Bite me! Rihanna poses in shark’s mouth

Rihanna is from the island of Barbados — so she’s clearly unafraid of chumming around with sharks. Not just this fake great white for the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine — but also any “sharks” circling around the entertainment biz.

The 26-year-old songstress says, “I try my best to avoid the sharks of life, but I have had my share of experiences with them, and in those cases, I just have to handle them accordingly. But I do not swim with sharks … sharks swim with sharks.”

The superstar — whose latest video, for the song “FourFiveSeconds,” features big fish Paul McCartney and Kanye West — sure has come a long way since she was just little Robyn Rihanna Fenty on the Caribbean isle. Back then, she says, she was big into sharks: “I was obsessed with ‘Jaws.’ Steven Spielberg was my childhood hero.”
