Rihanna Missed Final Rehearsal For Saturday Night Live

Rihanna hit the stage to perform her singles Talk That Talk and Where Have You Been last night on Saturday Night Live.

Though her voice seemed to be spot on, producers weren’t too pleased RiRi was a no-show for her final rehearsal beforehand.

The songstress decided to call in sick for her practice session (which is done in front of a live audience), and head honcho Lorne Michaels was reportedly angry she bailed last minute.

When Rihanna finally did arrive, insiders say she didn’t appear sick at all.

Still, her rep tells TMZ she “needed to save her voice for the live show”.

Adam Yauch Of The “Beastie Boys” Dead At 47

Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch died on Friday in New York after a three-year battle with cancer. He was just 47-years-old.

A rep for the star released the following statement:

“It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys and also of the Milarepa Foundation that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer.”

Adam was diagnosed with a tumor in his salivary gland back in 2009, but seemed to be doing better after undergoing a series of treatments for eighteen months.

Better known by his stage name MCA, Adam and bandmates Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month, though he was too sick to attend the ceremony at that time.

The hip-hop legend leaves behind his wife, Dechen Wangdu, and their daughter, Tenzin.
