LOL... I love how all the rihanna fans are rallying round to try and defend this picture. It is cheap trash. Rihanna is a domestic abuse victim and also had leaked naked pictures of her on the internet. Now why would a woman who has suffered that want to use sex to sell her record? the only reason why is cus she knows she is a rubbish singer and so this is the only gimmick she can use to sell the records which are all dark and somber. "Cold Case Love" is the best song on the album but even that song references her domestic abuse. "Fire Bomb" is a song full of violent metaphors and "The Last Song" is a ballad that should be sung by someone with a voice.

@Raychel... one word love... "delusional" if you think rihanna's music is inspirational. how does constantly appearing naked with weapons (or in sexual poses) inspire domestic abuse victims? This album was rushed to capitalise on Riri's abuse incident.

So what if this is her fastest selling album... that just goes to show its a fad. true success comes in how many hit singles it produces, how long it stays in the charts etc. by february 2010 rihanna will have released 4 singles from the album which would have only been out around 3 months! that says it all... desperate and pathetic.

By the way beyonce fans have nothing to worry bout, she beats rihanna any day
