The show was opened by "TiK ToK" star Ke$ha, who was joined by two male dancers in red, white and blue speedos.

At Rihanna Collabo, Lil’ Kim Hints

Australia’s LifeLounge in a current interview, pint sized rapper Lil’ Kim revealed that a coaction with model-with-a-mic, Rihanna, is in the works.
More after the jump…
Speaking on the collabo, the Queen Bee said:
“I’m a huge (Rihanna) fan and she’s a friend of mine, so I’m almost guessing — if I had to guess — I’m 90% sure that a song is likely in the works.”
Though Rihanna’s vocals sound like cats being thrown off a balcony, her slew of hit coactions precedes her. Hence, should this collabo look the light of day, it’d be a smart move on Kim’s part to re-establish herself. After all, her last release was 2005’s (incredible) ‘Naked Truth’. In any case, it’ll be interesting to look how this one plays out…
