Barbados-born songstress Rihanna is
set to perform her No. 1 hit single "S.O.S." live on TEEN
CHOICE 2006 Sunday, Aug. 20 (8:00-10:00 PM ET Live/PT Tape-Delayed) on
FOX. Jessica Simpson and Dane Cook will co-host the eighth annual
special, where the coolest stars will receive coveted Teen Choice
Surfboard awards. TEEN CHOICE 2006 will offer an advance look at the
glitz and glamour before the event during a red carpet special Sunday,
Aug. 20 (7:30-8:00 PM ET Live/PT Tape-Delayed).
Rihanna's "A Girl Like Me," which recently hit platinum
status, is the follow-up to her gold debut album of last year,
"Music of the Sun." That album featured her No. 1 dance hit
"Pon De Replay," a traffic-stopper in the U.S. and Europe that
was certified a triple-platinum digital download by the RIAA. With its
infectious sample of "Tainted Love" (the Soft Cell classic),
"S.O.S." became Rihanna's second worldwide phenomenon, and the
single hit No. 1 on numerous international charts, including Canada and
Japan. At TEEN CHOICE 2006, Rihanna could walk away with five Surfboards
for Choice Female Artist, Choice R&B Artist, Choice Hottie, Choice
Breakout and Choice Music Single for "S.O.S."
