Although she probably won’t be on golfer Tiger Woods’ list of lovers (the pigmentation’s a little off), music star Rihanna continues to occupy a position of prominence in our imaginary little black books. In fact, she’s currently at No. 5 on Sic Willie’s “Hollywood Hottie” list, right behind Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek.

Viva diversity, right? The 21-year-old Barbadian – whose nude pics from a cell phone camera caused quite a sensation when they were leaked earlier this year – posed topless for purposeful public distribution in the January edition of GQ magazine. Except when we say “topless,” we mean that the photographers engaged in a calculated effort to ensure that absolutely no areola was visible at any time.

Bastards. Anyway, as much as Rihanna thinks she’s too cool for school sometimes, we “couldn’t not” acknowledge her hotness – to say nothing of the fact that homegirl is simultaneously kickin’ high heels and lingerie, which ranks just ahead of simultaneously kickin’ high heels and a bikini on our list of “coolest things ever.”
