@ #181- May I ask in what way is Rihanna ‘the hottest’? I don’t mean no disrespect, this is coming from someone who is generally interested. I hope you can provide me with an answer
pffffffffft
beyonce is still the hottest chick in the game
lets just remember that her last album out was in september 2006
thats 2 years ago
and yet shes still being spoke about everyday
her new album is dropping soon
so everybody STAAAAAAND BACK !!
beyonce trying hard to be a legend I guess. interesting outfits!
@ 55- IAMWHATIAM
If don’t have nothing nice to say………you know the rest.
DAMN.
okay okay okay, i have waaay too much to say…first beyonce looks pretty in the black dress but wtf did she have on on her performance? that gold xmas tree ornament bullshyt?….i was soooooo lookin to see if her and ashytti would have a pic together…i know there’s no beef with them but i never seen them together….ashanti normally looks nice but i’m not feelin her dress….ciara’s dress was garbage along with mariahs…as for the concoction that solange wore, wtf was that about? chris brown insist on dressing like a nerd….he looks a mess…..same with justin…..lil mama never disappoints, she is gonna make sure her ass stays on the worse dress list…..keyshia needs to slow it down cuz she’s starting to look too skinny…..she looks great tho (makeup, dress wise)…..brandy’s dress, altho she looks great, her dress looks like a metallic garbage bag…..and viveca fox, ugh, she looks like she’s sprouting horns in her hair…SMH….i am very disappointed at the items worn….usually some of these folks are always on point….wtf happened? y did that leona chick wear tights? y does tyra look sum1s moma…..like a teen’s mom…she looks old…..nicole looks like she has on a fancier arabian version of a toga…..i’m just too through @ these folks…
Rihanna is the hottest because everybody got her name in their mouth whether or not they think she can sing or not! She got all these bishes twisted and insecure, hating etc. They all are scared that Rih is taking over and pushing beyonce out of the spotlight. Everybody want to do a duet with her. TI and so many more she is taking that spot beyonce once held. Now all these men are all over Rihanna because she looks like a model and has the hottest style in the game. MTV is all over her, shit she just opened their show tonight. You have to be the hottest in the game to get that spot. Don’t lie Bey stans yall was all “Bey is the hottest” everytime she opened that show. Just wait, this year to come, Rihanna is taking over and beyonce dropping a cd will not stop it. She is just going to look like a washed up old bish trying to compete against a 20 year old.
@182 being the hottest has to do with the way people respond to you. Right now every blog, and every celeb site is all over Rihanna because her style is shitting on every other singer. She has songs that appeal to wider audience than the “freakum dress” croud. Rihanna has international appeal and MTV loves her, she is going places and doing things that beyonce will not accomplish. Beyonce was the “popstar” when crazy in love came out but these days its Rihanna’s turn. Just like Madonna was a pop star and a chameleon so is rihanna and she is going to prove she can cross over to many different types of entertainment. style has everything to do with entertainment these days so whether people like it or not, Rihanna is the hottest chick simply because she is in the most demand now..Beyonce once was, but not anymore and the bad part is SHE KNOWS IT!! And has admitted it even though her stans are in DENIAL lol
So sorry, but beyonce looks crazy in that wig. I think Rihanna and Mary J looks hot.
Bey looks like her head ain’t even in that performance. Thats what happens when you get married, she doesn’t really look that interesting anymore.
If Bee is done then why are u spending your time talking about how done she is?
Why are people wanting her to fail and even if she does she is set for life.
Freekum Dress and Upgrade You are always mentioned but Bee has other songs that are way better.
She can dance and sing and she is entertaining to watch on stage. International she is she traveled all around and has been successful for years.
Rihanna has a lot work to do. I know for a fact that she has a BAD attitude with her fans. I seen it SMH.
Someone asked why Rihanna is the hottest in the game and that person gave their opinion. Why are stans always trying to debate people. I do think that Beyonce said she doesn’t want to be the hot chick. so let it be. Let Rihanna have her time to shine. Its really the stans who can’t let go. Bey seems at peace with her status. Everything changes in life. It is so immature for you all to hate on Rihanna just because she is now the “It” girl.
