WHEN Rihanna decided to see the beach front in Barbados, this wasn’t exactly what she had in mind – but at least it gave her a good laugh.

The pop star giggled as her blonde bodyguard flashed her breasts. But if the minder hoped her over-exposure would distract photographers from snapping Rihanna, 22, in her £195 panther cossie, it chest didn’t work.

After spending Christmas with her folks, Rihanna will see in 2011 by performing at Pure in Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas. Top billing, of course.
