Caribbean beauty runs afoul on the farm...
It's not every day one of music's biggest superstars touches down on a Bangor farm to shoot their latest video, but that's precisely what happened when Rihanna jetted into Northern Ireland ahead of her upcoming Irish, almost stopping traffic in the process.
Not everyone was pleased to see the 23-year-old singer though, as DUP Alderman Alan Graham ordered the star to cover up upon stripping down for the racy shoot.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr. Graham said: "I thought it was inappropriate. I requested them to stop and they did.I had my conversation with Rihanna and I hope she understands where I'm coming from. We shook hands."
Mr. Graham had granted use of his land for the video shoot, despite having no prior knowledge of Rihanna's existence.

"I didn't know who was coming," he revealed. "If the name 'Rihanna' had been mentioned, well, no disrespect but it wouldn't have meant anything...From my point of view, it was my land, I have an ethos and I felt it was inappropriate.
"I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends. Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God."
Blimey!
