The opening of 'Rehab' performed by Rihanna featuring Justin Timberlake is infused with sexual tension.  Tensions so taught that it angered Jessica Biel, Timberlake's girlfriend while on the video shoot, ohh, let's get ready to rumble!! The video opens with Rihanna in a trailer park in the desert standing longingly on her shiny red car. Timberlake rides in on his metallic stead as her knight in shiny leather clad armor.  There are some provocative images in 'Rehab' with one that can be viewed out of context.

Granted this depends on how much porno you watch or how deep in the gutter your mind wallows, but there is one scene where Rihanna is bent over (briefly) on the hood of the car.  And from this viewers perspective it looks like she's asking for doggy style!

Justin Timberlake plays the role of the nameless and for the most part voiceless ex-lover that flipped Rihanna's world upside down.  In the beginning of the video Timberlake is almost like a sex toy as he takes off his shirt and takes a brief shower, eye candy for the ladies! Rihanna grinds and gyrates on him because she's in love (or addicted) with him 'I never felt something so strong.'  Later on the tone of the attraction begins to change.  Timberlake becomes someone that screws up her life.  She begins to claim that 'I feel so empty and hollow' because of his departure. 

Also she says, 'You're the reason why I'm thinking I don't wanna smoke all/ These cigarettes no more,' which can easily be translated into 'I don't wanna fall in love again.'  Timberlake becomes someone vile and cruel.  He's described as a disease, 'Baby you're my decease.'  This addiction that she had for him becomes as harmful as an addiction to Coke, Meth, Speed, Smack or any other narcotic that has made many a celebrity want to check into the Betty Ford Clinic.

While the video of 'Rehab' is steamy and filled with innuendo it offers up a rather depressing message of a woman trying to rebuild herself after love gone seriously awry.  'Rehab' can be found on Def Jam produced 'Good Girl Gone Bad.'  The video is out now, so check it out.
