Did Rihanna get inked AGAIN? Singer who already has 14 tattoos visited New York parlour

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Another one? Rihanna visited a New York tattoo parlour yesterday reportedly to add to the already 14 designs she has all over her body


Rihanna is known for her love of tattoos and so far has at least 14 etchings on her skin.

But the Bajan beauty has seemingly got addicted to inking and may be adding to her collection.

The 23-year-old visited a tattoo parlour in New York yesterday and seemed to be on a mission to get a new design.


Revealing: The 23-year-old wore a dress that had a thigh-high split as she entered the tattoo parlour


Rihanna wore a short-sleeved long black dress with a thigh-high split.

She dressed down her ensemble with flat black sneakers and carried a large denim Prada bag.

Her long flame hair cascaded over her shoulders in wavy curls and she carried a red rose that a fan gave her just before she entered the store.


Meet: Rihanna has been nominated for six BET Awards and will likely encounter her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown at the June 26 show who has also been nominated


It's not yet known what the feisty star had done but it will only be a matter of time before she shows it off if she had a new one added.

Her much talked about long red tresses have apparently been inspired by The Little Mermaid.

Rihanna tweeted a picture of herself yesterday writing: 'Touch ups... Ariel style', referring to the long haired half-woman half-fish Disney creature.


Fiery red: Rihanna's new long tresses were inspired by Ariel from The Little Mermaid


The Umbrella songstress was in New York to kick off The Today Show's summer concert series.

It was announced last week that the star has received four BET Award nominations including a nod for Best R & B Artist.

If she attends the live awards show on June 26 in Los Angeles, she will no doubt bump into ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who is up for a leading six BET Awards, including Best Male R&B Artist and Video of the Year.



As Mail Online reported two weeks ago, Rihanna and Chris Brown are now following each other on Twitter.

The on-line gesture came two years after the infamous assault that Rihanna suffered at the hands of Brown, her then boyfriend.

Now come new reports that the two may be hooking up in secret.

Rihanna split with Brown in 2009 after he attacked her, but had her restraining order against him lifted in February so that they could both attend the Grammy Awards.

A source tells The UK's Now magazine that the two have been seeing more of each other and are even thinking of getting back together.

Chris Brown Quits Twitter

Over the past few days, rapper Chris Brown has been using Twitter to rant that his new CD, Graffiti, isn't available in some major stores - Walmart in particular. He showered his followers with such eloquence as, ""im tired of this s***. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the f*** do i gotta do," and later adding, "yeah i said it and i aint retracting s***. im not biting my tongue about s else..."

Now, days later, it seems that Brown decided that "retracting" these statements was probably a good idea, as his Twitter account has now disappeared, going the route of Miley Cyrus. He had claimed that he visited a Walmart in Connecticut and that the store didn't have his albums on the shelves or stored in the back. However, that particular Walmart has made a statement that they are, in fact, carrying the album - and so are the majority of Walmart stores. Looks like somebody spoke too soon, and decided to quit the microblogging site before he could dig his own grave any deeper.

Rihanna Speaks out about Chris Brown

Singer Rihanna – who was left battered and bruised after her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown assaulted her in February at a pre-Grammys party – knows she isn’t the only person to be the victim of domestic abuse.

"This happened to me. It can happen to anyone," she said.

However, the 21-year-old beauty admitted it was hard to deal with because of the feelings she had for the ‘Run It’ singer.

She says in an episode of ‘Good Morning America’ due to air on Thursday (11-05-09): "He was definitely my first big love."

Chris was recently interviewed about the assault and spoke of his regret about attacking Rihanna and told how he is trying his best to make amends.

"I'm human," he said. "If people feel a certain way, I'm not going to say they're wrong. But it's not right to judge somebody when people make mistakes all the time."

"I've learned from my mistakes and I'm learning from them. And I regret every moment, every second of it."

Chris repeatedly punched Rihanna in the face and bit her arms in his car as they left a pre-Grammy Awards party in February.

He pleaded guilty to assault and in August was sentenced to six months of community service, 12 months of domestic violence counselling and five years probation.

The judge also issued a restraining order which requires him to stay at least 100 yards from Rihanna for five years.

