Rihanna Confirmed for a Role on High Profile Reality TV Show

That's "Judge" Rihanna to you.  The Barbadian popstar has accepted a role in the upcoming series of The Voice (US edition). Rihanna will act as a "key advisor" to the judges... and woe betide the contestant who gets on her bad side as the We Found Love singer is not known to mince her words. Riri will follow in the footsteps of Taylor Swift and Chris Martin, who have previously served as advisors on the NBC show. Aspiring chart-toppers would do well to listen to her advice too, as Rihanna has racked up record sales of more than 190 million. NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said: "We landed Rihanna to be the key advisor to all the coaches this fall." "This is one of music’s true supervisors coming on board to influence the lives and careers of the performers." The 27-year-old will assist judges Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine for the upcoming series.
