Red hot Rita: Ora seduces the crowd at Glastonbury
WEARING a dress made out of JODIE MARSH’s hair made sure Rita stood out.
She didn’t have enough material to cover her backside but the lads in the front row didn’t mind one bit.
With her “wifey” CARA DELEVINGNE, watching on, the singer went all BONO to the crowd, saying: “We’re making love. No war tonight.”
As well as her hits Rita broke into a rendition of N.E.R.D.’s She Wants To Move.
Sure PHARRELL wouldn’t mind having a crack at another collaboration.

Malta teaser: Rita Ora parades her hot body on the Med island
THERE’S nothing masculine about Rita Ora’s flawless figure.
The singer showed off her toned physique in a tiny tight top – bearing the word “tomboy” – bikini bottoms and a baseball cap.
She was understandably eager to share her body with the world, posting several images of herself on Twitter.
Rita stripped off in Malta, where she’s performing at the Isle Of MTV gig today.
Another snap features the Hot Right Now star perched on a mooring post as she soaks up the rays on the Mediterranean island.
She’s also caught on camera strolling along a path and flaunting her derriere while holding her make-up bag.
Rita has been a busy girl of late – she spent the early part of June working in Los Angeles before briefly reuniting in London with hitmaker boyfriend Calvin Harris.
The Brit chart-topper recently revealed she feels lucky to be in such a happy relationship.
She said: “I feel so small and looked after. I am very happy.
“I’m in such a happy place. I’m so lucky that I’ve found somebody who is exactly like me.”
Rita Ora channels convict style in quirky outfit
POP beauty Rita Ora was spotted covering up her curves in an unusual outfit yesterday.
The 22-year-old singer was channelling a jailbird vibe in a black and white striped jumpsuit as she stepped out in West London.
She teamed the Stella McCartney number with a pair of suede boots and hid her peepers under some vintage-style shades.
The Hot Right Now hit-maker topped off her quirky daytime look with a slick of red lippie, and let her luscious locks tumble over her shoulders.
Rita also tweeted a snap of herself posing in the unusual ensemble to her legions of fans.
She wrote: "Abbey road take 2... In Stella McCartney #portobello #fashionkilla #ldn #werk."
The babe was all smiles as she strolled around swanky Portobello Road, possibly due to the fact she recently spent quality time with DJ fella Calvin Harris.
She flew out to meet him in LA and says she is "in such a happy place - I'm so lucky that I've found someone just like me."
Now the sexy star is preparing herself for an appearance at Glasto this weekend.

Get yer Rita Ora nose hair trimmer here
RITA ORA will be a busy woman over the next few months – and it’s got nothing to do with her next album.
She has applied for one of the most extensive trademark patents of all time.
If the singer’s lawyers are successful, we could soon see Rita’s name on everything from moisturisers and nail varnish to pets’ clothing and video games.
The star recently filed her second application at the patent office, aimed mainly at products which would be available in a pharmacy, such as hair removal cream, spatulas and hair pieces.
Not sure how many fans will shell out for Rita Ora nasal hair trimmers, though.
Even her best pal model CARA DELEVINGNE is unlikely to go for that one.
The latest patent application follows one made in November last year in a bid to brand all kinds of gear from talcum powder and cotton wool to umbrellas and watercolour paint.
Rita — who arrived at London’s Heathrow airport yesterday after spending the week in LA with DJ fella CALVIN HARRIS — is also looking to branch out into the male market, with tie clips, briefcases and paper beer mats.
So you could soon have Rita’s mug looking back at you while nursing a pint.
A source said: “She has applied for a trademark on everything under the sun.
“The stuff she could put her name on would be enough to fill an entire Rita Ora shop.
“Merchandising has become huge business these days. We’ve already seen the likes of ONE DIRECTION cashing in on things like toothbrushes and perfume. But a trademark like hers is staggering.
“You’d have to be a mega fan to want some Rita nose hair trimmers.”

Rita Ora cuddles up to Calvin Harris in a dress that’s tie dye for
RITA Ora is back in the arms of hitmaker Calvin Harris after her short trip back to London this week.
The Hot Right Now singer couldn’t keep her hands off the hunky Scottish DJ as they met up in Los Angeles yesterday.
Rita, 22, wore a white and purple tie-dye dress for their shopping expedition to Barneys followed by a trip to a grocery store.
Her blonde hair — which has been lengthened with extensions — was worn down in loose waves, adding to the hippy vibe.
But the overall look was given an injection of wacky with some Dame Edna style sunglasses and trainers.
The loved-up pair were briefly separated when Rita returned to her hometown for an intimate gig at Sony’s HQ this Tuesday.
She wore a skimpy red dress for the launch of Sony’s Xperia Access phone platform, but it didn’t stop her from pulling out some energetic dance moves.
The singer is back in LA to record her second studio album, and the timing couldn’t be better, since Calvin, 29, is about to start a residency at the Hakkasan nightclub in Las Vegas.

