If you thought our girl Rihanna was a big hit only in the U.S. – how wrong you were. Rihanna crossed the pond to perform at the BRIT Awards in London, England yesterday, and the British paparazzi went crazy! My spies tell me they’ve never seen anything like the pandemonium that erupted when RiRi appeared on the red carpet.

“They were pushing and shoving each other while screaming her name,” said my source. “I haven’t seen anything like it since Princess Diana was alive!”

Rihanna teamed up with British sensations the Klaxons to perform Rihanna’s “Umbrella” hit mixed with Klaxons’ hit “Golden Skans”. The response was so overwhelming that RiRi plans to release the song as a single. We’re so proud of her!
