Hot Shot: Rihanna Directs ‘River Island’ Shoot

Published: Tuesday 4th Dec 2012 by David

If the viewing figures of ‘Styled To Rock‘ were anything to go by, Rihanna should be anywhere but behind the camera.

However, it seems the folk over at River Island were oblivious to this fact when they enlisted the star to direct their Spring/Summer campaign recently, as seen above.

Sharing the snap online, the one time Beyonce wannabe tweeted:

    • Mark December 4, 2012

      I’m a fan of both and a huge Rihanna fan, but they did try to make her a mini Beyonce back in 05 and 06. We didn’t see the real Rihanna till GGGB in 07. BUT label tried to make every chic their verson of Beyonce, after 03, every new chic had blond hair with their asses out. Ciara, Rihanna, Christina Milliun etc.

      • Monstarebel (THE UNAPOLOGETIC PRINCE) December 4, 2012

        how???????? there sound was different last time I checked beyonce didn’t sing reggae…
        just because Rihanna had a weave n was black didn’t mean she was trying to be beyonce TF….

      • Mark December 4, 2012

        Not sound, but looks, yea. It’s common, they will make you into who they want, this is not new. Just like in 99 they tried to make every white chic into Britney Spears, it happens, but some, like Rih, become themselves and move on.

  6. White girl mob December 4, 2012

  7. Mrs Robyn Brown (BEYONCE’S WEAVE) December 4, 2012

    I’m just waiting for Rita Whora’s whoring story. It was all over the internet yesterday, it was also trending worldwide. Over 20 men, wow what a w****. Baddie Bey must be so proud of her protege. I see there’s no damage control from “baddie Bey’s” camp. They have however heightened their onslaught on Rihanna.

    • mobwife: operation kill the b*tch December 4, 2012

      “They have however heightened their onslaught on Rihanna.” <—- What do you mean?

      ……. DAMNNNNN that Rita Ora – Rob Kardashian situation is a hot ass mess! 🙂

  8. HOTSTUFF December 4, 2012

    LOL that shade is so whack ….anyways, You Go RihRih do ya thang !

    • NFG (No f**** given) December 4, 2012

      Why would Rihanna say that Bey lower’s self esteem inlcuding hers and did a DC tribute performance AND said beyonce was her biggest idol??

      Damn, it must hurt to know the truth. I know the navy don’t like to do research though.

  9. boopboop December 4, 2012

    i bet kris jenner cooked up that “rita whora” stunt…put rob up to tweeting then deleting tweets…made “rita whora” a TT all to give her much-needed publicity in the us since noneof her singles are doin it. a s** tape will prob “leak” too which shows how desparate rita is to get her name out there. her 2nd album will prob get pushed back AGAIN

    • boopboop December 4, 2012

      shes tryna to copy rih’s “bad girl” image but she just looks thirsty and try-hard. mark my words bey will get tired of wasting $$$ on flopita whora esp since shes tryna to make a comeback in 2013 and need $$$ for her own promo campaign.

    • mobwife: operation kill the b*tch December 4, 2012

      Wow, that sounds crazy, although I put nothing past that money grabbing w**** Kris Kardashian Jener!She would sell a kidney for fame and fourtune!

      Rob laid Rita the hell out though! DAMNNNNN he didn’t need to go there! 🙂

  10. RitasLipstick December 4, 2012

    The only difference between Rita and Rihanna is a big mouth. Rihanna is the biggest h** of all, she’s just one disgruntled ex from having her p**** put on blast something terrible.

    • Mark December 4, 2012

      20 guys, nuff said. And if both are f****** to get to the top, Rita is doing a bad job at it. But this is nothing new, unless you’re Beyonce or Brandy and have a dad with good business skills, most will f*** to get where they want to be.

  11. Rihanna December 4, 2012

    i’m SO DUMB. I CAN DO FASHION STUFF BUT NOT WRITE MY OWN MUSIC. LMFAOOO

    I swear my fans are STUPID. I only put effort into what I want to put effort in. Which is why i’m always looking cute, but i always sound likes s*** and dance terrible live.

    I AM A BUM.

    Anyway go get Unapolgoetic because it fell to #7 . that navy is some frauds

    • Mark December 4, 2012

      All this shows is that you want to be Rihanna. Sad, just sad. You bring a whole new meaning to the word FAKE.

      At least you ain’t lying to yourself.

  12. RitasLipstick December 4, 2012

    Can anyone name ONE guy Rita has f***** besides Rob? No you can’t. Rihanna has definitely f***** Matt Kemp. Common, Chris Brown etc, not to mention all the non famous she’s taken since she applied for her green card. You wanna judge Ms. Rita when everyone knows your fave is the local door knob, letting everyone have a turn.

    • mobwife: operation kill the b*tch December 4, 2012

      Common WHO? 0_O

      Girl BYE! Common and Rihanna have never “smashed”. I simply do not by that lie! When and where? Chris Brown OF COURSE! Matt Kempt perhaps but they were her boyfriends. Everyone else is a rumor or a wish on typically on their part (i.e. Stop Kony…opps I mean Meek Mills).
      Common is just so ….YUMMY 🙂 …..I have never heard about him and Rihanna!

      A music legend: someone who has the ability to stand the test of time and perform on such a high level that he or she transcends mere talent of gift. Legendary status happens over time, not in a single moment let alone 7 years. Some examples the great examples of musical legends include: Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, James Brown, Prince, Pavarotti, Marvin Gaye, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Quincy Jones, Whitney Houston, etc.

