As earlier reported, Roc star Rita Ora performed a specially-assembled showcase at the Cartier Juste un Clou in New York last night.
And as well as thrilling with her own gems, the 22 year old Londoner also offered up a tribute to the group she told That Grape Juice influenced her immeasurably – Destiny’s Child.
Interestingly, the addition of the song to her set fell on the night DC staple Beyonce was watching from the audience with husband and Ora’s mentor Jay-Z.
How did Rihanna’s worst nightmare fare? Find out after the jump…
She nailed it, proving once again that any comparisons to her Roc “sister” RiRi are merely superficial. For, Ora can actually sing, boasting a voice with rasp and character. Great performance.
Tidbit: Rit’s clearly been watching ‘The Beyonce Experience’ given the adlibs and vocal stylings of the song. That said, it wouldn’t surprise if Beyonce herself had a hand in the performance, as the band had the exact same arrangement as Bey.
Your thoughts?

Rihanna ain’t got nothing to worry about. Lightning doesnt strike The same place twice. She’ll fail like Teirra Marie did.
Well done rita…….i believe rihanna would have did just as well every time you mention rihanna in a rita post it just makes ri fans and in result rita loses a fan……..so while you guess are always on your quest to tear ri down you making it hard for rita to gain fans…..rihanna voice isn’t the greatest but its unique which is why many people like her…….and while you shading ri she collecting money from her #1 box office hit Battleship and preparing to gain another number 1 single under her belt so before you cosign ms ora check How we do party is doing on the charts and instead of help her gain fans instead of putting her in competition let her live
Ok, how funny is that a copycat-swagger jacker is copying another copycat-swagger jacker?
And Rihanna never ever said one thing about her so why is TGJ saying Rihanna’s worst nightmare? Wait for Rita to release 6 albums and get all the collaborations Rihanna got before comparing anything about them…
Last thing, we don’t need a Rihanna look alike, plus Rita’s voice is basic! If a girl like Jessie J can’t make it, then Rita won’t last 2 months!
she’s cool 🙂
nothing more , nothing less 🙂
and Puh-lease … rihanna got nothing to worry about !! jay want 2 cash cows , not only one cash cow that is rihanna. pure business. TGJ is so dumb to even think like a business man with that s***** blog. why putting aside someone who get u $$ for another h** that will need to get promoted like DAMN just to be known to the public. of course he want 2 rihannas under his arms cuz this , to him , what will keep his pockets full.
that’s why he chose the closest one who can imitate rihanna and he will use this to promote her ass. and of course that will make rihanna happy cuz this , alone, will make her more relevant.
U get it TGJ ?! 😉 , rihanna is a winner on both sides 😉
now enjoy this one 😆
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaPxYrjLhvA
Rita is one cool chick, ofc she reminds all of us of RIHANNA!
Listen TGJ, we understand you’re lifeless and your blog is irrelevant.
Shading Rihanna won’t make you relevant so sit.
When Rita makes ONE No.1 call me,i will wait.
She needs 10 more No.1’s to be in LANE w/ Queen Rihanna.
Old-Z doesn’t like Rita, he likes MONEY.
For more information come to my Twitter. I’ll TALK THAT TALK, h***.
there is no “IT” factor with this girl. Basic…..next!
TGJ Must have forgot Ri Ri is probably sipping tea singing
All up on it
Know you wanna clone it
Aint like me
That chick to phoney
Ride this beat, beat, beat like a pony
Meet me at the top (top, top)
Gettin’ lonely
Who think they test me now
Run through your town
I shut it down
Brilliant, resilient
Fan mail from 27 million
And I want it all
It’s gonna take more than that
Hope that ain’t all you got
Presses play on hard
TGJ needs to STOP sipping on that haterade!!! And this article is clearly written by a man because men love to see women go at it each other! Why don’t you just report on Rita’s music/performance??? I have no idea why RiRi has to come into it. I think TGJ needs to get out of that mindset that thinks in order to promote an artist we have to tear down another …. There’s plenty of room at the top!!! And if you don’t like RiRi don’t listen to her, simple….why must you take every opportunity to constantly criticise her…honestly it makes TGJ look petty & jealous of her success
Tgj will always try and diss rihanna, this Rita aint nobody but a riri and beyonce lookalike rihanna has done well ok she don’t have the best voice but she’s sold more than beyonce and is more revelant ppl are just up beyonces ass.yh beyonce good but take away the ass shakin and hair swingin and she aint s***!(and I’m a beyonce fan)she’s over rated
@dead at POp royalty thinking That’s singing Lmaooooooooo Roftl pop stop being so delusional Rihanna is a Hot mess and What keeps her going is releasing an album every year. Rihanna is big right now No denying it but if you think bout it her 6 studio album is barely over 2mil mark and she is barely plat in the Us and her first week sales are weak So I won’t make her that huge star you make her out to be pls sit her singles sell. The generic ones Yes lol rihanna is nothing but a bandwagon artist borrowing peoples looks. Clearly she borrowed rita ora look that pic proves it she a h** and she sells her p**** to sell that’s all she has no artistry bone in her body she has a Team behind her that keeps her going You guys really have to worship ester dean cus she is basically the machine behind rihanna and has given her sound to ri so bye
SAM WHY DO YOU HATE RIHANNA?
YOU DISS RIHANNA NEARLY EVERYDAY. WHY? DID SHE SLEEP WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND?
It’s comical to see fans try to degrade the same man, Jay-Z, who signed Rihanna. Rita Ora is definitely talented, but so is Rihanna. Jay-Z has a great eye for talent. Most of the artists on Roc Nation has either contributed to a #1 song, album, or is working with highly respected artists so to dislike Rita or Rihanna is both funny and useless. Jay-Z is winning in more ways than one… Rita and Rihanna isn’t even the half.
Note: Rita Ora is one of my favorite new artists and can’t wait to hear her debut LP. Rihanna is still one of my favorite female artists, no one can ever contribute to music what she he has culturally. Billboard doesn’t exactly lie.
I so love her vocals and how she played with it on this song. It just shows her vocal range is unbelievable. Go Rita and keep showcasing your talent. no gimmicks.
@pop royalty , majority of jay’s money is not made through his artist. It is from his other business ventures. Not including his artist. Before rihanna jay was on forbes and making millions. He was spending his money instead of receiving.
Rita doesn’t even have an album out and the navy is freaking out already? This girl is doing great for a new artist. she has a #1 song out already and has lots of people on her side already. \this girl is lucky to be surrounded by so many positive people. At least no one can deny that rita is talented but no one sees rihanna’s talent. It is questioned everyday. Thanks to her taking off her clothes. It got her somewhere. She is not a singer, not a performer, not an entertainer. what is she? Go Rita keep focused and forget these comparisons cause I see none.
It is one thing being an it girl but another to reach iconic status based on your influence and showcasing your talent inspires lots of people.
That was just average to me..
I want the navy to stay on topic. What a great performance by Rita. flawless vocals. give props don’t be embarrassed. lol
@KIMBERLY
if she’s not a singer, not a performer, not an entertainer, that 90 million from loud tour says different and that she’s the second artist awards shows call to make sure their raings will be good…..
You sound dumb if she wasn’t talented please tell me how she’s winning and cassie isn’t or ciara or teairra marie…. thats just to name a few
!!WOW..!! This Rita Ora CAN SING..!!!
..And Rihanna? *sigh..* Rihanna is that proverbial “cat on a hot til roof”.
Hell to be Rihanna:
1.) Nicki Minaj is forcing her off the Pop-culture landscape. Did Rihanna have as many endorsement deals this early in HER career..?! NOPE!
2.) Rihanna has proven herself to be toxic to ALL the black men in her life – those who publicly consorted with her: Chris Brown and Matt Kemp. And when they were distanced from Rihanna’s “proximate toxicity”, it was only then that they THEN regained their respective “winning forms”.
3.) “Rated R” proved itself to be, based on ROI, an unmitigated, whole-cut FAILURE! This is why Def Jam had cut the budget for her projects, which THEN forced Rihanna to go shopping for, with trademarked materials in hand, to the different video directors to direct S&M. This is why Rihanna/concerned parties, were found, before a court of law, liable for the theft of Dave LaChapelle’s intellectual property and had to reimburse him MILLIONS..!! This is why Philip Paulus is NOW “coming for his”.
4.) “Battleship” is now a “$250-Million ++” movie with final costs that is YET to be determined. Those “final get-to-theater costs” will be, at the very least EQUAL TO the now known production budget. So essentially, Rihanna will be the face of a $450-Million FAILURE..!! For “Battleship” NOT to be considered a “failure”, it’ll have to do, at the VERY least (using low-end-not-yet-known-final numbers as reference ‘250 x 1.45′): $362.5-Million WW. Of that, it has to return $237.5-Million from foreign screens, as it’s projected to do $125-Million from U.S. domestic.
5.) (said mentioned) Chris Brown doesn’t want to get back with her. Rihanna wanted to..’reacquaint’ herself again with Chris Brown. He wasn’t, at all, interested! <–The "hottest sting" Rihanna had EVER felt..!!
5.) And now Rita Ora, who is now being lovingly nurtured with all the attention that Rihanna was once showered with, by none other than Rihanna's one-time mentor: JayZ.
!!MAN DOWN..!! Rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT.. "R.I.P to the girl we use to see; she's over, baby she's overrrr"
I enjoyed her version of the song.
So Beyonce is releasing End of Time, Rihanna is releasing where have you been. Hmm! looking forward to that!!! On your marks…..Get set…….Readyy!!……Goooo!!!>>>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>>
GeT off Rihanna D*** Haters and this chick Rita I like her but she anit all that! Beyonce, Rihanna,Rita all these chicks look alike SMH
@kIM :
JUST try when you discuss a topic to separate between FACTS and your personal opinion , just because you don’t like rihanna doesn’t mean she’s not Good. the girl got “IT” , she can sing : YES , specially the slow songs when relaxed and in a good-giving mood , she can dance : Not really , but she can move those hips in songs like ” rude boy” and ” what’s my name ” real good , and we, the navy , we don’t ask for neither a ciara choreography nor a janet dancing skills , we like her that way ! and girl don’t go and say ” i’m better than everybody talent-wise” , gurl know her limits and she’s improving in front of our eyes !
she can entertain : yes she can , her last tour is a smasher , and her fans got entertained. numbers never lie , u know it 😉
if she wasn’t that talented she could have never survived that long , cuz just look at ppl like cassie who depended completely on looks , where are them now ?!
look at ppl who weren’t diverse like ciara , where are them now ?!!
U see , just because you don’t like her doesn’t mean she’s not good. and u really need to stop involved in such topics if you are going to be biased like that.
Rita is good and i support her now , but i just want her to be herself , i want her to be so good in her own right without rihanna’s name being present everytime she take a breath. U get it ?!
and the navy is Loving Rita , we like Rihanna cuz she’s cool and got what we like , Rita showed us she can be as cool as rihanna , so we initially like her , she’s yet to prove the ” best selling digital artist of all times” part. 😉
so …… no , the real navy are not mad !
@NO SHADE re: April 14, 2012 at 5:13 am —
“she’s the second artist awards shows call to make sure their raings will be good”
Huh?! Say Whaaaa?! You’ve got to be kidding.. And what about Rihanna’s #1 female comp: Nicki Minaj? And Chris Brown?! He drew FAR-better numbers for ALL the TV appearances he did as compared to Rihanna: SNL, BET Awards, AMAs, etc..etc..etc..
“You sound dumb if she wasn’t talented please tell me how she’s winning and cassie isn’t or ciara or teairra marie…. thats just to name a few”
Can Rihanna dance? NOPE! Can Rihanna sing? NOPE! Does Rihanna’s name appear on platinum selling songs as writer/producer? NOPE! Does Rihanna, in lieu of stage-presence/showmanship, then resort to “crotch grabbery” and other “weapons of mass distraction”? YUP!
Rihanna isn’t “winning”; not by any stretch of the definition of the word. Rihanna has enjoyed the (outside-the-U.S.) World Stage all to herself. NOW Nicki Minaj has pushed her off the U.S. stage, and she’s NOW “coming for her in U.K./Europe”. In these, now 7-years, has Rihanna grown as an artist? Has she sharpened, augmented, or added-to her arsenal of “artistic weaponry” NOPE!!!
Rihanna is a Lying, Zero-Talent HACK! ..She’s a foaming-at-the-mouth GIMMICK! YOU’RE about to see just how easily, ‘No-Talent Gimmicks’ can be replaced when there’s nothing of any..”substance” that anchors them to our collective consciousness..
..Rihanna is now loosened and adrift in treacherous “Harauju infested” waters. She’s about to be “the face” of a $450-Million disaster-at-sea, and both her and “Battleship” will soon disappear into the dark, cold, murky, crushing depths.
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT.. “RELEASE THE KRAKEN..!!” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19jb4P8sYzw&feature=related)
I thought it wasn’t bad. Lol @ the essays, this is serious!
I give Rita an 8 out of 10, Bey has officially become 1 of those people that’s hard to cover. I know when someone sings any song by Beyonce (or one she’s singing lead on), it’ll leave me wanting more. I definitely prefer for ONLY B to sing CIL, DIL, SL, Me,Myself &I (come to think of it … a long list of her hits in her catalog, and Say My Name is one too). Rita does have talent though. This is clear!

