The current queen of pop made a return to the Jingle Bell Ball in London and was back to her old tricks.

Rihanna unveiled a new blonde hairstyle which looked like it may have been a wig as she closed day one of the festive concert yesterday.

The We Found Love singer performed a set full of hits at the O2 Arena and strutted around the stage scantily dressed.

Riri wore a pair of extra tiny black shorts with fishnet tights and a houndstooth wrap hanging from her waist.

She managed to stay on her feet despite rocking an extremely high pair of black ankle boots.

The 23-year-old flashed her midriff as she gyrated across the stage and entertained the audience.

Talking that talk: The Bajan singer gets down with two male dancers

Flanked by some denim clad dancers the Bajan performed tracks from her latest album Talk That Talk as well as others including What's My Name? and Umbrella.

The host for the event was radio presenter Lisa Snowdon.

The model wore an orange dress that also had a cape attached to it.

She held the whole day together and introduced all of the acts before they took to the stage.

The opening day began with The Xtra Factor host Olly Murs performing Dance With Me Tonight.

Wearing a checked shirt and a trilby he also sang Heart Skips A Beat and was then joined on the track by special surprise guests Rizzle Kicks.

The duo then stayed on stage and gave a rendition of their own hit song, Down With The Trumpets.

Olly, who had to rush off to present Xtra Factor, had tweeted about his busy schedule earlier in the day and said: 'Arrived back in London!! HUGE Day ahead!! Am doing @CapitalOfficial Jingle Bell Ball tonight!! Opening show then back for XTRA Factor!! (sic).'

American singer Jason Derulo was next up and he performed a selection of his best selling singles in a glittery silver jacket.

Pixie Lott followed shortly after and opened with Boys And Girls which had the crowd singing along through out.

The blonde 20-year-old wore a short black dress with ankle boots.

She told the crowd that it felt 'great' to be back at Jingle Bell Ball.

The multi-talented Labrinth gave perhaps the most rousing set of the evening.

Labrinth surprised the crowd when he sang his own version of Chris Brown's Beautiful People and got a great reaction from them.

He also performed his debut single Let The Sunshine as well as Pass Out and an acoustic version of Frisky.

When he ended his set with Earthquake the arena erupted and the audience went crazy for his number two hit.

DJ and producer Calvin Harris performed a turntable based set ahead of boy band The Wanted.

The Warzone singers made an unconventional entrance on to the stage by walking through the mostly female crowd.

I'm happy being VERY single: Lisa Snowdon poses for sultry new bikini shots as she blames work hours for her lack of love

Working overnight or very early in the morning can often make meeting a partner very diffcult.

And that's where Capital Radio's breakfast show presenter Lisa Snowdon has firmly laid the blame for her lack of a love life.

The 39-year-old posed in a bikini for a new set of shots in Hello! Magazine where she explained the difficulty she has meeting people because of her unsociable working hours.

Happy being single: Lisa Snowdown says she has trouble meeting potential suitors but she's fine with it

Posing in a halterneck white one-piece bikini Lisa told the magazine that she rarely goes out because of her job.

She said: 'I go to the supermarket. I go to work. So there aren't many opportunities to meet people. Unless you're kind of bonding over the deli counter, it's not going to happen.'

Lisa split from her last boyfriend, Queens Park Rangers footballer Jay Bothroyd, last month saying her working hours meant they struggled to spend time together.

But Lisa, who counts Hollywood hunk George Clooney among her ex-lovers, also revealed that despite finding it difficult to meet someone she is perfectly happy being single for the moment.

She admitted: 'I don't feel like my life is incomplete. I don't feel like a man defines who I am. I'm not lonely. I have great friends and I'm really close to my family.'

On the subject of children, she admits she may never have them, saying she is "not sure that's for me anymore".

The star said she was still "friends" with her former love Clooney.

She said: 'I can't really speak on his behalf, but my feeling is that he did get married, he did try it and it didn't work, so maybe he won't do it again.'

But Lisa also recently revealed that she won't be getting back together with Clooney.

She told the Sunday Mirror: 'I’ve just got back from America and I think everyone started getting a bit suspicious. But we don’t really talk much now.

'I’m still single at the minute and not seeing anybody,” she said. “I need to start looking – maybe not at celebrities though!'

Diva face-off! Nicole Scherzinger and Jennifer Lopez battle it out at Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium - but who won?

They're judges on rival talent show over in the U.S. - but it was up to 75,000 music fans at London's Wembley Stadium to decide who was the best after both Nicole Scherzinger and Jennifer Lopez performed at the Summertime Ball tonight.

The pair were having a diva face-off on the bill at the Capital Radio-organised pop concert on a star-studded bill - but the jury was out on not just who had the best songs, but the best outfits too.

Former Pussycat Doll Nicole, 32, who has just started her job on the X Factor USA, was first up on stage, wearing a low-cut feathery number, despite the chilly rainy weather.

Despite probably worrying about how well her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton was doing in the Canadian Grand Prix - terribly, as it turned out - she was pretty much note perfect as she belted out her short set.

It included her two recent UK No. 3 hit singles Poison and Right There, her No. 1 Don't Hold Your Breath, as well as the Pussycat Dolls 2005 smash Don't Cha and at one point, was carried aloft by hunky male dancers.

She arguably got one over her older rival Jennifer too by changing into a red and black tasselled dress and getting Enrique Iglesias onstage with her.

However, 41-year-old mother-of-two J-Lo was determined not to be outdone, and showed she meant business when she took to the stage in a black jewelled basque with combat trousers and bovver boots.

She romped through tracks including her No. 1 hit Get Right, as well as classics Waiting For Tonight and Jenny From The Block.

After her most recent single I'm Into You though, she changed into in a racy beige basque, jewelled tights and over-the-knee boots to launch into her No. 1 hit On The Floor - one more song than Nicole had in her set.

J-Lo also has more talent show experience than Nicole too, having got an entire series of American Idol under her belt, whereas Nicole has just got a few outings as a guest judge on the UK's X Factor under hers.
Nicole has also recently spoken of her joy at being promoted to a judge after Cheryl Cole was sacked.

Speaking at to be part of the US X Factor and said she was 'ecstatic' after she given a judging role.

The former Pussy Cat Doll was speaking at her debut appearance in New Jersey.

She told The Sunday Mirror: 'I wanted to be part of the show. I love the show, I believed in the show, I believe in Simon.

'When they proposed the idea of me being a judge, I couldn't have been more ecstatic. I absolutely think the dynamic is working and this is a new chapter in my life and I'm so grateful,' she told the Sunday Mirror.

And Jennifer had had something of a warm-up when she performed On The Floor on the live final of So You Think You Can Dance the night before, showing off her incredible figure in a skintight sparkly catsuit.

Other stars who performed at the bash today included Jessie J, who took the stage despite badly injuring her foot in rehearsals, JLS, and the aforementioned Enrique.

He whisked fan Sophie Elphick, 18, out of the audience onto stage to sing for her, before kissing her on the cheek.

Also entertaining the crowds in the bucketing rain were Katy B and Cee Lo Green and the show was hosted by the likes of Capital Radio's Johnny Vaughan and Lisa Snowdon.
