After reveling until the early hours of the morning at the Crop Over Festival Foreday Morning Jam in Barbados on Saturday, Rihanna was right back at it again on Monday.
This time, Rihanna, 25, was seen sipping out of a hip flask as she danced on a float during the Kadooment carnival, part of the eight day festival.
This time, Rihanna showed off her bikini body in a traditional carnival-style bejewelled two-piece, featuring a low-cut top and a high-cut bottom.
The singer paired the ensemble with a matching necklace, feathered shin guards and headpiece, as well as two cuffs around her wrists and a smattering of diamantes applied to the side of her face.
Rihanna’s look was completed by a pair of fishnet tights and a pair of Adidas trainers on her feet.

She wore shimmering silver hues for make-up and shielded her eyes with a pair blue-tinted sunglasses.
Rihanna was joined by several other similarly scantily-clad women, including her best pal Melissa Forde, on the float as she reveled in the sunshine.
And she was once again accompanied by her dutiful bodyguard who was also forced to babysit her from midnight till 6AM as she “dutty wined” at the festival on Saturday.
While she is in her hometown, Rihanna was taking no chances when she was joined by two of her bodyguards on Saturday morning as she partied it up in the island’s capital Bridgetown.
Much like on Monday, Rihanna’s bodyguard had the arduous task of watching her party all night – drink in hand – rather raucously.

Rihanna and Karrueche Tran narrowly missed an awkward encounter when they both went on a night out to Play House in Hollywood on Thursday night.
While it is unknown whether Rihanna and Karrueche Tran had partied together inside, they both exited the venue separately.

Rihanna, 25, had snuck out the back entrance of the popular late night venue, while Karrueche Tran, 25, departed with a male pal at the front, alongside other party goers.
It is very unlikely that Rihanna and Karrueche Tran had exchanged words inside after having both enjoyed romances with Chris Brown consecutively.
Karrueche Tran is the last one to have picked up where Rihanna left off and is currently dating Chris Brown.
Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran sparked rumors of an official reconciliation in June when they cosied up for a picture together.
Earlier this year, Chris Brown dumped Karrueche Tran to be back in the arms of his superstar ex Rihanna.
But they broke up once more as Chris Brown revealed he would be enjoying his birthday without Rihanna during an Australian radio interview.
Chris Brown told the Kyle and Jackie O show: “I can’t really be focused on wife-ing somebody that young.”
And he seemed to have wasted no time in rekindling his romance with Karrueche Tran following the split.
Karrueche Tran is now even living in Chris Brown’s Hollywood Hills home.
Rihanna has won a legal battle with British clothing retailer Topshop over a T-shirt bearing her image.
Rihanna, 25, sued Topshop’s parent company Arcadia for $5 million over the T-shirts, which featured a photo taken during a video shoot in 2011.
The singer’s lawyers told the High Court in London the fashion chain duped fans and may have damaged her reputation.
They said the picture was “very similar” to images used on CD sleeves for one of her albums.
Judge Colin Birss ruled that a “substantial number” of buyers were likely to have been deceived into buying the T-shirt because of a “false belief” it had been approved by Rihanna.
He said it was damaging to her “goodwill” and represented a loss of control over Rihanna’s reputation in the “fashion sphere”.
Topshop’s lawyers had claimed Rihanna was making an unjustifiable bid to establish a “free standing image right” over use of her picture in the UK.
Rihanna sued Topshop for $5 million over the T-shirts, which featured a photo taken during a video shoot in 2011
The photograph used by Topshop had been taken during filming of a music video in Northern Ireland in 2011.
In a two-minute judgment, Justice Colin Birss said there was “no such thing as a general right by a famous person to control the reproduction of their image”.
“The taking of the photograph is not suggested to have breached Rihanna’s privacy,” he continued.
“The mere sale by a trader of a T-shirt bearing an image of a famous person is not an act of passing off.
“However, I find that Topshop’s sale of this T-shirt was an act of passing off.”
Justice Colin Birss did not make an assessment of any liable damages in his ruling.
Topshop said it was “surprised, disappointed and perplexed” by the High Court decision.
“There was no intention to create an appearance of an endorsement or promotion,” it said.
“We feel that the fact that Rihanna has shopped, worn and had a relationship with Topshop for several years appears to have been detrimental to our case.”
Rihanna has her own fashion line at River Island. Her first collection for the fashion retailer went on sale in spring 2013.
According to Forbes magazine, Lady Gaga is the top earning celebrity under 30 years old.
Lady Gaga made an estimated $80 million in the last 12 months, despite cancelling part of her tour to have hip surgery.
Last year she was ranked at number four, while Taylor Swift, who topped the poll in 2012, has dropped to third place with $55 million.
Justin Bieber is in second place again this year with $58 million.
The Forbes website claims that Lady Gaga would have earned even more had she not had to cancel part of her world tour in February.
She recently announced her next album, Artpop, would be released in November with a single due out on August 19.
To make the list, Forbes magazine estimated the entertainment-related income of celebrities between June 2012 and June 2013 by talking to agents, managers, producers and executives.
Lady Gaga is the top earning celebrity under 30 years old
The other artists in the top five are Calvin Harris with $46 million and Rihanna, who earned $43 million.