Rihanna is gonna shut down Whitney’s record as the top grossing debut for movie from music star IN HISTORY….
Kinda how she overtook Whitney on the Hot100
@Truthteller re: 6:02 am —
SO SORRY: “Battleship” will have a “final get-to-theater cost” of $450-Million. So far, its budget is $250-Million WITHOUT marketing (P/A) costs. So even using that “incomplete $250-Million” cost, it’ll have to do $250-Million X 1.45 = $362.5-Million WW. It’s projected to do $125-Million from U.S. screens. So it’ll have to do $237.5-Million from foreign screens NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..
..Mind you, this is using not-yet-finalized numbers. So, realistically, “Battleship” will have a final get-to-theater cost of $450-Million. And realistically, it’ll have to do $450-Million X 1.45 = $652.5-Million WW, and of that $527.5-Million from foreign/overseas screens.
Long-story short: Rihanna will be the face of a $450-Million FAILURE..!! Say what you will about Beyonce, Gaga, Nicki Mina;, at the very least, their management teams have enough sense NOT to place them in said “harms way”: the face of $450-Million failure”!!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT….!!!
AMEN… I got more proof about BattleFLOP…
http://www.b**.co.uk/newsbeat/18189970
$250 Million was the initial money spent by Universal.
But After tax credits, Battleship cost Universal $209 Million net.
Get ur fact straight looser.
Don’t hate cus Rihanna’s debut movie is about to outgross Beyonce’s entire history of flop movie COMBINED.
LOL!
Battleship is doing so well, Universal is already talking about a trilogy.
Hasbro Inc has been so happy with the result, they have announced that thanks to Battlship success they are now planning to turn into movie other board games such as: CandyLand & Ouija with Sony.
Studios also in discussion with Ridley Scott to turn Monopoly into a movie.
Entertainment Weekly announced that all those project were on hold until they see how battleship perform and thanks to its initial RECORD BREAKING reception… they are all about to be greenlighted & fast tracked.
U MAD?
Where did you get the fact “Rihanna’s debut movie is about to outgross Beyonce’s entire history of flop movie COMBINED.”???? Complete bullsh*t… it’s battleFLOP according to B**!!!
http://www.b**.co.uk/newsbeat/18189970
KING beyonSLAY!
Lmao I’m rolling about how everybody is getting hype. Watch Rihanna only have one line in the movie.
Let me reiterate: “Battleship” will have to return, from overseas/foreign screen, $527.5-Million (that’s OVER 1/2 BILLION DOLLARS) NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..!! (it’ll have to return $787.5-Million to be a “success”. that’s OVER 3/4 BILLION DOLLARS)
Did anyone NOT “get that”: $527.5-Million NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..!!
(again..) Rihanna will be the face of a $450-million FAILURE..!!
X,Y,”and Z”
@Truthteller You do know that “Has-beenyonce” movies grossed more than 750K at the box office, right?
Album sales – not there yet – X
Sold out tour (haven’t surpassed B’s yet) – X
Perfume, (still catching up) – x
… and BTW, Whitney also has 11 #1’s (with one single that has stayed at #1 for 14weeks)
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
I agree with you! Most of Rihanna’s number 1’s are with features and not individually! I don’t know why they’re considered number 1 when she’s one quarter part of the song!!!
KING beyonSLAY!
I don’t even need to talk much with bitter flopyonce’s fans.
I’ll let Entertainment Weekly do the talking for me:
“And guess what? It’s already pulling down pretty huge averages where it’s opening in foreign markets…What does this mean? It means the North American box office isn’t going to matter for Battleship. Whatever money it makes here will be gravy, since it’s on pace to earn $300 million in foreign box office.”
STAY MAD BIOTCH!
I’m laughing at how people think that budget was so high because of Rihanna. The reason why they chose this b**** is because she can be easily be cheated out of money. Just ask Jay. And also there are so many big names in that movie including Liam Neeson. So i doubt anybody is really going to see this movie because of Rihanna.
Rihanna get back to music cuz this chick is shitting on you right now.
i like her voice just not on this song
I just read a review of the movie and look what they said.
” it steals so much from other, better movies that there’s no doubt Universal‘s legal team spent time considering possible action.
Everything from the script to the CGI are low quality, making this $200m tentpole feel like it was made for fifteen bucks and a pack of gum.”
“The plot tricks come straight from ID4 (including a “Welcome to Earth”-style line for Rihanna (who, no kidding, is one of the few actually trying hard to deliver a real performance)). By the time they copy Transformers, Terminator and Predator, it’s sad. When they copy Titanic and Space Cowboys, it’s downright depressing.”
By they way, by your own standard, every Beyonce movie has been a HUGE FLOP.
Including ur beloved Dreamgirl which had a total get-to-the-movie cost of 120Million but only grossed $150Million WW.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And I won’t even talk about Pink Panther, Cadillac Record & Fighting Temtation.
Anyway u spin it: Rihanna 1 movie >>>>>>>> Beyonce’s entire movie career combined.
LMAO!
receiving a ‘Rotten’ rating of 47% from Rotten Tomatoes
B**** Beyonce is a musicican not a actor.
I never said she was the best actor. But since your trying to rub RIhann’s 1 line in our faces let me help you let you know. Rihanna’s movie is just like her albums. You impressed when you look at it but when you actually start playing the music it’s too late and you can’t get a refund. I read reviews before i watch movies and i guess from the way people are feeling about this I’m not going to see it.
But tell me this.
Will Rihanna every perform on the Oscars stage. Beyonce did 3 times in one night.
Will Rihanna every be even nominated. You can’t be a filler to be nominated. You have to be a lead or supporting role. Don’t try to say Rihanna is the reason for the success of the movie. Just because her is somewhere there in small print doesn’t mean she made the sales. Just look at her she can’t even get a #1 album.
Boo,
Battleships projected to sell OVER $300 MIllion worth of tickets in forreign markets only.
Add to that the US sales, the DVDs sales, the game merchandising boost and it ll be close to a Billion $$$
U FAIL IN EVERY WAY!
Even critics who clearly were rooting for this movie to fail and still bash it admits that it is a blockbuster.
If u wanna see a flop about about to check Dreamgirls who bare made back the 120Million it cost to produce &market???
Or how about Cadillac record which cost 20Million overall and made only $8 million?
That is is a glitter-lever flop.
LMAO!
Rihanna >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“PROJECTED” but it never actually happened!! HAHAHAHHAAHHAHHA
Anyway back to the real reason why i was here. Congratulations Rita for the beautiful rendition of Say My Name. It’s obvious who are inspired to be but unfortunately Jay wants to turn you into that h** nag FLOPANNNA. If you want to actually be remember or actually win Grammys or actually want to have a #1 album. You better start begging Beyonce for help.
I wonder how much Rihanna got out of all that money. Maybe 15 grand after they talked circles around her. B**** is a complete and total moron especially when it comes to money.
You keep talking about projections wasn’t Rihnann’s albums projected to go #1 six times. But yet she has failed to get that #1 spot 6 times.
Keep looking at projections and see where you end up.
@therealhonesttruth
1) Rihanna was ALREADY invited to perform at the Oscar boo. She pulled out in 2009 after Chris Brown went psycho on her.
2) The critics hated Bodyguard too.. And u can see how it worked out for them. LMAO!
1) Many, Rihanna albums were #1 WW boo.
2) Also, the movie gross projection are based on the numbers that have come out.
3) Rihanna makes more than Beyonce was making at her age and she can buy u and ur entire family into slavery sho hush!
4) LMAO @ delusional Beyonce fans calling Rated R a flop when it sold more than 4closure.
LMAO
Rated R has been around for like 3 years? Obviously it would have a slight advantage! But wait until 3 years years and it will be a 4success 😉 🙂 😛
@TRUTHTELLER re: April 14, 2012 at 6:22 am —
“$250 Million was the initial money spent by Universal.
But After tax credits, Battleship cost Universal $209 Million net.”
From Deadline: “Especially when the studio is claiming it came in at $209 million — and everyone else is saying $250+M.”
This is ONE time you’ll NOT slither, nor spin your way outta this! You, ‘Camp-Fenty’ will OWN this $450-Million FAILURE..!!
Here, read: http://www.deadline.com/2012/03/toldja-universal-rounds-up-promotional-partners-for-battleship/ <–An additional $50-Million was added to the promotion budget of/for "Battleship".
"Battleship tax credits"..?! "Tax Credits" aren't "U.S. Wide", only piecemeal: state-by-state. 'Battleship' producers may have gotten a "break" in Hawaii, Louisiana, but The "overhead" for a film CANNOT be fully "written off"!! That "not-yet-final-$250-Million" cost had ALREADY had taken into consideration any minuscule tax credits. And also, most of the film's money will be made OUTSIDE the U.S. ..And if you hadn't noticed, the "World Economy" is slowing. China just released their GDP numbers: they're slowing – big time! Europe also-too is slowing; maybe a recession. The "only game" left is the U.S. This "only-game-left-in-town" status will be reflected in the U.S. dollar. Essentially, when Universal Pictures tries to bring those funds BACK into U.S. currency, they'll then have to pay MORE to exchange those monies BACK into U.S. dollars. THESE currency exchange swings weigh heavily on a corporation's balance sheet and bottom line!
The "final get-to-theater costs" for "Battleship" will be $450-Million. For a film to be considered NOT a "failure", it'll have to return 1.45 X "known costs". For "Battleship", NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE, it'll have to return: 1.45 X $450-Million = $650-Million WW. As it's projected to do $125-Million U.S., that leaves $527.5-Million from foreign screens..
.."Battleship" has done, so far, $25-Million from overseas screens. RARELY, if ever, does a film continue to do AS WELL during its "opening week". This means that after the hype has died, so does the interest/buzz to see the film. Essentially, the "climb only gets steeper" for "Battleship" – AND RIHANNA..!!
Rihanna will be the face of a $450-Million disaster-at-sea..!!
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!
I personally actually think the movie is gonna end up closer to $400 Million overseas. Maybe $375Million or so.
$25Million already grossed BEFORE THE WEEKEND from just 26markets.
And the money from Japan is not even in yet as it opened there yesterday.
And the really huge overseas Markets like China & Russia won t open till next week.
Those numbers are far too optimistic, jog on, They’ll never happen!
@TRUTHTELLER re; April 14, 2012 at 6:48 am —
“Boo, Battleships projected to sell OVER $300 MIllion worth of tickets in forreign markets only.”
1.) If you could PLEASE furnish cogent, pertinent, film-industry links/references..
2.) I’m not your “boo”.

X,Y,”and Z”
shes really talented. much better than katy perry, rihanna etc. also, rihanna stole her look! rita had this style since late 2010/early 2011, and rihanna copied her.
Rihanna’s acting is getting SLAUGHTERED in reviews! ROFL! She can’t act, she can’t dance, she can’t sing, she can’t get a #1 album. I would guess that she’s probably a hell of a d*** sucker, but something tells me she’s probably just as WACK at that too. 😆
Yasss truthteller!
I said $209 Millon production cost.
I didn t talk about promotion cost as it ain t reported yet.
And again, by ANY STANDART, it is shapping to be a huge succes.
i LOVE HOW U EDITED OUT what deadline had to say about the movie box office success:
DEADLINE:
“Universal may have the last laugh after all now that its Battleship is opening overseas. For months the studio has fought media bad buzz about how risky this expensive military vs alien actioner from Peter Berg has been. But it may pay off. My sources project the film should steam past $300M foreign box office based on stats.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:
““And guess what? It’s already pulling down pretty huge averages where it’s opening in foreign markets…What does this mean? It means the North American box office isn’t going to matter for Battleship. Whatever money it makes here will be gravy, since it’s on pace to earn $300 million in foreign box office.””

