CANDID PICS: RIH-RIH & HER BFF IMPLEMENT THE 'BUDDY SYSTEM'; MEAGAN HOSTS PARTY IN ATL

Multiplatinum recording artist Rihanna was spotted strolling through her hotel's swimming pool area with her best friends (and bodyguard) last week in Las Vegas as she prepared for the whacked-out, sorry ass VMA's. Now before anyone get any ideas, the girls who are with her happen to be her lifelong BFFs from her native homeland. And when the girls aren't in school (one is pre-med while the other is an economics major) they can be seen at Rihanna's side. Rihanna says these are the girls who've stood by her through her ups and downs before she ever became the star and were still giving her their unconditional support ever since. But that's what real best friends do, right?

Meagan Good was recently photog'ed by the 'razzi while visiting Atlanta, Georgia. The actress was in town to host a party (for who, what and why, I do not know!). Her mother and one of her sisters accompanied her at the event. Why? I do not know! Enjoy the pics. There are more after the jump!

THINK YOU LOOK LIKE A 'CELEBRITY CHICK'? IF SO, LUDA WANTS YOU.

Ludacris' Disturbing The Peace label has teamed up with image sharing website Photobucket.com for a "Celebrity Chick" Look-a-Like Contest. The contest, which is being held from now until October 1, encourages contestants to log-in to their Photobucket accounts and submit pictures and/or videos of themselves, indicating what female celebrity they think they resemble. The winner will be selected based on creativity, originality, and how much they actually look like their celeb. The contest is also being used to promote DTP's latest single, "Celebrity Chick," featuring Ludacris, Chingy, Steph Jones and Small World from the compilation Strength In Numbers, released earlier this year. The song will also be available on Photobucket for users to create remixes of their photos and videos with music from the popular single.

"I'm really excited about this single because it is Chingy's re-introduction to the world as a member of DTP and it also allows two of my very talented new artists, Steph Jones and Small World, a chance to shine," Ludacris said via a statement. "I love feeding off the energy of my fans, so I'm excited to see what they bring out for Photobucket's 'Celebrity Chick' Look-a-Like contest."

The winner will receive their own spot in the Photobucket / "Celebrity Chick" "remix" fan music video as well as a prize pack including t-shirts, posters and an autographed CD from DTP.

"Teens are all about using digital media to inject a real sense of personality into online activities," said Alex Welch, President of Photobucket. "This is the latest example of entertainment brands using new sponsorship models to reach key social networking demographics. This contest is a great way for DTP Records to interact with this highly engaged audience."
