Making a television appearance during her time in the Land Down Under, Rihanna was the guest on "Chelsea Lately" as the show filmed in Sydney, Australia over the past week.

The "Only Girl (In the World)" singer greeted host Chelsea Handler with a hug as she sat down to talk about a range of topics including stripping down for an  endorsement, collaborating with Eminem and her recent birthday bash.

During the chat, Handler brought up how she was personally invited to RiRi's birthday party - only to end up not even seeing the Barbadian beauty for a second during the celebratory fete.

Rihanna said of the circumstances, "We personally requested you and Chuy to be there, but you came so early in the night, I was still upstairs painting my face on, I missed you."

She added, "It was supposed to be only 250 people and 600 people showed up."

While on the show Ri Ri also discussed the lack of black people in Australia, telling the comedienne, "I look around at my concerts and there is like one or two. It is a rare thing and these people can be very black, too."

She's been busy with her Last Girl on Earth tour, and this past Thursday (March 10) Rihanna was spotted arriving into Adelaide, Australia.

The "Russian Roulette" songstress looked cool and calm as she strolled through the airport, sporting a comfy black tracksuit and carrying some entertainment magazines.

As far as her rumored involvement in a remake of the 1992 flick "The Bodyguard," Ri-Ri says she's not interested.

"Absolutely not. I hate it when singers do singing movies all the time, because you can never look at them as anybody else. I want to play a character; my whole life is playing Rihanna, being a singer won't be a stretch for me."

"I like challenges and being an actor is playing a role, being able to step into somebody else's shoes. That's the excitement."

In related news, it was recently announced that Rihanna has been tapped to front Nivea's 100 Years Skincare for Life campaign.
