WHILE U STARVIN THE NEXT MAN IS EATIN….

I SWEAR BRAT & MARIAH ARE LESBIAN LOVERS

MEL B IS THE HOTNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

@65 HONESTLY, I AGREE WITH YOU 100%!!!

@I SPEAK MY MIND,

u r an ignorant beyonce stan. on the billboard chart 100 beyonce has the biggest song in 2007 with rihanna second with umbrella. that is in the USA. ON THE WORLD CHART, RIHANNA HAS 2007′S BIGGEST SONG. check the WORLD CHART.

bey has the hot 100 in USA and RIHANNA HAS THE WORLD CHART BIGGEST HIT FOR 2007. get ya facts straight. RIHANNA’S UMBRELLA SONG IS THE NINTH BIGGEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL SONG IN THE LAST DECADE ON THE WORLD CHART. AND ON THAT CHART, NONE OF BEYONCE’S HITS APPEAR.

RIHANNA DID NOT ADD CIARA TO SELL TICKETS. CIARA USED THE TOUR TO PROMOTE HER CD CAUSE IT DIDNOT DO WELL IN THE UK. RIHANNA’S TOURS HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL CAUSE THE IRISH AND THE BRITISH HAVE ASKED BACK FOR HER THIS YEAR. go and do ya research.

rihanna was never dissed by the russians, they said she should have charged more since the man has a lot of money., but instead she asked for half a million. SHE WAS ASKED TO PERFORMED FOR RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRES. why didnt they ask for BEYONCE?

RIHANNA NEVER SAID SHE ADORES WHITE MEN, SHE IMPLIED THAT IN BARBADOS THERE ARE WHITE MEN BUT SHE NEVER WAS ATTRACTED TO THE BAJAN WHITE MEN, BUT WHEN SHE WENT TO THE USA SHE REALIZED THAT WHITE MEN ARE KILLIN IT, SHE NOW CAN LOOK BOTH WAY BLACK AN WHITE TO CHOOSE A PARTNET. HER STATEMENTS DIDNT IMPLY THAT SHE WANTED TO BE A LATINA LIKE BEYONCE. BEYONCE OPENLY SAID SHE WISH SHE WAS LATINA. NOW THAT IS WAT I CALL SELF-HATE. RIHANNA NEVER IMPLIED SELF-HATE.

BTW, RIHANNA’S GGGB CD DEBUTED AT NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD while mary j blige is not on the chart. REMEMBER THAT THE USA IS NOT THE ONLY PLACE THAT LISTENS TO MUSIC. RIHANNA IS AN INTERNATIONAL STAR, MARY J BLIGE IS NOT.

BTW, IN BARBADOS THERE ARE HATERS, YES, I ADMIT BUT THE COUNTRY STILL ADORES HER CAUSE HER MUSIC IS PLAYED ON THE RADIO, HER VIDEOS ARE SHOWN ON TV, HER AWARDS ARE IN THE PAPER, ETC. BARBADOS LOVES RIHANNA, THE HATERS ARE MINORITY IN BARBADOS. I LIVE HERE SO I KNOW WAT I AM TALKIN BOUT.

RIHANNA HAS WAY WAY MORE SUCCESS THAN CIARA, KEYSHIA, KELLY ROWLAND, ETC.

SHE WON NUMEROUS AWARDS INTERNATIONALLY AND IN AMERICAN INCLUDIN VMAS AND AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS.

IF RIHANNA CALLS THE PAP THEN BEYONCE DOES IT ALSO.

Rhianna’s body is straight shutting it down in that full length pic! I look at that and I immediately wanna get a membership at Bally’s or Gold’s Gym or somewhere!
Go head Miss Rhianna! Fierce!

I thought Mel B was Alicia too–I had to do a double take!
Garcelle looks great for just popping out twins!
That Tiger wrap that Pauletta has is hideous!

Most of you people are crazy, head-over hills for people who can’t pay none of your bills.Why type out long-drawn out essays about people who don’t even know who the hell you are?You can win a grammy for all I care, but that don’t mean you the best.Stop being statistical because true talent hasn’t been recognized in a while.Ok that was off topic.

Garcelle is pretty

I SPEAK MY MIND!

I think you are hilarious and giving the Rihanna fans something to get mad about.
LMFAO!!!!

By the way I don’t think she’s talented either.

Rihanna and Mariah…Please get to the tanning booth ASAP!

rihanna is so fly she doesn’t even have to try hard and she still looks sexy..i am working out today for 2 hrs…lol..she has inspired me..her body is on point..

