MAG COVERS: RIHANNA FOR ELLE MAGAZINE
Tuesday, May 6, 2008

Rihanna shows off a smirk on the June cover issue for Elle magazine. Wearing a red sleeveless cupro dress from Donna Karan, the singer posed for her featured cover story and photo spread with photographer Gilles Bensimon. Check out a few excepts from her interview after the cut or read the full article at Elle.com…
On Chris Brown:
“We’ve always been friends, but we’re very close now.”
On the rumor about a relationship with Jay-Z (once again):
“Well, it’s crazy that you ask me that. People know that it’s not true,” she says, straightening up. “I think it’s kinda a cliché question, and people know it’s not true, so I don’t even know why it’s still addressed to this day. I get asked about it all the time and I’m like, You’re asking, but you know the answer. I don’t even like to address it anymore.”

Well thats the thing, we DONT know the answer Rihanna, thats why they asking bout you and Jay derrrr. And why she acting pissed bout the question? Its just a question lolz. Its either true or false and she chose to dodge the question, I dunno if this rumor is true or not cos Ive missed whether she has actually mentioned it was false, Ive always thought RIhanna kept dodging the question….

Punked show celebrities true colors. You can tell who is really messed up by their reactions. I’m banning that show. Why is it, everytime they are punking a black person the police have to be involved?? It’s a terrible pattern. I’ve been saying this for years. When they punk white people, the police “should” be called. Because, 9 out of 10 they are drunk and driving…But nothing is said. But punk a black person and the cops are there asap.

I don’t think that I’ll ever buy a cd that Rihanna sings on but I have to give credit where it is do. I just love this girl style. Whoever her stylist is they are on the damn job! That red dress on the cover of the magazine is really nice and stylish, the short grey dress with the red belt is very nice also. Her clothes flatter her body and her hair cut. She’s not a musical genius but she damn sure knows how to dress. Momma Knowels needs to take note.

I think fashion magazines are the devil. Don’t buy them, they will make you hate you body, skin, and hair and want to waste your money on things created by designers who don’t employ Black models. That aside, Rihanna looks pretty good. I like this cut better than the last one, but I still think she looked best when she first started making music.

I like Rhi, she is a refreshing look to the usual lost in weave artists that we have, she wasn’t afraid to take out the weave and cut her hair into a style that was copied across the word and then change it again. Yes, she may not be the best singer (a Mariah, Whitney, Celine or Christina) but she does her thang, she created a pop style album that many artists are copying now. If it all ended for her tomorrow she would have made her mark in popular culture.

Do it Rihanna!!!! She looks terrific.
Yes, she had a stylist for the magazine shoot. Stylists are a requirement for any magazine shoot to capture the the editors vision and because the clothes for the shoot are loaned TO THE MAGAZINE for the shoot so someone has to put a look together. Whoever put that outfit together may have been hired by Elle Magazine.
To those saying she can’t sing must not have heard Take a Bow, the song with Maroon 5, and heard her on the Glow in the Dark tour. Baby girl’s vocals have come a long way. Since she has been on Glow in the Dark she has surprised a lot of people with her singing ability. She needs to work on energizing her performances but she is a good singer.

I never hear anyone say kudos to so and so so’s stylist. I have heard one RnB Queen say I never leave the house without checking with her stylist first. So why ya’ll tripping like this entertainers know how to put themselves together all the time. They are a product (themselves) they are selling an image. I think Rhianna looks great and I love her style.

She looks great as usual. She’s just a boring performer in my opinion. Isn’t her photographer that famous photographer off of America’s Next Top Model?

Think about it. Ever since they covered up her forehead, she’s had nothing but mad success and exposure. I wish her the best and this is just my observation.

104 that is right, but without a doubt she is beautiful,but some people in the industry are addicted to perfection and just have to hide the flaw.
I also think men are more attracted to her now,that she has this sexy back look lol. i.e chris (they have alway been friends,but now they are close, i remember reading in 2006 they went on a date,but nothing much happened.) and she was in ASK top ten desirable women poll. i think she beat some famous names. she was at number 6 or 7.

yeah, she climbed up in that poll as well as the beach bodies poll and every other hottest outfit/body/style/look/hair poll but about the ask men poll…it’s the strangest thing but every single year AFTER they release the results, the men who frequent the site always complain, as if they never voted for the women in the first place. It puzzles me…
