Fans Cheer For Rihanna

A star-studded crowd at the NBA All-Star slam-dunk competition Saturday in Phoenix cheered in support of Rihanna when her song was played on the PA system during a break in the action.

The 20-year-old pop star is home in Barbados healing from wounds suffered during an alleged domestic dispute with boyfriend Chris Brown on the morning of the Grammys.

Many in the sell-out crowd�which included Eva Longoria Parker, Corbin Bleu, Jordin Sparks, Ludacris, Maria Shriver, Spike Lee and Elliot Yamin�promptly cheered when Rihanna's hit "Umbrella" was played, according to E! Online.

Brown had been scheduled to perform at several of the All-Star weekend events, but canceled in the wake of his arrest following his alleged assault of Rihanna. An NBA official tells E! News of Brown's pulling out: "He's not exactly missed. He does not currently represent the image we are trying to project."
