Rihanna's never one to shy away from a
good time, and earlier today (July 26) Rihanna was spotted kicking back aboard a
swanky yacht in Eze Sur Mer, France.
With a cold Corona beer in hand, the
"Rude Boy" singer showed off her svelte frame in a plunging swimsuit that
matched her punchy red pout.
Meanwhile, RiRi's ex, Chris Brown, is
trying to squash rumors that the former lovers met up while they both stayed in
Cannes over the past week.
With reports touting that the talented
twosome rekindled their flame with a kiss, Chris' camp quickly came to his
defense, telling press, "[Chris Brown] is in France to shoot a music video for
[the] Swizz Beatz album and Ludacris is in it. It's Swizz's song."
Brown's rep further rejected any
speculation, explaining, "Karrueche is there with him.They never broke up. He is
not on [Rihanna's] yacht. There is no Rihanna connection."
Clearly enjoying her time in the sun,
Rihanna was once again spotted on a beautiful yacht in the waters of Saint
Tropez, France on Saturday afternoon (July 21).
The 24-year-old singer showed off her
amazingly toned body in a tiny bikini as she welcomed basketball great Magic
Johnson aboard the lovely boat after tweeting, “Drop that anchor!!! We locked
and loaded!”
While the “Umbrella” star enjoys her
tropical vacation, she’s been sharing multiple tweets. Reports are surfacing
that it’s all to catch the attention of her ex, Chris Brown.
Doing her best to numb the still very
present pain of losing her grandma, Rihanna headed out to sea with a few friends
while cruising the Caribbean waters off the coast of Barbados on Thursday (July
12).
The "We Found Love" songstress showed off
her fit figure as she did a little tubing before hopping back aboard the water
vessel and cracking open a cold one.
Also posting a Twitter pic of herself
sipping a brew, RiRi captioned the shot with a message reading: "I had to!!!
Sorry granny."
The 24-year-old offered up another tweet
directed at her late grandmother during the course of the day, as she warmly
penned, "#grangranDOLLY I know you smiling down on me brightly, I could feel it
in the sunshine #1Love forever."
The island grieving period comes as
Rihanna wound up near the top of Forbes' just-released list of 'Highest Paid
Stars Under 30'.
Put together with earnings garnered
between May 2011 and May 2012, the Barbadian beauty raked in $53 million en
route to a third place finish - as she was beaten out only by Taylor Swift's top
spot nabbing $57 million and runner-up Justin Bieber's $55 million. Not too
shabby!
In what's a sad day for the hit singer,
Rihanna was spotted somberly exiting her Manhattan hotel on Friday afternoon
(July 6).
Clad in a blue dress, the 24-year-old was
visibly upset as she held the hand of a female friend while en route to her
grandmother's funeral in Brookly.
Earlier the same morning, RiRi took to
Twitter to post an entry with the symbol drycry accompanied by a link to an
Instagram pic.
The page featured a yellow spiral
notebook with a little girl's handwriting having penned a tear-jerking entry
reading: "IMA TRY TO BE A BIG GIRL NOW.... #DearDolly".
Rihanna's always been a family girl, so
when Rihanna's grandmother Clara Brathwait passed away over the weekend, she was
devastated.
July 5, the |Take a Bow" songstress paid
a visit to a funeral home in New York City to say goodbye to her beloved
grandma, holding one hand over her heart as she accompanied her
family.
June 30 Ri-Ri tweeted, "Goodbye grangran
get your beauty rest until I see you,” along with multiple photos.
And it sounds like Rihanna is having a
tough time career-wise as well- she filed a lawsuit yesterday against her former
accountants, claiming they lost her tens of millions of dollars over the past
few years.
Showing off their sexy, patriotic side,
many of our favorite stars have donned the American Flag on their swimwear over
the years.
And in honor of America’s birthday (July
4th), we’re bringing you some super-sexy shots of celebrities wearing their
American pride on their sleeve, or rather, swimsuits and high-end
outfits.
Big names like Rihanna, Rachel Bilson,
Jessica Simpson and Kate Upton have all made fashion statements with the Star
Spangled Banner, drawing salutes from men all over the world.
Already in the patriotic spirit this year
are “Smash” stars Megan Hilty and Katharine McPhee, who attended patriotic
events in Washington DC and New York City respectively .
After a painful battle with cancer,
Rihanna’s grandmother “Gran Gran Dolly” has died.
The devastated 24-year-old singer
recently put her European trip on hold to spend time with her family and visit
with Clara 'Dolly' Braithwaite in the hospital. She broke the news from Barbados
through her Twitter account late Saturday evening (June 30).
The “Umbrella” performer shared numerous
pictures of her with her grandmother and tweeted, “grangranDolly get your beauty
rest until I see you..." adding, "grangranDolly that is all."
She received condolences from her fans
and even her ex Chris Brown’s mother who tweeted, “Angel May God Be With You And
Your Family In Your Time Of Sorrow. Love You Angel." The note prompted Rihanna
to reply, "mombreezy thank you! Love u mama."
It seems the pair is still close, with
the Barbadian beauty quickly replying: "Thank you! Love u mama."