Some of you all just wanted to be Beyonce fans because you thought she’d be the hot chick forever. sorry nothing last forever stans..Rihanna has years ahead of her to catch up to what beyonce has accomplished, its too bad you all don’t want to see her get ahead. SMDH
@190, you all get a lot of hate on Beyonce because yall constantly hating on Rihanna. Since that girl has come out the Beyonce stans has said some of the most crazy things about her just because she is another light skinned tall, model like chick and because she was threatening to you insecure girls. You all hate on her because you’re just jealous. It really is quite funny though because it is so obvious why you all hate her so much.
@187/188
Can you please shut up, because if you knew what u were talking about you would know Britney Spears opened the show…Also, if Rihanna was the hottest chick “in the game” why she aint win no categories she was nominated in(honestly I have yet to see her win any awards for any show she was nominated on)?? As of now BRITNEY SPEARS is still the hottest chick in the pop game, cause she didn’t even promote her last CD and won 3 MTV Awards…
Like all these groupies is tearing this blog apart with the ignorance…I hope you praise God(or whomever you worship) as much as you praise Rihanna…Prime example of why our country is ass backwards, we focus so much on minor things and put the major things on the backburner *SMDH*
Will you STFU ^^^ This is a gossip blog. If you were so into praising the Lord (which I have no proble with, by the way) Why aren’t you somwhere in church instead of hanging around CL >>>>>>
Some of yall are crazy as hell. No matter who opened the show, it is clear that Rihanna is hot right now. Beyonce has had her time, so please let it go, you sound as crazy as the person you are attacking..SMDH too
Winning categories on VMA’s is not what makes you hot..The girl had two hot performances and I cant hate on her for that. Rihanna is one bad bitch and she looked hot as hell next to my man TI on the VMA’s lol I was mad that she was next to that fine negro lol
Rihanna is gorgeous, she looks hotter than all of them
Get it Rih! People should be proud that another black female has broken through and has young white kids rockin’ to her music. How can you be happy for Obama’s progress and in the same breath hate Rihanna? I don’t get some of you knuckle heads.
WOW…well well well….I hate that ppl compare the two (Beyonce and Rihanna),. but if we are going to compare them…Im sorry yall…..BEYONCE wins that competition hands down. Rihanna is hot right now, no one is arguing that….but Beyonce last album was 2 years ago. Beyonce will out sell, out perform, out sing Rihanna any day. And Rihanna performances are always boring
Finally, Chris brown and LL Cool J dressed up for a change. And they look good too. lovoing Chris’ shows and pants, not sure about the vest. LL should have left the hat off, or worn a different style of hat.
Nicole, you could never go wrong with a sari. It suits her, she has Indian features in her.
Cira’s dress looks like something Tyra would wear. And Tyra’s like something Oprah would wear, minues the split in the middle.
WTH? @ Solange
LOL @ Justin’s jeans.
Vivica looks nice.
Beyonce fans love living in past and talking about what she did 2, 3, 4 years ago. Rihanna is hot right now, and has a long time to be hot just like Beyonce did …ironically, bey stans are sounding a lot like those Janet fans did a few years ago. hahaha. How the tables have turned LMAO Rihanna is just getting started at 20!
She will be hot for ahwile. Eat your hearts out Bey stans. no matter how boring you say she is, someone obviously likes her, she did her thing on MTV and looks like she’s hotter than ever!
I thought that was Beyonce’s mother at first.
Good to see Mariah dressing in a more dignified manner.
Beyonce is beyonce
Rihanna is rihanna
BUT Rihanna killed it on VMA’s with TI especially. I hope CL puts those pics up.Dammmmm that girl is FINE!! She seriously kills all the competition. Beyonce is still going to do her, but I gotta say that Rihanna has the top spot now based on her looks, she is stunning and her fashion is off the charts. Like it or not, this is how the game goes. Young and fresh always gets the most attention.