Ahhh.. Remember, lest we forget: we DID see Matt Kemp picking-up groupies outside that L.A. club..?! I mean, can we really blame Matt? Look, if you’re NOT getting it at home, then you’re bound to get it elsewhere, yes?

@Unmutedone
Actually, Rihanna’s acting is getting pretty darn good reviews. Even the reviewer who don t like the movie because it s a “dumb summer blocbuster” are saying that Rihanna was actually a good surprise. SO YOU FAIL!
U must have her confused with Beyonce HORRIBLE reviews from: Fighting Temptation and down right pitiful reviews fron The Pink Panther.
@XYZ
I have linked many article from professional papers calling the box office run of this movie a success so far.
U have yet to show a single article saying that the numbers Battleship is pulling are underwelming or anything like that.
Ur bitter rants don’t count as professional opinion btw.

““And guess what? It’s already pulling down pretty huge averages where it’s opening in foreign markets…What does this mean? It means the North American box office isn’t going to matter for Battleship. Whatever money it makes here will be gravy, since it’s on pace to earn $300 million in foreign box office.””
In other words, it’s expected to not do well in America. LOL
Just like in the world of music, America is the #1 movie market as well. F*** what it did in Cambodia and Abu Dhabi. If the movie flops in the US it’s a flop period.

dAMN, HATERS ARE ABOUT TO KILL THEMSELVES.
Is TGJ on the payroll for this chick or something? I miss the old days when people actually had to release hot music before they were famous, now ppl are just building “buzz” on blogs months before their first CD even drops.
And Rita has a LONG way to go before even being mentioned in the same sentence as Rihanna. I mean, *really*
People think this girl copied rihanna’s style but, you are wrong. This is rita’s style rihanna is lately sporting a few months ago. She knew rita was coming to the music scene, and unlike her can really sing well then decided to first not only dye her hair blonde but also wear red lipstick, and changed her whole style to a 90’s look WHICH rita did first. This is rita ora a london girl!!!
Beyonce’s rottentomatoe scores:
Obsessed 20%
Pink Panther 22%
Figthting Temptation 42%
LMAO!
The nerve her psycho bitter b****** fans have.
“…Rihanna didn’t add anything to this movie, the movie was okay but if Rihanna’s role in this movie was totally abolished, it wouldn’t have made no difference what so ever…”
LMAO!
LMAO @ADC143,
And yet, it’s gonna outgross ur fave’s ENTIRE MOVIE CAREER.
LMAO!
Rita can sing
Ya know Jay made her perform this song in purpose.
GO RWI-YA,Take your part of the illuminati cake
The “FINAL get-to-theater” costs for “Battleship” will be $450-Million. Initially the production cost was $200-Million. THEN $50-Million was added to the promotion cost. BUT, P/A costs aren’t yet added!!
..Prints and Advertising costs ARE EQUAL TO THE PRODUCTION COSTS. With “Battleship” having a $200-Million “production cost”, its “F-I-N-A-L get-to-theater” cost (with the now revealed $50-Million) is $450-Million..!!!
*sigh..* Now, that said, here’s how a film’s “FAILURE” or “PROFITABILITY” metrics are derived:
From Deadline.com Friday September 16, 2011 @ 5:07pm EDT (http://www.deadline.com/2011/09/kagan-the-help-is-the-most-profitable-film-from-a-month-with-few-successes/) “Kagan” an “Industry Insider” ‘Financial Analysis Firm/Service’:
“SNL Kagan, the financial analysis firm makes its projections based on a ratio that compares a film’s estimated revenue from all sources to the costs that Kagan can calculate — which don’t include distribution fees, overhead, interest, profit participation, and residuals. A movie with expected revenue 1.75 times higher than the known costs is projected to be a winner, while those with a ratio of at least 1.4 are on the bubble.”
FOR ‘BATTLESHIP’ NOT TO FAIL IT MUST RETURN: $450 X 1.4 = $630-Million WW. It’s already projected to do $45-M first week, and $125-M in-total. This leaves $505-Million that MUST be realized from foreign/overseas screens for it NOT to be a failure! BTW, $505-Million is OVER 1/2 BILLION DOLLARS..!!
So, if Nikki Finke (Deadline’s editor) predicts $300-Million, then that’s WAAAYY short of the “Battleship” “$505-Million-failure threshold”. And this is NOT including distribution fees, overhead, interest, profit participation, nor residuals..!!
Oh no, Camp-Fenty, you’ll NOT now wriggle, slither, nor hiss your way outta this..!! BTW, so did you notice Rihanna’s face on the “Battleship” poster on the side of that London doubledecker bus..?? I did..
..Just thought I’d mention that to you. Like I said, the face of a $450-Million failure..!!
X,Y,”and Z” — gone for breakfast — OUT..!!
“i went to watch this movie thinking I will get the same feeling as watching the first Transformers but i was bitterly disappointed. At the beginning of the film you might think that you are watching a chick-flick or a ROM-com. The acting was so terrible.
The special effects are damn good, but it was too cheesy. There is no real flow between the scenes and a lot to leave you confuse. All in all it was a show-off of the US Navy ships. the aliens themselves are quite confusing, they have no apparent reasons on why they are so bent on destroying the world. Rihanna’s acting debut does not show much promise either; to sum it all it was a complete and utter waste of my time.”
LMAO!
“Saw it. Waste of money. Wish I could get my 18 Euros back. It’s so bad, that after 15 minutes, I was rolling my eyes. The trailer deceived me and I wish I hadn’t gone to see it.
The acting is bad. Well, the only good ones were Liam Neeson, Tadanobu Asano and Alexander Skarsgård. But that’s about it. The rest is amateur acting. Not to mention Rihanna, who had crappy lines and I heard way too much about her being the best part of the movie. No.
(this could be a spoiler) The best part were the Aliens and after the first “battle”, I really just wanted the Aliens to win.
I feel like the people on here that are praising the movie, were paid to do so.
Just… wait for the DVD if you’re really excited to see it. But if you want to be fed crap, then… please… go and waste your money. ”
LMAO!
Lmao Beyonce at Rihanna age was shitting on them.
You can’t even say that Beyonce had 2 movies around that time plus a #1 album that outdid Talk that Talk. Beyonce was on her second solo album at age 24 while Rihanna is now on 6 and she 24. Her music doesn’t last.
Foreign market >>>>>>>>> US
2012 grossed $600 Million overseas >>>>>> 166 Million US
And every huge blockbuster grosses 2 to 3 times more overseas than state side.
Beyonce fans are so dumb, that s why Beyonce stays flopping.
Even her movies are local:
Dreamgirls: 100 Million US vs 50Million overseas
Obsessed: 68 Million US vs 5Million overseas
Cadillac Record: 8 Million US vs 0 overseas (OUCH)
Fighting Temptation 30Million US vs 2 Million oveseas
LMAO!
@therealhonesttruth
Maybe it s because Rihanna had enough talent to get a solo deal on her own as a teenage girl without have to use a group as a crutch to fame.
LMAO!
How sad it is that Beyonce had 2 movies by 24 and yet Rihanna’s 1 movie is gonna outgross BOTH COMBINED.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LOLLLL, knew this would bring out all the RIHTARDS from under their rocks….cmon rhitardanna just sounds like Luther, my billy goat…..she also will never be great because she is the laziest person around…has not improved since she came out from the barn. Get over it.
The loud Tour numbers are such a curiosity.Her team pushed those because she did the Last goat Tour,we never had the number.So they combined both to make her have a successfull tour.
Anyway,RWI-YA is shitting,she is the new princess of the Roc and ya fave is Teairra² 😆 😆
RIHANNA Is swimming with the big fist and now shes a world wide and
featured in her first movie and it is slowly KILLLLLLLLLLIN, Beyonce, Bee hive
and a few loose as a goose “Old Faggggggs” who or bitter because her much
SUCCESS has pulled her right up on top. Beyone is the one who’s the maddest
because she is realizing that her strong hold on the Entertainment Industry isn’t what her popping her ass intended to achieve. She is so Bitter that she have sent a “FAMILY PHOTO OF MAMMA GRISSELY” and family to try and beat Rihanna SUCCESS back down to size because right now Rihanna has Orbited and is on her way around the moon for a triple time and beyonce, her b*** pads, lacefronts and even “BIC” all know who the “HBIC” AND IT’S killllllllin them, i mean they or pawing and clawing and hey we love all of the FREE PROMOTIONS FOR RIHANNA, HER CAREER AND IT REALLY DOES HELP RIHANNA’S NAVY OUT.
PS
AND IF JAY AND BEYONCE OR LUCKY AND I HOPE THAT THEY OR THEY WILL HELP TO BURY THIS NEW CHICKS CAREER WITH ALL OF THE BENT UP
MADNESS OR RIHANNA OUT SHINNING “MAMA GRISSELY” WHICJH WE ALL KNOW IS A NO, NO,,,BEE HIVE AND LAMES KEEP RIGHT ON “EATING YO HEARTS OUT” AND KEEP PUTTING THEM SCREWS TO THIS RITA CHICKS CAREER IN EACH CLICK OF THEM CLAWS AND PAWS ON THT KEEY BOARD
YEEEEEEEPIE KAAAAAY YOOOOOOU BEE HIVE & MAMMA GRISSELY KEEP TELLING YOUR FAMILY PICTURE WHAT YOU WANT US TO HEAR, WE WILL MAKE FOR SURE THAT THE “HBIC” GET THE “MEMOS” BECAUSE HER VERY LIVELYHOOD AND CAREER COULD DEPEND ON THINGS THEY SAY ON “TGJ” BLOG IT HELP THE “HBIC” KEEP PLANNING HER WORK AND WORKING HER PLAN, AND OF COURSE I AM WONDERING JUST WHO IN THE PASS WHO WAS MANGED BY JAY WAS BIGGER THAN “THE CARIBBEAN” TAKE YO TIME I WILL WAIT.
RIHANNA IS KILLLLLLLLLIN THE GAME AND IT IS KEEPING CLAWS AND PAWS RED WITH ENVY AND SEARCHING THE GLOBE TO TRY AND FIND ANY ONE, EVEN A DOG OR CAT WHO COULD TRY AND MAKE RIHANNA COME OUT OF THAT SADDLE, JUST REMEMBER THAT IF RIHANNA COMES OUT SOME ONE ELSE BOOTY IS COMING OUT ALSO AND PERHAPS ITS WAAAAAAAY PASS TIME FOR “MAMMA GRISSELY ” TO RAISE “BIC” AND LEAVE THIS UP THE THE NEW CHIC KS ON THE BLOCK,,,SET HER OLD ASS ALL THE WAY DOWN AND RULE FROM HER MANY CASTLES,,,,,
Before it opens wide in the U.S., “Battleship” already scores a huge success overseas. Despite the fact that some reviewers have been pessimistic about the mega-budgeted film, the Peter Berg-directed apocalyptic movie debuts on the first one spot in almost every country where it opened on Wednesday, April 11.
Judging from the trend, the sci-fi movie should steam past $300 million foreign box office especially since it will expand to a total 26 territories (40 countries), including China and Russia, on Friday.
Previously, some observers were afraid that “Battleship”, which was made with a large budget of $209 million, would become a disappointing ” ‘John Carter’ in gunmetal grey.” With the proven result overseas, Universal is confident that the bad prediction would not come true. An exec from the studio told Deadline that the film is “off to a very good start.”
Rihanna has officially become to Universal what Will Smith was to Sony in the late 90s.
She can give them a movie hit and a smash album once a year by herself.
LOL
Just remember that the NAVY love all of the free promotions that the “HBIC”
is getting for free just because shes Killlllin the game and U R Bitter as hell!!!
Rihanna often imitated but never duplicated, when the good lord made her he
broke the mold, Hate on Hate on, it reads good on you. And keep putting them nails in Rita’s COFFIN BEFORE SHE GET STARTED GOOD.
@LAX
What’s up champ?
U know those bitter Beyonce’s fans are mad Rihanna’s debut movie is about to outgross Beyonce’s entire movie career combined
LMAO!
They keep Talking That Talk but they can’t walk that walk.
LMAO!
Battleship had to gross 300 Million
Then they said 400Million
Now they are talking 600 Million
LMAO!
When all is said and done: box office, dvds , games merchandising.. the movie would have grossed closed to $1 billion… and it makes them sick to their floppin stomach.
Rihanna is about to make the record book as the most successful singer turned actress IN HISTORY.
Beyonce has been tryna break in as an actress for 10 years and it has been an EPIC FAILURE. To this day she’s still typecast as an actress or singer in her movies: Pink Panther, dreamgirls, cadillac record, fighting temptation, a star is born…..
Rihanna didn’t even have to try. Hollywood basically came BEGGING at her door… and here she is already an ACTION MOVIE STAR.
Playing the kind of bad ass chicks roles that only the likes of Angelina Jolie & Hally Berry usually gets.
LMAOOOOO
@TRUTHTELLER,, TRAIN A CHILD THE WAY IN WHICH THEY SHOULD GROW.
KEEP SCHOOOOOOOOOING & RULLLLING THIS BOARD,,,OFC…..
@ POP…..PREACH AND THE VIDEO SAID IT ALL, “TAKE A BOW”
RIHANNA IS KILLLLLIN THE GAME AND THERE OR SO MANY WHO
OR “B*** HURT OVER IT. KEEP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY PICKED HER FOR THIS BLOCKBUSTER AND WORLD WIDE “BATTLESHIP FLICK” WHICH IS THE TALK AROUND THE UNIVERSE AND THERE NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT CLAW AND PAW THAT KEYBOARD, WHILE RIHANNA IS ON TO THE NEXT ONE. THIS MOVIE IS WAAAAAAY BIGGER THAN JAYZ AND HIS AND BEYONCE’S EMPIRE AND THIS GIVE RIHANNA OTHER AVENUES TO BRANCH OUT INTO ,,HMMMMMM DON’T YOU WISH IT HAD BEEN BEYONCE CASTED IN THIS OTHER THAN RIHANNA. JUST THIN THIS GAME BOARD IS ALREADY A WINNER YOU IDIOTS WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY,,,YOU MAD HUH, TELL THE NAVY WHY YOU SO MAD THOUGH??????? DON’T BE MAD LET RIHANNA MAKE SOME OF THAT PAPER SINCE YOU TRY TO PAINT HER ALL THE TIME AS A LOOSER WEELLLLLL GUEST WHAT SHES WINNNNNIN NOW AND ITS NOT ONLY IN MUSIC YOU SICKO’S.

