Crazy In Love: Rihanna Covers ‘Rolling Stone’

Published: Wednesday 30th Jan 2013 by Sam

Crazy In Love? Sounds familiar. However, that’s how Rolling Stone describe their March star Rihanna.

The tabloid model, who is reportedly (re)dating Chris Brown, plays up to her rebellious gimmick in the stunning shot – which is the latest promotional stop for her seventh studio album ‘Unapologetic’.

And while gorgeous defines the snap above, the same cannot be said for the rest of the shoot, which serves up all sorts of classless. See what we mean below…

Sigh.

    Cute cover, but the whole sexed up bad girl thing has gotten tired. She’s just one dimensional now, nothing new.

      • Nika January 30, 2013

        POW!!!! Say it AGAIN!!! Madonna whole career was “sexed up” and ICON she is no matter who disagrees.

      • Don’t_Start_No_Shit January 30, 2013

        She’s not my ICON!!.. The same will go for Rihanna!!!

  2. JOHNVIDAL January 30, 2013

    Is she a s*** or what? Seriously. The level of mediocrity the industry and the public have accepted these last years is unbearable. So easy to be a superstar nowadays with noone feeling the pressure of doing great things and maintaining a certain level of greatness cos… nobody cares or ask for it. So sad. I wish industry could revive and these models dissapear

    • FOLLOW ME @gdboyratedloud January 30, 2013

      but its ok when your fav does it right???

      Sit the f*** down somewhere!!!

      • JOHNVIDAL January 30, 2013

        Which fave of mine depends on showing her body every week of her career? You tried though

      • Lax January 30, 2013

        John, Grape Juice,,,
        Being a trendsetter is not an easy task. However, Rihanna seems to pull it off effortlessly time after time. Whether she is hitting the red carpet or out shopping, Rihanna always puts her best stilletto forward. She is one of pop’s biggest style chameleons and has changed her look so many times it’s hard to keep up.

    • ALAN January 30, 2013

  4. ChissyHouston’s Wig January 30, 2013

    I so over Rihanna paying for magazine covers. If see has a lil brain left that her weed addiction didn’t destroy she will leave Chris dumbass alone before she lose the little career she has left. I swear them some dumb fuckers.. Her, Chris, Kareche, and Rihanna ‘s messy ass friend Melissa who seems more mad about Chris f****** other b****** than Rihanna..

    • : : . W A T E R S P O R T S January 30, 2013

    • cake like lady gaga January 30, 2013

    This Chile is still making ? Enough is Enough, it’s to much of her. By the end of the year she will be visiting Chris Brown in prison , giving him head while the guards aren’t looking.. While creating fake YouTube views, buying more covers, and releasing more flops.

    • Sweet Life January 30, 2013

      More like, giving heads to Methuselah-yoncé and her homeboys 50 Cent and Akon?

  19. Naa January 30, 2013

    Oink oink.

    • truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 30, 2013

  20. Pop Royalty January 30, 2013

    from where can i start ?

    anyway , i will pass the whole thing ….. 🙄

    and except for the Ugggly 2nd pic , she looks just like CIARA in all of them , like in the “basic instinct” era to be specific.

    and what’s up with her arms ? you can clearly see her arm’s bones popping up in the main pic gaga-born-this-way-single-cover Style 🙄

    what a hot mess!

    • boopboop January 30, 2013

      its not like she posing for lane bryant or some “plus size” catalog. is rih supposed to look ilke she spends her life stuffing her face at mcdonalds?

    • wrinkle flop ora, January 30, 2013

      Come, as if rihanan wants to be fat like beyonce.

  21. King beyonce January 30, 2013

    Crazy in love Lol!! Beyonce’s iconic song clone

    • Likica January 30, 2013

      Umbrella >> Beyonce’s career
      All Beyonce’s singles are local, she has never had a real worldwide single monster. Her best wroldwide hit is Telephone or Beautiful Liar and we all know why.

      • No January 30, 2013

        ‘All Beyonces songs are local’ #Thedelusion! No hunny bun, Im from the UK and her biggest hits are Crazy in Love and Single Ladies. Single Ladies didn’t even need to go #1 over here and its still her trademark song.

      • No January 30, 2013

        U need to travel more if you think that’s the case.

      • Jer January 30, 2013

        Child two or three big hits in the UK does not a global superstar make

        #youtried

      • Louise January 30, 2013

        @JER she said her BIGGEST hits #readingisessential.

    • wrinkle flop ora, January 30, 2013

      They were shading beyonce: beyonce comeback, but the put the rival and use her sing title. Pure shade. I love it.

      • wrinkle flop ora, January 30, 2013

        Her songs are local. Single ladies peaked at number 69 in France. man down is one of Rih biggest hits in france.

      • WTF January 30, 2013

        No theyre shading Rihanna b****. Learn to detect shade.

  22. Kate Middleton January 30, 2013

    it looks like 3D type, like life like…like she is right there. which looks cool so waiting for the.full proper pics to be posted. she looks good too.

