Rihanna & Alex Da Kid in the studio...

Seeing Rihanna in the studio recording album number eight is making the Navy very excited. She's been popping up in the booth every so often. This photo shows her in the studio yesterday, rocking an oversized long-sleeved t-shirt from DKNY.

She is seen with producer/song writer Alexander Grant, who's worked on her Eminem duet for 'Love The Way You Lie'. Whatever they're cooking, we hope it's fire!
