When it comes to dating, lately Rihanna’s been talking the talk but not walking the walk.

The pop star, who’s 6th album came out this week, was just recently named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire magazine. She appreciated the compliment but while on the Ellen Show, she said she doesn’t consider herself the sexiest. Rihanna just credits photographer for making her look good on the magazine cover, which features her fully nude, covered in tabacco leaves.

Rihanna flat out explained to Ellen she’s not dating anybody right now, and added she doesn’t like it when guys are intimidated by her. It’s kind of hard not to be intimidated by someone with nude magazine photoshoots!

“I’m not necessarily happy being single. It sucks but it is what it is,” she told Ellen.

It seems like Rihanna went on the Ellen to record an eHarmony video profile. The young singer sounded a bit desperate at times by overstating how unhappy she is being single and not having any time off work. She even pointed to her lady bits and claimed “she’s not happy either”. Well, Rihanna, there are numbers to call for someon to come over and take care of that.

“That’s why I stay on Twitter. So I can conversate with my fans. I don’t get no booty calls,” Rihanna explained.

Watch the very revealing interview with Ellen posted below.

In Touch is reporting that Chris Brown and Kelly Rowland are hooking up. Sources say the two have hit it off while on tour.

Rowland and Brown are working together on Chris’ F.A.M.E. tour. Sources say Chris started asking out Kelly four days into the tour, and the couple started going out. Initially Kelly was not interested, but eventually she gave into his advances.

There is a bit of an age difference of course. Kelly is 30 years old and Chris is only 22 years old.

Do you think there is truth to this rumor? This video while Chris and Kelly were on stage could suggest something might be going on…..

The Gossip Girl seems to change boyfriends as often as she changes her underwear (granted, if she ever wears any!).

A few weeks ago, the 24-year-old actress was roaming Europe with the Inception fox Leonardo DiCaprio. Now, Hollywood Life is reporting she’s cozying up with Canuck cutie Ryan Reynolds.

Ryan, who divorced from Scarlett Johansson earlier this year, allegedly had a romantic evening with Blake in Boston where he’s shooting his new movie R.I.P.D. The rumoured item were once an item on the big screen, playing the lead roles in The Green Lantern.

One might think the way Blake moves from one man to the other isn’t entirely classy. We certainly don’t want her invading our country, breaking the hearts of all our good men. After all the marital pain Ryan’s endured lately, we hope Blake’s in it more than to just hit it.

Kelly Clarkson was interviewed by Access Hollywood last week where she compared dating to an American Idol audition.

“It’s like an ‘American Idol’ audition. The worst ones are the most confident… And the same thing goes for my dating life. The worst guys are the most confident with me.”

Ironically, Clarkson’s new track is called ”Mr. Know It All.” Coincidence?

Is Drake in a romantic relationship with tennis star Serena Williams? Well Serena denies it, and she claims they are just good friends.

“Oh, man. Really?” she said to the Toronto Star. “We’re really close friends. Can’t be too close to a friend nowadays, I guess.”

Drake and Serena have been spotted spending a fair bit of time together. The two were seen hanging out in Florida together, and Drake was seen supporting Serena this weekend at the Rogers Cup in Toronto.

Drake has offered no comment regarding the relationship. However, signs would indicate there is more than a “friendship” going on there.

Is Drake dating tennis star Serena Williams? Well MediaTakeOut is reporting that is the case. The two look quite close hanging out at a South Florida resort this past weekend.

A source tells MTO that the two checked in together, and they were inseparable. They even played a few rounds of tennis.

It’s quite an odd couple. We mean Drake seems more appropriate for a girl like Rihanna compared to Serena Williams. But whatever floats your boat!

The actor said yesterday at a Cannes event:

“Yeah, we are together. She’s talented, intelligent, beautiful. She’s warm and friendly. She’s very supportive, and very kind, very funny. She makes me laugh a lot … Hopefully, I have some of those qualities as well.”

McAdams’ last high-profile romance was with actor Ryan Gosling.

Congrats to them – they seem like a happy, normal couple. Both are relatively low key, so I think it will turn out good.

After months of speculation, awkward twitpics and interviews, Chelsea Handler has finally confirmed rumours that she dated 50 Cent.

But of course, we all knew that anyways, right?

