op superstar Rihanna will make her first Perth appearance tonight before thousands of screaming fans at Burswood Dome.
The 20-year-old, a constant feature on lists of the worlds sexiest women, will perform alongside rumoured boyfriend and fellow R - B singer Chris Brown.
Barbados-born Rihanna is best known for songs SOS, Umbrella, Take a Bow and Disturbia, and has sold an impressive 11 million albums worldwide.
Nineteen-year-old Chris Brown is no couch potato either, having accumulated a string of hits including Run It!, Kiss Kiss, With You and No Air since making his recording debut at the age of 16.
Organisers say the performance will go for about three hours.
They are expecting massive crowds and have urged fans to use public transport or car-pool with friends.
Free public transport is offered to all concert ticket holders and drop-off points will be allocated at the east end of Burswood Dome.
Additional parking will be available at Belmont Park Racecourse, with free shuttle busses operating before and after the concert
A series of e-mails and other documents made available to the Niagara Falls Reporter over the weekend shows that Glynn and Paterson were invited to participate in teleconference interviews for the positions that led to the hiring of both Owens and Kay, who each have a large portion of their salary subsidized by the mysterious Building a Better Niagara Falls Fund.
For all intents and purposes, the fund did not exist prior to the last week in April, when newspaper accounts reported that it would provide a sizable chunk of Owens' $110,000-a-year salary.
According to Mayor Paul Dyster, nobody knows who the mysterious benefactors are, since the money is being laundered through the venerable Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo, an umbrella corporation that controls more than 700 various funds and endowments in Western New York.
Chris Glynn's father, Maid of the Mist founder Jimmy Glynn, has neither confirmed nor denied reports that he is one of the prime movers behind the Building a Better Niagara Falls Fund, although his close relationship with the State of New York -- which has led to his receiving no-bid, long-term concessions to operate his tour boats in the state park -- is well known.
Tourism industry insiders have estimated the value of Glynn's current 40-year contract at $1 billion.
In a deal set to close in January, the Glynns' Maid of the Mist Corp. will acquire the Comfort Inn, along with six retail storefronts along the city's West Mall, from Sevenson Hotel Associates for a reported price of $11 million. Coincidentally perhaps, USA Niagara Development subsequently announced a $7.9 million project to improve the West Mall as part of its Old Falls Street initiative
