Rihanna in a barely-there bikini on a Barbados beach
29/12/2010
LOOKING stunning in the skimpiest of bikinis, Rihanna puts her boyfriend troubles well behind her.
The flame-haired pop star appeared to be having a great time on a break back home in Barbados – despite splitting from baseball hunk Matt Kemp, 22, before Christmas.
Rihanna, 22, looked rear-ly amazing as she zoomed off on a Jet Ski. And her tiny two-piece, held together with a few flimsy knots, certainly let Matt see what he is missing.
Another bather on the exclusive beach in the millionaire’s playground of St James, said: “Rihanna looked stunning but completely natural. There was no posing or attention-seeking. She seemed to be having a fantastic time.”
Maybe she was still X-cited after a Boxing Day dinner with Simon Cowell.

Rihanna and Matt Kemp split
R&B superstar Rihanna and Matt Kemp have decided to call it quits after dating for almost a year.
The 'Umbrella' hitmaker and her Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player boyfriend reportedly decided to split because of their busy schedule, the Us magazine reported.
"It happened over the last few weeks. She basically was just over it," a source said.
"He just can't keep up with her crazy travel schedule. Matt's sick of always following after her like a puppy dog all over the world. He wants something more normal. Plus it was never as serious as it looked. It was always just having fun," the source added.
The 22-year-old singer started dating Kemp, also 22, in December last year following her messy break-up with singer Chris Brown, who brutally assaulted her in February 2009 following an argument.
Rihanna takes to the waves on a jetski
Growing up in Barbados, Rihanna is certainly no stranger to life on the beach.
And the singer showed off her prowess at the handles of a jet ski today, masterfully charging around on the water.
The 22-year-old wore a tiny string bikini for her adventure, sensibly belting on a lifejacket over the top.
Rihanna has spent plenty of time enjoying the warm weather on her trip home to her native Barbados this Christmas.
She was spotted sunning herself on the beach yesterday in a black swimsuit, designed to look like a panther.
Rihanna is spending Christmas with her family in Barbados before jetting back to the U.S in time for New Year's Eve. But she is also fitting in a spot of work, having a business dinner with Topshop boss Sir Philip Green and music mogul Simon Cowell on Boxing Day.
'Just had dinner w/ Simon Cowell Philip Green, and Lucian G., and Ashley (thanks) @ Sandy Lane! Great night!' she tweeted.
They're likely to have had plenty to talk about.
Rihanna's racy performance on Cowell's British show X Factor earlier this month saw TV regulators Ofcom launch an investigation into the show.
But for the most part this has been a family vacation for Rihanna, whose work normally keeps her away from Barbados.
After doing her Christmas shopping in Los Angeles earlier this week, the Umbrella star jetted to Barbados's Grantley Adams Airport via Miami on Wednesday.
At Miami, she met her mother Monica and her aunt and they boarded the flight back to Barbados together.
