Rihanna Can't Stomach Her Own Performance

Posted Nov 7th 2008 1:09PM by TMZ Staff

With one hand clutching her stomach, Rihanna suddenly darted off stage in the middle of a live performance with her beau Chris Brown in Australia last night -- and now TMZ knows what really happened behind the scenes.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ, "It was very hot at the venue, so after Rihanna's set was over, she went off stage and needed to sit down, catch her breath and have some water. She is perfectly healthy and will be at her show tomorrow."

We're also told Rihanna's health scare was a direct effect of an air conditioning problem in the arena.

For the record, Chris Brown was wearing a sweatshirt during the performance -- but we're guessing that crazy corsett thing traps a ton of heat!

3. I just want anyone who is reading this that not all people in the U.S. are as malicious, petty, unbalanced and superficial as most of the people who work for TMZ or who post comments on their site. I read some of the nasty blogs and comments about celebrities and it never fails to amaze me the hateful and disgusting comments people make. I just want everyone to know that most of the U.S. is not this angry and unbalanced. It's just a small fraction of people here who are most likely high on drugs when they write this stuff. I don't know how else to explain it because happy and sane people do not think, feel, talk or write the way many of these insane extremists do on this and many other tabloid sites.

These tabloid sites are a breeding ground for extremism because it give these kind of people an outlet to project their own self-hatred, paranoia and lack of self respect toward innocent celebs. Tabloid sites are a meeting place for like minded mentally unbalanced people who have nothing better to do than tear into celebrities they don't know. It's very sad that anyone out there is like this. Just realize most of us are not so please don't judge us by the angry vocal minority. Most Americans are nothing like them and we are all amazed that anyone is like this.

5. Have you ever worn a corset ???? As I learned on Halloween it's is almost impossible to breathe in one properly and I cant imagine jumping around stage in one

6. Pregant? Sick to the stomache like that is one of the signs but it also is a sign of multiple things. If she is, more power to her. Her and Chris's baby would be so cute! Lets not all start rumers till we find out. Cant a girl be sick once in a while w/ out rumers started?

14. It's obvious none of you (with the exception of the person who wore one on Halloween) have ever worn a corset before. They are tight, they constrict your body and breathing. They're not meant for physical activity. I'm surprised she didn't pass out, especially if it was as hot at it was claimed to be.

15. well... if she is pregnant we'll sure find out in a about 8 to 9 months....


and for the commenter who had trouble wearing a corset for halloween.... you had it on too tight... and i bet you're not thin. fat people shouldn't wear corsets... they are only for the thin and in shape people who aren't trying to make themselves look thinner. i've worn plenty of corsets and never had a problem. but then again.. i'm not trying to tie them as tight as possible to make myself look not so fat. i'm already in great shape and wear a corset at just the right amount of tightness and can breath just fine! corsets aren't for the fatties!
