Rihanna Covers Rolling Stone Magazine (Talks Relationship With Chris Brown)

Rihanna covers Rolling Stone Magazine with the caption "Crazy In Love" on the cover to describe her current relationship that everyone has been following attentively.
In the interview Rihanna goes in to defend Chris Brown saying "He's not the monster everyone thinks he is". She left him so he could understand what he was missing but in the process she was missing him so she went back. Rihanna wanted to be happy and she feels like he is the only person that understands her.

Check out the Highlights below:

On being mad at Chris and her decision to give the relationship another try
I wanted him to know what it felt like to lose me. To feel the consequences of that. But I got real with myself, and I just couldn’t bury the way I felt.
I decided it was more important for me to be happy, and I wasn’t going to let anybody’s opinion get in the way of that. Even if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I’d rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it.

On not being able to talk to anyone about Chris, not even her best friend
I just felt like, why bother? Nobody else is going through it. Nobody would understand.

On how they’ve grown to value each other more
When you add up the pieces from the outside, it’s not the cutest puzzle in the world. You see us walking somewhere, driving somewhere, in the studio, in the club, and you think you know. But it’s different now. We don’t have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about (stuff). We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don’t want to lose that.

On what she loves about him
For a long time he was really angry, and he felt like he couldn’t get away from it, no matter what he did. But there’s so many reasons why I ever reconsidered having him in my life. He’s not the monster everybody thinks. He’s a good person. He has a fantastic heart. He’s giving and loving. And he’s fun to be around. That’s what I love about him – he always makes me laugh. All I want to do is laugh, really – and I do that with him.

On if he’s changed
Of course everybody has their opinion about him, because of what he’s done. That will always be there. But he made a mistake, and he’s paid his dues. He’s paid so much. And I know that’s not a place he would ever want to go back to. And sometimes people need support and encouragement, instead of ridicule and criticism and bashing.

On if she’s trying to rehabilitate him
Wait. You think I’m here to rehabilitate Chris? No, no, no. That is not my purpose. Trust me. I could have done that from the jump if I thought that was my job. My job was to take care of myself – and I did. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think Chris was ready.
And trust me – it makes me feel great to know that people care. I guess it’s just something that will show with time. There’s nothing I could say that would convince you right now. But we’re in a great place. And I can’t ever see us going back.

On if he messes up again
Listen, I’ll tell you right now: I don’t have to take it. If he gives me that again, here’s what I give him: nothing. I just walk away. He doesn’t have that luxury of (expletive) up again. That’s just not an option. I can’t say that nothing else will go wrong. But I’m pretty solid in knowing that he’s disgusted by that. And I wouldn’t have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility.”

On her love being a sign of weakness
I could never identify with that word, ‘weak.’ I couldn’t have come out of this if I was weak. No way.”

In my opinion when a person begins to realize they have a problem and tries to fix it they deserve a second chance. I give Chris Brown a second chance because we all make mistakes.I wish them both the best. OnPointLove!

In the new issue which hits news stands tomorrow, she also talks about the 777 Tour, wanting to have babies only if she can buy them and her new album.

[VIDEO] Rihanna Shows Us How To Take Quality Instagram Photos

I know everyone will agree when I say Bad Gal Riri take some Bad Gal photos on instagram. In a behind-the-scenes video for Complex Rihanna gives the world a view of how she gets her self portraits to look so well. In the background her track "Pour it Up" is playing.

She tells the magazine:

It’s narcissistic, but whatever—everyone does it. I’m capturing personality…
[...] People take their own pictures, because it’s difficult for someone else to capture what you seek. Get a good light. Get a good angle on what’s working for you that day. If it’s boobs, make sure you hit that. If it’s face, make sure it’s fierce.

Rihanna is GQ Man of the Year

Machine Gun Riri is wearing more tattoos than clothing in her new spread for GQ’s Men Of The Year issue which hits news stands this month. In the new cover story, Ri chops it up with GQ writer Jay Bulger (who spent time with the singer while she was parading around NYC with Chris Brown) about two of her favorite subjects: music and sex. In the interview, she says that while some people just see her as dollar signs, she’s not into making corny music that’s not real and she admits that her highly sexual personality comes from her culture.

Also, if you want to turn her on, you better know how to take control:

On People Seeing Her As Only A Product
Sometimes a person looks at me and sees dollars. They see numbers and they see a product. I look at me and see art. If I didn’t like what I was doing, then I would say I was committing slavery.
I want to make music that’s hopeful, uplifting. Nothing corny or super-sentimental. I just want it to have the feeling that brings you out of whatever you’re going through. I want it to spark that fire. I want it to be real, authentic, and raw.
On Being Highly Sexual
That comes from my culture. That’s just the way it’s always been, and I think that for people, especially in America, they make it like the forbidden fruit, but that only makes kids more curious….I was a lot more naive about the way I moved and the way I was being perceived. The more you hear people talk about ‘Oh, you’re a sex symbol,’ it just makes you think, ‘Why are you saying that?’ And I figured it out.
On Her Turn Ons
I like to feel like a woman.  I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, like I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead.
On if she believes the Drake & Chris’ Bottle Fight Was Because of Her
There’s no proof of that being for my love. That’s my answer to that question.

