Has Rihanna gone too far?

We all know Rihanna is someone who pushes boundaries and usually everyone loves her for it, but now she has been photographed going into a studio in London wearing a T-shirt saying C*** Life along with a gun logo. It comes days after her tweeting a picture of her new tatoo `Thug Life' in memory of Tupac.

When leaving the studio the singer seemed to have realised her mistake and covered up the slogan, but it still begs the question - why wear it in the first place? It's not like she is so naive not to expect photographers to get a shot of the t-shirt.

Rihanna has previously said to critics who believe she is too sexual in her videos and other such things that she doesn't see herself or want to be a role model. Well here's some words of advice RiRi - you're a role model whether you want to be or not. Fact. It was so the moment you signed a recording contract with Jay-Z and Def Jam and even if you decide not to be one, thats not going to stop young fans wanting to be you.

My words to Rihanna are this:
Stop being so selfish and just accept the fact that you ARE a role model and start thinking about what you're showing to your loyal fans and how you represent yourself. Grow Up.

Prime Minister David Cameron and other political leaders to appeat at Leveson

The Prime Minister, David Cameron is to appear at the Leveson inquiry next week to further investigate press standards and the relationships between politicians and the press. George Osborne, Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg are among others to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice next week.

Gordon Brown and George Osborne will both appear on Monday. Tuesday will be former PM John Major, deptuy Labour leader, Harriet Harman and Labour leader, Ed Miliband. Deputy PM Nick Clegg and SNP leader Alex Salmond will appear on Wednesday. David Cameron will spend the whole of Thursday at the inquiry.

The Leveson inquiry is to continue on Monday after a week out.

Last time the inquiry was in session, Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt spent six hours in front of the inquiry to discuss his input into the News Corporation BSkyB bid.

Next week will focus further on the relationships between politicians and the press stirred up by Prime Ministers' past and present, relationships with the main culprits, i.e. Rebecca Brookes, who opened the lid on her relationship with current Prime Minister David Cameron when she was at Leveson last month.

The Leveson inquiry, set up by David Cameron last July, is looking into first the culture and ethics and practices of the media in general and secondly unlawful activities by journalists which will begin when detectives have finished looking into phone hacking and police corruption and prosecutions have been concluded.