  23. Pucci January 30, 2013

    m The only haters on here hating on rihanna is beyomcray fans get over yourself rihanna is prettier sexier doing her own thing everyone has to hate beyonce is not better or more decent than Kim k or rihanna beyomcr shake her ass for money on stage strip naked In magazines for Men to look at besides her husband camel toe so who is the hooker here at least Kim was with her man on tape u b**** beyomcr fans act as if b is all holy than tho please get a life j was a ex drug dealer pimp so stop throwing stones when ur fav Is nothing but a lowdown booty shaking ho call beyonce

  24. MISHKA January 30, 2013

    Could it BE any more random…Is this a fill-in cover or som’ing?

    You know they put “Crazy in Love” at the last minute because Beyonce IS the talk of the moment.

    Rolling Stone knew Beyonce was doing the Superbowl why didn’t they try to get her? Plus these pics got no theme, Rihanna looks very much unprepared, her Complex Mag covers were very much about her album, but this one, chile…She has better pics on her Instagram.

    By the look of it they just want to sell, the other subjects are pretty random too.

    Rolling Stone done lost it since they put Snooki on the cover.

    • zania January 30, 2013

      Because they didn’t have time to photoshop Beyonce or airbrush their cover. So Rihanna was their first choice, because of no airbrushing and her natural beauty. By the way, Rihanna looks s*** and beautiful.

    • wrinkle flop ora, January 30, 2013

      Because the media are not gonna start pitting these black women against each other and one of them is gonna break. I feel like they disrespected Beyonce. This is her come back month and they have Rih on the cover with ‘ crazy in love ‘ .

  25. Pop Royalty January 30, 2013

    and “CRAZY IN LOVE” ?!!

    and if that wasn’t some type of MARIAH-CAREY kind of shade , i don’t know what the f*** is it 🙄

    Beyonce must be laughing her ass off with BIC WHILE READING THIS MESS.

    • aurora January 30, 2013

      Lol u peeped that shade hehe

    • wrinkle flop ora, January 30, 2013

      No beyonce will not be laughing, She is trying to comeback and she needs the mainstream media. Now she has to watch her black younger rival f*** up her up like this.

    • RICHANDBLACK11 January 30, 2013

      that shade was very classy I live.

  26. aurora January 30, 2013

    So r her n chris brown a couple or what cse all this bit around the bush bs is annoying

    • RESPECT THE VOICE!!!! January 30, 2013

      It aint none of your ugly business fat f**!!

  27. Kate Middleton January 30, 2013

    at least Rihanna doesn’t Photoshop herself to appear younger like beyawnce, who airbrushes off her deep wrinkles that run down the sides of her face, not to mention those elephant tree trunks she calls legs get shopped to oblivion, she wishes she had long lean legs like Rihanna.

    Rihanna looks good slim, who wants to have a big fat ghetto diaper butts like kim k and beyawnce? they both have ugly butts. JLO has nice normal toned behind, not ghetto.

    rhi has a cute tush which suites her overall tall, long and lean figure.

    i have also always admired rhis collarbone, arms and shoulders.

  28. KingBeyBitches January 30, 2013

    1. That latest Vogue cover was a hot damn mess so was the GQ cover
    2. This WHOLE photoshoot looked awful and I aint even hating

    She’s becoming very boring and people or getting tired of her she needs a break after her whole tour because #Unapologetic is a damn mess in my opinion ( THERE ARE A FEW GOOD SONGS) BUT I thought this album would have been more than that I find TTT better and TTT wasnt all that

    • Kate Middleton January 30, 2013

      what are you talking about? Rihanna ‘s Vogue cover and shoot were gorgeous ,and her GQ was fierceness . did you see her belly? compare that to that rippling lumpy liposuction nightmare that beyawnce has. Rihanna is in demand.

      • KingBeyBitches January 30, 2013

        B**** Beyonce is sexier than f****** Rihanna ok Aint no argument there!!! “Vogue cover gorgeous and GQ fierceness” If you think those covers were gorgeous and fierce then you know not one f*** !!!

      • zania January 30, 2013

        If you photo shop the whole cover and make your self smaller, younger, anyone would look sexier. Lets see what her natural body looks like.

    • boopboop January 30, 2013

      “She’s becoming very boring and people or getting tired of her she needs a break”

      hmmmm….sound like you talking abt old-lady-once here

    • boopboop January 30, 2013

      not nearly as cheap as your fave’s dusty wig and 3 layers of spanx and obvious b*** pads

  34. TinaMinaj January 30, 2013

    Was hoping there’s something new or noteworthy but there isn’t. This actually seems very random…or maybe it’s another Chris Brown story. Anyway she’s in her element…

  35. Gennifer January 30, 2013

    In the second pic, you can clearly see where her real hair is and where the weave/extensions begin. Seems like the hair stylist or whoever would’ve done a better blending job.

    Why doesn’t she just pose for Playboy and get it over with? Rihanna is somebody who should’ve just gone into the s** industry from the beginning. Then again maybe she isn’t hyper-sexual so much as she’s just being lazy and taking the “s** sells” route and gaining notoriety from that, instead of taking the time to improve her singing and performing skills. I guess working on her voice and stage presence would get in the way of smoking blunts and posting ratchet pics on Instagram.

