Behind his dark glasses Justin Timberlake could be looking anywhere - but there’s one shapely attraction he could be forgiven for eyeing.
Rihanna’s curvacious behind, clad only in fishnet stockings, was undoubtedly the star of the show as the popstar duo filmed the video for their new single on the beach in Los Angeles yesterday.

Above the waist the Umbrella singer was the image of propriety, clothed in a multi-coloured wrap top and demure net hat. But her long legs were on display in all their glory as she stalked around the beach in cripplingly high platforms.
Justin was wrapped up somewhat warmer than Rihanna, in black jeans and a leather jacket.
There have been rumours that the two have dated in the past.

But both are now in happy relationships, with Justin dating actress Jessica Biel, while Rihanna is with fellow R&B artist Chris Brown.
In fact rather than flirtatious relations between Rihanna and Justin looked decidedly frosty as the two stood face-to-face on the beach.

But instead of a fall-out it seems the two were acting out scenes from Rehab off Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad album.
After a quick costume change, Rihanna then stole the limelight again as she lay on a sunbed in suspenders and a pair of 40s style sunglasses.
