'Veep': Insightful Political Commentary -- Or Just Fun?

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is always up for a challenge. In Seinfeld, she proved her undeniable comedic chops.

And now comes HBO's Veep, (premiering this Sunday at 10 p.m. ET), Louis-Dreyfus' latest foray into TV comedy. Here, she aims even higher: This show sets out to offer political insights while entertaining us.

Nicole Richie Stays Fit and Fabulous

Getting in a quick workout, Nicole Richie was spotted leaving her gym in Los Angeles, California on Friday (April 20).

Sipping some juice to stay hydrated, the ?Fashion Star? mentor sported a pair of oversized black shades along with a ripped up tank and cropped yoga pants as she carried a large snake skin bag during her post-exercise trip.

Earlier that day, the 30-year-old designer made an appearance on ?The Ellen DeGeneres Show? during which she talked about her upbringing and how fashion became a huge part of her life.

?Two things about my mom. My mom did not let me wax my eyebrows. OK, so in every picture I have the worst eyebrows ever. And she always wanted me to dress like her,? Miss Richie said.

After showing off some of her childhood fashion-don?ts, the gorgeous blonde went on to discuss her new hit show in which she inspires amateur designers on their path to make it big in the world of retail!

Rihanna Preps Fancy Footwork For 'Where Have You Been' Video

'I was never going to shoot this video if I couldn't do choreography,' Rihanna says in behind-the-scenes video montage.

Rihanna has never been known as a dancer, but she's ready to step her game up for her upcoming "Where Have You Been" video. In an almost three-minute-long behind-the-scenes montage clip that surfaced on Thursday, the megastar takes her Navy to the dance studio, where she's seen practicing a routine for the upcoming clip alongside a crew of dancers.

Rocking some appropriate rehearsal attire and simple sneaks, Ri turns to the camera at one point to admit that a dance routine was necessary for the hard dance track's video, saying, "I was never going to shoot this video if I couldn't do choreography, 'cause it would be pretty pointless. It would be disappointing."

As with the foot skills she performed in clips like "Rude Boy" and old-school joint "If It's Lovin' That You Want," choreographer Hi-Hat helped keep Rihanna's moves in line with the singer's comfort and style, while still showing off the most choreography we've ever seen her do.

As one of the world's biggest pop stars, the recent Billboard Music Awards nominee also revealed that devoting time to performance skills for videos is rare. "My schedule has always been so busy, it never really allowed for us to spend time rehearsing and making up dance moves," she said.

Just last week, Rihanna took to her Facebook to tease a dazzling black-and-white shot from the clip, where she's seen exposing her midriff and kneeling before forest-like scenery. No word on when the video will be released, but with a recently announced musical guest gig on "Saturday Night Live," "Where Have You Been" is likely to be one of the singer's performance sets on the May 5 show. This will mark her third appearance on the late-night sketch comedy show, which will be hosted by New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

What do you think of Rihanna's fancy footwork? Sound off below.