IF CARA DELEVINGNE AND I DID A FASHION LINE IT WOULD BE BOWIE MEETS BOY CHIC
‘R.I.P’ songstress Rita Ora has revealed that if she does end up collaborating with model Cara Delevingne on a fashion line it would have an androgynous yet rock chick appeal.
Speaking exclusively to Marie Claire at a recent event, the beauty explained that they are both keen to design a collection together as they have similar styles: “It would be like boy chic meets crazy Bon Jovi, meets… I mean… not Bon Jovi. ”
“Boy George… meets… what’s his name? My mind’s just gone blank… with the lightning bolt? Bowie! Not Boy George. Bowie meets boy chic, meets… just two girls having a good time.”
Meanwhile, Ora and Delevingne hit the stage together last week for an impromptu duet (pictured above left) at the DKNY Artworks launch in London and she confessed it wasn’t planned at all:
“It was just a good laugh. I actually had no idea she was going to come on stage. Literally, I was performing and I saw her in the crowd and I said ‘you’re going to get eaten alive’ so I was like ‘come up’. She came up and she was just raving out, and I was like ‘f**k it, let’s just rave out’, so we did and it ended up just turning into a party, and people were like ‘did you plan it?’ and we were like ‘no, what is there to plan, her running on stage?’”
My mum hates it when I flash my breasts
Shine Ya Light’ hitmaker Rita Ora has revealed that her skimpy stage outfits might excite her fans, but her mother is often less than impressed with the amount of flesh she flashes.
During a chat with Interview Germany, the songstress explained that it’s not unusual for her to expose her chest when she’s leaning over on stage singing and her mum has called her out on it more than once:
“The only thing my mum hates more than a lack of reliability is when I flash my breasts at a gig. I really have to pay more attention to wearing bras.”
Opening up about her childhood and relationship with her family members, Ora confessed that money was tight and she was brought up with a very strong work ethic thanks to her parents:
“We lived in a council flat in Ladbroke Grove. My mum worked as a cleaning lady and caught up on her studies in the evenings. My dad took on every job he could get, he worked like mad. But then at some point he had saved up enough to open his first pub.”
Rita Ora dreams of duet with Madona
 |
After it was announced last week that Rita Ora is to be the new face of Madonna’s clothing line Material Girl, the 22-year-old pop singer is hoping that a duet with her idol could follow.
“I would die if that happened,” she tells Mandrake at the #DKNY Artworks party at Lambeth Fire Station. “I would be the happiest girl on the planet, but I’m never going to ask her. I’ll have to just dream one day she might.” Ora says she got stage fright when she met the Like a Virgin singer to do the shoot. “When I first met her, you could see in the picture I was so nervous but she was so nice,” she says. “I was told Lourdes was a fan, and she was really, really sweet and told her mum about me.” |

Rita Ora is tum girl on date with DJ Calvin Harris
YOU’D never know it from these snaps but RITA ORA tucked into a giant burger just before heading out in a barely there top to meet her DJ fella CALVIN HARRIS.
A white pudding supper would’ve pushed her over the edge.
The pair were snapped saying goodbye in LA before Rita jetted home to do promotional work.
That and she must have run out of clean clothes, given the clobber she’s got on...
Rita Ora throws some crazy shapes at London gig
RITA Ora didn't hold back with her dance moves at a high-intensity London gig last night.
The Hot Right Now singer wore a skimpy red dress for the occasion but it didn't stop her from throwing some almighty shapes on stage.
Rita performed in front of an intimate crowd at Sony Music's London HQ to launching the new Xperia Access phone platform.
Calvin Harris' girl looked fresh-faced despite stepping off a flight from the US only hours earlier.
As she performed hit singles from her debut album Ora the star opened up to the audience about her crazy year.
She said: "This past year has been the most surreal part of my life since I've been alive. But it's pretty awesome and I'm so excited that I get to do a second album."
After the gig, Rita vamped it up in a sexier red bustier dress for a photocall with the press.
Shortly afterward she made an exit wearing outfit No.3 - a green and gold shirtdress, topped off with matching gold heels.

