This reminds me of the song from A Chorus Line forty years ago. The musical had a song - which I will not post now because it's the three weeks of mourning for the Holy Temples - that described what a woman needs to make it in show business. The lyrics are here. Here's another story that proves you don't need a brain to be a popular entertainer. Just the things described in the song.
Pop superstar Rihanna caused a social media firestorm this week when she tweeted "#FreePalestine" from her official account before deleting it eight minutes later.This isn't the first time she's gotten into a controversy here, although the last time wasn't as much her fault.In those eight minutes the controversial tweet was retweeted over 7,000 times, according to NY Magazine.
Entertainment news website TMZ claimed that the Barbadian singer removed the tweet after she was inundated with questions from fans asking if she supported Hamas.Hours after her initial posting was removed, she tweeted "Let's pray for peace and a swift end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict! Is there any hope?....," E! News reported.
In October 2013 she performed to a crowd of thousands in Tel Aviv. Following the show, Ha'aretz reported that Rihanna substituted the lyric "All I see is dollar signs" with the phrase "All I see is Palestine" in her song "Pour it Up," and the controversy was quickly picked up by Israeli and Arab media, eventually making its way to American aggregators.You don't need a brain to be an entertainer.It turned out, however, that upon scrutiny of a fan video taken at the concert, Rihanna had in fact performed the original lyrics to the song.

Thank you, entertainers, for chiming in. Don’t know what we’d do without your opinions.
She’s so clueless I doubt she has a clue about anything there.
She stays with an animal that beats her so I don’t know if I really care to hear her advice.
Dwight Howard tweeted the same over the weekend and immediately deleted. Doesn’t seem like something he would do, since he doesn’t typically make such statements, but it’s weird to see two do it just days apart.
What is a “rihanna” and why should we care about its twitters and tweets?
Free ‘em from what?
hashtag that biatch
Islamicism.
She likes Hamas...Stone her....
“Free Palestine”
Free Sh** Army
Free your T****. Oh,you did that you already!
Rihanna sings the new press and Democrat voter anthem
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil I
don’t know why I’m still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you’ll always be my hero
Even though you’ve lost your mind
[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that’s all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
They are free to return to Jordan and/or Egypt.
You’ve hit the nail on the head.
It’s doubtful she is that familiar with the subject.
That chick is stoned 24/7.
I don’t even know if I have ever heard her songs, but I’m glad if I haven’t.
Only good thing she’s ever done is “Shy Ronnie” on SNL.
