SPOTTED: Katy Perry & Rihanna
What better way to say ‘hello’ than flipping the bird to those you love? Hey that would be a great Hallmark commercial. Rihanna was hanging with fellow singer Katy Perry and her fiance Russell Brand last night. The two look like they were having a good time at the Pre-Grammy party.
