Jessie J promises to 'snog Rihanna and Ed Sheeran' should she win three BRIT Awards this year.

The 23-year-old songstress has been nominated in the Best Female Artist, Best Breakthrough Act and Best Single categories.

If she should be triumphant with all three, Jessie has pledged to take on a kissing challenge requested by band 3am.

'Do you dare me just to run up and snog him when he doesn't expect it?' she said between giggles on UK talk show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. 'He might not want me to snog him! Is Rihanna gonna be there? Don't dare me to snog her because I will. Alright. So [I'm] snogging Rihanna and Ed Sheeran.'

Should this scenario play out the way she dreams, Jessie hopes that she will be conscious enough to plant a kiss on Rihanna and Ed.

'If I win all three, I think I'll faint first,' she gushed. 'I don't think it's going to happen.'

The BRIT Awards are important to Jessie, but so is working with some of her favourite musicians. Jessie has revealed how ecstatic she is to potentially be collaborating with iconic Welsh soul singer Tom Jones.

'I have already spoken to Tom about doing something, maybe a single [at the launch of Radio 1's Hackney Weekend 2012 this summer],' she said. 'He is legendary. I would be honoured to sing with him.'

Radio 1's Hackney Weekend festival will take place in London in June 23-34.

The BRIT Awards will be held on February 21 at London's O2 Arena.

Rihanna �still hung up on ex�

Rihanna's friends are concerned that she can't let go of Chris Brown as he is the 'only man she ever seems to have really loved'.

The pair ended their relationship around three years ago after an argument turned violent. Chris was charged with assaulting the pop beauty and served with a restraining order. Recent reports have suggested that the former couple have been 'hooking up'. Chris and Rihanna were even spotted partying at the same nightclub as each other.

Friends of Rihanna say the songstress has found it hard to move on following the messy split, but knows that being apart from the musician is probably best for her career.

'She knows how disappointed her fans ' not to mention her family and friends ' would be if she took him back,' a source told Closer magazine.

'But Chris is the only man she ever seems to have really loved.'

Rihanna is now in contact with Chris after a period of not speaking. Those closest to the gorgeous star are anxious that she'll fall for him all over again.

'They are still in contact and, while they don't speak often, she's met him a few times. Friends are concerned she may believe Chris is a changed man,' the insider added.

Rihanna �enjoying wild time�

Rihanna has been 'going a bit wild' during her extended holiday.

The singer has enjoyed a lengthy break in her native Barbados recently, following the end of her Loud tour and the release of her new album.

There have been suggestions she has been partying too hard while there, with some claiming she has been smoking marijuana. However, those close to her insist she is just having fun while on holiday.

'Right now she's just letting off steam,' a source told Look magazine. 'Ri's been working hard and has just had her heart broken by Chris [Brown] again, so it's natural she wants to get drunk and go a bit wild. But we're all sure she'll get back to her usual happy self once she gets home and back into her routine.'

There has been speculation Rihanna and her ex-boyfriend Chris have been spending time together lately, but it's not thought they are back together.

They have been spotted in the same nightclub but Chris has a new girlfriend. It's thought he has been texting Rihanna, but it's more about the pair of them moving on from their fraught relationship.

'They were each other's first loves and that's something that'll never go away, which is why they were tweeting one another at the end of last year,' the insider added. 'But they were also really bad for each other. They argued all the time, and everyone knows the violent way the relationship ended.'

The former couple split three years ago after an argument turned violent. Chris was charged with assaulting the pop beauty and served with a restraining order.

The protective order slammed on the rapper was lifted a year ago. It required that they have no contact with each other.

Rihanna gets �Thug Life� tattoo

Rihanna has shown off her new tattoo on Twitter which she got in a parlour in Hollywood this week.

The 23-year-old singer was inspired by the late rapper Tupac Shakur and had the words 'Thug Life' inked onto her knuckles.

And instead of going for the usual black design she had the words tattooed in pink ink.

'All these b****es screaming that 2pac back #THUGLIFE,' she wrote.

Tupac formed a group of the same name back in 1993 and released their only album Thug Life: Volume 1 the following year.

