Cherry "Zoolander face"
Hahahaha!...
Rihanna is beautiful, edgy, daring, and all around a good person. Great scans BLACK!!!!
Sidebar: Some people in the media have her pegged all wrong. People are forgetting she is a victim of domestic abuse.
Rihanna belongs on top because she is a QUEEN. I’m not the biggest fan of her new single, but I will support this girl forever because she is the total package.
Yeah Rihanna’s nice and all but what I to know is what really happened between her and Chris. People say she is a victim but I think they were BOTH victims. People want to paint Chris Brown as the bad guy and we know that all this was sparked by a text message in his phone. But did she really react the way she said she did in that interview? I’m not taking sides, I’m simply saying that women have ways of frustrating a man to the point where he feels like he will tear his hair out. Hell I’ve been in situations where I felt like smackin a bitch and I literally wouldn’t hurt a fly…LITERALLY. How do we know that she didn’t hit him or spit on him first? I’m not implying that that excuses his actions of course, but I’m just sayin…women can take advantage of that fact that physical violence from men is looked down upon whether the man is at fault or not. If She was beaten just as bad by her lesbian lover it wouldn’t have been any where near as controversial.
Once again…I’m just sayin…
No, I hear what you are saying and I’ve been there but I am proud say that when I was pushed over the edge I was still able to direct my anger against a door, a wall, etc. It’s easier to patch a hole in a wall or a door.
I think domestic violence is more often than not a two way street with both parties feeding off the cycle in a bad way. But that doesn’t excuse the man. Even though I don’t see any innocents I still give no inch to a man that hits a women.
Hell, I don’t think any of us really know what happened there but at least she did the only right thing, she got out. I will still continue to respect her if she stays away. It’s when a women goes back that you know both parties are equally at fault.
It’s reminds me of my mother after my parents divorced, when she was dating this guy for over year. She knew he had a rocky past and she was severally abused as a child. Everything was cool until after they had been living together for several months and they got into an argument and he lost his cool and punched her a few times.
She picked up a chair hit him in the head and told him to get the fuck out. The next day at work (they worked together) he tried to be all ’sorry baby’ and shit. She wouldn’t have anything do with him which shocked him because he was used to the cycle he seen as a child and as he had done to his countless girlfriends and wives. But she did what any good woman should do the very first time a man hits her, end the relationship and get as far away from him as possible.
I’ld like to think that is what Rhianna is doing.
At the end of the day picture Rihanna as your girlfriend, daughter, mother, sister, aunt etc.. would you question what they did to the man after seeing pics of their face bloodied and beaten? Most wouldn’t even want to hear his side because they would be too angered by what that man did to a woman. Regardless if Rihanna hit him, Chris had options and he chose to take matters in his own hands and basically torture this beautiful womans face. So now he must be held accountable for his actions. Those pics of Rihanna’s face were more then enough for me. Without putting too much of my biz out, I know Rihanna she can get a lil hot tempered at times, BUT no man has a right to put their hands on any woman. WALK AWAY and distance yourself from the situation!
+1
Yes I agree that at the end of the day it is always the man who has to control his temper and be held accountable. I’ve punched a couple holes through a door myself and after seeing those pictures it makes me want to ring his neck. I just dislike the idea of Chris taking ALL the blame when no one knows the details of the relationship. I’ve witnessed women saying stuff like “I’m gonna beat that niggas ass!” so it makes me wonder if a women can be held accountable to some degree as well.
In my opinion Rihanna is overrated and not that cute!
1. Chris Brown was wrong and he knows it and he’s paying for it right now. Hopefully he can pick up the pieces, continue his career and become a better man.
2. Abuse can often be a two-way street but just as the scales are tipped in men’s favor in terms of being physically stronger, the laws are tipped in women’s favor. I’ll keep that in mind before I ever get too angry at a wife/girlfriend. If we are truly interested in raising intelligent, well adjusted men then we must teach the law of self-preservation. Simply put, he should’ve thought about how much he had to lose, gotten the hell away from her and vented his anger some other way.
3. Rihanna is gorgeous but she’s merely a third tier vocalist (watch her shrink if she, or other ’singers’ like her, are ever joined on stage with top tier vocalists like Mariah Carey, Yolanda Adams, Patti Labelle or even Mary J. Blige or Beyonce) and would not be the star she is today if she wasn’t a light-skinned thin lady. I can’t think of a darker skinned young singer today who has her music in the mainstream. Maybe Jazmine Sullivan but she’s nowhere near the level of star Rihanna is. Our people have to be careful that we don’t allow music industry shot callers to shape our standards of beauty and talent. I’m sure Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Rihanna are all lovely women but so are Chrisette Michelle, Sy Smith and YahZarah amongst others. We’re being ‘lightwashed’.