Chris Brown suffers from girlfriend beating amnesia

During his interview with Larry King Wednesday night, Chris Brown admitted to not remembering the incident where he brutalized then girlfriend Rihanna. Brown stated that his behavior doesn't reflect "who I am as a person". Brown, dressed in a baby blue sweater with a coordinating dark blue bow tie, looked innocent and youthful flanked by his mother, Joyce Hawkins, and his lawyer, Mark Geragos.

His vain attempts to look like a nice guy after his domestic violence case culminated is comparable to the Menendez brothers wearing pastel shirts at their parent's murder trial in 1989. Looking like a J.Crew model doesn't excuse violent behavior. One can only hope that Chris Brown is genuine in his apologies to Rihanna and that he will get the help he needs in dealing with anger management.

Chris Brown's Apollogy Worked; On Rihanna

The New York Post reports hip hop artist Chris Brown and his ex girlfriend singer Rihanna spent the weekend in of all places, Trump International Hotel & Tower in New York City overlooking beautiful Central Park. However they did check into separate rooms.

In addition they have tried to avoid the public, press, and paparazzi using decoy cars in an effort to not be caught together by anyone with a camera. Why? Remember Chris has a restraining order barring him from any contact from Rihanna. Brown, pleaded guilty to a felony assault charge against Rhianna just 5 months ago in February.

Bottom line, his video pleading for forgiveness may not have worked with the public or media. It did work on the one person to him that mattered, Rihanna. You may recall his video he personally released last week (week of July 12) asking for every one's forgiveness was panned by critics and polls shown that over 60 percent felt his apology was too little tool late.

One could speculate it's just a coincidence but neither artist have any performances in town this weekend. In addition they have ultimately arrived and left the same locations, just not together and not at the same times.

What is happening it appears Brown is on his own in his doings. Last week he acknowledged his video apology was against his attorneys recommendation and when asked for comment in regards to this past weekend his equally high profile attorney Mark Geragos stated, "I don't want to be quoted on something hypothetical."

Essentially, mums the words folks. We see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil. No one is commenting on this. Not only are Brown's attorney and publicist not speaking, the prosecutors in Brown's case are not commenting. The real question is how will Rihanna react to questions asking if she forgives Brown? Because you know she's going to deny (she has to) having seen him. Consider that these two are kids. Brown is 20 and Rihanna is 21. They have a long way to go in terms of understanding the mess they are in and how to properly handle it. Brown has not even been sentenced yet so he is walking a very fine line as the courts don't take kindly to disrespecting orders. Any one judge with an agenda could decide to make an example of him.

What is worse is that if it is proven true that Rihanna has reconciled with Brown, she will lose all public sympathy. At least if he hits her again. Until then, talking heads will come out of the woodwork discussing if she did or did not do the right thing.

If you are wondering how this turns out, perhaps you can use the other Brown fiasco as a barometer. His name is Bobby.

Chris Brown Sentenced

Monday, June 22nd, Chris Brown's plea deal was announced. Brown will serve no jail time, but instead was sentenced to 180 days of labor service in Virgina, 5 years probation, and ordered to attend a domestic-abuse program for a year. In addition to the conditions to the deal, Brown was also issued a "stay away" order by the judge hearing the case. According to the "stay away" order, Brown isn't to have any contact with Rihanna during his probation period. If both celebrities attend the same function, Brown is to keep a certain distance from Rihanna. Also, Rihanna is not to contact him either.

Did Chris Brown get a slap on the wrist for assaulting his one time girlfriend, Rihanna? After all, Brown did plead guilty. Brown was offered 180 days of jail time as an alternative to labor service. Brown will be formally sentenced on August 5th, where the 180 days could be reduced.

Deal Reached In the Chris Brown Case

Chris Brown copped a plea deal in his assault case. He has managed to avoid any jail time and was sentenced to five years probation for felony assault to which he pled guilty, 180 days of community service, and he must stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna.

Do you think justice was served?

Chris Brown Trying To Be Good With Rihanna Again?

Awkwardness filled the stadium at Game 4 of the NBA finals when Chris Brown and Rhianna both attended it. You'd think after all that went down between the two you'd never see them at the same basketball game after probably having to see each other in many other aspects of their lives like award shows, celeb parties, and all those other places famous people go to. None the less the two were seen at the basket ball game...although they weren't there together. They were actually on opposite sides of the arena and during half-time in completely different lounge areas.

Shockingly Chris Brown did go out of his way to go to where Rhianna and her friends were seated to say hello and shake hands. Maybe he was trying to make things less awkward or maybe he was showing that he was in fact starting to become mature. Regardless sources say that Rhianna could care less because she's moved on to Magic's player, Rashard Lewis.