I feel like people fail to realize that this girl is still a baby. She's trying to figure things out on her own. I agree with Rihanna when she says America acts like its a forbidden fruit. The more you hide things from the youth the more they want it. You have to educate them and teach them right from wrong. Rihanna has done a lot of growing up and I'm proud of her...OnPointCeleb!

Rihanna talks Dating and Chris Brown

On her Dating life:

I have not been on a date in forever. Like two years. Haven’t gone to the movies, to dinner. Zero.
I would love to go on a date! You don’t think that? I’m a woman. A young woman, vibrant, and I love to have fun. And I have too many vaginas around me at this point. She takes a sip of wine. “Seriously, all I want is a guy to take me out and make me laugh for a good hour and take my ass back home. He doesn’t even have to come up. All I want is a conversation for an hour.”
So what gives?
No one asks. Trust me on that. I’m waiting for the man who’s ballsy enough to deal with me. I’m going to wait, though. You always find the wrong sh-t when you go looking.

When asked about her friendship with Chris Brown, she responded:

There’s some obsession that’s continued even throughout when we weren’t friends or couldn’t be friends at all. Hated each other. The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything, really, besides the song.
I didn’t think [Birthday Cake] could be anything detrimental to my career. I was on a tour bus ride between two cities, listening to my album, thinking, Oooh, maybe I should make this into a duet. And I started coming up with a bunch of people, and his name crossed my mind. I thought, We haven’t made a song in so long together . . . it could be a little shocking.
So now it’s a bit of a fascination, I guess. I don’t know if people will stop soon, but I feel like as soon as they have closure to it, they will. But they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.

And if you are wondering why Rihanna doesn’t take a break and continues to release an album almost every year [6 albums in 7 years], her manager Jay Brown had a matter-of-fact answer for that:

If you have a new iPhone every year, why can’t we give them new content?
But I don’t think she’s thinking of it like that. She’s thinking, I love to make music. I want to keep going.

Rita Ora Covors Coplex Magazine Talking Success, Rihanna, and Rob Kardashian

On Rob Kardashian:
I mean, it’s not really a relationship. It’s not that intense. He’s a cool guy. We’re close. We’re good friends. I got his back and he’s got mine. To me, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from—if you’re a good person and you got my back, I got yours. It’s that easy for me.

On Rihanna Beef: 

I admire Rihanna. She works her ass off. She hasn’t had a break and she has given people hit after hit after hit. That work ethic and discipline is hardcore.That’s the kind of sh-t that I want to do. That I will do….

Rita on tweeting the photo of her and Rihanna with the caption, ‘@rihanna hatin a$$ biatch!!! Mwah!!!!’
People were like, ‘What the f-ck! Everyone thought that we hated each other, but the whole thing was created by the media. That’s what’s so funny. [...] We made a joke out of it. It’s love. Roc Nation is such an incredible, unique team, especially in the music industry. Everyone genuinely loves and cares about each other.

OnPoint! Love it!

Rihanna Making Her Way Into Grandma's Funeral In Brooklyn

Rihanna Grandmother Ciara Barthwaite also known as Grandma Dolly was laid to rest at a funeral in Brooklyn. She passed last weekend after fighting a longtime battle with Cancer.
Rihanna was spotted heading into the funeral with her assistant Jessica by her said for support.

 After the funeral Rihanna tweeted:

This is definitely a tough time for Rihanna knowing her relationship with her Grandmother. I really do hope everyone respects her privacy at this emotional time in her life.

NEWS: Rihanna's NEW TAT!

I like...OnPoint!

Rihanna Learns to ignore!

Rihanna was spotted in New Orleans filming a new Seth Rogen film, titled ‘End Of The World’ starring the likes of Kevin Hart, Jonah Hill (Knocked Up), Michael Cera (Juno) and Emma Watson (Harry Potter).

When Rihanna was asked about twitter and comments surrounding her instagram in a Esquire UK interview she says, "This is what I do. I live my life and they document it".

She Continues with:

A lot of things I don’t care for people to know, but it just is. That’s what it’s become. Who wants to be bashed every day of their f–king lives? That’s not fun.
Today I could eat an apple, and ten people like it and one will not. The next day I could do shots and five people will like it and five won’t. What’s important is, you never know. You can’t do it for the reaction because it’s never going to be the same. I learned to live my life with the blinders on. At one point it was so bad, it became numb for me. It was a scary place to be.
I completely shut off from it so much, I didn’t feel anything. I didn’t feel the good or the bad. It just didn’t matter. It was all a façade. I put my guard up. It hurts when people say negative stuff but you have to decompartmentalize that. It’s not easy.

I'm proud of her for now focusing on her life and no one else...OnPoint! :-)

She made a separate tweet saying ‘Tat my f***in name on u girl so I know its real!!! #MINE’.
