Rihanna usually makes headlines for partying and posting pantsless pictures of herself on Twitter and Instagram, so it’s refreshing to see some of the more positive things she’s doing with her super-stardom.

She’s donating  $1.75 million to a Barbados hospital in honor of her Gran Gran Dolly, who passed away from cancer this past June. At the time she tweeted: “Goodbye#grangranDOLLY get your beauty rest until I see you.”

The money is going to help buy needed equipment for the radiology department of  Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown.  Rihanna visited the center, now called Clara Braithwaite Centre for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, this Saturday with her mother Monica Fenty, and her grandmother’s widower Lionel.

 

The singer told E! News: “This was my way of giving back to Barbados, in a form of philanthropy, by assisting the QEH in its continued modernization program…I believe that this will have a huge impact on the people of Barbados. This was all done to save lives or at least extend them.”

In September Rihanna showed of a chest tattoo of Isis she got in honor of her grandmother.

Listen to Rihanna and Chris Brown’s controversial Birthday Cake Remix; are they getting back together?

ByStarcasm Staff

It’s been over three years since the domestic violence incident that shook the pop culture world. Now, after lots of drama and legal proceedings, Chris Brown and Rihanna have been hanging out again.

Part of Chris Brown’s 2009 punishment for hitting Rihanna was that he wasn’t allowed to see her. February 2011 Brown got his restraining order downgraded to a “level one” meaning that he can now spend time with Rihanna, but cannot “annoy, molest, or conduct surveillance of the person on the order.”

Chris attended Rihanna’s 24th birthday party, though he tried to keep it a secret, even asking guests to sign a confidentiality agreement (his efforts failed big time.) The former couple have also released two collaborations together: “Birthday Cake Remix” and “Turn up the Music Remix.”
