Rihanna has been partying pretty hard lately, recently tweeting pictures of her gettin' loose at a strip club.

But why was she rushed to a New York Hospital last night?

Rihanna tweeted a picture of herself on an IV drip and rumours ran rapid that she was partying way too hard at the 2012 Met Gala and therefore rushed to hospital with Dehydration and Exhaustion. So is this TRUE or FALSE?

Well, kinda but not really...

A source told E! News that Rihanna has had the Flu and been quite sick for the last week. Although Rihanna did need to be put on a IV, she is fine now.

Due to her illness RiRi had to skip the dress rehearsals for her upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live. But a source says she did indeed do a soundcheck and that the show did understand she wasn't feeling well and had to save her voice for the live performance.

Do you think this could just be a cover up, and Rihanna really was partying way too much?
