Inauguration Ceremony
Performers and entertainers by the droves are offering up their services to perform at the President Elect's inauguration ceremony on January 20th.
Barack Obama is the first ever black President in American history and artists such as Beyonce Knowles, Mary J Blige, Puff Daddy and Jay Z are all on board to perform in Washington DC if required by the President.
It had been rumored that fellow Chicagoan Jennifer Hudson was to perform at the ceremony but those reports have been shot down by Obama's camp who explained that a committee has yet to be put into effect to organize the celebration.
Hotels in the Washington Area have been booked up for months for the 20th, before the winner was even announced.
Rihanna cancels show
A show which should have taken place in Indonesia last night with Rihanna as the headline act was cancelled.

It had been speculated that their could be a rebel uprising after the executioned had their fellow brethren promise to encourage further attacks if they were in fact killed.
There is a possibility that the show might be rescheduled in January.
