Filed under: Rihanna

fat_kid7.jpg

RiRi loves art AND fat boys!

Rihanna bought $35,000 worth of art from Todd Goldman as a birthday present to herself.

The Umbrella diva is sending half to her New York apartment and keeping the other half in her Los Angeles home.

She bought several paintings. They are:

"Fat kids are harder to kidnap"
"Goodbye kitty in a microwave"
"Gold digger like a hooker just smarter"
"My mom says not to run scissors"
"Barbie is a slut"
"A salt with a deadly weapon"
"Smurf blue balls"

Smurf blue balls!!!!

    Todd Goldman blatantly copies other artists. He even uses friggin CLIPART.

    He is NOT an artist.

  2. RiRi got taste says – reply to this


    102

    I got that shirt that says "Golddigger, like a hooker only smarter…" lol so RiRi has the same sense of humor as I do. No, I'm not really a golddigger, I'm not pretty enough. That should be another shirt. LMFAO.

  3. Todd Goldman: Thief? says – reply to this


    103

    Re: Rihanna – Hm, come to think of it… the shirt I have isn't by Todd Goldman. So yeah, he does steal. He'll probably get sued soon.

    Re: Rihanna – I WAS ABOUT TO POST THAT WEBPAGE!! Wow, I can't believe he plagiarizes art from others!! Be original!!

  5. Todd Goldman: Thief? says – reply to this


    105

    You're right I think. That shirt I have isn't by Todd Goldman, but says "Golddigger…" He does steal. I wonder will he get sued bigtime.

    Love Todd. I have the ONE NIGHT STAND piece… it is a pic of a night stand lol

    He has a great gallery at the Grove Mall in LA across from the Farmers Market Fairfax/3rd

  7. GIVE ME THAT MONEY! says – reply to this


    107

    She should pay ME that money…I'll give her some REAL art…not this RETARDED T-SHIRT BULLSHIT!
    What the hell is wrong with RiRi? Is she just fucking retarded?

    Why should we love a celebrity with no taste who wastes so much money on junk when the money could have been spent on something constructive! My opinion of her just fell ten stories!

    110

    lol, she has a great sense of humor and big hart on people.com there's an article that states she's helping a mother of two look for a bone marrow donor i love this girl

    111

    Wow. What the fuck. You get behind this, Perez? You love scandal, don't you think you oughta run a segment about the shit Todd Goldman got into for blatant and repeated plagiarizing?

    Todd Goldman is a piece of shit who steals from legitimate, struggling artists, especially those who have online galleries, and makes a fuckton of money off his ripoffs. I've lost a great deal of respect for Rihanna as an artist for spending so much money on such a load of shit without doing an ounce of research. She's going to donate thousands to that shitbag? With all the charities in the world that could do so much good with that money? What a thoughtless, thoughtless fucking thing to do. I'm in awe of this vast display of stupidity and waste. Absolutely in awe.

    Hope that bitch supports Limewire. I encourage everyone to go illegally download all her albums. She doesn't seem to care about artists getting legitimately paid for their work, so let her soak in it.

    112

    All I can do is laugh at this $35,000 in art from an artist that doesn't matter? Her ass doesn't know shit about shit, and it won't even appreciate with time.

    Vote RON PAUL!!!

    hot!!! WHO CARES IF SHE SPENT $35K. It's HER money, if I had that kind of money I wouldn't give a shit what people thought of my impulse purchases. i love when people get mad at others for having money, it's hillarious…

    TODD IS COMPLETE SHITE, AND YOU KNOW IT, PEREZ.
    FOR ONCE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD SLAG OFF THOSE WHO FUCKING DESERVE IT RATHER THAN PRAISING HIM FOR BLATANTLY PLAGERISING THE WORKS OF ARTISTS AROUND THE WORLD.
    YOU'RE SO KEEN TO POINT FINGERS AT BARAK OBAMA FOR PLAGERISING HIS SPEECHES, AND YET YOU'RE ALL ABOUT THIS SODDING LOSER?

    121

    Goodbye kitty in a microwave - now, that is in bad taste. Has happened - to not only cats,but rabbits, small dogs, hamsters etc. To promote that in art is disturbing - even in jest!

    You call that art?????

  30. as an artist says – reply to this


    130

    i don't think his artwork looks anything like natilie dee's. same style does not mean "stolen". cubism, for instance. you think of picasso. he wasn't the ONLY cubist. sure cubist paintings can appear to be very similar. that doesn't mean they STOLE something.

    and as far as whether or not it's "art", art does not mean a realistic perfect to a t render. jackson pollock anyone? if you look back in the history of art or even knew anything about art, you wouldn't say such a thing. check out threadless.com. thats tshirt designs. it can't be art?

    you people are so dumb.

    DAMN GIRL! YOU CELEBS JUST THINK THE MONEY'S GONNA LAST FOREVER DON'T YOU? ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY? THIRTY FIVE G'S FOR CARTOONS? I COULDA CAME OVER AND PAINTED THAT FOR YOU FOR FREE!

  32. katie says – reply to this


    132

    i agree with #4.. and how is "goodbye kitty" in a microwave funny? actual animal abusers do that and that isn't funny but ok.

  33. x says – reply to this


    133

    she shouldn't be blowing her money like that. thats the reason a lot of celebrities go bankrupt because they act as if their income is permanent. you won't be a celebrity forever so spend your money wisely

    I don't blame Ri Ri, if I had money I would buy art because it always appreciates and if Goldman dies young his paintings will be worth millions.

    136

    "Barbie is a slut" & "Goodbye kitty in a microwave "Well FUCK her then !

    She blew $35,000 when she could have had some lovely art that does something for ones soul.

    Actually I don't feel bad for Rihanna. It's her fault for wasting a shitload of money on that. His stolen artwork isn't even that funny or original to begin with.

    153

    Rihanna is annoying.. she just got big and she already thinks shes the best thing out there.. she thinks shes better than Beyonce when B has been in this industry for decades. UM she can't sing and that bitch is already cocky.. like bitch werent you just broke 2 years ago.. have some humble pie. How is Beyonce waaay more famous than you yet more humble than you? Did you already forget about the projects you were in back in the carribeans like 2 years ago. YOU will NEVER be as famous as Beyonce.. let alone Britney. The whole world saw you laughing at Brit at the MTV opening show. Bitch Britney will be back and shit in your face… even after all the shit she is going through she is still topping charts more than you, faster than you and better than you. YOU will NEVER reach Britney or Beyonce for that fact.. these women are legends show some respect bitch. Your a one year wonder, good think you already monolpolized on your fame cuz last year way your year but this year youll fade faster than a water mark on plastic. Say bye bye bitch you look like and ape anyways.. Jay Z is gonna drop you faster than your fame lasted. But thankgod for you new line of "Umbrellas" puhh-lease. Ps. you better get a nose job while you still got money!

    Rihanna has just bought poser art. Todd GOldman stole some of his bestknown 't-shirt designs' from another artist. He's a big fat douche and should acknowledge he has no talent.
