LOS ANGELES – Rihanna has been immortalized in wax.
The 'Loud' singer was honored with her own waxwork at London's Madame Tussauds museum where she took center stage at the attraction's interactive Music Zone alongside Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga and the late Amy Winehouse.
LOS ANGELES — Rihanna is hoping she can help save a life.
The Grammy winner is pitching in to help find a bone marrow donor for a 5-year-old New York City girl named Jasmina, who is battling leukemia. In an interview with People, Rihanna says she was touched by the little girl's story and immediately wanted to help.
"When I saw the video of Jasmina it broke my heart," said the 20-year-old singer. "It is so unfair that for a black patient it's so much harder to find a bone marrow match. Jasmina has acute leukemia and she needs a bone marrow transplant to live."
Thea Amena adopted Jasmina when she was just a few days old and told People that she was "over the moon" when she found out that the singer wanted to help.
"My daughter is a huge, huge Rihanna fan," Amena told the mag. "Last year when I was in Best Buy, Jasmina was in the store singing and dancing in front of a huge screen with Rihanna on it. The only way I could pull her away was to buy one of Rihanna's CDs. She's been listening to it ever since."
Jasmina has undergone chemotherapy, however she still needs a bone marrow transplant to survive. The "Umbrella" singer is urging everyone to request a donor kit from DKMS, the world's largest nonprofit marrow donor center, which is helping to find a match for Jasmina.
"Leukemia is the most common disease children in the U.S. die of and we need to change that," said Rihanna. "I urge everyone to sign up as a bone marrow donor with DKMS. If we have more donors, we can save more children like Jasmina."