————————
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? 😆 😆
The real question is why are you mad at Beyonce not Rita nor Jay? Goat is not signed to Bey’s label.
you are obssessed with this b**** because every move this goat makes is to replace Beyonce.But when someone else is marketed to replace her by her CREATOR.You mad at Bey?? 😆 😆 poor lil tink tink
You said Goatssie doesnt need to see Blue,she doesnt care..yet when she went to see her,you were all happy because goat werent out of the “Family”.Bipolar piece of s***..go away.We know you mad …we know.
your new motto is: #YOUMADSTAYMAD 😆
@ADC143
I’m here laughing at your comment about Battleship. Everything you said was the truth. They hyped up this movie and paid people to say how great this movie is. I did better than you after 45 minutes I was out of there. I then told my friends if you want to throw your money away go see Battleship. I have nothing against Rihanna and the other cast members but the acting was awful. The plot was questionable.
With all this promo you people think that Rihanna was the only one in the movie. There were other no good actors in there also. They used Rihanna to do most of the promo because she is a superstar. Superstar and playing a roll in a movie is two different things. Rihanna this Rihanna that was awful just as the rest of the cast. So I wish her fans stop it because it’s not just her movie.
WELL DAMN! B**ch you better “sang”! LOL 🙂
Hell, you keep talking about Rihanna but BEYONCE BETTER WATCH HER BACK! She is coming for her crown not Rihanna’s! Why does she sound better then any of the live DC perfromance’s of this song I have seen throughout the years…0_O? #RealTalk&ILikeBey
LAX, do you have a life? Every time I come here, I see a floodgate of super long, run-on, grammatically stupid posts from you that –oddly– transition into all capitol letters as your remedial rant escalates. The f*** is that about?! Seriously, do you do anything aside from TGJ? No, better yet, did you pass the fourth grade, because judging by how you write, I can’t tell. Oh and, sweetheart, don’t use a word if you can’t spell it. Loser only has one ‘o.’ You remind me of a tin can with two marbles rolling around in it.
I shouldn’t be surprised; no one ever accused a Rihanna fan of being smart. It actually makes sense that an untalented singer would attract literally dumb fans.
@TRUTHTELLER
Oh.The top grossing debut for movie from music star IN HISTORY. Beyonce holds that record Whitney is in 2ND PLACE. A** 300 million Worldwide
Beyonce Movies Gross over 780 million worldwide boo check facts Nice Try tho
TRUTHTELLER
And that’s why Beyonce is one the FEW BLACK women to have more than 2 Golden Gobel Nods. And that’s why Beyonce is working with OSCAR WINNING LEGEND Mr. Clinet Eastwood. Something Rihanna could ONLY dream of

@TRUTHTELLER
Rihanna isn’t even the STAR of the MOVIE lmao!!!!!! LET’S NOT!!!! LMAOOOOO!!!! SHE DOESN’T HAVE A BIG ROLE AT ALL LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
TRUTHTELLER
Rihanna was NEVER asked to perform at the OCASRS in NO ONES 2009 . Beyonce performed that year AGAIN making. PERFORMING THERE MORE than any ARTIST in History.
Not only that Beyonce was apart of The Oscars VOTING BOARD this pass YEAR LMAO!
Beyonce NET Worth is over 550 million Rihanna’s hasn’t crossed the 100 million mark hell haven’t even crossed the 90 million mark
@INK
…yep. Clint Eastwood and Leonardo DiCaprio, to be precise. And unlike Rihanna, Beyonce is actually going to get **star** billing for her movie. She’s not just another cast member.
LOL! Please. Don’t act like Rihanna is carrying this film; from all accounts, she’s actually one of the weakest links in the cast and her ass is getting handed to her in the user reviews at IMDB.
Rihanna has already long proved that she can’t sing for s*** and now she’s proving that her acting is as bad. Seriously, if I was as bad as her at the things I do, I would just quit.
TRUTHTELLER
Angelina Jolie & Hally Berry are THE STAR’S in their MOVIES
Rihanna isn’t the star , lets just say she’s just there lmao! LMAOOOO!
Not Only that Beyonce was the HIGHEST PAID BLACK ACTRESS from 2006-2009
And I think she still is I haven’t to check my facts lmao!!!!!
Battleship might do great over a week or two but as far as making a profit? I dont see it,anyway after avoiding all this Rita V Rihanna feud I decided to click on and listen to her sing and shes pretty good and Rihanna’s good too from what I have heard but this chick with the right promo she will be ok I mean Jay z probably is looking for a fresh start Rihanna’s career is going south and Jay is smart he will try to approach the way he develops this rita chick different(try to get her a US number 1 album).
Rita didn’t sound good. It was basic..s*** her voice is basic. Which makes it all the sadder that being basic vocally is still better than Rihanna.
You stupid Rihanna stans are probably the dumbest.
To support someone who has such a s***** attitude along with the facts that she can’t sing,dance and she cant act either. The beehive can be asses but it doesn’t make them stupid..well not all of em anyway lol
I don’t care how many essays you b****** write. How many made up ass numbers you add and made up achievements you give her. Had this been a era were talent was a requirement Rihanna wouldn’t be here.
The only reason she is is because of her putting out to Jay-Z and the other executives at def jam.
Also to Sam please stop linking this girl to the Billy goat gruff….she and Beyonce deserve more than that….#NoShade #RealT
I swear these teens and tweens know nothing about music or talent.
@VANDREA,,,,Kiss rihanna’s Persuasion and quietly ,,,STFU
Battleship is already a winner before the movie was even made because of what the game board has done already. And take into consideration that here lately who among the other’s who can do everything better than Rih can to let you all tell it, have rose up to the occasion. If the movie don’t make another dime it is still a winner and is in the winner circle and it is causing your HATING, JEALOUS HEARTS TO BREAK , AND IT IS SO TELLING IN THE DESPERATION THAT IF CLAWWWWWD ON YOUR KEYBOARDS. YOUR ACTIONS OR SPEAKING LOUDER THAN WORDS THAT RIHANNA THE “HBIC” IS THE ONE WHO HAVE GOTTEN AWAY,,,ADD UP ALL OF BEYONCE MOVIES TOGETHER AND THEY DON’T EQUAL TO THIS BLOCKBUSTER, KEEP EATING YO HEARTS OUT ALL YOU LITTL D**K WORN OUT FAGGGGGGOTS LEAD BY “XYZ” WHOS CLAWWWWWS HAS BEEN PAWINNNNG AWAY EVER SINCE THEY CASTED RIHANNA IN THIS BLOCKBUSTER,,,AND IT WILL MAKE OFER 500 MILLION WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE AND TO YOU LITTLE D**KS WHO WENT AND WAS DISSAPOINTED,,,JUST KNOCK YOURSELVES OUT AND ,,,STFU,,,WE HAVE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE YOU TEST TUBE BABIES WHO IS AS PISSY AS EVER,,,LMAO…..AND STOP ADDRESSING ME DAM AS LONG AS “TGJ” LET ME I WILL BE PECKING NOW CLAWWWWWIN AWAY AT YO HATIN ASSES AND I KNOW THAT ALL THE EXCITEMENT IS DRIVING JAY Z MAMMA GRISSELESLY ASS ALL THE WAY NUTT AND SHE LOVES FOR THE BEE HIVE TO BASH LADY GAGA, BRITNEY, KERI, CHRIS AND OTHER WHO OR DOING BETTER THAN HR ASS AND KELLYS AND NOW THEY OR RUINNING RITA’S CAREER BEFORE IT GET STARTED ,,,HIDE AND WATCH.
PS YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER, BUT YOU CAN’T MAKE HIM DRINK, FOLKS AND KNOW THAT RIHANNA IS AS DRIVEN, HUMBLE, FOCUS AND DEDICATED TO HER CAREE AS MAMMA GRISSELY IF NOT MORRRRRRE,

Her voice isn’t very distinct. You can’t listen to her and say OH THAT’S RITA ORA! I suggest she find her signature sound….
@TRUTHTELLER re: April 14, 2012 at 8:22 am —
“Battleship had to gross 300 Million. Then they said 400Million. Now they are talking 600 Million”
Who said that…?? Do tell!! Care to post a link or pertinent film-industry link?
I think you’d post a link to deadline.com re: “guesstimated $300-M overseas”.. Well, Nikki Finke can predict all she wants, but till I observe HER hands in/on the pockets of overseas discretionary-spending consumers, I-myself will reserve judgement. “Overseas” movie-goers/discretionary-spending consumers are VERY hard to predict!! Don’t believe me? Well, why not go ask the almost-40-something-year-old Kelly Rowland, she’ll tell you: weekly-exposure, as a sitting X-Factor judge/mentor of up-and-coming talent, with said, weekly-exposure to 12-Million willing-n-able U.K.European consumers, and she only moved less-than 150-K “Here I am” units!
Listen: deny, deflect, or inevitably languish self-defeat all you want: the “final, get-to-theater” cost for “Battleship” will be $450-Million..!! And, in order for Battleship “NOT-TO-FAIL”, it has to then return 1.45 X $450-M = $630-Million WW. It’s projected to do $125-M from U.S. ..But, let me ask you this, since there is “no place safe” from these blogs, what makes you think word-of-mouth won’t already damage, if not irreparably condemn, “Battleship”, then sharply dulling the “buzz” that now surrounds it – which’ll then put downwards-pressure on U.S. first week/final tally..??
If, as all indications now, show that “Battleship is a Transformers rip-off”, then why even bother..?! So the actor from the “John Carter” flop also co-stars in “Battleship”..?! ..WONDERFUL.. Just you wait till U.S. movie-goers puts a face to that loser-riddle: $125-Million U.S. domestic?! HA!! ..I think NOT..!!
Do you think Universal Pictures will allow Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard, or Brooklyn Decker to be identified with this “$450-Million disaster-at-sea”? HELL NO!! Rihanna was/is fully expendable! The producers, and those who handle Universal PR will neatly fold this “$450-Million disaster” and tie it around the Rihanna’s neck! There’s a reason why SHE was allowed to be on those billboards, and in this film. Now, do you get it? No? Well, simply put: she’s a throwaway; easily disposable, and even easier replaceable. Go talk to Jay-Z and Rita Ora..!!
X,Y,”and Z”
@the navy is trash,,,yep we or and that my deery is why you and your possey and the bee hive is so fukkkkin pissey!!!
@Haters and another thing screw the critics and the haters because they don’t buy tickets .

