    Rihanna maybe a flop album seller, but her fashion sense is everything!

    .

    @ BeyHive

    Beyonce just sold out a 73K stadium in Poland, and The Mrs. Carter World Tour has sold at least 802.000 tickets so far, in just 10 days, just NA and Europe, the 2nd legs haven’t been added yet, and without any ticket discount.

    Great Job, keep SLAYing!

  9. Gilberto February 17, 2013

    OMG! TACKY CLOTHES. Fashion show? It looked like Fashion H**. I can only see prostitutes using these cheap outfits that R****** call clothes. They’re as basic as her. I am not surprised about it, she is naked everytime, she doesn’t know nothing about fashion.

  10. mob February 17, 2013

    Well good for her. Folks Rih and Bey are both doing their thing so let it go….

  11. Meena February 17, 2013

    These clothing are gonna sell out fast

  12. Kent February 17, 2013

    Beyonce doesnt need to end rihanna career because she has a better one that is above riri so sybil once again stop skipping meds cos this post has nothing to do with beyonce or her musical career what riri should focus more on that fashion fashion fashion.

  13. JJFan1814 February 17, 2013

    Rihanna stays WINNING!!!!!! Way better than that Slaughterhouse of Dereon!!!!!

  14. RIHHYYONSAYY STANN February 17, 2013

    I can’t believe how big she’s become, and she’s only 24!

    @watersports
    i think she should do stadiums all over America, and in NZ, Netherlands, Brazil (she’s already booking a 75K stadium there but needs to do like 2 or 3 lol), Argentina, Peru, South Africa, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe (Bey herself doesn’t know she’s the queen of Africa), Japan, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea!

    i’m sure she will, she said this tour will last for an entire year!

  15. . : : W A T E R S P O R T S : : . February 17, 2013

    @JJFan1814

    HOD is too old, dusty and 2000’s, she’s collaborating with Magilla to improve it!

    We heard she’s starting a campaign for her own record label, Parkwood Records too!

  16. My Forehead Tho February 17, 2013

    I don’t like Rihanna, but damn I felt sorry for her looking at that big long ass 8+ minutes of pure struggle she called her clothing line

    No wonder her show got cut off….the b**** doesn’t know s*** about fashion. She should stop taking credit for her what her stylist does for her.

  17. RIHANNA NAVY!!! February 17, 2013

    RIHANNA MADE CLOTHES FOR EVERYDAY WEAR AND NOT FOR GHETTO HOODRATS EITHER WITH SIZE 22 CLOTHES LIKE BEYAWNCE! ELLE AND VOUGE AGREE THAT RIH IS THE NEW FASHION GURU!!! SHE WILL GENERATE MILLIONS WITH THIS REVENUE ALONE!!! FIRST THIS B**** IS SLAYING MUSIC WITH 100 MILLION RECORDS SOLD WORLDWIDE NOW THIS B**** IS SLAYING FASHION WITH FIRST HER 2 SOLDOUT COLLECTIONS FOR ARMANI NOW RIVER ISLAND AND OPENING CERAMONY!!! # DAT REIGN!!!!

  18. BEYONCE N RITA WHORA FLOP TOGETHER February 17, 2013

    Sam,

    Remember when You, Rita ora nation and others said that when Rita Ora drops ‘ Radioactive’ she will set the world alight. They said it is her ‘ WE FOUND LOVE ‘ . You were even bragging that it was number 40 on itunes . Well, radioactive was officially released on the 10th feb. It peaked at……………………………………NUMBER 18.

    Pitiful.

    Though this girl was the A list in the UK? Shine ya light scraped into the top 10 and Radioactive, written by Sia peaked at 18. Why does this flop w**** keep releasing singles?

    Do you want to know what Promo she did for radioactive?

    UK Tour
    Rio Ferdinand magazine
    Radio 1 – severa times this week
    Radio 2
    Radio 1 xtra
    Graham norton. She seems to have connections with people at radio 1 and MTV. She is sleeping with people at these places, only way she gets all this love.

    Anyway. She flopped and peaked at 18. SHE IS OVER.

    Stay by rihanna is at number 4.

    LOL LOL LOL

  19. Music Soul Harmony February 17, 2013

    If it’s cute and it fits then I will wear it. I dont really care about brand names or fashion designers. Except Jessica Simpson’s lines are kinda cute! Especially the shoes! Most of the clothes I saw here were kinda blah. Really when I look at the clothes I see laidback carribean type of clothes. I was expecting something more city and trendy and a little edgier but whatevs. Rihanna’s fans will say anything is holy and oh so amazing…

  20. N**** PLEASE!!! February 17, 2013

    @MUSIC UM THE WORLD CAN AGREE THAT THIS IS WAY MORE EDGY AND FASHIONABLE THAN THAT MESS YOUR FAVE WAS SHOVING DOWN YALL THROATS WITH HOUSE OF HORRORS HER FADHION LINE IS SLAYING THE FASHION WORLD ALREADY!!!

