Being a rock star is hard work. There’s image, then there’s the individual and Rihanna seems to be having a hard time reconciling the two.

 

While tweeting about an upcoming cover shoot, the Pop star says, “I shot my first cover for Esquire yesterday with Russell James #rockstarshit Not much preparation for that besides wax+starve!!”

 

RiRi fans responded with finger wags and disbelief at what she had written. While most of the responses are now gone from her page, one supporter writes, “you've got the most AMAZING body...don't know why you would need to starve...”

 

The 23-year-old entertainer surely couldn’t have expected such visceral reactions from her fans as she ignored the comments and kept it moving by promoting a new trailer she’s in for Battleship.