Will Rihanna every perform on the Oscars stage. Beyonce did 3 times in one night.
___________________________________________________
Yes but wasn’t she nominated for an Oscar at the time? I think Battleship is Rihanna’s 1st film. I don’t care either way but why would she unless she scored a soundtrack or a song?
Rihanna says “I hate that i love all of you, so”.
Rihanna sucks lmao
She’s like the girl who cried wolf…..

DAMN..i been sleeping on her…i thought she was another no singing girl that wants to pretend she is relevant that just so happen looks like beyonce… I apologize plzzz forgive me and im now a fan. Can really sing so im looking forward to more from her. She should do a song with Cee lo…why? cause i think it would be dope and not b some crazy katey perry song and more r&b with some meaning behind it UGH i just kno this girl gonna go all left field and i not care for her songs but agree that shes a beast n singing
Read the comments muppet. That’s if you have the ability.
Not a single person is pressed and each thread is being turned into off topic discussions solely in Navy interest. Samantha’s failed manipulation continues to fail, this thread could basically be renamed
“Rihanna’s Battleship #WINNING”
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII such simpletons.
DAMN! Rita already getting 100+ comments on her post! Cassiihanna can barely get 20 unless she is doing something rude or controversal…smh. We are here for you Rita! The Beyhive has to support each other cause i know you a member, yep, You, Adele and Gaga we are an alliance and the lessor girls cant deal! Hopefully you will be doing a collab with our Queen Beyonce for your album. : )

Rihanna is NOT the STAR of the movie. Her Name comes up last that’s if it even comes up lmaoooooooooooooooo The story isn’t even about her lmaooo! They could’ve got anyone to play that LIL Role Rihanna is playing lmaooo!
Beyonce was had a LEAD role in all her films was an EXECUTIVE PRODUCER on a few PARKWOOD her Co. owns half of the rights to some of her films lmaoooooooo! Poor Ritard Navy lmaoooooo
@THE NAVY , NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN BOUT, THESE BEES HAS BEEN
ROASTED, SMOKED AND TOASTED ON THEIR OWN TURRRRRRRRRRRRF!!
NOW TELL ME WHAT I SAID, BUT BEE HIVE TELL US WHY YOU REALLY MAD THOUGH.
@TRUTHTELLER ,,,,DROPPED IN AND CLEANED “XYZ’S AND THE BEE HIVE’S CLOCKS FOR THEM,,,,,GOTTTTTTTA LUV BEING IN RIH RIH’S NAVY. AND WITH RIHANNA RIDING AND GUNNING FOR THEM ALIENS SHE COULD EAISLY THINK THAT THE BEE HIVE SHIP THE “ABYSS’ WHICH KEEP TRYING TO SURFACE,
WITH RIHANNA ON THEM GUNS IN BATTLESHIP SHE COULD JUST AS EASY THINK THAT THE “BEE HIVE SHIP THE AYBSS” IS ONE OF THE ALIEN SHIPS AND JUST AS EAISLY TAKE THAT SUCKER OUT OF IT’S MISERY.
THE NAME PARKWOOD SURE DOES SOUND LIKE THE NAME FOR A NUTT HOUSE TO ME!
Aww Rita is following Rihanna’s footsteps. Didn’t Rih do a DC tribute back in 05? It’s a shame jay is copying and pasting Rih career on this chick.
@Ink Oh RLY? She was the executive producer? Then that clown ass fossil flop failure should’ve had the common sense to edit herself out of every single scene she was in for the sake of the films. LOOOOOL!!!!

Obessed Metacritc 25/100
“This movie sucked! I had to give it to Idris for his part. When you can predict a movie from the beginning, that movie is done. It did not even had a twist to the plot. This movie should have gone straight to DVD. It wouldn’t had been no. 1 if there were some real movie coming out that weekend. It seems like they know when to play something out. Beyonce stop making films and sing b/c you are not even good.”
“This this film was an abomination.”
“I have never see such poor acting in life and the actors get tired. I will give this film overwhelming negative reviews.”
“This movie is an insult to real actors and a slap in the face for fans of acting”
“Beyonce can not act her way out of a paper bag to save her life!!!!! Weak plot with bad acting. Atleast, Idirs and Ali tried to resurrect the movie but, to no avail. Ali rocked in the movie; good job. However, Beyonce dragged the movie through the gutters. I don’t recall seeing any A-list actors at the premier!!!!! I should have taken that as a sign to stay home. ”
————————————————————————————————————
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!
They could’ve got anyone to play Rihanna’s role? Oh RLY? Then how were they gonna make all this money then bum? Global phenomenons have a habit of selling blockbusters and she was the focal point of ALL the promo overseas, in every single poster. I will continue LIVE while you continue to SEETHE about it.
THE POST SAYS:
-RITA
-BEYONCE AND DESTINY S CHILD
The hell the Titanic is doing here?? lmao
Listen,Nicki is the new hook girl for the rappers

GOAT IS THE TITANIC,RITA IS THE ICEBERG….100 years later 😆 😆
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @HONEY_DIP11 I FOLLOW BACK!
She sounded great. She can sing, and she’s cute. Rooting for her–Rihanna is irrelevant to this post–she belongs on TMZ or mediatakeout. No one cares about her music, only her personal life and outfits.
@WHUT
Rihanna DOESN’T have a BIG role FOOL! This movies isn’t based around her SHE’S NOT THE STAR OF THE FILM, She doesn’t have the LEAD role in the FILM at ALL! LMAOOOOO.
FYI the money made offf of Beyonce Films that she EX. P. goes back in her pocket. Rihanna got a pay check in 2010 for this money and guess what she still didn’t bring in more money than Beyonce , Rihanna has 2 tours , Movie while Beyonce didn’t do anything in 2010 just laying back while the money was rolling seating on her yacht
LAX
It’s a NAME THAT GETS THAT PAPER! and OWN RIGHTS something Rihanna doesn’t have lmaoooooooooooooo
Rihanna is the Battleship, What Ashanti was to Resident Evil: Extinction
They DON’T MATTER lmaooooooooooooooooooo
Even in the Official Trailer all Rihanna said in the 3 secs they showed her was
” BOOM” LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! GFOH LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, Some Major Role there lmaoooooooooooooooooo!
wow, rita is very talented!
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII look at this flailing s*** muppet name INK .
You must be DEHYDRATED like a b**** with all this foam already leaked now from your snout.
DEATH@ your pleb ass not grasping the fact that she doesn’t EVEN NEED a lead role to eat your fave’s now multiple movie attempts displaying what is easily the worst ever acting seen in the ENTIRE GALAXY. LOOOOL!!!!!
Poor clown also trying to hoof-toe around the fact that the movie is set to outgross combined all the pure utter dross your joke of an actress centenarian criminal fave has punished the public with till now.
Also not surprising she tries to own the rights to everything bum, the b**** is a serial thief let’s not forget. Doesn’t she also try to own the rights to everyone and their dogs writing credits /stage performances/ video concepts/ dance moves/ musical arrangements etc etc?
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII@ you further reinforcing her criminal status! The H.I.V are such pure out and out muppet b******!! LOLOLOL!!!
Rita can really sing. In other news reading all the negitive reviews about Battleship I won’t even buy the bootleg here in US. If someone loan me their $5.00 bootleg movie maybe i’ll watch it. If the movie seems to be no good then i’ll press stop
Jay-Z hurry up and get this woman out there.
Sam please! This girl is wack! Her music is generic singing is generic! At least rih’s Bajan accent is what makes her voice semi-unique! No one cares about this chick! NEXT
It funny to see all the Rihanna stans come out for some damn comments. But you never see them at any music store buying her album. I went to go buy Beyonce album and each time i went there were no albums left. I had to go to that store 4 times because they were always sold out. But when i went to go buy the Take Care albums. The shelves were still full of Talk that Talk albums.
You guys only defend Rihanna behind a computer screen. I wonder how many of you even purchased Talk that Talk.
The Navy is dumb as hell, because Battleship is PROJECTED to $300m overseas doesnt means its going to do that number, AVENGERS (a real anticipated movie) is coming soon. BTW its need to make at $500m for it to be considered a PROFITABLE movie – Lets see how is going to do in the US first.
Beyonce see more $$$$ from her movies anyway.
BUT the topic here is RITA’s flawless voice. This girl have everything needed to make it big, she just need the right music and she will be at the top.
The rihanna stans are so insecure because they know Rita is more talented it’s hilarious lol.
Also i don’t always agree with Jay-Z motives but i gotta admit he is a smart ninja lol
“AIM. READY. FIRE”. The “Battleship” “word-of-mouth-torpedoing” has begun:
Look on the front page of “Huffingtonpost”, entertainment section: a picture of Rihanna in Battleship (can’t be good for word-of-mouth for its U.S. open; $125-Milliion..?! HA!!), THIS is what’s written in big BOLD lettering:
“‘Cabin In The Woods,’ ‘Three Stooges,’ ‘The Client List’ And More: The Week In Ouch” <–Here's the link, have a look: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/14/cabin-in-the-woods-reviews-bad-joss-whedon_n_1424818.html?ref=entertainment#s869458&title=Battleship_Is_A
..And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, just below that headline, they actually used a still-picture of Rihanna in Battleship (dressed in Navy fatigues). ..As I said, "Rihanna is absolutely expendable, and easily replaceable"! They'll find some way to tie the "Battleship" disaster-at-sea around Rihanna's neck, and THEN, 'point her out' for ALL to THEN see – AND NOT FORGET..!!!
Long-story short: Rihanna, her "Rihanna Navy", and "Battleship" are all too-closely bunched together — no daylight between 'em to tell the difference! They're all soon "sleep with the fishes"..
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!
@Whut – you poor fool! & Beyonce obsessed deranged hater. You love talking about Beyonce more than you like rihanna. STFU.
I wonder if this site looks at the comments because if not, they need to start doing so. You guys ALWAYS diss Rihanna and NEVER have anything good to say about her but yet you post an article about her damn near everyday, it’s getting freaking annoying and VERY unprofessional. If you don’t like an artist as bad you don’t like Rihanna then stop putting up all thses posts about her! You even put her in posts that don’t even concern her and STILL manage to dog her out. It’s getting very ridiculous. On the other hand Rita does have a very nice voice and I think she’ll go a long way. She’s in her own lane and doing her own thing while Rihanna, who is another great artist, is doing her own thing as well. All the best to both.
Beyonce’s Austin Powers Goldmember = Worldwide: $296,655,431
And yes Beyonce did play a big role in the movie unlike Rihanna who probably has 3 lines.
Maybe she doesn’t even talk. It could just be her mouth words and a voice over. lmao
Its OVER FOR THE GOATISSE LMMFAO. @Vendura YESSSS! U sure did SLAY that Navy Retarted F***** @ LAX LMFAO The Navyturds might as well jump ship because Riwhore the titantic is sinking fast. JayZ jumped first. Then Chris. Thats why Chris didnt take her back because he knew the Sluthanna career is just about over! Then Ashton was next. Rita its ur TIME! No S**** allowed. And Battleship will flop here n the States where it really matters, just like the rest of Rislut’s music career. Shes only known for those forgetable 11 #s. Minus Umbrella. Too bad THE QUEEN OF POP AND R&B has only put out 4 albums and Outsold Rihwhore on ALL FRONTS! Its worser n the US. THE QUEEN 4 ALBUMS = 12.3 MILLION! GOATISSE 6 ALBUMS = 7.2 MILLIONS FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

