Rihanna Shows Off Bikini Body, Lets Loose in St. Tropez

Rihanna Shows Off Bikini Body, Lets Loose in St. Tropez

Rihanna is a work hard, play harder kind of gal, it seems. She's been busy most of the year with touring and fending off Chris Brown relationship rumors, but her summer vacation has been filled with plenty of down time. The singer has traveled to NYC, Barbados, Italy, and now on a luxury yacht in the South of France.

Photographers caught up with the star and her pals in the middle of the ocean Saturday. They captured some awesome shots of her sporting a sexy bikini, getting some serious air on a jet ski, sipping Coronas, tanning with her pals, and more. There are even pictures of her visit from basketball star Magic Johnson! There are no hardships on that ship.

Of course, Rihanna has kept connected with her fans (her "Navy") and friends with the handy dandy onboard Wi-Fi connection. She's been tweeting pictures of her vacation as well as posting birthday messages to pals and updates about the paparazzi helping her friend who fell off a jet ski.

However, her at sea updates have also sparked a little scandal. She tweeted this message Friday: "Sorry, no phone service in the middle of the ocean! Just Internet! Call you back when I got signal boo! Miss ya" Of course, this got the Interwebs buzzing with even more speculation of her secret relationship ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. You know, because, "boo" can only refer to him, right?

Well, maybe that's the case. But, she called her pal Hayden Williams her "boo" when she shouted out a birthday message to him on Twitter today. "Happy Birthday to Designer/fashion illustrator my boo," she wrote. So, the "boo" thing definitely doesn't equal "boyfriend."

Regardless, it doesn't look like Rihanna is spending any time worrying about her love life these days, especially not this weekend. Cheers to the freakin' weekend, right, RihRih?

Love The Way You Lie: Rihanna poses in her bikini as she flaunts curves and stretches herself out aboard luxury yacht

She's been working and playing hard recently, taking her recording sessions and partying in between America and London.
But Rihanna is now hard at work enjoying herself as she relaxes on a sunny break in Sardinia.
The Umbrella hitmaker jetted in to the stylish region earlier this week and has spent the majority of her time aboard a yacht with her girl pals.

Rihanna, 24, posed in her bikini as she flaunted her body while posing a number of positions on the luxury boat.
She was joined by two girl pals, who also tweeted photographs of the singer in her summery finest.

In one image Rihanna can be seen smouldering at the camera with her lips covered in red lipstick.
She pouts at the camera seductively while her hair blows in the wind and her tattoo can be seen.
In another image she stretches across a boat next to one friend as they pose with the backdrop of a clear blue sky.

Rihanna also wears a turban over her long dark hair in one picture and in another she hugs a metal post.
She also poses on a bed with her legs in the air while wearing just the strapless bikini top and bottoms.
The super star recently had some time out in her native Barbados to mourn the death of her beloved grandma Dolly.

But she relocated to the Mediterranean island over the weekend.
The singer and her friends are staying aboard a luxury boat just off the coast and it is clear she is making the most of the opportunity to relax.
As she arrived on the island the Talk That Talk singer was seen clutching a bottle of Corona as she made her way across the airport tarmac - clearly in the mood to start the party early.
And she's sparked speculation her rumoured beau Drake is set to holiday with her in the Italian resort.

Rihanna puts on poor show

Rihanna puts on poor show after appearing 45mins late in Sweden

Rihanna, who headlined the annual Peace and Love Festival in Sweden, kept her fans waiting for 45 minutes, before she took the stage on Saturday. If that wasn’t bad enough, furious fans took to Twitter to claim that she appeared intoxicated and wasn’t singing live. “Really don’t feel like watching Rihanna under the influence gig. Who allowed her on stage in this state?,” the Daily Mail quoted one disgruntled fan as tweeting. 
Some fans questioned whether the Barbadian singer was under the influence of drugs as her performance was so bad, with one person calling her “disgusting and shameful.”
The Twitter user wrote “Rihanna is blatantly under the influence of drugs and is allowed to perform in front of children and young people. It is disgusting and shameful.”
Another added “Crowd walk-out from Rihanna concert at Sweden claiming she’s too high to sing properly.”
Although the crowd waited 45 minutes for Rihanna to arrive, many left soon after she started singing because of her poor performance
“Playback and being high as a kite is not rocking P&L Rihanna” another wrote.
Walking out of the gig wasn’t enough for one person who added “Rihanna is dead in my eyes… How can you be so  bad?
As if her shambolic performance wasn’t enough of an insult to the people of Sweden, Rihanna then dedicated ‘Redemption Song’ to Norway after getting the countries mixed up.
She was referring to right wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in twin attacks in Norway last year.
A concertgoer tweeted “Note to Rihanna. Borlänge isnt’t Oslo and no people weren’t killed by Breivik here... But thanks for coming
Rihanna had played at the Kollen Festival in Oslo on Friday and had clearly confused the two countries.
