Rihanna is seen here in New York on the set of Drake’s (Aubrey Graham) new music video which was being shot last night.  As you know she missed her BFF Katy Perry’s wedding and finally she has addressed why:

“The album is going out in two weeks and I had to be available for a lot of approval. I was crushed. I was really looking forward to it.

At first I was really shocked because you have a year to arrange your life, your schedule and then to miss it.  But I’m sure if the wedding were in say Los Angeles or Vegas she would have made it, but the distance obviously played a huge factor in whether or not she could make it. I guess that’s show biz baby.

She will be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, this Saturday (October 30).  Jon Hamm is the host. Purrrrr. I will be watching that for sure! Will you?