Chris Brown is allegedly being charged with hit and run.
According to TMZ, Chris Brown, 24, has been hit with two criminal charges by the L.A. City Attorney.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred last month when Chris Brown allegedly rear-ended another driver but reportedly refused to give her his driver’s license or pass over correct insurance details.
The singer’s Range Rover reportedly inflicted “medium damage” on the Mercedes in Toluca Lake in May, according to a report from TMZ.
Chris Brown, who didn’t try and flee the scene, has more to lose than most as he’s still on probation for beating on and off girlfriend Rihanna back in 2009.
As well as reportedly being charged with hit and run, he has also been charged with driving without a license, claim TMZ.
Each charge carries a maximum of six months in jail, however the City Attorney is said to be intent on raising the incidents with the L.A. County D.A.
Chris Brown is allegedly being charged with hit and run
Chris Brown could be in violation of his parole and if he is found guilty he could be sentenced to up to four years in prison.
The singer on Tuesday spoke out about the reports on his Twitter account, calling the incident “ridiculous” and denying that he gave the other driver false details.
“It’s not a hit and run if u get out the car, exchange information (who has NO DAMAGE to either cars).This is really ridiculous,” Chris Brown wrote.
“I have a valid drivers license and I gave the woman the right info. She saw cameras and wanted to make a scene.”
Chris Brown then accused the woman of trying to make money out of the incident.
“She contacted the cops thinking of a payday from Chris Brown when I followed the proper procedures,” he wrote.
“My lawyers will be contacting you. I will not stand for this bullying and yellow journalism!”
Chris Brown also updated his avatar on the social networking site, changing it to a picture of the Mercedes in question in an effort to prove that there was no damage done to the other car.
“Based on My profile pic is the pic I took of the persons car after <<the hit and run>>. NO damage. Just a dirty car.once again, I gotta clear my name,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, on Monday it was claimed that Chris Brown did not harm a woman who accused him of assault at a nightclub, according to the establishment’s owner.
Deanna Gines, 24, alleges that Chris Brown pushed her to the ground while partying at Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim, California, on Saturday.
However, the club’s owners said they have reviewed security footage and insist Chris Brown has been wrongly accused.
“Based on the information which we have gathered from our security company, mall security, and other party goers which were at HEAT on Saturday night; It is apparent that the alleged incident regarding Chris Brown is false,” they said.
Rihanna has been caught on camera violently hitting an over eager fan in the face with her microphone during a recent concert in Birmingham.
Rihanna, 25, can be seen in the footage, which was posted on YouTube by a fan at the gig, running along the front of the crowd as she continued singing.
But as the over excited fans tried to grab her as she ran along Rihanna was then seen turning back as she launched her microphone in the air and slammed it in to one fan’s face before continuing with her concert.
Rihanna was in Birmingham on the latest stop of her Diamonds World Tour when the alleged incident happened.
In the clip of the clash she angrily uses her mic to launch forward as she tried to get on her way.
Rihanna has been caught on camera violently hitting an over eager fan in the face with her microphone during a recent concert in Birmingham
It is believed it was the same concert where Rihanna upset fans by turning up more than two hours late after partying with her model pal Cara Delevingne the night before.
Rihanna and Cara Delevingne were out and about in London on Sunday night after her show there, turning up at the posh Bouijs nightclub at 1.45 a.m. on Monday and leaving at 3.15 a.m.
The singer’s love of the daring outfits caused her to have a wardrobe malfunction at the club, where she went to watch her brother Rorrey Fenty rap.
It is doubtful her fans in Birmingham would have appreciated the display of family solidarity on Monday night, as they were kept waiting for her scheduled 8 p.m. appearance before she eventually went on at around 10.30 p.m. according to Radaronline.com.
Rihanna had also been partying with Cara Delevingne on Saturday night, and reviews for her concert in Twickenham the next day were panned by The London Standard.
The paper’s review said: “It didn’t quite feel historic and at times, Rihanna even appeared a bit bored.
“As her penchant for casually singing over the top of her own records at shows suggests, Rihanna wasn’t the most vigorous performer, and she looked dead-eyed …Rihanna deserves a break and so do we.”
It seems Rihanna is going through several woes at the moment.
Not only has she recently split with her ex boyfriend Chris Brown again and had to deal with him reigniting his relationship with Karrueche Tran, but a man was also arrested for creeping around on Rihanna’s roof on Monday night.

