This thread is about Rihanna's new album so don't hijack it with yet another Freemason talk.

It's almost impossible to talk about Rhianna's upcoming new 5th album when the very mentioning of her "Dark Rhianna" not being a profitable image anymore becomes more than enough for the Illuminati-related issue to be brought up once again.

TonyVanDam said:

Well that "image" was made BEFORE Rated R so bringing that up in a whole when the "Good Goirl Gone Bad" promo really has nothing to do with this conversation is besically tabloidish religious sensationalism.

.....and that "image" continued on through Rated R.

omg I told VenusBlingBling that we could have left this on page 3 anyway!

TonyVanDam said:

I bet you guys said nothing when Prince was in the Come stage looking "dark, dreary and pale looking...." a whole bunch of b.s. is what it is and all you guys need to get your head out the gutter. I know everybody got a right to say something but this really is so rediculous it's funny

well dayum...i didn't mean to open a bag of worms.

i was just curious to what all this stuff was that kept popping up in topics on different forums was about.

but anyway...carry on carry on.

one of my favourites of this album.

paisleypark4 said:

Excuse you, but Cinnie & I have name-checked Prince for using "the all-seeing eye" (). And I also had name-checked Prince for having a pyramid on album cover of Lotusflower.

And don't get me started about THAT hand signal Prince used on the album cover of Lovesexy.

Do you own research before you get too quick to criticize your fellow orgers next time.

TonyVanDam said:

It was bullshit then, and it's bullshit now!!!

Paris9748430 said:

....in your opinion of course.

TonyVanDam said:

I thought that was a joke...but Im thinking this is serious right? The pyramid was invented by highly educated individuals for that time. It's not anyones fault that somebody took that and made something negative out of it, to help spite the Egyptians image afterwards.

Anyway Im not going to dive in the mess anymore, however I am not going to be thrilled if Rihanna does any more lame r&b tracks...she really needs to get back into dance pop.

Photographs and CCL could easily be huge.

Mother of Leukemia Victim Lashes Out at Rihanna
Posted Mar 3rd 2010 2:30PM by Nadeska Alexis


Last February, Rihanna publicized the effort to locate a bone marrow doner for 5-year-old New York City resident Jasmina Anema, who was fighting a losing battle with acute leukemia. The singer, who has been a longtime supporter of DKMS America -- the world's largest non-profit marrow donor center -- was vigilant in her efforts to locate a doner but it proved to be a difficult search and Jasmina sadly passed away at six years-old on Jan 27, 2010.

Now, Jasmina's mother, Thea Anema says that she is disappointed in Rihanna for not contacting her after the child's death. A post appeared on Thea's Twitter account this week which read, "It has been a month since Jasmina's passing. Still not even a card or text message from Rihanna. Did she use my child for a publicity stunt?" The post was quickly deleted as it began to appear on a number of blogs and spread like wildfire on Twitter.

Anema then followed up with another Tweet on Monday afternoon (Mar. 1) addressing her previous words. "Apparently there are some negative blogs out there. For the record, Rihanna has been nothing but really nice!!!" she wrote. Anema later contacted People Magazine, saying that she had not penned the controversial tweet. "Friends have helped me with all kinds of stuff and many know the passwords to my personal e-mail, the Caringbridge site and also Twitter," Anema said. "Although I did not tweet this particular one, I do wish that Rihanna had responded to me on Jasmina's passing. It would have meant the world to me." Anema told the magazine that she did not mean any harm, but she was simply unable to stifle her grief. "Jasmina adored her," she told People. "Rihanna was so kind to come and visit her. I just felt hurt not hearing anything from her. Or of any other celebrities for that matter. The only ones who reached out to me personally during this time of grief were the Obamas."

Although personal contact between Rihanna and Anema cannot be verified, Ri-Ri did make public acknowlegedment of Jasmina's passing during the recent Super Bowl festivities in Miami. The 21-year-old singer told the Associated Press that she would remember Jasmina fondly. "She was a very free, fun spirited little girl, full of energy, always happy, always energetic," Ri-Ri said. "I always remember she wouldn't sit still. She was always running around, always had a smile on her face."

What is she supposed to do? Maybe Rihanna didn't know yet?
