Happy Birthday, Rihanna!

Rihanna’s 21st birthday is today, so her close friends placed a birthday greeting in the local Barbados paper, the Nation News [via Us]. The message reads:

“Happy 21 Birthday to Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
Amidst all the negativity about Ri Ri.
God will continue to bless her.
That’s why you are so great, Ri Ri.
From Sharon, Shane, Kim and Rashane.
We love you.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RIHANNA! Stay strong.

Los Angeles Police have launched an internal investigation Thursday to determine who leaked a photo of a bruised Rihanna post-altercation.

“The photograph has the appearance of one taken during an official Domestic Violence investigation. The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence,” the LAPD said in a statement Thursday. “The Department launched an immediate internal investigation and subsequently filed a personnel complaint. A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.”

Errrrrrr this can’t be some other woman’s picture, the tattoo on her shoulder. Only photoshopping another head on that body woulda worked, but I really don’t think this is photoshopped. I wish it wasn’t her! I was hoping she wasn’t gonna look that bad I feel like crying, WTF is up with Brown man

all the naysayers are actually real funny. everyone knew when they saw that pic that it was rihanna and that’s how someone who has recently gotten their face smashed in looks like. get over yourselves you doubters. tmz must have greased someone with a lot of cash and reassurances to have gotten that picture on the sly when we all know that picture shouldn’t be out yet. i mean they had cb’s mugshot the day of the incident and someone told the host of the site to remove it because of the pending investigation. i hope this kid gets charged like the sucka he is.

Happy b-day rihanna. may all your wounds heal and may God keep you in his grace. You’re someone’s daughter, a sister, a friend, and a mentor so stay strong for yourself and us all.
