    Are you kidding me?? I hope it’s fake- damn!

  2. the original bellaluna says:

    She just needs to stop. She’s become a caricature of herself. (And she’s not alone…)

    • gg says:

      She needs to take that John Lennon t-shirt off this minute – she is tarnishing his image.

      I had no idea she was so trashy – so, thanks to her broadcasting her private life all over the internet and posing, now I know. DELETE.

  3. WillyNilly says:

    UGH. Enough with this tool. Seriously, she is such a f*cking joke.

  4. Kim says:

    Classy!

  5. Tweakspotter says:

    More like FUG LIFE

  6. Asli says:

    I feel like she’ll go Britney-crazy soon. Something in her eyes… She looks burnt out eventhough she just had a vacation. Somethings wrong. The whole deal with Britney lashing out was because people were trying to put her in that good girl box and telling her what to do 24/7. Rihanna has a racy image but people still decide everything for her, tell her what to do, where to go and basically controlling everything she does. She was even recording her next album while she was on tour! How crazy is that. And now this whole Chris-deal. It’s starting to go down hill for her. Either way, she needs to grow up and face her problems. Get rid of the people controlling her, even Jay if she has to (unlikely) and stop trying to act ”gangsta/hardcore”

    • ruokmiss? says:

      ^^^THIS!

    • Jezi says:

      YES!! I was about to make that statement. Something just isn’t right. I don’t know why she wants the world to believe she’s some tough girl. But she’s projecting a bit too much.

    • sassenach says:

      I agree. I feel bad for her. No guidance, surrounded by sycophants and paid employees. I think she will crash and burn soon.

    • Floridaseaturtle says:

      It ‘is’ who she is hanging around, working with/for…IMO. You got it right, look at her eyes. I have noticed a change, mostly this past month or so from pics. I thought it might be just me, but now I am convinced. Very sad.

    • Caz says:

      Yes. Couldn’t have said it better.

  7. Missfit says:

    She is so damn pathetic…she came out as a damn girlie girl bubble pop crap…she was no damn thug or hardcore. And she needs to take that John Lennon shirt off…she makes it look bad.

  8. Franny says:

    1. If thats a white tattoo, I’ve always wanted one. I have white skin though, so it looks more like a scar. I think they are cute in a way that only you know that it is there

    2. Is she drinking? That’s definitely not allowed (for normal people)

    • Ana says:

      I read that is actually better to get when you have white skin, my skin is “olive” and it’s not recommended, because sometimes it fades and you have to re-do it several times, so it ends up as real scars…

      That is exactly why I wanted one, so only I would know about it! 😉

  9. ladybert62 says:

    She just keeps on getting stranger and stranger.

  10. Sal says:

    Crystal only became plus size after dealing with her eating disorder. She’s getting thin/healthy by working out. She looks perfectly fine and not bony or anything

  11. RocketMerry says:

    For why, RiRi?
    Watch it, BeyBey will get one next.

  12. Tiffany27 says:

    Is that Danny Trejo?

  13. ruokmiss? says:

    Lord Jesus. In the header pic she looks like the black version of Stephen King’s IT clown. what a hot miggity mess!

  14. Lisa says:

    Damn, she looks way off.

  15. Mandy says:

    It’s kind of a relief to know that other people are tired of Rihanna, too. I was starting to feel like I was the only one who was bored with her. Seriously, she’s so incredibly generic, even for a pop star. Slightly off topic, but I’m going to go ahead and throw Nicki Minaj in that category as well.

  16. Bad Gal Addiction says:

    Looks a bit weird. Is it UV-ink? At least it’s not black and that visible but still….ugh. Not my body though – so whateva tickles ur fancy.

  17. Nev says:

    she can get it removed later and probably will…she is going a little overboard though.

    maybe she is overworked and needs to slow down.

    hopefully tim can trust again and enjoy love and intimacy.

    • Beatriz says:

      If it’s white ink, she can’t get it removed, it’s almost impossible. More often than not laser only makes it worse, applied on white ink it turns brown on some people.

  18. ethosdino says:

    Ugh, someone please fix her weave!

  19. NM6804 says:

    I hope it’s a real one so

    – she’s reminded of her dumbass foolery every day.
    – when she’ll (hopefully) eventually grow up and lets her demon’s go, she knows where she came from and will learn to never go back
    – when her popularity goes away, all she has left is the fakeness that brought her there in the first place

    EDIT: Love Tim Gunn, so open and honest about a sensitive topic.

  20. laylajanelovesgossip says:

    Maybe I’m wrong but how you gonna be wearing a John Lennon shirt and get a thug life tattoo???? This chick must’ve been drunk, tacky lush!!!

  21. Beatriz says:

    I didn’t think it was possible to dislike Rihanna even more, but she proved me wrong! Jesus, Tupac had a Thug Life tattoo, but it made sense given his lifestyle and how he was raised on the streets. Rihanna just makes herself look stupid.

  22. RobN says:

    She’d better not linger too long on a corner or somebody is going to offer her $20 for a BJ.

  23. Erandyn says:

    Is this the girl version of wearing your pants on the ground?

  24. Jaded says:

    OK, she’s really scraping bottom now…I didn’t think she could sink any lower on the vulgarity scale but she’s finally outdone herself.