  21. N**** PLEASE!!! February 17, 2013

    TACKY WITCH FACE TINA GOT TO HAPPY WITH HER GLITTER GLUE GUN AND IT SHOWED IN HOOD MALLS IN TX AND EVERY SOUTHERN STATE THAT WEAR DEWRONG!!

  22. My Forehead Tho February 17, 2013

    Dead @ the reviews for her fashion show. Most of them are calling it the “Horror Show”

    There is nothing edgy about these clothes, and the Navi just lost any credibility they had by saying these clothes look good -_-

  23. N**** PLEASE!!! February 17, 2013

    DEAD @MY FOREHEAD LYING!! ALL OF HER FASHION CRITICS ARE RAVING ABOUT HER CLOTHES!!! ELLE VOUGUE AND SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE JUST TO NAME A FEW!!! HOUSE OF HORROR WAS YOUR FAVES LINE!!

  24. Beyonce ORIGONal NAVY QUEEN a.k.a DUTTY WIND February 17, 2013

    Its a good thing that she launched her own clothing libe ok but lets stop comparing everything that Rihanna does to Beyonce. QUEEN NAVY BEYONCE, is WAY WAY WAY RICHER than Rihanna and no matter how many albums, clothing lines, s** tapes…that Rihanna is gonna release, Queen Navy BEY is always gonna end up making MORE MONEY than that INDUSTRY W**** RIHANNA. Every producer in hollywood has TASTED that w****’s PUCCY. RIHANNA is a DISGRACE TO WOMEN and AMERICA. WE DONT WANNA HER GIVING OUR COUNTRY A BAD IMAGE. SHE SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY DEPORTED BACK TO BARBADOS!!
    *spits at her flopshion line*

  25. Music Soul Harmony February 17, 2013

    Stay mad. It’s my opinion. U typing in caps like u Finna kill me. Girl, bye. Lol.

  26. My Forehead Tho February 17, 2013

    I have no reason to lie -_-

    Go to Google and type in “Horror Show” and then go to the news section. You’ll see about a dozen articles about Rihanna’s show.

  27. Mars February 17, 2013

    Those clothes look like they can be found at target. Nothing exclusive or edgy about them.

  28. BEYONCE ORIGINAL NAVY QUEEN. GOODWILL>>>>>RIFLOP ISLAND February 17, 2013

    Anyone who buys these FLOP trash from Riflop Island must be a cheap h**. GIRLS if i were y’all, i would rather shop at GOODWILL. bwahaha. Rihanba is so gonna regret investing in this FLOP “clothing line”

  29. SuxMyCockiness =O February 17, 2013

    I’m guessing it’s all of the fat b****** that don’t like any of the clothes LOL. I love the line, if you were to mix and match a lot of the pieces you can come up with some really cute outfits. I also love the way the clothes fit, so s*** =) I’m excited to see what she brings next. Shoes hopefuly =)

  30. S****** Blonde February 17, 2013

    She looks cute, fresh, anyway Sam why don’t you post about Beyonce talking about Madonna in magazine “The Gentlewoman”.

  31. GOODWILL is for the CLASSY, while RIFLOP ISLAND from W**** Rihanna is for da S****!! February 17, 2013

    @ RIHANNA NAVY
    Its not out fault that ure a 5TH GRADDER. But u better check your spellings dude. My 4 year old can spell way better than u. Its called cerEmoney with an E NOT A dude.
    Wats wrong with these Rihanna man whores?
    I can see that her insanity is really affecting her fans.
    Only the uneducated support rihanna. They spend their whole time on TGJ lying about celebrities who’re actually talented and try to bring them down so that their UNEDUCATED idol can shine. But the world is watching. Hollywood is watching. We are all watching. We KNOW THOSE WHO ARE FAKE N THOSE WHO ARE REAL. The These are artists whom no matter how manynumber records that they sell, EVERYBODY is still gonna know that theyre NOT real artist. Theyre just a bunch of autotune singers with NO TALENT. these artists are
    KESHA
    BRITNEY SPEARS
    RIHANNA
    MADONNA
    NIKKI MINAJ
    JENNIFER LOPEZ
    …and dont get me wrong. A few of these have other talents apart from rihanna n kesha. But when it comes to SINGING, All of them know nothing about it. Jennifer, brit n madonna can dance. Kesha n rihanna can ONLY be HOLKYWOOD HARLOTS.

