Rihanna: I'm Headed to London, BOY!


Ready for a long night of travel, Rihanna turned up at LAX Airport in Los Angeles to catch a departing flight bound for London on Monday (March 26).

Rocking a giant platinum blonde Afro-weave while oddly hiding her upper lip, the Barbadian beauty also donned a black cap with 'BOY' written in big, white letters as she tweeted prior to takeoff, "Boy talk that talk to me all night"

The jet-setting UK journey comes as a Georgia eatery named Chops & Hops landed itself in hot water after posting a photo on its Facebook and Twitter pages of a new dish with a caption reading, "@chrisbrown, @rihanna and us teamed up for a award winning celebrity sandwich. Put your hands on this caribbean black and bleu sandwich."

Continuing on with the tasteless pun, the restaurant wrote, “Chris Brown won't beat you up for eating this unless your name starts with a R and ends with A."

Getting plenty of negative reaction to the reference of Brown's assault on Rihanna, a now former patron named Nancy Downend Ferguson posted a message in response, which read, "Cannot believe you find this appropriate. Was a loyal customer. Will never come back.”

A rep for the restaurant quickly jumped in to issue an apology, writing, “The owners of C&H would like to make sure everyone knows that we and our staff DO NOT SUPPORT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Many of us have been affected by domestic violence in some manner and realize that this is no joke. We have been involved in fundraising for Project Safe Team 6 and we fully intend on donating proceeds (times 6 -- in honor of Team 6) from the sales of the burger. C&H continues to strive for a community driven, family oriented, great food and great service environment. We will continue to be involved in our community fundraising and charities near and dear to our hearts.”
