Seems like her personal narrative is taking a...hmm...veeerrry familiar turn.
Rihanna steps out in her most revealing day look yet... as friends 'urge her to go to rehab to seek help for excessive partying'
It has everything...
Jay Z (So...yeah...the whole "Illuminati" thing)
...AND rehab!!! (or is it "reprogramming"...*cue spooky music*)
We also have some unsubstantiated psychological commentary from gossip magazines:A source told Closer magazine: 'Rihanna has been out of control for months.
'She was supposed to catch a flight back to the UK last week, but she ended up missing it, which was the final straw for management.
'Jay-Z hit the roof when he found out, and told Rihanna, "Go to rehab now or I'll drop you from the label". She's not happy, but she now feels she has no choice.'
So, I wonder...Why is this story so familiar? Can we expect a string of court appearances relating to driving offenses, possibly involving alcohol and/or drugs? Or perhaps she'll start talking in an English accent, shave all her hair off and attacking cars with an umbrella? Or maybe she'll start appearing increasingly disheveled in public, complete with cuts and bruises, before an untimely death aged 27?[Look] magazine claim that Rihanna's symptoms, which include her regular updating of fans by sharing pictures and news on Twitter, are indicative that the singer is suffering from Narcisstic Personality Disorder - 'a constant need for attention and admiration'.
I must admit a kind of morbid fascination with the whole gossip blog phenomenon and the starlet downward spirals documented (or manufactured) by them. It really does seem that this "downward spiral" narrative is being replayed with some regularity...along with some pop-psychology nonsense pointing to some imaginary personality disorder...and once again, female. Are we being given an yet another "archetype"...the true role model for the next generation of women, thinly veiled under the guise of "cautionary tale"?
Like I completely understand if this fascination is not shared by others, but anyhoo...puttin' it out there.
