Well, it took longer than I figured it would, but an official police picture of a bruised and battered Rihanna has been leaked to TMZ.com.  At first people thought that maybe this was another bogus pic like the previous one, but the LA police department has put out a news release saying that they are investigating the leak and that there will be serious consequences for the party responsible.

I could show it here, but odds are you’ve seen it already.  And, quite honestly, I don’t want to.  The girl has been through enough and that picture should never have been seen by anybody outside of law enforcement and hopefully a jury.

Rihanna is said to be doing fine and flew back into LA Thursday, a day before her 21^st birthday.
