Rihanna’s life is so madly busy that she doesn’t get to do some of the things the rest of us take for granted. If she wants to see a new movie that’s being released, then she usually has to wait for it to come out on DVD, because she has hardly any free time, and if she went to a regular cinema she’d be mobbed by fans; movie premieres really aren’t her thing either, so she wouldn’t just go to one so she could watch a movie without being hassled.
Rihanna loves the movie The Hangover so much that she watches it again and again. She enjoys watching it with her friends or by herself, and she loves to scoff loads of ice cream or bags of Cheetos (cheese curl snacks).
The TV show she can’t get enough of is The First 48, which is a documentary series about homicide and shows how detectives go about finding out who killed someone, collecting evidence, interviewing people and using hi-tech methods. The opening to the programme states: ‘For homicide detectives, the clock starts ticking the moment they are called. Their chance of solving a case is cut in half if they don’t get a lead within the first forty-eight hours.’
Rihanna finds the show really interesting, and will watch episodes back to back when she can. It is rare for her to be able to watch her favourite shows as soon as they air, because they are normally transmitted when she’s on stage or at events: she has to either record them or buy the series DVDs when they are released.
