Rihanna Resides With U2...

Regular visitor to Dublin - Rihanna - spent a hot and sweaty weekend in the city as a heat wave shimmered across town. Of course, the super hot singer had a big concert over at The O2 arena and was never spotted without her shades as she came and went at U2's Clarence Hotel...

Over the years R&B singer Rihanna has been a regular visitor to these shores - sure only around this time last year she was here with her then fella Chris Brown. Ahem. Let's not dwell on that particular controversial relationship.

We caught up with Ri a few times over the weekend as she popped in and out of U2's celebrity hotel and even as she hit Lillies Bordello nightclub for a night out on the town...

Alas, at all times her burly security team managed to hamper our sneaky snappers from getting a clean shot of the star... Thankfully we managed to get a dressed in green Rihanna clean-and-clear as she was heading to her sold-out gig on Saturday afternoon.

Although it has to be said, the main reason we got a few good shots of the Umbrella singer was down to a group of Rihanna Superfans who gathered at the hotel looking to meet the star... As they kept her security guards occupied it allowed our lucky lads get a few shots off as she was rapidly ushered to a waiting car... That's the symbiotic nature of ShowBiz folks!
