RIHANNA AGREES TO COVER UP FOR MALAYSIA SHOW

Raunchy R+B star RIHANNA has promised to tone down her live act for a concert in Malaysia next month (Feb09), because she doesn't want to offend any of the Muslim country's citizens.
The Malaysian government have strict rules when it comes to female performers, and artists are required to cover up from their shoulders to their knees.
And the Umbrella hitmaker, who is known for donning flesh-baring PVC corsets and knee high boots for her gigs, has agreed to abide by the conservative laws when she takes her Good Girl Gone Bad roadshow to Kuala Lumpur on 13 February (09).
Razman Razali, managing director of Pineapple Concerts, the promoters behind the show, says Rihanna's management is "aware of the country's regulations and the difficulties of doing a show".
Artists like Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani have previously faced protests in the country for their immodest wardrobe choices, and the former No Doubt singer lashed out at the government by claiming she made "a major sacrifice" when she gave in to the dress rules for her show in the country last year (08).
