It seems that nowadays every aspiring female superstar has had one or two unflattering photos of her that they refuse to have released out into the public lest it be the kiss of death for their careers. Then there are those whose nude or sex pics just up the ante of their celebrity and they hit the stratosphere. Kim Kardashian was just another fat-assed Jewish princess in California with a reality show nobody watched until a sex tape of her was “leaked” and now everyone knows who she is. And most recently, mediocre R&B singer Cassie has her own personal nude pics strewn throughout the internet and now her album has doubled in sales. But sometimes, leaked nude pics can also be a kiss of death for several celebs, especially if they’re high profile ones. Take beleaguered pop star Rihanna for instance. When supposed nude photos of her leaked on the internet, everyone had an opinion on them. Unfortunately for her, so did the editors of one of the biggest fashion magazines in the world: Vogue. Their response? “You’re not for us anymore.”

Yup, Rihanna was scheduled to appear on a future cover of the legendary magazine. This would’ve been the first official cover shoot and story RiRi was supposed to do after the entire Chris Brown fiasco, and I’m sure the editors and investors of the magazine were already counting the dollar bills they’d be getting with the sales of the would-be hot issue. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the nude pics in question cost Rihanna the coveted cover spot because Vogue wants to distance themselves from all the, I guess, smut now attached to the star as a result of the leaked photos. Would have been a big seller too, if the people from Vogue decided to choose profits over standards.

Poor Rihanna. I mean, she wasn’t the one who leaked those pics. It’s not her fault that they came out. Do these Vogue people think that no one who ever posed for their cover has a nude pic lying around? I mean, several of the actresses who have been on the cover have done nude scenes in movies. What would be the difference between that and having personal nude pics of one’s self released into the world? I just wish these archaic Vogue people would get with the times and realize that internet sensations are the new Oscar winners. They are celebrated, admired, worshiped, and given fucking magazine covers! No matter how embarassing their actions are. As embarassing and hardcore as some of the pics you’ll see here.
