You'll poke your eye out!


WARNING: All Umbrella-ella-ella dancing is performed by professionals and should not be attempted otherwise.

Rihanna should consider printing that warning on her concert tickets after banning fans from bringing umbrellas to her U.K. shows over fears for their safety.

And the hysterical part is that the ban is actually warranted after several concertgoers were injured after attempting to imitate her umbrella-accompanied dance moves during her performance of her hit song at recent shows on her European tour!

A security guard who works at an arena in Scotland where Rihanna recently performed said,
"We don't normally ask people to leave an umbrella outside. But we were taking precautions over a potential accident. We were told that Rihanna's song features dancing with umbrellas on stage. We didn't want the crowd following her actions and someone getting their eye poked out."

I applaud Rihanna for looking out for her fans like that. Umbrellas are no joke. Just ask Britney! If only Gene Kelly had taken this precaution back in his day-- I'm sure lots of people's grandparents would still have both eyes.
