Rihanna and Katy Perry are reportedly BFFs, so it was big tabloid news when RiRi was a no show at Perry's nuptials to comedian Russell Brand in India this past weekend. RiRi's excuse for missing the shindig? Lack of cell phone reception and Internet service in the region. In 2010? "Girl, please!" was my initial response.
Until I realized that it's not that simple and I can actually cut RiRi some slack. Her new album Loud comes out in two weeks so she absolutely needed to be in immediate contact to give last minute approvals before the release, which was rendered an impossibility given the remote location of the wedding. "I was crushed," Rihanna said. "I was really looking forward to it, but she understood."
Do you think Perry and RiRi are really besties or is that a media concoction? Do you think Rihanna's excuse is a valid one?