Rita likes to party to
Rita Ora has admitted she does enjoy “a party or two”. The bleach-blonde singer is known for her love of having a good time and is often seen out on the town with her famous pal Cara Delevingne.
New friend Iggy Azalea recently joked the star is a “bad influence”, with Rita often “dragging” her out to events.
“I do like having a party or two, especially when you are blonde – it’s like a blonde ambition,” the Hot Right Now singer laughed to the British edition of OK! magazine.
Rita has certainly made quite an impression on Australian star Iggy, with rumours rife the Brit will even feature on her new album.
The star has helped Iggy feel at home when she’s in the UK.
“I love her, she’s such good fun,” Iggy gushed.
“I’ve made a few Brit friends but I met Rita last year in America and she asked me to open for her on the road in the States. We became, really, really good friends, then when I came to Britain she was the only person I knew, so we just connected. I love her sister too and everybody she works with, her dancers, her stylists… Her team and my team just run amok!”
Both singers performed at the Chime for Change, Sound of Change concert earlier this month.

Hot right wow: Rita Ora shows off her toned tum in gym kit
SPORTY Rita Ora makes for a colourful sight on the streets of LA as she hits Hollywood in a neon green crop top.
The Hot Right Now singer flaunted her impressive abs as she went shopping in West Hollywood on Thursday.
The 22-year-old sported black lycra leggings and hid behind a pair of oversized cat eye-style sunglasses.
Bare-faced Rita also clutched an energy drink as she made her way to a friend’s VW Beetle.
And the singer admitted spending time in the States makes her want to step up on the fitness front.
Writing on Twtitter, she said: “Hello LA. hot LA. how I love it here makes me wana be healthy. Lol.”
The star looked remarkably fresh despite touching down in the city just hours before.
On Wednesday, she hit the stage at the DKNY Afterworks launch party in London and wowed fans with an energetic set.
The How We Do songstress was joined on stage by BFF Cara Delevigne – and the pair put on a raunchy show as they danced wildly in front of screaming fans.
It’s thought that Rita is in the States to work on new tracks for her upcoming second album.

Bum's the word for Cara and Rita's raunchy gig dance
CARA DELEVINGNE and RITA ORA’s first public performance together brought back memories of Russian girlband T.A.T.U.
The twosome threw some X-rated shapes at the London concert before Cara grabbed the mic to show off her own vocal talents during Rita’s tune How We Do (Party).
At one point, Cara pounded her body against Rita's bum as the chart star submissively bent over.
The grinding on stage at The Fire Station bar in London’s Waterloo was so heated that Professor Green’s fiancée Millie Mackintosh banned him from watching.
Catwalk star Cara - who seemed reluctant to hand back the mic - has made no secret of her desire to launch a music career.
Earlier this year, she announced she’s working on her debut solo album – and has enlisted Rita’s help in the studio.
A source said: “Cara’s singing voice is a lot better than anyone will expect.
“She started sessions in LA this month and has already played Rita a few of the songs she’s come up with.
“She has a first single ready to go that she is considering releasing online soon. Cara is lucky that in her friendship group she has loads of mates in the music industry.
“Rita has promised to head into the studio with her so they can record together. They want to create a fun pop track together.”
Meanwhile, the model has yet again proved how well she scrubs up in front of the camera.
She looks every bit a supermodel in a new ad for Yves Saint Laurent’s autumn 2013 campaign.
Sporting bright two-tone eye shadow, Cara cuts a striking sight in a gaping neck-tied frock.
She teamed her flesh-flashing gown with freshly-styled hair and struck a pose that justifies her rise to prominence in the fashion industry.
However, her eye-catching appearance is in stark contrast to the way she looked after landing in New York earlier this week.
The 20-year-old looked exhausted as she touched down following another long-haul journey.
What a difference a good night’s sleep can make.
And a load of make-up and airbrushing...

