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 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.