So far it hasn't been confirmed from Rhianna directly yet but sources close to Rhianna say she's been crushing on him.

Rihanna Setting Up Home With Chris?

Rihanna and Chris Brown are moving in together.

The 'Umbrella' singer - who has been looking at multi-million dollar mansion in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles - is planning to set up home with Chris as soon as she chooses a property.

Gossip website X17Online reports: "Once Rihanna moves in to her new pad, Chris Brown will be joining her!"

Rihanna, 21, was spotted looking at properties in the exclusive area - where celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz live - on Monday (23.03.09).
Among the houses she viewed were a $6.5 million four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom property with glass walls, a swimming pool, outdoor theatre and a large garden.

The singer also visited Christina Aguilera's former home, which boasts four bedrooms and seven bathrooms and costs $6.9 million.

Her next stop was Jerry Seinfeld's old house, which is on the market for $6.2 million and has three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a gym and swimming pool.

Real estate agent Russ Filice said: "The house has incredible views, a contemporary pool and is very private.

"Rihanna has just started her search for a house. She was in a great mood. Her questions were centered around her lifestyle in the house - how she could entertain, how private it is."
Chris has been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats following his alleged attack on Rihanna last month.

He is yet to enter a plea and is due in court for an arraignment hearing on April 6. If convicted, he faces up to four years in prison.

Rihanna and Chris Brown Record A Duet!

Have Rihanna and Chris Brown just completely forgotten they’re supposed to be embroiled in a bitter court case over whether of not said Brown beat up the lovely singer?

Well, I’ll answer that for you shall I? Yes they blinking well have as they decide to release a duet together to prove they are very much still ‘in love’ - crikey, watch out Sonny and Cher!

According to sources in the US, the reconciled couple are heading into the studio to record a duet for Brown’s new album - well I suppose that might be the only way Brown ever shifts his records from now on…

The couple’s show of unity comes just weeks after Brown allegedly assaulted Rihanna in a Lamborghini he’d rented, leaving her bloody and bruised. In the weeks that have passed, he’s since been charged with assault and making criminal threats and faces over four years in jail if found guilty.

However, despite what the police, press and, well everybody is saying, the pair seem to be completely oblivious to their impending trial and decided to try and cash in on the headlines as much as they can, by recording a bloody record!

Meanwhile, Brown reportedly refused to leave LA after his hearing last week to spend the weekend with Rihanna - and the couple remain “very much in love”, according to pals.

Rihanna's Family Pray For Prison

Rihanna's family hope Chris Brown is jailed.

Chris, 19, has been charged with two felonies - assault and making criminal threats - for his alleged attack on the 'Umbrella' singer and her loved ones hope he receives the maximum sentence of four years and eight months in prison if found guilty.

One relative said: "It's about time. He should be in jail. He deserves whatever he gets."

Chris reportedly punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she was unconscious after they began arguing in his rented silver Lamborghini on February 8.

Rihanna's father Ronald Fenty has spoken out about the incident, claiming no punishment could excuse Chris' behaviour.

Speaking about how he felt when Chris was charged, Ronald said: "I don't know how to react. Chris is a very talented guy. I still think he's a little immature for Rihanna. Justice can never be served in this situation. He can't feel the pain she felt.

I would tell Chris, 'Don't ever try again, don't even think about it.' I'm hurt and disturbed at that scenario.
"I don't believe in hitting a woman. I hope everything works out better for them. I don't feel happy or sad. He's in the court's hands. Let justice prevail."

Ronald has not been in regular contact with his daughter since the incident, but says he is still supporting her.

He told Us Weekly magazine: "I can't get on to her. Her mother can't get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I'm lost.

"Anyone in my family, I'm there for them. All of my kids, I'm there for them. Rihanna's no exception. All of them I would support."

Asked what message he had for Chris, he replied: "I would tell Chris, 'Don't ever try again, don't even think about it.' I'm hurt and disturbed at that scenario."

Although Chris and Rihanna initially split following the reported incident, they are now believed to have married at P. Diddy's Miami home last weekend.

Rihanna's representatives have refused to confirm or deny the allegation, saying: "We aren't able to offer anything right now but will keep you posted if that changes."

Rihanna Dress Being Studied

Rihanna's blood-soaked dress is among the evidence being investigated by police for their case against Chris Brown.

