She completed the sexy look with matching stockings, suspenders and see-through long gloves.

The mum of two, 36, shared the sizzling snaps on her social media, explaining that she was sporting a set called Lavish Lace.

Rihanna also looked very different in the snaps, swapping her trademark dark locks for a blonde mane.

The shoot saw her poses on furniture covered in white lace as she struck a series of suggestive poses.

In one she reclined in a chair provocatively, flashing her ankle tattoo through her sheer stockings.

In another she showed off her shapely derriere while she posed at a piano.

A third snap was cropped close to showcase her ample cleavage spilling out of her bra cup.

Needless to say, her followers voiced their approval in the comments.

“Mercy mercy my heart,” one gushed.

“God really ain’t play bout chu,” another raved.

“MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,” screamed a third.

It’s been almost ten years since Rihanna last released a studio album with 2015’s Anti.

Other than a brief return to music with the Black Panther track Lift Me Up, she has instead focused on raising a family and building her empire through her beauty, hair and underwear lines.

‘I don’t like to talk about other manager’s jobs… but yes,’ says Man Utd legend as he’s asked if he’d replace Ten Hag

OLE GUNNAR SOLKSJAER has suggested he would be open to a shock Old Trafford return – as the pressure mounts on Erik ten Hag.

The former Man Utd striker managed the club between 2018 and 2021.

Erik ten Hag is under pressure at Old Trafford[/caption]

Solskjaer left the Red Devils in November 2021 following a string of poor results.

He was replaced for the remainder of the season by Ralph Rangnick before current boss ten Hag took over the following summer.

The Dutchman looked to have secured himself time to win over Utd fans after signing a new one-year contract extension in July.

But after another poor start to the season, he is once again under pressure at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer appeared as a keynote speaker during the Oslo Business Forum on Thursday.

In a tongue-in-cheek moment, he was asked if he would return to Utd as manager sometime in the future.

The 51-year-old replied with a smile, per Fabrizio Romano: “I don’t like to talk about other managers’ jobs.

“But yes. Of course, I would!”

One fan responded: “Lowkey has a better game plan than Ten Hag. Would be a shrewd appointment.”

Another joked: “Welcome back to OT, Ole.”

While a third added: “He still has unfinished business at Old Trafford, and it would be interesting to see if he could bring fresh energy this time around!”

But a fourth countered: “So Ole’s ready to step back into the chaos? Can’t decide if that’s bravery or pure delusion. Guess some people just love the pain!”

And a fifth argued: “The end is near for Erik ten Hag.”

Man Utd player ratings vs FC Twente

MANCHESTER UNITED'S Europa League campaign got off to a less than ideal start with a miserable 1-1 draw against FC Twente at Old Trafford.

That result dealt a big blow to their chances of finishing in the top eight and avoiding two extra fixtures.

See how the players rated on an underwhelming night at Old Trafford.

Andre Onana – 6

Good save to push a free-kick from Sem Steijn to safety but might be disappointed to be beaten at the near post for Twente’s goal.

Diogo Dalot – 6

Early mistake near the corner flag could have been costly but he caused problems at the other end in build up to Christian Eriksen goal.

Harry Maguire – 6

Missed his tackle to put United on the back foot for the equaliser but almost won it late on with a header cleared off the line.

Lisandro Martinez – 7

Made several important clearances but one wild challenge on edge of his box could have proven costly.

Noussair Mazraoui – 6

New boy looks solid. Vital early tackle and another one later to stop Twente going in front.

Christian Eriksen – 7

Fourth successive start – and the veteran still looked sprightly. What a strike to give United the lead but then spoiled it with mistake for equaliser.

Manuel Ugarte – 6

A few good tackles from the new boy but might be disappointed not to clear his lines as Twente broke away for equaliser.

Marcus Rashford – 8

Much improved display in front of watching England interim boss Lee Carsley. Full of energy, a few tricks and a couple of dangerous crosses. More like his old self.

Bruno Fernandes – 6

Skipper had a hand in the opening goal and was so close to winning it with curler from the edge of the box.

Amad Diallo – 6

His pace was too much to handle for the visitors at times but not much of an end product this time and made way for Alejandro Garnacho midway through the second half.

