Ugh that big fivehead ho Rihalien would fug up the pics. She is so ugly and talentless to me. I’m glad the REAL artists are coming back and Rihalien will be on the first plane back to Barbados because her 15 mins are up! Her, Ashanti, and Cassie should start the no talent ho’s club. LMFAO
Everybody else looks good.
Oh and fuck the stans who don’t like what I say about Pon De Forehead

I swear, you have a problem a serious one. How come you lways come here, hating on Rihanna, Ashanti or whatever woman (or hoe). I am not a fan of their music but how come, you even say something if you really cannot stand them lol.
Anyway, Rihanna is not at her best today but at least, she is not afraid to be natural, she is a young girl and i hopr she enjoys her youth too!!
Gaby is beautiful too, so is Garcelle.
Mel B looks like a tranny here, what is that a wig??!!

RIHANNA!! She’s wearing a trench (check the pic to the left) and shorts…hmmmm…seems like a failed attempt at the hipster thing.
Mel B’s shoes are all wrong for the dress but there’s no denying the dress looks great on her.
Denzel’s wife’s fur made me gag…literally…the nut meg in my coffee turned my stomach!

Oh and Rihanna SOOO wants to do one of those huge arm tats like Amy Winehouse and Amy what’s her name…the chick from Transformers. And, I think she should do it… does it match the intensity of her music (as another person asked of her dominatrix gear) NO but it would be gorgeous on her skin.

In California you can wear short all year round. Arizona and Florida too. I live in Arizona and I have a friend who wears shorts all year round. The weather is great all the time. We only have 3 weeks of winter weather. And now our temps average is 70 degress. So that’s why you see people wearing shorts.

I have always thought Gabby and Garcelle looked alike. They look like SISTERS standing next to one another. I used to think Gabrielle Union was Haitian because of her facial features and her surname. Anyway, both women are pretty as usual.
WHAT is going on with Mel B.’s hair? That is all the hate I have because she knows that dress is fitting her right.
Mariah Carey looks PAAAAALE. Get thee to a tropical island! And she and Da Brat have been close since she was married to Tommy Mottola 15 years ago, so the lesbian rumors can cease.

How did her fame “die” when just won a People’s Choice award last week?
#29
It’s not just you, everybody thinks it… On Dancing with the Stars they even thought it…they called her a trucker lol She’s not dainty or classy, really… and I think the English accent, in the absence of those things, is very low brow…like one of the kids on “To Sir, With Love” lol

LMAO I knew the Rihalien stans would get upset. LMAO A People’s Choice award? WOW that’s so amazing. Yeah right who cares it was voted by white people who are the only people who support Rihalien’s talentless ass just like they supported Britney and a bunch of other talentless ho’s. Holla when this no talent bitch wins several grammy’s like Alicia Keys, Beyonce, and Lauryn Hill people who can actually sing! LMAO So yeah Rihalien is still talentless and that’s a fact so ya’ll stans can fuck off!!!

Hell no so please her 15 mins are up and what’s she’s done looks like nothing compared to the Queen ladies of Rnb.
So yeah she died when Umbrella died. LMAO The only ones who care about her are her stans who didn’t even buy her c.d. which is why she flopped!! LMAO

why is it that when someone makes a repesentable and thoughtful opinion is called a stan? what if we’re just not as negative as others who seem to act as if they have brain herpes and causes them to go mad on
her album is 4 mil worlwide which matches with alicia keys right now and this was not a comparison test espcially if her competitors are around 10 years older than her
face it she’s on top of her game

gabrielle and garcelle have similar profiles. it’s ridiculous. and yea gabby does look haitian. she’s not but she may have some other caribbean heritage that we don’t know about b/c she look island like garcelle. they’re absolutely gorgeous
yea riri’s not looking great here. looks like her stylist is off-duty or something. the hat is a no-no. further proof that she became a fashion icon b/c of her stylist. on a good note, it seems like her legs have gotten better. they have a little more shape to them than b4. if she keeps working out, those tree-trunks will be beautiful shapely legs. i’m rooting for u girl!!

