    <description><![CDATA[<p>According to <a href="http://blackarazzi.com/2008/08/18/rihanna-good-girl-gone-broke/" target="_blank">Blackarazzi</a>, <strong>Rihanna</strong> has parted ways with business manager <strong>Patricia Williams</strong> after it's discovered she only has $20,000 in the bank.</p>
<p>Ri might wanna think about <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/rihanna-chris-brown-keep-their-s41491/" target="_blank">returning those $5,000 boots</a>.</p>
<p>Williams claims that while Rihanna has had hits around the world, her label Def Jam only views her as a "singles artist" and refuses to fund her videos since the albums themselves don't sell well.</p>
<p>Her manager <strong>Marc Jordan</strong> of Rebel One Management is forced to fund promotion for the songs by funnelling money out of Rihanna's endorsement deals with companies like Cover Girl, Nike and Samsung.</p>
<p>"Disturbia" and "Take A Bow," her two most recent #1 singles, allegedly cost Rihanna a total of $750,000 combined.</p>
<p>"I showed her all the paperwork and tried to explain to her the circumstances but she wouldn&#8217;t listen," says Williams. "She called me all sorts of horrible names and stormed off."</p>
<p>The irony is that Rihanna's <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/chris-brown-doubles-pleasure-doubles-s35651/" target="_blank">megabucks non-beau</a> <strong>Chris Brown</strong> wrote "Disturbia," and is thereby seeing all the money from the royalties.</p>
<p>Um, Rihanna, girl? You might wanna think <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/rihanna-chris-brown-friendlier-ever-s38941/" target="_blank">about getting pregnant.<br /></a></p>]]></description>
