Seriously one of the best comebacks ever. I’m not a huge fan of Rihanna, mostly because her music is obnoxious and she seems like a drug-addled idiot, but I have to give her props for standing up for herself over the weekend.
Amanda Bynes, who has been on a Lindsay Lohan-esque death spiral of awful plastic surgery, Twitter nudes, bong throwing and other hijinks, decided to open up on RiRi on Sunday via… Twitter, of course. Bynes posted two messages at the singer, then rapidly deleted them:
@rihanna Chris Brown beat you because you’re not pretty enough
@rihanna no one wants to be your lover so you call everyone and their mother that I almost named my new dog Rihanna
What brought these on is anybody’s guess – I hadn’t heard any rumors of beef between the two stars, but Bynes’ well-documented preference for Black men might have made her a little jealous that Brown and Rihanna are back together? Or maybe she’s just on some new kind of rage drug. Whatever the case, Rihanna rose above the fray with one of the swiftest comebacks ever, which she hasn’t deleted because she’s probably learned that nothing’s ever really gone on the Internet.
Ya see what happens when they cancel Intervention?

Nice. Doesn’t mention her by name but is obviously referring to her, keeps it classy but also mean. Well played. Bynes, of course, doesn’t know when she’s beaten and went right back on the warpath, dropping this lovely piece of invective.
@rihanna unlike your fugly faced self I don’t do drugs! U need the intervention dog! I met your ugly face in person. U aren’t pretty u know know!
She then deleted that tweet as well and went back to what she does best: threatening to sue the NYPD for sexual harassment. More details as events warrant.
