WHAT, She's A Do-Gooder


Rihanna-ya know-girlfriend of Chris Brown is doing some good and we like that! She is calling her tour "A Girl's Night Out" and she's doing it to help some people! "Girls always have more fun, so I thought it was a great cause for me," the Girls Gone Bad singer, 20 told PEOPLE after a performance Wednesday night at Chicago's Vision nightclub.

With her charity, The Believe Foundation, Rihanna and Island Def Jam, "got together with a local foundation in three cities and Escada and [the label's fragrance] Moon Sparkle" to sponsor the event, she said. "It was amazing."

The next "Girls Night Out" concerts are scheduled for March 28 at San Francisco's Ruby Skye and April 9 at New York City's HighLine Ballroom.

Having first performed on stage for 40 minutes to a very happy crowd on Wednesday, Rihanna headed upstairs to a private lounge area, where she did a meet-and-greet with children, signing autographs and taking pictures with them.

"When I was young and I would watch television and I would see all the children suffering, I always said when I grow up I want to help," she said by way of explaining why she started The Believe Foundation.

"Not long after I was in the position where I could help. I started to visit all these children's hospitals and I have a soft spot for kids," she says. "I just want to help and make sure they are happy. They can come to a Rihanna concert or have toys or gifts at Christmas." -From PEOPLE.com


We say, we dig Rihanna-although we hear her "people" are total jerks, so its nice to see her doing some good! We wonder if her boyfriend, Chris Brown is around helping her??