CL where my commet at? why are crapy advertisement comments about dating sites being posted and mine isnt??????????????
I love the funky fresh threads people are wearing. Hey it’s Fashion Rocks so don’t try this ish at regular red carpets!
Leona has on a bad ass outfit! My favorite!
Tyra looks like a was statue!
The costumes for the performances are cute. I ain’t even gonna comment on Bey’s solid gold outfit.
And if Mariah has on something that comes to her KNEES, I might die!
Beyonce actually looks better as Etta than she does as herself. That short blonde due is cute. I wish she would’ve sung “At Last”
Leona is cute.
Rihanna is gorgeous! That heffa was so fly on the VMA’s last night! DAYUM!
all i gotta say is rhi rhi turned it out last night… them white people love her and her style is diffrent than that booty shaking played out shit ….if you git my drift lolol GO RHI RHI … ti was proud to sing with her ….. dam he a sexy lil thang lolo…. who dick is britney sucking all of a sudden lolol
Out of all the amazing and great women in this post…It’s crazy how the same people seem to argue over the same two ladies over and over again. This is getting old and I’m really starting to think that the stans of both of these ladies are really adolescents. There’s room for both of them to succeed and I’m sure they don’t compete nearly as much as you guys make it seem. Get over it!
@165 Hell yeah I saw that fat ass 18 karat diamond on her finger that ring is beautifullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
btw…. “blondie” is the name of the group. That’s Debbie Harry
KSH

SHE MAYBE WAS FLY, BUT SHE SOUNDED LIKE $HIT! HER PERFORMANCE WAS NOT A SHOW OPENER!
Mary, Beyonce, Keyshia, Ashanti looks wonderful.
Lil Mama – Iam blocking out the jacket, hat and the tired look- you look nice !
I SEE SOME PEOPLE ONE HERE ARE CONFUSED. RIHANNA IS NOT A MODEL. SHE IS A SUPPOSED SINGER, BUT ALL EVERYONE CAN SPEAK ON IS HER LOOKS, HER STYLE. BEYONCE IS A SINGER/HELLUVA PERFORMER. I WATCHED THE VMA’S LAST NIGHT. RIHANNA PERFORMANCE SUCKED….BIG TIME. SHE CANNOT SING LIVE! THE VISUAL WAS THERE BUT SHE FELL THROUGH ON THE VOCALS. RIHANNA WILL NOT BE KNOWN FOR HER VOCAL ABILITY ONLY HER LOOKS, SHE MAY AS WELL HAVE SIGNED A MODELING CONTRACT.
IS IT ME OR DOES TYRA LOOK LIKE “WONDER WOMAN 08′ IN THIS PIC?”
MARY J’S DRESS IS FAB!
LIL MAMA & JUSTINE TIMBERFAKE NEEDS TO SIT THEY ASSES DOWN!
beyonce look so freaking good that black dress was hott,the jumpsuit was slamming,and i love the short wig boo boo. but beyonce you got it boo just keep it there
Someone tell Trya, less is best!!! Too much weave and makeup
Actually the one who has been getting rave reviews for her performance has been Rhianna. They said she was the one that tore down the house. Let’s face it people Rhianna is only getting better and she is the hottest chick in the game right now. Beyonce is going to have to come strong to take the attention away from her. There are alot of great cd’s by a lot of great female artisist that’s getting ready to come out and she can’t come out with the same old same old.
BEYONCE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MA I SEE WHY YA DA 5 MILL RING
RIHANNA YOU ARE A BAD GIRL TO YOU ARE FLAWLESS
LOVE THE WAY YOU DRESS MA I WOULD LOVE TO GET UP IN YOUR CLOSET
YALL GOT THE GAME ON LOCK
Beyonce should never get a haircut but i love her. And rihanna looked a fool
Beyonce looks so good!!!! I LOVE her in the Etta James wig. I hope she incorporates it into her look for her 3rd album because it’s so fly on her! She looks sooooooooo good in that sequins catsuit. She tore it down 3 times – can’t wait to see her!!! And Solange – I know they both killed their sets.
