Washington, Mar 16 : Barbadian singer Rihanna has finally returned to the limelight after her squabble with Chris Brown. She was spotted partying with Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce Knowles in New York.

Rihanna, 21, was seen on March 13th night with the couple and a group of friends at The Spotted Pig, where they asked the staff to section off an entire floor for their use.

"People love the Spotted Pig because it''s super laid-back, but it was far from it last night," Contactmusic quoted a source as telling OK! magazine.

"Security was on red-alert, and you could tell they were under strict instructions to let them party in peace.

"(Rihanna) was in a good mood and laughing at the camera all night. She didn''t care that the cameras were taking pictures of her. She was just having a fun girls night.

"She was telling her friend, `See it''s not that bad over here, in L. A. there''s mad paparazzi.' She was joking with friends and walking down the street," the source added. (ANI)