I always thought Gabby and Garcelle were related and Mel B is rocking way too much hair

I thought Mel B was KIMORA and lil Emma was Jessica Simpson.

What kind of name is Emma for a Spice Girl.

Hey Bouga and Bashy - I miss y’all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh…….and Rihanna STAY LOSIN’

“and I hate how much I hate your song, I can’t stand how much I hear it” - sang to her tune!

I HATE THAT ALIEN!

but..

Mel b looks FIERCE!

Is the food at Mr. Chow’s good?

When Da Brat and MC met in 1995 (BFF) no Homo here!

From JD’s Book good read>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Always Be My Baby [Working with Mariah for the First Time]
In 1995, I got a call from Sony’s boss Tommy Mottola to come to New York, to do some producing for his wife at the time, Mariah Carey. I never worked with a pop diva before, so I was kinda surprised they wanted me there. I thought my style would be too street for her. But it turns out that having me up there was all her idea.

We first met at a Grammy party with Kris Kross a few years before. We talked about some kid she and her manager were thinking about signing but it never worked out. One of the Kris Kross guys was crushin’ on her at the time and was all excited about meeting her, but that period was a blur for me. Or maybe I just wasn’t all that impressed back then.

For a minute Mariah - or MC as I like to call her - had been itching to do something different from the usual safe stuff that her label wanted her to stick with. But every time she suggested some hip-hop guy to work with Tommy said, “No Way.” He didn’t trust some rapper/producer being around his girl. I guess it was part jealousy and part fear that an association like that might hurt her image with her fan base.

Even though Mariah always considered herself to be first and foremost a black woman, everyone at the label was scared of her being too urban. She’s far from some ‘hood rat’, but she’s definitely a lil’ ghetto and she was tired of being called the “ballad queen.”

Whatever reservations he had about his girl going hip hop, for some reason Tommy was okay with me. It probably helped that I was already part of Columbia and he was the CEO of Sony. That basically made him my boss’s boss. He already knew from Xscape that I could do crossover R&B stuff, so he was comfortable with my style. He figured I could give his girl a vibe that was new and fresh, but not too off the charts. Or maybe he was fine with it because in his mind I was just a quiet lil’ country boy from Atlanta who didn’t seem like too much of a threat.

Me and MC knocked out our first song, “Always Be My Baby,” at the Hit Factory in New York. At first I didn’t even want to speak up when I had an idea about how a song should go. I was way out of my comfort zone. Most of my artist had no idea what to do and were looking to me to tell them, but Mariah sold tens of millions of records and I didn’t think she’d take kindly to being bossed by me. On top of it all, our work schedules weren’t really meshing.

I’m used to starting late and working through the night. My creative juices usually don’t get flowing until after midnight, but on her clock we had to start before noon. When Tommy came by the studio to pick her up and take her to diner around six we wouldn’t see her for the rest of the day. No matter what we were into at the studio, even if I was in the middle of working on some crucial hook, the work had to stop for dinner. It went like that for the whole week we were recording together.

Being a collaborator with someone as big and talented as Mariah was something totally new to me. I couldn’t find my voice in that situation because my confidence still had to kick in. Then Mariah kinda corrected me. She told me my silence was bugging her out. She needed me to be me and assert myself.

“Look, I didn’t ask you up here to nod and smile and say ‘yeah’ all the time,” she said. “If you’ve got something to say, say it!”

That girl expanded my mind. Once I knew what she wanted from me, it was nothing less than a full partnership. We bounced ideas back and forth. When we were exploring an idea together and something really clicked, we’d both look up at each other at the same time. We just knew.

MC knew exactly what she wanted and what she needed to take from me, and she worked fast. Once we were ready to record, it almost never took more than one take to get it right, and if I needed a redo I didn’t even have to tell her. She just fixed it right away.

The following year that first record went on to be one of her biggest of all time. If anything, the joint is even hotter these days. All the pop singers, from Nelly Furtado to Christina Aguilera, are trying on some variation of an R&B/hip-hop crossover, but back then she was the first. Her audience was ready for her to mix it up.

A hit like that usually leads to a remix, so a few months later Mariah had us come to her house to try out a few things. When me, Manuel and Phil Tan flew up to New York and made the long car ride up to their estate we really didn’t know what to expect. Tommy had a scary reputation. There were all these rumors floating around that he was connected to the mob somehow. I didn’t know about that stuff, but I did know that everyone was afraid of him. I doubt anyone’s ever been whacked, but he had the power to kill careers if somebody was stupid enough to piss him off.

Her place blew my mind. It was the biggest house I’d ever seen, except for the sultan of Brunei’s crib. Ralph Lauren’s mansion was right up the street, but I bet Tommy and Mariah’s place was bigger. The studio was as large as the Hit Factory, and everything in it, all that cutting-edge equipment, was exactly what they had at Sony’s studio in Manhattan. The only difference was this one looked out on an Olympic-size indoor pool with a painted blue sky. It was amazing. It was every bit of a house you would want. When I first saw it I said to myself, “Man, I’d love to get me a place like this some day.”

Tommy was nice to us despite his scary reputation. We were his guests so he made a point of being the gracious host. We were only there for the day, but he gave us the grand tour. But Mariah only started relaxing when Tommy and his people weren’t around. She had household staff, security people, and assistants running around all over the place watching her every move. You couldn’t even go to the bathroom without someone coming in right afterward to wipe everything down. It was like they were waiting outside the door listening when you were doing your do!

We weren’t really free to just chill and let the music flow like it would back home in Atlanta. I didn’t have all my equipment and toys to work with. It was just me, Phil, Manuel, Mariah, her piano, and about a dozen assistants hovering close by. The expectation was on us to get it done, fast.

The tension got even worse when Brat flew up to record her piece in the remix later that day. In that hushed, uptight environment my lil’ sis was like some Tasmanian devil on crack. Tommy had no idea what he signed up for.

When Brat arrived at the mansion she was all nervous. At first she couldn’t even write her verse because she was so star-struck over meeting Mariah. MC was just as taken with my lil’ sister. Even though Mariah was all girlie with her Hello Kitty obsession and sexy clothes, Brat’s tomboy style was like her flip side. Brat acted out the way Mariah wished she could if only she didn’t have Tommy’s people always watching her.

Brat couldn’t handle how clean and perfect the whole place was. Even the food bothered her. She was hungry, but she didn’t want to touch all the fancy caterer stuff like bagels, cut fruit, and cheeses that were laid out in the studio. “This is video shoot food,” she said, stamping her feet. Then she did her Brat thing and stirred up some major trouble.

“I’m hungry! Let’s go get a cheeseburger,” she said to Mariah.

It was the excuse Mariah was looking for to get out of there and go for a joy ride in one of the dozen sports cars she was never allowed to drive. Brat made her feel real bold. Finally Mariah had a partner in crime. She was only too happy to give Brat a ride to McDonald’s, so the two of them split without telling anyone where they were going.

People kept asking me, “Where’s Mariah, where’d she go?”

I didn’t know what to tell them. I knew they were probably going out to get some food, but knowing Brat anything could happen.

“O !%*$,” I thought. “Tommy’s gonna be pissed.”

I called Brat. Mariah’s cell phone had already rung a dozen times. Brat saw it was me on the caller ID so she picked up. “Yeah J.D., what’s goin’ on?” she said, all innocent. I could hear Mariah laughing in the background.

“Brat, are you crazy? Where the hell are y’all going?” I said.

“J.D., we’re just going to Mickey D’s for some burgers, I don’t know why everyone keeps calling, it’s no big deal,” she said.

“Brat, please don’t get in the middle of this. Stay outta this !%*$. Tommy’s having a fit. I don’t want you to get into any trouble with him. Get back here now!”

“J.D. I’m not the one driving okay,” she said. “Mariah’s not turning around. We’re just going to McDonald’s. It’s only half a mile up the road!”

The girls weren’t gone long, maybe half an hour. But you’d think by everyone’s reaction that Mariah was being kidnapped at gunpoint, not getting a cheeseburger and fries. After the incident nothing more was said, but Brat and Mariah have been the best of friends ever since that lil’ joyride together.

Seeing Mariah’s life was an awakening for Brat. She was always obsessed with having stuff, ever since that tantrum over the Mickey Mouse watch in the mall. She was just starting to come into her money and thought her platinum album meant she’d be able to buy all that stuff and her life would be happy.

But meeting Mariah, who had all the toys and clothes Brat could ever dream of, and coming to understand how sad and lonely her life was at the time, was just the thing to give Brat some perspective.

Even though she never let it affect her grind as an artist, I’m sure it was tough for Mariah living like some caged canary and being watched all the time. But that’s her story to tell in her own book!

Bajan sit your psycho ass down somewhere

Beyonce gets paid over 3 mill to perform and Rihanna is less talented and a lot cheaper which is why they got her. She only charge pitiful 500,000. Beyonce is too big of a celebrity and they couldn’t afford her dumbass so learn your facts.
Beyonce had the biggest song of 2007 and the Grammy’s and everything else is in the U.S. Nobody cares about world charts so get your facts straight. Beyonce won that international artist award not Rihanna so it’s no contest that Beyonce is a much bigger international success.