Drake has decided to break his silence on Chris Brown and Rihanna, after he was involved in a brawl with Chris in a Manhattan nightclub last year.
In an interview with the July issue of GQ magazine, Drake reveals how he would like to talk to Chris Brown about the incident face to face.
“I hear he has everything he could want now,” Drake said referring to Chris Brown’s relationships with Karreuche Tran and Rihanna.
“I don’t want my name to be synonymous with that guy’s name. I really don’t. I wish we could sit down, just like you and me are right now, and talk it out man-to-man. But that’s not going to happen.”
A fight broke out between Drake and Chris Brown at W.i.P night club in Manhattan last June when bottles of alcohol were reportedly thrown around the venue.
In an interview with the July issue of GQ magazine, Drake reveals how he would like to talk to Chris Brown about their last year brawl face to face
Tony Parker, the French basketball player who was once married to actress Eva Longoria, who was at the nightclub, claimed he was hurt during the fight, and others were left with serious injuries.
There were reports that it had kicked off after Drake sent a message to Chris Brown bragging that he had slept with Rihanna.
Drake added: “It’s embarrassing, the amount of media coverage…Two rappers fighting over the woman. He’s not even a rapper, but still, it’s the last way you want your name out there. It distracts from the music. But he’s made me the enemy, and that’s the way it’s gonna stay, I guess.”
After her breakup from Chris Brown, Rihanna was romantically linked with rapper Drake which is said to have infuriated Chris.
Earlier this year it seemed that the feud between the two was still very much alive when Drake was reportedly asked to leave a club in Hollywood because Rihanna and Chris Brown had turned up.
At the time the couple refused to acknowledge one another after both arriving at the club with their posses.
Worryingly, Drake also hinted that he fears for singer Rihanna’s safety – following Chris Brown’s assault on her at the Grammys in 2009.
He said: “If I think about it too much, I feel it wrapping around my foot, like I get a feeling it could end really badly.”
Drake added: “Like, it gets really dark.”
However, the rapper doesn’t appear to acknowledge the other controversial aspect of his life, his relationship with Amanda Bynes.
Earlier this year, Amanda Bynes posted a series of bizarre messages about the star claiming that she wanted to have s** with him.
More recently, though Amanda Bynes appears to have changed tack instead labeling Drake “ugly”.
Complex magazine named Rihanna number one on its 100 Hottest Women Right Now list, released this week.
The publication, which Rihanna covered in January, credited her busy year as the main attribute to her hotness.
Deeming Rihanna’s seventh Grammy Award win for her We Found Love music video as her greatest accomplishment this year, Complex never once mentioned her oft-revealed killer body as one of the qualities that made her the hottest.

Rihanna, 25, has been touring in Barcelona as of Saturday.
The singer tweeted a picture of herself with Brigitte Bardot-esque new blonde locks, saying: “It’s about that time #BARCELONA.”
In the image, Rihanna peered through her newly short fringe that she parted in the centre, and large barrel curls flowed around her face.
Rihanna launched her world tour back in March, taking overseas in May and continuing with dates in the UK, France, Netherlands and ending in Australia and New Zealand in October.
The tour, which is Rihanna’s fifth since releasing her first single Pon De Replay in 2005, features specially designed couture by Givenchy, Christian Dior, Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin.
On Tuesday night, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rihanna met up backstage at her concert in Lisbon, Portugal.
Real Madrid football player Cristiano Ronaldo posted a picture backstage with Rihanna following the show, flashing the peace sign as the singer pouted next to him for the camera.
Cristiano Ronaldo captioned the shot with a casual: “Yesterday at @rihanna’ s concert.”
It’s not the first time Cristiano Ronaldo has made headlines by posing up with popstars.

Last week, the sportsman met One Direction at the Spanish club’s training ground, as the boys took some time out from their whistle-stop European tour to train with Jose Mourinho’s men in the Spanish capital.
At the end of their brief kickabout, three of the band members enjoyed a meet-and-greet with the manager, who presented them with a Real Madrid shirt, before they caught up with the players.
“They told us that we had the opportunity to come to see the Real Madrid players and that was very exciting for us,” revealed Niall Horan.
“It is amazing to see how they train and see so many such good players. We are big football fans and Real Madrid are one of the best teams on the planet.”
Fellow bandmate Liam Payne added: “Cristiano Ronaldo is my favorite player, he is one of the best in the world.”
Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran have been spotted spending plenty of time together ever since his 24th birthday at the beginning of May.
It seems things are going so well between Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran once again that they have started living together full time.
According to TMZ, Karrueche Tran has been staying with Chris Brown since they got together again and she has already moved most of her clothing and other personal belongings into his Hollywood Hills home.
The website reports Karrueche Tran has wisely decided to keep her own apartment for the time being.
While the couple have been spending lots of time together recently, they have not gone public with their relationship.

