As posted by MediaTakeOut.com, following the release of last week’s Rihanna assault photos from 2009. I did not, nor will I, post the three photos of Rihanna’s injuries. I have no qualms about posting this. It shows a scratch on Chris Brown’s lip; his injury following the fight with Rihanna where her face ended up like this.
For those who spent the last week saying ‘Rihanna deserved it,’ and ‘her injuries weren’t even that bad’ (real quotes), I present to you Brown’s bulls**t non-injury.
I wasn’t going to address this, as I don’t really care about either of the people concerned, anymore. I don’t like to endorse people with such exceptionally crappy behaviours as woman-beating and I’m over Rihanna. However, there was one part of this I wanted to highlight for those who would have otherwise missed it. So, I’m going to gloss over this, as matter-of-factly as I can stomach, without posting the abuse photos, and we can all move on with our lives. Earlier today, a second and third photo were leaked which showed the extent of Rihanna’s injuries after being assaulted by Chris Brown. I’m NOT posting those; not least because the site that posted them seemed to think lips had bones in them. They’re here, for those who insist on looking. The two images, from 2009, were released by MediaFakeOut.com and re-posted to a bunch of places including TMZ.com. Rihanna looks to be sitting in a hospital room with her face smashed in one photo. The second shows a close-up of the damage done to her mouth. Only days ago was the restraining order against Brown, after his slap on the wrist ‘punishment’, lifted. Rihanna seemed more than fine with this after moving on and encouraging fans to do the same. There’s no reaction from Rihanna’s team yet. However, Chris Brown has reacted. On Twitter. And then deleted his tweets because nobody on the Internet has MS Paint or knows how to save a screen cap. In at least two messages, which he later deleted, not that I’m going to check, Brown made the leaking of these photos about him. Call a WAAAAAmbulance! ‘The Devil is always busy. But when u have a destiny, nothing or no one can stop what god has planned,’ wrote Brown, who is evidently still lacking any insight. Adding, ‘It’s ironic how ‘somebody’ put this out right around my album time. Wow. I guess that’s supposed to be a strategic chess move. Unbelievable.’ Unbelievable, Brown? Really? I was just thinking the same about your bellyaching.
I’m always amused by the lies that surface around the middle of the week. They’re always so much more imaginative that the lies that come before and after. It’s as if every tabloid office has some kind of pool going to see who can top last week’s humpday lies. And this week, Us Weekly has outdone itself. I read this story earlier and only now have come off the ledge long enough to write about it. It was headache-inducing. And so, in the spirit of giving that means I’m now out of crack altogether, I’m sharing this nonsense. Us Weekly is reporting that Rihanna, 23, and Ryan Phillippe, 36, who just broke up with Amanda Seyfried, are hooking up. It’s their comeback from last week’s mess of an article; a piece Seyfried was quick to dismiss when asked about rumours of Phillippe and Rihanna flirting. They’re hammering this story to death, by claiming, with nothing but the say of a nonsense source that, ‘Clearly they’re keeping it on the downlow.’ Which explains why no one else is running with this. Got it? And, adds another source, who reads like they’re about 14, ‘She thinks he’s hot.’ Adding, ‘They totally had sex. And it wasn’t even the first time.’
Rihanna is being sued by photographer David LaChapelle. Anyone who’s seen the S&M music video and is somewhat familiar with the work of LaChapelle will have seen this coming. Anyone who saw LaChapelle angrily tweet Rihanna about being derivative of his style would have seen this coming too. And from what I’m reading today, pretty much everyone posting about it is taking his side. Starting at the beginning, Rihanna released her S&M video and that I know of no attribution was made, nor was compensation given to LaChapelle. Which would suggest the people behind the video either thought the concepts were original or were just intending not to compensate/ give credit. That didn’t stop the man himself writing a message on Twitter that ‘@PerezHilton @rihanna The next time you make a David LaChapelle music video you should probably hire David LaChapelle.’ She didn’t direct her own video. And I’m not sure why LaChapelle’s tweeting an extra from the video. It was directed by Melina Matsoukas; who, if you’ll recall, last year, was accused of ripping-off M.I.A. for the Rude Boy video.
Nicki Minaj has denied that she and Rihanna have been living together as a couple. Because apparently, that needs denying. Whatever. Apparently, not that I was following the story, there were rumours on Media Fakeout declaring the musicians a couple; further adding that they were shacked up together. In response to this report, Rihanna and the rapper went on Twitter to share the picture above. It wasn’t very funny, but was supposed to be a joke about their pairing. Okay, sure. Rihanna tweeted a picture of her and Minaj, saying, ‘Me and Nikki in our new crib, lol.’ To which Minaj responded, ‘If we’re gonna [live together] and hook up [you] gotta learn how [to] spell my name.’ Owned. It would have been easier to deny idiotic rumours altogether, rather than fanning the flames. People used the picture as ‘proof’ of an affair. Minaj, sick of the rumour-mongering, went on Ryan Seacrest’s show and said, ‘I don’t know where people got this really insane, hilarious, random rumor that she and I were living together… It was like, ‘What?’ It’s like, you can’t even be sarcastic anymore.’
Rihanna and Katy Perry really do share everything; even quotes. Perry has already stated that she won’t be posing nude for Playboy any time soon. Now, her friend Rihanna is helping the environment by recycling her quote. When asked about the possibility of stripping bare for Playboy magazine, during an interview on her promotional tour, Rihanna shared that she had already been offered money to pose naked for the magazine’s cover. ‘I got a few offers to do Playboy actually. They want to pay you to be naked on the cover,’ she said. She elaborates, basically saying that getting out her tittays for Playboy would be too down-market and that she finds it insulting to be offered money to take her clothes off. As I pointed out with Perry… meh. Both have already posed at least semi-nude, it’s nothing we haven’t seen before; Perry in Rolling Stone and Esquire; Rihanna for the Loud album art, shown below. Moreover, we’ve really already seen at all, after those leaked naked pictures (very NSFW links: 1, 2, 3, 4) showing EVERYTHING; pictures she later admitted were real and taken for Chris Brown. ‘If I’m gonna take my clothes off, it has to be in a classy way and my will, not a check. I wouldn’t take any money to do that.’ She then shared that she does enjoy walking around nude when she’s in the privacy of her home; but we knew that, as last year she gave quotes about her pool boy always seeing her laying around naked. Another image from Rihanna’s Loud album, semi-NSFW is below.