The Only Girl In The World songstress also appeared to have got another etching on her back as she posted another image of her lying down on her stomach with tattoo artist Mark Mahoney working on the design while she held a bottle of beer.

'I #LOVE my new tattoo!!! Can't wait for yall to see it!!! I got it in 'Tibetan' this time!!! #approved,' she later wrote. (sic)

Rihanna has approximately 15 tattoos already with no sign of stopping.

Rihanna and Chris Brown won�t get back together

Rihanna and Chris Brown are 'unlikely' to become a couple again following their recent secret hook-ups.

The musical superstars split three years ago after an argument turned violent. Rihanna and Chris have reportedly been seeing each other again, meeting up regularly over the past 12 months.

Although the pair have rekindled their romance, it is doubtful that they will become serious again.

"They have probably hooked up no more than half a dozen times in the past year. It's very unlikely that Rihanna and Chris would ever get back together though,' a source told RadarOnline.

Following the 2009 altercation, Chris was charged with assaulting the pop beauty and served with a restraining order.

Rihanna does not feel victimised any longer and is not interested in what people think about her alleged romance with Chris.

'Rihanna doesn't care if she were to get public backlash if they were to reconcile, she is the one calling the shots now, which she likes,' the source explained. 'Rihanna knows that if they were to get back together, she wouldn't be able to maintain that strong role, and Chris would lose interest. They are both very young, and Rihanna would never be able to trust Chris because he has problems staying faithful."

Rihanna and Coldplay are performing together at the Grammy Awards.

The Barbados-born singer has confirmed she will be taking to the stage with the British rockers at the ceremony, which is being held on February 12.

Rihanna announced the news on Twitter and seemed thrilled about the plan.

'My friends @ColdPlay and I will be sharing the stage for a performance at this years Annual Grammy Awards! #BONKERS (sic),' she wrote.

It's thought Rihanna and Coldplay will perform their duet Princess of China, which is featured on the band's record Mylo Xyloto.

Lead singer of the group Chris Martin has previously spoken of his excitement about working with Rihanna.

'In like a dream scenario, we had a song that I'd secretly kind of written to see if Rihanna would want to sing it. And then the rest of the band wanted to keep it, so we came up with the idea of asking her to sing it with us, and, to our great surprise, she said OK,' he explained.

'Well, her bit on our record is my favourite bit. When the song came out, it sort of asked for her to be on it.'

It's thought the band and singer will also take to the stage at the BRIT Awards later in February.

LL Cool J has been announced as the host of the Grammy Awards, with Kelly Clarkson, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift all set to perform.

Liam Neeson: I don�t know Rihanna tunes

Liam Neeson is 'ashamed' to admit he hasn't listened to any of Rihanna's music.

The actor is starring alongside the songstress in upcoming science fiction movie Battleship. Despite working with each other on set, Liam hasn't familiarised himself with his co-star's famous songs.

He hasn''t tuned in to any records for more than 30 years, starting from when John Lennon was killed in 1980.

"She''s a lovely girl but I don''t know her music, I''m ashamed to say,' he told British newspaper The Sun.

"I met her on set in Hawaii but I stopped listening to music when John Lennon was shot."

Liam has also revealed his confusion at the start of filming. The Hollywood star turned up late because he thought shooting kicked off in December, rather than September.

"I had no preparation, I put on the costume and read the script once. That was it,' he admitted.

Battleship is directed by Peter Berg and follows a fleet of ships forced to fight with an armada of unknown origins.

It is slated for release later this year.

Rihanna and Cheryl Cole to record duet?

Barbadian singer Rihanna and British superstar Cheryl Cole are reportedly recording a duet this week in Los Angeles.

The Daily Star reports that the superstar duo will enter the studio later this week in L.A. quoting a 'source' as saying 'It's been a long time coming and something both their management teams have been trying to arrange, but with their busy schedules and Rihanna's tour dates, they haven't been able to until now.'

The move will undoubtedly be a huge boost for Cheryl Cole in the USA. She has been an enormous star in her native Britain for a decade ever since her band Girls Aloud won TV talent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 but she has struggled for success in North America.

Rihanna, on the other hand, is one of the biggest stars in the world right now. Her sixth album Talk That Talk is out now.
