Rihanna was hospitalized following the Met Costume Institute Gala on Monday night.
The “Umbrella” singer herself confirmed the news on Twitter, after a fan noted that the star had been unusually absent from the site Tuesday. “You been quiet all day,” the fan commented.

RIHANNA TWEETS PHOTO OF HERSELF PARTYING WITH STRIPPERS
Rihanna responded with a photo of her arm, hooked into an IV. The photo revealed that the Barbadian pop star was in a hospital bed.
Soon after, the website Media Takeout reported that Rihanna had been rushed to a New York City hospital following a night of partying after the gala. The site claims that the star was treated for “exhaustion” and “dehydration,” often Hollywood code words for something more. The site reported that the star was released after a short stay and was cleared to fly back home to Los Angeles.
Rihanna tweeted at 4 a.m. this morning, “My ride home NY days LA nights #itwuzreal.”
Rihanna has complained of not feeling well ever since her appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” On Sunday she tweeted, “Seriously, I’m sick! Don’t wake me up for dumb [bleep] like that.” However, she stunned the next night at the Met Gala in a sleek, Tom Ford black leather gown embossed with an alligator print.
While Rihanna may just be suffering from a bout of sickness, some are worried that the star’s partying has gotten out of control. Last week, the Barbadian pop star posted photos of herself dancing with strippers and showering them with dollar bills. The star tweeted with the shocking images, “Best stress reliever= $tripper$.”
Star Magazine alleged today that Rihanna is on a “party binge.”
“Rihanna loves to party but this past month she’s gotten really out of control. She’s been drinking almost every day and talking about smoking weed a lot too,” a source tells the magazine. “Everyone is telling her to slow down and think about therapy, or even rehab.”
