Always up for showing off her flawless figure, Rihanna posted a few snapshots of herself in the Dominican Republic on Wednesday (October 30).
While enjoying some downtime, the "Stay" hitmaker took to her Instagram account with the pics, in which she donned a pink and orange bikini.



Recently, the 25-year-old singer made comments about the various "wildlife" she experienced while staying on the exotic island, including a situation that involved her room at the hotel.
"What de rasshooolllleee!! I just get run out my room from a bat, a grasshopper, and a roach de size of a bat!! Only in the #DR," Rihanna tweeted after the unfortunate event.
Although she had that run in with the local animals, that doesn't seem to stop Ri-Ri from having fun.

Justin Bieber Sparks a Graffiti Revolution in Colombia

Ten days ago, when he sneaked out from his hotel to do some graffiti on a 40 meters long gray wall of 26th Street in Bogota, Colombia, Justin Bieber most probably didn't imagine he would stir a heated debate and provoke a chain reaction, which ended up legitimizing graffiti and urban art.

Initially, the image broadcasted by Colombian media was disconcerting. In an area of the city where graffiti are banned, the image showed Justin Bieber painting a marijuana leaf and the Canadian flag, while the police provided him with security, even closing one of the busy street's lane. To the thousands of graffiti artists around Colombia, who have been often harassed by law enforcement, the image was like a slap in the face. In fact, in August 2011, a police officer shot and killed an unarmed 16 years old kid, Diego Felice Becerra, while he was spraying graffiti in an area similar to the one where Justin Bieber did his. The autopsy report revealed that Diego Felipe was shot in the back from close range.

At first Colombian graffiti writers unleashed their frustration through the social media, venting against both the police and the young Canadian celebrity, but on second thought they realized Justin Bieber had just served them with a golden opportunity. They said: if Justin Bieber can do it, then also Colombian graffiti writers should able to spray with colors and art the city's gray walls, and if the police protected Justin Bieber, then they should protect graffiti writers as well, instead of harassing them, of confiscating their sprays, of jailing them, of killing them, as it happened with Diego Felipe Becerra.

The image of Justin Bieber spraying graffiti put the Colombian police in an awkward position. They could no longer sustain a double moral they have been practicing without much embarrassment: one for the privileged and one for everyone else. Following the incident and responding to the country's outrage, the head of the Colombian police, general Rodolfo Palomino, spoke of graffiti as a positive art that expresses "emotions and motivation", and of the need for society and the police to evolve.

Motivated by what Justin Bieber had set in motions, Colombian graffiti writers have taken action. In Bogota, without no permission in their hand, 300 artists came from nowhere and from everywhere and occupied the area where Justin Bieber had sprayed his graffiti, and during 24 hours wrote more than 700 graffiti. "Justin Bieber was the cause for all of this to happen. The poor dude had no idea what he sparked," said one of the young graffiti writers. Don Popo, a pioneer of hip hop in Colombia and who has been working on marginalized youth empowerment for 25 years, commented:

    We worked until dawn, giving our bodies and souls. We worked with discipline, devotion and energy, sharing our little money to complete a work that can never be taken away. Because of what Justin Bieber sparked, we became aware of ourselves, of the fact that we are a movement; we became aware of our own rights"

The initiative of graffiti writers in Bogotá spread like fire to other major cities across Colombia, setting on fire the spirits and the motivations of dozens and dozens of graffiti writers. Last weekend in Medellin, more than 70 graffiti writers occupied a main street and sprayed for 24 hours. Today, it was the turn of almost hundreds artists in Cali, one of the most violent cities in the world. And now, they are organizing in other Colombian cities, like Pasto, Manizales, Bucaramanga, etc. It's what I have come to call the Justin Bieber snowball effect.

In Bogota, Medellin and Cali, the police arrived, sometimes threatening the graffiti writers to confiscate their sprays, but when reminded that law enforcement had allowed Justin Bieber to spray and had even protected him, they desisted and in some cases even helped the dozens of graffiti writers, despite the fact that they were spring in forbidden areas.

In a creative and nonviolent manner, graffiti artists in Colombia educated all of us about the essence of graffiti art: to be an act of resistance and defiance, which affirms the will to redefine public space as a space of inclusion, participation, and engagement.

In Bogota, the parents of the assassinated young graffiti writer went to greet the participants in the event. There were tears and deep commotion when they showed up. "Our son was one of you," said the mother, "his death was very painful, but if the purpose behind this tragedy is to create a more tolerant society and to legitimize graffiti as an art, then Felipe from heaven will be satisfied."

Tila is also known for having close to two million MySpace friends.

A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila: MTV's A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila, aired in 2007.
The premise of the show was that Tila, a self-identified bisexual, was on a quest to find love from among both male and female contestants.
The show has been has been called everything from offensive to the worst reality TV show yet. Still, it had a strong following.
At the end of the season, Tila picked a male contestant. However, reports that the "relationship" had fizzled soon surfaced. Shortly after this, MTV announced that there would be a second season of the show.

Responses From the Bisexual Community: Sheela Lambert, the founder of the Bi Writers Association, blogged about her concerns with the show on the Huffington Post:

"The bi community spends much of its time fighting stereotypes and myths that don't accurately reflect who we are. People tend to associate us solely with our sexuality and forget that, like everyone else, we have other aspects to our lives. We fear that this show is more likely to add fuel to the fire of bisexual stereotypes, than to put them out." 

