Continuing her publicity onslaught for new album Rated R, Rihanna has stripped down for GQ magazine’s January 2010 issue.

And not just literally, either; this straight-to-the-point cover story titled “Good Girl Gone Badass” possibly reveals more of Rihanna’s stilted, real personality than all of her previous interviews (Diane Sawyer, Angie Martinez, etc) did combined.
