If only she could be locked away in a maximum security cell for Crimes Against Music.
You were perfectly clear here:
According to you speculating that Rhianna might feature is 'a lot of fun'. Enjoy your party although I think I can say I won't be sending an RSVP.
I think QBranch has hit the nail on the head here. This has gone on long enough and there's already more than enough speculative rumours dreamed up by tabloid rags to entertain Germanlady on the Bond 24 thread.
Any chance of putting Rhianna out of my misery Mods?
Well I don't really see why talking about some hotel in another thread that may or may not be a location is 'fun' but talking about Rhianna isn't.
But whatever.
It's a slow day at work but even doing this on company time rather than my own is scant excuse.
I have a reputation to uphold and I shouldn't be seen to even be acknowledging the existence of Rhianna so I'm out of here.
Might have to go and find a Fleming related thread to go and post in to claw back some shreds of self respect.
Berry, my post wasnt directed to you. Sorry, if you thought it was.
I was amazed when it was publicized that she was also involved in the theft of stolen pictures from a private computer as I was not aware of pictures of her wearing clothes.
Another attempt to get some free publicity or get EON to accept her offer to add to Mendes depth in the next 007 movie. :((
@germanlady posted this one in the production thread. It might be the first report

As I said in original post, local newsradio thought the story was sensational enough to cherrypick it for their entertainment roundup.
This report references the Daily Mirror and includes the infamous.. "Daniel Craig..... had previously said Rihanna would be his dream Bond girl." which was repeated in the radio report I heard
http://www.filmibeat.com/hollywood/news/2014/rihanna-to-finally-act-with-daniel-craig-in-bonds-next-movie-160482.html
Reporting is very tabloidish. The Metro story says Rihanna has been approached by the Bond producers.

From heady days of 2012 when news broke that "CraigPicks RiRi Over Beyonce To Play A Bond Girl;" :))
The fact that All News Radio picked up the story in a big North American City of 4-6 million suddenly gives the story lots of reach, at least in this market.
All News Radio has big mainstream audience numbers, well beyond entertainment junkies, movie fans or Bond fans. Regular folk hear this stuff and start yakking over coffee etc.
I nearly put the car into the ditch. Announcer was really into the story.
Guilty Pleasure admit: I do like the Umbrealla song she did years back. Pretty much everything else causes me to stick fingers in ears.
A brief cameo, like Branson's in CR, fine. But please not another Verity.
I just HOPE dear @MajorDSmythe, that we will get a stellar cast like with "Skyfall". If the Bond villain is Mark Strong and/or Chiwetel Ejiofor, then let at least the Bond girl be an enigmatic one. Jessica Chastain would be wunderful. Even her age! As Craig gets older, why not raise the age of the Bond girls slightly? For a henchwoman I think Tilda Swinton would be wunderful.
A combination of ok.co.Uk and The Daily Mirror would appear to be the source. All the stories, posted here there and everywhere, quote the Mirror, but the Mirror may have taken the story from ok.co.uk which reported as follows "The singer has reportedly been approached by producers to see if she'd be interested in a cameo role."
article is linked elsewhere in thread.
The report is not attributed at all.
That's the brunt of the story there. One line really.
The quote about Craig considering her to be a dream Bond girl is 2 years old.
Also (unless I don't know how to navigate the Daily Mirror website, which is possible) there doesn't seem to be any trace of the original story on the Mirror website.
Did they yank it? I don't know. I never saw the Mirror story, only the zillions of other places sourcing the story.
== as for my opinion, this is a horrid idea. It reeks of gimmickry. As bad as Madonna's acting was in DAD, at least she was connected with the film as the title song singer.
It doesn't appear that RiRi has any connection with the movie. Her appearance would just be a cheap stunt. She has no acting credentials.
Casting her in a BJ Arnau LALD type role as a singer could conceivably work, but even that technique smacks of looking for a way to shoehorn her in.
BJ Arnau was only cast because the filmmakers wanted a singer for the scene in question. I am not sure B24 has been looking for a singer to appear in the film.
:)) :bz :ar! =D>
Brilliant. Never heard or read this. Just madey my evening whilst watching TWINE on German TV (where at present Bond is bedding Elektra).
Exactly, except that Craig never said she would be a dream Bond girl. He was placed with a choice "Beyoncé or Rihana" and he picked the later.
The only thing that surprises me is that this resulted already in a 2 page discussion /:)
I just don't see it, personally. It smacks of the typical pre-production media whirlwind that ultimately comes to nothing. We've seen it a million times before. Looking at it from a logical point of view, what does Rihanna bring to a movie that is the follow up to the biggest ever movie at the British box office? Do people truly believe this is the kind of decision that would be made lightly?
This is just classic paper bullshit that we hear at the start of every Bond film; such as DAD was to be titled Beyond the Ice or that Robbie Williams would do the theme song (a popular refrain for every Bond film in the 90s).
The Mirror is a dismal rag so I don't imagine there is any truth in this story and we are panicking unnecessarily.
Going to stick my neck out here and say I trust Babs and MGW and think they are too sensible to let this happen. But then again I thought they would certainly put the GB at the start of SF and they were happy to spit in my face on that one so who knows?
