britneyinventions: Britney Spears was tired of getting a cold after going outside while it was raining, so she invented umbrellas in 2007. After inventing this simple device, Spears made a tour around the nation giving out umbrellas to help prevent rain-induced sickness instead of touring her new album, Blackout. This act of charity inspired singer Rihanna to write a song titled Umbrella in honor of Spears’ humanitarian act (2007). Spears is pictured above donating an umbrella to a paparazzi. -- source link