However, they recently engaged in a raunchy Twitter exchange and earlier this week Karrueche Tran was on hand when Chris Brown rear ended another car, suggesting that they are indeed back together.
It is unclear how his other on/off lover Rihanna, who is currently in Morocco, will react to the news.
The latest twist in the love triangle comes as Rihanna is reportedly very upset with Topshop heiress Chloe Green.
In recent months Chloe green has been spotted partying with Chris Brown on a number of occasions.
And in what may or may not be a coincidence Chloe Green’s father Sir Philip is currently facing a $5 million lawsuit from Rihanna.
A source close to Rihanna revealed: “She knows exactly what goes on in Chris’s life and she has been aware about Chloe for a while – she’s really not happy. Rihanna considered Chloe a friend.”
Karrueche Tran was left disappointed last October when Chris Brown ended their relationship to get back with his former flame Rihanna.
But just months after confirming his reconciliation with Rihanna, Chris Brown announced that they had split again during an interview with Australian radio hosts Kyle & Jackie O Show.
After her arrest scandal, Amanda Bynes turned her anger toward Rihanna Sunday, posting a series of racist and offensive remarks about the singer and her relationship with Chris Brown.
Amanda Bynes, 27, briefly posted a number of tweets about Rihanna, 25, before deleting the comments.
The tirade began with Amanda Bynes writing: “@rihanna you look so ugly tryin (sic) to be white,” followed within minutes by a message blaming Rihanna for being assaulted by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
Within two minutes Amanda Bynes had deleted the first post.
Then just a few moments later, she attacked Rihanna again with a reference to Chris Brown’s assault on her in 2009, claiming he did so because the singer was unattractive.
Amanda Bynes posted a series of racist and offensive remarks about Rihanna and her relationship with Chris Brown
“Chris Brown beat you because you’re not pretty enough,” Amanda Bynes tweeted.
Amanda Bynes then retweeted a post by Rihanna: “Look who came to see me!! My lover Stella McCartney!!!” to which the former actress responded: “No one wants to be your lover so you call everyone and their mother that I almost named my new dog Rihanna.”
Rihanna, who is known for her own feisty temper on Twitter, appeared to address the remarks within minutes of their posting.
“Ya see what happens when they cancel Intervention?” the singer wrote.
Amanda Bynes returned fire accusing the 25-year-old of doing d**gs.
“Unlike ur fugly faced self I don’t do d**gs! U need the intervention dog! I met ur ugly face in person! U aren’t pretty u know it!”
Speculation persists if Amanda Bynes’ unrequited love for Rihanna’s rumored ex-boyfriend and collaborator, rapper Drake, sparked the Twitter attack.
Amanda Bynes’ online infatuation with the musician has been well-documented. She famously tweeted in March she wanted Drake to “murder my va**na”.

Chris Brown and his ex girlfriend Karrueche Tran engaged in a very raunchy Twitter exchange on Saturday and it appears the rumors that they are back together may very well be true.
Chris Brown, 24, was involved in a minor car accident on Tuesday in Los Angeles after he rear ended another car, and none other than Karreuche Tran, 24, was seen standing with him at the scene.
In one shot, Chris Brown is seen with a stormy look on his face as he stands to the side while the blonde female whose car he hit talks next to him on her cellphone.
The singer wore a black sweater, baggy grey sweatpants and white trainers, accessorizing with layers of gold chains around his neck.
Model Karreuche tran, meanwhile, wore ripped jeans and a blue top as she played an active role on the scene, taking pictures of the dented car with her cellphone.
The new pictures certainly add fuel to the rumors that the former couple is giving their relationship another go.
Chris Brown was involved in a minor car accident after he rear ended another car, and none other than Karreuche Tran was seen standing with him at the scene
Celebrating her birthday on Saturday, Karrueche Tran made the somewhat bizarre move of posting a picture of herself with Chris Brown on her Instagram page.
Alongside the candid picture, Karrueche Tran wrote: “TBT my birthday last year. Who’s face am I gonna put my a** in this year? Lmao I’m kidding.”
And it was obviously a happy memory for Chris Brown, as he responded to her unusual Twitter gesture with the tweet: “Happy bday @karrueche.”
Karrueche Tran then sent a simple reply of her own, a heart, adding yet further fuel to rumors the pair are thinking of reuniting.
A source told Hollywood Life: “He’s been initiating contact with her, not the other way around. I wouldn’t say Karrueche and Chris are together but they are talking and kicking it.”
Karreuche Tran was left disappointed last October when Chris Brown ended their relationship to get back with his former flame Rihanna.
But just months after confirming his reconciliation with Rihanna, Chris Brown announced that they had split again during an interview with Australian radio hosts Kyle & Jackie O Show.
Chris Brown said: “The way I look at it is, I’m always going to love that person, but people have differences, and people have different wants and needs, at the end of the day she’s a young girl.”

Rihanna says she will sue Topshop after claiming they sold T-shirts with her face on it without asking permission.
Rihanna’s team is said to have told the British high street clothing chain run by billionaire Sir Philip Green to stop selling them, and is reported to be asking for $5 million in compensation at the High Court.
The legal threat comes despite Rihanna having dined with Sir Philip Green and music mogul Simon Cowell while on her Christmas break to Barbados in 2010.
Rihanna, who last year signed a deal worth a rumored $1,250,000 to design a range with High Street rival River Island, tweeted about the Boxing Day meal they had together, saying: “Just had dinner w/ Simon Cowell Philip Green @ Sandy Lane! Great night!”
The singer has also spent time with Sir Philip Green’s daughter Chloe while holidaying at the same time in the Caribbean two years ago.
It was even rumored Rihanna, 25, might follow in the footsteps of Kate Moss and design a range for Topshop, but the two parties could now face each other in court.
Last year Topshop released a T-shirt featuring a picture of Rihanna from her We Found Love music video, which sold out quickly afterwards
Last year Topshop released a T-shirt featuring a picture of Rihanna from her We Found Love music video, which sold out quickly afterwards.
It is understood this is the garment at the centre of the row.
In Britain companies could argue that by buying the image from the photographer, they do not have to pay licensing fees to the star pictured.
A source close to Rihana said she was offered a small sum of cash and Topshop told her management “we do what we want”, according to Page Six.
“Rihanna’s management asked Topshop a number of times to stop selling her image,” the source said.
“What is most offensive for Rihanna is that they basically told her, <<Go to hell. We don’t care; we are going to continue selling you>>.
“Even though the UK laws don’t protect the artist, she has decided to move forward and sue Topshop. She has spent almost $1 million in litigation at this point. She says it’s the principle, and wants to make a statement about it. They are taking advantage of artists. It is just exploitation. What they are doing is wrong.”
Topshop is a British retail powerhouse which is trying to expand in America, setting up stores in New York.
A company source said: “This issue is related to a T-shirt provided to Topshop by a third party supplier.
“We have been informed that the claimants documents do not mention any specific level of financial damages so any numbers referenced are fictitious.”

