R&B style queen Rihanna sat next to her unofficial boy Chris Brown during the 2008 BET Awards which was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Rihanna arrived at the awards ceremony in style, wearing an eye-catching yellow Giambattista Valli dress. Apart from grabbing a couple awards, Rihanna also performed her latest single ‘Take a Bow’. If you still don’t know what Rihanna’s new should tattoo means, it’s “IV. LXXXVI”, which is the Roman numeral for 4.86, the date of birth of her best friend. Apparently this best friend of hers is “closer than people from her own family’.”
