Rihanna announces tour to distract the world from her recent Chris Brown canoodling
After shocking the world by canoodling just last night with accused abuser and total scumbag Chris Brown, Rihanna announced a world tour to make everyone talk about something else. The Rihanna Diamonds World Tour kicks off in March in Buffalo, New York, with stops in 27 cities in North America before presumably taking off to other parts of the world. The first round of tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Sept. 14, but because credit card pre-sales are de rigeur these days, Citi cardmembers will have access to pre-sale tickets beginning Sept. 10.