As usual, Beyonce haters are trying to turn it into Beyonce-Rihanna show down.
GET OVER IT!!!! THERE’S NO COMPARISON TALENT WISE WITH THOSE TWO. RIHANNA WILL NEVER BE CONSIDERED A GREAT!!! DIDN’T YOU GET THE MEMO? SHE DID.
Beyonce rocked this show 3 TIMES! They know where the real talent lies.
Solange looks great!!! The outfit is very avant-garde and interesting!! BTW the cd is amazing!!!! If u don’t have it, GET IT!!! I hate rihanna’s outfit…her vocals are horrible but she’s pretty. Beyonce is fab and never disappoints us. We ,love her.
Rihanna stage set is what’s winning her reviews – not her vocals. She was so bad at the VMA’s I know they wished they had more top females performing to cover for that.
Solanges performance dress was hott!!!!!
i dont know what to say,,,I’m speechless..85% of everyone looks horrible…
@ #228- Don’t be hating, Beyonce was one of the best dressed at the red carpet. 90% of the celebs outfits were disappointing.
Everyone looks amazing and I can’t wait to see this.
Say its her stage set, say she hasn’t been on 3 times like beyonce. WHATEVA bishes..she is still the hottest in the game right now. Get it Rih!! You a bad bitch and bey stans losing their damn minds coming up with reasons why you can’t be hot. Them bishes is straight shook lmaoooo
why is the same rihanna stan typing under different names saying the same bullshit over and over?
damn does beyonce have you that mad?
and since when is being an ‘it’ girl a good thing?
jlo was an ‘it’ girl
ashanti was an ‘it’ girl
rihanna is going to disappear like all the other no talent ‘it’ girls.
beyonce said she is beyond that ‘it’ girl crap and i’m glad she did because she is bigger than that.
rihanna stans can hate on beyonce all they want but they know damn well that rihanna will never reach beyonce level.
if rihanna is so hot then why didnt she perform 3 times? why did beyonce perform the most with no album out?
and britney opened the vma’s not rihanna. nobody even talked about rihanna’s performance and her performances always get bad reviews.
beyonce is the hottest chick in the game because she is the most popular and successful black female artist of this generation.
when rihanna sells 130 million records, wins 10 grammy’s, becomes lead singer of the best selling female group, wins 150 awards, is first singer on the cover of SI, is the first black woman to win ASCAP songwriter of the year, is the first female artist of international excellence, the list goes on.
when rihanna does even 1/2 of what beyonce has done then you can compare.
rihanna stans look stupid because there is nothing that rihanna has done, that bey aint already did years ago. beyonce is waaaay past rihanna status. wake up stans.
why is miley cirus up there with actual singers…she hasnt been in the game long enough to deserve to stand there..she needa hop of the stage and go lip sing something on the disney channel with the jonas brothers and the rest of the lip singing pop annoying ass kids
I stand by my statement meant for no talent, copycat phony so called artist
WOW RHI-ALIEN REALLY IS ONE LAME NO TALENT ASS BITCH, SHE IS SUCH A COPYCAT WHY CAN’T THIS PHONY BITCH PERFORM ONE SONG FROM HER OWN WACK-ASS MUSIC SHE HAS TO SING MADONNA’S VOGUE ??? WHY CAN’T SHE BE ORIGINAL WITH HER PERFORMANCE INSTEAD OF COPYING EVERYONE ELSE ….TRUTHFULLY RIHANNA SHOULDN’T EVEN BE THERE AMOUNG SUCH GREATER TALENT …SHE IS SO LAME UGLY -ASS FIVEHEAD
WHAT EXACTLY IS SHE GONNA DO ….JUST DRESS UP PRETTY AND HOPE THAT EVERYONE WILL FORGET ABOUT HER HORRIBLE VOICE …
I AM SO OVER THS UGLY BITCH… SHE IS SOO VERY UNTALENTED AND OVVERATED ….yeah i said it ….her stans can STFU

Even wack-ass BRITNEY SPEARS won awards over Rhi-Alien BECAUSE SHE SUCKS !!!! all she has is a cool style THAT”S IT Beyonce kills it every single ablum every song ….Rihanna sucks VOCALLY all the damn time ya’ll stans love this no talent ugly ass chick ..oh please
I see you MIMi, can’t wait to hear you sing tonite.
