Rihanna wanted to add to the tribal hand tattoo she got in New Zealand, so she called up her American ink artists. Only thing was their New York City shop was 1,500 miles away. Not a problem for the Diamonds singer - she just put them on an airplane to meet her in the Dominican Republic on Sunday, according to PageSix . The designers said it took them 11 hours to make the traditional marks 'pretty,' no doubt offending the ancient tribes. She showed off the new work during her Puerto Rico concert on Monday.

They met in a quiet Cardiff cul-de-sac as they embarked on married lives, babysat each other's children and laughed together on Friday nights.

The full extent of the Unite union’s campaign of bullying and intimidation against senior managers during the bitter Grangemouth oil refinery dispute is revealed today. In a disturbing echo of the union militancy of the 1970s and 80s, Unite leaders deployed a dirty tricks squad to personally target and humiliate executives of the Ineos chemical company and their families. The sinister unit – known as the ‘Leverage team’ – sent mobs of protesters to the homes of senior figures in the firm. One director last night said he had feared for the safety of his wife and his two young children after 30 Unite protesters descended on his drive during the school holidays.

The daughter of another company boss had ‘Wanted’ pos...

Almost 150,000 criminals convicted or cautioned last year had committed 15 or more previous offences,  figures revealed last night. The ‘frightening’ re-offending rates mean this group alone have been responsible for  more than two million crimes between them. And shockingly, the number of such career criminals has increased by 14 per cent in just five years. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said the figures exposed the abject failure of the criminal justice system to get to grips with repeat offenders and showed the desperate need for action to tackle persistently high reoffending rates. Mr Grayling said the public – and the Government – were ‘fed up with crooks doing their time and going straight back to crime’. The Justice Secretary has proposed radical reforms to the Probation Service aimed at reducing recidivism among hardened criminals. Charities and private firms will be paid ‘by results’ to engage with criminals and help them turn their lives around. But h...

Rita Ora may have found herself surrounded by a room full of models on Tuesday night, but the British songstress certainly held her own. The 22-year-old looked a million bucks as she hit the red carpet at the Gabrielle's Angel Foundation 2013 Angel Ball, held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
