London
(ANI):
Pop
star
Rihanna
is
reportedly
fuming
after
being
told
to
tone
down
her
sexy
antics
ahead
of
her
appearance
at
this
year's
Brit
Awards.
The
'Good
Girl
Gone
Bad'
star
had
planned
on
an
eye-popping
performance
of
her
controversial
new
single
S
and
M
for
Tuesday's
ceremony.
However,
show
bosses
have
asked
her
to
change
some
of
the
song's
more
risky
lyrics
as
the
event
at
London's
O2
Arena
is
being
broadcast
live
on
ITV1.
The
offending
verse
involves
the
words:
"Sex
in
the
air,
I
don't
care/I
love
the
smell
of
it."
"Rihanna
is
fuming
about
the
situation
-
and
it's
left
Brit
bosses
in
a
panic
over
what
she
will
do
on
the
night.
She
may
scrap
performing
S
and
M
altogether
now
and
choose
to
do
a
'safe'
pop
number
to
keep
the
prudes
at
bay," the
Daily
Mail
quoted
a
source
as
telling
today's
Mirror.
The
single
has
already
been
banned
by
Radio
1
and
the
raunchy
video
has
been
banned
in
11
countries
because
of
its
near-the-knuckle
imagery
featuring
the
star
sucking
on
a
banana
and
wearing
latex
bondage
gear.
Meanwhile,
Rihanna's
performance
at
tomorrow's
Grammys
is
also
under
threat
after
the
star
was
struck
down
with
bronchitis
and
laryngitis.
Despite
her
illness,
she
is
still
rehearsing
and
remains
hopeful
of
making
the
event
at
the
Staples
Center
in
Los
Angeles,
where
she
will
perform
her
duet
'Love
The
Way
You
Lie'
with
Eminem.
