a palpable joy in her eyes as she discussed her plans for the coming weeks while she awaited the birth of her son.
