What female pop sensation is pictured in the photograph above getting her luggage checked by airport security at LAX airport in Los Angeles? HINT: She currently sings the hook of a famous rapper’s latest single!

IT’S RIHANNA!

Singer Rihanna was spotted (sans her superstar boyfriend Chris Brown) as she headed out of Los Angeles via LAX airport this morning. Word on the sidewalk is that the “Disturbia” singer paid a couple of airport employees $100 each to attempt to block the paparazzi from getting their shots. Notice how I said attempt because apparently they still got their pics, lol! Homegirl should’ve just kept the cash in her pocket…