    I agree with John Vidal. I will be so glad when/if the music industry does a complete overhaul and sends these wannabe p*** stars and part-time models posing as singers packing and focuses more on talented artists instead of social media stars.

    • NΛVI January 30, 2013

      so why do you give f***??.you beyonce stans never ceases to amaze me with ya’ll pressed stupidity…you’re not fan of Rihanna yet you’re hot, bother and concern she’s not rehearsing. *puff puff and pass the blunt Riri* smoke one for the haters…

    • Kate Middleton January 30, 2013

      Rhi’s bad girl suits her and it doesn’t come across as forceful like **cough-cough*** who calls herself BaddieBey…looooooooool!!!

      i had some good chuckling when Beytryhard was calling her perfume add edgy..loooool!!!

  38. Kate Middleton January 30, 2013

    lol!!! at least Rihanna instagram seems real and just like her. that beyawnce is 24/7 posing. even those dance rehersal were still inposes she aalso digitally alters her pics too. loooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!

    she can never be herself, she is a PHONY.

    • Angelo January 30, 2013

      No its called being professional. Id rather see Beyonces intsagram doing her job and hyping her fans for what shes good at than the same boring ‘look at me aint I badass smoking weed’. When is Rihanna ever in rehearsal, too busy partying hence her wack performances.

      • NΛVI January 30, 2013

        so why do you give f***??.you beyonce stans never ceases to amaze me with ya’ll pressed stupidity…you’re not fan of Rihanna yet you’re hot, bother and concern she’s not rehearsing. *puff puff and pass the blunt Riri* smoke one for the haters.

      • Angelo January 30, 2013

        Because B**** she mentioned my fav! Ask you your fellow Navy why she needed to do that? Shes the one that acts pressed always bringing BEYONCE into it, even in her own faves post.

      • Kate Middleton January 30, 2013

        beyawnce instagram comes off as try hard and PHONY.

      • No January 30, 2013

    yo. nice pictures. so this is what terry did this time? not bad. nothing new tho. she kinda did it all already. that hook of that recycled love past bs story inside doesn’t make it more interesting either. but that “crazy in love” tag is a good subliminal throw to beyonce. she buzzin’ a lil more these days. they could have put her on the cover and text some about her upcoming stuff. rolling stone is slacking.

  46. xedos January 30, 2013

    That last pic is directed to people like sam

  47. Yeah I Said It January 30, 2013

    Why is her mouth open like that it looks weird you havnt mastered that pose Rihanna.

  48. Whatever January 30, 2013

    I don’t like it tbh.

  49. Jer January 30, 2013

    Thats BeYAWNce shade from RS. Thats like having Mariah on the cover and tagging it Mimi From the Block. Ch…

    Anyway, as always, Rihanna stays being herself and doesnt perpetuate the illusion of hollywood with a blank, lifeless, lack of personality. Rihanna is all T all day.

  51. wrinkle flop ora, January 30, 2013

    HA HA HA HA divide and conquer in full affect. Two black women being pitted against each other by white america, with the goal to frustrate the weakest link. This happened with Naomi Campbell and Tyra banks. They media starting pitting them against each other and that cause Naomi to be Jealous and insecure that she was gonna lose her black supermodel crown to Tyra. Iman warned Naomi not to fall for the Media attempt to send these black women to war, but Naomi could not help herself.

    Now, it is happened again! Rita Whora was in a competition to be in to be on the cover on rolling stone.; beyonc was begging on her blog that fans vote for rita whota to grace the cover of rolling stone. Rita Lost. Beyonce is making her comeback in Feb, yet they put Rih on the cover and use ‘ crazy in love’. They did the photo shoot last week, so it was rushed decision.

    They are trying to use Rihanan to send a message to beyonce.

  53. You Wanna Bey Me January 30, 2013

    There’s nothing special about these photos, like any of her other covers, seen one, you’ve seen them all. The same s***, she’s pretty tho, air brushed DOWN but cute,(SB) they know they could’ve put some jam on the side of her head, lol.

  54. Louise January 30, 2013

    Im sorry but that facial expression is an epic fail LOL

  55. You Wanna Bey Me January 30, 2013

    Now The Navi acting like photoshopping is acceptable, Rihanna wishes she was birthed with that face.

  56. You Wanna Bey Me January 30, 2013

    I don’t hate RiRi, but y’all have the nerve to criticize us when it comes to anything bey does, but y’all are living for this cover? How many times have we seen this look from her? Her GQ was better. If it was bey y’all would be screaming SAME LOOK, BORING, TRIES TOO GARD, PHOTOSHOPPED, talk about bias…so my question is: What’s so special?

  57. RICHANDBLACK11 January 30, 2013

    She looks cute, but same ole same ole with her.

  58. Hilly January 30, 2013

    She’s pretty on the cover, but the over pictures are the same old s*** , and let me guess with the “Crazy in Love” title, it’s about CB? It’s a music magazine but the interview is about her personal life, of course

  59. PRINCE MACHIAVEL January 30, 2013
