Rihanna is the latest star to get wax statueIn the summer 2010 trend kicked off by Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga, pop star Rihanna now also has a waxen doppelganger courtesy of Madame Tussauds. And if the picture above - currently the photo on the “Rude Boy” singer’s Twitter account – is any indication, Rihanna absolutely loves it. The 22-year-old’s wax figure recalls RiRi’s blonde cropped 'do of yesteryear, and is clothed in the memorable all-black Balmain ensemble she wore to the designer's runway show during Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week.
The wax replica of the Barbadian songstress can be found at the Washington, D.C. Madame Tussauds, which also houses the statues of other notables like President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Beyonce. You can get buy one, get one free admission to the D.C. Madame Tussauds if you mention the word "Umbrella" - with or without the "ella, ella" it sounds like - between now and September 30.

Selena Gomez shud get a WAX doll!!!!
What waste of wax.
It seems like more than a few of you commenting on here have eaten a bucketload of paint chips. =/
Keep your head up girl! N remember u can do all things through Christ who strengthens u!! The enemy job is 2 destroy u but GOD's job is 2 save u luv u always!!!
SHE IS A FALLEN ANGEL!!!!!!!
I AGREE! Too bad she does not believe in GOD she is a follower of the ENEMY....you know the FALLEN ANGEL!
Judge not that ye be not judged. Matthew 7:1
'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments (Matthew 22:36-40)
I'm not really feeling the love here, guys(MsLady74 and brownie1). i hope you aren't representing the Christian faith here, because this is not how the Bible commands believers to act. in fact you're doing the opposite of how God commands us to love. And I do not want to be identified with how you are acting towards the unsaved. All i'm asking is that you think before you write, and not burst out with judgements and accusations when most likely, you aren't affecting these people at all. oh, and please read the bible first too because right now, it's obvious what you are saying is just your opinion like everyone else's, and not truth.
You all are idiots....complete idiots.If your gonna hate on Riri then dont put your frigging comments!All you are is a hater!Although i kinda dislike Riri i dont hate on her.I bet your just jealous cause you couldnt get that wax or your a hate cause your not her.Your just a sore loser if you hate and I can name a bunch of ppl on here that are hating.So Riri you keep rockin your music and those haters are prolly fans who wanna be you!Keep rockin girl!
YOU STOP HATING!! you are hating on us BLOGGERS for blogging what WE CHOOSE to say and how WE FEEL towards RhiRhi! SHE MEANS NO GOOD!! for NOBODY but herself she is the one makin ALL the moneY! what is she really teaching to BURN to LIE and LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! SOUNDS DEMONIC TO ME!!!!! soooooooooooo YOU STOP HATING!!!!!!
I don't envy MONEY nor do I envy devil worshippers so I would tend to say that your ASSUMPTIONS are unwarranted and false. I don't like her for the choices she has made to walk on the darkside. Therefore, I disagree with those saying that she is a role model!
Will they make one of Precious?
They don't have enough wax.
you just go girl enjoy your life

