Love The Way You Lie down! Rihanna falls flat on her face as she takes embarrassing stage tumble

By CHRIS JOHNSON

Ooh Na Na: Rihanna trips on stage as she performed her hit song What's My Name in Edmonton, Canada, last Wednesday, one of the stops on her Loud world tour


Rihanna may have quite justifiably asked 'What's My Name?' after face-planting floor in this embarrassing stage fall.

The Barbadian singer was appropriately singing the hit song as she took a tumble in front of thousands of fans.

The 23-year-old star was entertaining a 16,000-strong crowd in Edmonton, Canada, on her Loud world tour when she lost her footing.


Going: The singer was wearing dangerously high heels for her performance


However, ever the professional, the racy singer quickly sprung back into action as she tottered on dangerously high heels.

The incident happened last Wednesday on the fourth night of Rihanna's six-date stop in Canada.

The Love The Way You Lie singer returned to Los Angeles yesterday, just in time to make it for the BET Awards after party.


Going... gone: Rihanna falls to the floor after losing her footing


However she arrived only to face more embarrassment, after it emerged an trophy at the show which had initially been awarded to her was actually given in error and should have gone to ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

The farce started when television personality Tiffany Greene, along with 106 & Park hosts Terrence J. and Rocsi took to the stage to present the Viewers' Choice Award.
Greene look confused as she proclaimed the winner to be Chris Brown for his song Look At Me Now.


Back to business: But she quickly sprung back into action


But then Terrence quickly stepped in an said: 'I'm sorry, it's Rihanna for What's My Name... this is awkward.'

Rapper Drake, who collaborated on the track with Rihanna, then came to the stage to accept the award.

He said: 'This is awkward,' before making a short acceptance speech and leaving the stage.

However around 30 minutes later, at the end of the show, the main host Kevin Hart clarified the matter by saying Chris Brown was in fact the winner.

Awkward Moment: Fan Announces Rihanna Instead Of Chris Brown As Winner At BET Awards --- Says BET Planned It! (VIDEO)

The most talked about moment of the night....embarrassing much?

Last night at the 2011 BET Awards, superfan Tiffany Green presented the Viewers’ Choice Award with Terrence and Rocsi. Things got real awkward when she read off the tablet, announcing the winner as Chris Brown....... but then looked up and read the teleprompter and said Rihanna and Drake were the winners for “What’s My Name?”

Everyone was in shock...then Drake ran up on stage to accept the award and said simply,

“Well that was awkward.”


The fan who announced the award was tweeting the whole time...

Bawling backstage. They totally fucked me up.

and says it was no mistake, BET did it all on purpose!

The tablet fuckin said CHRIS BROWN....the TELEPROMPTER said Rihanna. What the FUCK?????? Goin home.

Look bitches....Im not SLOW. lol They did the shit on PURPOSE. Fucked up right? *shrug* smh

If you listen and watch closely you can hear people on the sideline telling her look straight...look straight.

In the middle of all of this Rihanna, who wasn't at the awards, jumped on Twitter and posted,

#RihannaNavy thank you for proving what I tell the world everyday! Nobody fans go harder dan YALL!!! Thx 4 pickin that up @drakkardnoir 1LUV

By the way in case you are confused, Chris Brown really did win the Viewers choice Awards....not Rihanna and Drake.


BET you know wrong for that.

Rihanna's "Murder" In Her New Music Video Causes Fire

The Parents Television Council is blasting Rihanna for hawking a "cold, calculated execution of murder" in her brand new music video for "Man Down."

The song pretty much says it all but it's the video that the Council is upset about.

The council is outraged that Rihanna would suggest that gunning down a rapist in a crowded train station is a proper form of justice.

The council says,

"If Chris Brown shot a woman in his new video and BET premiered it, the world would stop. Rihanna should not get a pass ..."

Gwen Stefani Tells Rihanna & Katy Perry To Keep Their Pants On!

Pop divas are wearing less and less these days and Gwen Stefani is calling them out!

In this issue of Elle Magazine Singer Gwen Stefani is rocking the cover and inside she admits she’s super concerned about her looks —

“I’m very vain. That would be my middle name. Of course I am, you know what I mean? I love the visual.”

But says younger artists like Katy Perry and Rihanna go too far when they try to be provocative.

“I usually put pants on. I see these girls as more going for the sex-symbol thing. I was more, in the band, like a tomboy,”

she says, referring to her No Doubt days.


Gwen also gives her thoughts on pop music and its unpredictability.

“Like a guilty pleasure, it’s right at the moment. It’s like fashion—it’s now, then it’s gone.”

Do you think pop divas are more like sex-symbols these days?
