I probably would have slapped her silly myself...

...had I been Chris Brown.

Rihanna spends a staggering $22,500 a week to ensure her hairstyle is always cutting edge.

The singer is famed for her fashion forward image, and now a British newspaper has revealed the full cost of maintaining her lustrous locks.

The singer uses the services of leading Hollywood stylist Ursula Stephen, on a daily retainer of $3,200 according to the Mail on Sunday.

A source tells the publication, "Rihanna likes to pioneer new styles but it's costing her a fortune. She makes several public appearances a week, and the cost soon stacks up. Ursula is a close confidante and they are together all the time."

Sad and sick.

Apart from make soft porn videos, I hear she also sings. Or at least mimes.

[Guinevere]

Not funny, Scooter. Nut even a little.

And who cares how she blows her fortune? Her goddamned money, she can spend it how she likes.

[Scooter]

Of course she can. And others are free to criticize her choices when she puts them out there on display, including her decision to reconcile with the lout who beat her.

Both that and her decisions about how she spends her money speak volumes about her.

[Guinevere]

Criticise her choices all you like, including her choice to go back to Chris Brown. But you can do that without making a joke about battering. That's not just insulting to her, but to every other woman who has been hit. Talk about speaking volumes....

Whatever else she is or isn't, she's stupid to pay anybody $80k+/mo. to style her hair! She won't be the flavor of the week much longer, and she'll eventually be sorry for wasting her fortune that way.

I took Scooter's subject line - not as a joke about battering women - but as a subject line to grab our attention.

Rihanna spends more money on her hair in one week than a lot of people earn in one year.

That's a slap in the face to everybody who isn't rich & famous and can't afford to make large & stupid investments.

I didn't get the reference to spousal abuse.

I don't follow celebrity misbehavior as closely as I should.
