More of Rihanna's Business That's Nobody's


Rihanna and her girls are not wasting any time when it comes to getting turnt up.

Last night, we got a glimpse of just how wild things are getting on her new 777 tour, after a topless photo of Rihanna surfaced online via a guy named Kidd Creole.

The photo showed a shirtless Rihanna smoking weed with Canadian money covering her body. RiRi cuffed her boobs and blew smoke from her mouth in the sultry image. If you didn't know, Rihanna is currently in the midst of the aforementioned 777 Tour, during which Ri and a bunch of invited journalists travel to seven countries in seven days for seven concerts.









But this wasn't the only hijinks shared with the world, Rihanna's friend Jenn kissed her chest, and then wrestled with Ri's BFF Melissa. Another member of the crew captioned the girl fight, saying:

"Smack-down Wrestling!!! #777 @mforde11 @jennnrosales lol"





One thing is for sure, everyone traveling along the tour with Rihana is going to need a major break for some rest and relaxation.

sorry but i have to disagree, just because america has the most influence now, doesn't mean it always will. we don't know yet who will have the most influence in time. american influence WILL decline just like the british influence did. it will probably be another 50 years but america will go down and someone else will rise up and take it's place. right now it's looking like china, india or apparently brazil with china leading. and i am not sure why you are talking about iceland because my comment was in regards to china rising, but thanks for the information, i already knew iceland was looking to use our dollar. the canadian dollar is strong and stable and the 7th most traded currency in the world. while it is not used as official currency as much as the american one, it does alright for itself. also china relaxed their one child policy in rural areas, provided that their first child is a girl they are allowed to apply for the right to have a second child. it looks like they are heading in the direction of abolishing it at some point.

in any case, american influence won't last forever, at some point it will go down. doesn't mean the US will be destitute, just means there will be a new leader of the pack and it won't be americans

How did I know you were going to say China, India or Brazil? LOL

People love to speculate on the "new superpower" because, like I said, it makes a great story. The facts, however, point to something completely different. I'm not even going to go into why India and Brazil won't be superpowers either, because it's more complex than China tbh and I'm tired.

Anyway, my point still stands, when America loses it's 'superpower' status, it wont be replaced by another country. Mostly likely there'll just be a bunch of "great powers"... Superpowers are relics of the past, America has just sustained theirs.

As someone of indian descent i actually agree about india. I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree. But lbr here america didn't re-invent the wheel no matter how much you want to believe it. Superpower is just the modern way of saying empire. Empires have been around for millenia. I don't think that is going away anytime soon. There will always be a "leader" so to speak. And i just read that exchange involving iceland with the op. i wouldn't be so dismissive. Iceland may be a small country but if this were happening even ten years ago there would be no question that they would go straight to the US for the greenback. The fact that they are even considering another country's currency over the greenback is a problem. As for china's middle class, i hate to break it to you but america's middle class was nearly extinct just a couple of years ago and it's not doing so hot now

We are going to agree to disagree for sure. The "empire" will be a relic of the past in my opinion because globalization will see to that. Iceland considering to switch to the Canada dollar has more to do with Europe and the fact that they and Canada have commonalities. Canada doesn't have that with the majority of the world, and they are only 5.6% of the total currency trade while the USD is 86% I think...

But whatever, it is what it is.

lol i knew you were going to bring up globalization. globalization isn't brand new, it's been around for thousands of years. and canada is ranked 10th in the world in terms of gdp :) when it comes to economy we're not exactly small potatoes. canada has commonality with pretty much all the western world... but okay

Globalization hasn't been around for thousands of years. How would it have been when globalization largely and primarily depends on transportation and telecommunication, the largest contribution to globalization being the internet. So I'm going to need your definition of globalization here.
justrachna 18th-Nov-2012 02:24 am (UTC)
Transportation has been around for thousands of years. It is how empires were spread to far reaches of the earth. Trade routes, exploration and even invasion and conquering contributed to the spread of culture, influence and ideas. Which is why i don't think globalization will eradicate superpowers or "empires". They have always gone hand in hand. Internet and air travel facilitated globalization but it certainly wasn't the beginning of it. The term globalization is new not the concept. I am not going to do the research for you. Like you said, thr internet is a powerful tool, i am sure you can find all the information you need. Good luck.

Globalization could not have existed for thousands of years hand-in-hand with colonization; I mean, the United States in only 232 years old. I mean, it was discovered just over 500 years ago. Unless your definition of "Globalization" is only taking into consideration Europe, Asia, Middle-East, Northern-Africa. I fail to see how "Globalization" isn't a new concept (since the term has only really been used in the last two decade) when the inter-connectivity of the world is relatively young itself. Globalization doesn't mean cultures in certain parts the world mixing together, it means cultures all over the world becoming centralized with certain characteristics that are common in all of them: i.e. the internet, consumerism, and the most popular notion: westernization of almost all dominant cultures (an aspect of globalization I am not comfortable with).

I accept the definition of Globalization to be the westernization of the entire world; not the intermixing of cultures. It's why Globalization isn't necessarily a good thing.

However, I also accept there are many theories of what Globalization means, so we'll have to agree to disagree on this, too, I guess.

it will probably be another 50 years but america will go down and someone else will rise up and take it's place. right now it's looking like china, india or apparently brazil with china
