RIHANNA: BIKINI-CLAD IN BARBADOS FOR THE HOLIDAYS (PHOTOS)

While most of the U.S. was covered in snow, Rihanna spent her Christmas in the sun. After a non-stop year of touring, the “Diamonds” singer traveled back home to Barbados for a week of R&R.

The bikini-clad babe basked on the sunny shores with her BFF Melissa Forde and younger brother Rajad. 

With a drink in hand, the island gal splashed in the sea as fans and paparazzi surrounded her. But she didn’t let that stop her from having a good time. She happily posed for pictures (flipping off the paps at one point), rode a jet ski, and enjoyed her favorite past time, smoking.

“Love my Caribbean,” tweeted RiRi.

She will ring in 2014 by hosting New Year’s Eve at Jay Z’s 40/40 Club in New York. “NEW YEARS EVE is going to be all yours this year NEW YORK CITY!!!” said RiRi. “Come dressed to kill!!!! Be on your flyest behavior!!”
