"Ursula is a close confidante and they are together all the time."
"You have to wonder why she insists on keeping such an expensive member of her entourage on the payroll 24/7. Most of these costs are paid for by her management," the staff added.
Rihanna has changed her hairstyle 13 times since it was dyed bright red last November, including a huge red afro that got her the nickname 'Side-Show Bob' after the Simpsons cartoon character.

"Modelling was not completely satisfying. But Chanel believed in me from the very beginning."
"For the very first red carpet I did at the Toronto Film Festival in 2008, they dressed me up in their very current season collection. It's a massive brand, why would they invest in someone who is nobody," she added.

Adverts promoting tee-shirts carrying the slogan 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!' have been banned for encouraging eating disorders among young girls.
The Advertising Standards Authority has banned the statement, which was extolled on children's tee-shirts and promoted by Kate Moss.
The tee-shirts, which appeared on website Zazzle, were being sold for 14 pounds and have been slammed as being "pro anorexia".
The slogan flashed across the tee-shirts was originally the lifestyle motto of model Moss in 2009 and has been condemned by campaigners, including groups like Say No to Size Zero and Beating Eating Disorders (BEAT)
"There are 1.1 million eating disorders in the UK alone. Kate Moss's comments are likely to cause many more. If you read any of the pro-anorexia websites they go crazy for quotes like these," the Daily Mail quoted Katie Green of Say No to Size Zero as saying at the time.
Those against the slogans raised their concern stating it "might encourage children to develop an unhealthy body image and an unhealthy relationship with food".
"We told Zazzle to ensure future ads were not irresponsible and, particularly where they were addressed to or depicted children, did not contain anything that was likely to condone or encourage an unsafe practice or to result in their physical, mental or moral harm," they added.