  32. Music Soul Harmony February 17, 2013

    Suxmycockiness: and I guess gays like u will think its cute strutting ur stuff in these women clothes that u could probably barely fit either? Hahaha….A hot DRAG mess!

  33. SuxMyCockiness =O February 17, 2013

    @Music Soul Harmony, I’m guessing your one of the fat b****** I speak of. LMFAO. It will be okay, things will get better for you =)

  34. BEYONCE N RITA WHORA FLOP TOGETHER February 17, 2013

    Whooop, whoop, whoop. It is just not your week, is it sam? River island have asked rih to do another collection for River island for fall / winter.

    Rih stays winning and Beyonce and rita flop whora stay loosing.

  35. WOLVERINES February 17, 2013

    Positive reviews? where?
    From the magazines bought and paid for?
    This collection has had terrible reviews
    plus the design of the leggings is a copy of a design thats been out for years.
    No originality
    No quality
    No style.
    Anyone who says different has been standing too close to Rihanna as she
    exhales her weed smoke and fills the room with canabis clouds

  36. Creole Queen Beyonce February 17, 2013

    In case you people didn’t know, this clothing line has received a lot of negative reviews. It doesnt look too bad but its got no originality. Weve seen clothes like these before. Shes just reproducing other people’s ideas. Like nikki minaj playing around with all those wigs as if she created it. Lik Kim(the queen of rap) did all that already. Lil kim had the BARBIE idea first. So nothing is original with these artists. Rihannas fans call themselves navy but the whole world knows that KING B had that idea first. Rihanna’s whole career is based on plagiarism. Beyonce came out with a song GREENLIGHT, then before u know it, rihanna sings abt the same green light in Disturbia. Beyonce used mirrorson the floor in her UPGRADE YOU video, rihanna does same thing in Hate that i love you. Beyonce used red hair in CHECK ON IT, rihanna copied the same thing later on n even took it as her new hairstyle. Beyonce sang “if u like it then u shoulda PUT A RING ON IT” in single ladies, rihanna later on sang “PUT YOUR NAME ON IT” in her song Birthday cake. Beyonce n her destinychilds girld, put on NAVY ATTIRES in survivor video, now Rihanna is calking her fans NAVY. If uall want me to go on, im gon go on. Rihanna will never be unique. At leadt britney spears cant sing but she had her own style. Madonna was unique. But rihanna, everything u do has got NO ORIGINALITY!!!!!!!!
    So stay flopping.

    Rihanna is the new Diana according to this article: www . thesundaytimes . co . uk / sto / public / article1214678 . ece [remove spaces]

    And Rihanna is already designing for the Fall collection so clearly River Island love it. Haters failed again, try again.

  39. whyohwhy February 17, 2013

    The ones praising this mess are either hookers are hookers in training.. Go check the UK reviews, they are calling this a horror show, slutty and the most tasteless mess they have seen. The Diana comment goes along with the other mess, some one started this mess too try and save face for the farce of a show she put on… Beyonce has nothing too do with this..

  40. blue February 17, 2013

    MTV Style’s Chrissy Mahlmeister:
    “We’re totally on-board with her comfy girly-yet-grunge pieces. She kicked off her show with Kanye West and Jay-Z’s “Clique” blasting to a light show on a multi-level platform stage, and then sent out a two-piece denim ensemble for her opening look. She remixed traditional denim overalls but cutting them into two pieces and adding an extra layer of baggy jeans (literally) on top of a lighter pair, which we’ve never seen before.”
    MailOnline’s Toni Jones:
    “While the feel of the collection was quite young, Rihanna also included some seriously elegant maxi dresses, dip-hemmed shirts and digital print separates that will find a home in the 30 something market… Models were the kind of cool girls every 16 year old wants to be and the hip-hop soundtrack kept her young fans happy.”
    Sober judges at the best of times, The Guardian, compared Rihanna’s bid for fashion fiefdom to Mary and Kate Olsen’s debut years ago — the sisters were named as Womenswear Designers of the Year by Council of Fashion Designers of America last year — concluding:

    “For keen fashion enthusiasts who look to London for innovative ideas this 120-piece collection undoubtedly fell short. There is little doubt the collaboration, which is supported by a marketing campaign featuring Dunn, will be a winner when it hits the shops next month.”

    i see nothing but good to great reviews here from the biggest names

  41. TEACHER is a child molesta February 17, 2013

    Please dont m***** me sir. I’ll be your good student i promise. I can see u after class just how u like it, and be your girl toy. Please stop molesting my comments and i:'(

  42. KELLY February 17, 2013

    @WHYOHWHY – It’s getting bad reviews because it’s really aweful!

