The NYC paparazzi caught a glimpse of Rihanna as she made her way into the Tom Ford flagship store Thursday evening (Jul 30) on Madison Avenue in Manhattan.

In othe RiRi news, word on the sidewalk is that public apology video her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown made didn’t exactly make her the happiest woman on earth. In fact, she had spoken to Chris soon before the video hit the internet and every major media outlet in the world, and he made no mention of it. So when she caught wind of it, she was shocked.

A source tells Britain’s Now magazine, “She’s in total shock. It was like he gave her another blow, albeit one of a different kind. All she knows is that it’s in the news again and that’s the one thing she didn’t want. She’s been trying to put it behind her and move on as fast as possible. They spoke earlier last week and Chris made no mention of any public statement then. She wishes he’d given her at least a heads-up about it. But that’s Chris, always thinking of himself first and forgetting how this would impact on her.”
