Rihanna Stressed, Chris Brown/Lewis Hamilton Boyfriend Drama & New Album Delay? 'High & Tired'

Apparently, Rihanna's blossoming relationship with British Formula One champ Lewis Hamilton continues heating-up. Meanwhile, rumors also suggest that the "FourFiveSeconds" songstress is talking again to ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown. So, why does the 27-year-old Barbadian beauty look so frazzled and tired?

Chris Brown Cries, Baby Mama Drama Ruins Rihanna Love Life?

While grabbing a bite to eat at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California on Wednesday (August 19), RiRi definitely looked like she wished to avoid any paparazzi attention. Usually the "B*tch Better Have My Money" BadGal enjoys basking in the sexy Hollywood limelight!

As UK's popular gossip webloid The Mirror reports:

"... The visibly tired star tried to go undetected as she was escorted out the back door of the venue by a security guard. [She] was spotted darting through the exit wearing a denim jacket and with her eyes seemingly glazed over as she hopped into a car. [Rih] then kept her head down as she got comfortable in the back of the vehicle."

Perhaps she just finally wants some privacy? Or maybe now that she's back from a wet-and-wild hometown vacation, the "American Oxygen" crooner's feeling pressure to release her highly-anticipated seventh studio album. Fans were hopping she'd premiere the record earlier this month as a surprise, but that never happened (and details still remain totally unconfirmed).

What do MstarsNews readers think of Rih's rather "run down" look? Check out the viral snapshots here.

Well, #TeamNavy's still waiting for some fresh summer beats on Twitter:

@ernestbaker: "depressed because Rihanna just released that amazing video then went back to being naked on instagram like she doesn't owe us an album."

@underagehoe: "Rihanna's doing everything but releasing this album."

@_ladyyLex: "Rihanna just been chilling all around the world forgetting she has an album to release."

Should Rih take a much-needed break from partying, and refocus on her beloved career?
