Another Reason To Love Her

Filed under: Rihanna > Inspiration

rihanna.jpg

Rihanna is one busy bee. So, what does the multi-platinum chart topper do during her downtime?

Work some more!

RiRi is doing benefit gigs for underprivileged kids!

She kicked off the mini-tour in Chicago on Wednesday and then it's on to San Francisco and New York City.

The singer's charity, The Believe Foundation, and her label, Island Def Jam, "got together with a local foundation in three cities and Escada and [the label's fragrance] Moon Sparkle" to sponsor the benefit gigs.

"When I was young and I would watch television and I would see all the children suffering, I always said when I grow up I want to help," the Umbrella star said by way of explaining why she started The Believe Foundation.

"Not long after I was in the position where I could help. I started to visit all these children's hospitals and I have a soft spot for kids," she says. "I just want to help and make sure they are happy. They can come to a Rihanna concert or have toys or gifts at Christmas."

Earlier this month, she also played a major role in a drive that went into helping a New York woman find a donor for a bone-marrow transplant.

"So many people got involved, and it made such a difference. I'm so glad we were able to help give her life and give here to her family," Rihanna said of the outpouring of support that she helped to cultivate.

What good has Beyonce been up to lately?????

    The fact that you have to advertie the good you do says it all. Beyonce has The Survor Foundation which helped Katrina victims get housing after the storm. Her family also runs a youth recreation center in Houston amongst other charities that she's either donated to or started. You should do your research before you start mouthing off.

    keep up the good work rihanna

  47. #47 - Me says – reply to this

    Perez, Exactly what has Beyonce done to you? Even when she does good you don't give her credit anyway. And can you just post about Rihanna and leave B out of it. Rihanna is not even on her level.

  48. #48 - kaite says – reply to this

    Beyonce has her own charity foundation what goes to people with Aids ang people with hunger and alot more

    she was doin alot of work recently perez with it

  49. #49 - Lindsay says – reply to this

    Love her! She is a way better role model than Britney or Lohan could ever be!

  50. #50 - caroaber says – reply to this

    Just because you haven't seen press releases and photos, don't assume Beyonce isn't doing good works.

    You can draw those claws back in, Perez.

  51. #51 - Anon says – reply to this

    YOU FUCKING RACIST!!! "What has Beyonce been up to these days?"- YOU FEEL THE NEED TO ASK THIS QUESTION BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH BLACK. TRANSPARENT RACISM. SHAME ON YOU. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, IDIOT!!!!!

  56. #56 - Just sayin'. says – reply to this

    What good has Perez been up to lately????

    That's what I thought… probably too busy stuffing your fat face.

    And can see why Chris Breezy is totally HEAD OVER HEELS FOR HER as well:)

    It's so refreshing to see what she does with her celebrity!!

    eww…. to her, & chris brown for being with her.
    she sucks & her music sucks even more.
    but kudos to FUG for doing some good.
    i HATE this girl, i wish her 15 min would PLEASE EXPIRE!!

  60. #60 - Adrian says – reply to this

    Re: ashley

    Right??!

    Omg.
    He's such a hater.
    Anyways, like posting up his "A Worthwhile Cause" is doing a whole lot, no one takes Perez seriously. The only reason the WebSite is so popular is because, why should you go thru all the trouble of getting the 'dish' on celebrities if we have one loser doing it for us?

  61. #61 - Dave says – reply to this

    You fat Frig! Stop hating on Beyonce- shes filming a movie now as Etta James! And she has a lot of charity organizations! And Rihanna is great but she cant really sing. At least Beyonce is equally as beatiful and far more talented! Effin hater!

  83. #83 - cass says – reply to this

    don't be lame. Beyonce has done extraordinary things already. Much more than Rhianna, btw. Why can't they BOTH be good people? Why do you have to make it seem like such drama all the time.. Blah, Perez…

  84. #84 - riri lover says – reply to this

    Ok RIRI is GORG! but her statement sounds soooo fake!

