Are You Feelin’ Her Swag????

Posted by Bossip Staff

Rihanna was spotted yesterday in NYC sportin’ her new dog which is her latest fashion accessory. Ever since Rihanna dumped the Beyonce clone weave and steez, we have been feelin’ her look. She may not deserve any props for those cheesy songs, but you have to co-sign her swag.

  29. not rihanna the tranny

    who cares about how she looks, her singing is horrible and her dance moves are laughable. what happened to having real talent. I swear it seems like music is garbage now. she should take her on advice and Shut up and sit the hell down. wack ***** forget paying a stylist, take some singing lessons. Bossip you want her to be something so bad she’s a banger and she’s the anti-Beyonce. Boo did you see her when she first came out? Garbage the only difference now is that Jay molded her into a beyonce with SOS and then they switched her style up to a white girl. she is no trendsetter

  30. nono

    damn, she’s almost white now. what she doing to make her look so light skinned?

  31. BLKLOVE

    but sweetie rhianna is not the first “bad singer” to become a star in the business the list of bad singers who have become famous can go on and on…jeez look@ madonna she cant sing and she’s an icon…im not trying to compare madonna to rhianna im just making the point that its not always about your “vocals” some people just have an “it factor” that is unexplainable…..call it what u want clever marketing or whatever but its obvious its working in rhianna’s favor and people like it!!!!! why hate on her??? if she is not your cup of tea the music is big enough to pour a diffrent kind of tea in your cup@NOT RHIANNA THE TRANNY in all honesty if u can create a screen name callin rhianna a tranny it seems your nuthin but a good old HATER!!! im not saying you have to like or love rhianna but some stuff is uncalled for….if u dont like her just find somethin u do like!!!!! BASICALLY GROW UP! and leave the name callin for the kids….

  32. Sam I AM

    when was she on Prince street..i was there and didn’t see her…BOOOO

    i did however see her driving around last night…

    I think her look is refreshing for her..she doesn’t seem weighed down…but i do have to say sometimes it looks forced

  33. Monk

    DAYUM, YA’LL POINTED OUT THE IMPERFECTIONS IN HER LEGS THAT THREW ME OFF -BUT I’D STILL DRANK HER BATH WATER THOUGH…LOL

  34. BETTA THAN YOURS

    I’LL BE BACK THOUGH

  44. beverly

    @ not rhianna the tranny

    its like style without substance &

    her image is a major part of what

    keeps her bouyant. its a kinda

    certainty that you don’t really need

    talent smh!!! check out this

    video of her and see what you think

  45. BLKLOVE

    @usher exactly..but like i said too…its not all about “vocals” tho some people just have that “it factor” because you can have someone with great vocals and they have no personality or anything so havin a great voice is not just gona cut it…but i feel as tho these days talent is not the main focus anymore..it seems to be looks first/marketablity/then talent last…but like u say we have ourselves to blame if we buy it they will continue to make it…..if we want to see “real talent” on the charts we have to start supporting it and that means spending money and not DOWNLOADING IT FOR FREE!


  46. I feel her swag! JEEZE – she is lookin’ good!

  47. Mahogany

    She looks cute.

    I think she’s been using bronzers like Beyonce does and when they don’t wear it, U see just how light they really are.

    Everyone wants to be darker!!!

    Nothing new.

  48. SavvySammi

    I think she looks hot-people on here are some of the biggest haters! Her legs are nice and thick-and she is beautiful-her swag is def on point!

  49. FOXYCLEOPATRA

    I DON’T KNOW IF RIHANNA IS A TREND SETTER BUT PPLE ARE DEFINITELY COPYING HER STYLE. WOMEN/GIRLS ALL OVER THE PLACE ARE HAVING THEIR HAIR /WEAVES DONE LIKE RIHANNA’S. THIS COULD ALSO BE DUE TO THE FACT THAT POSH SPICE DID SOMETHING SIMILAR BUT I THINK IT IS RIHANNA THEY R ALL COPYING.

  50. M-DADDY

    She is a very attractive woman. Very nice legs

  51. caboverdechic

    I think she looks very cute! u dont have to wear sweats to walk ur damn dog. And what the hell is up with people on this post hatin on celebrities with small dogs???? common sense would tell u its a bit easier than travelin wit a rottweiler or pit! lol!

