Angers 'SNL' Producers by Missing Dress Rehearsal
Rihanna was a no-show for her final rehearsal for "Saturday Night Live" last night -- which did not sit well with the show's producers, including head man Lorne Michaels ... TMZ has learned.
According to our sources, RiRi called in sick for the dress rehearsal, which is done live in front of a studio audience right before the actual show. We're told Michaels takes dress rehearsals very seriously and was quite upset when Rihanna bailed at the last minute.
Our sources say that in her place, Rihanna's choreographer danced to her songs.
When Rihanna showed up later looking just fine, we're told the staff was shocked ... and felt she didn't appear sick enough to have missed the dress rehearsal ... though no one from the show called her on it.
According to our sources, once the live show got going, Rihanna was seen eating an apple and walking around in between songs ... which bothered several staffers because she did not seem ill at all.
We're told producers can't even remember the last time someone has skipped the dress rehearsal.
Sources close to Rihanna tell TMZ she went through every rehearsal except the dress rehearsal (which she was in the building for) because she just felt too ill to do it. We're told RiRi had a doctor come to her dressing room before the show and administer a shot of penicillin before she went on.
A rep for the singer tells TMZ, "Rihanna was sick and needed to save her voice for the live show."

Get your shiz together, RiRi
so damn obnoxious
Lmao, as if it mattered.
I really enjoy her music and I feel bad when I bash artists who arent very good singers and still make it big because she's one of those cases. I still remember when I saw her in concert in 2008 for Glow in the Dark with Kanye West, N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco. Ngl that is THE BEST concert I have ever been to, Lupe was amazing and N.E.R.D. was too, so much energy, and then Rihanna came on. The whole arena stood quiet and sang her songs. She did some choreography and had stage props and the crowd only got excited when she sang Umbrella. I thought "Maybe she'll get better" nope she's still the same. She really has no stage presence, other artists can't sing but put on a great show, and she's like meh. Although I have all her albums I probably wouldn't see her live if the opportunity came around again.
Oh, you mean the commitments you signed up for???
rihanna. GORL. someone needs to shake her.

It's also just kind of the principle of the thing.
