Now that Rihanna is back on the scene after all the interviewing about her and Chris Brown, she is stepping out into Middle Eastern territory for the new year with a grand performance.

Looking like this Middle East performance is set in stone, Rihanna will be bringing in the new year 2010 in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates and one of the richest cities on the globe.  This is all a part of a New Year’s celebration and the entire event will take place on the West Lawn of Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace where Shakira once performed last year.

Now that is all said and done, Rihanna won’t be going as a Good Girl Gone Bad, but much “worse” -  Rated R.  Watch out Abu Dhabi…it’s Rihanna!
