Put On Blast: Rihanna’s Navy Accuses Her Of Lip-Synching, Low Energy And High Ticket Prices During Johannesburg Performance

Rihanna. …another bad concert. Shame. Rihanna Fans Complain About High Ticket Prices Rih, you can’t be charging these high prices and not deliver a quality performance. According to Radar Online Rihanna made history on Sunday night when she became the youngest performer ever to sell out the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. But South African fans will remember the show for another reason: Concertgoers were in an uproar post-show, complaining that Rihanna’s low energy and alleged lip-synching did not justify her high ticket prices. “Ri-Ri Rip-Off!” blared the front page of The Star Johannesburg newspaper on Monday morning. Calling her performance “below-par,” the article cited “allegations that Rihanna was miming some of her songs, did not perform a single costume change, had not performed some of her biggest hits and lacked vitality.” “It was obvious,” staff photographer Sharon Seretlo told the paper of RiRi’s supposed lip-synching. “You know when someone is lip-synching. I was in the Golden Circle [close to the stage]. I could see it.” “I’m a die-hard Rihanna fan, but I was disappointed,” Seretlo continued. “It was like she didn’t give the energy we wanted from her.” Fan Nicole Contini added, “… I don’t feel the ticket prices were fair considering the level of performance.” Prices, though below, $100, were considered high for the local market. Rih just keeps having these bad performances. She needs to put as much focus into her performances as her tattoos. Hit the flip to see Rihanna’s Navy go in on Twitter.

We’ve confirmed … Maino — real name Jermaine Coleman — was initially pulled over around 10:54 PM on September 25 after cops say he was driving his 2008 Bentley around without a front license plate. During the stop, cops discovered that Maino’s license had been suspended for a previous incident — and he shouldn’t have been driving ANY vehicle … let alone one without a license plate. Maino was eventually taken into custody for driving on a suspended license. He was booked and released … and he’s due back in court in November. It ain’t Maino’s first brush with the law — the guy was popped for driving on a suspended license once before in 2010.

Is This 2013 or 1913??? Black Off-Duty Firefighter Manhandled And Threatened With Taser For Waving At White Police Officer

Black Firefighter Forced To The Ground And Threatened For Waving At White Police Officer A black off-duty firefighter is making headlines with his story about being threatened with a taser and forced to the ground for waving at a white police officer who did not recognize him out of uniform. via RTV Channel 6 Indianapolis An Evansville firefighter has filed a formal complaint against a police officer who stopped him during a bicycle ride Tuesday afternoon, threatened him with a stun gun and handcuffed him. George Madison Jr., 38, who is also a youth pastor, said he feared for his safety during the stop, the Evansville Courier and Press reported . According to the police department’s dispatch report , the officers stopped Madison after he “failed to stop on his bike” at an intersection and “raised his right arm (at officers) in an apparent aggravated manor (sic).” Madison admitted that he was not going to stop at the intersection, but he said the officer startled him by making a sudden left turn in front of him. “He did it real fast,” Madison told the Evansville newspaper. “I thought it was one of the guys (police) I knew.” Madison said he has met many police officers through his job and participating in local police/fire events, so he raised his hand to wave at the officers. But Madison said he did not know the officers who stopped him. “The officer jumped out and says, ‘What are you doing throwing your hands up at us?’” Madison told the paper. “He is talking to me as he is coming toward me. I tried to explain, but I couldn’t get a word in edgewise.” Madison said he knew Evansville Police Chief Billy Bolin from their community involvement, so he started to use his cellphone to call Bolin, hoping to diffuse the situation. The officer told Madison to put the phone down then, according to the department’s report, “Madison refused to put his phone down and… postured up and pulled his arm back in an aggressive manor (sic).” Reacting to the perceived aggression, the officer pulled out his stun gun, the report said. “I remember looking down the barrel of a Taser, because (the officer) was gritting his teeth and saying, ‘Don’t make me pull this trigger,’” Madison said. This is just CRAZY! Sounds like something straight out of a scene in the South pre-civil rights movement.

SMH: Former MLB Star Otis Nixon Popped By One-Time After Cops Find Crack In His Car

Damn homie , back in the day you was the man homie. What the hell happened to you? Otis Nixon Arrested For Crack Possession According to TMZ Former MLB star Otis Nixon was arrested over the weekend in Atlanta after cops say they discovered a crack pipe and what appeared to be several crack rocks inside his car … and it seems he’s using the infamous “the crack belongs to my son” defense. According to an incident report from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, 54-year-old Nixon was pulled over just after midnight on Saturday after witnesses called police to report a Dodge Ram weaving all over the road. During the stop, Nixon — who played for the Braves, Indians and Expos — was searched … and cops say they found a pipe for smoking crack cocaine in Nixon’s pants pocket and an item believed to be a crack rock in the driver’s seat. But that’s not all … cops say they found ANOTHER pipe and more suspected crack rocks in the floor board of the driver’s side … along with even more drug paraphernalia. Now get this — according to the report, Nixon told the sheriff’s deputy that the substance they found in his car was indeed crack cocaine, but he said the pipes and drugs belonged to HIS SON and that he had been planning to get rid of the pipe. Police say they conducted field sobriety tests and determined Nixon was NOT under the influence of crack cocaine or alcohol. Nixon was arrested on charges of possession of cocaine and possession of a drug-related object. Nixon — who played 17 seasons in the bigs and stole 620 career bases — is still in custody. Bail has been set at $11,880. We think this might be Nixon’s come to Jesus moment. When your caught by the police with crack in your car, you’ve hit rock bottom. AP