He is and he likes surrounding himself with dumb women 😆

I went to go buy Beyonce album and each time i went there were no albums left
————————————————————————————————————–
No albums left or shite not stocked?! KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
@Cramped SEEETHEEEEE. Poor thang steaming at a low-balled projection which more likely than not will increase and why is that? All because the promo team were smart enough to use a
YOUNG/ NOT OLD
GLOBAL/ NOT LOCAL
RELEVANT/ NOT DONE AND DUSTED non-criminal star to promote their film. *Claps* for good marketing.
Rita will be on top to join who tho? Right. Her fellow YOUNG already won label mate who both have years ahead of them in the game. Notice how Jay is continuing to PIMP his flop wife for this girl’s relevance with this song being rammed into’s Rita’s set-list? KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I’m willing to bet the next thing will be something like a collab like he did using her to market another one of his acts J Cole. Fossil-yonce is just such a straight up ignant muppet b**** so she’ll go along with it not realizing that ha own husband is using her to prop up Ora. Poor Fossil-yonce, USED and ABUSED with a career now in the dumps as Jay Z continues to build all these MUCH YOUNGER girls off her name.KIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
@CHARLIE re: April 14, 2012 at 1:04 pm —
“while Rihanna, who is another great artist” <–O~o *screeeeeech! Stands on brakes*
What part of Rihanna is a.."great artist"?? Is it the Rihanna who has tripped-up on her feet while walking across-stage? Is it the Rihanna who can neither write, nor produce music? Is it Rihanna's live-onstage "ear-drum hostility"? Is it Rihanna the studio gimmick?
..This "Rihanna-as-artist talk" fascinates and intrigues me! Maybe it's the "artist-genie Rihanna" who resides in her 'lady cave'. Maybe that "artist-labia-genie Rihanna" will grant her master just one wish: after these now long 7-years, and give her a #1 album.
POOR RIHANNA! POOR, POOR RIHANNA:
1.) Nicki Minaj now the "IT GIRL" upon the Pop-culture Landscape.
2.) Chris Brown, NOR Matt Kemp wants her, or to be seen publicly with her (as is the case with Matt Kemp).
3.) She'll soon be the face of a $450-Million disaster.
4.) Rita Ora, a talented artist, is now being showered with ALL the love and affection that was once hers – by, none-other-than HER LONG-TIME MENTOR: Jay-Z..
X,Y,"and Z"
Please don’t bring up Beyonce’s money knowing damn well your fav hasn’t even made the 75 million mark. Beyonce is worth 320 million. She’s not just a musician but a true business woman who’s earned her fortune in music, acting, clothing, fragrances, producing, and even real estate. She earned a cool 110 million from her last tour. Don’t EVER bring up Beyonce’s financial situation when speaking of your fav Rihanna because you will loose everytime. I didn’t even include the fact that her husband is worth 450 million. & on a side note, can we please quit the Battleship talk. Even if the movie flops, it won’t hurt Rihanna, she is not the STAR of the movie.
@LAMBCHOP re: April 14, 2012 at 1:37 pm —
“she is not the STAR of the movie”
That, very well may be the case, but it’s of little consequence: it’s HER face that’s now associated with, and will ALSO too be closely-tied to a “$450-Million failure”!!
For someone to have such a minor role, it seems peculiar that it IS Rihanna’s face which now grace the sides of ‘double-decker London Bus billboards’.
RELEASE THE KRAKEN..!!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!
The Navy is so mad at the moment, well you know is y’all 100 anniversary TITANICS.
@ASS WIPES, BEE HIVE AND EVEN “xyz” put the credit where it belongs and that is for Rihanna’s name and she not the star, shes doing a feature she is the “HBIC” Who have got the BEE HIVE AND BEYONCE’S ASSES SHAKKKKKKIN IN THEIR BOOTHS,,,,ROTF….LMAO,, I MEAN THESE ZOOMBIES IS WALKING THROUGH WALLS AND SHYT JUST LIKE THEM ZOMBIES WAS DOING ON “THRILLER” BECAUSE RIHANNA HAVE GOT THEIR ASSES ALL OF THEM BAGGGGGGED AND TAGGGGGGED AND THEY OR TRYING SO HARD WITH ALL THEY HAVE GOT TO MAKE ME AND NAVY AND OTHERS THINK THAT RITA IS GETTING GROOMED TO BE LIKE” THE ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD” NOW AIN’T THAT SOME COUNTRY
FRIED CHICKEN…..i eve read where some one said that this rita’s post is getting all of these hits just REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR CLAWS AND PAWS OR WHEN RIHANNA’S MOVIE HITS STATE SIDE, THANKS AHEAD OF TIME FOR ALL OF YO LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR THE “ONLY WOMAN IN THE WORLD”.
Battleship’ Builds $58M Foreign War Chest
UPDATE
Universal’s Battleship continues to screen strongly overseas with estimates from Day 2 and Day 3 bringing the 72-hour total to $58 million with all 26 international territories now open. Director Peter Berg’s military vs alien actioner opened to #1 in 24 of those new territories. Battleship opens next weekend in 24 more international territories including China (April 18) and Russia (April 19) — but not in the U.S./Canada until May 18th:
– The UK opened #1 on Friday with an estimated $1.3M (£770). That’s ahead of Thor but ahead of Wrath Of The Titans and John Carter. The total with previews is $3.7M (£2.3M).
– Spain opened #1 with an estimated $900k (€681k), better than Iron Man.
– Germany opened #1 on Thursday with $900K, which is the biggest opening for an English language film in Germany this year. It continued #1 on Friday with $1.2M, equal to Iron Man but not as big as Transformers.
– Japan opened #1 with an estimated $900k (LC 72M), higher than Thor‘s opening day.
– Thailand opened #1 with $470K, which is the biggest opening day of 2012 and Universal’s 2nd biggest opening day ever (behind only Fast Five).
– Malaysia opened #1 with $390K, which is Universal’s biggest opening day of all time.
– Korea had another strong day and Battleship remains #1 with a three-day total of $4.2M (LC 4.7M) — better than Iron Man and Thor.
At this rate, they’re sure to recoup the Craft Services cost in no time.
@lambchops,,,while beyonce might have that amount of money and that is great for her after all i understand that beyonce runs a “EMPIRE” and that is exactly what RIHANNA IS WORKING ON AND FOLKS LIKE YOU AND THE BEE HIVE OR GIVING HER THE AMMUNITION SHE NEED TO KEEP RUNNING THIS RACE.
@LMAO,,YEAH RIHANNA IS THE GIRL WHO CRIED WOLFE WHEN MADE IT TO THAT #7 SPOT ON THE BEST TOURS OF 2011.
@SKETCH, ANOTHER KATY PERRY WHAT EVER DO YOU MEAN? AFTER ALL KATY AND RIHANNA IS IN THE TOP 5 OF THE TOP EARNERS FOR 2011…tHERE OR MORE PEOPLE ON THAT FORBES TOP TEN LIST THAN
BEYONCE I COULD SEE BEYONCE’S ASS BEING ALL OF THAT BUT SHE IS #5 AND GAGA TOPS THE LIST AND THE TOP 5 ON THE FORBES LIST MEANS A HELL OF A LOT TO ME AND MILLIONS, FOR THE FACT THAT THAT DOES MORE THAN MEASURE THE POWER OF THE ARTIST IT ALSO SHOWS WHO MANY OF THE NEW “MOVERS AND SHAKERS OR YOU AIR HEADS. I KNOW THAT DO’T MEAN NOTHING BECAUSE BEYONCE MADE HER 35 MILLION SITTING ON HER ASS, YESSSSSS THE WORLD KNOW THAT AND THE WORLD ALSO KNOW THAT BRITNEY SPEARS MAGE OVER 62 MILLION SITTING ON HER ASS THE YEAR BEBORE SOOOOOO WHAT?????THAT IS WHAT RIHANNA’S EYES OR ON WHILE SHE IS BEING COMPARED TO EVERY TOM, D*** AND HARRY IN THE UNIVERSE AND STEADY TOLD THAT SHES NOT WORTHY TO BE WHARE SHE IS AND HAVE THE BANK ACCOUNT SHE HAS. NO SHE DON’T HAVE BEYONCES MONEY BUT THEN NEITHER DOES ANY OF THE OTHER ARTIST DEAD OR ALIVE AND THAT STILL DOES NOT STOP RIHANNA AND OTHERS LIKE KATY AND GAGA TO KEEP RIHANNA FROM KEEPING RIGHT ON PLUGGING AWAY WHILE SHES BASHED ON THESE BLOG SITES….. YOUR MEAN WORDS TYPED IN HASTE AND WITH THE RIGHT ENGLISH AND SENTENS=CE STRUCTURE ISN’T GOING TO KEEP RIHANNA AND OTHERS LIKE HER FROM GOING AFTER THEIR DREAMS IT DON’T MATTER HOW MANY OTHERS JAYZ SENDS OUT TO DETHRONE RIHANNA….
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII @ setting opening day records in some of those countries.
Can we say #WINNING?!!
Hurry up and milk Fossil-yonce’s dumb fans on your way to being ANOTHER chick to OVERTAKE her failed fossil ass RIta.
Make sure you cement it with getting Jay to set up a collab or some s*** so you can straight up snatch her fan’s coins on the way to surpassing her failed flop elderly status! KI KI KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.
Just hurry tho Rita gurl. We cant be the ONLY one’s on the management to ALWAYS #WIN like this!
* resumes dancing in Battleship WIN*

