Rihanna pays an alien watcher to scan the skies

The alien-obsessed star, 25, is paying a UFO watcher in the Mojave desert for round-the-clock updates on extraterrestrial activity.

A source in the stargazer’s camp told us: “Rihanna has always been convinced aliens will land on Earth in her lifetime.

“So she started using the man, who calls himself a sky scanner, to give her information from Nevada on anything that relates to sightings.

“He keeps in touch with her from the Little A’Le’Inn – a motel which hosts UFO hunters.

“It’s also near one of the world’s most secret government bases, Area 51. This isn’t a fad for Rihanna, she is a total believer and doesn’t mind spending her money on it to get results.”

And there was us thinking the only space RiRi was interested in was space cakes. But her brother Rorrey, 23, also confirmed that obsessing over little green men was a childhood hobby in the Fenty household.

The rapper/DJ told us: “She really believes there are UFOs. No-one knows for sure, but Ri and I definitely think they’re out there. It kept us occupied as kids.”