Marie aka Pisces please talk with some sense!! Thank you
Wow what clueless idget, yes idget, decided that this one hit wondner needed a waxen? Where's his comment in all this. I'd love to see what he has to say about this
I guess she goes from plastic to wax. LOL.
Why?
Gone Riri I mean really go!!
Riri u are doing grt. Thanks
Its this a big joke? Souldja boy is next then,I wonder how her big 4head look like?
You go girl I love ur music good for u
I was very confused for a second there. I was like "why is that woman trying to kiss Rihanna?!". lol
hahaha.. i thought the exact same thing!!
wow people your jealousy wont stop her from shining she is a great role model and um earth to everyone not every role model has to preach the gospel she is a good person with a determined personality thats what kids today need to look up to! And another thing it dont matter who hit who first chris deserves his butt kicked!
Well perhaps we differ in the fact that I believe if there is to be a role model for the youth is should be someone preaching the gospel! It would NOT be someone who lives in the "darkness". Maybe you really should do some research on these "stars" people LOVE to say are ROLE MODELS! Then ask yourself who are they role models for....what are they REALLY putting out there????
I LOVE RI RI! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND EXTREMELY TALENTED. NO MATTER HOW MANY CRITICS SHE MAY HAVE SHE WILL SHINE ON!
the wax world needs all types to show future generations who lived in the 21st century. chill out yall.
I luuv Rihanna && never thought or heard of anyone speaking so badly about her. Shes so talented and a genuinly good person. Young women from the islands making a good living, and a good name for herself. Shes one of the best females out & will definatley go down in history. I commend the Madame Tussauds. I've been once before in New York and will have to take a trip to Washington D.C. Congradulations RiRi Baby. Well earned.
I didn't think they were still making those anymore if it's that easy to get one I want one
I think melissa etheridge should get a wax statue
ri-ana, thanks for da umbrella!
You people need to grown up and vent your frustrations with your sad lives elsewhere. Its not that serious and stop defending a woman beater.
LOL she hit Chris first? Who told you? And even if she did, that gives him no excuse to bite her, punch her, and shove her head into a steering wheel. Is domestic abuse suddenly okay? I can't believe this.
yukkkkkkk still one ugly woman who can't sing.
You all are just a bunch of haters with no life
What an ignorant statement. Why do we have to be "haters" because we don't like the image she puts out for the youth? Then to state that we have no lives...we are bloggin just as you are so therefore you must not have a life either.
Don't pay them no attention girl. You deserve this.:-).
That's very good..
Riri deserve that wax
What has she done to earn such an honor NOTHING AT ALL Everyone seems to forget SHE hit Chris first and she cant sing so well what has she done for music I guess Soulja Boy is next to get one
Seriously some ppl need to grow up... if u hate someone who has done nothing wrong u need help... the fact the the obamas have wax statues is what surprises me!!
Perhaps you need to do some research and really "see" the world for what it is......
Oh wow she dosent belong!!
I wasn't aware junior high kids knew what CNN was....
So much for freedom of speach!Everyone just goes nuts.This is CNN not "gossip factory".
CNN really attracts some disgusting people. CNN should really learn how to filter hate comments.
Hi, bbc/and de world. I like rihanna and her songs. But u don't call musicians role model. A role model should know christ and preach His gospel. Show sanity and morals/descipline. Am Bright Prince.
don't let no thing or no one put you down girl. accomplish all you can whenever you can.
And i meant to ask if any of you are famous or have ever had millions like your music? NO You havent! Leave her alone.
So what if she is a singer and solded millions of records.....what makes her better than me or you even. What is known is her lack of morals and NO amount of record sells could EVER buy that back.
I think rihanna is a great person and deserves a waxen. Why do you all even care? your just judgemental and narrowminded. leave people alone if you don't like them. Gosh.
rihanna likes to take it in the a**..SSSLLLLUUUTTTT
Don't all women???
Ha! I like Rihanna, but she doesnt have a style of her own- more like it was manufactured for publicity. Gurl can sing though.
i already forgive chris lmaoooo.
They won't make a wax figure of me because I am the same size as Precious.
Interesting I didn't know she was like "a big deal".
does the wax figure have a black eye?
she deceives it anyway.she is young and talented.
it didn't realize singing songs with only 20 different words in the whole song made you a talented singer/artist...........umbrella brella brella brella brella oh ohohohohohoh eh eheheheheheh
to bad it didn't look like her after chris brown got done with her...........then it'd be worth seeing !!!!!
This* Carving*
his madame shouldnt waste her very good caving wax talents on waste of spaces like Riri and Kim. The museum of crap and the president
WOULDNT IT BE IDOL WORSHIPPING!!!!! WOW
She is a role model for a lot of little girls, I'm glad she got her statue! I love the way you lie!
I am glad YOU love the ways she lies because she is nothing but full of them but that is what devil worshipers do....they lie. These people could NEVER be a role model for my child. What could she teach her how to show her body to everyone in sight, how to live in the darkside and do things their way or better yet she could show her how to make a man "take it"! Her public image leave a lot to be desired as far as morals are concerned.
if Rihanna get waxen den anybody can...who's next? Cassie!
Rihanna has a waxen den? That sounds kinda neat...
How could they tell the difference? Exact same level of intelligence.
A sad testament to the museum.In 20 years Rihanna will be an unknown.
Rihanna sucks..i don't understand why she need to get waxen. She's a no talent airhead with nothing to offer.

I think it's great that rihanna is getting that thing and CHRIS SHOULDN'T GET ONE because he's a women beater and should be in jail but other than that i think it's great
Just another ugly, no talented, hack.
exactly!
Great, now all we need is a wax Chris Brown to smack that talentless boof around a little.
True dat.
you care cruel. She has way more talent than you im sure.
Maybe he'll hit her this time with an Umbrella...ella...ella
