RIHANNA claimed she was "too fat" after the zip burst on her dress prior to a live US TV gig yesterday.
The slender pop babe was running late for her Times Square, New York show - broadcast on Good Morning America - and didn't have time to change her outfit following the wardrobe malfunction.

As a result, Rihanna tentatively took the stage to perform songs promoting her new album Rated R, clinging on to her ruined dress in the process.
She held back on her usual array of body-bending moves, fearing the strain would cause the frock to fall off her.
She said: "My dress! I'm a little too fat right now. The zip busted in the back. They're like, 'You're a minute late!'
"I wanted to stitch it up but I couldn't."

also revealed retail bosses forced her to change the original X-rated name of her album.
Rihanna wanted to call her new disc Such A F****** Lady, but several shops baulked at the idea of stocking such an offensively-titled product.
In the end she plumped for Rated R - even though she doesn't feel it accurately represents the songs.
She said: "I actually wanted to name my album Such a F****** Lady, but a couple of stores, a couple of major outlets, didn't allow that.
"That was the title for a while, but Rated R made more sense because of the overall story.
"It's a movie really, the album. But Such a F****** Lady - we take everything back to that - especially in our style."
Meanwhile, Rihanna is reportedly set to earn a hefty $500,000 (£300,000) to perform at a New Year's Eve bash at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
The Umbrella star was scheduled to play her first ever Middle East gig in May, but pulled out in the aftermath of her assault by ex-boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.
