Radio 1's Big Weekend: We thought JLS and Rihanna were A-MAZING!

WE hope loads of OK.co.uk readers got tickets to Radio 1's Big Weekend, because quite frankly - the line-up of stars such as JLS and Rihanna made for a rocking weekend.
Taking to the stage in Bangor, Wales for Radio 1's Big Weekend, were the likes of Rihanna, JLS, Cheryl Cole, Alicia Keys, Pixie Lott, Ke$ha, Florence and The Machine - to name but a few.
We were blown away by Rihanna's sexed-up show - which saw her bumpin' and grindin' around the stage in a reggae-inspired black leather jumpsuit, as well as Cheryl's high-octane dance moves that dazzled the royals.
Marina And The Diamonds had us transfixed with her funky tunes and by her Bambi-print dress, (we WANT one), while Florence And The Machine was just spellbinding - what a tunester.
Essex girl Pixie Lott provided just the right music for us to groove too, while Alicia Keys looked right at home in Wales (so much so she changed her New York, New York lyrics - although we don't think Bangor, Bangor had the same ring).

Rihanna: 'I'm in love with Matt Kemp'

Rihanna has admitted that she is 'in love' with her new boyfriend Matt Kemp.
The 'Rude Boy' singer was first linked to Kemp at the beginning of the year, but had kept tight-lipped over their relationship until now.
Speaking to The Mirror at the Paris date of her 'Last Girl On Earth' tour, the 22-year-old commented: "Oui, oui, oui - it's love!"
She continued: "I'm really happy right now. It's an amazing city. I love it. It would have been so cool if he was here. I was hoping he would be able to come to London [next month] but he's working.
"And I'm touring and shooting videos for my next single so it's going to be seven weeks before I see him again. It'll probably be when I get back to America that we can hook up properly.
"We have to make do with Skype and phone, but I miss him. And this is the most romantic town. I can't wait to see him again."
Rihanna's comments follow reports that she wants to marry the baseball star.
