*--------Who Killed Rihanna?----------*

Finally, Ronald Fenty, a warehouse supervisor in Caribbean island of Barbados has denied all press accusations of being responsible for the death of 21st Century, Pop Start, and Singer Robyn Rihanna Fenty, it hence pertinent that the death of Rihanna could be set to something beyond a physical mortem but a psychological carnage of fame.

The intense attention brought by fame is a mixed blessing rather than an unalloyed benefit. Stars seem more prone to destructive behavior, including alcoholism, accidents, ulcers and suicide. "If you wish to live long, don't become famous," states an old Jewish proverb.

Kim Fowles, author of Starstruck, conducted a statistical study showing that top celebrities die young. Circa 1974 the average American male died at age 68 but the average male celebrity died at 59. The gap for women is even larger. Seventy-five was the average life expectancy for American women but it was only 54 for female celebrities.

Many of the problems of stars spring from the heavy psychological burdens of fame. Stars seek the love of the crowd out of personal insecurity, but the receipt of approval typically feeds their insecurities. Fame‑seekers are trying to fill a personal void by looking to others for affirmation. This quest nourishes and magnifies their fears by addressing symptoms rather than causes. The more a person looks to others for approval, the more that approval becomes needed. The approbation becomes a benchmark for happiness, making the fame‑seeker an unhappy slave to the wills and passions of others.

I feel these same effects myself, even when experiencing very small victories, such as seeing David Bowie. I start to invest psychological capital in seeking the approval of my friends who are impressed by this fact, and I thereby lose some of my autonomy. I lose some control over how I actually want to direct my life and I become separated from my true preferences. The famous experience the same problems but at much more potent levels.

The addiction of fame is an unhappy one, especially at the highest levels of renown. The famous seek an ongoing string of triumphs, but eventually they run out of victories. They reach the point where further achievements are either impossible or do not bring new rewards. Bowie probably will never make another album as good as Ziggy Stardust, and Iman will never regain her modeling fame. They have already processed the excitement from those accolades and now face the question of where to go and what to do next.

When failure comes, as it must sooner or later, the psyche of the famous person is left hanging in the wind. Stars who are motivated by an initial need to be loved live in a world where eventual rejection is inevitable. The famous who have been feasting on praise and sycophancy deal poorly with failure.

Ronald Fenty who happens to be the biological father of popularly called singer, 'Rihanna,' has said that yes, he hadn't been the best father to the once tender hearted queen of the Carribean, but can not be any way blamed for the current wayward lifestyle(death) of his daughter, Rihanna.

I personally had once been a fan of this singer when the goings were good, or better to say, when she was yet head leveled. I had watched her video that day "One step at a time," and seeing the way she adorned herself in such a modest appareal, I thought a new singer in the niche of country music was out in the block, not knowing for me it were all signs of the neophyte and that she was going to grow off it and come into her real self, but more shocking is how she'd actually grown into... now a porn nymph.

Rihanna is dead!


Singer Robyn Rihanna Fenty was born on February 20, 1988, in St. Michael Parish on the Caribbean island of Barbados. She is the eldest of three children born to Monica Fenty, an accountant, and Ronald Fenty, a warehouse supervisor. Rihanna's childhood was marred by her father's struggles with addictions to alcohol and crack cocaine and her parents' marital problems—they divorced when she was 14 years old.

However, since that time, Rihanna's father has managed to conquer his addictions and the pair are now very close. "Now my dad is like the coolest person on the planet," Rihanna says. "He doesn't smother me. He lets me live my life. And he's been like that a lot, even when I was younger. He would watch me making a mistake and he wouldn't stop me. My dad, he lets me make it and then I learn."

Rihanna also struggled with crippling headaches for several years during her childhood, a condition she attempted to hide from her friends and classmates so that they would not think she was abnormal. "I never expressed how I felt," she remembers. "I always kept it in. I would go to school ... you would never know there was something wrong with me."

As a teenager, Rihanna turned to singing as a release from her troubles at home. She formed a girl group with two classmates; when they were 15 years old, they scored an audition with music producer Evan Rodgers, who was visiting the island with his Barbadian wife. Rogers was awed by the precociously beautiful and phenomenally talented Rihanna, to the unfortunate detriment of her two friends. "The minute Rihanna walked into the room, it was like the other two girls didn't exist," he admitted.

Less than a year later, when Rihanna was only 16 years old, she left Barbados to move in with Rogers and his wife in Connecticut and work on recording a demo album. "When I left Barbados, I didn't look back," Rihanna recalled. "I wanted to do what I had to do, even if it meant moving to America."

"I guess this was where her trouble began," an observer once remarked. "It was her quest for fame and not her father earlier behaviors that led to her death."