      A legend is someone who breaks the barriers for themselves and others and surpasses expectation with their music, artistry, performances and craft. Commercial success =/= legend. People like Marvin Gaye, Prince, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, etc weren’t the most commercially successful out of the bunch, rather their music, impact, influence, trend-setting ways, etc made them legends.

    “Another bogus celebrity lawsuit has been filed in federal court … this time, the troublemaker claims to be Chris Brown … and he’s filed an INSANE lawsuit against Rihanna.

    TMZ has obtained the documents, filed in U.S. District Court in Tennessee … in which “Chris Brown” is requesting a restraining order against Rihanna because he fears she will cause him bodily harm.

    The suit contains the following (completely untrue) allegations:

    — “[Rihanna] gave me h***** and then when I threatened to file a lawsuit against her for not telling me she was infested with genital blisters she began to hit herself in the face and throw herself into walls just as Jim Carrey did in the movie ‘Liar, Liar.”

    “Then she turned around and blamed me for the matter as a form of punishment.”

    — “I woke up with three blisters on my penis … this isn’t just a regular case of American h*****, this is a case of H***** from Barbados, which is most likely lethal.”

    The accuser is demanding $10 million … along with “a restraining order against Rihanna and her case of genital h***** immediately.”

    TMZ broke the story … someone claiming to be Selena Gomez’s father filed another bogus lawsuit in Michigan — accusing Justin Bieber of stealing his credit card for a penis enlargement.

    Clearly, the allegations contained in the lawsuits are completely untrue … and if the culprit is identified, he or she could be punished by the judge.

    Rihanna first appeared on the Billboard 200 the week of Sept. 17, 2005, when “Music of the Sun” arrived at its No. 10 peak. Less than a year later (May 13, 2006), “A Girl Like Me” bowed at its No. 5 peak, powered by her first Hot 100 No. 1, “SOS.” Just more than a year after that (June 23, 2007), “Good Girl Gone Bad” launched at No. 2, fueled by her seven-week Hot 100 No. 1 “Umbrella,” featuring Jay-Z.

  25. Lax December 4, 2012

    Rihanna makes it to Billboard in a big way,,,

    Good Girl
    narrowly missed the Billboard 200 summit that frame. T-Pain’s “Epiphany” opened at No. 1 with 171,000 copies, just 9,000 units ahead of Rihanna’s set. And, while T-Pain won the initial chart battle, Rihanna claimed a victory of longevity: ..
    “Epiphany” spent 28 weeks on the chart, “Girl,” 99. To date, “Epiphany” has sold 911,000; “Girl,” 2.8 million.

  26. Lax December 4, 2012

    Since, Rihanna has released the studio sets “Rated R” (No. 4, 2009), “Loud” (No. 3, 2010) and “Talk That Talk” (No. 3, 2011) prior to “Unapologetic.” Arriving in the thick of the holiday shopping season each year, the three sets ran into yuletide blockades each year.

  27. Lax December 4, 2012

    Rih Rated R,,,
    Upon its debut, “Rated R” ranked behind buzz-worthy sets by Susan Boyle and Andrea Bocelli (“My Christmas”), as well as Adam Lambert’s debut album “For Your Entertainment,” the lattermost album buoyed by fervent fans who felt that he, not actual champ Kris Allen, was the deserving winner of “American Idol” that year.

  28. Lax December 4, 2012

    Rihanna and other Artist who drope’s during the thick of the
    Holiday Season will always run neck to neck with the Christmas
    albums which is always great seller,,,,

  29. Lax December 4, 2012

    Rih dropped when Susan Boyle was controlling the charts,
    and Susan Boyle even Upset Whitney Houstons Album that year,,,,
    A year later, Rihanna was again unable to unseat Boyle, whose seasonal “My Gift” was amid an eight-week Billboard 200 reign. “Loud” also started behind Jackie Evancho’s EP “O Holy Night.”

  30. Lax December 4, 2012

    Rihanna “Talk” was dropped but Michael Buble’s had dropped to,,,
    Last December, “Talk That Talk” (198,000 sold in its first week) began below Michael Buble’s “Christmas”(227,000) and Nickelback’s “Here and Now” (less than a thousand units lower than Buble’s set). While the race among all three albums was close, each set’s genre also points to why Rihanna may have been at a disadvantage. Holiday albums naturally attract attention in December.

    ..Nickelback, meanwhile, is a rock act while Rihanna’s main success has been in pop circles. Since superstar pop acts’ songs are so often available for consumption on radio airwaves, the only way to hear a less radio-ready rock group’s new music may be to buy its new album. Based on that premise, Nickelback’s higher sales sum that week is understandable.

  31. Lax December 4, 2012

    Rihanna,,,,
    releases studio albums at such a consistent pace may have also had a hand in Rihanna not having reached No. 1 until this week. When an artist is so forthcoming with new music, each album arrives with less event status, perhaps lessening its demand.

  32. Lax December 4, 2012

    Rihanna,,,,
    Five of her albums have sold more than a million copies each, the 2.8 million units that “Girl” has sold is her best sum. Perhaps Rihanna’s albums would sell more if another release wasn’t always issued so soon after.
    Still, since her first week in the Billboard 200 top 10, only the “Glee” cast (13), Miley Cyrus/”Hannah Montana” (nine) and Toby Keith (eight) have more top 10s than Rihanna (while Kenny Chesney also boasts seven).

    Clearly, even before her first No. 1 album, Rihanna’s Billboard 200 success since the start of her career Merits Praise.
