Rihanna has canceled her upcoming performance in Malaysia due to "recent circumstances" her reps say. Just a couple months ago, Rihanna and her people were negotiating with the Malaysian government about her costumes. Women in the country are not allowed to show much skin, especially not in as sexy of outfits as Rih likes to rock on stage. It looked like they had finally come to a compromise, and now Rihanna won't be attending at all.

Celebs hit the stage and audience for all the awards and performances.  And Jay-Z, M.I.A., Lil Wayne, T.I. and Kanye West all hit the stage for an update Rat Pack performance--called The Rap Pack.  They did "Swagga Like Us" of course. M.I.A.'s baby was like--crowning--while she was hopping around on stage. And look who Weezy brought along--his girl Nivea. Jen and David kicked it in the audience after she won for Best R&B Album. And so did Keyshia Cole and Leona Lewis. More pics when you read the rest...

YBF folks hit up the Black Eyed Peas PeaPod Benefit Concert in L.A. last night: Rihanna was there to kick it with the band. So was Solange in her houndstooth skirt and hot Chanel booties.
