Is Rihanna hinting that perhaps her relationship with bad boy rapper Chris Brown is well and truly over?
The sultry 24-year-old tweeted a picture of her perfectly made empty resting place, with the simple caption: ‘My bed’.
And although the star may be newly single, she did what any self-respecting celebrity would do and splashed out on a new silver Ferrari, sharing that purchase with the caption: ‘All I see is signs, all I see is dolla $ign$.’

My bed: Rhianna tweeted this empty shot of her bed, which looks like it is on her private jet
Rhianna, who stole the show when she performed Diamonds on US X Factor on Tuesday, showed off her new shiny purchase on Instagram.
The brand new car even had a bow tied around it on her driveway, presumably as a gift from the manufacturer, unless it was a present from an admirer.
The silver Ferrari took pride of place on the empty driveway in the multiple pictures Rihanna published.

Nice! Rihanna shared her new car delivery with her followers
The 24-year-old superstar was left reeling after her on/off boyfriend Chris was pictured partying with scantily-clad girls on tour in Paris and enjoying a meal with his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran in Dubai and vented her feelings in a note to her fans.
She uploaded a photograph to Twitter of a heartfelt letter, thanking fans for their constant support and telling them to stand up for what they believe in and refusing to be defeated by mistakes and ‘curve balls’.
The handwritten note contains the lines: ‘There’s no question that life throws us curve balls, we do our best to deal with them, take the lessons and keep it moving without regrets…

Single? Rihanna partying in Los Angeles this week and Chris Brown in France on December 9
‘I look forward to embarking on this ride with you, unwilling to sacrifice what we believe in, taking our lessons and growing from them. Don’t let one thing shake your core. Let our inspirations drive us, never steering from who we truly are….’
She also took took to Twitter to vent her feelings, writing: ‘Examine what you tolerate’, ‘Goodbye muthaf*****’, ‘You give, you get, then you give it the f*** back’ and ‘Claps for the basic b****** (sic)’
In between posting raunchy images of herself, she followed it up yesterday, musing: ‘Never underestimate a man’s ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes.’

‘Tis the season for dancehall rivalry

… and artistes, promoters say why
Sadeke Brooks, Staff Reporter
‘Tis the season to be jolly, but it is also the time when word-throwing and diss songs among dancehall rivals seem to intensify.
Somewhat of a stalwart in the clash game, dancehall artiste Ninja Man says dancehall rivalry “Is one of the greatest part of the music, but you have to keep it on a positive level and give good competition whether you win or lose.”
He continued: “You have negativity ’cause you have artistes that take it personal. If you are not a positive artiste, you will let out nothing but negativity.”
As for his career, he says the clashes that he has been involved in over the years have done quite a great deal for him.
“Every time mi murder a deejay pon the stage, mi get a bigger stripe,” said Ninja Man, who has been in clashes with acts like Super Cat, Merciless, Papa San, Vybz Kartel and Shabba Ranks.
Ninja Man added that Bounty Killer and Beenie Man have been rivals for most of their careers and it has also helped to keep them relevant in the industry although they mainly clash via their songs.
Isaiah Laing, promoter of Sting, also believes that rivalries benefit the industry.
“It put the industry on an edge, but it makes the artistes put their A-games together,” he said.
Even in cases where persons lose, he says they are also winners as their names are still on the lips of many persons. Laing even made reference to the Vybz Kartel and Mavado clash at Sting in 2008 where “both of them came out on top, and their prices skyrocketed worldwide.”
He added: “Sting is the platform for dancehall rivalries. Once you go to Sting and do well, you put on your pot for the following year.”
Newer to the industry, Iyara says, “Rivalry helps, but when they bring it to a violent level, it don’t help it there. Beenie and Bounty have been rivals and it keeps their careers current.”
While he does not have a specific rival, he says he will lyrically attack anyone who insults Alliance leader, Bounty Killer.
“I don’t have a main rival, but the fact that I say Alliance, Bounty Killer rivals are my rivals. A so Deva Bratt did get him face kick off. Him neva diss me, him diss Killer. Him haffi pass me before him get to Killer but him neva so good,” he told THE STAR.

JAYCINTH Brae gave her seven-yearold son a special hug before she left home yesterday morning for work.
According to relatives of the 37-year-old employee of Genesis Insurance Brokers in Spanish Town, she was looking forward to celebrating the boy’s eighth birthday today.
BRAE… gunned down as she walked to work

But Brae’s life was brutally cut short as she walked to work in Ensom City, St Catherine at about 7:30 am. A heartless gunman pumped at least four shots into her body.
“Reports we received are that Brae was walking to work when she was attacked and gunned down,” police told the Jamaica Observer.
One resident said he was at his home when he heard loud explosions and when he went to investigate he found the body of the mother of three in the road.
Detectives at the scene said Brae was still clutching her brown handbag when she was found. None of the items from her bag were removed, suggesting to the police that the attack was not a robbery.
The brazen murder plunged the community into shock.
“I can’t believe it; that is where she walk go to work in the mornings, is walk she was walking along the roadway when gunmen came and attack her!” said one of Brae’s sisters, who out of fear asked that her name be withheld.
“I was at home when I got a phone call and I still can’t believe it. Why them do her like that? Oh God!” the sister moaned as she cuddled Brae’s third child, a six-month-old boy.
According to the sister, Brae’s eldest child, a 16-yearold girl, lives overseas.
She said that the mood at her mother’s house in another St Catherine community was sombre as her siblings prepared to inform their mother of Brae’s murder.
Brae’s nephew, Daniel Harris, said “every year family members would gather to visit our grandmother for Christmas”.
Added Brae’s sister: “Just a few weeks ago, she was talking about her plans to join family members to visit her mother.”
Detectives from the St Catherine North Police say they have not yet established a motive for the murder.