Rihanna and Chris Brown have taken to Twitter to voice their mutual contempt for each other.
They sent out thinly veiled tweets on Thursday and Friday seemingly accusing each other of playing the field while they dated.
Rihanna, 25, started it off, uploading an Instagram picture on Thursday with the words: “If I drop all my hoes for you and we still don’t work out you owe me some hoes.”
Although the meaning isn’t clear, the picture insinuates that Rihanna either dropped all her friends when she was with Chris Brown or that he was unfaithful to her.
Rihanna and Chris Brown have taken to Twitter to voice their mutual contempt for each other
Chris Brown, 24, then upped the nastiness factor by tweeting on Friday: “She’s not mine if she’s everybody elses.”
They also sent out tweets on Wednesday that appeared to be directed at each other, with Chris Brown tweeting: “Sometimes loving someone is too much! So loving from a distance will help everyone grow! Be blessed. Live ya life!”
Rihanna then tweeted her own message a short while later, stating: “Settling is not an option! Nothing less than 100% loyalty, honesty, and respect!! Love ain’t for kidz #butimsleeptho.”
Chris Brown’s Friday tweet comes after reports that Rihanna was partying with ex JR Smith on Tuesday after her show in New York.
But the rapper isn’t blameless himself after he spent his birthday celebrations last weekend partying with ex-girlfriend Karreuche Tran.
Chris Brown recently made some kinder comments about the break-up during an interview on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show: “I’m always going to love that person … [but] I can’t be focused on wife-ing someone that young – I need to step forward and be a man and be the best Chris Brown I can be.”
Chris Brown has confirmed he and Rihanna are taking a break from one another after she was absent from his birthday celebrations all weekend.
“I’m always going to love that person … [but] I can’t be focused on wife-ing someone that young – I need to step forward and be a man and be the best Chris Brown I can be,” Chris Brown, 24, said on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show.

“Live and you f***ing learn!” the singer tweeted Monday morning.
“I’m just focus on my music.”
“I mean at the end of the day, [Rihanna] is doing her own thing, she’s on the road,” he told the Australian radio hosts.
“It’s always gonna be love – I’m a grown man, just gotta fast forward.”
“I’m just trying to have, you know, the best time and basically celebrate with all my fans and all the people in the club,” Chris Brown explained.
Showing Chris Brown what he’s missing, Rihanna posted a picture with her gal pals Cara Delevigne and Georgia May Jagger on Sunday: “Yup! We definitely have more fun!! #blondelife #backstagebehavior @caradelevingne @georgiamayjagger.”
On Saturday, Chris Brown continued his 24th birthday bender at 1 OAK Nightclub in Las Vegas, where he wound up shirtless, smoking cigarettes and drinking the night away.