Rihanna ain’t on top of nothing that’s what ya’ll Rihanna stans want to believe. How can she be on top when her c.d flopped and she gets all bad reviews? GTFOH Rihanna will never be on top especially as long as Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Mariah, and Mary J Blige are around. They are the top sellers and on top of the game so what exactly is Rihanna on top of besides white dicks. SMH I don’t know who’s worse her or Cassie.
Mariah and Da Brat? Hmmm that’s all I can say
Love Denzel and Pauletta

LOL @rihanna’s fame has died. lol. THE HATERS REALLY COME OUT WHEN THERE IS A RIHANNA POST. MORE NEWS FUH DE HATERS.
Rihanna has become the muse of one of the hottest designers around, Marc Jacobs, who created the FABULOUS Rihanna Bag.
The Marc Jacobs Rihanna bag is designed with a spacious interior, a large easy-access twist-lock closure front flap pocket and features aged silver metal hardware, rolled leather half circle double handles, an extra 17” drop detachable thin chain link shoulder strap, the Marc Jacobs mini signature plaque on one side and a brown twill lining.
The Rihanna Bag come in two versions, one dressed in a crackled metallic silver leather that fades into sumptuous putty colored suede ($2,075) and the other is a mildly distressed metallic leather version with textural grain ($1,650). Both can be discovered at eluxury.com.
CONCRETELOOP TEAM, MARC JACOBS HAS MADE A RIHANNA HANDBAG. LOOK IT UP ON THE NET. U ANGELA OR BRIAN, NEED TO POST THIS INCREDIBLE NEWS. SHE INSPIRED A WELL KNOWN DESIGNER WHO HAS HONOURED RIHANNA WITH HIS DESIGNER BAGS.

I think Rihanna looks gorgeous on the pic of her on her cell. The other pic, I’m not understanding the hat…looks a fool. Mel B’s body is tyte but her legs are looking weird on that second pic…maybe it’s just the pic. That hair is horrid though..what’s up w/ that. Gabby is a doll and I love Garcelle’s facial structure. She looks amazing after having twins not to long ago.

RIHANNA WON PEOPLE CHOICE AWARD WHERE SHE BEAT BEYONCE AGAIN.
SHE IS UP FOR BRIT AWARDS, NRJ AWARDS, GRAMMY AWARDS, AND NAACP IMAGE AWARD FUH OUTSTANDIN SONG. SO THOSE ARE FOUR AWARD SHOWS SHE WILL BE ATTENDIN AND PERFORMING.
HER ALBUM SOLD 4 MILLION WORLDWIDE AND STILL COUNTIN, WAY MORE THAN CIARA, KEYSHIA, ETC. MARY J BLIGE’S ALBUM IS NOWHERE AS COMPETITIVE AS RIHANNA’S ON THE WORLD CHART. RIHRIH DEBUTED AT NUMBER ONE. AND SHE HAS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SELLIN SONG FUH 2007, AND HAS THE NINTH BIGGEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL FOR THE LAST DECADE AND ON DAT CHART NONE OF BEYONCE’S HIT SONGS APPEAR, AND SHE PUTS HER NAME IN THE HISTORY BOOKS OF THE UK.
WOW, ALL OF THAT AND SHE IS JUST 19. STILL BEING ENDORSED AND GETTIN THAT MONEY. AND THERE IS A MARC JACOBS BAG MADE IN HER HONOUR. WOW. HAD GIRLS ALL OVER THE WORLD WANTIN THE SAME HAIRSTYLE AS RIHANNA. AND SHE KEEPS BEATIN BEYONCE IN ALMOST EVERY AWARD SHOW. AND SHE IS UP FOR TWO BIG GRAMMY CATEGORIES:SONG OF THE YEAR AND RECORD OF THE YEAR.
COMPARIN BEY, MARIAH AND ALICIA TO RIHANNA IS DOTISH CAUSE WAT RIHANNA HAS ACCOMPLISHED IN THREE YEARS THE DIVAS DIDNT. IT TOOK TIME FUH PEOPLE TO RECOGNIZE BEYONCE WHEN SHE WAS IN DC3. THOSE DIVAS HAVE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY WAY LONGER THAN RIHANNA, BUT WITH LITTLE VOCAL ABILITY RIHANNA HAS PROVEN THAT SHE IS A FORCE TO BE RECKON WITH.
SO HATERS FALL BACK.

secondly riri only has 4 grammys nods cause two of em she ain’t eligible for and i can gurantee she’ll only walk away with one. her fame has died. no one gives a rats ass about her anymore. riri is doing so well, i guess that’s why her album ain’t hit 1mil yet in the states and it freaking came out in june. yup, winning a people’s choice award sure does make up for all the hype surrounding her this year.

