With the Diamonds World Tour now over I'm trying to get out of the habit of giving updates on Rihanna's life and adventures. That's because me giving Rihanna this sort of special treatment helps to mark her out from her peers. This sort of quarantine has an extremely detrimental effect on Rihanna's career. For example in all the review of the years shows that have been on TV in the UK recentely everyone seemed almost afraid to mention Rihanna by name despite the fact they all clearly wanted to.
As for what Rihanna has been up to recently basically she spent the time around Christmas at home in Barbados surrounded by close friends and family. This was obviously a nightmare for Rihanna's CIA handlers/Live Nation (the management) because if Rihanna is able to rest, relax and reflect she becomes less vulnerable and therefore more difficult of manipulate and exploit. Therefore management were hard at work trying to make sure that Rihanna did get to enjoy her time off too much.
The main part of this has been the Jai McMath case. For those of you who have not been following Jai McMath was a 13 year old girl from California, US who went into hospital just before Christmas for routine throat surgery. Due to what seems like genuine bad luck Jai suffered complications and died the following day. Unfortunately the McMath family have had some trouble accepting this and mounted a series of legal challenges to keep Jai on life support despite the general consensus from the global medical community that she is in fact wholly and totally dead.
Trying to muster up all the tact I can manage being compared to Jai McMath is hardly complimentary to Rihanna. All the discussions about whether Jai is dead and whether she is to be removed from life support have been intended to make Rihanna paranoid about whether her career is now over and whether management are going to withdraw their support. That said with management's intention being to destroy Rihanna and her career the removal of their support isn't she should necessarily fear. The actual legal battles surrounding Jai McMath have involved the issuing of a restraining order which could be interpreted as a reference to the fact Chris Brown now really should be under a restraining order keeping him away from Rihanna. The McMath's have also indicated that they intend to sue the hospital involved which could be interpreted as a reference to Rihanna's long running legal action against Berdon LLP.
Beyond causing Rihanna stress the management's other intention was to use the Jai McMath story as a way to convince other nations that something was genuinely being discussed regarding Rihanna in an effort to keepinterest up and momentum going. Being hard pressed by their involvement in Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR) the French were the first to crack using Micheal Schumacher's skiing accident which involved similar issues of brain injury to mount a series of enquiries mainly about why I hadn't told them what was going on.
With US Secretary of State John Kerry visiting the region on January 1st (1/1/14) Israel attempted to kill the McMath story off by announcing that former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was in an "extremely critical (condition) following very serious (organ) failures". Having died of a stroke in 2005 Sharon has been kept in a coma on life support for the past 8 years. The fact that Israel used the opportunity of the Israel/Palestine peace talks to lecture the US over Rihanna indicates that there is little hope of those talks amounting to anything. That's because through the Rihanna operation and the Syria situation the US has forfeited its right to lecture anybody about anything.
Added to the pressure of the McMath story Cara Delevinge - acting largely on her own initiative - also spent the time around Christmas in Barbados where she was no doubt constantly on the phone trying to secure an audience with Rihanna. Drake was also apparently to trying to invite himself to Barbados to spend New Year's Eve with Rihanna in order to fuel speculation that the pair were dating again. So in the end Rihanna decided to fly back to New York City to host a News Year's Eve party. This struck me as a very neat trick that allowed Rihanna to compete in the annual celebrity New Years Eve competition and spend time with people in her wider social circle while still managing to keep them at arms length. In the end Drake seemed to get the message and actually ended up spending New Year's Eve in Florida.
Yesterday (4/1/14) a small, private plane made an emergency landing on a highway in New York. This was the US enquiring as to whether the serious failure the Israelis were referring too was the way that Rihanna was forced to spend New Year's Eve in New York or the fact that Rihanna had been able to move to New York to avoid Chris Brown. Today the US' Saudi masters joined in with a passenger plane carrying Iranian pilgrims making a crash landing in Medina. With John Kerry arriving in Saudi Arabia over the coming hours the US responded with a passenger plane from Canada making a crash landing in New York. This is intended to enquire what the Saudi plane crash all means. After all it is important to know whether the Iranian pilgrims were Sunni pilgrims or Shia pilgrims.
On Friday (3/1/14) the publicity photographs for Rihanna's VivaGlam lipstick which is launched on January 21st (21/1/14) were released. As I explained when it was announced back in November 2013 (5/11/13) VivaGlam is a charitable foundation set up by MAC Cosmetics to tackle HIV/AIDS or more accurately to allow celebrities to pretend that they're doing something to tackle HIV/AIDS. Along with her horrific involvement in UNICEF USA's campaign against the Philippines Rihanna's involvement with VivaGlam is meant to mark the start of her new career as a former celebrity and full time US diplomatic tool concentrating on the delicate and complex areas of charity and international development.
In the publicity photographs Rihanna has been shot through a fish-eye lens meaning that the images are reminiscent of the iconic opening titles of the James Bond films. Being a fictional British super-spy "James Bond" is one of my favourite pseudonyms. Therefore the campaign is intended to reinforce the idea that Rihanna is being kept away from me to prevent me infecting her with the HIV/AIDS I'm suffering from along with - at last count - hepatitis, diabetes, long QT syndrome and I believe thyroid cancer has also recently been added to the list. Sadly if you read the interview Rihanna gave to US Vogue at the time the VivaGlam campaign was announced that lie certainly seems to be being effective in creating a fear that can be used to manipulate Rihanna.
Also there is a James Bond film called "Diamonds Are Forever" so the VivaGlam images also seem to be management declaring that their operation against Rihanna will continue...Forever. Mind you at this point that's likely to be more useful as an attempt to promote discussion about whether management's Rihanna operation is going to continue.