The 21-year-old singer's $11,000 Gucci garment has been handed over to the Los Angeles District Attorney's office following Brown's alleged attack on Rihanna on February 8.

A source said: "The police took Rihanna's dress into evidence because it had bloodstains on it."

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has refused to comment on the claims.

Rihanna is believed to have requested an emergency protection order just hours after the alleged assault, to prevent Brown from contacting her. The order expired after five days.

Santa Monica-based criminal defence attorney Alec Rose said: "It is standard practice for police to ask the domestic violence victim at the scene of the attack whether they would like an emergency protective order keeping the attacker away."

The police took Rihanna's dress into evidence because it had bloodstains on it.

Brown was charged with making criminal threats and released on $50,000 bail following the incident and is due to attend an arraignment in Los Angeles today (05.03.09).

Rihanna reportedly told police he beat her and choked her until she was unconscious.

It has previously been reported Chris' rented Lamborghini - were the altercation took place - had traces of blood in it when it was impounded by police.

Meanwhile, reports claim Chris' attorney are conducting talks with the District Attorney which could see him enter a plea bargain in a bid to avoid going to prison.

The case was handed to the District Attorney yesterday (04.03.09), and Brown's' lawyer Mark Geragos has been discussing the matter with prosecutors since Monday (02.03.09).

It has been suggested his legal team want to strike a deal which would see him remain free if he pleads guilty to a misdemeanour, although it is unknown whether prosecutors are willing to compromise.

Rihanna did not file charges against Brown and the pair are believed to have married in secret at rapper P. Diddy's Miami mansion.

A source said: "Rihanna never had any intention of ending it with Chris. It's partly because she cares about him a lot. But another big part is that she can't bear the thought of him with another girl."

Usher Blasts Chris Brown

Usher insists Chris Brown should show "a bit of remorse" following allegations he assaulted Rihanna.

The R'n'B singer made the comments after seeing photographs of Chris smiling on a jet ski while on holiday in Miami.

After the other photo? C'mon, Chris. Have a little bit of remorse, man. The man is on a jet ski? Like, just relaxing in Miami?"

In the photographs, Chris is seen laughing in the sea and flexing his muscles.

Chris, 19, is accused of beating and choking Rihanna after they got into an argument in his rented silver Lamborghini on February 8.

He was charged with making criminal threats and released on $50,000 bail.

After initially separating, the couple are believed to have reconciled after holding crisis talks at P. Diddy's Miami home last weekend.

Although Rihanna has decided not to press charges, Los Angeles police have confirmed they are still investigating the case and have not handed it over to the district attorney.

Chris' arraignment hearing is currently scheduled for tomorrow (05.03.09)

Spotted: Chris Brown In Miami

We haven't seen Chris Brown out much lately since the scandal broke between him and Rihanna. He turned up in Miami this weekend. The singer spent a few days at P. Diddy's house in Florida soaking up some rays and jet-skiing. Many fans are upset that Brown is out having fun in the sun, laughing and smiling while this potentially serious charge is looming over him. Does he look sorry?

Reports are saying that Rihanna and Brown are back together and she is spending time at Diddy's house on Star Island near Miami, as well!

And how is Rihanna's family handling word that she's reconciling with the boyfriend who is said to have brutally beaten her?

Her father Ronald Fenty tells Us that he supports his daughter's decisions. “I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I'm behind her win or lose. I will be supportive. If that's the road she wants to choose, I'm behind her. I hope to see her soon. I talked to her after her birthday, and she told me she's OK," he said. WHAT?!

Chris Brown's Anger Lessons

Chris Brown is having anger management lessons.

The 'Run It' singer, who allegedly beat up his girlfriend Rihanna earlier this month, has reportedly been advised the classes will help him when he appears in court on suspicion of making criminal threats next month.

A source said: "Chris doesn't actually have to go by law, but he believes it will make him look better to the public, and he wants to try to get in a few classes before his court date on March 5."

Chris - who recently released a statement saying he was "sorry and saddened over what transpired" - is believed to have attended his first class in California on Monday (23.02.09).

It has also been claimed 21-year-old Rihanna has a bad temper and the pair had several heated arguments before the incident in Chris' car on February 7.

The source added to the New York Daily News newspaper: "Rihanna is temperamental, too. They're both too hot-headed for their own good.

