"  Rihanna has paid a school $5,000 (\u00A33,500) after turning up four hours late for a performance. The &amp;#039;Umbrella&amp;#039; singer was due to perform at Barrington High School in Chicago on March 22 - as one of their students had won her Shine Bright Like A Diamond competition - but arrived over four hours late.    \u00A9 Agencia EFE/Rex Features  Rihanna  The school had spent $2,000 (1,300) on hiring security and promoting the event. School spokesman Jeff Arnett told The Daily Herald: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re certainly gratified to receive a contribution from her. &amp;quot;Even though this $5,000 gift has been long in coming, her management communicated with us immediately after the event and said she wanted to do something for the students. &amp;quot;It didn&amp;#039;t take any coaxing or pleading by the district. It was something they offered to do, and it took a while to work through the book-keeping process.&amp;quot;    \u00A9 WENN  Rihanna in concert in Cardiff  While the students were waiting for Rihanna to arrive, her management team handed out free concert tickets and signed merchandise, including CDs.  Arnett added: &amp;quot;In all, I think the students and everybody involved would consider the event a worthwhile experience.&amp;quot; Watch Rihanna at the school below:       "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
