Here are some more wonderful pics of Rihanna and boy toy Chris Brown at Z100’s Annual Jingle Ball on December 12th. Also, MSG will be airing “Road to MSG” which takes a look at how the artists prepared for the Jingle Ball. That will be airing on December 20th. Man, I’m so jealous that it’s warm enough there that Rihanna can wear a mini dress… Enjoy the pictures!

Rihanna Wants to Work with Lily, Leona and Duffy

 zumaredwestphotos118709-20081212-nan-k03.jpg

Barbadian hit-maker Rihanna, has recently expressed her love for Britain’s star singers. She said it’d be great if she could sing duets with English star singers Lily Allen and Leona Lewis, along with Duffy, who is Welsh.

She says, “Lily Allen is bad ass, I love her. I also really like Duffy and Leona Lewis, who is so beautiful, with an amazing voice. I would love to do a collaboration with those girls.”

She also comments on her loyal fans in the UK, “I can’t believe I have three songs in the UK Top 40. I just wanna say thank you to the UK for all your love. Don’t ever stop. I will always come back here. I would love to do the X Factor.”

Hopefully that has made a bit of peace concerning the “X Factor” fiasco. I’m curious about what a Rihanna/Lily Allen track would sound like. Could be good!

Rihanna Helps Nicole Richie’s Music Career Launch?

18th Annual Environmental Media Awards

According to AngryApe, musical superstar Rihanna has been helping Nicole Richie, “Simple Life” star and mommy of  adorable Harlow Madden, with her budding music career. One confirmed track off of Nicole’s album is a cover of Prince’s song “Do Me, Baby” and a song called “Me and You” has been rumored to be included. It’s supposedly a duet with her boyfriend, Joel Madden.

Also reported to be mentoring Nicole is Kelly Osbourne. How interesting. Those are two very different types of singers and performers she chose to help her out.  No release date for the album has been announced.

Well, I must admit, I’m thoroughly interested to see how this will turn out. Maybe the Rihanna touch will produce a hit single from the daughter of the great Lionel Richie.

Rihanna Backs Out of X Factor Appearance?

2008 MTV Video Music Awards - Show

Yesterday, I put up a story about Rihanna being scheduled to perform on the UK talent search show, “X Factor“, singing alongside boy band contestants, JLS, but according to Metro UK, that won’t be happening. Supposedly, Rihanna quit the show last second. Apparently contestants were said to have been crying after the rehearsals, and JLS had to switch their performing partners, so they will now be performing with musical group, Westlife.

Geez, well that’s just wrong. If you promise you’re going to do something, then do it. I wonder what was so mportant that Rihanna had to skip the appearance. Hopefully the contestants won’t let this get to them, and they’ll do alright.

Rihanna to Sing with X Factor Contestants

2008 American Music Awards Rehearsals Day 1

I recently put up a video of “X Factor” contestants, JLS , a group of men fighting for the chance to win the UK talent show, singing Rihanna’s song “Umbrella.” Well, now they won’t only be singing her song, they’ll also be singing it with her on Saturday for the finale.

I don’t watch the show, but I didn’t think their performance of “Umbrella” was mind blowing, but I’m happy that they’re being given the chnce to sing alongside Rihanna. That’s got to be nerve wracking and exciting at the same time.

Here’s the video.

X Factor Contestants Sing Rihanna Songs - Videos

On December 6th, the semi finals for British pop talent search show, “X Factor“, a group of contestants called, JLS performed Rihanna’s smash hit single “Umbrella.” I thought it was okay, not great, to me. Then, Alexandra Burke sang “Don’t Stop the Music” and I thought it was good. The only thing I have to say is that the song doesn’t really match her voice that well. What did you guys think of these covers?
