Rihanna performed “We Found Love” on The X Factor USA tonight (November 17)! Watch above.

Don’t miss Rihanna performing on The X Factor UK (Sunday, Nov. 20) and on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (Monday, Nov. 21).

Via JustJared: Rihanna rocks a Snuggie on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Monday (November 21).

Ellen gifted the 23-year-old Talk That Talk singer with a sleep kit to get some rest over the holidays! Ri also chatted about liking confident men:

“I like men that are more aggressive but mysterious but I like a man to be very sure,” Ri said. “I like them to be sure of themselves and know that you’re the man. I’m the lady and the only way for us to make this work is for us to play our roles. You know, I can’t really be the man for you. I don’t want to have to be. I’m the man at work all the time.”

FYI: Ri is wearing a Salvatore Ferragamo jumpsuit, earrings by Delfina Delettrez, jewelry by Solange Azagury-Partridge, and Manolo Blahnik heels.

RiRi was spotted leaving Giorgio Baldi Restaurant in Santa Monica last night (November 16).

RiRi is in Los Angeles to record her performances for The X Factor and The Ellen Degeneres show (check “Events Calendar” in our sidebar). Check out what EW.com has to say about her on The X Factor:

Rihanna performed “We Found Love” twice after the show. The key difference between the two performances was her post-song interview with host Steve Jones. After the first performance, Jones asked Rihanna, who’s worked with L.A. Reid in the past, if the judge is really “that cruel” in person. Rihanna replied, “He’s doesn’t hide anything.” Jones chuckled, “So he really is that cruel!” After the bit was over, Simon signaled over to Jones and a stagehand. The trio huddled for a moment and, before you knew it, Bill had informed us that we were going to film the whole shebang a second time.

After the second performance, Jones instead asked Rihanna to give some advice to the show’s singers. “You have to love what you do,” she responded. I’m not sure which interview you’ll be seeing Thursday night, but my money’s on the latter, less L.A.-hating version.

Think of Rihanna as the anti- Dr. Dre: “Talk That Talk,” her sixth studio album, arrives exactly one year and five days after her last album, “Loud,” hit stores. That album is still going strong on the charts (No. 56 last week on the Billboard 200), as is its latest single, “Cheer (Drink To That)” (No. 58 on the Hot 100). Coming so soon after her last full-length, “Talk That Talk” feels like a special present for Rihanna’s navy of fans, and an oddly rushed-out release to the objective music fan. Why not wait a bit and let the buzz of “Loud” settle in?

PRE-ORDER “TALK THAT TALK”

Because, as a few listens of “Talk That Talk” proves, Rihanna just won’t let her reign let up. The Barbadian pop star came a little too close to a misfire with “Rated R,” her 2009 album. “Rated R” was fascinating but at times too dark, while “Loud” was the blissed-out antidote pop fans craved, a cavalcade of cheeky erotica and stunning production. After reclaiming her crown on “Loud” and proving her longevity, Rihanna is not about to take any sort of break to let her pop princess competitors catch up. Haters can “talk that talk,” but in the end, Rihanna’s going to do her thing, put out a new album and collect more No. 1 singles.
