Rihanna Taunts Teenage Fan For Wearing Similar Outfit to Her

Rihanna might be a (supposed) style icon, but she's far from the ideal role model if her latest stunt is anything to go on. The self-proclaimed bad girl joined a gang of cyber bullies as they proceeded to taunt 16 year-old Alexis Carter after she modelled a quirky outfit worn by the singer on the red carpet back in 2010. 



Being one of her biggest fans, Carter attempted to emulate the Alexandre Vauthier jumpsuit Rihanna donned for the Echo awards in Berlin, opting to wear a similar ensemble for her school prom. To her dismay, neither the internet or RiRi herself were impressed. 

Young people in the school began posting images of her on social media under the hashtag #PromBat, instead of Rihanna coming to the girl's defence, she decided to make fun of Carter on her own Twitter, retweeting the messages she found funniest. As well as this she created two images, one showing herself in the Vauthier outfit next to the 16 year-old in her outfit, and another with Carter next to the Wu-Tang iconic bat-esque logo. 

In a statement to Fox, Baltimore, Carter said:
"I was very offended. Why throw shade on it when you had on the exact same thing? The poses was different but the outfit wasn't. She don't love her fans like she says she does."

Proving her further maturity this week, the singer dyed her hair bright pink and proceeded to bombard Twitter with a number of selfies.. *yawn*

Shakira and Rihanna Wall Twerk in Disappointing Music Video Can't Remember to Forget You

It seems creative music videos are in short supply recently as Shakira's latest oxymoronic single Can't Remember to Forget You featured little more than wall twerking and girl on girl action with sultry singer Rihanna. 

Shakira gets wet and wild. How imaginative

Oh how I wish the days of dancing in lacy lingerie were over as Shakira flings herself from side to side on a bed awkwardly situated on a staircase. For the Columbian singer, her Whenever, Wherever days contained some seriously impressive dance moves with hip action us mere mortals could only dream of. Why has she subjected herself to jutting her derrière into a fancy wall? 

YAWN 

The song itself is strong, it combines heavy reggae influences with a pop rock chorus, but what it gains with the music it severely lacks in the music video. 

The only clever element to the video is it's use of cigars as phallic symbols. I despair. 

RiRi in her element

We welcome Rihanna... special skill: Wall twerking. Hump that wall Rihanna, don't worry about how silly you look, it's all in the name of pop.  

The lez-fest contines as RiRi and Shakira frolic on a stripy bed. I feel like we are intruding on an intimate moment here.. *rolls eyes*

Can Shakira even play guitar? She isn't doing a good job of convincing me here, perhaps she took tips from Niall Horan who loves to wander around stage jamming with a Fender that isn't plugged in. 

Fancy wasting three minutes of your life? Watch the video here. 

5 Reasons Rihanna's 'Pour It Up' Shouldn't Have Been Released

From cdn.rap-up.com

For a lot of artists recently, especially of the pop descent, it seems controversial is very much the way to go. From Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' to Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball', nakedness and crudity is extremely popular when it comes to music videos. With the hugely anticipated comebacks of Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, I expected Rihanna to at least attempt to compete with the competition. 

Pour it up, is in its entirety, a pointless and indeed ridiculous video, I think we've seen it all before! Here are five legitimate reasons I believe the video should never have been released. 


The Blatant Sexism

                         From cdn.urbanislandz.com

Although I was only half surprised by the scantly clad women in the video, I was pretty disgusted with the abundance of pole dancing and the site of bikini-clad women violently shaking their derrieres to an inappropriate level. The video is almost laughable and she sets a horrible example to young fans. The lyrics aren't much better as she sings: 

"Goin' dumb with all my friends"

"Strippers goin' up and down that pole, and I still got more money"

"Bands make your girl go down"


It's Consumerist

From cdn.idolator.com

This is extremely obvious, but the song is all about having more money than everyone else. She repeats the line 'I still got more money' fifteen times throughout the song, and boasts Chanel earrings and what resembles a gold Chasity belt in the video. To add an extra element of greed, the singer wedges paper bills down her belt as money floats nonchalantly past the backing dancers.

