Rihanna actually tattoo the words "Thug Life" onto her fists? The
slimmest majority of you remain convinced the singer wouldn't have the
gall to actually go through with the ink job. And yet, her tweets, and
that one picture circulating the Internet, tell a different story.

And while some fans will surely embrace her new tat, others
will undoubtedly wind up scratching their heads in bemusement. Because
here's the thing: Thugs aren't usually millionaires who ride elliptical
machines in skimpy bikinis. Nor are they typically chart-topping pop
stars who have been named the Sexiest Woman Alive.
The
phrase "Thug Life" has long been associated with Tupac, the late rap
legend who performed Shakespeare in his youth, and later lived in Marin
County, one of the most affluent locales in the nation. But facts can
be deceiving. Yes, he grew up in Manhattan, but his family lived in
East Harlem, not the Upper West Side. And as for his life in Marin?
Well, 'Pac moved to Marin City, a place known for its crime, poverty,
and drug abuse.
For her part, RiRi grew up in a
bungalow,
helping her crack-addict father peddle shirts on the street. So her
life hasn't always been so rosy. And it's not like she tattooed Drake's
name onto her forehead. So maybe we have no right to judge.

Or maybe we should turn our attention to another pop singer --
one who enjoys posing provocatively in front of drying machines, hates
her own music, and loves penis cake. Yes, penis cake.
Our
in-house dessert guru tells us the correct terminology is "erotic
cake," but judging from the (uncensored) picture TMZ posted, we're
content with our original word choice. As the story goes, she bought the
X-rated treat for boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's birthday earlier this
month, hence the words "Happy Birthday Liam" seen written in red icing.
Naturally,
her reps refused to comment. But we expect it's only a matter of time
before they release a statement chronicling Cyrus' underlying love of
edible genitalia. Either that, or she'll have to call up Patrick Stewart and create some
SNL magic.

Recently, pictures of Justin Bieber
surfaced that had us scratching our heads. His crowning glory, while
still shaggy, was distinctly darker. The dark blonde locks we've come to
know and love were no longer.
