Is Rihanna Taking a Year Off?

Not a day goes by without some kind of Rihanna drama, but it seems like we'll be hearing less about the Bajan beauty once her Diamonds world tour wraps up. Sources say she'll immediately begin writing and recording for her followup to 'Unapologetic' (is it us or does she have an album out every fall?), but you won't see much of her for a while.

A source told The Daily Star (via Entertainment Wise), “She’ll still be writing and recording but she’s got to stay in one place and really recharge her batteries.”

Indeed, the 'Stay' singer seems to want to spend more time on her love and family life -- and it may be affecting the quality of her work. “She puts her family and [Chris Brown] above everything else,” a source revealed. “It really can affect relationships and commitments, and make her and everyone else look bad. People are fed up.”

It appears that RiRi, who seemed invincible and unstoppable, is tired of the 24/7 partying with which she's become associated. Indeed, the starlet confirmed to ELLE that within five years she wants to settle down in a big way.

“I will probably have a kid. And I’m praying I can go on vacation for a good month," she told the mag. "And I’ll have set some things up so I don’t have to tour for the rest of my life, even though I love touring. I want health and happiness in five years. I want to be healthy and happy.”

We want her healthy and happy too -- so if that means a vacation, let her have one!
