[post_page_title]Rihanna – Robyn Rihanna Fenty[/post_page_title]
Rihanna didn’t exactly ditch her real name, but she did decide that using just her middle name would help sell her image as a music star. She’s following in the footsteps of several successful musicians with a singular name, like Madonna, or Cher. With a switch up to acting being on her mind lately, you can imagine that Rihanna must be mulling over bringing the full name back.

Foxx won’t be the first actor/comedian to change their name, and he won’t be the last. Foxx believed his ordinary name was stopping him from getting work in comedy clubs, and so he adopted a unisex moniker so that club bookers would think he was actually an alluring-sounding woman, and get him to perform his act. I can imagine a few of these bookers weren’t pleased.