Lol @ Rihanna on white dicks
Monday, January 14, 2008 /
But STILL she has no man. Imagine how awful ole gyal feels when they ask her about Josh (now banging a hot blonde) Hartnett. She doesn’t have a bf and has to DRAG around this ole friend of hers. White men use her like women use tampons. How come Garcelle Beauvais, Iman, Leona, Mariah, Heather Headley etc. can ALL land a white man with longevity but this island concubine?
Leona Lewis is replacing Rihanna on the UK scene and Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) is replacing her here in the US with the fickle white folk.
She needs to take that wig off. I died today reading the comments on TMZ white folks said about Rihanna and her tired “wanna be white” ass. http://www.tmz.com/page/2/
ALOT of white ppl STILL don’t know WHO Rihanna is….and some middle-age black folk don’t either.

Bajan sit yo crazy ass down somewhere. Why is it on every site I go to you are stanning for Rihanna? Are you a lesbian who masterbates to her pics. LMAO And you oughta be shot for comparing her to legends like Beyonce, Alicia, and Mary
Beyonce had sold wayyyy more records in her 3 years than Rihanna did. Alicia and Mary too so get your facts straight. Beyonce had the biggest song of 2007 and had 4 #1’s including the number 1 rnb/hip hop artist of the year where she beat Rihanna in all four. Who cares about a People’s Choice everybody knows only white people support Rihanna and Rihanna caters 2 white people wayyy more than Beyonce does. Hmmmm Beyonce’s TEN grammy’s and TWO Honors all before she’s 27 compared to 5 or 10 awards Rihanna won? Hmmmm 150 awards vs 5 0r 10? LMAO Bitch please Rihanna will NEVER catch up to her idol Queen Beyonce who is the most popular and successful black female artist. You are so retarted for comparing the few awards Rihanna’s won to the million that Beyonce has beat her in and already won. LMAO Let’s see
Alica= platinum in a week, was honored for her excellence in music by BET, has 9 grammy’s
Beyonce= lead singer of the best selling female group of all time, first female to win international artist of excellence, successful albums and tours, 50/11 endorsements, 10 grammy’s, first singer on the cover of SI, I mean I could go on all day about all the stuff Bey’s achieved but there ain’t enough time in the world.
Mary= the Queen of Hip Hop/Soul. Enough Said. She was happy to turn down a cheesy dumb song like Umbrella. Mary ain’t fake like Rihanna.
Rihanna= low album sales, album has never gone #1 in the U.S., T-pain sold more than her first week LOL, all bad reviews, can’t sell tickets had to add Ciara, got dissed by Russians, gets called a talentless wannabe all the time, etc.
And you have the nerve to compare this to the legends. You deserve the ho sit down award of the year for that shit! LMAO
66.

she DESPERATELY wants a man…..and a WHITE one at that…..oh white men PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE notice me and like me. Why is it that the average black girl can land a hot white bf and KEEP him and this ho has to be steadily throwing out white guys names in interviews in the hopes that her publicist hooks them up.
It does NOTHING for an A-lister like Paul Walker or Orlando Bloom to date her black island funny talkin behind.

Real talk I like Rihanna and all but NOBODY has made more history than Beyonce. I mean yeah Rihanna has come a long way but Beyonce is an international icon and has accomplished way more and is the biggest black female celebrity.
Bajan I agree with you to a certain extent but it’s true that Rihanna can’t be compared to the other female artists people mentioned. People will always remember Mary J Blige, Alicia, and Beyonce no matter what. Will people always remember Rihanna? I don’t think so you have to realize those other 3 female artists are super talented and have their voices to fall back on. What’s Rihanna gonna do when she’s Mary’s age? Is she gonna be able to be fully clothed and belt her heart out? I don’t know about that. But Rihanna is cool though.
Now moving on…
Not feeling Rihanna’s outfit. She’s allowed to have an off day.
Denzel and Pauletta make a beautiful couple.

