Pastor Poised To Be First Black To Lead Southern Baptists
NEW YORK (CBS) Following in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga, pop star Rihanna now also has a wax statue courtesy of Madame Tussauds.
According to CNN.com, The 22-year-old 'Rude Boy' singer's wax figure recalls the singer's trend-setting blonde cropped hairdo from 2009 and is clothed in an all-black Balmain ensemble she wore to the designer's runway show during Spring 2010 Fashion Week in Paris.
Rihanna posed next to her likeness, puckering her lips to give a smooch, in an image posted on her Twitter account.

Did the wax figure have the black eye that punk Chris Brown gave her?

That wasn't nice and neither was the misleading headline.

And that was suppose to be funny... If Chris Brown would have posted something on twitter about it, you people would have made a big deal of it, but you can joke and have a misleading article and we should laugh! DOUBLE STANDARD!!!!!!

Is all of this earthly treasures worth it? Is it worth selling your soul out to a fallen angel? I hope that fallen angel can save you and all the rest of you who chase this worldly fame and fortune. In time it all will be gone. In Proverbs it spells it all out. In Eclessiaties it calls worldly goods vanity. No matter what you do in this life if you don't make it into God's kingdom,your life is an complete waste. Your salvation is in your hands,what's more important. Worldly gains or being in God's kingdom,it's your choice.