  52. My Business

    Just gotta to find a way to be in the lite just roll over and go away!

  53. VTORIRI

    Theres a list on here with bad singers and someone put B and Brian McKnight on it……..please…….both of these artist can sing and sing live very very well.

    Have you noticed that riri always has to be half naked now when you see her.. I checked out the new video and what does lying in a bed half naked got to do with the song? nothing, but as usual she is selling her self short and now she is using a dog to get more publicity. Her teams calls the photogs when she goes places so she can get more coverage besides bad reviews.

  54. TexasDude

    Rihanna just seems to try too hard to look cool or sophisticated or whatever.

  55. VTORIRI

    PS forgot – Rihanna a trend setter – yeah for a lot of one hit wonders coming in now everyone thinks they can sing, she’s the reason why we got all of these show showing people with no talent in them and making money off of it. TREND SETTER…….PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. ~

    Gimmick!!!

  57. Secret

    She has some big ***** hands and legs yuck they look deformed. Her hair, dress and dog are all cute

  58. Shawn

    I agree with Usherwifey to a certain extent. Rihanna, is more of a fashion icon (now)because of her Fashion Stylist – and that is the extent of her deserved fame. However, she is not a talented singer. Where I disagree is with some of the names she put on the list as having no talent. First off, you can not put Beyonce in the list. She is the only female that is out right now that can dance extremely hard and hit her notes without running out of breath. I would say Beyonce had a talent that was able to be developed. I would also put Keisha Coles in that group. She had a talent that was able to be developed, and Mary J. Blige belong to the group as well. Now, you do have singers that bring a look and/or dance that allows them to flourish in the music business such as Ashanti, J. Lo, Janet Jackson, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Ciara, etc.

    Here is a list of talent that people don’t check for (WHY????):

    1) Toni Braxton

    2) Faith Evans

    3) Tamia

    4) Kelly Price

    and the list goes on!!! We need to make changes on how we view talent.


  59. Uh, don’t they have “people” to walk their dogs for them? Hmmmmmmmm. Attentionw*****.

  60. me

    I like the dress and I even think the dog is adorable; but dresses that require double-stick tape and teacup dogs are not two things us women rock when going on shopping excursions…Can we say paparazzi op?!

  61. HI-SIDE

    SEXY…..

  62. HI-SIDE

    SHES HOT….

  63. lala

    Get em Rhi!!!… This chick is hot!!… Even YT is feeling her. People are tired of that other chick it’s time for something refreshing even if she can’t sing who cares. The only thing that matters these days is showing tons of skin anyway. There are many of great singers who get no love so I guess it just doesn’t count for nothing these days.

  64. I'ma*****!

    Love the dress, hate the hair and nail polish. I swear thsi girl just walks the streets to be photogrsphed, so she csn stay relevsnt. See, she should have been a model cause she seems to enjoy those street walking photoshoots and does better at them than singing.

  65. AND...

    all i know is if some people are so tired of various artists stop looking and listening to them. that usually helps. As for Rihanna I like her. Swagger jacking or not. That’s all fashion is. Someone says hey this is hot for the season and everybody goes out and buys it. Duh, people. It’s called MARKETING.

  66. Insatiable_qt

    HOOOT!! Finally I will admit it…

  67. dani

    @ Shawn

    The reason why Toni doesn’t check because she ruined her image by over exposing sex than she did before and she became a person that people didn’t take serious anymore

    Faith Evans is my girl but she doesn’t have the image factor

    Kelly Price hate to say it but some women can make it with them being plus suze but miss Kelly didn’t have the attitude and right “it” factor to pull it off

    Tamia is that girl too..lol..however her style of music is contemporary R&B it doesn’t pertain to the general audience and she has it all it’s just her style of music..Tamia is older and more mature

    Beyonce most def is talented but she is too contrived and robotic for my taste to name her singer or an artist for that..her and Rihanna are marketing machines that are based solely on image..I know people say well beyonce don’t have to do all that she can hold on her own..well the question is people always base how beautiful she is (which is her image) and always refer her to “bootylicious beyonce” so how can she ease away from those references?…Beyonce is solely on image and she talks about her image and how she is conscious about it than she is with her talent..I think Beyonce needs to find an equal balance because her vocals to me are not like how they were before she is trying way tooo hard now..nonetheless it’great to see a girl do her thing but she as an artist I would like for her to not be afraid of what people think and start trying to take risk in her style, music, and as person to show people she is versatile..because she has potential that goes for Rihanna too give her credit for switching it up

  68. anonymous

    she definately looks hot, her swag game is on unlike the ‘weaved one’.