"It didn't help that Rihanna grabbed the keys out of his rented Lamborghini and threw them down the street. She knew it would really infuriate Chris, and it worked."

Rihanna was allegedly left with bruises and cuts to her mouth, forehead and cheeks after Chris, 19, attacked her.

It is believed the Barbados-born beauty will be required to appear at her estranged lover's court trial, forcing the pair to see each other for the first time since Chris was arrested.

The source explained: "Rihanna will be there, she has to testify. If Chris is convicted, it would be his first offence. He won't go to prison. "

Singer Rihanna photo leaked after she was allegedly bashed by Chris Brown

Pic credit: Tmz

THIS is the battered face of singer RIHANNA after she was allegedly bashed by boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.

The shocking photo was released by pals of the pop star as revenge after rapper Brown’s “arrogant” apology.

It shows her bloody, swollen lips, welts on her forehead and bruises on her eyes, nose and cheeks.

The Umbrella singer, who turned 21 yesterday , was also bitten on the arm during the alleged pre-Grammy bust-up on February 8.

The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an internal probe over how the picture was leaked to US website TMZ, saying it “has the appearance” of a photograph taken during a domestic violence investigation.

But Rihanna’s aides said they wanted the world to see her injuries after Brown’s weak apology.

One said: “The picture is shocking enough to put pressure on Chris to take more responsibility. They also know reaction to the picture could kill his career.

“Rihanna was appalled by his apology and his behaviour since the incident.”

Brown, 19, took a week to make his public statement, which didn’t even mention Rihanna by name.

He said: “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired.

“I am seeking the counselling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones, and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person.”

And Rihanna has released a statement through her representative thanking fans for their support.

The statement reads: “At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown.

“She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time.”

Brown is free on £35,000 bail after being arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats and is due in a Los Angeles court on March 5.

The LA District Attorney’s Office is continuing to investigate whether to charge Brown with domestic assault.

He allegedly attacked the beauty in a bust-up after Brown received a text message from another woman as they left a Hollywood do before the Grammy awards.

A spokeswoman for TMZ refused to reveal the source of the photo, but added: “It has been obtained legally.”

Rihanna wears and eye patch caused by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown

COPS were last night investigating whether an injury that forced pop star RIHANNA to wear an eye patch was caused in a bust-up with boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.

According to police sources, the Barbados-born singer, 20, suffered a scratched cornea last year and began wearing a patch to cover her red and sensitive eye.

It is thought she then incorporated the accessory into her stage costume — including the glittering diamond-encrusted version she sported at the 2008 American Music Awards.

Umbrella star Rihanna suffered a bloody nose, swollen lip and facial bruising in an alleged bust-up with 19-year-old R ‘n’ B star Brown before last Sunday’s Grammy awards.

Los Angeles cops are now probing an alleged history of violent rows between the pair and claims of possible abuse in the past.

A police source said: “We’re investigating if her eye injury could have been caused by Brown.


“There could be an innocent explanation — but police believe Rihanna has previously refused to make a complaint against Brown. She is now being asked about her past injuries and is beginning to open up about incidents in their relationship.”

An LAPD source said: “We’re talking to her friends and management, who say she’s appeared with mysterious marks or injuries before, but always refused to explain what happened.

“There was one instance when she suddenly appeared with an eye patch, saying her cornea had been scratched.”

Brown was charged with making threats following Sunday’s alleged episode.

It is believed a domestic assault charge will be added or substituted as the main charge.

The Sun can reveal that after the weekend’s apparent bust-up, devastated Rihanna was reluctant to file a police complaint, but was persuaded to by her mum Monica.

Reports also claimed the singer was spotted with a bruise to her neck last December — but kept quiet about what caused it.

US Weekly magazine said: “Chris and Rihanna have a very volatile relationship. He can be quite wild and demanding.”

The mag said further cracks in the relationship became apparent two days BEFORE the Grammys at a party hosted by Timbaland.

An onlooker claimed Brown flew into a jealous rage — accusing Rihanna of sleeping with the hip-hop legend and producer.

Brown gave himself up to cops on Sunday and was charged before his release on $50,000 bail.

He is due in court on March 5.

His lawyer Mark Geragos did not return calls or emails last night.

Meanwhile, Brown has offically ended his relationship with Rihanna via his Facebook page.

The singer changed his relationship status to 'single' and wrote: "You'll begin to see her true colours. Believe it!".
