Dutch fashion magazine, “Jackie,” thought it was giving its readers a tongue-in-cheek guide on how to dress like Rihanna. Apparently though, the magazine’s editors must not know any black people, have any on the staff (including in the mail room) and don’t have access to these here innawebs to Google before they publish (or perhaps they couldn’t care less to poll any black people… I’m going with the latter). In it’s attempt to be “funny,” the magazine called Rihanna… wait for it… Taste The Brew for more

The excessive Jamaican-style yodeling in Rihanna’s new “Man Down” video isn’t the only thing rubbing people the wrong way (I kid, I kid?). The Parents Television Council is pissed about what they call the “cold, calculated execution of murder” in the video. Taste The Brew for more
I’ve been off my Twitter game lately. Real life was calling and I answered. Anywho… in my attempt to catch up, I noticed some Twitter activity the other day between Rihanna and her “Navy” of fans. It seems she’s following Chris Brown’s tweets (he’s following hers too) and the Rihanna stans think that’s a blasphemous travesty against nature, a sign of the Apocalypse or something.
@iStan4Rihanna_ tweeted: @rihanna I never thought you would go back to him! You better not, its your life but you do have ppl that look up to you. e.g young girls
Here’s Rih’s response to the girl getting up in her feelings about it.
@iStan4Rihanna_ its fuckin twitter, not the alter! calm down
If you don’t follow Rihanna’s tweets, you should. She really doesn’t give a #$%@, says what’s on her mind and doesn’t seem to be the type to delete a tweet in a panic, like some other bow tie wearing people.
So, what’s your call? Is it a big deal to follow an ex (ok, the Ex From Hell) on Twitter or are people overreacting?
If you’ve been under a rock, then you missed the news that Chris Brown will soon need to put on his apology bow tie and say he’s sorry for breaking a window in his Good Morning America dressing room this morning. Brownie went apesh*t after GMA host Robin Roberts asked him a couple of questions about the Rihanna “mishap.” (Click here to watch) Robin says Brown’s camp actually pre-approved a few Rihanna questions, but someone must not have sent the Blonde Bombshell that memo because he got steamed during the interview as he tried to deflect focus back to his new album, “F.A.M.E.”
Anywho… in a similar turn of events, Rihanna also doesn’t want to talk about Blondie either. In a recent interview with the UK’s Fabulous magazine, a reporter tried to take her down memory lane and she put the kibosh on that in a snap.
Today, she’s not quite as forthcoming when the subject of Brown is broached. The mere mention of his name prompts a change in atmosphere and a sharp: “Excuse me?”
When asked again she snaps: “Next. You obviously want to talk about Chris Brown, I don’t.”
Point taken.
We get it. Neither of these two want to be asked the same questions every time. They want to move the story along. What’s funny is these two really think they’re on that legend level of say, a Diana Ross, where they can shut down interviews before they even begin and have their “people” demand what line of questioning they’ll get. That’s not how the media works. You have to do a dance with the media. You’re using them. They’re using you. If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t do the show. And, don’t have a meltdown when a “hard” question comes your way. I’ve been in Breezy’s comeback corner for awhile, but c’mon son… if you wanted an interview where the host will kiss your hindparts, stick to black radio and BET.
Damn! I wake up on this sleepy Saturday and before I can sip my green tea Brewshyt consumes me. So, Ciara got a gig, now that’s news, but that’s not what this post is about. CiCi appeared on Joan River’s “Fashion Police” and took the opportunity to throw Rihanna under the bus by calling her “not so nice”. Well, word got back to Rihanna and well you know what happens when these youngins get mad nowadays, they turn to the Devil’s playland that is Twitter.
Here’s the first shot:
Then Rihanna went in:
Ciara baby, I love u girl! U hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I’m heartbroken! That’s y I retaliated this way! So sorry! #letsmakeup
Now, I’m taking this little beef with a grain of salt. Maybe it’s stage to drum up some publicity. Dunno, don’t care, my job is done. Back to my green tea.
British TV show The X Factor reportedly received more than a thousand complains about performances by Christina Aguilera and Rihanna during the show’s season finale. The complainers said their sans-pants bumping and grinding was too hot for TV.
Ronnie McDonald Rihanna was the musical guest on last night’s SNL and she reprised the “Shy Ronnie” Digital Short with Andy Samberg. This time, the two try to rob a bank as “Ronnie and Clyde.” I wish someone would tell her that hair makes her look like a different “Ronnie” but, if she likes it, I love it. Catch the “Shy Ronnie” clip and Rihanna’s performances after the jump.

It seems Rihanna should have consulted one of her Frenchy friends (assuming she has one…doesn’t everybody?) before she got her latest tattoo. We showed you her new ink over on the fan page yesterday. It’s a neck tatt that reads “rebelle fleur.” Well, all the swift-thinking folks with Google translator punched up her tattoo and scratched their heads. If she wants to be a “rebel flower” then she really should have gone to the Googoo before getting inked because in French, adjectives usually follow the nouns they modify. So, her tatt should really read “fleur rebelle.”

Eminem and Rihanna are tackling domestic violence in their new video, “Love The Way You Lie.” Grant it, I’m still piecing together what that statement is… but you take a look and decide.
The video stars actors Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan as a beat you, but I love you, then we have wild open-mouth tongued-down-kissing sex, but I beat you again couple. Fox reportedly donated her salary from the video to a shelter for abused women. I reckon this video hits close to home for both Em and Rihanna who have gone through their share of abuse and violence (Em with his ex-wife Kim and Rihanna with…well, you know who).
Peep it…

Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in Matt Kemp, Rihanna | Posted on 01-07-2010
Why is it always the woman’s fault when newly “in love” men suck at work? Should we be blamed because you dudes can’t multitask as easily as we can?
Apparently, Rihanna’s boo Matt Kemp is having some trouble in his day job. Sources say the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder has been performing terribly on the field since he began dating Rihanna.
“The star outfielder is in a serious slump, hitting only .196 in the month of June with just one home run in the last 22 games. He’s been screwing up while running the bases and stumbling defensively.”
Now, people are branding Rihanna “the new Jessica Simpson” for “cursing” Kemp’s game, much like people accused Jessica for screwing up then boyfriend Tony Romo’s game.
Suuuuure. Always blame the chick.

Paging Rihanna’s body… alert, looking for Rihanna’s body…
The folks over at Elle decided to strip Rihanna of her waist and hip-curves for the July cover. She looks good (per usual) but in desperate need of a sammich. Elle, where’s the rest of her body?
