I’ve added more outtakes from Q Magazine’s “Artists of The Century” Photoshoot. If you bought the magazine and could send us pictures/scans from it please email!
im in love with the song russian roulette..it is my fav of the albumm… i do feel that firebomb photographs and rockstar is a close second 4 me, than hard and rudeboy and wait ur turn…but the whole album is so good!!!!!
The charts are up! Rihanna came in at number #4 on the Hot 200, #1 on the rnb charts, and "hard" is sitting pretty at #19 without a music video and without it officially being released on iTunes go RiRi. Congratulations RiRi. BTW, just out curiousity… has anyone heard how good CBs cd is doing because I read on another blog that he's sold over 170,000 units just off of presales alone…. I know it doesn't matter but honestly it would still upset me because it shows how retarded how society is.
Okay Chick I am going to keep it 100 as you say. I like the first picture but the second picture does not look like Rihanna.

Why did they body search her at LAX last night? Just send her through the metal detector like everyone else and let her be on her way! No need for a body search! Ugh, airport security are annoying sometimes.
@motherlizard don't waste ur time on chick. She thrives on negativity. I noticed that when I read her talking about how she wants the rated r era to be over and that def jam messed this album up, get back in the studio. One time I read her saying the album sucks, then saying she likes it. 2faced stans need 2 leave
Comment by cold case love — December 2, 2009 @ 11:23 pm
OMG I bet that is the look she had for the video. Her makeup looks cute!!! She is so busy though :-( So much in such a short time-frame. She must have been on her way to NY.
Um that 2nd pic looks like Cassie not Rihanna. It does not look like her. Her eyes are not black. Now all the blogs are going to say she is using hazel contacts not even thinking about pics when she was younger and they were hazel. RD does more harm than good. Somethings they need not to post.
Comment by Love Riri — December 2, 2009 @ 11:34 pm
LMAO I really don't think people are going to care about that pic. That picture is obviously photoshopped…her eyes are black! No one has eyes that dark. Rihanna's eyes are obviously light. You can tell when someone has contacts in. Cassie wears contacts and it is obvious.
@Davis Thats excellent news to hear!!! Now lets get a great performance at
Hammerstein. That will make my day.

Does ne1 know how much Rated R sold worldwide?
Comment by Love Riri — December 3, 2009 @ 12:23 am
The second pic is her. Its the same lips and pronounced brows plus same tattoo. What throws it off is the shape of her face and eyes. I am not worried about the eye color because lighting can change someone's eye color. I have seen pictures of Paris Hilton and her eye color has been black. She has blue eyes. Rihanna's eye color has to do with lighting more than anything else.
Comment by Motherlizard — December 3, 2009 @ 12:59 am
russian roulette is wat rihanna wanted to be the first single and let i thinks its th best song of the album!!! its bold its powerful and its a statement!!!! the reason rated r didnt sell as much as u all wanted its becase people labeled it a dark album!!! and its not…. i really feel thAT RUSSIAN ROULETTE SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE AND IT WILL BE BACK IN THE TOP TEN…MRE PREFORMANCES WILL EQUAL BETTER SALES …ITS ALREADY CLIMBING UP THE CHARTS….DNT STRIKE RUSSIAN ROUETTE OFF AND REQUEST AND BUY IT
I GUESS EVI1 IS DIFFERENT…I LOVE HE PICTURES….DEY ARE AMAZING.. YES THE SECOND PIC DOESNT LUK MUCH LIKE RIHANNA ITS BECAUSE IT IS PHOTOSHOPED TO GIVE HER A SOFT LOOK…. AND THE REF BLOCKED OUT…ITS JUS HER FACE…THATS Y IT LOOKS DIFFERENT
Rihanna has insisted on having a party at M2 tonight to celebrate the release of her new album, "Rated R," with her fans who were locked out of her official industry party that attracted the likes of Jay-Z and Tyson Beckford last week. The pop star has flown in her favorite deejay, Khaled, from Miami, to spin at the West 28th Street hotspot. The diva will take to the stage to greet fans, and M2 mixologist Jim Sanders has created three fierce drinks named after her chart-busting singles, "Hard" and "Fire Bomb."

*good news guys* (well for those who dont like chris)
yall know how been dissin rih rih lately??
his single "crawl" is not in the top 100 on iTunes. neither is his album (preorder). rihanna sold 50k in preorder and she peaked at #5 on iTunes. so this album will definitely flop. KARMA IS A B…….
Comment by COLD CASE LOVE — December 3, 2009 @ 4:10 am
rated r is currently #8 on iTunes. so hopefully this performance+saturday night live will boost 2nd week sales.
"Hard" is still top 25 along with "russian roulette", all we need is a video for hard, since its already top 10 in US airplay,
Comment by COLD CASE LOVE — December 3, 2009 @ 4:12 am
lol , hope I don't miss it, hope sge does rockstar 10 and fire bomb
my bad yall i mispoke, "Hard" went from #37 to #31 on the top 40 airplay chart, it debuted at #12 on digital songs and rose from #17 to #16 on the R&B/hip hop chart.
she HAS to perform this on SNL and todays concert and with a video within a week to two weeks it will be number one just in time before the end of this month.

Comment by COLD CASE LOVE — December 3, 2009 @ 4:27 am
@cold case love chris will not flop he is playing the victim role now. smdh. the public is eating it up too. the world has turned on rih now and i don't know why either. maybe they wanted her to play the victim and she obviously does not want to so the media is mad at her. just look how the media has treated her ever since she went back to him in the earlier months. every day it's something bad about her. i mean yes she was talked about before feb.8 but now it's like 1000x worse. she has so many haters now it is unbelievable. we still love her but for some reason she needs to gain back the people that once loved her just as much as we do. we can not fight this battle alone. but i have been noticing people are starting to really like her album. the album has to grow on ppl.
