Rihanna wins at VMAs

Hey peoples, just sneaking in a few posts while on break. Well, you Cheese-on-Bread voters can cut cards, as my granny would say. As you predicted, Rih-Rih won Video of the Year for Umbrella at last night's MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas. She also copped the Monster Single of the Year for, you guessed it, Umbrella. Here's a summary of some of Ms. Rihanna's Las Vegas activites in pictures and video.

No awards show is worth its salt these days without having other glitzy affairs leading up to it, and the MTV VMAs were no different. One such event was the Samsung Gleam Private Dinner and After Party at Tao, where Rihanna dined with (l-r) Kidada Jones (Quincy Jones' daughter, and mega producers Jermaine Dupri, Quincy Jones and Pharrel Williams. Hmm, I sense some future collaborations here...



Last night at the VMAs, Rihanna looked resplendent in rose-pink, and was easily one of the best dressed women on the red carpet.


Later during the show, she performed Umbrella with Chris Brown. I was disappointed they didn't sing more of the song though. Gotta hand it to Chris Brown, though. He's one talented 18 year old.




You can check out the video below. (That video has been taken down, so view it here.)


And what's a big night without the support of friends, right? They could pass for sisters....
