Rihanna was scheduled to perform in Boston last night after cancelling the same concert back in March due to illness. However, I guess she was waiting three hours for her dealer to deliver because that’s how late she was to her own show. Fans were left waiting with not so much as an opening act to keep them entertained the entire time and booed when Rihanna took the state but failed to apologise. Seemingly missing all the curse words in her @ replies, Rihanna blithely responded, ‘#BOSTON I will never forget this night!!! I truly have deeper love for you now!!! Thank you for making it extra special!! #DWT.’
It’s about as fine with Rihanna that you don’t approve of her abusive relationship with Chris Brown as it is fine for her to enable Chris Brown’s escalating violent behaviour. It’s something to which she’s inured and, depending on whether you believe Freud, hardwired to accept as inevitable because of her volatile relationship with her abusive father. And so obviously ‘That b**ch deserved it,’ or whatever, when she was attacked AGAIN by another man’s logic this weekend. Apparently getting away unpunished, an unidentified man allegedly physically assaulted Rihanna at The Box nightclub in London this weekend. The man ‘screamed at her about Chris Brown’ and threw a drink bottle at her. She fell and bloodied her leg but was otherwise unhurt. MediaTakeOut.com claims the ‘injury was deemed serious enough for her to require immediate medical attention.’
Evidently suffering whatever it is that wiped the memory of the guy in Memento, Rihanna went full enabler in her baffling quest to actively encourage and reward the violent behaviour of the same boyfriend who beat the s**t out of her in 2009. Accompanying Chris Brown into court where she blew him kisses because head injuries are serious business, Rihanna was by her abuser’s side as he went to court to explain the alleged fraud he committed in getting out of community service.
2009′s Ike and Tina are probably still sleeping together after that one time he did this to her face. Clearly indignant that the threat of actual bodily harm should be prohibitive of getting some good d**k, Rihanna posted this photo of Chris Brown asleep in bed after (one could conjecture) they slept together in it. That’s him, sleeping on the hideous Bart Simpson jacket seen on his own Twitter.
I haven’t watched The Oprah Fangirl Hour this week. Although, obviously, one gleans it was all about Rihanna. About whom I’ve stopped caring, but I’m posting this because… I mean… wow. Early Thursday, there was a story about how Chris Brown ‘feels horrible’ about Rihanna’s interview since they’re currently ‘more cool than anyone will know.’ Dismissing his felony as a mistake, an idiot source who could be Brown himself tells HollywoodLife.com: ‘Chris saw the video clip. Of course he saw it, how do you think he feels? He feels horrible he did that. Watching [the interview] made him realize he made a big mistake and he’s been paying for it ever since. He’s working hard, in the studio, dancing, doing everything he can to rebuild his name and career and I think he been successful in doing all that. Y’all should be talking about his road to recovery and how he’s been a man and made s**t right. He and [Rihanna] are cool, more cool than anyone will know. She forgave [Chris] the minute that s**t went down, so what that say about their relationship?’ Except, not so sorry because he really wishes she would STFU about that time he beat her bloody then went on vacation. RadarOnline.com sources say it was, like, ages ago and he wishes she would let the assault go: ‘Chris is just confused about Rihanna’s decision to bring up the past again and again; this time in an interview with Oprah. Rihanna has previously given wide ranging interviews about the beating to Diane Sawyer and several print magazines. Chris just doesn’t think it’s productive or relevant to rehash the events since essentially nothing new is being revealed in the interview Rihanna has done with Oprah. Chris doesn’t begrudge Rihanna at all for talking about it but he thinks that in order for them to both move forward, and not be defined by that one night, it would be better to stop bringing it up.’
I caught some of, what I gather, were the pertinent parts of the Kardashians on Oprah’s Next Chapter since I knew I’d have to write about it and disliking someone is no excuse for taking them out of context. It was basically Oprah’s backslide into nobody news. Slow news days happen to Oprah too. Except this is a thing now, since Oprah just interviewed Rihanna and released this teaser (yes, I know Oprah interviewed the same celebrities on her old show, but that wasn’t an hour of her slumming for ratings on a failing network). Here’s a preview in which we see ‘really real’ drug user and strip club fan Rihanna talking to her own neighbours to Oprah’s amazement.