    .

  69. AND...

    @ Shawn

    I co-sign with you. Beyonce is in a cl***** of her own right now. There are not as many ‘true performers’ out there anymore. The singers you named are very good singers but unfortunately the don’t have the complete package. Whether the people want to accept it or not it is a business. You have to market yourself and beyonce knows how to do that. If you take all the makeup, gold, and glitter away she still has what got her the record deal to begin with TALENT. She can sing, period, everything else is just extra.

  70. AND...

    AND… another thing, this is called the music industry for a reason. People can question her looks, swagger, hair, and dance moves but you can’t question her vocals. Named three people in the game right now who can outsing Beyonce? The only person in my opinion that can give her a run for her money is Jennifer Hudson but the verdict is still out on her career. Like I said you have to have the ‘total package.’

  71. DDub

    Bah. Celebrity is all about image. Image and talent go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other. Rhi isn’t very talented but as long as she can hold a note and record catchy tunes she has talent. I liken pop tart singers to pop-artists Like Warhol, Duchamp, Jeff Koons et al who’s image/celebrity sells their work more than their actual talent.

    Those who excel understand this. Style should never be discounted as being of little importance because without it you most likely wouldn’t have taken note.

    Same could be applied to real world situations. In each business there is both a dress code and corresponding conduct policy. These lie outside the realm of job duties but they are just as important. Why do you think the intangibles such as networking is so important. A great resume is one thing but knowing someone can be even more valuable. To have both means being a very dynamic person.

  72. La. Finest

    I love her dog. She look cute too.

  73. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    Bajan beauty doing her thang…as usual!! :-)

  74. Rihanna is Fugly

    This ***** looks like an ugly ***** version of Beyonce. Please this ***** will never get to Bey’s status. Beyonce has Beauty and Talent which is why she’s the Queen and why ppl are calling Rihanna a WANNABE BEYONCE. Ho sit down!

  75. VTORIRI

    If I was riri I would want more for my self than to be known as a JOKE in this business, she has no talent and again I say she and her camp knows this but to what extent are they willing to keep sacraficing her/yourself to maintain this nothing IMAGE.

    Rianna honey, I know you come on these websites and check out what people are saying – so read this – LEARN SELF RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  76. fo sho

    Ain’t her 15 mins of fame up already? I thought all those bad reviews she been getting would of told her that we know she has no talent. It’s over for Rihanna.

  77. Shawn

    I agree some what, but I like to hear singing, and to see performing as well. I don’t need to see an extremely beautiful woman to get the point of the song. I would like there to be more performance and singing talent rather than what you look like, and holding a notes that the average person on the street can do. To be honest, I think the ladies I mentioned before have the it factor, but are totally marketed wrong. Tamia is not old. She is still in her 20s. So, we can’t say it’s an age thang for her. I am just sick of hearing the bubble gum artists when it comes to the African American females. We were brought up on singers such as Patti Labelle, Regina Belle, Teena Marie, Chaka Kahn, Phyllis Hyman, SADE, and the list goes on….

    We have a small group of talent currently, but people don’t want to hear

    1) Jill Scott (by the way, she has a nice CD out…listen to track 13!)

    2) Eraka Bado (sorry if I spelled this wrong)

    3) Alicia Keys (once she gets vocal lessons; she will be a beast!)

    4) Fantasia (ghetto, but has a different, but talented voice)

    5) Mariah Carey (have to give it to her! Hope her CD will be nice)

    BASICALLY, ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT I CAN TAKE THE TALENT OVER THE LOOK ANY DAY! A SONG IS SUPPOSE TO SELL A STORY. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LOOK A CERTAIN TO GET THE POINT ACROSS?

    6) Whitney Houston (Hope her CD is nice!)

  78. Not You

    Who the hell would walk a dog dressed like that??

    That had to be staged. Her boobies would have been out and greeting the public if she was for real.

    Isn’t she 19? No ma’am. Put some clothes on.