It's Boring 

From www.missinfo.tv

There is nothing worse than watching an unentertaining music video, and I'm pretty sure the original people at MTV imagined these three minute wonders to tell more of a story, or give more of an insight into the artist's song. This video, it seems, is as shallow and nauseous  as the song itself. 

It's not a patch on the Pop Queens 

From www.hollywoodreporter.com

For fans of pop, Lady Gaga delivered Applause with artistry and a slice of quirkiness. Katy Perry sprang into the charts with a fresh single 'Roar' and Britney Spears soothed our pop craving with club banger 'work b**ch'. Rihanna lacks pretty much everything these three ladies have, and in the end, she just looks a bit trashy. 

We're not interested in twerking

From hiphop-n-more.com

Miley Cyrus showed us twerking, and then some. I'm sure I'm not the only one to be sick of seeing people twerk. It seems Rihanna's attempts to be contraversial are very much futile, as she just proves that 'twerking' is very much an unflattering and ridiculous action. Roll on the parody videos, which will no doubt be a hundred times more entertaining than this. 

MTV VMAs 2013: The Best Bits

Last night played host to possibly the biggest anticipated night in music: The Video Music Awards which took place in Brooklyn, New York as massive stars from around the world turned out for the event. With Lady Gaga opening the show and performances from Robin Thicke, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and N'Sync made a comeback. For those of you who didn't watch the show, here are some of the best bits. 

Lady Gaga is well and truly back

I am a massive Gaga fan so I have been looking forward to this performance for a while, and it didn't disappoint! She began her performance showing off her stunning voice, and pulling some pretty powerful faces while manoeuvring what looked like a priest's cassock and a giant square on her head- classic Gaga.

With five costume changes in total and three different wigs, she isn't anything to sniff at as she belted her heart out while delivering some stellar choreography.

            From media4.onsugar.com

Definitely my favourite performance of the night. There is only a handful of people who can pull off covering their precious parts with shells.  

She also apparently took a shine to One Direction's Zayn Malik. I can't see the two hanging out in the future though, can you?

Miley Cyrus as laughable

In general, I don't think I have laughed as much during a VMA performance. Three words: Gyrating, thrusting and twerking.

              From www.washingtonpost.com

As the Cyrus entered the stage last night, all traces of Hannah Montana were vanquished as she attempted to sing We Can't Stop before stripping down into nude underwear and grinding on Robin Thicke during a duet to Blurred Lines. Take a look if you don't believe me...  Is it just me, or did Mr Thicke look like a pervy Beetlejuice?

Taylor Swift's bitchiness. 

I think the fascination with the relationship country-come-pop singer Taylor Swift had with One Direction member Harry Styles will always be a hot topic, but last night the young lady really voiced her opinion on what she thought of him and the 1D lads- yay! 

From blog.zap2it.com

She received the award for Best Female Video and when she collected her moonman, she said

"I also want to thank the person who inspired this song because he knows exactly who he is, because now I've got one of these" Back-handed compliment or what? meoww. 

She was also caught mouthing 'shut the f*** up' while the One Direction boys were up on stage, what a legend. It's kind of what we were all thinking.

Justin Timberlake, you thoroughly spoilt us last night. Beginning his performance with Sexy Back, then dipping into Like I Love You.

           From img2.timeinc.net

So much classic dancing before dipping into My Love. The fact that the whole audience were on their feet showed how amazing the performance was- I was blown away.

The Grillz were out in full force. 

Katy Perry and Rihanna donned their tooth bling last night and looked fabulously fierce. Both looked a thousand times better than Madonna who stepped out last week looking positively vile in her tooth jewellery.

Katy Perry= brace face. 

Audience cam was at it's best

I do love to watch celebrities in their natural habitat, and there is definitely nothing I enjoy more than seeing those famous faces interact with each other. Last night saw Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez dancing to Miley Cyrus, Ellie Goulding and Ed Sheeran cuddling up together and the Smith family's reaction to Cyrus' stripping, eeep! 

Hand on leg: Got something to tell us Ed?!

Harry Styles has a perve on his ex, Taylor Swift- cheeky. 

Katy Perry Roars onto the stage

LOVED her performance as a pretty dapper looking boxer. Still prefer Gaga though.
