Which Sexy Singer Paid Tribute to Tupac With a Pink "Thug Life" Tattoo?

One of today's hottest R&B stars got some inspiration from the late, great rapper Tupac Shakur.

Paying homage to the T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E. tattoo emblazoned across Tupac's stomach, this fashion-forward singer got the same phrase inked on her knuckles—but in pink!

Who is she?

Rihanna! The 23-year-old Barbadian beauty tweeted a photo Wednesday of her new body art, including a Drake lyric, "Tat my f--king name on you so I know it's real."

She also posted lyrics from Rick Ross' "Tupac Back," saying, "All these b*tches screaming that 2Pac back."

Tupac's "T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E." tattoo was an acronym for "The hate you give little infants, f--k everyone."

Whether or not Ri-Ri wants her "Thug Life" tat to stand for the same thing is a mystery. Either way, we're glad her she spelled out her message in pink ink!

Sorry, India, No Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for You

 

Looks like India won't be seeing a release of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo after all. 

Although the country had announced a Feb. 10 premiere date, turns out the U.S. remake of the Swedish flick starring Daniel Craig and Oscar nominee Rooney Mara won't be allowed to play there. The reason? The film's director, David Fincher, refused to cut scenes demanded by India's Central Board of Film Certification.

Sony Pictures India said in a statement,: "Sony Pictures will not be releasing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in India. The Censor Board has adjudged the film unsuitable for public viewing in its unaltered form and, while we are committed to maintaining and protecting the vision of the director, we will, as always, respect the guidelines set by the Board." 

Mission Possible: Tom Cruise Slays Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (and Rocks the Box Office)

So, which scenes did they want Fincher to cut?

The offending bits were reportedly two lovemaking scenes between Mara's character, Lisbeth Salander, and Craig's Mikael Blomkvist, a lesbian scene featuring Lisbeth and a woman she meets at a bar, a scene where Lisbeth is raped and tortured, as well as a follow-up scene where she tortures her tormentor as a video of her being assaulted plays in the background.

Sounds like some key scenes in the movie to us. We definitely understand why Fincher wouldn't make those cuts.

Sorry, India, guess you'll have to wait for it on DVD.

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Upset? Martin Scorsese Triumph? Try Another Win for The Artist at Directors Guild Awards

Would The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's David Fincher avenge his Oscar snub? Would Hugo's Martin Scorsese make a case for his film being the one to beat?

There was no game-changer (and also no Demi Moore triumph) at tonight's Directors Guild of America Awards.    

NOMINATION AFTERMATH: Who's up? Who's down?

The Artist took the top film honor for helmer Michel Hazanavicius.

The DGA recipient hasn't lost the Best Director prize at the Oscars in a decade; since 1948, the guild's pick has been denied Academy Awards glory just six times.

First-time winner Hazanavicius got his trophy the hard way: He beat DGA Award vets Fincher, Scorsese, Midnight in Paris' Woody Allen and The Descendants' Alexander Payne. All but Fincher will compete at the Oscars.

The Artist's DGA victory came one week after the black-and-white charmer's triumph at the Producers Guild, and one night before its next test at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards. 

On the TV side, The Killing won for drama-series directing, while Curb Your Enthusiasm won for comedy series—and in the process thwarted Fred Savage, looking for his first win after four career nominations. Savage was up for helming an episode of Modern Family.

Moore, meanwhile, lost out on what would've been a nice way to end a bad week: a DGA Award in the TV-movies and miniseries category.

The group effort that was the Lifetime movie Five, featuring nominated directing work by Moore, Jennifer Aniston and Alicia Keys, got outpolled by The Kennedys. (One of Moore's other Five codirectors, Patty Jenkins, who won for calling the shots on the pilot of The Killing, told our own Marc Malkin that the star, despite the headlines, "was doing great.")

Here' s a rundown of the winners of the 64th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards:

Feature Film: Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist

Documentary: Project Nim

Movies for Television and Mini-Series: The Kennedys

Dramatic Series: The Killing

Comedy Series: Curb Your Enthusiasm

Musical Variety: 65th Annual Tony Awards

Reality Programs: Biggest Loser

Daytime Serials: General Hospital

Children's Programs: A Child's Garden of Poetry

Commercials: Noam Murro
