Rihanna is in the news again with her controversial video Man Down. The beginning of the video has Rihanna shooting an unarmed man in cold blood.
It does not show you why until the end. Rihanna twittered “Young girl/women all over the world…we are a lot of things! We’re strong innocent fun flirtatious vulnerable and sometime our innocence can cause us to be naïve! We always think it could Never be us, but in reality, it can happen to Any of us! So ladies be careful.” I strongly agree with Rihanna’s twitter message. As for her video I agree. I have always said if I am sexually assaulted, that person better kill me because I would hunt them down and end their life. I know it is wrong to take a life, but I can’t image that person only getting a short amount of time for what they have done. To walk the streets so they can do it again to someone else is not right. Like the Jaycee Dugard, she was abducted at the age of ten and held for eighteen years. Jaycee’s life was stolen from her. Phillip Craig Garrido was sentenced to 431 years to life. I don’t think that’s good enough, I hope in prison he is rapped every day of his 431 years. Garrido was a serial rapist he should not have been out on parole in 1976. Nancy Garrido got 36 years, that’s not enough either I hope her 36 years a pure hell. Anyone one that sexually assaults another person needs to be put down.

Born Christopher Maurice Brown on May 5, 1989, in Tappahannock, Virginia,
Chris taught himself to dance at young age copying his inspiration Michael
Jackson. Chris started performing in his church choir and local talent
shows. Chris’s mother recognized his vocal talent while he was performing
an Usher song. She began to look for a record deals, for her son. At a young age Chris had personal issues. Chris was terrified of his mother’s boyfriend all the time, due to his domestic violence against his mother.
Chris had no idea that seeing his mother being beat on by her boyfriend for years before would have a profound affect on him. I think growing up around that kind of violence does have an affect on children. When little
girls see their mothers being beat on continuously, more than likely they are drawn to the same kind of male figure. Little boys when they see this kind of violence they think it is all right to beat on females. Chris was charged with domestic violence against Rihanna in 2009.
Chris Brown has put this domestic violence charge behind him. Even though his sponsors at the time dropped him and radio stations took his music off the play list. In 2010 on the BET Awards he performed a tribute to Michael
Jackson. While singing “Man in the Mirror” Chris started crying and fell to his knees. I saw his performance, I was even choked up, he truly sung from the heart. I can imagine what he was going through and how sorry he
was for everything he had done the year before. Chris Brown collaborated with Tyga they came out with a mix tape titled “Fan of a Fan” in 2010.
“Deuces” featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall, this single hit number one on the R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for seven consecutive weeks. Giving Chris Brown his first number one hit single since “Say Goodbye” in 2006. Chris’s
album F.A.M.E. (Forgiving All My Enemies) has two singles “Yeah 3x” released in October 2010 and “Look at Me Now” Featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes released in January 2011. F.A.M.E. album will be released in March of 2011. Will this album earn Chris Brown some more number one hits or a Grammy ?
Chris Brown is an actor as well as a singer. He has acted in a number of television and movies. In 2007 he stared in three episodes of the television show The O.C. as Will Tutt. In 2008 he was the guest star on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Chris had his first film debut in 2007 in
“Stomp the Yard” this was a small role. That same year he landed one of the main roles in “This Christmas” as Michael ‘Baby’ Whitfield. In 2010 he played Jessie Attica along side Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Idris Elba,
Hayden Christensen Michael Ealy and T.I. the crime thriller “Takers”. Chris was also one of the executive producers of this movie. I saw this movie it was good, I liked Chris’s role he played it very well. Chris will
also be in the movie “Phenom” coming in the year 2012.
All that Chris Brown has been through in his short life, I hope he has learned his lesson. I like Chris Brown as a singer and actor I wish him well.

Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty February 20, 1988. in Saint Michaels Barbados.
Rihanna is the oldest of three siblings, has two younger brothers.
Rihanna’s childhood was rocky, her Father was addicted to crack cocaine her parents marriage ended when she fourteen. Rihanna trained with the military of Barbados, she was in the army cadet sub-military program.
Rihanna and two other classmates of hers formed a singing group, they were introduced to Evan Rogers while he was vacationing in Barbados with his wife. The group audition for him, Rogers said “the minute Rihanna walked into the room, it was like the other two girls didn’t exist.”
Rihanna’s demo album took a year because she continued to go to school, she only recorded during summer and Christmas break. I say good for her.
Rihanna’s demo some how was heard by Jay-Z the president of Def Jam records at the time, he signed her admittedly. Rihanna’s first two album Music of the Sun and A Girl Like Me, considered in the reggae genre.
Rihanna’s look when she was produced by Jay-Z , look like a Beyonce` clone. Rihanna’s style changed dramatically with the Good Girl Gone Bad album, some of the video’s to the songs on this album are out there. I guess you don’t have to know how to sing if your selling sex.
Rihanna’s Domestic violence episode in 2009, brought about STOParazzi to propose a law called “Rihanna’s Law” It would stop law enforcement from releasing crime victims photos to the media. Rihanna is not just a entertainer she is also a philanthropist, she has a foundation call Believe it helps terminally ill children. Rihanna is also involved in the marketing of her country of Barbados and she is the official face a tourism. When I was in Barbados in October, my tour guide told me that the highway we’re on is going to be change to the Rihanna Highway. He said “Rihanna has done a lot for Barbados, she deserve it.” I don’t particularly care for a lot of her sound or music, but some of it is catchy like “Rude Boy”, “Take A Bow” and “Pon de Replay”.
