Exclusive: Rihanna 'Rude Boy' Video Premiere released IN FULL

I just watched the 'Rude Boy' video and to be honest, I actually really like the visuals [as you can see from the quick lil collage I did just to jazz up the post ;)]. That's it really. I don't like the song at all and I doubt I will watch the video again now that I've got my lil collage to look at LOL! Rihanna can't really dance so the director thought he would go all Andy Warhol on us and use Rihanna like a can of campbell's soup to create movement...

Director's thoughts: "DAYUUMMM!!!This chick can't dance-what am I gonna do...*lightbulb moment*...select all of her tall ass...copy...paste, paste, paste, paste, paste, paste, paste, invert colours, paste left, paste right, paste, paste, paste, flash images, flash, flash, paste...wow...it DID work..."

PROS: Colours, tribal patterns :D, the Keith Haring doodles, cartoon cut-out graphics

CONS: When it switches to the monochrome Keith Haring inspired room....I don't like the contrast between green screen backgrounds to 'hot-minute-real-background'. I get the whole change of mood and all but it irks me.

Oh, and her 'dancing'.

There is no way I can paste this due to restrictions from VEVO [what tha HECK is that thing?!?!?!] it keeps being deleted so watch it now before it disappears again!!

*HoodandProper insists* Okay, no more Rihanna on here [and, hopefully, the radio] for a long time now...lol!

Rihanna 'Rude Boy' Video Preview

Balloons, a zebra, Keith Haring doodles all over the walls, a monochrome catsuit....and some chick writhing around the floor to remain relevant amongst the art. I don't big up Rihanna because of the fact that I am too aware of her manufactured persona. She is not edgy, her stylist is edgy and she is ready.....ready to do anything from 'leaked topless pics' to pierced bits. As I have said before, Rihanna is just a face. The same way Cassie is just a face. These two artists are great poster girls for the 'if you missed the charisma and stage presence train, jump on the sex sells bandwagon' advert. When she spends more time in the studio then on some dude or on the roadside like some hooker then I will stop writing negative [truthful] things about her. Actually, I...awww who cares...

*Kara* would love to see what would happen if someone told Rihanna her whole team are all on holiday.... for a year....[phhhffft!]

Rihanna 'Rude Boy' Video Photos

Rihanna tries to reclaim her Carribean roots for her next video, 'Rude Boy', with some, erm, Sean Paul video-gal outfits. She even dusts off her 'Pon De Replay' weave for one of her looks. This will be interesting to see as the song itself somehow sounds a lil dated and this outfit with the leopard print hat....ditto....[hey...doesn't she look like that singer from Barbados, Shontelle, in this pic..?]

Monochrome tribal goodness...

The sequin hat is cute and the bracelet made out of G-Shock watches looks fun cos it reminds me of when I used to make bracelets by chaining bits of coloured paper together at school...the sunglasses are too bait...

The only good thing on the radio this year via Rihanna was 'Hard' and by good thing, I mean the people who produced/wrote/arranged the track. Just thought I'd add that small bit of truth so you stans can call it customary 'hating'.

*Kara* is off to the movies ...must.....stay....awake ;)

EXCLUSIVE: RHIANNA'S BEATEN FACE

My heart literally skipped a beat when I saw this. It seemed fun to joke about the Rhianna Vs Chris Brown issue but I'm sure that after this photo many of us will take a moment to think. Yes, Rhianna probably did provoke him to switch on her as Chris Brown looks like a weedy, little boy but for CB to do this to the woman he claims to 'love', displays a real problem. For someone that has admitted in previous interviews that he has witnessed his own father beat up his mother, this is not good. Chris Brown is just another sad case of the cycle repeating itself.

The one thing I really do not want to see is Rhianna on Oprah sobbing, 'I am so grateful for the support of my fans and the public. If it weren't for you guys I wouldn't have been able to re-release my new album *Rhianna wipes her tears clean to pose for the cameras* Good Girl Good Relationship Gone Bad Gone Police Station Gone Photographic Evidence Gone Platinum'.....out March 30th...'. Knowing her, she probably will use this to boost the album sales of Good Girl Gone Bad (that album she released three years ago).

On a serious note, I hope both of them recover for their own sake.
