Rihanna

R&B singer Rihanna, who is the talk of the town when it comes to dating rumors, continues to defend herself regarding the various ‘hear say’ hook-ups. In an interview in the upcoming issue of Allure Magazine, the superstar shots down rumors that she made-out with actor Josh Hartnett. "This is what really happened. He and my management, they have each other's contact information. I went to (the New York club) Pink Elephant, and he came by. All of a sudden, the next day, I'm seeing that we were kissing and hugging up each other." "You can't even go out with a friend who's a celebrity and have a good time without people making (bleep) up," Rihanna says in the magazine's January issue. "Well, at least he's good-looking, right?" Rihanna also continues to deny rumors that she hooked up with Def Jam’s Presidente and Beyonce’s boyfriend Jay-Z and also actor Shia LaBeouf. Of Jay-Z's Grammy-winning gal pal, Rihanna says: "She's Beyonce, and I'm (his) new protegee. When we see each other we say hi. We're not enemies, but we're not `friends' friends." Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in St. Michael, Barbados, burst onto the music scene in 2005 with her debut album "Music of the Sun," which spawned the hit "Pon De Replay"; her 2006 follow-up, "Girl Like Me" produced the smash single "S.O.S." But it was her megahit "Umbrella" that placed her squarely in the ranks of the Beyonces of the world. The song, released last May, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart — and stayed there for seven weeks.
