Don’t stop me says exhausted Rihanna
IS THE reigning princess of pop taking on too much? After releasing a new album, touring the world and starring in her first film all in a few months, as well as extensive partying, Rihanna was hospitalised this week with exhaustion and dehydration for the second time in a year.
But the Barbados-born singer seems to have no interest in slowing down, declaring she’d like to do comedy acting. “I want to try comedy, I really do. I love watching comedy and it seems like something that would be fun to shoot,” she says. “I did a skit with Saturday Night Live and I enjoyed working with comedians so it feels like it would be fun.”
Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty, was admitted to hospital in New York on Monday night after attending the swanky Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She later posted a picture on Twitter of her arm on a drip.
Her brother Rorrey blamed her handlers, saying: “I could see this coming. Her management have been working her a 13-hour day. She’s been exhausted for months.”

Last November the 24-year-old was also hospitalised with exhaustion and forced to cancel a performance in Sweden but has returned to frenetic touring, promotional activities for her new film Battleship and partying – recently posting a picture on Twitter of herself rolling a suspicious looking cigarette at the Coachella festival in California. With no tour dates scheduled until 2013 perhaps she can be convinced to put her acting on hold and get some rest.
