Rihanna previewed her Rated R Album at the Brixton Academy On Monday night, tickets were free and could be won via the nokia live website or by bringing a Nokia handset to the Nokia Flagship Store on Regent Street and asking a member of staff for a free ticket, all 500 tickets were gone by 3pm. The show which was streamed online started at 8pm and was done and dusted within 30 minutes. Highlights included  appearances from Jay-Z and Young Jeezy but the crowd seemed very sterile and a majority of journalists described the show as awesome despite the fact that Rihanna needed a backing vocals to sing sitting in a chair, I enjoyed the show from home however it was too short and I was expecting greater things from Rihanna this time around. Rated R is a good studio album but I feel Rihanna just wasn’t bringing it live like she should have been for this exclusive album preview which included performances of three tracks (The wait is over, Hard ft young Jeezy and Russian Roulette). Rihanna did look stunning and naturally beautiful in HD. A friend who actually attended said that Rihanna live was “rubbish, underwhelming and shit.” Highlight of the show Jay Z and Young Jeezy. At around 10.30pm, on the way out the driver did not close the boot of the van and Rhianna’s luggage spilled out all over the road. After the luggage was locked away, Rihanna and her entourage headed for some sushi at Nozomi. They then headed to Mahiki nightclub to party until 3am, where she was joined by Jay-Z and Beyonce.

Beyonce Knowles really was not lying when she claimed that she was a “Hip hop star, a rock star”on her Dangerously In Love album. When she took to the stage at o2 London amazing fans with a mind blowing show on Monday 16th November. having attended two dates of the I Am Tour in London I can say that each and every night is an amazing show and because the vocal is live and the energy is high you never know what to expect as Beyonce constantly steps her game up, sometimes with the help of artists who have featured on some of the hottest Beyonce tracks. Monday night which was the finale of her shows at the 02 Arena London for 2009 was no exception as Beyonce set pulses raising by crowd surfing during her performance of Halo. Beyonce was note perfect and or was that was Sacha Fierce! Without a shadow of a doubt Beyonce is Wavy.

The documentary titled is titled “The Carter” a behind the scenes access all areas film that even captures Wayne’s alleged addiction to cough syrup. The Film shown at Sundance film festival was originally planned to be released in cinemas however a dispute between Lil Wayne and producers lead to The New Orleans self declared greatest rapper alive taking legal action claiming that producers had breeched the contractual agreement giving him final edit of the documentary. The court rejected the claim and therefore the film is being released on DVD. According to NME online magazine “Pre-orders for the film are currently being taken by QD3 and are set to ship on November 17, although at the moment it’s only available to those in the US.”

Louis Vuitton launched a collection inspired by Stephen Sprouse at the New York SoHo store back in January 2009. This skateboard was one of the 2 limited edition pieces available at the store. The Louis Vuitton skateboard which comes with the Monogram Louis Vuitton Trunk cost $8,250 (£5,506) and has sold out. I am looking forward to the new year to see what fantastical piece Louis Vuitton will place in their concept store in New York for 2010, the attention to detail and quality of the handmade trunk really is superb.

Rihanna talks to Diana Sawyer regarding the truth about what factors contributed to a loving relationship  escalating into an abusive relationship. Rihanna also discusses her reasoning for going back to Chris and her thoughts and feelings towards Chris after the incident happened. I respect the fact that Rihanna has broken her silence and is using her own experience to empower others going through the same situation, to discuss everything that happened is an act of bravery in my opinion and the ending of their relationship is for the greater good and can inspire others to save their own lives. Domestic violence actually kills and scars not only physically but emotionally, despite the fact that bruises can fade the vignettes of abuse can never be forgotten.  Youtube have a social responsibility to keep this on the website I would be shocked to see this pulled down due to copyright laws.