Chris Brown celebrated his 24th birthday for a second night and he did not seem to be missing Rihanna.
Chris Brown continued his birthday bender on Saturday night at 1 OAK Nightclub in Las Vegas, where he wound up shirtless, smoking cigarettes and drinking the night away.
He brought an entourage of friends to the club where they took over the DJ booth and made the place their own until 5 a.m.
Chris Brown continued his birthday bender on Saturday night at 1 OAK Nightclub in Las Vegas
Chris Brown started the night off dressed in a rather civilized all-black hooded ensemble.
He posed outside of the 1 OAK Nightclub, sunglasses on and ready to party.
Chris Brown is said to have signed a lucrative deal with the club, which may be what brought him to the venue for the second round of his birthday celebrations.
Later in the night, the raging began when Chris Brown rid himself of the hooded sweater revealing a black singlet.
He popped a cigarette in his mouth and seemingly took control of the DJ booth whilst his friends partied it up at a VIP table.
It was not long before even the singlet became too much, so Chris Brown tore it off and danced raucously above the crowd with a group of friends, including a horde of excited women.
There was almost always a cigarette and drink in hand as singer partied for hours.
Chris Brown, who seems to have regained control of his Twitter account after having it suspended, gave all the gory details of what seems to have been a rather intense night of partying.
“Do too wasted at the party. Threw up crazy!! Lol!” he tweeted, giving away a little too much information.
Meanwhile, Chris Brown’s on-again-off-again girlfriend Rihanna enjoyed her own celebration – at a basketball game.
Rihanna looked glamorous in a slinky black outfit and sexy black lace-up heels as she sat courtside to watch the Chicago Bulls play against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.
She is currently in New York on her Diamonds World Tour… hence her inability to attend round one and two of Chris Brown’ s celebrations.
But if what the singer tweeted last week is anything to go by, a party with Rihanna may be next on his list.
“LA, VEGAS, NEW YORK! Celebrating this WEEK on to the next week! #birthdayturnup,” Chris Brown tweeted last Thursday.
Chris Brown sparked rumors of splitting from Rihanna when he was joined by his ex Karrueche Tran at his birthday party on Friday, with his girlfriend nowhere in sight.
Chris Brown celebrated his 24th birthday – which is actually on May 5th – at the Emerson nightclub in Los Angeles.
Rumors have been circulating that there may be trouble in paradise once again for Chris Brown and Rihanna, which was only made worse by Karrueche Tran’s attendance.
However, source told HollywoodLife.com that Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran are “cool friends” and Rihanna is OK with them hanging out from time to time.
It appears Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran are cool friends and Rihanna is OK with them hanging out from time to time
The insider added that Chris Brown and Rihanna are “into each other way too f***ing much” to let his friendship with Karrueche Tran come between them.
Chris Brown, who is still on probation for violently beating Rihanna in 2009, previously revealed he would always have a soft spot for his former flame Karrueche Tran – who was recently said to have moved on with NBA star John Wall – because she supported him during the worst time in his life.
The singer said: “She was my friend through it all. It was a friendship more than a relationship. I still love her, but at the end of the day, it’s like I got love for her. She gone always be my homie!”
Chris Brown also said he wishes “all the best to her. We still have a clothing line. I only want her to progress. I don’t want to stop her blessings”.
He is set to host a huge birthday bash in 1 Oak nightclub in Las Vegas on Saturday and is trying to convince Rihanna to join him for the night after she was forced to postpone her concert in Brooklyn, New York on Sunday because the Brooklyn Nets need the venue to compete in the playoffs.
A source said: “That’s his number one and he wishes she could be with him on his birthday just like he was with her.
“But that’s just how it goes sometime. They can’t be together every second.”
Rihanna is currently in New York for her Diamonds World Tour, and sources have revealed that work commitments are preventing the couple from finding much time to spend together.
A source told HollywoodLife: “It’s up and down sometimes, the s**t is even sideways. Every time some s**t pops off between them, they blast that s**t all over social media, and they shouldn’t.
“But when they’re far apart, that’s how they act out towards each other when one of them doesn’t get their own way. It’s crazy as f**k, but it’s how they get down.”

Chris Brown celebrated his 24th birthday – which is actually on May 5th – at the Emerson nightclub in LA on Friday night, with former flame Karrueche Tran but without Rihanna.
The move is sparking rumors that there might be trouble in paradise for Rihanna and Chris Brown once again.
Rihanna, 25, is currently in New York for her Diamonds World Tour, and sources have revealed that work commitments are preventing the couple from finding much time to spend together.
A source told HollywoodLife: “It’s up and down sometimes, the s**t is even sideways. Every time some s**t pops off between them, they blast that s**t all over social media, and they shouldn’t.
“But when they’re far apart, that’s how they act out towards each other when one of them doesn’t get their own way. It’s crazy as f**k, but it’s how they get down.”

Possibly trying to take his mind off his far-away girlfriend, Chris Brown hit LA to celebrate his upcoming birthday with some famous friends.
The singer was joined by Christina Milian, David Hasslehoff, Chloe Green and ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran as he partied the night away.
Chris Brown kept it casual for the celebration, wearing khaki-colored chinos and a white T-shirt. He wore an open chequered shirt and completed his look with a pair of black hi-top trainers.
Karrueche Tran – who was dumped by Chris Brown when he got back with Rihanna last year – showed off her slimline figure as she helped her ex celebrate.
Topshop heiress Chloe Green also attended in a white see-through top and leather trousers.

RiRi Woo, Rihanna’s new lipstick for MAC, has sold out just three hours after going on sale for the first time.
Rihanna, 25, announced her Twitter followers that her MAC lipstick was finally available to buy yesterday afternoon – but just a short while later she posted an update letting fans know that there were no more left.
“#SOLDOUT!!!!!!!!!! First shipment sell awf!!! Next shipment isn’t til June!!! Mac girls gone wild!!!…” the singer wrote.
RiRi Woo, Rihanna’s new lipstick for MAC, has sold out just three hours after going on sale for the first time
The shade, RiRi Woo, is a twist on MAC favorite Ruby Woo. It is the first product from Rihanna’s “multi-collection deal” with MAC.
Announcing the launch of the RiRi Hearts MAC line in February, Rihanna revealed that she had enlisted some of her girlfriends to help with the line.
“Working with MAC, it’s difficult to get a red lipstick that beats Ruby Woo, because it works on every skin tone,” she told WWD.
“I got to pick one that worked, and I tried it on all my friends to make sure it worked on all of our skin tones.”
The rest of the RiRi Hearts MAC will launch in four seasonal collections over the coming year and will also include eye shadow palettes, brushes and false lashes.

