What’s that, Rihanna?
She’s certainly no stranger to causing controversy. And last night was no different for world-famous singer Rihanna, who found herself at the centre of a new scandal after posting a picture of herself ‘cutting up’ a white powered substance on the top of a man’s head. The 24-year-old singer posted the picture on photo-sharing website Instagram from her time at American music festival Coachella. Rihanna spent the event, partying and spending time with best friend Katy Perry.
The image, which sees Rihanna — real name Robyn Fenty — on the shoulders of a mystery man, was accompanied by the caption “Memories don’t live like people do #coachella”. Rihanna posted two pictures of herself on the shoulders of the man, with another close-up shot of the substance on his head. Fans posted over, 1000 comments on the snaps, claiming that the star ‘rolled a blunt on that dude’s head’, referring to marijuana, but others questioned if the substance was cocaine. One fan questioned: “Is that weed or coke?”, while others commended her for being so open, saying: “Priceless I love this girl”.
Not one to shy away from controversy, Rihanna, who has recently completed a promotion tour for her new film Battleship, posted on her Twitter account soon after: “I’m crazy and I don’t pretend to be anything else.” Rihanna’s controversial picture comes after the singer was pictured earlier this year smoking what appeared to be marijuana on holiday in Hawaii.

Has Simon gone completely potty?
With the upcoming release of the unauthorised Simon Cowell biography, more details of the X Factor supremo’s quirky home habits are being unveiled. From the whopping £3000 a week on floral arrangements to the colonic irrigations and vitamin intravenous drips, the 52-year-old isn’t afraid to splash the cash on life’s little luxuries. Perhaps most bizarrely, it has been claimed that Cowell insists that only luxury black toilet paper is placed in the many bathrooms of his London and Los Angeles homes. The loo paper sets the music mogul back approximately £10 a roll. Additionally, the book claims that Cowell travels with suitcases full of creams, bath products and lotions to counteract ageing, takes ‘saucers full’ of tablets daily and undergoes routine Botox injections. The revelations keep coming as Cowell’s publicist Max Clifford told This Morning that he’d advised his client to not speak to the book’s author Tom Bower.
