Justin Bieber and Beyonce Among Stars Seen Taking in the 2011 NBA All-Star Game - Associated Content

With the Los Angeles location making it quite convenient for the stars, a long list of big names were on hand for the 2011 NBA All-Star Game at the Staples Center on Sunday evening (February 20).

Making for quite the impressive front row, "Never Say Never" teen sensation Justin Bieber sat courtside with Beyonce Knowles  and husband Jay-Z who were just a few seats down.

Meanwhile, rocker Lenny Kravitz also grabbed a spot alongside Bieber after taking the stage for a pre-game performance with his bandmates.

Among the other notable names on hand for the showdown between the Eastern and Western Conference All-Stars were Lakers lover Jack Nicholson as well as Lil Wayne, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Bruno Mars and "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler.

Tending to performance duties at halftime, birthday girl Rihanna was in the spotlight at the Staples Center last night as she offered up a sizzling show at the NBA All-Star game.

The Barbadian beauty took the stage as she kicked things off with a rendition of her career-launching single "Umbrella" before transitioning into her hot new hit "Only Girl In the World".

Also delivering an energetic rendition of "Rude Boy," RiRi was then joined onstage by Canadian rapper Drake for their chart-topping duet "What's My Name?" - during which Drake changed up the lyrics to offer up birthday wishes to Rihanna.

Closing things out to the delight of the packed crowd, Kanye West emerged for the final song of the evening as he and Rihanna performed "All of the Lights" - which just saw in the release of its music video directed by Hype Williams the previous day.

Once finished up with the show, Rihanna changed into something more comfortable and grabbed up a seat alongside Justin Bieber as the pair watched the Western Conference team beat the Eastern Conference squad by a score of 148-143. Kobe Bryant was named MVP.
