I Must Keep a Better Diary.

Basically if I've got an appointment I will simply write down the location of that appointment in my diary. Obviously I've also written down the locations of all of the concerts on Rihanna's tour in order to at least give me an idea what I'll be clashing with.

So yesterday (4/4/13) I spent a good five minutes staring at my diary trying to work out how Rihanna was going to get from Seattle in the US on Wednesday (3/4/13) to Salisbury in the UK for Friday (5/4/13). It was then I realised that in fact it will be me who is going to Salisbury today to visit my mothers. So from about 17:00 today to a point yet to be determined tomorrow I will be on Twitter (@Sovereignaka) only and even that is likely to be patchy at best.

In the meantime as Hell Week progresses there has been even more drama for Rihanna with her LA home apparently getting 'Swatted' yesterday. For those of you who don't know 'Swatting' is the practise of calling the police to report a urgent and violent crime at a persons address (a double shooting in this case) in order cause a large police response normally including a Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team. The general consensus is that the incident at Rihanna's address was a US government effort. Primarily this was intended to cause Rihanna stress because it's never nice to have heavily armed police smashing their way into your home even when you're not there. It was also intended to give Rihanna the impression that she is becoming increasingly less popular with her peers and neighbours in LA. However following an Oscars ceremony that was pretty much just one long joke at Rihanna's expense this can hardly be coming as news to her. After all I thought the Boobs Song was a comedic tour de force.

Also the Swatting of Rihanna's home was intended to force the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to put out a statement just prior to Chris Brown's Court appearance declaring that "There is no evidence of a crime being committed at Rihanna's home." This is of course entirely true because with the possibly exception of marijuana use there is no suggestion that Chris Brown or anybody else has committed any crime at Rihanna's LA home. However there is a quite large amount of evidence suggesting that Chris Brown has committed a variety of crimes at a variety of addresses by filing paperwork with the probation service claiming to be performing community service work in West Virginia when he was in fact being filmed and photographed in a completely different state. An LA Court is expected to make a ruling on this evidence later today.

Incidentally yesterday US President Barack Obama was in California on a fundraising trip. Whilst there he made sure that nobody was left in any doubt that he'd been meeting with the states chief prosecutor Attorney General Kamala Harris. This is a certain way of making sure he takes full political ownership of what happens at Chris Browns Court apparence. Let us hope the Court doesn't let him down.

09:30 on 5/4/13.
