Rihanna: I won't pose for 'Playboy'

Rihanna has claimed that she will never pose naked for Playboy because she fears an angry reaction from her mother.

The singer is quoted as saying: "My mother would kill me if I posed nude!

"When I did that metallic body paint stuff for my ['Umbrella'] video, I didn't do it to show my body. I didn't do it for people to like me. I did it because it was a cool visual, unexpected, and it looked hot."

The popstar confessed that she enjoys doing photoshoots because they allow her to be a fashion trend-setter.

She added: "I have done a lot of photoshoots for magazines but it's always great to be shot for a cover because you know that you are looked at as a fashion icon."