Joshua Zirkzee – 5

A few good moments and forced a flying save from the visitors’ keeper after nice link up with Diogo Dalot – but then hooked for the fit-again Rasmus Hojlund.

Solskjaer spent 11 seasons at Old Trafford as a player, scoring 91 goals in 235 Premier League appearances.

He won six titles before hanging up his boots in 2007.

The Norwegian enjoyed two spells as manager of Molde either side of an an ill-fated tenure with Cardiff City.

He took charge of Utd in 2018 and led them to a third-placed finish.

A year later, Utd finished second – 12 points adrift of Man City – before losing the Europa League final on penalties to Villarreal.

On Wednesday, Ten Hag was left fuming as his Utd players laboured to a 1-1 draw against FC Twente.

He raged: “We’re disappointed as a team.

“We wanted more but it was far from good enough in the end.

“They looked like they wanted it more than us and that can’t be right.”

Running through next summer, these are expected to rake in £400million – and will not be televised.

It has been confirmed that the group will also play gigs overseas.

Per NME, the 13 cities include Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and New Rutherford in the United States.

Also among the line-up is Toronto, Canada and Mexico City, Mexico.

Oasis will additionally be performing in Australia, namely Sydney and Melbourne.

Further shows are set to be held in Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, South Korea.

Rounding the list off is gigs in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Dates, venues and ticket sale details are to be announced at a later date.

The eagerly awaited Stateside concerts will mark the first time the Gallagher brothers have performed together in the US since 2008.

A source previously said: “It’s going to be a handful of massive dates in major cities.

“Brits living in New York and Los Angeles should have a decent chance at getting themselves a ticket.

“Oasis don’t want a repeat of the issues they had with tickets for their home gigs but they are expecting the same huge demand they saw here.”

The high demand for the band’s return has seen sold out gigs at Wembley.

Tickets in Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh and Manchester were also quickly snapped up.

Meanwhile, the reconciliation of Noel and Liam Gallagher took the music world by surprise.

Oasis - The Gallagher Feud Timeline

Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have a long history of ongoing fights - both physical and verbal - here's the full history of the band and what they've said to each other.

1991 – Liam Gallagher forms Oasis with Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan and Tony McCarroll, later asking Noel to join.

1993 – The band sign to Creation Records and start work on their debut album.

August 1994 – Oasis shoot to fame with their debut album, Definitely Maybe, with tracks including Rock n Roll Star, Live Forever and Supersonic. It’s one of the fastest selling debuts ever for a British band.

1995 – The band release their second album, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? which features Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger, and Champagne Supernova.

1996 – Liam is forced to sit out a leg of tour shows due to laryngitis, but causes chaos when he was filmed heckling his brother from a balcony while a taping of MTV Unplugged.

2000 – Noel quits the band temporarily for a second time when, while partying in Barcelona, Liam riles Noel by questioning if his daughter, Anais, is actually his. The pair get into a fist fight.

2005 – Noel tells Q Magazine that he’s ‘never forgiven’ Liam for his comments about Anais and he’s ‘never apologised. He tells the mag: “He’s my brother. I hope he’s reading this and realises that. He’s my brother but he’s at arm’s length until he apologises for what he’s done.”

2009 – Noel admits in an interview with Q that he ‘doesn’t like Liam’, branding him “rude, arrogant, intimidating, and lazy”. “He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet,” he added. “He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

Liam later retaliates and tells NME: “It takes more than blood to be my brother. He doesn’t like me and I don’t like him.”

August 23, 2009 – Oasis pull out of a headline slot at V Festival in the UK due to Liam having laryngitis.

August 28, 2009 – Ahead of the Rock en Seine festival, Noel and Liam get into another fight, during which time Liam breaks one of Noel’s guitars after “waving it like an axe” according to Noel.

August 28, 2009 – Noel quits the band for the third and final time, saying in a statement: “It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”

2010 – Oasis win ‘best album of the last 30 years’ at the Brit Awards for (What’s the Story) Morning Glory. Liam picks up the gong, and thanks everyone except Noel. He later says this was misinterpreted as a dig.

2011 – Liam tries to sue Noel after he claims in the interview they cancelled their V Festival performance due to Liam being hungover. Liam disputed it said the comment “questioned my professionalism”. He later apologised and the lawsuit was dropped.

