Rihanna - Trainer Sues Rihanna Over Unpaid Wages

RIHANNA is facing a lawsuit over her toned physique - the singer's former personal trainer alleges she is owed $26,000 (£17,300) in unpaid wages.

Fitness expert Cindy Percival filed a suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court last week (ends26Feb10), which states the Umbrella hitmaker owes her payment for several weeks of intense training.

In the court papers, Percival claims she charged the star $1,500-a-day (£937-a-day) for her services, and is still owed a total of $26,144 for her work with Rihanna last year (09).

The amount also includes $2,644 (£1,762) for travel expenses, which the trainer claims she spent while following the superstar around the world, according to TMZ.com.
