Rihanna prefers to be friends with a guy before she dates them. The 'Umbrella' singer - who is rumored to be dating R'n'B star Chris Brown - has revealed her top tip for romance is to befriend a guy as it is "easier to flirt."

She said "When I fancy a boy I always start off by hanging out with him in a group."

Rihanna says rumors of a romance with Jay-Z are "crazy."

The 'Umbrella' singer has denied anything other than professional involvement with the rapper, who has mentored the 20-year-old singer since the early stages of her career.

R&B singer Usher says that newcomer Chris Brown would hopefully "follow the same path" that he did.

The "Confessions" singer claims that the 19-year-old's style is a lot like what he does and if he continues to improve, Brown would hopefully follow his path.

Rihanna says she can't date singer Chris Brown, because he is like a brother to her.

The 'Umbrella' singer, who sparked rumors she was involved with the 'Gangsta Boo' star after they were seen on holiday together earlier this year, insists she doesn't think of him romantically.

Chris Brown is not dating Rihanna. The R&B singer insists that he is a single guy despite the pictures showing him and the "Umbrella" singer getting intimate on different locations.

The rumored couple were recently spotted getting cozy together in a pool in Jamaica. They were also reportedly seen making out during Paris Fashion Week.

Rihanna and Chris Brown have been seen kissing "passionately."

The 'Umbrella' star and the 18-year-old R'n'B singer were spotted getting hot and steamy at a Paris Fashion Week party for photographer Peter Beard last weekend.
