Rihanna

^^ She has writing credits on more songs than people think.

The pic with the little girl is cute. I'm just gonna pretend like I didn't see/hear anything about her adding to that tattoo. SMH. I miss the days when she kept her tats small and dainty.

She's on her way to Brazil for a 3 day Vogue shoot. That should be interesting.

I think you can have writing credits without owning the rights to your songs. Rights to your music is a completely different thing from credits on your album; hence Prince changing his name to a symbol - the record company owned his name...they trademarked it and reaped the benefits. She has 7 albums...say 12 songs per album that's 84 songs...I doubt she has more than 25 credits on those albums as she's only had her name on songs for her last 2 or 3 albums. Also, depends on how many people are given writing credits on a song and what her share of the credits are for each song...but that still doesn't mean ownership of said song.

Yes, true. I had typed out a small paragraph stating that simply writing a song doesn't always give you rights but deleted because I figured it would veer too far off topic. Song ownership/copyright gets complicated because it depends on label/publishing deal terms, how many writers are on the song, etc.

I watched one episode. Watching the main character prance around nude for no reason at all was enough for me.

You don't think it's great how a twenty-something girl with a body that's not at all what media etc demand from a woman to be considered hot (zero boobs, big thighs etc) is showing all these girls you don't have to be perfect to be sexy?

I applaud Lena for doing what she's doing, because she has great intentions in mind. It's a pity so many people can't appreciate these sorta things.

I also believe the dialogues and storylines are alot more realistic than the ones on Revenge or Scandal or -you name it-.

Nope.

Just hours after she unveiled the latest tattoo to grace her body art collection, Rihanna was spotted at JFK Airport as the songstress was hopping a jet to Brazil.

On Saturday, 25-year-old singer gave off an aura of gothic chic as she made her way through the international terminal in a floor-length vintage inspired coat featuring a rose pattern of red and green.

The dramatic coat was adorned with a fur collar and sleeve detail and lined with a black silk.

I believe the dialogue and storylines are realistic for someone who lives in Podunk not Greenpoint.

Back to Rihanna...her arm tattoos are just bad. I have tattoos and want a full sleeve (if I can figure out how to make it business friendly) so in no way am I against them but her's just look...not good. lol

 

[terebina786]

Did she mean for the tattoo to look like bridal henna art?

I'm convinced the show Girls appeals to everyone who has never been to Brooklyn and/or NYC. The characters and settings are completely unrealistic. Brian Williams daughter is so awful on that show.

I agree with everyone that I doubt Rihanna owns the rights to that song or any of her songs actually.

This! From the 3 episodes I watched, none of them could afford to live in the areas in Brooklyn on the jobs (non jobs) they had.

She's gained a little weight... she looks good!

I heard the new song with Shakira a few hours ago and I legitimately cant recall it already, it's poof.. gone, one of those rock/pop ditties that feel like candyfloss. Which means it's going to be huge on radio. On the plus side, they both sound far less goaty than I imagined they would.