Wade to go, Rita
RITA ORA appears to have just returned from a fishing trip ahead of her latest photoshoot.
Her knee-high boots would make great fisherman’s waders and those boxes could easily hold her rods and maggots.
The singer was posing backstage at Parklife Festival in Manchester on Sunday.
She appeared at Party in The Paddock the previous day in Newbury, Berks, so it was fortunate for the tired star that the shoot meant sitting down.
Rita will also be performing at Wireless and in my backyard, Kinross, for T In The Park next month.
There’ll be plenty of places to fish nearby at the latter.
Rita Ora’s a skulled dresser: Singer’s heady wardrobe choice
RITA Ora shows off her skulls with the mic – in a thigh-flashing outfit covered in spooky heads.
The singer wore a mini-skirt, top, jacket AND boots printed all over with the different skulls.
Rita showed off the bizarre garb and her shapely thighs as she took to the stage at Parklife on Sunday night.
The only splash of colour was provided by her bright-red microphone and equally red lippy.
Rita went through a number of eye-catching outfits over the weekend, arriving at the Manchester festival in racy over-the-knee boots combined with a floral jumpsuit.
She also enjoyed spending time with Example before getting on stage, tweeting a picture of herself with the rapper.
She wrote: “You can’t touch this mafia! @example about to cause a fuss in Manchester.”
Meanwhile, she doesn’t seem to keep as close an eye on buying a house as she does on her wardrobe choices.
She left it to her mum and dad to finalise a deal on a house she has just bought.
And she told Glamour magazine: “I bought my first house the other week and I haven’t even seen it. I just trusted my mum and dad’s opinion.”
Tummy-baring pop star Rita Ora is Hot to trot Right Now
RITA Ora ensures all bets are off as she leads the field at Newbury Racecourse.
The Hot Right Now singer, 22, put in an energetic shift at her race meet gig last night, parading her toned tum in a busty multi-coloured crop top.
Teaming the garment with matching baggy trousers, Rita helped ease the disappointment of those who’d lost their shirts on the gee-gees with a mood-lifting performance.
The body-confident Brit was in jovial spirits throughout her Party In The Paddock set, smiling frequently and belting out her tunes into a red microphone.
No doubt Rita’s happiness is partly down to Calvin Harris – the chart-topping dance titan she’s currently dating.
Smitten Scottish DJ Calvin revealed their romance when they were snapped together last month.
Rita subsequently proclaimed her love for Calvin at a gig in London.
Introducing a new song she wrote about her bitter break-up with US reality star Rob Kardashian, the pop beauty told the Café De Paris crowd: “This song is called Out Of Love, not in love, even though I am in love.”
Rob launched a bitter tirade at Rita following their split last year, accusing her of cheating on him with “nearly 20 dudes”.
After the furore had died down, the singer admitted she feared his unfounded outburst had ruined her career.
She said: “I don't vocalise things that don't deserve attention. But it was something that was so unnecessary. Why would you flood people's brains with unnecessary s***?
“In my world, things like that just aren't important. Twitter... can ruin your life. I thought I nearly had a 'ruined' moment, but no.”

Dazzling Rita Ora’s Hot White Now
STUNNING singer Rita Ora brightens up boyfriend Calvin Harris’s morning — as she pops out for breakfast in this sexy low-cut white outfit.
The loved-up pair were spotted heading out yesterday for a cosy bite to eat at a London cafe.
And gorgeous Hot Right Now singer Rita turned plenty of heads as she strolled in the sun in her revealing all-in-one playsuit.
Smitten DJ Calvin, 29, from Dumfries, revealed his romance with the 22-year-old star when they were snapped together last month.
One onlooker said: “Rita looked fantastic. Calvin’s a lucky man.”
Cara is planning Rita-il line
AFTER CARA DELEVINGNE’s gushing speech about RITA ORA at the Glamour Awards on Tuesday the pair want to cement their relationship.
The model and singer are planning a joint clothing range.
A source said: “Rita and Cara have been talking about the idea for weeks now. Cara has great fashion industry contacts and Rita loves her clothes and keeps up with trends.
“They think a line could compete with those released by VICTORIA BECKHAM and KATE MOSS.
“Rita’s become increasingly matey with CHLOE GREEN and has mentioned the idea to her in the hope that she might help get it to her dad, Topshop boss PHILIP.”
Rapper WRETCH 32 was sitting near Cara at the awards do and spent half the night trying to chat to her.
That may explain why she didn’t stay for the afterparty.

Iggy Azalea confirms Rita Ora collaboration
Iggy Azalea has confirmed that Rita Ora will feature on her upcoming debut album.
The 22-year-old will include a collaboration with the ‘Radioactive’ singer on the LP, due for release in September.
She told the Daily Star: “Rita Ora will be on the album. I had a song in mind, and I need a woman with a big voice to sing the chorus because I can’t do it.”
The ‘Bounce’ star recently supported Ora on tour.
Last month she told Digital Spy that her fans need to “trust their fave” and back her decision to release ‘Bounce’ on July 8.
She explained: “The problem with kids – and I was one of these people too – is that they think they work in the industry and know how it all works. They’re like, ‘Put ‘Bounce’ out now or it’s gonna flop!’ I’m like, ‘I need to promote it first or it’s gonna flop!’”
