LolaDub Rihanna completely changes her tune about past drinking Sep 15, 2008 10:00 AM Last summer Rihanna told Maxim Magazine’s German edition that she’d never been drunk in her life. She was asked “Did you ever get wasted?” and replied “I do like to go out. Here in Europe I [am] allowed to drink alcohol. I never have been really drunk. One, two cocktails, that’s it.” Rihanna is 20 years old and was 19 when that interview was conducted. The singer is from Barbados, where the drinking age is 18 but younger teens are allowed to drink when they’re with their parents. Rihanna changed her story in a recent interview, saying she did get drunk as a young teen, but she added that she “wasn’t exactly in Amy Winehouse mode.” Rihanna’s father was addicted to crack when she was a child and she’s admitted in the past that seeing her father in that state was a powerful lesson: Rihanna spent her time as a teenager in Barbados getting drunk with her friends — but insists she never “went over the top” like Amy Winehouse. “I’d go out and get drunk, but that’s what teenage girls do in Barbados,” the singer, 20, says of her rebellious phase at the age 14. “The country’s pretty laid-back about the legal age for drinking. But I never went too over the top,” she tells Britain’s Live magazine. “I wasn’t exactly in Amy Winehouse mode. I’d seen what alcohol and drugs had done to my dad and I wasn’t going to follow in his footsteps. I knew my limits when I was a kid and I still do. “If I go to a club, I go for the sounds. I go out to have fun, to dance and laugh at people fighting or dressed like whores. I might have a few drinks, but I don’t get tipsy too easily. I don’t ever get to the point where I want to throw up, can’t stand up straight or say things I’m likely to regret in the morning.” [From Showbizspy via Gossip Rocks] A lot of teenagers do that, but why did she say she’d never been drunk before? The original “I never have been really drunk” article was in German but my husband translated it for me and that’s exactly what she said unless she was misquoted. Maybe by really drunk she meant falling down, but her definition seems to have changed. It’s also pretty rude to use a notorious addict and fellow singer as a comparison. Rihanna had another recent interview in which she skirted the issue of whether she’s broke or not. Her ex business manager claimed that Rihanna only had $20,000 to her name after her other manager invested all her money into her career and music videos. Rihanna said she “stays on top” of her money but didn’t really acknowledge the rumors: “I get business reports all the time because it’s my money. And I stay on top by living it, breathing it, thinking about it every day and every night.” [From ONTD] So she admits that she’s consumed by the situation whatever it may be. Rihanna must be so busy thinking about her money that she doesn’t remember what she was up to a few years ago. http://www.celebitchy.com/14167/rihanna_completely_changes_her_tune_about_past_drinking/

LolaDub Rihanna Is 'On Top' Of Her Money Sep 15, 2008 7:06 AM Last month there were reports circulating the net that Rihanna got shafted by one of her business managers and that she was going broke. According to Rihanna, those reports were nothing but a rumor because she is "too business minded to be broke." “You can’t get away from the business side. It takes over. The minute you get into the business side, it becomes you. I get business reports all the time because it’s my money. And I stay on top by living it, breathing it, thinking about it every day and every night,” said Rihanna. We were scared she was going to become another MC Hammer there for a minute. Rihanna definitely looks like she's on top of her shit, we're sure Jay-Z taught her well! http://www.hollyscoop.com/rihanna/rihanna-is-on-top-of-her-money_17638.aspx

LolaDub Rihanna Going Broke Aug 18, 2008 10:59 AM During a recent visit to her now ex-business manager Patricia Williams, Rihanna was shocked to learn that almost all her money was missing. So where did all that mullah go? According to Williams, it was never there to begin with. Williams claims that Def Jam never really paid Rihanna, so she would use earnings from her concerts (about $30k a show) to fund her lifestyle and finance her other albums. "I showed her all the paperwork and tried to explain to her the circumstances but she wouldn't listen. She called me all sorts of horrible names and stormed off." Williams added that Rihanna has only made "a little bit above a million" and "all of it was spent on making her as big as she is now. It's not my fault that she only has 20,000 to her name." Hmm...that sounds a little sketchy. How can someone as big as Rihanna only have $20k to her name? We're not pointing fingers or anything, but it sounds like firing Williams was the smartest thing Rihanna has done in years. i say bullshit..sounds fishy to me http://www.hollyscoop.com/rihanna/rihanna-going-broke_17296.aspx

LolaDub WORLD PREMIERE: RIHANNA’S ‘DISTURBIA’ Jul 22, 2008 7:06 AM Hot off the press: Check out Rihanna’s just-released video for her latest single, Disturbia. The song was originally written by Rihanna’s beau Chris Brown and his team known as the Graffiti Artizts and was considered for the re-release of his album Exclusive. However, Chris felt that the song would be better suited for a female singer. We agree. The video, directed by famed photographer/director David LaChapelle, was filmed during the last weekend of June. Our thoughts? http://www.fadedyouthblog.com/

LolaDub Rihanna was traumatized by prejudice growing up Jul 21, 2008 8:57 AM Rihanna credits her success as a singer to childhood bullying, insisting her prejudiced peers prepared her for the entertainment industry by forcing her to develop a thick skin. The Barbados-born beauty experienced difficulty fitting in at school because her lighter complexion left her feeling like an outsider. But she says the taunting she endured is what eventually drove her to seek out the limelight. She says, “It (prejudice) made me angry. It made me want to fight in my younger years. Having lighter skin wasn’t a problem in my household, but it was when I went to school - which really confused me at first. For the first six years of school, I would go home traumatized.” Source :( shame http://icydk.com/2008/07/21/rihanna-was-traumatized-by-prejudice-growing-up/