  79. DDub

    Tamia is in her 30’s. She has the look but not the image. She was introduced by Qunciy Jones therefore she has that *****ociation with that contemporary style of R&B (despite trying to offer up some pop records). It’s like LL and Jay-Z. Though they are around the same age LL sound will always be *****ociated with the golden era of rap–thus he’ll be seen as an oldschooler. Though I guess at this point Jay is starting to become part of a transition himself with rappers like TI and Kanye emerging.

  80. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    While you simpletons are sitting around yakking on Bossip and throwing darts, Rhi Rhi is making mad money and living the glamorous life. Agreeably, she might not be the strongest singer or dancer, but she’s got something that folks are buying and I for one am glad for that young Bajan gal!!

    And the comparison between her beauty vs. Beyonce’s is ridiculous. They have very different features and they’re both photogenic as hell. C’mon, if Rhi was really that fugly, would she be a Cover Girl, would she be rocking the runways? Silly rabbits…

  81. AND...

    @Shawn

    Of course we would like to hear good singing over pretty girl but would you go to a beyonce concert if she came out with pjs on, no makeup, and her hair in rollers? NO, you wouldn’t and neither would I. You have to have it all. The singers have to look the part and above all the public has to like them. Let us not forget that the people who buy cds, concert tickets, and artist paraphernalia in general are the ones who made them. Beyonce, as much as I love her, ain’t ***** if we don’t support her. Tamia, Whitney, Jill Scott, etc are all GREAT singers but if the m*****es ain’t buying it they can’t sell it.

    @ DDub

    You right. Image is everything.

  82. Shawn

    @ DDub – Tamia is 32 (which is still young)…

    @ Just Sit And Be Pretty – I never compared Beyonce to Rihanna…to me there is no comparison to be made…

    I am only talking about talent which I would like to see more of in 2008.

  83. Shawn

    @ DDub – Tamia is 32 (which is still young)…

    @ Just Sit And Be Pretty – I never compared Beyonce to Rihanna…to me there is no comparison to be made…

  84. VTORIRI

    @Shawn – Now you holding it down big time………..This is so true, I’m old school tooooo (true live performers – stop leaving B out, cause she got it going on live too and you know it’s true)and to see all this bull is shameful……R&B used to be about something and now they are letting the look factor be what it’s all about….If she had a fingertip of talent it would be nice but getting by on looks (being half naked) alone is nothing.

    I love this part:

    BASICALLY, ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT I CAN TAKE THE TALENT OVER THE LOOK ANY DAY! A SONG IS SUPPOSE TO SELL A STORY. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LOOK A CERTAIN WAY TO GET THE POINT ACROSS?

    Kelly Rowland has a nice CD also, and because she came out wrong her CD did’nt sell but we all know she has a talent, but her talent belongs in a group form only……..

  85. Shawn

    @ And – Are you saying that Whitney, Toni Braxton, Tamia, Jill Scott all come out in Rollers & do not put make up on at concerts. Please try to give better comparisons.

    Fact is:

    Jill Scott gave one of the best concerts I have ever seen in my life. Whitney Houston sang so GREAT that it brought tears to my eyes…Tamia has such a great presence that you can’t take your eyes off of her….

    They have images as well…however, their image isn’t based off of SEX….basically that is all that is selling now….SEXXXXXXXXXX….not even image….it is SEXXXXXX!

  86. AND...

    @VTORIRI

    “Kelly Rowland has a nice CD also, and because she came out wrong her CD did’nt sell but we all know she has a talent, but her talent belongs in a group form only……..”

    Okay, so you just complimented kelly and insulted her all in the same sentence. She can sing but only with other people. If she can’t sing well enough to stand solo then she can’t sing. I however think kelly is a great SOLO artist regardless of record sells.

  87. Shawn

    Thanks VTORIRI! I am glad someone understands!


  88. she started on the scene kind of skinny- Rihanna is getting BIG- she seems about 10 lbs bigger every six months

  89. AND...

    @ Shawn

    No you missed my whole point. Image is important, but not everything. Neither Whitney, nor Jill Scott or any of the other singers, good or bad, have come out looking like that b/c they know they have an image to uphold. That was my point. I agree with you except to say that if you don’t have some kind of image then you won’t get the props you deserve. Sex has been selling since the beginning of time. Anita Baker, Tina Turner, Patti, etc all came out wear sexy outfits and sung about sex in their songs. Granted their version of sexy and ours is different but the concept is still the same. Sex does sell and it always will until WE the public COLLECTIVELY demand something different.

