Bidding her dreadlocks -and her clothes- adieu, Rihanna flaunted her newly blonde hair and her nude body on full view during a racy photo shoot promoting her new Nude fragrance.

The Barbadian beauty dyed her hair blonde and donned a gold necklace -and nothing else- for what might be her most sultry shoot to date for the appropriately-named first Nude fragrance. Rihanna also draped an arm over her chest as a token of modesty that still left very little to the imagination.

Earlier, the ‘Where Have You Been’ singer sported dreadlocks during her guest performance at the finale of ‘American Idol.’ Her new blonde look led a Twitter fan to ask Rihanna why she ditched the dreadlocks for blonde hair.

“blonde was just for the shoot!” Rihanna tweeted the fan. “I’m still black,” she assured in reference to the color of her hair, which was naturally black.

Rihanna also announced the debut of her Nude fragrance via Twitter. ”I got a big shoot tomorrow,” Rihanna tweeted to her more than 19 million followers, “For a surprise fragrance for my ladies called…NUDE!”

Though she bid her dreadlocks goodbye for the Nude fragrance shoot, Rihanna also hinted at their possible return.

‘Bye bye dreadz,” Rihanna had tweeted before adding, “for NOW!’

Patricia Krentcil may be eager to bare her bronzed body on the pages of Playboy, but those feelings are totally one-sided.

As TMZ earlier reported, the 44-year-old Tanning Mom said she would be delighted to show some skin in a Playboy nude photo shoot. She has even been practicing sexy poses. All she is waiting for is the official invite, and it’s off with her clothes.

But Playboy sources informed TMZ that such an invitation will never be sent, much less thought of.

“It wouldn’t even be considered,” a source declared. Playboy owner Hugh Hefner, said the source, would never let Patricia Krentcil pose nude or otherwise in the magazine- or any other Playboy outlet, because the Tanning Mom isn’t Playboy material.

For those who want to see more of Patricia Krentcil -but not more of her skin- she also revealed several invitations to appear on a reality show. Clothed, of course.
