Rihanna

If you’re still wondering where to bring in 2010 then here’s a suggestion: Rihanna will reportedly receive $500,000 (£299,000) for her first ever performance in the Middle East
She will be performing at the ‘Emirates Palace Hotel’ in Abu Dhabi this New Year's Eve, (according to Page Six).
A spokeswoman for Rihanna did not comment, however a source said: “She was supposed to perform back in May [in Abu Dhabi], but she cancelled in the aftermath of the assault, this is a make-up date.”

Previous performances at the hotel by artists such as Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Coldplay and Elton John have attracted up to 15,000 music fans