  90. eat the cake anna mae

    Her legs look so nasty!

    Why won’t her personal trainer help her! Her legs tell the future of how obese she will be. I already see how hard it is for her to keep her wait down. She is a cute girl with a baby face however she is gonna be a house because it looks as if it mite be hereditary

  91. Miss V.I.P.

    I guess its just me but her neck looks THICK AS HELL I mean dayum shes looking borderline tranny in that 1st pic, and the haircut puts more emphasis on her linebacker neck, maybe its just the pic or the angle but her neck looks as thick as her thighs..did anyone else notice this $hit?

  92. Shawn

    @ And – Both women has SEX APPEAL – NOT SEX as the Image to sell their Albums – There is a difference – The women were fully clothed. Anita always wore something simple (usually black) and even turtle necks. Anita was mostly known for her healthy short hairstyles and voice if you are basing on image. Tina Turner was well known for her voice and moves…and as she progressed in age; her legs were her *****et (image as you would say)…So sex was not the major reason for their success. People were not talking about their buttocks’ and complexions, and their skimpy outfits. They were talking about their talent!

  93. AND...

    @ Shawn

    I completely agree but they did use sex appeal. Duh, no one is saying they had sex as their image. I thought we both understood sex was sex appeal. I agree that they were mostly know for something other than sex appeal but they did use it. Unless there was a Bossip back in Tina and Anita’s hay day you can’t really say what people were talking about so stop making those *****umptions. They didn’t come out in whatever saying ” I know you guys just want to here me sing so I didn’t bother combing my hair” Like I keep saying, it’s an image that they choose to keep up. No one is makeing them do it. The thing we must remember is that the image isn’t real. It’s like the wrapping on a present. It looks nice but if the gift is crappy then the wrapping doesn’t matter.

  94. ripped

    Hot spear of love???????? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

  95. AND...

    @ Shawn

    as far as the two women being fully clothed they weren’t in turtle necks and ankle skirts all day everyday or everytime they stepped on stage. Stop that you are beginning to look foolish. Everybody uses sex appeal.

  96. VTORIRI

    Concerning Kelly, it’s kind of a double standard because you know she can sing and the CD I bought is very good, but she does not have that stand alone presence to me.

    @AND – MISS PATTI was the ugliest singer in the world back in the day, but because of the caliber of her voice she is still here today. Anita Baker did not come out being sexy, she wore long dresses that she liked to swing when the song hit her. Tina Turner wore the sexiest clothes out of all of them and she did that to show off them legs that went with the talent she has (grown up B). Sex has been around but the true talent did not need it back in the dayyyyyyyyyyyyy. NOW THAT’S WHAT WE CALLED TRUE R&B SINGERS.

    @ And – WTF? You didn’t understand what I wrote? Are you slow? 1st off, I said they had SEX APPEAL…. NOT SELLING SEX! Get my quotes correct. As for the current generation….THEY SELL SEX! CAN YOU Understand the difference? Should I break it down to you? Sex appeal is seeing something (not neccessarily your butt, or *****… it could be your eyes) sexually attractive leaving the mind to imagine the sexiness in a being… SELLING SEX is saying, Pay for the Booty and you can get it…. it is a great difference. You’re the one seeming foolish (stupid) (not looking foolish (as you quoted) because I can’t see you)…. Get it right!

  98. Shawn

    @And – WTF said wearing dresses to ankle skirts…Like I said, get it right…I never said ANKLE SKIRTS….you sound foolish!

  99. Shawn

    @ VTORIRI – True statement!

  100. AND...

    @Shawn

    “stupid) (not looking foolish (as you quoted) because I can’t see you)…. Get it right!” and then you typed “you sound foolish!”

    It’s funny how you want to call me stupid and that I can’t see you so I shouldn’t say look foolish when you say I sound foolish. You can’t hear me!! but you know what I was saying regardless of your efforts to dodge the topic. You obviously can’t handle what I’m saying so I’ll leave it alone.

