"Grammy Awards organisers have denied speculation that they refused to let Rihanna perform at this year&amp;#039;s ceremony. Show producers have insisted that they hold no bad feelings toward the &amp;#039;Russian Roulette&amp;#039; star, who pulled out of last year&amp;#039;s ceremony after a violent altercation with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. &amp;quot;How can you be mad at Rihanna? Rihanna is a lovely person. No, we&amp;#039;re not mad at her,&amp;quot; organiser Ken Ehrlich told Access Hollywood. Ehrlich revealed that he spoke to Rihanna about performing at the event, which takes place in Los Angeles on January 31. &amp;quot;We actually talked about possibly doing something this year, but I think probably next year will be Rihanna&amp;#039;s year,&amp;quot; he added. Last year, the 21-year-old hinted that she would not be invited to perform at the ceremony, saying: &amp;quot;We messed their show up pretty bad last year. They might be a little mad at me.&amp;quot;  Rihanna recently confirmed that she is planning to attend this year&amp;#039;s event on her own. The singer is nominated for &amp;#039;Best Rap/Sung Collaboration&amp;#039; for &amp;#039;Run This Town&amp;#039;, with Jay-Z and Kanye West. &amp;gt; Grammy Awards 2010: The Nominees "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
