When was the last time you imagined Vin Diesel singing to you in the dark on Valentine’s Day? If that has ever happened, did it look a little something like this? The Fast & Furious 6 star went all American Idol on us and gave us a once-in-a-lifetime rendition of Rihanna‘s “Stay” that will easily be the biggest viral video we have seen in quite some time.

When Vin posted the video to his Facebook page and wrote, “Happy V Day…” we knew we were in for a treat! To see Vin perform RiRi’s latest single is absolutely surreal.

Vin Diesel Hits Rihanna’s High Notes — Or Tries, At Least

The actor even attempts the high notes, to varying degrees of success, but the fact that he posted this video at all is a testament to the fact that he is a real fun guy. But it also got us thinking — Which other celebs should start broadcasting their best renditions of hit songs?

Celebrity Karaoke — Who Should Be Next?

The gauntlet has been thrown down! It’s now your turn Robert Pattinson, Ian Somerhalder or any other HollyHunk that dares to show their softer side! Vin provided a Rihanna tribute, but just imagine Rob singing Justin Bieber‘s “As Long As You Love Me” or Ian belting out Taylor Swift‘s “I Knew You Were Trouble”. That might just blow our minds!

Rihanna, 24, is fast becoming music’s biggest bad girl, so it’s no surprise the sultry singer has been tapped to play a seductive villainess in the sixth installment of the Fast And The Furious franchise. This will be the pop superstar’s second feature film role, following this summer’s big-budget blockbuster Battleship!

“Rihanna impressed with her acting debut in Battleship,” a source tells British newspaper The Sun. ”Writers think she’ll be perfect for the role. Her character has plenty of bite and doesn’t take any prisoners — just like her in real life.”

Sounds just like RiRi to us! Hardly a day goes by without the sexy singer making the news for making an inappropriate comment or posting a racy photo on Twitter. She clearly couldn’t care less about what people are saying about her!

“It’s a step up the ladder for her and could lead to bigger action roles,” the insider adds.

Production on Fast & Furious 6 is expected to begin as early as next month. The movie is set is London, where the majority of filming will take place.

It wasn’t a regular monday night at the eatery when I went but rather Valentine’s day. It was extremely busy but not in the least bit overcrowded. I was greeted with a beautiful long-stemmed rose and was promptly sat at my table. They were amazing enough to sit two of us at a table for four unlike other NYC restaurants who would cram a couple into a tiny table to save room. The service was impeccable — from the enthusiastic waiter offering up his best advice on dishes to the bus boys who always seemed to know once I was finished with my last bite. As for the food: The half-shell Oysters were delicious and the crab meat appetizers were to die for. The cocktail sauce had a spicy kick to it which only made it better. The table next to us had Benjamin’s signature canadian bacon that looked great and must have been — because they couldn’t stop raving to us about it!

The entrees were next and let me tell you, even if you are a pescatarian or a vegetarian there is something delicious on the menu for you. The Porter House Steak for one was flawless not to mention huge and the lobster tails with butter melted in your mouth. The cottage fries and broccoli were great but we say — skip the creamed spinach.

We finished off with a little champagne toast – courtesy of their Valentine’s Day special — and a slice of cheesecake big enough for two that comes with chocolate covered strawberries and whip cream. It was a fantastic end to an unforgettably delicious dinner.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been separated from their cast mates for the past few weeks, but worry not, they have a new pal to play with — Vin Diesel! A source tells HollywoodLife, “[Rob and Kristen] had a dinner last night with The Fast and the Furious cast. Van Diesel was there. It was a private dinner that the hotel offered to them. After that they went back to they room and keep ordeing service room until very late.” Late night party with K-Stew and R-Patz — awesome!

The whole group was at the Copacabana Palace, where they are staying. Our sourse also said of Kristen and Rob, “She is very beautiful, and has perfect white skin. And he’s handsome too. They make a great couple.”

What do you think about Kristen and Rob’s new buddy?
