RIHANNA still listens to ex-boyfriend Chris Brown’s music — despite the fact he left her black and blue following an altercation earlier this year.

The classy Russian Roulette hitmaker says she doesn’t turn off the radio when Brown’s tunes are played.

“There are a lot of … places that we’ve been to together, music, different things that come up that are reminders of your ex,” the singer, 21, tells the Atlanta radio station Q100. “When [his music] comes on the radio, I don’t … turn it off. I like his music.”

“I’ve gotten over it, but there are definitely constant reminders … songs that were our favorite songs, or hit songs,” she adds.

Rihanna then denied rumors linking her to 90210 star Tristan Wilds.

“This is funny: I had a house party, and you know how you hold house parties and people come over you don’t even know,” she says. “He came by, brought his friends, and everyone was hanging out, but I don’t even have his number. So I don’t know how I could be dating him.”

“I’m a very flirty girl, though,” she adds. “I don’t think I have all the time for a commitment right now, or the energy. A relationship is another life, another career, really.”

RIHANNA has revealed she likes men with eye-popping penises.

The Russian Roulette hitmaker — who has previously dated singer Chris Brown — insists size is important when it comes to finding the perfect partner.

“He has to be good in bed and the size matters,” Rihanna told German magazine Bravo when asked what a guy needed to impress her.

“The inner beauty counts as well, but without a toy it doesn’t make it fun. Right now I don’t want to have a serious relationship, I want to have fun.

“I love flirting at the moment. I’m single and I’m enjoying my freedom. But I don’t give my phone number out that often. But if I’m dating, I check the boy from the top to the bottom.”

Rihanna, 21, was recently linked to 90210 actor Tristan Wilds.

RIHANNA is fast becoming pop’s biggest diva!

The Russian Roulette hitmaker — who’s currently in London to promote her new album Rated R – apparently had a meltdown when her driver was just three minutes late.

“She was with a massive entourage and one was on the phone to the driver, asking where he was,” a source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper.

“Suddenly Rihanna started shouting in the face of this guy, saying: ‘Where the f*** is my car?’ After another minute, she squawked, ‘I mean it guys, you’ve now got 30 seconds to get me my car or someone is losing their employment. I f***ing mean it, 10 seconds and I get nasty’.”

Moments later, Rihanna’s car arrived.

“The driver was so panicked, he almost drove the wrong way down Piccadilly Circus,” the source added.

Meanwhile, Rihanna is reportedly dating 90210 actor Tristan Wilds.

Wilds apparently attended a party RiRi held over the weekend at her L.A. home, where she was saying goodbye to pals before taking off for a set of London gigs.

“No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party — it was very intimate,” a source told the New York Daily News. “But everyone quickly realized they weren’t meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see.”

The pair — Rihanna, 21, and Wilds, 20 — were introduced by a music producer who has worked with both of them — Wilds is currently working on an album of his own.

“They’ll keep in touch while she’s away,” adds the source. “They’re already planning to use iChat and Skype to stay in contact until Tristan finishes shooting 90210 for the season and can fly out to meet her on the road.”

RIHANNA has clearly moved on from her violent ex-boyfriend Chris Brown — she’s reportedly dating 90210 actor Tristan Wilds.

Wilds apparently attended a party RiRi held over the weekend at her L.A. home, where she was saying goodbye to pals before taking off for a set of London gigs.

“No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party — it was very intimate,” a source told the New York Daily News. “But everyone quickly realized they weren’t meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see.”

“They’ll keep in touch while she’s away,” adds the source. “They’re already planning to use iChat and Skype to stay in contact until Tristan finishes shooting 90210 for the season and can fly out to meet her on the road.”

RIHANNA planned to make an album full of rock songs — until her record label got involved.

The Russian Roulette singer — who performed to a packed crowd, which included me, at London’s Brixton Academy on Monday — apparently wanted her new album, Rated R, to be a heavy metal record — but her bosses persuaded her down a different musical route.

“I’ve been asked to play with pop artists in the past but turned them down because they didn’t really get the vibe,” said Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, who performed with Rihanna at her Lodnon show.

“But when I spoke to Rihanna she was totally into transforming herself into a heavy rock chick.

“She was listening to Led Zeppelin and new acts like Paramore and said that was the direction she wanted to go, so I said yes.

“I think the label had a seizure, so they went down another route.”

WHERE does Rihanna go when she needs some inspiration?

London, of course!

The Umbrella singer says she wrote most of her new album, Rated R, while she was in the British capital.