Enjoy your weekend
Love Rihanna, and this photoshoot is gorgeous, plus it’s got that cute 80’s vibe to it.
As for the domestic violence stuff: There are signs ahead of time that as a smart woman you look for, but I think almost everyone has had one of those really intense relationships (especially when you’re young) when it’s almost obsessive. The way she talks about their relationship it totally sounds like that’s what was going on.
I mean, people throw the words around, but it’s true: there’s a fine line between love and hate. I totally admit to behaving badly with a boyfriend (throwing a wine glass at his head, pushing him a few times) and that shit was wrong and totally out of line. But at the same time, I don’t think that gives permission for a guy to beat my face in. I’ve also had a guy that punched doors/walls and I can tell you that’s just as scary. If it comes to stuff like that BOTH people should just walk away or try to get help, but once certain dynamics are put in place within a relationship, they are hard to change.
From what I’ve heard it sounds like things totally got out of hand that night and they both couldn’t see straight and obviously weren’t thinking right. I don’t think she’s playing victim though. She totally admitted to escalating things.
Cherry I respect you for admitting that you have behaved in ways that might cause a “weak minded man” to loose his temper. That is all I was looking for because women these days are too quick to blame men for ALL their problems. I’ll give you a good example. A female friend of mine has been involved in all sorts of bad relationships with men. But instead of her taking a serious introspection of herself and analyzing all of her thoughts and actions in order to discover why she attracts these types of relationships, what does she do? She turns into a freakin lesbian!! COMPLETELY disregarding her responsibility of what happens in her life. People like that just don’t deserve ANY respect. Anyone with enough common sense can tell that what happened that night was the result of an escalating argument that got physical and ended up with the weaker individual battered and bruised. Women are not stupid. They mature faster than men and in most cases understand the psyche of their man even more than their man does. How does a woman not see such a dramatic event like that coming?
And that last pic of her is adorable don’t you think?
YES, the last one is so cute.. that one and the two-pager are my faves; she is always gorgeous though:)
Domestic violence is both people’s faults, and honestly the only person you can change is you. Before I blame, I always look at what I’m doing to contaminate the situation. I mean, time gives you the benefit of knowing someone and knowing that person means you KNOW their buttons. A disagreement should always be about reaching a compromise and not about winning, but when you’re that age it’s difficult to reason that out sometimes.
As for the lesbian thing.. I’m thinking that girl had inclinations before, and that her bad experiences with men maybe helped push her along to the other side of the fence. I mean, I’ve had some pretty crazy relationships, but there’s no way I’d ever go that way with another girl. Admiring beauty is one thing, but taking it all the way is another.
Yeah maybe but from an unfamiliar 3rd person perspective it would appear as if she literally
transformed over night. She hates men but is still attracted, must be tough.
not all that! ok in my opinion
ty black
aww mane wat did u guys do to the color of her skin. needed a better retouch tool for this one Blackjack
Cute shoot. She’s a very pretty girl. Although to me she hasn’t looked anywhere near her potential since 2008.
In terms of the abuse, I had two main issues with the whole affair. Firstly the massive, and even diturbing influence ‘celebrity’ status has on people. Obviously if chris was a regular guy he’d be in prison and no one but his mother would be sticking up for him.
And secondly, the focus placed on the details of the event and rihannas part in it. The details were irrelevant to me. Unless a girls attacking your child or your mother I don’t think there’s any justification for a man to hit her. And chris didn’t just hit her. He battered her.

.. I totally agree with you on that one. The media REALLY made a circus out of it.
Maravillosa, una voz de
ensueño
Blah, Blah, Blah … Don’t this TRICK get enough exposure from other spots!!! This is a T&A as in Big-Time AZZ spot… Amber Rose should be getting Her Shine on up in This MFer instead of this Moronic, No Self-Control, No Real Singing POP-Tart (Boo to You…)
I CALL this:
“The Out-of-Control TRICK who cried Wolf”
Stunning!as always
Rihanna is overrated and made up. Her edgy, dark, fashionista appeal was given to her by her stylist. It wasnt something she came up with on her own. Meh … She bores me.
And for the record … I still feel like she’s not telling the whole truth and Chris Brown isn’t saying anything. Meh … I don’t care. NEXT.
