Rihanna and Chris brown being sued for 700,000 by a photographer

Rihanna and Chris Brown are being sued for £700,000 by a snapper who claims he was beaten up by their security guards.

Luis Santana, 26, alleges he was attacked after taking pictures of the pair in a limo outside the Vintage Ultra Lounge in St Petersburg seven months ago.

He says the minders took his £2,000 camera so the footage wouldn’t be leaked to the press.

It is thought he wants compensation for loss of earnings, personal injuries and distress.

‘It’s really unfortunate,’ a spokesman for Rihanna tells Metro. ‘I do believe that this matter is completely blown out of proportion.’

A rep for Chris denies the singer or his security were involved in the reported incident.

Rihanna, 20, and Chris, 19, have always maintained they are just good friends.

Rihanna: Belle of 2008 BET Awards

When it comes to awards shows, the red carpet fashion is almost as important as who actually wins the awards. And Rihanna brought her fashion A-game to the 2008 BET Awards last night.

The Good Girl Gone Bad arrived on the pre-show red carpet looking amazing in a floor-length cleavage-baring yellow multi-tiered gown.

Turning heads everywhere she walked, the “Umbrella” singer was more than happy to indulge the clamoring paparazzi with a few hot poses before making her way inside the Shrine Auditorium.

Once inside, Rihanna changed into a fashion-forward black stage ensemble before delivering a remarkable performance, a highlight of the entire night.