  25. Azurea says:

    This is what happens when you live a life based on superficiality & image. The older you get, the more the inside of you wants to be seen & heard, but you struggle against it, out of fear, by focussing even more on the OUTSIDE. Hence, Rihanna (& others like her) needs to think up more & more distracting ways to “decorate” herself, mistaking her outward image for her real person.

  26. madpoe says:

    RiRi Yr 2060

    child: “Grandma – what does “thug life” mean?

    RiRi: “oh i was young, rich and stoopid to scar my body over some dead rapper”

    child: “well, at least the stupid part hasn’t faded”.

  27. LeeLoo says:

    Rihanna is not well. She has crazy eyes.

  28. I RUN NEW YORK says:

    Say a prayer for her.

  29. Rhiley says:

    BOOOOO for Betheny Frankel getting a talk show. And double boooo at Ellen for giving it to her.

    • Oi says:

      Yeah….I’m beginning to really question ellen’s talent scouting abilities.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Didn’t BF already have one show that never came to fruition, because she came off as entirely too irritating to test-audiences?

      Or did I “Dallas” that? 😉

  30. TheOriginalVictoria says:

    Sometimes I weep for my people.

    All the trials and tribulations our ancestors went through for hundreds of years in this country and surrounding islands to become respected and successful individuals, and this is the very best we can produce for our mainstream audience?

    Thank God there is still India, Lauryn (though I side eye her for the whole Marley thing), and a host of other talented artists and musicians.

    • Jaded says:

      Oh my gosh it started with Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, the list goes on and on…which is why when I see so-called musicians like Chris Brown and Rihanna and the other thuggy wannabes, I just cringe because they’re all about style over substance, image over reality.

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        I’d also like to include ScreamIn’ Jay Hawkins (since I’m a metal music fan and he trailblazed the path for people like Alice Cooper and other “shock rockers).

      • JD says:

        I agree!

  31. MrsPotato says:

    1. why does she think she’s so hardcore? You’re not a thug, honeybunch. And you wouldn’t last 10 minutes in a real ghetto.

    2. what reputable/responsibile tat place allows drinking while tattooing?

    and 3. Her weave. WTF!

  32. The Bechdel Test says:

    Academy Award-winning actor and producer Geoffrey Rush has been named the Australian of the Year for 2012 for his contribution to the arts.

    Thought I’d just throw that in seeing as though there’s no thread for it.

  33. gab says:

    Tired of her projecting the ugly. WTF With all the opportunities and doors open to her this is what she does? I am over her.

  34. HappyJoyJoy says:

    She’s officially down to #4 girl I’d get down with now. Where the knuckles really necessary?! :: rolls eyes :: WHERE YOU EVEN PAST 6 WHEN TU-PAC DIED?!

  35. dorothy says:

    What happened to this girl? She’s so talented, but seems have ended up at the bottom of the barrel lately. Looks like a thug, act’s like a hooker. Someone help this poor girl.

  36. Erica says:

    Crystal is thin again, damn! Then why was she saying when she was bigger: ‘this is my natural size, where my body wants to be at”????

  37. Sienna says:

    I used to like her – not anymore. She’s disgusting, pure trash.

  38. ella says:

    Another desperate attention seeker ugh get over yourself!

  39. Crystalline says:

    I loved that Maurice Sendak interview. Count me in on part two, he has such a hillarious attitude.

  40. Nance says:

    Try to hard.

  41. lucy2 says:

    She really is a mess.

  42. jc126 says:

    What on earth is Danny Trejo doing there? Lol.

    I hope it’s not permanent.

  43. Jin says:

    That is stupid. I also don’t see what’s great about her. She’s not the best singer. Her songs suck. It’s just the record companies decide who they want to make big and they play her songs constantly all day long until people are brainwashed into buying them. People will eat up any crap that’s fed to them constantly.

  44. Maya says:

    Beyond trash and stupid to boot. Legit tattooists don’t permit alcohol on the premises or customers under the influence, because it makes them bleed more.

  45. maemay says:

    Smoking cigarettes,getting tattoos and taking duck face pictures and posting them on Facebook does not make you a thug.

  46. moopsie says:

    Why would she want to be a thug?

  47. Mourning the Death of Music says:

    I seriously think Chris knocked a screw loose in her head.

  48. Kat says:

    Back with the a-hole who beat her, photos all over the place of her getting stoned and/or drunk off her ass and now this tasteless tattoo. Can anyone say “Britney 2007”?

    Keep it classy, R.

  49. GoodCapon says:

    CREEPY!!!

  50. normades says:

    Crack is wack riri.

  51. Agatha says:

    I have always considered her low-bred, inspite of her wealth. She certainly is not a classy woman.

  52. NeNe says:

    I used to be a fan on her when she first came on the scene. Now, not so much. I do not like how she changed her image, and her crazy antics are out of whack

  53. Pauline Bernoski says:

    She is so disgusting!!

  54. Leah says:

    God I thought I was the only one who couldn’t stand her til I read this thread. I can’t stand her music and turn it off the radio the second it comes on. She’s looking more and more trashy every time I read a story about her. 🙁

  55. Skinnybetch says:

    I’ve never seen anyone try SO HARD to seem tough when they aren’t . Her handlers should have encouraged her to seek therapy after the cb incident. She seems so sad and lost.

  56. Jhon says:

    I have to admit her tattoo are pretty cool. I found my next tattoo too. yay.
