Rihanna: I was too busy to go to Katy Perry?s wedding

Rihanna has revealed she will ‘never forgive herself’ for missing best pal Katy Perry’s wedding, and is sacking her management staff for giving her an unmanageable workload.

The ‘sad’ Rude Boy songstress was expected to be Maid of Honour at the special Indian ceremony, but instead had to skip the nuptials to work on her album.

And it seems she already regrets the decision, and has decided to sack her management company because of it.

‘I will never ever forgive myself for that,' she told US radio host Ryan Seacrest, of missing Katy’s extravagant wedding.

‘It was a crazy time, it was a crazy week. I'm switching management,’

There was no phone service in India and very little-to-no internet service, so it would have been a little irresponsible of me. 

‘I'm sad that I missed it.’

It seems Katy and Russell were still hoping Rihanna would make it, but were completely understanding when she couldn’t fit it in.

‘It was always sort of up in the air that she would go anyway, and Katy knew that,’ one insider revealed.

They saved her a room just in case, but they always knew it would be nearly impossible for her to make it as she's still finishing the album and it's out in a few weeks. Rih was in the studio all weekend.’

Poor Rihnanna has had a jam-packed schedule over the last few weeks. Jetting between LA, New York and the UK, she’s been promoting album Loud, single Only Girl (In The World) and book R.

Rhi has also fitted in a cover shoot with MC, a video shoot for her next single, an NYC book signing and a performance on the X Factor. And she’ll be switching on the Westfield Christmas lights on Thursday. Phew!

Time for a rest, Rhi?

I wouldn't want to miss my best friend's wedding either. It must be hard with so much work on... she should definitely treat herself to a holiday soon!

She had the invite for the wedding so why didn't she say to her managers that they have to schedule her workload around her best pals wedding ! Any normal person would have done so and to be honest any normal manager would also take this into consideration !

I agree with Zo.
She would have had ample notice of when the wedding date was, so should have insisted she be allowed time off to attend.

Even I knew when Katy's wedding was. Shame I wasn't invited though.

I heard a song on the radio yesterday and thought it was really quite good. It turned out to be Cheryl Cole!!! How embarrasing is that?

I'm sorry she missed the wedding sounds like a simple case of her existing management company just getting their dates missed up I'm sure if the couple ever renew their vows she will be there like a shot though.

"it would have been a little irresponsible of me" wow a pop star/celeb who considers others and is responsible? my estimation of her has flown through the roof! in a day+age of lindsay lohans, its so refreshing to hear of someone who takes their work seriously. love you!
