MAG SWAG: RIHANNA IS GLAMOUR MAGAZINE’S “WOMAN OF THE YEAR”

Rihanna is actually one of Glamour Magazine’s “Women of the Year”, the Bajan beauty shares the title with First Lady Michelle Obama, Serena Williams, and other powerful women in the publication’s December 2009 issue. Glamour snagged an in depth interview with The Good Girl Gone Bad in which she touched on her beatdown drama with ex-boo Chris Brown for the first time in detail, her style, her success and how she poured all of her emotion into her upcoming albu, “Rated R”. Check out these interesting excerpts:

“My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.”

Rihanna also took a moment to reflect on a bit of advice mentor Jay-Z gave her about the challenge of getting people to relate to her as simply a human being.

“Before, there was innocence to me. It was a perfect image. So the minute I did something imperfect, it was a big deal. I think that’s what he was referring to: People forget that after we get to our hotel rooms at night, we take a shower, we watch TV, eat room service and do normal things. Behind it all, we are still human beings.”

So eight months after Chris Brown whooped her ass she decides to finally break her silence?! I’m not buying it one bit! Realtalk, this comes off as a PR Stunt to me because this is definitely perfect timing…her album is scheduled to drop any day now. I guess RiRi’s team is equating sympathy with dollar signs.