Why are we discussing battleship here?
The last time your fave was in a battle,she lost.
Now get the f*** outta here.
Blame your fave for stealing the h** style,she helped her big time.Hopefully Diddy capitalizes on that for Cassie promotion aswell.
58 millions in 26 countries
200 other millions left dumb f**** 😆
Just believe Hungers games reign wont let up
and averengers is coming
Nicki is landing to the UK and Ri-Ya,the new princess of the Roc got her chain yesterday ahahahah
R.IIIIIIIIIIIIII. P. To the Titanics
@Leech-a-fave-b**** “The last time your fave was in a battle,she lost.”
The interesting thing is even after she supposedly loss her face didn’t look like a Kat Deluna who’s cheeks gives the after of a rabid bee sting attack. Why are her cheeks that tho big real talk? Is she stuffing them with her flop ass CD’s that only SHE buys prepared to vomit them at unsuspecting bystanders in hopes that they’d take interest?
Poor thing,you can only come with personal insults
your game is whack
Why hate on RI-YA? she at least had the decency to warn your fave about JAY,THE CREATOR project.She is a sweetheart 😳
In 72 hours muppet, recording ahead of the projection path so far. KIIIIIIIIIIIIII #WIN MUCH?
That’s the thing we are competing against major movies and are STILL WINNING. U irate? Of course you are.
Rihanna just stays setting that example of what #WIN looks like to her fellow management mate Rita. She better be taking notes while simultaneously using Fossil-yonce’s weak irrelevant status for propping filth.
Come RIta JOIN US. YOU. CAN. DO IT. KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Where am I hating on Rita bum? Can you please point to it for me? I’ll wait
Good WHUT.you ,unless those dumb mtfs in the titanic understood that supporting RI-YA is the answer.Teach those em !!!
Whime Blue is pulling in that NEW NEW 😆
Goo Rita! God job gworll!!!!
And as for Rihanna and Battleship…..she’s not the leading actress..therefore she won’t have the most lines….and like @WHUT said……Rihanna saying “BOOM” was more believable than any line Beyonce ever delievered!..so STOP hating!..Another thing is that Rihanna could’ve had the lead role in other films(she’s been offered other movie roles b4) but she feels,as she should, that since she is new to acting that she doesn’t want to disrespect the craft….she wants to continue to take small roles and become better….<—– That is what Mrs. Thief should've done instead of thinking she's the s*** at everything…that's why Nia Long said what she said: http://b*****.com/131100/quote-of-the-day-nia-long-to-beyonce-stay-in-your-lane/
AND Rihanna slayed Beyonce's acting career w/o even having to say anything see: Russian Roulette video,Man Down video, WFL video,her walking a red carper…etc…
Beyonce CAN NOT F****** ACT!!!!!
Death at the Titantic trying to promote Cassihanna’s new movie Tic-Tac-Toe on a Rita Ora post…shame, shame, shame!
In greater detail: http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2009/07/17/nia_long_disses_beyonce_s_acting_skills_1
Queen Rihanna is on the right path and doing the right thing by taking small roles..
Who said anything about supporting clown?
She’s gonna get more than enough of the H.I.V clowns coins on her way to surpassing your fave and possibly joining a winner in Rihanna on top.
Methuselah-yonce fans in their attempts to displace a winner who will continue to win regardless (see Battleship) don’t seem to recognize that right now it is their fave who’s receiving the s***** end of the stick given than Rita is more in a Fossil-yonce mold.
She’s Blonde, bleached out with a soulful yet non-distinctive voice. Sounds familiar? KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.
Its gonna be all kinds of hilarious to watch the H.IV shoot themselves in the snout all while continuing to ignore all the signs that Jay once more is using his wife to prop up one of his acts. Again I’d place money on him setting up a collab between the two. Smart guy seeing that he manages his wife, who all ends up is a colossal failure and AGING. Makes sense to secure some success other than the obvious single successful act he manages (see Battleship)
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Queen Rihanna ain goin nowhere….Princess Rita will just be joining these guys : https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/s320x320/532994_403395943013291_171675966185291_1484929_477129221_n.jpg
…that’s if she doesn’t go through an epic FLOP like 4 was…..hopefully she can get a successful album(one that sells, not just #1 and tank) and successful singles…or at least one of the two!
Oh! and SAM!?! How was Battleship? It’s out in the UK and I just know your Queen ASS has been to see it more than once! You can’t go a day w/o The Queen!
BOOM SHAKA is right lol….Cassihanna can only accept small roles because thats all that is handed to her…talking about ” Me want plaaay Wheat-ney, becuz me tink me a good aktrez since a me can fayke orgazum” lmfao Now body is going to give her no big staring roles…After Chinese Checkers bombs, she might not get another role all together…. Her career is waning, her image is tarnished, and her work ethic is horrible. Aint nobody time for that!
Why is this gurl so pressed over me when she asked me to leave her alone so she can wallow in her hate, and now she is writing this long pointless paragraphs with the “word” Ki drawn out and written everyother sentence like that s*** is a standard for Titantic validation….
WHUT,we already now he uses her
she doesnt care 😆
Ya hear,she doesnt give a FORK 😆
If you wasnt around,I am telling you JAY THE CREATOR dont care about his wife,do you think a give a f*** about this “small island girl” she was???
ahahahah my fave is doing great.She had her part of people stealing her music like goatssie steal people identities.She is in the other side,but she is talented..will remain.
@Kat Deluna
Um did Jay-z p*** on you after a sexual act back in the day or something? You seem a little pressed…Jay dont care about his wife but he marries her, gets a tatoo symbolizing their love, supports her when ever he can, and so on and so fourth? Pressed much babe?
LMAO
But Leech-a-fave b**** that’s the point bum!
He doesn’t have to care about Rihanna given that she is so effortlessly continues to win see Battleship). It’s his wife twho he is ALSO managing that cant seem to stop flopping is looking to continue to flop all ends up. Plus she is AGING rapidly which is never a good thing for female popstars in this business.
Hence, Rita aka the insurance policy aka insuring that he finally has MORE THAN ONE person under management who can stream in success. Of course its not guaranteed bum, but for damn sure he’s gonna use every last juice of his flop wife to ensure she has a shot.
Collab coming next mark my words. KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Jayz is Beyonce’s husband #thatisall
When it comes to music, endorsements, or any other project, he’s not involve. He’s not her manager and she’s not signed to his record label. She has her own office in NYC just like Jayz and her own company (Parkwood). She’s an INDEPENDENT woman!
R****** stans coming across as threatened as hell. Posting stats on a movie, Like it is going to add anything to Rihtards credibility or even Financially. Taking Cheap shots at Beyonce like its going to change the fact she’s another level compared to R******.
Why is the Navy to pressed, just know RIta is coming for that head.
@Whut – Jayz isnt managing Beyonce, B*tch get your facts straight. Beyonce isnt signed to Roc nation either, so why do you keep including Beyonce in the Rita Vs Rihanna debate. You are trying to taking the heat off Rihanna, but Rita isnt going anywhere soon so you are fighting a losing battle.
I guess when all else fails for the Rihtards they either: attack Beyonce and post numbers or both…
Beyonce is not on Roc nation@Whut THE C** CATCHER this is a battle you want win so stop with the BS because Goatassie is fading and Rita coming for that head, Beyonce has nothing to do with the topic at hand so why do you cont to bring her into this.(BESIDE GETTING MONEY FROM THE GOATSSIE AND RITA)
Spew your hate all you want still not going to change the fact RITA IS COMING FOR THAT SPOT, WE KNOW THE TITANICS ARE BITTER AND UPSET and it shows
I find it ironic, just in feb when bday cake came out you were done with Rihanna and @pop was done after being called a c*** or something horrible from rihanna you GOATASSIE, SINKING BATTLESHIPS OR TITANICS ARE VERY FLIP-FLOP JUST LIKE DUDE WHO CLAIMS TO BE TOP BUT LIKE RIDING D*** ON THE LOW LOL HA HA HA HA HA HA CHOW BITTER B****** ….RIHANNA IS MAN DOWN
Listen,@CRAMPED says it all.She is not signed to roc so he doesnt give 2 f****.
@WHUT you are trying to shade bey about her flops but she doesnt care.Try something else cause she’ll rather see Rita get 200 #1 singles than care about her own.Give it up 😆 😆
@KINGPHOENIX
He pissed on many people cereals trust,I am not one of them because I am a lil smarter than the dumb f**** he loves surrounding himself.Matthew knowles was smarter than a mtf but Jay failed him.I am happy to not be around this man trust m eon that.
I dont hate him,especially now that I am not into Bey anymore.I am trying to prevent her but she never listen to her fans.
@CRAMPED…you know how the navy do, they talking this battleship s*** cause Rita is getting the attention Rihanna once was getting, Deep down they know if you take the team of people that made her who she is today, YOU HAVE NOTHING AT ALL, now thats the KE KE
Y’all keep saying that Rih fans are pressed….Beyonce fans are the main ones rooting for Rita hoping she knocks Rih out that game…Why is that?…Cuz Rihanna is the top black b**** now and y’all h*** mad cuz Beyonce’s 4 and everything from it’s promo photos,singles,tv appearances was a FLOP….GET THE F*** OVER IT!!!!!!
@ Teacher – So you are assuming that I like Rita because I’m hoping she knock Rihanna off? lol Why would she knock Rihanna off? I mean Rihanna is suppose to be a well-established superstar – Right?
Or maybe we are just as bad as each, seeing you doesnt want Rita to blow up because she might knock off rihanna. hypocrite!
@Kat Deluna Fan – She has never been signed to Roc. So what? I dont want her to be anyway, Beyonce and Jayz has never really mix business into their relationship and I think its a good thing.
Beyonce has an amazing deal with Columbia(SONY) that Roc might not be able to offer. Roc Nation is more suitable for a new artists.
Beyonce doesnt need Jayz to take care of her business, she can do that on her own, Mathew taught her well!
@TEACHER
😆 No they are supporting rita cause Beyonce is supporting rita.
😆 You are not supporting rita because Jay is supporting rita.

@CRAMPED…you know how the navy do, they talking this battleship s*** cause Rita is getting the attention Rihanna once was getting, Deep down they know if you take the team of people that made her who she is today, YOU HAVE NOTHING AT ALL, now thats the KE KE
—————————————
Exactly. Rita is new, doesnt even have an album yet, her music is not hot as it suppose to be yet, so I dont know why are they press. Rihanna>>>>>>>Rita, so why are they so threatened?

Y’all keep saying that Rih fans are pressed….Beyonce fans are the main ones rooting for Rita hoping she knocks Rih out that game…Why is that?…Cuz Rihanna is the top black b**** now and y’all h*** mad cuz Beyonce’s 4 and everything from it’s promo photos,singles,tv appearances was a FLOP….GET THE F*** OVER IT!!!!!!
————————————————————————————————————
Pretty Much,Basically, Tbh.
You see @Teacher they were banking on the Navy to follow suit with their behavior of envy and pressedassedness in regards to (Rihanna) with Rita.
They weren’t at all tho banking on us connecting the dots and proceeding to paint the not so obvious picture for them of their flop fossil fave’s continued undercut-ment by Jay-Z in this whole process. Now that we are painting it for them and they are having to do something they hate…think…and its making them become as expected furious. KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The irony is the fact that we are not even close to pressed has them pressed ass all hell which is bringing on for me so much joy personally.
Go Rita! Come join a winner/ not a menopausal AGING Crypt keeping loser flop fossil bum who hasn’t seen a top 10 in over 3 years LOLOLOLOL!!!! That is not the example Rita, Jay made that muchclear, you are to follow in the footsteps of WINNING. You can do it gurl! KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

@ Teacher – So you are assuming that I like Rita because I’m hoping she knock Rihanna off? lol Why would she knock Rihanna off? I mean Rihanna is suppose to be a well-established superstar – Right?
Or maybe we are just as bad as each, seeing you doesnt want Rita to blow up because she might knock off rihanna. hypocrite!
_____________________________
Well..if u scroll back up to my very first comment I gave Rita her props..she’s good! I actually like her and I”ve had ‘R.I.P’ on repeat for a min now! Most of these Beyonce fans are only supporting Rita bcuz this whole replacement thing came up a while back and they don’t like the fact that Rihanna is doing great at the moment and Beyonce is not. Rihanna is a well established superstar and even if Rita blows up it won’t affect Rih bcuz they are totally different…It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other if she gets big…it I like her music I’ll listen to it..and yes I am assuming that u want Rita to blow up in hopes she’ll knock Rih off..but I”m here to tell you that if she gets big…Rihanna will still be Rihanna no matter who likes it….

No they are supporting rita cause Beyonce is supporting rita.
You are not supporting rita because Jay is supporting rita.

I don’t even know y I am addressing some1 as irrelevant as you…but you know for a fact that they are only supporting her bcuz they want her to ‘replace’ Rihanna…..which aint gon happen! And who said I’m not supporting Rita…I LOVE R.I.P! I could care less who JayZ is supporting…..when was the last time that Jay went to do a radio interview w/ Rihanna………Exactly…because she is big enough to not need him…Rita is just starting out, so he’s gonna be there w/ her just like he was w/ Rih at the beginning of her career…..Rihanna does NOT need babysitting…..and stop worrying about who I’m supporting and go support that FLOP fave of yours….
And another thing…Rihanna is a part of the ROC Nation Fam…if Rita Ora blows up..then that will be another huge artist for them…the bigger ROC becomes..the better for Rihanna!
Dead at the better for rihanna..the better for Blue
Then Blah blah blah
you sound pressed ➡
The f*** Kat has to do with this,you seem really pressed. 😆
@CRAMPED
If they dont mix business with relationship why is she using her name to promote Jay’s business?? I told Chris Brown: “Bey dont say we didnt told you so”
Blue isn’t the one trying to be a legend in the industry tho now is she? KI KI KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Sorry bum, Fossil-yonce stays losing in this. Case in point Fossil-yonce being dragged to a newbies eventsto use her name for said newbie sexposure. Fossil-yonces having to applaud HER songs being sung better than she sung them at the same very event. But who am I telling this to YOU already seem to….

@ Kat
I agree with you with the fact that she is using Beyonce name but i don’t think Beyonce is blind to it, afterall she has been with Jay-Z for like 11 years now so she must know his ways better than anybody else.
Anyway i always felt like Beyonce “simpleton” image is just that an image so she doesn’t look bad when her people use cutthroat business ways and it obvisously worked.
Also by promoting Jay-Z business Beyonce is also putting money in her own pockets since they are married don’t forget that.
The f*** Kat has to do with this,you seem really pressed.

