    Want to spend a romantic afternoon at the Empire State Building with Rihanna? Here’s your chance -- she’s scheduled to flip the switch to the skyscraper’s lights on Thursday at 1 p.m.

    OK, you might not actually get to spend the afternoon with her, but you might catch a glimpse of the “Umbrella” singer as she attends the media event. Nor will she technically light up the tower -- she'll be flipping the switch on a replica in the lobby.

    Nevertheless, she'll stick around for a bit and also visit the tower's observatory.

    Rihanna is doing the lighting honors on “Cartier’s Declare Your Love Day,” and guess which color will shine from the Empire State Building that night? Red, of course.

    Expect a scene: When Mariah Carey flipped the switch at the building last month, it was a madhouse.
