Rihanna has a bit too much fun in the sun as she kisses a girlfriend during boozy boat trip in Italy

Every single girl knows the importance of having fun with her female friends.
And it certainly looks like Rihanna is having the time of her life on her Mediterranean holiday.
The Barbadian singer, 23, showered her friends with affection during a rowdy afternoon 'booze cruise' as she enjoyed an afternoon snorkelling off the coast of Portofino, Italy.

The day had started off with some snorkelling to see a local sight - to see the submerged Christ Of The Abyss statue in San Fruttuoso Bay - but turned into a drinking session on the boat.
Rihanna's decision to go snorkelling may have been impromptu because she bizarrely decided to wear a black maxi dress for the water sport.
Suggesting she isn't very confident in deep sea water, the pop star wore a lifejacket as she submerged herself before dipping her head under to look at the bronze statue of Jesus, which has lain on the seabed since 1954.

Despite wearing flippers, a mask and snorkel. Rihanna's fitted black dress would have restricted her movement a lot in the sea.
After her excursion, she returned to her chartered yacht Latitude to cruise onto Sardinia, where Rihanna partied until the early hours.

 

She posted several photos of the night on her Twitter page, which had the star and her friends were coloured stickers on their faces.
On Wednesday night, she also went partying in the plush resort of Portofino with her pals.

Representatives at adult film giant Hustler this week admitted to being in possession of what they believe is a sex tape featuring Rhianna and her tour warm-up act, rapper J-Cole.
'Hustler are in possession of the Rihanna and J-Cole tape,' Hustler revealed in a statement.

'We have seen it and we do not know what we are going to do with it yet.'
The singer meanwhile has flat out denied the tape even exists with a source telling RadarOnline: 'Rhianna is surprised because there is no sex tape.'
She wrote on her Twitter today: 'We don't believe U, U need more people...AND of course an actual sextape! #slownewsday.'
Her naturally curly hair was pulled up on top of her head and off her face and she added a slick of bright red lipstick for a sophisticated look.
Earlier in the day the singer and her friends spent time exploring the stunning Italian town taking time to sample all it has to offer.
Rihanna is currently cruising the Mediterranean on the 34ft Latitude Benetti yacht, which costs £200,000-a-week to rent.

She arrived onboard the boat in the French Riviera on Monday after performing at the V Festival in Chelmsford over the weekend.