why are people debating on Rihanna’s fame? Is it that serious please leave her alone this post was about her candid photos not on her fame. Why do people dislike her so much what has she has done to anyone? lol anyways from the looks of the pic she look she was trying to capture the hipster look. It’s all over the place but kinda cute. Paulette and Denzel love them letting everyone know that you can have a long lasting relationship in Hollywood. Love Gabrielle and Garcielle but when is Gabrielle going to get some “challenging roles”? I want to see home girl step outside the box she has the potential. Lol at Mariah and Da Brat those two have been hanging out alot lately what’s really good with that? Let me stop speculating before I start rumors lol

Why do people gotta always bring up Beyonce name everytime there is a Rihanna post? Sitting up her debating on “the hottest chick in the game” lol it’s laughable. Rihanna might not be the biggest or great entertainer but she has has some accomplishments for someone with minimal talent. She has style and quirky personality. If you don’t like her fine. But to put her down and call her names like a “whore” is fucking crazy because there isn’t any proof that she is. Y’all always talk about black folks are “crab and barrells” but want too hate on other celebs and praise and play favoritism other black celebs. To me that is catty and petty. I don’t care for Rihanna but I’m not going to sit here and put her down. She trying to do her thing like everyone else let the girl live her life. Shit she doing more with than I am and I would admit that lol

PPL are debating the lil black Bajan girl’s fame and her likability simply because never before has a black girl, from the CARIBBEAN no less, come on the scene and make such brazen attempts at claiming WHITENESS and wanting to DROWN herself in everything that is CAUCASIAN-AMERICAN. It’s QUITE disturbing that we have SPECTACULAR black female talent home-grown in the US and a black girl from the islands with questionable singing and dancing abilities gets the recognition of DESERVING artistes a la Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Mariah, Mary J.

Firstly, she is brown-skinned and secondly by her words and actions not her complexion, which is dubious at best.
Every interview I read from this girl….in Vibe Vixen…white men are killing it and she goes on to list every arguably hot white guy she can think of.
On to Allure where she proclaims she was teased for being “white” as a child…growing up in a country where so many people are children of white expatriates, resemble the caribbean singer Ruppe and Mariah Carey. And on to FHM Germany where she must somehow fit it in that she is getting paler and paler. She CONSTANTLY brings up white for some reason. West Indians and their colonial mindset. The whtie girl rocker attire, the affected voice to sound like a white-American, the forced demure act….it’s all SO fake.
I cannot for a minute believe that black americans are buying this girl and her crap! Yet they have a problem with Tiger Woods, or Taye Diggs, and the like. Call a spade a spade.

Well just because she might have a preference to white guys doesn’t mean she is a self-hater. I myself find some white guys to be attractive but however with me I really don’t have a set preference lol but I’m aware that she some folks do. You also gotta hint the fact that she is bi-racial so her finding a strong attraction to white guys might not be that surprising. However you are entitled to your opinion and you raised good points but I myself wouldn’t call her a self-hater though. She always bigs up being a bajan girl. Hell Bey was kissing some serious ass in that latina magazine talking about she wishes she was latina lol and she caught hell for that one and people were calling her a self-hater lol. Which again is subjective on how you view it

why do ppl feel that riri glorifies white ppl? i don’t think that’s the case. i may think the girl’s overrated but some of u ppl are going too far. she just made ONE dumb comment about white boys and ppl want to attack her. YET when polow da don is on concrete all i read is “ooh he’s so fine” “oh polow u need a black girl” blah blah blah. why is it that a black man can openly show his love for women of other races but ppl get down on a black girl for doing the same thing. if she thinks white boys are cute, good for her. there are cuties in every race. whites are no exceptions. i highly doubt she has a problem with black men. even if she said i still wouldn’t care; actually i would be happy b/c she’s making black men realize that black women don’t have to wait around for them, that black women aren’t dying for a black man’s attention. that doesn’t make her self-hating imo. and if she’s self-hating what difference does it make when most black ppl are subconsciously self-hating anyway. i mean when we go around talking about “oh she has good hair” just b/c some girl’s hair is curly, that is self-hating. when we see an interracial couple and assume the baby will be beautiful just b/c the baby will be biracial, we’re self-hating then too. so don’t get down on the girl for something that’s been going on in our community for hundreds of years or for something that black men frequently take part in

