Pokémon Go, you really are taking over the world!

Sure, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration. But if you've been around the Internet or understand the power of a good app, chances are you've heard about the game sweeping the country.

During her weekend concert, Rihanna wanted fans to live in the moment and enjoy her show from beginning to end. To do that, they may just have to put their phones down for two short hours.

"I don't want to see you texting your boyfriends or your girlfriends," she told the crowd during her performance. "I don't want to see you catching any Pokémons up in this bitch."

Yes, we didn't exactly expect a Grammy winner to be saying those words to an audience who may have spent triple digits to hear her perform.

Nonetheless, the clip circulating the Internet got us thinking of all the stars who have expressed their love and enjoyment at the game. To the celebrities below, here's a gentle warning to put the phone away during your next RiRi show.
