Buzz coming all way from tinsel town says that R&B singer Rihanna and 300 guests were rescued from the Corinthia Hotel in Whitehall Place, London in the early hours of the morning (27.06.12) after a blaze broke out in a lift shaft.
The We Found Love singer tweeted fans a picture of herself bundled up in the back of a taxi in a grey hoodie and sunglasses. The caption read: "Roamin da streets since 6am! Fyah in da telly #evacuationlife" (sic)
Rihanna then posted: "Fire in da telly #evacuationlife", with a snapshot of a fire engine outside the hotel. Meanwhile London Fire Brigade has confirmed that no one was injured, and Clare Durnford, the hotel's public relations manager insisted the incident was not serious, and evacuation was just a safety precaution.
She said: "At approximately 6.30am, one of the service elevator motors at Corinthia Hotel London burnt out. There was a slight discharge of smoke and because of our robust fire management policy, the alarms were activated and a full evacuation of the building was carried out.
After the fire department conducted a safety check, guests were allowed back into the building. It’s already been an eventful trip to London for Rihanna, whose bodyguard punched out an intrusive photographer over the weekend.