Rihanna is the one who caught hell because she did say that the people in Barbados( which is her home country by the way) are all haters and got blasted for it. So you are just another Rihanna stan trying to turn the heat on Beyonce just because people are dissing Rihanna. This is about Rihanna and her lack of talent which you fail to mention. SMDH

I am not a Rihanna fan, but I do enjoy her style most of the time. I also believe that she has more style than Beyonce (since everyone is acting like Beyonce doo doo nuh stink). I am a stylist and I think she looks very sexy, simple and laid back. Is she supposed to be rocking heals, and red lipstick right now ? Nah, she’s chillin. I also give her nuff respect for not wearing weave all of the time. Like tYRA , i believe that people can become addicted to weave and form a dependency on it. Rihanna clearly does not have that problem.

@Lol @ Rihanna on white dicks. r u kidding? west indians and their colonial mindset? like african american ppl are any different. more black girls in america have their hair permed/have weave than caribbean girls, it’s mostly african american celebs who have plastic surgery to appear “whiter” (tyra, halle, etc. then look at ppl like garcelle beauvais and even rihanna who have kept their ethnic features), list goes on. the pt. is that african americans have as much of the slave mentality as caribbean ppl do. there is no difference

What I was implying that people might viewed her as being a self-hater for her saying that “she wishes that she was latina”. That has zero to do with my thoughts on how I interpreted the quote SMH. Anyways I don’t think that the girl is a self-hater because of her preference on liking white guys and she never spoke badly about black guys anyways to uplift white men. Whooo some of y’all truly hate Rihanna to uplift other black women artist. That’s catty I think Rihanna, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Mary J.Blige and many more are doing their thing to work hard in this business because it’s hrd for Black entertainers to stay relevant

Nice try but you are obviously a Rihanna stan
And why is it that all Rihanna fans wanna talk about is her style. They NEVER wanna talk about her talent or lack thereof I find that to be hilarious. And FYI Beyonce has received way more style props and is considered a trendsetter so Rihanna doesn’t top her on that either. Ya’ll Rihanna stans are so pathetic for trying to flip this and turn it on Beyonce. Sorry but Beyonce is set for life and Rihanna on the other hand is still talentless and until she can sing w/o sounding like a goat and can dance which actually requires more than moving back and forth across the stage then MAYBE I’ll be impressed. Until then ya’ll have still proved that she’s talentless by only talking about her fashion and never talking about her so called talent. Who cares about fashion, she’s suppose to be a so called singer right? That’s exactly what I thought. SMDH

I SPEAK MY MIND
you can make your point about Rhianna but why are you comparing her to other successful black women? There is room for MANY successful female artists. Some are more successful of others but why not be happy for all their success? If you dont like her music dont listen to her, but dont let the media and blogs mislead you into thinking you really know her personal situations. She is a beautiful black woman with a successful singing career. Its great, many people would love to have that,so instead of trying to belittle her, why not just ignore the post if you “dislike her” because of some gossip you read about her.
Brittany is getting so much atention her custody hearings make CNN, yet the genocides in Kenya and Darfur hardly get light. Why not get hyped and enraged about REAL issues and not arguing over successful women who have no clue who you are!
I wish these blogs would sometimes post disclaimers that gossip is still gossip and not real news or that they even have validity ( not anything towards CL …just other blogs this uneducated poster may have visited)
I speak my mind you deserve the “Why not be passionate about something that really matters” Award….Write a paragraph about some REAL shit not why you despise an artist who you WISH you could be!

AKA New Yorker is obviously another Rihanna stan. Why do YOU lie so much. Rihanna has been on sever worst dressed list like that horrible outfit at the AMA’s for example dumb bitch. And isn’t Beyonce the Style Star of 2007 on this damn site? I rest my case. And Beyonce was #2 on People’s most stylish list and Jlo was number 1 and where was Rihanna on that list. Rihanna is not on any major name lists she’s only on the teen stuff and Beyonce is in the big leagues and everybody I know follows how Beyonce dresses so you’re just a dumb Rihanna stan.
Didn’t Angel say that everybody wanted to know what Bey was wearing especially her 2 outfits at the AMA’s which is why she earned the Style Star thing. And Beyonce won it on other websites too so do your research next time dumb ass and stop basing stuff off of your DUMB opinions b/c the majority rules, 183 mag covers and counting, so it looks like the MAJORITY likes Bey’s fashion over Rihanna’s.

Beyonce voice ain’t all that? GTFOH She got 10 grammy’s and milllions of fans and success that proves she can sing her ass off. She was the lead singer of that group who became the best selling female group of all time and it wasn’t b/c of the other girls it was b/c of Beyonce who’s voice was all over all their hit songs so get your facts straight.
Matter of fact Beyonce has had more success as a solo artist and even when she was 19 she had way more success than Rihanna so learn your facts b/c you sound like a dumb idiot.
Every black female artist gets compared to Beyonce b/c she’s on top and that’s how it is. Cry a river, build a bridge, and get the hell over it dumb stans. Rihanna is still a flop just like her album sales. LMFAO

Maybe I’m wrong, but I just get a lesbian vibe from Rihanna. I don’t think she’s into white men, I don’t think she’s into men at all: just women, MHO. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Mariah and DaBrat are creeping, everybody knows DeBrat is gay: she repeatedly hits on one of my ATL friends everytime she sees my friend in the club. Mariah hasn’t been right since Eminem (hope he has a speedy recovery from obesity, heart problems and pneumonia) and Derek Jeter both hit it and split it, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s seeking lesbian comfort from DaBrat.

Pleeeasssee stop going back and forth. It’s unnecessary.
Rihanna seems to have safely put herself in another category…I would think that you’d be happy and IGNORE her since you don’t have to see her unless you’re on mainstream blogs, really. By the way…to the person who said people at TMZ were dissing her…I can guarantee they’re either REAL ROCK FANS who loathe bubble gum music (meaning they’d last Avril Lavign and Ashlee Simpson the SAME way) OR they’re black Beyonce fans dissing her under different aliases. I post regulary on the most popular mainstream blog so trust me…BUT if you really think Rihanna is being dissed I can tell you that Beyonce gets more than her fair share of insults…so why not consider them even in that respect…the mainstream hates on them both…if that’s how you want to settle it.
This is the thing… it’s crazy …yall get so riled up when Beyonce is in another category…whatever it is…. and she and Rihanna NEVER have to be compared UNLES YOU WANT TO. If it’s no big deal, Rihanna’s winning these awards, why even mention it? Ignore her the way you did when Fergie beat Beyonce at the Billboard Awards. Why even mention Rihanna? Her music is closer to Fergie’s and Nelly Furtado’s sort than Beyonce’s anyway. Her style is completely different. Her demeanor, mannerisms, self-presentation…all of it is different. The only reason you’d compare the two is if you wanted to… Really you should let it die…it seems Beyonce fans initiate it and it’s not at all sending the message you think… The best way to ignore somebody who craves attention (as any so called “talentless whore” like Rihanna must…right?? righhht??) is not to insult her but to simply and utterly ignore her.

@Real Talk you obviously don’t read. i stated in my post that people magazine and concrete loop aren’t exactly style guides. people mag will put anyone on their dumb lists case in pt. their most beautiful people issue is a sham. bee doesn’t deserve to be #2 when it comes to style b/c so many ppl dress better than her. she wears gaudy, tacky clothing and overdoes everything. you named one worst dressed moment of riri and i admit she looked like sh** at that ceremony but for the most part, she dresses well thanks to her stylist. bee being concrete’s style star means nothing. no offense to whoever does the fashion bits for the site but anyone who takes fashion seriously would not take concrete loop as a guide. this is a gossip site, not a fashion site. and i’ve watched award commentaries and i go on fashion blogs daily and trust me, ppl who have any sense of style do not see bee as a fashion icon. she’s so predictable, never steps out of the box. if you want trend-setters, look at gwen stefani, jlo, kelis, sjp. those are just a few women who kill bee fashion-wise. and it’s interesting that you called me a riri stan when ppl on this site are always calling me a riri hater just b/c i don’t think riri is anywhere near being goregous. and you’re right she’s talentless. she can’t sing, can’t dance, can’t write etc. bee has more talent than riri could dream to have. i don’t have any fav between the two. i dislike them both but i do know how to tell the truth which is that bee is not stylish. however if you’re used to seeing ghetto chicks everyday, she will look stylish and classy to you. i’m from nyc. i’ve been exposed to ALL different types of ppl. i’m used to seeing louboutins, prada, marc jacobs therefore bee’s style does not impress me

