I seenot one of the urban blogs covering this......

& they're nothing compared to the publications, sites, & networks that have, so who cares? Rih's career is far bigger than any measly support they could ever throw her way.

“So I finally made it to Harvard,” Rihanna said jokingly to the crowd assembled at the university’s Sanders Theatre yesterday. Flipping her back-skimming ponytail and smirking, she added, “Never thought I would say that, but it feels good.” Receiving Harvard’s Humanitarian of the Year Award may have been a surreal moment for the pop star, but there is no doubting her charitable contributions. Her nonprofit, the Clara Lionel Foundation, has been working tirelessly to support health and education programs in impoverished communities across the globe since 2012. What’s more, she has brought in the fashion world to help extend her philanthropic reach: It was announced today that Dior will donate a portion of the sales of its “We Should All Be Feminists” slogan tees to the foundation.

Of course, Rihanna looked nothing short of a seriously accomplished—and seriously sophisticated—philan thropist at the ceremony. She offered the campus of overachievers a lesson in altruistic chic in her deconstructed off-the-shoulder Monse dress, which was cinched at the waist with an oversize belt. A pair of matching herringbone over-the-knee boots complemented the look’s cheeky side split. It was what Monse designers Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia called “unhinged daywear,” a subversive twist on the conservative skirtsuit.

Heads of state, Nobel laureates, titans of business. Sure, lots of famous and interesting people visit Harvard’s campus all the time. But none of them generate quite the sensation — or the declarations of love — that superstar Rihanna set off on Tuesday afternoon.


The pop singer received the Harvard Foundation’s Peter J. Gomes Humanitarian Award during an hourlong ceremony before a raucous crowd that had waited hours to get a coveted seat inside jam-packed Sanders Theatre.

“I’m incredibly humbled to be acknowledged at this magnitude for something that, in truth, I never wanted thanking for,” said Rihanna during brief remarks that were frequently interrupted by squeals and cheers.

Dean Rakesh Khurana noted that Rihanna’s widespread popularity attracts the kind of diversity the College strives to achieve. “As you can see from our students, that by drawing on our mission — our commitment to freedom, to pluralism — that we can create … a model of respectful, mutual relationships that bring together our diverse community, where our diversity comes to be seen as a source of infinite possibility,” he said.

Through her “unapologetic” music and fashion, Rihanna “symbolizes an alternative, liberated social system in which women can own their own desires and feel no responsibility to anyone’s expectations other than their own. As a trailblazer, she “provides a much-needed supplement to traditional white feminism” and through her own power helps “other women realize their own.”
