Hot leather for Rihanna

NOT many people could look good in an all-in-one leather shorts/jacket/fisherman hat combo, but it worked for RIHANNA at Radio 1's Big Weekend.

She was due to headline the Main Stage yesterday but gave up her mid-evening spot for dance act PENDULUM so she could be whisked off to play a Dublin gig straight after.

But Rihanna lived up to her original billing, clattering through her hits including Disturbia and Rude Boy to the biggest crowd of the weekend.

JLS struggled to be heard above the squeals of fans in a blistering show at the event in Bangor, north Wales. On a sweltering day the boys melted more than a few hearts in the crowd. They showcased upcoming single The Club Is Alive and Brrrap packer CHIPMUNK joined them on stage for Only Tonight, after a bouncing set on Saturday.

Also putting in a decent shift yesterday was Pixie Lott, who delivered soaring vocals. PAOLO NUTINI kicked things off on the Main Stage with a swaggering performance. MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS were also awesome.
