Rihanna may be a self-proclaimed bad girl, but she was doing plenty of good in Chicago last night. The starlet gave a benefit concert for The Believe Foundation, which helps children and their families who can't afford the medical attention they need. Rihanna has a soft spot for both the charity and children in general, saying,

"When I was young and I would watch television and I would see all the children suffering, I always said when I grow up I want to help. Not long after I was in the position where I could help. I started to visit all these children's hospitals and I have a soft spot for kids. I just want to help and make sure they are happy. They can come to a Rihanna concert or have toys or gifts at Christmas."

After the show, Rih took her green nails backstage to pose for pictures and sign autographs for her young fans. Sounds like these kids have found a great role model to look up to!

    What?!?! she was able to be charitabe without hading out xeroxed copies of herself in a bikini to the children who need medical care.

    I'm sure this will bring many more smiles to children than some self-important celebutante posing for pictures for a an hour or two.

    Real charitable actions imagine that!!

    I think that it's very nice of her to spend her time giving back to a society that has given so much to her...I wish more people would do it.
