Rihanna may be GQ’s sexiest woman alive, but a bishop from her home island of Barbados thinks she’s unfit to be the country’s ambassador.Rihanna has always worn her Bajan heritage with honor.  Earlier this year the pop star was named ambassador to the island by the Barbabos Tourism Authority. Filming a behind the scenes documentary for the tourist board, participating in the Kadooment Day and performing the last leg of her LOUD tour to kick off her endorsement on the island during Crop Over season.

Rihanna has recently been pushing a lot of buttons from upsetting farmer in Northern Ireland while filming “We Found Love” to her outrageous (and entertaining) twitter-spasms with followers and her sexual innuendos in music and in-person interviews. In recent interviews, she has expressed her frustrations of living her life as a young person and not wanting to be a role model.

In the eyes of many the pop starlet has become, well, the Good Girl Gone Bad. While she may not like the “role model” title as much as her “rock star” status, it kind of comes with the territory. Young people, especially from the islands, see her as an inspiration and are watching her every move. Some of her fans are too young to understand the difference between real life and entertainment persona, wanting to imitate her every move. But as a 20-something year old living her life out in the public eye, should she be scrutinized for doing what anyone her age might do? I mean don’t we all have crazy wild stories as young people? Is she really tarnishing what international travelers think about Barbados? Sound off!
