Rihanna ponders a beauty line so your make-up will stay on under your Umbrella, ella, ella

Also in Tattle: Miley’s nipplegate is a bust, new Oscar producers, Pokemon bandits jailed

FROM YESTERDAY'S USA Today:

"Ever look in the mirror and think, 'Gosh, if only I had Rihanna's face/body/life, this work week wouldn't be so bad!' "

No, USA Today, Tattle has never thought that. We've occasionally thought, "If only we woke up next to Rihanna, this work week wouldn't be so bad."

The amount of makeup, toning, waxing and liposuction we'd need to look like Rihanna would be an impossible amount to obtain.

But for those of you who are at least female (or male with good legs), the good news is that RiRi told Refinery29 that she's one day planning to launch a beauty line, probably because she wants her mascara Ri-mover to be touted in "Beautiful You." (See Page 24.)

"That is definitely something I am going to have my hands on and would love to do," Rihanna ri-vealed. "It's something that I've always wanted to do, but I've always had so much on my hands. But, this time, I'm going to make sure it happens. I'm going to find some time between albums and fragrance to do that. I promise."

(Note to Rihanna: If you use a swab you won't have so much on your hands.)

And what kind of products is Rihanna envisioning?

"Lashes that could just put themselves on . . . lipstick that doesn't move, but doesn't dry your lips out, that you don't need a liner for. I mean, it sounds so unreal."

The lipstick sounds real enough. Those lashes that attach themselves? That sounds a bit more farfetched.

* In other Rihanna news, she hinted to "Entertainment Tonight" that if Kanye West runs for president in 2020, she would support him.

"I mean, people are voting for [Donald] Trump. Who wouldn't vote for Kanye? I got to see his speech and I'm really, really elated with it. His speech was incredible."

Not to pick nits, but no one has actually voted for [Donald] Trump yet.

Miley's breast? Eh.

Janet Jackson exposed a breast on TV a decade ago, and it sparked national outrage.

Miley Cyrus

' flash barely caused a shrug.

David Bauder, of the Associated Press, wrote that Cyrus' exposure came near the end of Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards. She peeked her head out from behind a black curtain that covered up all but her head, then the curtain slipped to briefly reveal a bare breast.

"What's happening?" said the show's host. "Oh, sorry. My tit's out."

MTV said it cut the unexpected glimpse of flesh for re-broadcasts.

By the next morning, it wasn't even watercooler fodder. Kanye's rambling acceptance of a career-achievement award and declaration of his 2020 presidential candidacy was the hot topic on a program known more for outlandish pop-culture moments than awards.

Call Tattle old-fashioned, but we stopped watching the MTV Video Music Awards when MTV stopped airing music videos.

And our guess is that if Miley flashed a nipple at the Super Bowl, more people would care.

The bare breast at a football game would ruin the sanctity of grown men bashing their brains into jelly. At the MTV Video Music Awards, it's merely a few seconds of relief from having to listen to Kanye.

(Besides, Miley twerking with Robin Thicke two years ago was way more disturbing.)

TATTBITS

Entertainment Weekly reports that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has chosen former Fox executive David Hill and producer/director Reginald Hudlin to run the show.

Hill won an Emmy as the executive producer of the 2011 World Series and most recently served as an exec producer of "American Idol." Hudlin was a producer of "Django Unchained" and directed Eddie Murphy's "Boomerang" and the comedy "House Party."

The Oscars will air on Feb. 28.

* The two Iowa men accused of making online threats of violence against a Pokemon competition in Boston were ordered held without bail yesterday after a judge rejected arguments by their lawyers that their comments amounted to idle online bravado.

Judge Thomas Horgan ordered Kevin Norton, 18, of Ames, and James Stumbo, 27, of Boone, held for at least four months as they await trial.

Prosecutors say the men made social-media threats against last month's World Pokemon Championships and had a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 rifle and nearly 300 rounds of ammunition in their car when they tried to register for the event Aug. 20.

Ah, two guys in jail who play Pokemon. That must go over real well in the yard.
