Lena Dunham may think Rhianna is the ultimate Role Model, but Many Would Disagree

Girls may have come to an end, but it appears that Lena Dunham isn't done talking about it, just yet.

Recently, she spoke of how she was surprised that people felt uncomfortable with her revealing performance in Girls, and that "I have always been like Rihanna to myself, like, I just have a great time with my own body."

Reality check, Lena. Many people are uncomfortable with revealing performances, and it's not just because your body is not like Rihanna's. Many people equally don't want to see you or Rihanna (or anyone else) that way. From what I know, Girls actually lost some would have been fans because of this.

And no, not everyone likes Rihanna either. There are probably several reasons that Taylor Swift is more popular than Rihanna. I guess having some modesty may be one of them. And no, I am not being judgemental. I don't care what Lena decides to do. But if she wants success, she needs to accept feedback from audiences.

Perhaps learn a bit from Taylor Swift, and you may get more success. She's your friend after all, right?

I was just Asking for Equality with Miley and Rihanna, Actually

About a year ago I wrote a short article titled 'Freedom is a Two Way Street', which was controversial with some readers. Specifically, it dealt with the idea that whilst I believe people should have freedom under the law to choose whatever way they want to live as long as it does not hurt others, other people (like myself) should be similarly entitled to promote a different lifestyle, and people should not be offended because of this. Maybe the tone of what I wrote sounded harsh. But I still think it's a very valid point to make. Let me explain further here.

People are entitled to their own beliefs, and are entitled to share them with the world as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else. People like me will generally share with the world what we believe to be great lifestyle choices, because we want to enable more people to live happier lives. It should be seen as a noble intention, I think you would agree. It is my strong belief that it's very unwise to use drugs 'recreationally', whether it's marijuana or something else. Therefore, it's my strong passion to share this idea with others. What I was frustrated about (and still am somewhat frustrated about) is how some celebrities go out and promote the opposite of this (e.g. Miley Cyrus, Rihanna) and people think it's cool, but how my ideas seem so much more controversial, when freedom of speech should dictate that we have equal rights to speak out on any given topic. It's not like I'm judgemental or something like that, right?

Freedom of speech should mean that we don't shout down others for whatever ideas they promote, whether you like the idea in question or not. Peer pressure to make certain ideas taboo is a very dangerous idea. Society should never go there, really.

Rihanna, Marijuana and Instagram

Rihanna has taken to Instagram to make her stance on marijuana known. Now there is a photo of her wearing a T-shirt with a marijuana leaf logo.

I am personally supportive of decriminalising marijuana. I guess I just don't agree with sending people to jail over a lifestyle choice that does not appear to harm others, and potentially break up families as a result.

However, I personally think what Rihanna is doing is glorification of marijuana use, something which I really don't agree with. I mean, people should have the right to do whatever they want, but think about this: marijuana is harmful to human brains. Therefore, to me, glorification of marijuana use is like glorification of smoking regular cigarettes, which has been almost universally condemned as effectively promoting lung cancer. It is utterly irresponsible behaviour.

Another reason to continue my Rihanna boycott, I guess.

Rihanna on We Are Young?

Fun.'s We Are Young was a hit last year. I guess I'll never know why, I hated that song. But it could have been worse.

Apparently producer Jeff Bhasker considered Rihanna for a part in the song.

Now I used to like Rihanna, but 'Good Girl Gone Bad' changed everything. Anybody calling their album that should not deserve to have fans at all, in my opinion.