    @VTORIRI

    I agree. But neither Tina nor Anita were dressed like that ALL OF THE TIME. I remember seeing a video of Anita in a short black dress straddling a chair. You can’t tell me that’s not sex appeal. Everyone uses it but some have to rely on it more than others b/c they can’t really sing. I also agree that Patti has a great voice but she still dress provocatively. Have you seen the footage for Lady Marmalade. Patti along with the other ladies in the group had on skimpy clothes. I also agree that TRUE TALENT doesn’t need to dress like that, which is one of the reasons Beyonce does disappoint me with her outfits. Girl can sing she doesn’t need to be on the floor shaking her *****, but she is an adult. She makes her own choices and despite me not liking some of her outfits I continue to buy her albums and go to concerts.

  101. VTORIRI

    Let riri continue to be who she is cause no one is buying it anyway, all the bad reviews are killing her sales she just sold only $16,516 dropped down to #48 or #50 already on the billboard chart so someone is getting tired of her butt besides us.

  102. yea i said it

    What is so cute about that thing up there? She looks like a tall, giant out of *****e creature. I swear black people go crazy over anything light, bright, and almost white!

    Her complexion is weird and very “unhuman”, her head is huge, and her thighs, knees, and ankles are about the same damn size.

  103. VTORIRI

    Let me add this, she sold that much this week she has yet to go plat here in the US. There is still some hope for the music business because here it is this chick had this mega hit song and she still has had the poorest sales for the caliber of the song, the song alone should have sold her CD but by it being her no one is really taking her serious because they know she can’t sing and her touring only poured salt on the open sore (her vocals).

  104. Shawn

    @And – I can take anything. I wasn’t the one who said, “You are looking foolish”. It was not a warranted comment. So you need to get over it. Please learn the difference of SEX APPEAL vs. SELLING SEX (that’s what you need to do)!

  105. Shawn

    Sex Appeal – back in the day singers!

    Selling Sex – current generation of singers!

  106. AND...

    @VTORIRI

    She toured??

  107. VTORIRI

    Where have you been, she has been on tour since 9/15/07 with Akon in Canada first date and every review is bad.

    I gotta go will continue tomorrow

  108. Shawn

    @And – since you don’t know definitions based on sentences, I will help you out!

    sounding (based on the context I used) – logically valid and having true premises…

    now look is another meaning:

    look – (based on the context you used) – to exercise the power of vision

  109. AND...

    @Shawn

    I see you still trying. The only way to sell sex is to ***** somebody and get paid for it which is prostitution. Please stop with the sex and sex appeal definitions. I know what you’re trying to say but it’s not working. You have completely taken this thing out of context. Here is my statement again “as far as the two women being fully clothed they weren’t in turtle necks and ankle skirts all day everyday or everytime they stepped on stage. Stop that you are beginning to look foolish. Everybody uses sex appeal.” which was in response to “The women were fully clothed. Anita always wore something simple (usually black) and even turtle necks.” I didn’t say u said they were in ankle skirts and I thought that you knew that since you typed it. What I’m saying is that everyone uses sex appeal. Some do more than others. Either way it goes Rihanna is making money (regardles of how little) and we are on here talking about sex appeal. Who cares?

  110. AND...

    @VTORIRI

    Damn I didn’t know that. Well there you do. If people don’t like her music it won’t sell.

  111. AND...

    correction

    Well there you go.

  112. Shawn

    @And – no you are not getting it. I am saying to you that the women in the past did not use sex appeal – they exude sex appeal…meaning it is their natural being.

    Today’s artist are selling sex because they are not naturally using the appeal they were born with, but are forcing it upon america through videos, etc.

    So, this will be my last attempt to teach because you are not learning. And I am not trying to force anything upon you, I was hoping to show you there is a difference and that things are more based on an image today then what is was in years prior. In years prior you did have to have talent, and there were full figured singers making it big…it was not based solely upon your *****ets – which is not true today.

    Thanks for trying though…

  113. Shawn

    @And – last thing…you can try to SELL SEX all day long and never get *****ed!!!! So, your statement once again is untrue.

    Thanks!

    I usually aint impressed by this girl….but i can’t front she looks effing HOT in this pic.


  116. All cute except the shoes. HATE those.

    Finally, you’re beginning to understand.

  118. nahnah

    shawn is 100% correct.

    just compare tlc of the 90’s to the destiny child (beyonce) and her back up singers of today. the former group were highly successful, yet their wardbrobe usually consisted of extremely baggy clothes. tlc were still sexy regardless, and sold millions of albums.

