RIHANNA STEPS OUT IN A DRAMATIC OUTFIT … AND DENIES RUMOURS SHE’S SEEING LEO

RIHANNA has played down rumours she is seeing Leonardo DiCaprio — saying she is too busy for a relationship.

The singer, who stars in animated film Home and is soon expected to release her latest album R8, advised fans to stay away from gossip blogs, saying “they will screw you every time”.

Her comments came as she made a dramatic solo return with a performance of new single Bitch Better Have My Money at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles. She wore a black mini dress and green thigh-high Versace boots with a matching fur coat, left.

She told Hello! magazine her ideal man would be “one who could tolerate my schedule”, adding: “I’m so busy right now that I just don’t have a lot of time to offer to a man so it wouldn’t even be fair to be thinking of pulling somebody else into this life. But if I did, he would have to be man enough to live with my schedule and not get scared.” When asked about the Hollywood star, inset, with the question: “How does Rihanna DiCaprio sound to you?” She said: “It sounds to me like you should stay away from the blogs because they will screw you every time.”

Rihanna, 27, also spoke about how inspiring her mother and grandmother had been, saying women have “come so far in the last few years that anything is possible for us”. She added: “It’s all about giving and caring and loving each other and the more we respect ourselves for being that way, the more men will respect us, too.”

She said the biggest misconception about her is that her life is “exciting around the clock”, claiming she is “so boring” at home: “I just want to lie on the couch and watch TV. I love reality TV — although I know it’s awful. Late at night, I only watch cartoons because I don’t want to get scared.”
