Earlier today, Rihanna was spotted enjoying a day at the beach in Barbados on Dec 29, with family and friends.

Clad in a two-piece bikini with a sheer blue cover and a cap to match, the 23-yr-old splashed in the waters before chilling out in the shade.

Meanwhile, Twitter is all a-buzz after many gossip blogs reported that Rihanna & her ex Chris Brown sent out “subliminal messages” via twitter declaring their love for each other. Check out the details here.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, Rih confessed that she has to live with gossip like those tweets earlier today for the rest of her life.  ”I’m afraid I’ll have to live with the gossip between me and Chris throughout my whole life,” Rihanna says about the past domestic violence incident.
