Rihanna Goes Shopping with the Girls
Rihanna Goes Shopping with the Girls
This girl is so stylish she even looks photo-shoot-ready when she’s running errands. And Rihanna was spotted out and about yesterday in West Hollywood.
The “Take a Bow” songstress was joined by a few gal pals as she enjoyed some time off from her usual promotional and performing duties (over the weekend she sang two songs for Pete Wentz’s FNMTV show). And she looked adorable in a black top with matching skirt and a pair of serious black leather boots.
Rihanna’s relationship with Chris Brown has long been the topic of conversation in the gossip world. Recently the “Kiss Kiss” stud divulged a bit more information that usual about his “Umbrella” babe.
Brown told press, “Our relationship is growing. We started off as friends and we’re getting a little bit closer now. My mom is real cool about it all. They both have light skin with green eyes, so.”

They’ve been constantly trying to dispel the rumors that they’re together. But yesterday, Rihanna and Chris Brown may have put the final nail in the coffin of keeping their love a secret.
The “Kiss Kiss” singer and his “Disturbia” gal were spotted going grocery shopping together at a West Hollywood supermarket. And no matter how hard they tried to look separate, there was no denying that they’re an item.
Recently Chris addressed the incessant notion that he was in a serious relationship with the Good Girl Gone Bad, insisting that things weren’t serious between them.
He told press, “Our relationship is growing. We started off as friends and we’re getting a little bit closer now… But I don’t want to let down all my girlfriends, so all the ladies out there, I still love y’all!”

Rihanna and Chris Brown: Out on the Town
Rihanna and Chris Brown: Out on the Town
They’ve both denied rumors that they’re dating, but last night Chris Brown and Rihanna didn’t do much to stop the rumor mill from churning.
The “Kiss Kiss” stud and his “Umbrella” babe were spotted out and about in New York City, making a few stops together before heading back to the same hotel.
First, Rihanna gratified her desire for ink, stopping into WHATEVER Tattoo parlor for a nice neck/back tat. Of course, fans and paps made the whole ordeal more complicated, with bodyguards, as well as the NYPD getting involved.
Then the “just friends” couple headed over to the Hotel Chelsea for Rihanna’s friend’s birthday party. And the “Good Girl Gone Bad” was dressed to impress.
She sported a classic little black leather dress and black stockings, along with matching black heels and, at times, a green hooded pullover. And Chris looked the R&B singer part, sporting a baggy grey screen-printed shirt with baggy jeans and sneakers.
