Rihanna Skipped SNL Dress Rehearsal
Rihanna gave a great performance on Saturday Night Live, but it almost never happened. The one thing you do not do on the show besides drop an f bomb is to miss the final dress rehearsal. You just don't do it. The final dress rehearsal is taped and if something goes wrong, it is what is sent out. If you have ever tried to get tickets for SNL, what you should do is get tickets for the dress rehearsal instead because you get more sketches because the final cuts are made based on what you in the crowd think and how you react.
Rihanna said she was sick which is why she skipped it. She was probably on the phone with Chris Brown since it was his birthday.
Methinks we won't ever see her on SNL again...Lorne Michaels has a loooooooong shit list, and people have landed on it for behavior far less significant than skipping the dress rehearsal, which you JUST DON'T DO.
ReplyDeleteI suppose she wouldn't be the first women to torpedo her career over a totally unworthy male, but it's still a shame...
I havent seen the whole thing, but that vagina slapping thing that was one dlisted was just weeeird. I feel very naive and old fashioned
ReplyDeleteRemember Pon de Replay? Remember when Rihanna was cute and likable? *sigh*
ReplyDeletewhat? vagina slapping?
ReplyDeleteI'm confused
I don't know what else to call it!

I had a dream last night that I came to cdan and it was taken over by E! I'm guessing it's because of the E! sketch on snl that I watched yesterday.
ReplyDeleteRemember how sympathetic everyone was to Rihanna? Me too. Remember how sympathetic everyone was to Lindsay when she first started getting into trouble? Me too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I sometimes suspect that her former management arrangement with Jay-Z ended because he didn't think she had potential to have longterm success. Her voice is amazing (it's so good when compressed and mixed up with buzzy sawtooth-wave synthesizer tracks) but there seems to be something wrong with her personality.
ReplyDeleteWell, she had her face rearranged within an inch of her life by the man she loved and had to deal with it publicly. My guess is her personality issues have to do with inner turmoil.
ReplyDeleteShe has her moments where she seems really sweet, but then she flips a switch and just gets WEIRD.
Also, I want to go to the club this weekend and try out the pu-slap. I'll bet it's a hit.
ReplyDelete(Was that punny? Sorry...)
Thanks Linnea!
ReplyDeleteRhianna's a cokehead.
I don't think she should be beat ip or anything, but she has really revealed herself to be a snotty bitch since then. She won't get that amount of sympathy from people should she ever need it again.
ReplyDeleteMiss the dress rehearsal = banned indefinitely on SNL.
ReplyDeleteThey sent Ashlee Simpson to fill in for her. She owes Lorne Michaels one.

ReplyDelete@lazyday603 - !
Just one more example of what my mom always said: just because you have talent doesn't mean you're NOT an asshole.
ReplyDeleteThis night be a given but I also read when she got to SNL she was just fine, further pissing off Lorne.
ReplyDeleteI think she's just trying to shock people and it's working. She keeps us all interested and is doing a better job with going just to the edge but not going out of bounds like Nicki Minaj did.
ReplyDeleteNicki Minaj really fell off after the grammys and after the "You Stupid Hoe" song by having a "breakdown," but I think she knows she messed up and needed to tone it down for a while. A lot of her new music is more tween appropriate, like the song with David Guerta.
All the rumors about Rhianna and Chris Brown hooking up ended after their song came out. Now Chris Brown is always photoed with his girlfriend. Rhianna is being very smart, not doing anything Christina Aguilera or Madge didn't do.

she's a fucking classless TOOL.
ReplyDeleteYES^
ReplyDeleteAlso I think her voice is hideous. WHINE WHINE WHINEY WHINE voice.
I'm just counting the days until someone goes on record about how verbally, and possibly physically, abusive she's was in her relationship.
ReplyDeleteNo more RiRi on SNL. I won't miss her a bit.
ReplyDeleteThe more I hear about this woman, the more I think she's garbage.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the day someone says Rihanna deserved to get beaten. Because it's coming. :-(
ReplyDeleteIt's not okay, just like it wasn't okay for her to be the aggressor/abuser for a year. People can only take so much for so long. She still needs professional psychiatric help before she becomes completely unhinged.
DeleteShe's, what, 25 or something?
ReplyDeleteI think she has become a tool, but I also think we're being way too hard on her.
Fame and fortune can do crazy things to a person's sense of self and entitlement. I can't say that if I became rich and famous in my late teens/early twenties that I would be on my best behavior all the time myself.
I think she has lots of learning and growing up to do. Hopefully, it will happen sooner rather than later because she is not very likable these days.
She was playing patty cake with her birthday cake.
ReplyDeleteSubtle? No.
Classy? No.
Adrien Brody was banned from SNL for life after dressing up in a dreadlock wig and being all reggae when introducing Sean Paul.
ReplyDeleteYeah, she's done.
I'll bet the reason she skipped it was because they would have told her not to do that and aired the clean one.
ReplyDeleteUmmm maybe she actually WAS sick.
ReplyDeleteThere was no SHY RONNY sketch this week. They always do that when Ri is on. Maybe Andy Samberg is tired of her shit too.
ReplyDeleteBATTLESHIP looks stupid.
I will see "Battleship," but only because I like Liam Neeson and am slightly obsessed with Alex Skarsgard. I have no use for Rhianna. I truly think she's a fairly talent-free zone. Others may disagree, but she doesn't appeal to me on any level whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteRihanna gave a great performance on Saturday Night Live???
ReplyDeleteYou sir, have lost all credibility.
Great Performance? WTF, she lip-sank, looked like a whore, and proved herself to the 1 trick pony she is.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it.
I went to NY with a friend once and we wanted on SNL badly...no way to get tickets that day of course. We went to NBC anyway and were chatting up a couple in line for what turned out to be the final dress rehearsal (until that day I never knew such a thing existed.) The wife was originally from the same city as us and gave us two tickets to get in. Enty is right, getting in to the dress rehearsal is the best- we saw three extra skits that they didn't do live. I remember David Duchovny was hosting and Puff Daddy and Jimmy Page were musical guests. Best. time. ever.
ReplyDeleteher first song was....interesting. I was surprised that they let her do all that, but now that I see that they probably didn't see her perform it until the live shows, I understand more. And she did that vag-slap move in both songs! The first song was just more like a porn video, and I couldn't even tell if she was singing or just moaning.
ReplyDeleteSaw Battleship here in Australia and enjoyed it. Good, mindless escapism. Rihanna is quite good, the guy with the prosthetic legs, not good, but if he is a war hero I am pleased that he was given a chance.
ReplyDeleteI didnt see the performance but I'm happy she did well.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Rhianna did something shocking! ZZZZZzzzzzzzz.....
ReplyDeleteI've always been dubious of her talent. Her SNL "performance" looked more like a stripper lip syncing than an actual singer.
ReplyDeleteShe did so-so. She was really off key in a few sections.I feel like I've seen the vag slap from her before?
ReplyDeleteI thought the show was pretty lame except for the Amazon commercial and Weekend Update.
We watched it yesterday and my partner, who is NOT celebrity-savvy and who had never seen Rhianna before, said, "What is it with this Rhianna girl? Did she want to grow up to be a dancer and had to settle with being a stripper?"
ReplyDeleteBest laugh in a long time.
didn't see it...but mark my words...at the rate this girl is going, i believe we'll have a rihanna breakdown in about 5 yrs.
