Kudos to Rihanna for letting random strangers kiss her or her kiss them, but I would never do that. You don't know where their lips or cheeks been....much less if they're sanitized or not. 
Again, this is a meet and greet. Not a meet, kiss, hug, play around, and greet. Britney's social interaction outside of her close-knitted circle is very limited. Can you blame her after everything she has been through? She just isn't the same person as she once was. People will say, well if that's the case then why do meet and greets? The answer to that is because her meet and greets do exactly what the title of the package is....the fans meet her and she greets them. Some even make small talk with her before the next person in line gets their turn.
Seeing as I am probably the only person on ATRL who met her before, I can't speak enough how nice and beautiful she is inside and out. I didn't have to pay any money to meet her, it just happened to be fate on my side....at McDonald's. It was way before her breakdown, but the two people I see then and now aren't the same. One has been through more that has forced her to be reserved and always have their guard up, while the other was bubbly and interactive. People will find anything to shade or attempt to bring Britney down with.

Y'all need to get off the little boy's back. I seriously don't think Sean will turn out to be gay and I feel the same way about Jayden. I'm sure 17 years from now, Sean will look back at this picture and feel shame beyond belief.

I find some of the things she does with her fans forced and even almost disgusting.
Like really?

These fans pay upwards of $500 to meet their favorite singer, and the majority of this money goes directly to the artist. Hugging a fan is not a big deal at all. Kissing may be a different story, but I've noticed Rihanna usually only kisses gays, cute guys/girl, or kids!

Britney front row tickets are only worth $350 to buy , so you are paying an additional $750 to go backstage, meet her and get a tour book and photograph. Do you think the photographer gets each fans $750!
A tour book is worth $30!

This is called having fun! She is not afraid to express herself with her fans. She treats each fan like her best friend!

Britney was never that "playful." Rihanna would do anything for money.

WRONG! Not all of the money goes to the artist. You have no way of validating a statement like "most of the money goes directly to the artist." The Meet and Greets are tour packages that count towards the tally of how much each show grossed. The artist doesn't receive 100% of the proceeds. People pay to MEET the artist, otherwise their ass would be in the seats waiting for the show to start like everyone else. Not every person can get within a foot of Britney and not have a security guard jump on them to get back.
Oh and their is no such thing as "directly to the artist." Every entertainer has expenses to pay out from revenue grossed before they even sniff a check.

You obviously do not know how ticket sales work. Backstage passes/meet & greets are handled entirely by the artist and their staff. For example, Rihanna cancelled a show in Dallas last week due to a fire on stage, and there were fans who purchased meet & greets and did not get to meet her. Ticketmaster and Live Nation will not refund these vip ticket buyers, and there is already a class action law suit being planned against Rihanna because of this! The money these fans payed to meet her is has probably already been deposited into her bank account!

You do realize that these people have to go through a security check before meeting her and she obviously has security with her while meeting fans.

I don't agree with that. I think Rihanna is genuine with those pics, she's a natural "playful person." I say this because of her tweets and interviews I've seen her do. These all fall in line with the sense of humor she has.

You just contradicted yourself in your post. The artist's staff deciding what the M&G will include and getting the fans to and from the Meet & Greets, but that's it. The selling of and accounting of the sales are handled by tour promoters and their company's accounting team (LIVE NATION in this case).
