RIHANNA DIDN’T PERFORM AT THIS YEAR’S GRAMMYS, BUT THE SINGER MADE UP FOR IT ON ELLEN MONDAY BY PERFORMING NOT 1, BUT 2 OF HER HIT SONGS.

ELLEN EVEN GOT INTO THE ACT WITH HER SIGNATURE DANCING AND SOME KILLER BOOTS.

ELLEN DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THE GRAMMY’S HERSELF, BUT SHE DID SEND HER STAFFER, ANDY, TO THE RED CARPET - WHERE HE MANAGED TO COLLECT AUTOGRAPHS FROM CELEBS LIKE MILEY CYRUS, KATY PERRY AND PINK…IN HIS OWN SPECIAL WAY. HE ALSO AUDITIONED SINGERS FOR ELLEN’S NEW THEME SONG, INCLUDING JASON MRAZ AND LAST NIGHT’S BIG WINNER, TAYLOR SWIFT.

It’s been almost a year since Rihanna and Chris Brown’s ugly fight and Rihanna is still dealing with the fall out ...
Check out this awkward and some what painful interview the pop princess did with Carson Daley


Despite Rihanna’s rocky year in the spotlight the singer managed to snag herself a grammy nomination for Best Rap/ Sung Collaboration son with Jay-Z and Kanye West for “Run This Town.”

And…. She even mangaged to poke fun of her rumored romance with baseball player Matt Kemp…..

Way to play it coy Ri ! Good luck at the Grammy’s this year!

DOES RIHANNA HAVE A THING FOR BAD BOYS?

THE ROMANCE BETWEEN RI AND NEW BOYFRIEND MATT KEMP IS HEATING UP…BUT NOW WE’RE HEARING THE L.A. DODGER HAS A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE!

IN 2008, EX-GIRLFRIEND, FELISHA TERRELL FILED A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST KEMP THAT ACCUSED HIM OF THREATENING, INTIMIDATING AND STALKING HER. IN THE PAPERS, THE “DAYS OF OUR LIVES” ACTRESS STATED, “He is violent and I am afraid.”

THE RESTRAINING ORDER ALSO MENTIONS THAT KEMP WAS SUSPENDED FOR 2 DAYS FROM WORK AFTER HE GOT IN A FIGHT, AND HE WAS ONCE KICKED OUT OF A CLUB FOR FIGHTING WITH A WOMAN.

NOW RIHANNA’S FRIENDS ARE NERVOUS HISTORY COULD REPEAT ITSELF. AN INSIDER TELLS STAR MAGAZINE, “You’d think after what she went through with Chris, RiRi would be extra careful about learning the background of any man she gets close to. It’s almost as if she has a dark side of her own — an attraction to bad boys.”

NOW AN AGENT FOR MATT KEMP TELLS E! THE RESTRAINING ORDER THAT TERRELL FILED HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THEY BOTH CONSIDER IT A NON ISSUE.

IS RIHANNA DONE PLAYING THE FIELD? WE HEAR SHE’S GOT A HOT NEW MAN IN HER LIFE – LA DODGER MATT KEMP!

LOOKS LIKE THINGS ARE HEATIN UP BETWEEN RIHANNA AND MATT KEMP! THE POP STAR AND THE DOGERS OUTFIELDER HAVE BEEN SPOTTED OUT TOGETHER A LOT LATELY, AND HE EVEN WENT WITH HER TO ABU DHABI ON NEW YEARS EVE WHERE SHE PERFORMED…

FROM THERE, THE COUPLE HEADED TO MEXICO WHERE THEY WERE SPOTTED LOCKIN LIPS POOLSIDE…

A SOURCE TELLS HOLLYWOODLIFE.COM, “Rihanna and Matt are starting to get serious…Rihanna likes him because he’s such a gentleman…and super sexy!”

LOOKS LIKE RI’S HIT A HOME RUN…

From Rihanna’s Mohawk to Jessica Simpson’s mom jeans, plenty of singers changed up their look this year – For better or worse. It’s CelebTV.com’s Music Makeovers of 2009.

We gotta give Rihanna props for mixing up her style – even though we didn’t love every look. From her dark ‘80s bowl cut to some gravity-defying ‘dos and bold blonde highlights, Ri kept us guessing about her signature crop.

The singer also rocked some fierce new fashions this year and showed off a bangin’ new tat.

We also give points to Jessica Simpson for bouncing back after a run-in with some seriously bad pants! Jess wore a pair of high-waisted jeans to a chili cook-off last January. As soon as the pics hit the web, she got slammed for apparently packing on the pounds.

But once Jess went back to her usual figure-flattering clothes, she looked picture-perfect...We hope she burned those pants!

Jess’s brother-in-law Pete Wentz also made us do a double-take in ’09. The rocker lightened up on the guy-liner, then ditched his trademark black locks for a buzz cut. He revealed the no-nonsense new ‘do on Twitter, citing “the death of the emo swoosh.” Whatever you call it, it’s an improvement!

Kelly Osbourne also made herself over this year. During her stint on Dancing With the Stars, she went platinum blonde, lost the baby fat and traded her school girl frocks for rockin’ red-carpet dresses.

Finally, Susan Boyle burst onto the scene in ’09 with her dowdy looks and superstar pipes. The Scottish singer got a swanky look to match her new star status, thanks to Harper’s Bazaar magazine. Way to go Su-Bo!