@NAVY_INFO re: April 14, 2012 at 2:52 pm —
“Battleship” MUST do well overseas! It was supposed to do well overseas, given all the promotion it was/is. Now, once the word-of-mouth and reviews of just how bad a “Transformers rip-off” it is, THEN the “72-hr/First Weekend/$58-Million” totals will sharply decline!
(again..) “Battleship” had cost $200-Million to produce. It JUST recently had $50-Million added to its promotion budget. That final “promotion budget” is YET to be determined, as so obviously is the “final, get-to-theater” costs. Movies have a ‘P/A cost’ that is AT LEAST EQUAL TO THEIR PRODUCTION COST..!! The final cost to bring “Battleship” to the theaters will be $450-Million. To THEN be considered NOT-A-FAILURE, ‘B’ship’ must return OVER 1/2 BILLION DOLLARS: $652.5-Million – to be exact!
..Here’s what you may NOW expect from those overseas numbers ‘deadline’ had quoted: they’ll take a sharp decline in the coming days, weeks, months from that initial first weekend of “72-hr/$58-Million”! Can YOU tell me of a film that didn’t slow AFTER the first weekend..?! And given all the “badmouthing” ‘B’ship’ is now getting, I seriously doubt it’ll still have the buzz to return half, what it had already, for the coming next weekends.
..That said, here’s what you neglected to mention, and what deadline had ALSO said, regarding ‘B’ship’s’ U.S. returns – bad reviews and “Transformers rip-off-badmouthing” not withstanding:
“For months the studio has fought media bad buzz about how risky this expensive pic has been. Especially when the studio is claiming it came in at $209M — and everyone else is saying $250+M. And there’s still the possibility that, in the United States at least, it could become a disappointing ”John Carter in gunmetal grey”.”
Initially, ‘B’ship’ was projected to do (U.S.) $45-M first weekend and $125-M total. Do you NOW really think, given all the “bad word-of-mouth reviewing” it has gotten that it’ll STILL do as well..?? The Huffingtonpost JUST did a review, with Rihanna’s face used to support the caption:
“‘Cabin In The Woods,’ ‘Three Stooges,’ ‘The Client List’ And More: The Week In Ouch” Here’s the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/14/cabin-in-the-woods-reviews-bad-joss-whedon_n_1424818.html?ref=entertainment#s869458&title=Battleship_Is_A”
(again..) Look at the BIG picture: in order for “Battleship” NOT to be a failure, it has to return $652.5-Million.. ($652.5 – $125 = $527.5-Million). So now, just ($527.5-Million – $58-M) $469.5-Million to go for the coming next almost-sure-to-decline-in-returns days, weekends…

—————————————-
Great.They are married cool
But when was the last time Jay did that for her? Dont worry I’ll wait.
Why does she have to put money in her pocket via Jay’s ventures and not her own??
Why does Jay need her name if he so much richer and supposely is the reason why Bey got that “Street credibility” they clinge to?
Was Jay there when Beyonce became Bey to have the right to use her name?
If Jay was doing things for Beyonce’s family I will understand but nope.Melanie fiona won 2 grammys before Solange,Kayne west got a fashion show in Paris before Tina Knowles and Rihanna got the Armani’s deal after solange .
Beyonce used to be really nepotist about her family but now Jay projected her nepotism into his business that’s why he called Roc ‘la familia’.I really thought her “simpleton image” was just an image but it aint.Best believe.
There is something Toxic about this man like “X,Y & Z& say about rihanna.

SMH I never said her career started with Bonnie and Clide so please don’t put words in my mouth.
The fact is that Jay-Z was on Beyonce breakthrough singles AS A SOLO ARTIST whether you like it or not a lot of people who are familiar with Beyonce music aren’t familiar with destiny child’s music.
And yes you seem to be if not hating at least a little bit too upset about a man that you don’t know personally.
Btw i’m actually neither a fan of jay-z nor beyonce.
@HOLLA
FYI let’s not act like Beyonce didn’t promote IASF with her marriage.
I clearly remembered that she didn’t want to discuss her wedding until she started promoting her album.
*Typo, i meant @Kat
If you aint a bey stan then dont talk s***.
The old fan in me is somehow frustrated to see how she is getting the blame.She helped rih more than Rita but her fans thank her with hate EVERYDAY on blogs.Today,Jay decided to “replace” rih but she is be blamed again.She is not the one replacing rihanna,Jay-z is.Why are people blaming her once again?
I am sure Rita fans will hate on her and forget everything once she gets +5 #1 singles.
I just realized that not only he uses “her name”, he also uses her as a shield against public judgement.
If she likes it,I love it 😉 😆
The Beyonce fans are here for Rita because Beyonce is backing her, but why are the Rihanna stans here…..WE ALL KNOW WHY YALL ARE HERE, CAUSE YOU KNOW RITA HAS WHAT IT TAKE TO KNOCK RIHANNA OUT THE BOX.
I feel bad for this girl, i mean Jay-Z wants a Superstar but then again she has to kiss Beyonce ass, meaning, she always gonna be behind Beyonce, never on her level and that’s exactly what Beyonce wants.

Beyonce stans can support whoever they want. Most of Beyonce stans Love Adele and Gaga the 2 other baddest singers/artists/performers in the game apart from Beyonce so whats your point? Stay hating on Rita because she’s Jayz main priority.
@Truthteller, ‘Teacher’ —

It doesn’t matter how well battleship does, Rihanna is just one of the many cast members. I could understand if she had a leading role, or was even a supporting actress…. lmfaooo
But once again Rihanna ‘s fan are quick to talk ish. Yall might wanna wait until the final numbers are in, and until you’ve actually seen the movie…
On topic: Rita did good.
When you go to see “Battleship,” don’t expect anyone to say the phrase, “Hey, you sunk my battleship!” You can, however, expect someone to say, “Let’s see if we can buy the world another day!” Yeah, “Battleship” is one of those movies, and according to Empire magazine, it’s a total miss.
this is from the huffington post boo.
“HuffPost Entertainment has rounded up the week’s snarkiest reviews just for your enjoyment in this week’s installment of our “Week In Ouch” series.”
“This week, critics from Empire to The New York Times and HitFix all had something nasty to say about the latest movies, music and TV shows.”

Yes, it most certainly is, but it seems "reading comprehension" comes at a premium..!!
If you'd READ AND COMPREHENDED my (4/14/9:03 pm) comment you would have saw where I went WELL out of my way to highlight the fact that RIHANNA'S IMAGE, dressed in Navy uniform, was used, AND "OUCH" was printed above it. Here it is again, as it was on April 13, 11:16 pm — http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/14/cabin-in-the-woods-reviews-bad-joss-whedon_n_1424818.html?ref=entertainment#s869635&title=Dont_Watch_The
..Also, If your bias had cornered you into any uncertainty, then all you had to do was to refer to my just prior comment on April 14, 2012 at 5:52 pm:
"The Huffingtonpost JUST did a review, with Rihanna’s face used to support the caption:
“‘Cabin In The Woods,’ ‘Three Stooges,’ ‘The Client List’ And More: The Week In Ouch” Here’s the link: huffingtonpost(dotcom)/2012/04/14/cabin-in-the-woods-reviews-bad-joss-whedon_n_1424818.html?ref=entertainment#s869458&title=Battleship_Is_A
(back to the Huffingtonpost 4-13/11:16 pm article) Here is what was captioned below "'Battleship' Is A Miss": "Battleship is an event movie so lunkheaded — both in concept and execution — that it's hard not to suspect director Peter Berg of playing a prank."
So yes, I absolutely agree, "RIF", but we shouldn't allow our shortsightedness, 'agenda-driven bias', nor need to "dumb-down" and belittle to ITSELF highlight our 'desperately lacking' in the basic utensils of life: "reading COM-PRE-HEN-SION"..!!
..Better luck next time ; – 9 (wink)
(Back to the topic at hand..) "Battleship" MUST do well overseas. It's overseas opening weekend is $58-Million. But given the "final get-to-theater" cost of $450-Million all it "NOW" has to return, in order for it NOT to be a failure is 450 x 1.40 = $650-Million, and of that, $125-M is projected from U.S. domestic. So (650-125 = 505) and (505-58) $447-Million MUST now be returned from overseas screens, AND at least $125-Million from U.S. domestic in order for "Battleship" NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..!! That's a lot of money! That said, I'm now even more adamant in my original stance: "Rihanna will be THE FACE of a $450-Million disaster-at-sea!!"
Peter Berg: !!RIHANNA, YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP..!!

LMAO at 650m, ur figure keep rising, soon it will be 950 billion it needs recoup. Why also US 125m projection valid to subtract from your bogus 650m but you ignore 300m projection and not subtract that?

PLZ PROOF READ NEXT TIME. THAT’S ALL CHOW
@NAVY_INFO re: April 15, 2012 at 1:14 pm —
1.) “LMAO at 650m, ur figure keep rising”
I’ve always maintained that “$600-Million-plus-‘threshold-of-failure” for “Battleship”. If you’d bothered to READ my post on April 14, 2012 at 7:46 am, you’d saw that I used an actual INDUSTRY link to well-respected industry blog that itself used an well-known statistical/accounting firm often consulted by the film industry.
..Here again is a cut-and-paste for said April 14, 2012, 7:46 am comment, complete with aforementioned link, which’ll explain the OVER “$600-Million fail/not-fail threshold”:
“From Deadline.com Friday September 16, 2011 @ 5:07pm EDT (http://www.deadline.com/2011/09/kagan-the-help-is-the-most-profitable-film-from-a-month-with-few-successes/) “Kagan” an “Industry Insider” ‘Financial Analysis Firm/Service’:
“SNL Kagan, the financial analysis firm makes its projections based on a ratio that compares a film’s estimated revenue from all sources to the costs that Kagan can calculate — which don’t include distribution fees, overhead, interest, profit participation, and residuals. A movie with expected revenue 1.75 times higher than the known costs is projected to be a winner, while those with a ratio of at least 1.4 are on the bubble.”
2.) “Why also US 125m projection valid to subtract from your bogus 650m but you ignore 300m projection and not subtract that?”
As I’ve just proved, in pains-taken detail, that $600-Million (plus) isn’t “bogus” if you’d bothered to read what was post before you made fool and nuisance of yourself: 1.4 x “know costs” ($450-Million) = $630-Million that “B’ship” has to return NOT to then be a FAILURE..!! Why I had referenced that “U.S. $125-Million” was to highlight the fact that “B’ship” is now getting bad reviews and that it’s snowballing into a rolling buzzsaw which is heading towards “B’ship’s” 1-month-from-now-soon-to-come U.S. opening…
..Better still, here are my exact words, which I’d post on April 15, 2012 at 5:00 am:
“Battleship” MUST do well overseas. It’s overseas opening weekend is $58-Million. But given the “final get-to-theater” cost of $450-Million all it “NOW” has to return, in order for it NOT to be a failure is 450 x 1.40 = $650-Million, and of that, $125-M is projected from U.S. domestic. So (650-125 = 505) and (505-58) $447-Million MUST now be returned from overseas screens, AND at least $125-Million from U.S. domestic in order for “Battleship” NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..!!
..Yet-better still, let’s use all the “current projections”:
U.S. domestic: $125-Million; from total overseas: $300-Million = $425-Million. But the “final get-to-theater” costs is $450-Million..!! And, as deadline’s referencing of industry standard – Kagan SNL stated: 1.4 X known costs = borderline/on-the-bubble failure. And, 1.75 X known costs = success. The final get-to-theater costs for “Battleship” will be $450-Million. 1.4 X $450-M (know/final cost) = $630-Million. So that projected return of $425-Million not only doesn’t even cover the “final get-to-theater” cost, but it falls-far short of the aforementioned “fail threshold” of $630-Million.
And those “projections” are, at the very least, “OPTIMISTIC” as they now don’t include the said “gathering storm of criticism and bad-mouthing” that “B’ship” is just now beginning to weather. I suspect that when time for the U.S. premier, that “$125-M U.S. total return”, will then be seen as a hopeful wind that could’ve saved “B’ship” from ‘hull-crushing Kraken-infested’ doldrums.
X,Y,”and Z” — “..this year Halloween fell on a weekend, me and ghetto boys go trick-a-treatn’..”
I really followed what H post was talking about and read what you wrote and you are correct. I also believe that Rihanna is used. Damn when you have no knowledge of the business and think you are doing something profitable. damn again. her face is used and she did not even have a lead role. That movie’s budget really is huge and it really has to bring in a lot of money to not consider a failure.
The navy is fooled by the 300 million but they need to read, and I doubt they can comprehend properly.
@TRUTHTELLER WOW! SO PROUD OF THIS BATTLESHIP S***!?

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave
it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