“We made a lot of the album in London,” she said. “We took two big trips there and spent some time just figuring out the record. London is one of my favorite cities, it’s where I get most of my creative energy.”

Rihanna, 21, has penned song Cold Case Love about the evening boyfriend Chris Brown assaulted her after a pre-Grammys party.

“It was one of the first songs I did for the album and it is one of the most emotional,” she said.

“When I was given time off in March it was a little crazy. Being at home was driving me mad. I couldn’t go anywhere. It was, like, ‘Look at the poor victim!’ So I called my label and said, ‘I’m ready.’”

CHRIS Brown still has lots of making up to do.

The singer — who assaulted girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year, leaving her battered, bruised and emotionally damaged — was heckled during a recent visit to New York.

While exiting a Footaction store Wednesday night, a woman got within a few feet and shouted, “[bleep]ing beater!” and “I hope someone beats the [bleep]ing [bleep] out of you!”

Brown smiled and walked past her, according to the New York Post – who caught the whole thing on video.

Meanwhile, in a new interview with Wendy Williams, Brown claims he’s been “perceived wrong.”

“The steps that I’ve taken to show that I’m sorry probably have been perceived wrong,” he said. “I’m definitely remorseful, and it’s not something that I take lightly or think that it’s, like, under the rug.”

RIHANNA says she looks at things differently after the events of the past year.

The Umbrella singer — who was left battered and bruised after a fight with boyfriend Chris Brown in February this year — says she has grown up and become “fearless”.

“I definitely grew up, my outlook on life in general, I look at things differently,” she said.

“It really just tells stories,” Rihanna said her new album, Rated R. “It’s the most personal album I have to date, definitely the most sincere, but very fearless and edgy. It’s dark, the lyrics are kind of risque at times.

“Just my whole thing when I was making my album was I just wanted to be myself as much as possible and I have my own attitude, I have my own taste and I wanted to connect with that because it’s unique.”

The 21-year-old recently spoke out about February’s attack in a series of intimate interviews.

“I never spoke about it before so it was definitely a great burden off my chest. It was a release,” she said.

The video for Rihanna’s new single, Russian Roulette, is being released on Friday November 13.

“It’s kind of twisted but it’s going to make people think,” she said of the video. “There’s a great message and story behind it. Russian Roulette is all about a fear, whether it be fear of love or a fear of getting hurt, whether it be emotionally or physically.”

RIHANNA will welcome a “new era” when her new album comes out.

The singer is set to release Rated R later this month and admits she has felt massively nervous about performing songs written in the aftermath of her assault at the hands of former boyfriend Chris Brown.

“There are a lot of butterflies, a lot of excitement,” she said.

“I’m anxious. Like, I can’t wait. But you’re always nervous, because you’re about to go do something big. It’s a new thing, a new era. But I’m not scared. I’m just really excited. I just can’t wait to start.

“My first time performing the songs was on Sunday night in Los Angeles with Jay-Z. We did Run This Town and Hard, and I kept thinking, ‘Why the hell am I so nervous?’ And I couldn’t figure it out. But then I knew why: It was the first time performing one of my new songs.”

Marking her new era, Rihanna looked radiant when she stepped out in New York on Monday night to accept a Woman of the Year award.

The ‘Umbrella hitmaker was one of several high-profile females — including author Maya Angelou, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wife Maria Shriver, designer Stella McCartney, tennis star Serena Williams and comedienne Amy Poehler – honored by Glamour magazine.

US First Lady Michelle Obama was given an award of special recognition for bringing the importance of mentoring to the forefront.

The honorees are chosen by a board of former winners, including Jennifer Lopez, and awards were presented at a special ceremony at Carnegie Hall.

IT’S a surprise pint-sized pop princess Rihanna is in such good shape — because all she eats is junk food!

According to reports, the singer — who is set to perform in London next week — demands pizza, fries and doughnuts in her dressing room.

The 21-year-old Umbrella hitmaker apparently amazed organizers with her requests for her favourite calorific treats, which totaled more than 7,000 calories, and also included crisps, microwave lasagnas, friend noodles, chicken drumsticks — and an apple.

“When it comes to the big US stars, we’re used to getting ridiculously healthy requests,” said a show insider. “Rihanna was a breath of fresh air. There was none of this carb and gluten-free nonsense.”

Rihanna has previously revealed how refuses to watch her diet because she believes performing helps her stop piling on the pounds.

“Being on tour gets you in shape which is good considering how I eat pretty much whatever I can get my hands on,” she said.

“You perform for an hour and a half so you can work some of it off at least. But not all of it!”