  119. AND...

    @shawn- last thing… unless you have been trained to be a teacher you shouldn’t. This is not a cl***** it’s a website for free expression.

    Thanks for trying though…LOL

  120. chem

    love her style

  121. My Business

    @ Shawn

    I agree with what you are saying and all that you mention all have talent. In fact the names you stated thats what you call Grown Fokes singing and alot of people on here wouldn’t know anything about it! Beyonce yes I listen to her but she’s not a singer! A singer can sing any and everything and make it their own and she can’t! Shes a great performer!

  122. Shawn

    @My Business – I agree…

  123. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    I disagree, Beyonce CAN sing, no doubt! She blew on “Listen” from Dreamgirls (i think working with Jhud really pushed her vocally) and a few years back, she blew singing the National Anthem (which we all know isn’t the easiest thing to get right)…*thinking of Keisha Cole’s horrendous version on the NFL opening night. Granted B sings a lot of pop/R&B that doesn’t allow her to really showcase her voice, but be fair, she CAN sing.

  124. DIAMONDCHEERS

    AND…

    AND… another thing, this is called the music industry for a reason. People can question her looks, swagger, hair, and dance moves but you can’t question her vocals. Named three people in the game right now who can outsing Beyonce? The only person in my opinion that can give her a run for her money is Jennifer Hudson but the verdict is still out on her career. Like I said you have to have the ‘total package.’

    hate 2 break it 2 u but Mariah Carey, keyshia Cole, Lil Mo and yes Alicia Keys will send Beyonce packing with a one way ticket n i’m a Bey fan

  125. nahnah

    beyonce CAN sing, there’s no doubt about that.

  126. nahnah

    it’s just the stuff she sings…


  127. Dogs used as accessories is just lame… Paris Hilton started that wack tread a few years ago. So played out!!!


  128. *trend*

  129. Jeri

    diamondcheers

    The only one I agree w/ u on is Mariah but the rest of them Beyonce will blow them out the water. Alicia? She can play the piano but everybody knows she’s not a vocalist. Keyshia? No Lil Mo? LMAO I almost forgot she even existed. Plus Beyonce has sold more than all them. But Mariah yes she can blow no doubt. But them other ones Bey sells more.


  130. HA! That is not a dog…it’s cute though. Really cute! (JK) It is cute though…like a little stuffed animal.

  131. TA

    WHAT IN THE WORLD IS RIHANNA STILL EXISTING FOR? THE ***** HAS NO TALENT AND ON TOP OF EVRYTHANG ELSE SHE’S A DOG THIEF CUZ THAT TYPE OF DOG WAS REALLY CIARA’S FIRST.

  132. Triple XXX

    the pic looks staged but hey she’s very hot.

  133. ke

    I like her outfit and her haircut. But, who walks there dog w/ in a low-cut dress. I am a dog lover, but, if my pooch, craps on my outfit or my shoes, “It’s on”. It seems (to me)like, celebs don’t know how to care for there animals, like they don’t know how to care for their children. They just want to take pictures all day!!! But, get offended when pictures are being taken too much.


  134. “THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM FOR BEYONCE AND RHIANNA! THEY ARE BOTH HOT CHICKS AND DOIN WHAT THEY DO WELL! ITS NOT LIKE WE AS BLACK FOLK GOT A HAND FULLA “HOT CHICKS” ON THIS LEVEL IN MUSIC! WHAT WE NEED TO BE DOIN IS SUPPORTIN ALL OF THEM AND STOP THIS BEYONCE VERSUS RHIANNA NONSENSE!”

    AMEN!

    Especially now that Rihanna has found her own niche and quit trying to be a Beyonce clone, I think there is more than enough room for them both. Beyonce is more diva-type (for adults). Rihanna is more pop (for the young teens). The more fabulous black chicks in the game, the better. Now if only we can get some brown-skinned ones…

  135. Biff Worthington III

    My Word! She is quite fetching.

  136. Zac In London

    She looks fabulous darling!Maybe a bit mature but there is a chance she was coming from a shoot. But its fly and I would wear it!

  137. prolly

    gosh.. her legs are freaking crappy!! she is fat and fugly and *****ty :-) )


  138. That is a CUTE getup…..(even tho I dnt like Rhianna)
