When Katy Perry tied the knot with Russell Brand over the weekend, her gal pal Rihanna was noticeably absent from the festivities.

And according to an insider, the “Take a Bow� songstress just couldn’t break away from her down-to-the-wire recording sessions to make the trip to India.

“Rih was finishing her album, and she just switched managers, so she had to pull out at the last minute. It was always sort of up in the air that she would go anyway, and Katy knew that.”

“They saved her a room just in case, but they always knew it would be nearly impossible for her to make it as she’s still finishing the album and it’s out in a few weeks. Rih was in the studio all weekend.”

The 22-year-old “Only Girl In The World� has a new Doritos commercial coming out later this month.

“There’s this new pop-up video technology called augmented reality,� Rihanna tells JustJared.com. “There will be a barcode on the Doritos chip bags, you go home and hold it up to your computer and a video will pop up. We shot the exact video twice – one in day, one in night. So the night version has everything different — it has everything is in the day version, it’s just black and gray. It’s darker and grittier. You’ll be able to click at any time and make it night and the same shot will show up just in the night version. It’s cool.�

When asked which version is more her now, Ri responded, “More of the day version. Only because I’ve started to incorporate a lot of different colors into my wardrobe now. I’m loving that direction. Right now, it feels good and right. It was a cool concept too because it was kind of one side of me and now, it’s evolving into the new colorful stuff that we’ve been doing.

As for her favorite Doritos flavor, Rihanna loves Spicy Nacho. “I just like spicy chips,� she shared. “So of course that would be my favorite one… One of my make-up artists [Mylah Morales] and I carry around chili all the town. It’s sickening. I eat everything with red pepper.�
