Yeah frankly I'm getting a bit bored of writing these.
However it appears that after being sent gifts from most of the world's
top designers Rihanna has decided to move out of her New York City hotel
room and move into her New York City apartment. My main concern of
course is whether this apartment is being rented or is now owned
outright. Obviously though I would hate for that question to be answered
via the Internet. After all it does raise legitimate UK tax issues.
The specific UK tax issue raises relates to the - I think - 2012 Budget
in which 'we' decided to cut down on tax evasion by imposing stamp duty
(sales tax) on properties owned by corporations. At the time I believe I
opposed this on the grounds that certain corporations did need - from
time to time - to bring in specialised staff on temporary contracts.
Live Nation is a perfect example of such a corporation. I mean not only
last year did they bring in Justin Beiber, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and
Beyonce but this year they intend to bring in Beyonce and Miley Cyrus to
name but a few. So surely rather then renting just the same hotel suite
in my name it would just be much easier for them to buy a few O2
adjacent apartments in the London Docklands and stock them with staff as
needs be.
The big problem though is that Rihanna's CIA handlers/Live Nation (the
management) don't appear to have accepted that the long since dead
Diamonds World Tour (DWT) won't be resurrected in South America. As a
result they seem to be keeping Rihanna pepped on pre-tour energy. So
she's recently been kept busy in a recording studio and summoned to a
photoshoot for US Vogue Magazine where she had her hair set up like
Zindzi Mandela. Personally I like to think of this as just Rihanna's
natural hair. After all this was rumoured as Rihanna travelling to
Brazil for a photoshoot. I stand by my Twitter (@Sovereignaka) comments
that US Vogue are now getting seriously tired of digging Rihanna out of
the sh't.
Anyway in response to Beyonce's surprise iTunes album launch I believe
Rihanna took to Instagram to blink - in morse code - that she is;
"Totally Happy With Her Life!"
Unfortunately I then looked at what the rest of her crew stuck up on
Instagram and decided that - much like the fresh pine on my new UPVC
porch - sadly it's going to rot in place.

Edited at around 01:20 on 14/12/13 to add;
Back somewhere in the late 1970's this new music know as punk was born.
Somewhere in the fire and fury of that DIY ethos those who were good at
music decided to play some.Those who were good at photography decided to
take some. And those who were good at scribbling decided to write about
it.
Sadly though amongst all those people there were some who were only good
at partying. After they'd drunk, smoked, smiled and snorted those
'people' fell into the gutter. And they became known as;
The Gutter Punks!