You’re so right. People’s list is such transparent capitalistic tripe that they included, as proof of Beyonce’s versatility and stylishness, a picture of the woman in COSTUME leaving the set of a commercial. That’s how much they cared. That would have NEVER happened to any star who they’d considered sincerely… It’s a major faux pas.
But you forgot one: Mr Blackwell lol He put Beyonce on his best dressed list lol And, of course, on his worst dressed list he emptied OK magazine and US weekly, giving every vapid celebrity a whirl (and that’s what he’s paid for…no press is bad press…and nobody would believe he thought them stylish, so he’s paid even for ripping them apart…he gets paid for it but I’ll explain that later).
People have criticized his recent lists for being, frankly, boring. And, others have said his choices for worst dressed are like shooting fish in a barrel now. And, do you know why that is? because he’s been ushered into the uber capitalistic fold. It’s a capitalistic machine with the investors choosing stars that will turn the greatest profits and designers/design houses pretending they so admire these celebrities that they asked them to endorse products as opposed to admitting that it was a staunchly capitalistic move AND lastly with fashion editors being paid off in huge advertisement fees to validate the whole process, to pretend these celebrities stylish and these items of clothing worth buying. It’s sheer capitalism. You’d probably never come across a reputable best dressed list you’d actually like because it’s likely you’ll hardly recognize any of the honorees.

Rihanna is so striking. She really stands out in her photos, and her style is my favorite of all the female artists. It’s so distinct and sexy in every way. Too bad I can’t get into her music.
That Leona Lewis is a beautiful lady, She almost looks like a manequin.
Love the Spice Girls, but I’m hating Mel’s hair and dress. She’s too busty for it or something.
Garcelle and Gabrielle are stunners. Head to toe!

Why all of the Rihanna hate, btw? She is talented, beautiful and successful. She may not have a huge voice, but she can sing well. If we got rid of everybody that doesn’t have an arena-sized voice, we’d only be left with Mariah, Mary, Xtina, Fantasia, J.Hud and perhaps a few others. There are so many types of music/songs that don’t require alot of belting.
I like Beyonce alot, but what is it with some of her fans? You guys turn people against her more than you convince anyone of her greatness. If you have to list her accomplishments in order to prove her credibility, that just proves how insecure you are about her status and how threatened you are of other female artists.
It also annoys the hell out of me how her fans put down the vocals of almost every female attist. I don’t get that because she ain’t no Whitney her ownself. We are talkin about the chick whose biggest and best vocal number is “Listen,” right? Beyonce can definitely sing, but she’s not toppin no “Greatest of All Time” lists-unless the list is pretty long. lol. She’s not even the best singer of her generation because Jennifer H. and Christina A. will blow her lacefront clean off. Until Bey is the hands down best singer in the industry, please quit doggin every chick that is trying to make a name for herself.
And everyone please stop rattling off those industry awards because they do not certify substance. The best singers, writers and albums hardly receive the recognition they deserve. Mediocre projects, with good sales, attached to popular names are primarily what gets noted-and it’s not much to brag about. Albums that only received 3-3.5 stars have won “Album of the Year” at the Grammys while cds that got 5 stars didn’t even get nominated. Those shows rarely select the best music and musicians of the year, so don’t set too much store by those golden statuettes. Besides, they are voted on mostly by industry employees-not music experts.

Is there really a debate about rather people think Rihanna is talented or not…does it matter…some people will like her and some won’t…it’s that simple…there’s no need to write a report and compare her to other artists. There’s no need to diss her and call her names…she’s just not your cup of tea. The comparisons to Mary J., Alicia K, Mariah, or Beyonce are not needed.
However I do find it funny that someone made a comment that people that don’t like Rihanna are just Beyonce fans…are you serious…you really need to think about what you just said…I tell you some people get on this site and suddenly become the alpha and omega of everything and try to tell you what you think…

@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.

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

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!!