Rihanna said she jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with the cosmetics giant.
“Being creative is something that I love,” the singer said.
“So I can put that into different outlets. My make-up looks, my fashion looks…they help me to express myself as an artist. . .
“I’ve been using MAC on tour for such a long time it was a natural fit for me.”
MAC is no stranger to celebrity collaborations, having previously worked with Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks to name a few.
But RiRi Hearts MAC marks the first time that the brand has taken on a famous person for more than just a one-off collaboration.
John Demsey, the group president of MAC’s parent company Estee Lauder Cos. Inc, told WWD: “These four collections are like four tracks on a Rihanna compilation. Each one has its own vibe, look, special make-up packaging and flavor.”
Rihanna was forced to cancel her Houston concert due to an undisclosed illness after she’s already postponed two stops on her Diamonds World Tour since it started in early March.
Promoter Live Nation was once again left having to contact ticket holders and let them know that “as a result of illness” Rihanna would not be performing.
Instead of taking to Twitter as she has done in the past to beg forgiveness from her fans, it seems Rihanna, 25, has had other things on her mind.
As well as sending her condolences to all those involved in the Boston Marathon bombings, Rihanna also sent a Happy Birthday message to her brother Rajad.
The singer wrote: “Happy Birthday to the love of my life @RjFenty15.”
Rihanna was forced to cancel her Houston concert due to an undisclosed illness
According to Hollywood Life, Rihanna has been struck down with laryngitis once again, which is what led her to cancel the Boston stop of her tour too.
A source told the website: “She feels bad, but what can she do? This cold and laryngitis … just ain’t the business, but she will bounce back. She just laying it down, trying to get better.”
Rihanna’s health has been an issue throughout the tour and she has reportedly been told to curb her party-loving lifestyle if she wants to fulfill her touring commitments.
After bowing out of the Boston and Baltimore legs of her epic seven-month tour, Rihanna is said to be taking the advice of doctors, who expressed concerns about the effect her late nights, smoking and boozing could have on her overall health.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Rihanna’s illness was so severe that doctors warned it could take months for her to fully recover – there were worries that she’d have to cancel her entire tour.
“They’ve told her that she needs to make some serious lifestyle changes, or risk this happening again. This has given her a scare. But Rihanna knows it’s partly self-inflicted.
“She loves to smoke, drink and stay up late. Her body was bound to need a break at some point. She’s now on a mission to start looking after herself.”
Meanwhile it has been confirmed that Rihanna is not the new face of Chanel, despite much online speculation.

Big Pat, Chris Brown’s bodyguard, has accused Drake of sending an offensive note before their brawl at Soho’s W.i.P nightclub in a new lawsuit.
Big Pat, 43, real name Patrick Strickland, is suing Drake and the W.i.P nightclub over the nasty head cut he suffered when the melee kicked off in New York last June.
He claims the nightspot is responsible for his injury because it sat chris Brown and Drake’s entourages near each other, even though workers there knew they were feuding over Rihanna.
According to the New York Daily News, Big Pat refers to Drake as “a popular and successful, albeit critically derided, entertainer” in legal papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Big Pat, who is suing for unspecified damages, claims the club’s seating arrangements created “a substantial and unjustifiable risk that a mass altercation would occur between the two camps”.
Chris Brown’s bodyguard also alleges the club over-served Drake and his cohorrts, and had an employee hand Brown a note from Drake that read: “I’m f*****g the love of your life.”
Big Pat, Chris Brown’s bodyguard, has accused Drake of sending an offensive note before their brawl at Soho’s W.i.P nightclub in a new lawsuit
This allegedly led to a “verbal altercation” which escalated into a “massive bar brawl that involved bottle throwing, possible gunshots and a general state of riot and disorder”.
Contemporary reports said Big Pat was hit in the head and required stitches, and the suit says he endured “severe and disfiguring injuries to his face, head and eyes”.
The suit, which also names W.i.P.’s sister club Greenhouse and various parties associated with the party spots, is the latest in a string of legal actions relating to the incident.
The saga is becoming every more complicated, and last month it emerged the owners of the nightclub are arguing Chris Brown and Drake should be the ones to pay any damages to NBA player Tony Parker, another person who was caught in the crossfire.
Eva Longoria’s ex-husband is one of several people claiming they were injured in the brawl and filed a $20 million lawsuit against the club soon after.
Tony Parker claims he suffered a corneal laceration to his left eye among other injuries, and is seeking $20 million in damages.
The W.i.P’s owners, who are facing several suits, filed documents last week in New York saying Tony Parker should be pursing Chris Brown and Drake instead because they “contributed to, instigated, participated and/or engaged” in the brawl.
They want any and all damages awarded to the San Antonio Spurs player to come from Chris Brown and Drake, though it is still be decided what they should be as the case is still pending.
This is despite Tony Parker not naming Drake or Chris Brown in court documents hedged against owners of W.i.P.
It was previously reported Chris Brown and Drake are now suing each other over the incident.
Previous court documents indicate neither party is claiming responsibility for the fracas on June 14 last year, in the event a third party wins a suit filed against both men for damages suffered as a result over the fracas.
It has also been revealed French model Romain Julien filed suit against both Chris Brown and Drake, real name Aubrey Drake Graham, in August 2012 after sustaining injuries in the fight, which saw bottles flying between entourages at the club.
Romain Julien claims he suffered a severed tendon in his right hand, lacerations, a cosmetic deformity and mental distress as a result of the incident.
Newly-obtained filings show both Drake, 26, and Chris Brown, 23, are asking a judge to blame the event on each other to avoid having to deliver on a potentially large payday should Romain Julien win the suit.
It would mark the first time Chris Brown and Drake have sued one another.
Last November police revealed they had no plans to file criminal charges over the incident after concluding their investigation.
It is believed Chris Brown – who is still on probation for assaulting Rihanna in 2009 – sent a bottle of champagne to Drake’s table as a peace offering but it was returned with a note reading: “I’m f*****g the love of your life, deal with it.”
The gesture is then thought to have angered Chris Brown and resulted in him confronting Drake, who allegedly threw a punch at his rival, leading to a brawl breaking out.
Two other women who claim they were injured in the incident have filed suit.
Club owners at W.i.P also have pending litigation against Drake and Chris Brown.
Justin Bieber unveiled his new haircut at a meet and greet with fans over the weekend.
The last time Justin Bieber dramatically changed his haircut it cost him just over 80,000 followers on Twitter.

