Rihanna apparently offered £5m to switch on some Christmas lights
Apparently Rihanna has been offered £5m to switch on the Christmas lights at the Westfield shopping centre in Stratford - where most shop assistants earn less than £18,000 a year. Newham is also one of the poorest places in the country.

I'd do it ffs, I don't live that far away. Stick in a free Nando's & I'm happy.
Who wouldn't bring in £5 million worth of publicity. :rolleyes:
I bet you lot wouldn't be bothered if they'd spent that money on a TV advertising campaign.
He'd do it for half price...
Throw in a croissant and a cheap bottle of vino, and Bob's your uncle.
He said hed do it for free
Does Westfield in Stratford actually need an advertising campaign - its jam packed all the time with the 'Im always window shopping but never stopping to buy types?
I expect the sort of people who just decide to go to a shopping centre because Rihanna is switching on the Xmas lights for one evening probably don't have a lot of cash to spend anyway.
It is still an obscene amount of money - even if she is going to sing a song as well as push a button?!
You really are very sharp with your barbs.
You would have to live in a cave to not be aware that Westfield has a big new shopping centre in Stratford.
:p Good to know.
Given the sort of people Rihanna attracts I hope they have good security on that night - as the only stock they shift will be nicked.
Its hardly going to attract the John Lewis crowd!
It is a rather sad society we live in that would pay anyone that much for doing so little - especially in one of the poorest places in England where the majority of children live below the poverty line.
One might suggest Westfield might had got a lot more - and better publicity - from giving £5m to local charities for the children, elderly and disabled for them to have a nicer Christmas. Now that would appeal to the John Lewis crowd with the cash.
Do you live in east London - i.e. the area from which visitors to the centre will come?
