Rihanna made an in-person appearance at a Westfield Shopping Centre in London, England this week to do the honors of turning on the Xmas lights to officially kick off the Xmas shopping season. Yes folks, it is apparently Xmas time already. Ri Ri, with red Kool-Aid hair blazin’, rocked the red carpet before she did any actual light switch flipping … behold:
Pop star Rihanna said she loves London and wants a house in the capital as she switched on the Christmas lights at a shopping centre. Wearing a red silk skirt, grey corset and a white bow in her hair, the singer cheered as the lights marked the official launch of the festive season. She was joined on stage at the Westfield shopping centre in London’s Shepherd’s Bush by children from charity Help a London Child. Barbados-born Rihanna, 22, said she “loves Christmas time” because she “loves gift-wrapping” presents for family and friends. “I’m very excited to be in London, and surprised that so many people have turned out to see me. I love London, maybe one day I’d like to have a home here,” she added. Hundreds of red roses and dazzling pyrotechnic displays lined the stage where Rihanna was joined by TV presenter George Lamb.
Despite the fact that a great many of us, me included, ARE NOT READY FOR XMAS just yet it would seem that we are being steamrolled right into the holiday season whether we like it or not. The huge Xmas tree has already been put in place at The Grove here in LA and I’m pretty sure that cities all over the world are hoping to squeeze as much money as they can out of Xmas this year and are also jumping the gun on Xmas ’10 as well … but … I digress. After the jump, check out video from Rihanna‘s Xmas lights ceremony in London this week and try to get into the Xmas spirit — I guess …
It does look like it was a fun event for everyone who came out … tho, I’m bummed that they didn’t even give Rihanna a fake light switch to flip to make it seem like actually did anything but stand there. I am so not into Xmas just yet but … at least it looks like some folks are already excited to celebrate Xmas this year.