Justin Bieber unveiled his new haircut at a meet and greet with fans over the weekend
His hair, which was revealed on Saturday, bears a strong resemblance to both Rihanna and Miley Cyrus who famously sported the pixie-style cut in the past.
Justin Bieber’s cut has split his fans with some loving the new style and others openly hating it.
One of them said: “What the hell has justin bieber done to his hair. Officially don’t fancy him anymore.”
Another posted: “JUSTIN BIEBER WHY WOULD YOU CUT YOUR HAIR LIKE THIS!? #ew #why.”
Another follower added: “Justin Bieber’s new haircut reminds me of Miley Cyrus or Rihanna lol.”
One fan in favor of Justin Bieber’s new haircut said: “OMB, @justinbieber NEW HAIRCUT, CAN’T BREATH, HE LOOKING SO SFGGADKLJFKLDSJFKL PERFECT. THE HAIRFLIP IS BACK! OMFB!”
One reason for Justin Bieber’s trim may be down to him wanting a fresh start since splitting up with Selena Gomez earlier this year.
The teen idol has also been dogged with bad publicity after a disastrous stay in London during his world tour which included him threatening paparazzi and upsetting fans by being late on stage.
As well as being compared to Rihanna and Miley, Justin Bieber’s locks have been likened to his original and famous swoop bangs.
The singer takes his appearance very seriously and likes to switch up his image from time to time.
When speaking to Oprah Winfrey in 2012 about changing his quiff in favor of a spiked-do he said: “I liked my long hair, but I was getting tired of it. I wanted to change it up a little bit.”
In 2011 Justin Bieber raised $40,668 on eBay after he sold a clump of his hair to the highest bidder.

“Me being young, even with relationships in the past, I did a lot of lying, I did everything just to make sure nobody gets hurt in the process.”
Karrueche Tran, his then live-in girlfriend of more than a year, did seem very hurt especially about Chris Brown making a public video.
She took to Twitter at the time saying: “WTF is going on?”
“All I am saying is… You don’t mess with people’s genuine feelings. You just don’t!”
Despite Karrueche Tran being left feeling blindsided, Chris Brown insisted on the station on Monday that it had to be done.
“I just don’t feel it’s necessary anymore in my life. Nobody can hate me for being honest. I had to just be brutal. I told both of them that the video was coming out.
“I’m not trying to be a player. It’s never an easy situation to tell another person that you still love another person, so that’s kinda difficult.
“But our friendship, me and Karrueche’s friendship, is still cool. We’re still good friends.”
Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown officially split in October, the same time Chris was spotted with Rihanna, whom he was convicted of viciously assaulting in 2009.
LA station Power 106 sparked rumors that Chris Brown and Rihanna had already split over the weekend after tweeting: “Are you still w/ @Rihanna? @ChrisBrown: Uh, no – that’s the short answer just now to @BigBoy POWER 106 LA @TuneIn.”
Later on Monday Chris Brown however made it clear he was still with Rihanna during an appearance on the Today Show.
When Today Show’s host Matt Lauer asked him if they were still together, Chris Brown replied: “Absolutely. Everything is fine.”

In an interview to promote his new album Fine China, Chris Brown said that his 52 week stint in domestic violence counseling finally made him see the error of his ways.
“I think it is just proving myself once again and me being a man. Knowing what I did was wrong and never doing it again,” the singer told Matt Lauer.
“As far as she [Rihanna] and I are concerned, she knows my heart and I know her heart. I am not really focused on the negative, everything is positive for me. I did my 52 weeks of couseling and learned it was absolutely wrong.”
Chris Brown said that during counseling he played the incident in his head over and over again.
“It was domestic violence counseling. A 52 week program. Every Monday in Virginia, I remember going, sitting in there thinking <<why did I do what I did?>> I really just wanted to get help,” he told Matt Lauer.
When Matt Lauer asked Chris Brown if he could promise that won’t ever happen again, the star repeatedly told him “absolutely”.
Chris Brown also told Matt Lauer that he was now concentrating on moving forward “positively”, but realized that not everybody will be willing to forgive him.
“I am moving forward, positively. I think for me it is about proving myself to my fans and for me my fans have been my number one support,” Chris Brown said.
“The naysayers are going to have their opinion. Anything I do… It’s not going to be <<Chris is the greatest>>. So I am not going to focus my life on pleasing those people. The only thing I can do is please my family, myself and please her [Rihanna] and my fans.”
