        Kelly Clarkson Hilariously Reacts After Getting Called Out For Glancing At Allison Williams' Forehead Botox
    
The Berlin branch of the iconic Madame Tussaud's wax museum was just trying to bring some sexy holiday cheer when it unveiled its new wax figure of pop star and fashion mogul Rihanna, complete with a sexy Christmas-themed outfit. 
But well... it didn't exactly work out that way. 
Because the wax figure doesn't so much look like Rihanna as a horrifying cyborg with a thirst for blood. Or something.
It's honestly hard to put a finger on what exactly it looks like, but calling to mind what it doesn't look like is easy. The answer to that question is Rihanna. 
See for yourself below, if you dare.

We truly mean no disrespect here because everyone's artistic process is unique, different and personal. However, we must ask (respectfully!): Has Madame Tussaud's ever seen Rihanna? 
Because that is not Rihanna! That is NOT Rihanna. That is, at best, British pop singer and actress Lily Allen with an addiction to tanning beds and a tinted foundation habit costing thousands of dollars a day
Here: Look at this Lily Allen gif and tell us RiRi's wax figure isn't the result of a miscommunication in the Madame Tussaud's wax-figure assignment queue.

Rihanna's home country Barbados recently named her an official national hero after the nation removed Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and became the world's newest republic last month, replacing the Queen with Prime Minister Mia Mottley. The title followed Rihanna being named an Ambassador of the country in 2018. 
We're not trying to start a fight or anything but if Rihanna were to leverage the powers she now  seems to have to create an international incident of this wax figure, well... who could blame her?
On Twitter, of course, the wax figure made quite a splash... for all the wrong reasons.
that wax figure of rihanna is a hate crime.

Jun 27, 2025
Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."
Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.
Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