  85. #85 - Tommy O says – reply to this

    must she ALWAYS pose in that cross-legged way?? she's trying to make us think she's taller. but she ain't. her shortness, accompanied by her MASSIVE forehead, cannot hide what is - a caveman. rihanna is the missing link. cro-magnon man.

  86. #86 - honey says – reply to this

    OVERRATED me thinks! first of all she cant write any of her own songs,got people to do it for her OH and she sounds like a strangling cat singing!!..the only good thing i can say bout her is that she going out with chris brown-lucky biyatch! all i can say is she aint gon last long thats for sure…beyonce waaaay better!

  87. #87 - KOR says – reply to this

    RIHANNA!! you are the best… She was in the poland 19.03.2008!! So Cool Concert… YEAHHHHHHHHH

  88. #88 - PEREZ YOU SUK says – reply to this

    Beyonce has her own foundation that she donates millions to a year. She helps build wells and schools and Africa. She donated money to build housing for Katrina vicitims and thats all you can say is "What has Beyonce done lately?" A hell of a lot more than SHITANNA!

  89. #89 - miamis finest says – reply to this

  90. #90 - Liz says – reply to this

  91. #91 - Steph says – reply to this

    This would be the ONLY reason to love her…its nice when celebs do things like this…but they only do it so people give them the recognition…fuck em all

  92. #92 - rosco says – reply to this

    she's so beautiful, nice to hear she's a good person too.

  93. #93 - PEREZ SUCKS! says – reply to this

    PEREZ, STOP ACTING LIKE YOU REALLY LIKE RIHANNA! HER PEOPLE ARE JUST PAYING YOU TO BE NICE TO HER SO SHE DOESN'T GET ANY BAD PUBLICITY! STOP ACTING LIKE WE'RE ALL DUMBASSES OVER HER, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT!

  94. #94 - morgan says – reply to this

    dont try to compare her to beyonce b/c beyonce tops all in the r and b and dance area…ALLL and rihanna isn't even in the same ball park with bee. peroid but this is good what ri ri has done

  95. #95 - keri says – reply to this

    A lot of celebs help charities. Rihanna is over rated and tone def. She's jus another example of how being pretty will make people think you're talented. did anyone see her old performance of her singing Mariah..yuck!..She sounds the same NOW!!..if she sung that right now it would sound the same…A mess..SORRY..IM JUS NOT IMPRESSED WITH HER AT ALL..

  96. #96 - suck up!!!! says – reply to this

    this is a celeb stunt!! to make her seem like the good girl that shes not. shes so fake. i cant stand this bitch!!!

  97. #97 - Beyonce Fan says – reply to this

    I just wanted to say that just because some people feel the need to advertise their goodwill doesn't mean that others are not doing anything. If Perez took the time to research before blasting Beyonce, he would've found out that Beyonce is very active in her Survivor Foundation which provides housing for Hurricane Katrina and Rita victims. Beyonce has also done work and continues to work with the Ronald McDonald House. I wish people would stop comparing Rihanna and Beyonce. Although Rihanna is very talented and beautiful, she is no where on Beyonce's level. Not taking away from Rihanna's success but she has a lot to accomplish before she should even be compared to Beyonce!

  98. #98 - eliteeliza says – reply to this

    aww I love RIRI she is awesome!!!
    Her and Chris Brown are such a perfect, and adorable couple..GET OUT THE WAY BEYONCE and JAY-Z!!!

  99. #99 - papaya says – reply to this

    why are you even comparing RiRi and beyonce in the first place? what has your dumb ass done to better the lives of others? i cant wait for the day when you decide to pull your head out of your ass and look up the true facts before making illegitimate, unintelligent remarks. More than once have you gotten your facts wrong. Perez, I'd be more than embarrassed if I were you. Since you're so "famous", why don't you do charity work like Beyonce and Rihanna? The difference is though, they are famous for their TALENT and they use that TALENT to help others… what do you have to show?