2011 – Noel admits regrets at quitting before the Paris gig, telling Absolute Radio and admits if he did “we may never have split up.”

2011 – 2014 – Liam and the other bandmates continue under new name, Beady Eye, while Noel forms new band, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

2015 – After years of jabs online, especially through media and Twitter, Liam teases he’s buried the hatchet with Noel by sharing an All Areas pass from a High Flying Birds gig. However, the fight would recommence two months later after Noel publicly dismissed suggestion Oasis would reunite for Glastonbury 2016.

2017 – Liam performs at Manchester’s One Love concert after the bombing at Ariana Grande’s show, with Don’t Look Back In Anger becoming a unifying anthem for the incident. He then slams Noel for not attending. Noel later tells Sunday Times: “Young music fan were slaughtered, and he, twice, takes it somewhere to be about him. He needs to see somebody.”

2018 – Liam suggests a reunion for the 2018 World Cup on Twitter, writing: “let’s get the big O back together and stop f***ing about the drinks are on me”. When it fell on deaf ears, he added: “I’ll take that as a NO then.”

“A deal was put on the table and they both said yes – much to the surprise of the people around them.”

Richard Madeley reveals ‘very happy’ daughter Chloe is going on HOLIDAY with ex James Haskell as he opens up on divorce

RICHARD Madeley has opened up on his daughter Chloe’s divorce from I’m A Celebrity star James Haskell.

Chloe, 37, and James, 39, are heading on holiday together despite their recent split.

Personal trainer and TV personality Chloe welcomed daughter Bodhi with her ex-husband back in August 2022.

Chloe’s father revealed the pair are going to France together, calling their separation a “very happy uncoupling.”

And he said he’s kept a friendly relationship with his former son-in-law.

Richard told us: “Chloe is very happy, she and James are going to France together, they have a very happy uncoupling.

“It’s a very civilised relationship – we see a lot of James, he’s at the house quite a lot, either with Chloe or without.”

He added: “I go for a drink with him from time to time. It’s all good.

“It’s a very civilised divorce. The co-parenting is going really well.”

They announced their split earlier this year after James was forced to deny any wrongdoing following photos of him with a mystery woman.

The split came after they filmed a reality show together.

The famous family were seen delving into the world of reality TV with their show Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair.

Devoted mum Chloe, the daughter of TV legends Richard and Judy Finnigan, later released a statement confirming the couple had decided to part ways after five years of marriage.

In the joint statement, she said: “James and I mutually decided separate at the end of September, 2023. 

“We had not planned on releasing a statement at this time – certainly not while the television show was airing – but constant speculation about our marriage has, unfortunately, forced our hand.

“Beyond this statement, we will not be speaking about this matter publicly, and we would request privacy at this time. 

“Our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter. We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.” 

CHLOE DEFENDS EX

“There’s kind of like a heavy insinuation that he’s not a nice guy, ” Chloe told The Sun on Sunday in an interview last month.

“And look, James and I went through our battles. But we’re co-parenting really well, and 50 per cent of that accolade is on him.

“I want him to have some of that respect from people, which I don’t see him getting.”

She added: “I honestly think James and I are doing a fantastic job and I’m very proud of us both.”

However, the health guru admitted she initially found it far harder than James did to be friends for their daughter’s sake.

She explained: “James is a very practical person and I’m not, I’m a very emotional person.

“For him it wouldn’t make sense that we broke up our marriage and then still carried on absolutely hating life and hating each other’s company.

“For him it was a matter of being very practical, like, ‘We better make an effort and get on and do this properly.’ I’m a much more emotional person.

“But I also am so in love with my daughter,— she’s my whole entire world. So there was no way I was going to drag my daughter into some ridiculous kind of child-weaponising, toxic situation.”

The pair get on so well that fans have even speculated that they are secretly back together, because they look so happy in family snaps.

However, Chloe revealed that they have both definitely moved on — and in fact, she expects the former England player to find a new partner soon.

She said: “It’ll probably happen for James long before it happens to me, if it hasn’t already. I’m waiting for the conversation to happen at some point.”

As for her own love life, Chloe admitted: “I’m very, very single — like, painfully single. I don’t ever get approached, honestly.

“I have a very anti-social, ‘Don’t talk to me’ face, so I think that might have something to do with it.”
