Rihanna: Rachel Dolezal is a Hero!

Earlier today, we shared some highlights from Rihanna’s new Vanity Fair interview. As always, the 27-year-old Barbadian songstress had plenty of surprising things to say. For starters, she hates casual sex (not something we would’ve guessed from RiRi’s Instagram page ), and she’s completely forgiven Chris Brown. But the most quote from her remarkably candid profile involved Rihanna’s thoughts on Rachel Dolezal. You may remember Dolezal as the NAACP leader who pretended to be black and got busted on live TV back in June. “I think she was a bit of a hero, because she kind of flipped on society a little bit,” Rih sayd when asked about Dolezal. “Is it such a horrible thing that she pretended to be black? Black is a great thing, and I think she legit changed people’s perspective a bit and woke people up.” Maybe she’s right, and Dolezal helped to spark a national conversation about race. Of course, she’s been all but completely forgotten about just a few months after her ordeal, so whatever impact she had seems to have been short-lived. In any event, Dolezal misled hundreds, if not thousands of people and took opportunities away from much more deserving individuals, so the word “hero” might be a bit strong. Anyway, RiRi wouldn’t be RiRi if she wasn’t stirring up controversy. We can’t wait to hear her thoughts on Donald Trump.

Kylie Jenner Hangs With Caitlyn Jenner, Rocks Blue Lips For Bullying Prevention Day

Recently,  Kylie Jenner took up the cause of bullying prevention . As someone who’s spent her entire life in the public eye, it’s a problem with which she had plenty of firsthand experience. After witnessing the hate speech and death threats directed at Caitlyn Jenner  following her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair, Kylie says the cause became even more near and dear to her heart. So what better way to celebrate World Bullying Prevention Day than to step out with Caitlyn Jenner and rock the color of the anti-bullying movement on her famous lips? “Wearing blue lips today in honor of world bullying prevention,” Kylie posted, along with the pic above. “#BlueShirtDay2015 #WorldBullyingPreventionDay wear blue and post a pic with the hashtags! Spread love & you will receive. Nothing can be done if we don’t do it together!” Unfortunately, the same day that Kylie sent a wonderful message to her millions of young fans, she also set a terrible example with yet another “waist training” photo . We don’t give her too much flak, as obviously no one is perfect, and unlike her sisters, Kylie can use the fact that she’s only 18 as an excuse for falling for jumping on board with the world’s dumbest fitness trend. Still, she’s clearly aware of how much influence she carries, and we’re hoping she continues to use it for good, and not for encouraging teens to smush their internal organs in the name of beauty.