    The Navy and their muthphuckin lies.
    This s*** is getting bad reviews.
    The clothing line is UGLY as hell, Beyonce HOD debut/presentation at the London Fashion Week in 2011 was much more better and the clothing was 10X better than this cheap nonsense.

    House-Of -Gone-Wrong is much better than this. LMFAO Beyonce tramps Rihanna AGAIN!

    its laid back grungy, for warmer weather and i love it. its more every day wear.

    can’t wait to see the fall collection.

  44. RIVER ISLAND==WARDROBE MALFUNCTION February 18, 2013

    These are not my words. They are the top reviews on RIhanna’s trashy pornographic “clothing line”

    Huffington Post’s Rebecca Adams:
    “RiRi was an hour late for her nine-minute fashion show. We know timeliness isn’t de rigueur during fashion week, but making attendees wait a whole hour? Even we can’t pretend to check emails on our iPhones for that long. Nipple-baring, crotch-flashing mesh outfits and bra tops aren’t exactly what a stylish gal wants to throw on for a casual night out.The entire collection was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. … Rihanna didn’t technically design the clothes… Did she even touch the fabric she draped the models in?”

    The Daily Beast’s Tom Sykes was perhaps the most verbal critic:
    “There were few who anticipated a fashion triumph, but, even allowing for the limited expectations, Rihanna’s collection for River Island as brought forth in London tonight was a horror show. The clothes were hideous and without an ounce of panache or style between them. True, there were some consolations. For example, if you really, really like belly buttons, if you are totally nuts for navels, then this could be the collection for you. If you only feel capable of wearing clothes on the lower half of your body if they are slashed up to your waist, then again, you are in luck. Similarly, if you were a guy hoping for a one night stand and a girl started chatting to you in a bar wearing anything from the Rihanna for River Island collection, you could feel fair confident you’d be getting lucky. The only lingering uncertainty in your mind would be whether or not she would take a credit card.”

  45. zania February 18, 2013

    Those two blogs never post anything positive about Rihanna. Huffington post been kissing Bey a since they were trying to protest her and then after Bey people got to them they been writing nothing but positive articles and at two to three articles a day about Bey. So what they say means nothing. Its what a real fashion magazine had to say like Elle and Vogue and a whole lot of others, gave positive reviews. Just like this blog they write nothing but negative about Rihanna and uplift Bey.

  46. Rihanna destroyed Beyfat’s flop career February 18, 2013

    House of disaster is a cheap ghetto wear selling in every project. Beyho can’t sell fashion like Rihanna can. Everybody knows Rihanna is a true fashionista, icon,legend, and snatching Beyho’s wig at age 24.

  47. MISHKA February 18, 2013

    I saw the pics of her designs and let’s be honest, it was just ???? for me.

    Looks nothing like what we would expect from Rihanna, it doesn’t even look like stuff she would wear.

    And d*mn at her stans always mixing things up. Yes, Rihanna can wear anything and work it. Linda Evangelista was the chameleon queen but is she a designer?! No.

  48. KISS MY FOREHEAD February 18, 2013

    That Grape Juice is a biased blog. Why did you guys take off the REPLY option?
    This BLOG is a joke. It feels like this is a RIHANNA’s FAN PAGE.
    almost everybody here criticize all other artists and are in support of rihanna. TGJ is a joke. I’m sorrt but that’s what this is!!

  53. Rosie February 18, 2013

    Prostrihtute keeps proving she’s the joke of the industry. This line looks like it only cost $1 (HIVrih’s blojob price) to produce and is disgusting. Death at the Symphrihllis stans saying this is classy. No one will buy this trash.

  54. Lili123 February 19, 2013

    Hahaha I don’t stan for the Hive or the Navy, I like both. But honestly, Navy stans have no right to call out Beyonce’s line when it was more successful, had better reviews, and was 10 times better than this s***. I’m sorry Rihanna’s cool and I like her music but if it was the other way around Navy stans would be throwing all kinds of shade. So keep it real. Idk what the big deal is, both women are beautiful and successful. Beyonce’s just accomplished and respected more but its to be expected. She’s been in the game for 16 yrs. and one of the best performers out right now. She’ll always have 1 up on Rihanna because she has raw talent. Rihanna is still bad ass though. Real talk.

  55. Dee March 15, 2013

    your dumb af beyonce wouldn’t end rih career cus she f*** w her. Rihanna is under f***** jayz label u dumb f****. And I love beyonce way more than rih but damn let her get her muhfuckin shine on.
