• So, it turns out Chris Brown‘s half woman, half skull neck tattoo is not a depiction of a battered Rihanna at all. The singer’s people explained that the tat is a combination of a Dios de los Muertos sugar skull and a M.A.C cosmetics face chart.
“It is not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported.” This new information makes this tattoo only slightly less unsightly. (TMZ)
• For those lacking simple Google skills, Harper’s Bazaar has unveilied their new e-commerce site, ShopBazaar. Now, instead of simply typing “Giuseppe Zanotti gold sandal” into a search engine, you can go straight to the website to shop for items straight from the pages of Harper’s Bazaar. (WWD)
• Just 48 hours after their Spring 2013 show, creative director Yvan Mispelaere announced his abrupt departure from DVF. The label will not look for a replacement, but will instead continue under the leadership of Diane von Furstenberg. Said Mispleare: “I came to DVF to help further the brand’s mission and create a world-class design team. I am confident we have been able to achieve that during my time with the company. I can’t thank Diane enough for the opportunity to work with her and such talented people. The group is now well-positioned for even greater success, and I am eager to take on my next challenge.” (Telegraph)

Either Chris is a narcissist or he doesn’t have anyone in his camp to tell him right from wrong. Anyone else would have put two and two together, and knew that media would automatically assume that the picture depicted Rhianna is some form or fashion.

the tattoo artist didn’t do a good job so don’t blame Chris. it’s quite obvious what he wanted. you ppl are so ignorant.

Chris’ new tatoo is a huge fail. Can’t blame us for not getting it.

Tattoo fans know this tattoo is hot and doesnt resemble a battered woman or RhiRhi – skulls/half dead faces…no biggie.
However, the publicist in me says that Chris shouldve anticipated this outcry and probably was attracted to the tat on an unconscious level because of the whole RhiRhi issue.
Mostly, I dont care.

If you thought that tattoo looked like Rihanna, you’re really, really slow.
That tattoo looked NOTHING like Rihanna.
People will find drama when there simply isn’t any.
