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.

The message reads:

"Happy 21st 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."

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.”

Happy Birthday Rihanna enjoy your special day!!! Here are pics from happier times...enjoy!