Another view appeared in an article originally published in American Sexual Magazine. Nicole Kristal, a bisexual writer, says that despite the shows flaws:

Tila responded to these allegations on her website saying,
"One minute, back in the day when I was still modeling, people talked...about me for being "lesbian" for shooting sexy pictures with other females and now I'm too "straight" come one....who's really the confused one here? Definitely not me! HA!"

Lady Gaga - Hot & Sexy Lady

Lady Gaga

Bio
When Lady Gaga was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in daddy’s arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The precocious child would dance around the table at fancy Upper West Side restaurants using the breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit.
It’s no wonder that little girl from a good Italian New York family, turned into the exhibitionist, multi-talented singer-songwriter with a flair for theatrics that she is today: Lady Gaga.

“I was always an entertainer. I was a ham as a little girl and I’m a ham today,” says Lady Gaga, 23, who made a name for herself on the Lower East Side club scene with the infectious dance-pop party song “Beautiful Dirty Rich,” and wild, theatrical, and often tongue-in-cheek “shock art” performances where Gaga – who designs and makes many of her stage outfits -- would strip down to her hand-crafted hot pants and bikini top, light cans of hairspray on fire, and strike a pose as a disco ball lowered from the ceiling to the orchestral sounds of A Clockwork Orange.

“I always loved rock and pop and theater. When I discovered Queen and David Bowie is when it really came together for me and I realized I could do all three,” says Gaga, who nicked her name from Queen’s song “Radio Gaga” and who cites rock star girlfriends, Peggy Bundy, and Donatella Versace as her fashion icons. “I look at those artists as icons in art. It’s not just about the music. It’s about the performance, the attitude, the look; it’s everything. And, that is where I live as an artist and that is what I want to accomplish.”
That goal might seem lofty, but consider the artist: Gaga is the girl who at age 4 learned piano by ear. By age 13, she had written her first piano ballad. At 14, she played open mike nights at clubs such as New York’s the Bitter End by night and was teased for her quirky, eccentric style by her Convent of the Sacred Heart School (the Manhattan private school Nicky and Paris Hilton attended) classmates by day. At age 17, she became was one of 20 kids in the world to get early admission to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Signed by her 20^th birthday and writing songs for other artists (such as the Pussycat Dolls, and has been asked to write for a series of Interscope artists) before her debut album was even released, Lady Gaga has earned the right to reach for the sky.

“My goal as an artist is to funnel a pop record to a world in a very interesting way,” says Gaga, who wrote all of her lyrics, all of her melodies, and played most of the synth work on her album, The Fame (Streamline/KonLive/Cherrytree/Interscope). “I almost want to trick people into hanging with something that is really cool with a pop song. It’s almost like the spoonful of sugar and I’m the medicine.”

On The Fame, it’s as if Gaga took two parts dance-pop, one part electro-pop, and one part rock with a splash of disco and burlesque and generously poured it into the figurative martini glasses of the world in an effort to get everyone drunk with her Fame. “The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous,” she explains. “Pop culture is art. It doesn’t make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over The Fame. But, it’s a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.”
The CD’s opener and first single, “Just Dance,” gets the dance floor rocking with it’s “fun, L.A., celebratory vibe.” As for the equally catchy, “Boys Boys Boys,” Gaga doesn’t mind wearing her influences on her sleeve. “I wanted to write the female version of Motley Crue’s ‘Girls Girls Girls,’ but with my own twist. I wanted to write a pop song that rockers would like.”

“Beautiful Dirty Rich” sums up her time of self-discovery, living in the Lower East Side and dabbling in drugs and the party scene. “That time, and that song, was just me trying to figure things out,” says Gaga. “Once I grabbed the reigns of my artistry, I fell in love with that more than I did with the party life.” On first listen, “Paparazzi” might come off as a love song to cameras, and in all honestly, Gaga jokes “on one level it IS about wooing the paparazzi and wanting fame. But, it’s not to be taken completely seriously. It’s about everyone’s obsession with that idea. But, it’s also about wanting a guy to love you and the struggle of whether you can have success or love or both.”

Gaga shows her passion for love songs on such softer tracks as the Queen-influenced “Brown Eyes” and the sweet kiss-off break-up song “Nothing I can Say (eh eh).” “‘Brown Eyes’ is the most vulnerable song on the album,” she explains. “‘Eh Eh’ is my simple pop song about finding someone new and breaking up with the old boyfriend.”
For the new tour for this album, fans will be treated to a more polished version of what they saw (and loved) at her critically acclaimed Lollapalooza show in August 2007 and Winter Music Conference performance in March 2008. “This new show is the couture version of my handmade downtown performance of the past few years. It’s more fine-tuned, but some of my favorite elements to my past shows – the disco balls, hot pants, sequin, and stilettos – will still be there. Just more fierce and more of a conceptual show with a vision for pop performance art.”

It’s been a while since a new pop artist has made her way in the music industry the old-fashioned/grass roots way by paying her dues with seedy club gigs and self-promotion. This is one rising pop star who hasn’t been plucked from a model casting call, born into a famous family, won a reality TV singing contest, or emerged from a teen cable TV sitcom. “I did this the way you are supposed to. I played every club in New York City and I bombed in every club and then killed it in every club and I found myself as an artist. I learned how to survive as an artist, get real, and how to fail and then figure out who I was as singer and performer. And, I worked hard.”
Gaga adds with a wink in her eye, “And, now, I’m just trying to change the world one sequin at a time.”
