Rihanna: I'm ready for love
RIHANNA has had the year from hell but when we sat down yesterday she told me she has finally stopped getting mad and is ready to move on.
"I was angry... then I got vulnerable and started to miss the person," she said in an eXSclusive interview, referring to her abusive ex-boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.
"It was a rollercoaster. The studio became a place of peace and therapy. But now I'm enjoying being single. It's a whole new world to me.
"Dating would be fun to incorporate. It's a lot of commitment so I don't want a serious relationship.
"I'm linked to so many men it's ridiculous. I AM single. And I would put love on the side for what I do because it means so much to me."
But, in a sign of her re- discovered cheeky side, she then winked: "I don't miss sex because I still have fun by myself. You get what I mean?"
That's my girl!
RiRi jetted into London yesterday before her X Factor performance tonight of amazing new single Russian Roulette from the XS approved album Rated R.
Talking about the ongoing effect of Brown's assault she added: "Initially I didn't want to let my guard down and let people in. I didn't even want to talk about love. But then I recorded a song about revenge - wanting to put someone through what they've put you through so they can finally understand why you can't forgive them."
Rihanna, 21, also waded into the latest size zero debate when I explained how her pal Kate Moss sparked outrage by saying "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
RiRi shrieked hysterically and yelled: "I can't believe she said. That is SO crazy.
"I love food because I'm from Barbados. If I was a catwalk model I'd be considered fat which I know is ridiculous."
Then, after a few moments thought Rihanna added: "I don't think people should discriminate against thicker models OR skinny models. If you're size zero you shouldn't be banned from the runway." We also gossiped about two of the other biggest female stars on the planet.
On Cheryl Cole Rihanna said: "I've met her. She's so hot. I remember in Girls Aloud I'd always look at her because she's the cutest one!"
On Lady GaGa she added: "We're not normal, we're artists. We're the craziest people who live. We're very sucked up into art and we don't give a f*** who likes it or who hates it because it's what we live and breathe.
"I respect more than anything people who are not afraid to be themselves."
For that Rihanna, I respect you.

RiRi is nothing less than fabulous. She's a lot like an ol' school superstar from back in the days when movie stars ruled and everyone else sucked. Luv to her always:)

A YEAR FROM HELL!!! are you friggin serious. She is a millionaire with nothing but the best at her feet and she says she has been living in hell. Get a grip you SILLY STUPID SPOILT LITTLE GIRL. I dont condone viloence to women at all but did she not start that argument and did she not go back to him briefly after it as well. She wants to head down to the homeless or the sick kids in hospital with no hope of survival or even get over and see our wounded soldiers with lost limbs or families that have lost the loved ones. THAT RIHANNA IS LIVING IN FRIGGIN HELL!!!!Get a Grip you dozy cow..

Rihanna's so much more beautiful than most of the size zero models, and she's talented and has her whole life ahead of her. I really admire her for standing up for herself and against domestic violence.

RE her comment about being considered fat for a model being ridiculous ... Not that ridiculous, love - your thighs make Roberto Carlos look like a stick insect.

She's obliviously looking for true love.
Isn't she?
