RIHANNA PREPARES TO DROP

"Russian Roulette' Video Debuts Tonight, Album Hits Nov. 23, AMAs, GMA, Letterman Next
Get ready to play some "Russian Roulette."

The Rihanna video for the first single from her new album Rated R is set to premiere tonight on ABC's 20/20 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Directed by Anthony Mandler, the clip's reportedly dark, elaborate and cinematic, reflecting the controversial image campaign, which featured the singer bound in barbed wire. See the on-air promo here. The single is already a Top 10 hit, the 12th in Rihanna's impressive career to date, second-most of any female act this decade.

Mandler also helmed the online clip, "Wait Your Turn," while yet another track, "Hard" f/Jeezy, has been getting radio and club airplay nationwide.

With Rated R slated for release Nov. 23, Rihanna will partner with Nokia for a concert event from a secret location in London which will be streamed on the Web and mobile devices. Log onto www.Nokia/com/rihanna for more information.

She'll perform on ABC's American Music Awards, Sunday (11/22), while on Tuesday morning after release (11/24), Times Square will be closed for her turn on the network's Good Morning America, followed by Letterman on NBC that night.