Why is everyone talking about Rihanna’s Forehead? So What!! You know it is always the source (the one talking the most ish) that has the biggest flaws and beauty issues. It is not usual for a beautiful person inside and out to hate on another beautiful person. Rihanna is gorgeous. She has beautiful skin complextion, beautiful eyes, face. Lets be frank here, not EVERYONE can rock short hair styles, long hair styles and still look good. That is beauty. Just because she has a big forehead dont mean a dang. Tyra has a massive forehead and she is beautiful. There should be a Forehead club for all the beautiful women out there with big Foreheads. Just because Rihanna does not have the vocals like beyonce she has more natural beauty. Ask her to take her make-up off (figuratively speaking) and she will still put you in awe. So instead of opening your mouth to something really negative and rude, Baby, look in the mirror, point your flaws out, sit and ponder deeply and ask yourself “Would I be on the cover of Cover Girl or a popular Magazine?” then that will keep you sitting in the chair of reality and you will be a lot more cognizant of what beauty is. Like your mother used to tell you, “If you dont have nothing nice to say, Dont say nothing at all”. Which not everyone grew up learning that concept. In closing, Rihanna and Tyra are beautiful with foreheads that will show your reflection and still have enough beauty to out weight your senseless comments.
This should’ve been called Beyonce Rocks because she tore it down as usual. She looked good, sounded great and has been a staple at Fashion Rocks since it’s creation. They need her.
Justin KILLED that Marvin Gaye *ish!!! He and Beyonce showed Chris and Riri what a real entertainer on their way to icon status looks and sounds like.
I was ROTFLMFAO at the audience’s reaction to Riri. They didn’t know what to do because they damn sure didn’t give her the standing O like of course Beyonce got, hell even Solange had them whooping and hollering (SHE KILLED!!!!! HER PERFORMANCE) – she even showed Riri what real talent looks and sounds like.
Thankfully Madonna doesn’t watch t.v. because I know she would’ve been on FIRE watching Riri sabatoge her classic – LMAO! Riri was SOOOOOOOOOO STIFF and not to mention the horrible singing. Even when Madonna did Vogue you could see how bad she wanted to burst into moves, but was still graceful and VOGUEING.
Honestly, the Madonna part didn’t even fit into the programming of the show, but they wanted to acknowledge her turning 50. It seemed like the show’s opener was the Etta James tribute which is why it came on first.
I also thought it HILARIOUS that Dennis Leary said AFTER Riri there would be REAL SINGING on the show. He also dissed the VMAs performances which was dissing Riri – LMAO.
I also thought it was classic that the camera showed the hate on her and Chris’ face at the end of Beyonce and Justin’s performance, which got a standing O.
The camera also was loving Beyonce on the Stand Up song. She looked SOOOOO good. She needs to keep rocking that Etta wig. Mariah looked lost, did Ciara even sing? and Mary J. was pulling a Patti. Babyface dissed Riri too! He made her Miley’s backup singer – lmao. She was oohing and doo-wopping to Miley and that was it! Who would’ve thought Riri would get outsung by a Disney kid – ROTFLMAO.
Chace Crawford even made comment of saying how he was flustered from seeing Beyonce backstage and kept brushing past her because she was flawless and beautiful. He didn’t even mention the OTHERS – lol.
Yeah, BEYONCE ROCKS!!!
ANYONE NOTICE MARIAH was kind of OFF! that night
@ 235 You are right I thought I was the only one who noticed the looks on RIH-Chris face after Bey and Justin performance …. Thay looked very envious…. cause we all know that has no talent other than to play dress all the time she needs to have her no talent ass in the studio…. At the VMS she couldn’t even perform Disturbia I can’t wait for her 15 minutes to be done !
