Rihanna's Racy Photos Cost Her Vogue Cover, Plus Jeremih Makes His "Birthday Sex" Video
Posted on June 1, 2009 4:30 PM
We all know the camera loves Rihanna, but after her close (naked) encounter with the cameraphone, Vogue photographers won't be snapping that cover shot of her she wanted so badly.
Apparently those nude photos of Rihanna did a lot more harm than originally though, because Star Magazine is reporting that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour decided to axe a previous offer to feature the pop'n'b starlet.
Prior to the photo leak, Rihanna and Anna had spoken at the Met Costume Institute Gala, and Anna offered her a chance to appear on the cover of her magazine, plus an inside spread.
A source tells Star, ?Anna told her Vogue absolutely loves her and really wanted to work with her. Rihanna was ecstatic.?
But after the photo scandal, the deal was off. Wintour pulled the plug on Rihanna?s cover, and cut off communication with her as well.
The source added, ?Anna hasn?t returned any of her calls. Rihanna?s so upset?.She hopes the people at Vogue change their minds.?
Poor RihRih. I'm sure Vogue will do an about face eventually. I mean, look at Madonna -- she's like a Vogue posterchild now and we all know she was buck wild.
And in other Def Jam related news, "Birthday Sex" singer Jeremih finally made the video to match the song. Check it out below:
Not bad, he's looking really comfortable in front of the camera for a new signee. I hear a lot of folks are up in arms over how "light" (or possibly white) his leading lady is. But you know Rebel don't care...Do you? What do you think of the video? Talk to me y'all!

If she's a beautiful woman, and Jeremih is cool with her, then I see no reason why the color of her skin matters.
I didn't think many people were upset about the light to white girl in the video. This is a problem in a lot of videos. It seem African American women can't get work in their own genres of music anymore. It seem like they will pick a light to white girl even if she butt ass ugly. I mean is that kind of girl cheaper or something. It's pretty sad, I didn't watch the video because I can't stand this dumb ass song and the artist seems pretty corny. I don't even think he can sing, just using some machine mess. I'm glad Rihanna lost the cover to "Vogue" that should teach her and other young stars who take off their clothes and take nude pictures not thinking that there may be consequences to your actions. However I kind of think "Vogue" might be a little hypocritical. Isn't there photo shots in "Vogue" where people are posing nude.
I'm a fan of Jeremih, he's actually a new crush. I love the song and I like the video also but I think that they should've put a black female in it.
