Rihanna Has a Mohawk!

Rihanna's new mohawk -- will this trend take off? Photo: X17online.com

Rihanna has been spotted in NYC sporting a new 'do -- a mohawk!

The mega-star is certainly no stranger to starting beauty trends; um, the asymmetric, angled bob of '07 that resulted in a firestorm of copy-cuts from coast to coast. (We're pretty sure there are still some folks out there clinging to this one.)

But a mohawk? It takes a lot of guts to buzz your hair off, so I've got to give props to someone willing to take a beauty risk, especially when so many celebrities play it safe, leaving us with nothing to gossip about.

Singer Cassie is an exception, she recently flaunted a freshly-shaved look -- one side of her head is basically bald.

I really doubt mohawks will catch on as a national trend, and maybe that's why Rihanna did it. I'd get pretty sick of everyone copying my hair, too!

Mohawks are fierce. Love them. Glad someone ain't afriad to chop it off. Some people cling on to it like it's life support. It's just hair, and a short do never hurt anyone.

Working as an esthetician I always get people asking what they can do about their wrinkles and cellulite. For wrinkles I tell them about Beauty Lift http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com and how it is an incredible anti-aging, anti-wrinkle cream that contains the most potent, doctor grade, wrinkle erasing ingredients that tone and tighten the skin for a smoother, younger face. It's much better, safer, and less expensive than Botox. They always come back to tell me how great it is and how much younger they look. It’s a great product and I back it up 100%. http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com

For cellulite problems I always recommend CelluRez http://cli.gs/CelluliteSolutions a cellulite toning system that is clinically proven to smooth cellulite and firm in as little as 72 hours.

I'm sure most of you have already seen the sex vid from a couple months ago of Rihanna but if you haven't they have it over at http://jjpeg.com/watch2888.html for free (you have to pay usually so I don't know how long that link will work)

Wow.. it is amazing how critical people are about people. Reading all the statements... it is really depression how this world will call out people and cut them down to nothing..... It is so sad. What shallow, shallow people... She is a beautiful woman...... she may not be the best looking woman in the word but she is a beautiful person. you people are heartless.

and Joe willie...... no one ever deserves to get smacked or hit.. it is ignorant people that would ever think that.

I work have lost nineteen pounds. My secret to weight loss is working out in the morning on an empty stomach and taking all natural ACAI eez. ACAI eez suppresses the appetite, increases my metabolism, and gives me a natural energy boost that doesn't cause me to crash. ACAI eez NEVER auto ships or auto bills so I know thatI can order without having to worry. I always order the Buy 3 get 1 free at http://www.acaieez.com

This proves, at least to me, that Rihanna's music is worthless. The headline is NOT, "Rihanna's new album rocks" or "With a voice like Rihanna's, looks are just the encore". No the best thing this woman has to offer is a new hair style.

She's beautiful even with that hairtstyle.Most women could NEVER get away with that.I guess she wants to look edgy.I still think she'd look even better with long hair.Most women do!Still, ...good for her that she can rock any look!lol.

Maybe if you spelt lesbian correctly your post would have some substance. Wait, no it wouldn't. It sickens me how easy it is to be judgmental. You should probably take a step back and worry about yourself for a minute. And if she happened to like girls, you should consider a sex change because otherwise you'd never have a chance.

How can anyone in their right mind do such a horrible thing to themselves. That is worse than those stupid tatoos that degrade a woman and make them look cheap. OMG What next?