Rihanna has not made no history. Nobody’s made more history than Beyonce. She’s been the first black female to win several special awards and Rihanna has never been the first to do ANYTHING. Not one thing. She’s copied her idol Beyonce several times among other people and she’s not original. So please what little bit Rihanna has accomplished don’t look like shit compared to Beyonce’s success who has accomplished wayyy more. At least when Bey was 19 she could sell records, Rihanna can’t even do that that’s why she flopped. LMAO So please it’s no comparison.

Beyonce, Alicia, Mary are>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rihanna aka Pon De Forehead. LMAO

Poor Rihalien stans. LMAO

Garcelle Beauvois-Nilon looks absolutely amazing as usual.:o)

Da Brat and Mariah have been best friends since the mid-90’s. Ya’ll are late if you’re just finding that out!

Rhi is simply fabulous…her style is sick…it’s like she puts stuff together that most people wouldn’t think to put together, and it works, i mean she pulls it off. This outfit is casually funky….i love it….especially the bag.

Mel B’s body is ridiculous after her baby…..i pray when i have a child, i can bounce back like that. I think i will, so far all the women in my family haven’t had any problems…i’m praying for the same miracle one day.

I never knew how much Gabby and Garcelle looked like sisters!

all the girls loof great!!! I was wondering how is that the Brat stays in hte lasted fashions but hasnt had done anytihing is years. I guess it great to have friends in high places

Garcelle Beauvois-Nilon and Gabrielle Union ….Please Call Me? (shemar19gy@gmail.com)

Mel B lookin’ sexxxy as hell!!!

OK, what’s up with Mariah and DaBrat?????? They are always together! They have been hanging for damn near a decade! DaBrat looks so beautiful dressed very feminine and sexy but she is hard as hell and butchy as shit.. I never see Mariah with a guy always Dabrat. Rihanna looks nice I guess I could really give a damn about her..

Come on what does Leona have to do with Rihanna? Shes a totally diffrent type. Good why do yall have to always compare everyone to Rihanna or Beyonce.
Anyways I hate that song from Leona, sounds cheap and its annoying

SO DA BRAT IS MUNCHING ON THE OL’ MARIAH CARPET, HUH? GARCELLE LOOKS GREAT AND SHE JUST HAD TWINS. AND GABRIELLE, PLEASE MAKE A GOOD MOVIE FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.

I think Rihanna looks great. Oh, and she doesn’t have to dress up all the time.
Quit hating on Rihanna. She’s a pretty girl with a lot of style.

I just wish people would quit being so judgemental. Why do we also feel the need to tear each other apart? So sad.

@ #7

This is what I can’t understand with you MENTAL MIDGET NEGROES.. You whine when black people can’t get jobs, etc.. Here is a girl that gets attention. Perhaps, this is a change in the right direction. Instead of being happy for her, the IGNORANT Black American ghetto mafia have to jump in and talk nonsense about Rihanna should be deported, or that her forehead is big or she pays the paps.

The girl is not on welfare. Whether she can sing like Mariah or Aretha is not and will never be the point. Rihanna is an image or brand and IT SELLS, just like OPRAH sells. That is why the PAPS want more of her.

Who pays the Paps to follow them? Really, you people sound IGNORANT and DUMB! The PAPS make their money on people that are “RELEVANT” to the times. As crazy as she is, BRIT BIT is relevant because she sells tabloids. Money talks and BULLSHIT walks. Perhaps one can tip off the paps and I highly doubt Rihanna needs to pay or tip anyone off to take her pics.

There is also something that Rihanna has that a lot of other black female artists don’t, that is ACCESS TO A WIDER AUDIENCE!! Rihanna is supported by the entire Caribbean, who unlike black Americans, support our people. Not just in the caribbean, but South America and the Bajan & caribbean community in Europe as well.. Homegirl would also be touring in Africa and connecting with the diaspora, whereas black American don’t understand this.

Rihanna is what you call a HUB, a highly connected agent in a large network. Rihanna is gorgeous and if I had a product, I would want her to wear it too.. Kudos to Marc Jacobs! Most 19 year olds look like SH*T, but this girl always looks stylish and hip. Maybe you wouldn’t wear it, but don’t knowck it!

Perhaps when folks get the concept, you would stop talking CRAP and try to figure out ways you can become more marketable, instead of envying other people’
s hard work and success. At 15 years of age, Rihanna was in America paving her path by herself with no mother nursing her, I think she turned out damn good!! Go RiRi!!

You are your worst enemies!!
