Heating Things Up!

Just friends??? Uh huh!

RiRi and Chris Brown are getting very "friendly" these days.

The pop princess turned 20 on Wednesday in London and flew to her native Barbados immediately afterwards to meet up with her new paramour for what was dubbed "Rihanna Day" by the national government.

The good girl gone bad received a hero's welcome as she was honored by the government in a massive ceremony open to the public on Thursday night in Bridgetown.

Looking gorgeous, as always, in a yellow dress, RiRi was named Ambassador for Culture and Youth for Barbados and was presented with a huge birthday cake, which boy toy Brown helped her cut.

"I really don't know what to say. I am so grateful and I have never been more proud to be Bajan!," the singer told the assembles masses.

And Barbados is really lucky to call her one of their own!

I always thought she was very pretty but her hair in this pic looks kinda funny. I didn't really like her song umbrella but loved SOS it is my fave by her. I hope she stays the way she is and doesn't go all crazy on us like some of those stupid young hollywood girls (Lindsay, Britney, and so on) Stay away from those drugs and drink moderatly girl and you will be around for a long time.

What is the big deal about Rhianna? OVER-RATED!!! The fact that Umbrella was such a huge hit last year only proves how sad and lackluster music was in general in 2007. Don't confuse 1 song that was wayyyyy overplayed for talent.

No white man wants Rihanna says – reply to this

40

Rihanna cannot get a single Hollywood white celeb and now she is with a little black boy. She must be REAL jealous of Leona Lewis who not only HAS a gorgeous long-time white bf OF AGE but she is ACTUALLY half-white unlike Rihanna. How embarassing for Rihanna and her LITTLE black boyfriend. LOL

Re: No white man wants Rihanna –
What the hell??? You're such an idot. I think she's beautiful, as is Chris Brown.

anyway, I had no idea she was from Barbados! I can't believe they get a Rhianna day! I love it
gail says – reply to this

42

As a Bajan i'm very proud of RiRi she has come a long way and has received a Grammy at such a young age. Everyone who has something negative to say should not say anything at all. You all are real DUMB! She doesn't care about the negative you say. She has more money than any of you will ever see.
Amanda says – reply to this

Re: mommymommy –

WTF I am a bajan and lemme tell you something, we are one of the richest islands in the Caribbean with a high standard of living, just because it is tiny doesn't mean that we need her money to help us, we get along very fine thank you. She has helped us plenty in terms of publicizing the island, and all for free. Kudos to her for not forgetting her roots.

Seriously you are just one ignorant person.

Re: No white man wants Rihanna –
TOO BAD RIHANNA IS HALF WHITE TOO. GOD YOURE STUPID. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE PERCENTAGE OF "PURE" WHITE PEOPLE IS LOW CONSIDERING HOW EUROPEANS LOVE HAVING SEX WITH BLACK AND NATIVE AMERICAN WOMEN… AS A RESULT, YOU PROBABLY HAVE BLACK IN YOU AND MOST BLACK PEOPLE HAVE WHITE IN THEM. DUMMY. GO READ A BOOK.

i don't know in what world rihanna couldn't get a white boy but it ain't this one…chris has a lot of talent and will only get bigger and better…i hate to bring this up but a big package goes a long way and chris is rumored to have that along with the fact that he is sweet

No white man wanted Jlo says – reply to this

57

J-LO could not get a single Hollywood white celeb to stay with her, now she is with an ugly, bony puerto Reekan. J-Lo must be real jealous of Thalia who not only has a gorgeous long-time WHITE husband who does not look dead, but Thalia is half-white herself, unlike J-LO who is just a Rekkan. How embarrassing for Jlo and her walking skeleton little PUERTO RICAN hubby. LOL

58

Wow they must have been hard up for celebrities in barbados when the girl who "sang" umbrella is given a national holiday, apparently she's so "talented" that in a rolling stone article dubbed "attack of the robot singers" her voice was sited for being "autotuned" she's a complete fake, she's no more genuine than Milli Viinnili.

Re: No white man wanted Jlo – Puerto Rican and Hispanic for that matter is not a race. If you are going to be a douche, at least know what the fuck you are talking about. Puerto Ricans, Cubans, etc are either white, black or mixed, just like Americans. Puerto Rican is a nationality.
DALE says – reply to this

65

re:JAZZY she was given her own day wasn't she? "Rihanna day" It's funny she has Jay-Z's stable of hit making songwriters and producers who constantly sample 80's tracks ie soft cell bands she's never heard of, has no musicianship, voice autotuned and is considered "talented" if you create enough hype around someone it blurs fact from fiction.
mark says – reply to this

66

Who cares. If she had any more makeup on, her face would fall off. She's probably one ugly chick in real life. Fuck both of them.

Re: No white man wants Rihanna – and No white man wants
J-Lo.

Dear Original Poster,

Thanks for attending our meeting in which all white men in the world got together and decided which ethnic celebrities we were interested in having romantic relationships with. If you recall, the agenda for the next meeting is to have your balls removed.

See you there, asshole!

Re: No white man wants Rihanna – I don't get it?!? Your comment makes no sense…. sounds like just an excuse to post an assinine, ignorant racist rant. News flash, asshole: NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN THIS RACIST BS ANYMORE… WE'RE ALL SICK OF IT… GET A CLUE AND JOIN THE 21ST CENTURY… NO ONE CARES… YOUR VIEWPOINTS ARE JUST PASSE!!!!!

I am quite confused because Rihanna has talked smack about her own people in Barbados. So, I understand why they love her but I don't understand giving her a holiday.
val says – reply to this

73

Rihanna is very beautiful, she was rated in the top 10 of most beautiful celeberties with out make up in the world. So just leave her alone,you people who knows nothing about Barbados.
melinda says – reply to this

74

Being of Bajan ancestry I do not see much in her to be proud of besides her career! OK so she's raised the profile of Barbados a bit more, but she seems to 'get around' the male species a lot in a questionable way, and knowing Bajans as I do they are often very conservative people! With this in mind she is not necessarily a good role model for younger people.
Lily says – reply to this

75

Let me just say as a Barbadian that the Barbadian people and government were extremely proud of Rihanna for her commercial success and recent award recognition and held a tribute concert celebrating her. It was not a national holiday that was simply the name the media gave to the day of the concert.