Although she admits the two were an item, she stresses the relationship was very casual.

Handler, who is usually on the one asking the questions on her show Chelsea Lately, took a turn to the other side on Tuesday when she sat down for an interview with Piers Morgan and answered questions about her personal life.

“We dated, very casually,” Handler admitted. “He’s a very sweet, nice guy… I was sampling, kind of, the atmosphere, seeing what was out there, and I was satiated.”

With this confirmation, rumours are finally put to rest.

Throughout the fall and winter, the two played with the web and press but never fully defined their relationship.  At one point, Handler posted a photo of the two in bed and tweeted,”I don’t know why anyone thinks I would ever date a rapper.”

When pictures of them dining closely surfaced, Handler firmly denied the rumours.

As did the rapper, in an interview with Vibe Magazine, in which he said:

“”Chelsea is confident. I think confidence is the sexiest thing about a person. She’s the kind of person that if you’re blessed with the opportunity to hang out with her, you’ll enjoy it. I’m not sure you’ll look at her and actually want to jump over the table and f**k her, but you might. You would leave after talking with her feeling that she is a cool person.”

Oh you guys.  Did you really have to do all this hiding?  Piers Morgan must be some interviewer to be able to get Handler to fess up!

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, TV reality star Audrina Patrdige opens up about her dating life.

“I’m actually single right now,” the VH1 reality star tells PEOPLE with a laugh. “Single life is fun.”

“It’s hard because being in the industry I’m in, if I talk to another guy or if I’m seen with someone, all of a sudden that’s my boyfriend,” she says. “So I don’t really get a chance to date, because then it’ll be all over the tabloids.”

Although Patridge broke up with her Australian BMX star boyfriend, finding a new guy isn’t a top priority.

“I’m just kind of focusing on my career and I’m just so busy,” the Audrina star says. “We’ll see what happens. If I meet someone, that’d be awesome, but if not, that’s okay right now.”

However, one must ask the question – what kind of guy is Audrina looking for?

“I like a guy who has a sense of humor,” Patridge says. “Looks – you know, that’s always a good thing. And someone respectful and they kind of have an edge, but they know how to treat a woman. Whenever you meet someone, if you have that connection or that chemistry, you kind of know right off the bat that there’s something going on.”

Big buzz hit the internet earlier this week when Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and screen star boyfriend Jason Statham stepped out with an extra little accessory – a HUGE rock on Whiteley’s ring finger!

Many speculated that the older action hero finally popped the question, but Whitely took time to dispel the rumors, stating “no, that’s not an engagement ring.”

Well then why would you wear it on your RING finger?! Silly girl!

Though Statham is getting on in years, Whiteley is only 23,  so there’s no harm in the couple waiting a bit before getting hitched.

False alarm! We guess everyone loves a little attention every once in a while!

Looks like that swagger coach is finally paying off!

Justin Bieber decided on a whim last week to fill girlfriend Selena Gomez’s house with flowers, a spontaneous gesture that cleaned out a local flower shop and took multiple trucks to fulfill.

Aww, that’s so sweet… and completely insane.

Sources at TMZ say that Selena loved the grand gesture, despite the date holding no special significance for either of them.

A wonderful gift, but if we were Selena we might be a little freaked out right now! Flowers are nice, but a HOUSE FULL of flowers sounds kind of creepy…

Enjoy it while it lasts, Selena!

There’s definitely “One Less Lonely Girl” in the world this week!

Justin Bieber skipped Superbowl fever this past weekend, instead opting to spend some time in Santa Monica with his girlfriend Selena Gomez. The pop sensations were photographed on the beach chatting, walking, smooching, and presumably laughing at Bieber’s utterly ridiculous cardigan.

Though the relationship has not been confirmed or denied, the Biebs has gone on record with Ryan Seacrest gushing over Gomez. “She’s like one of my best friends,” he divulged.

Well, we definitely foresee this relationship lasting a very long time. Possibly for all eternity. Only time will tell…

Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, has decided to rear his head in the media again!

It’s been three years since his tell-all book about his sister was released, and the siblings haven’t spoken since. Now that he’s ridden that wave for as long as possible, he’s decided to open up about Madonna’s love of younger men.

Ciccone says:

“I guess if she continues to date all these much younger guys, it could start to look creepy.  But I think that a lot of Madonna’s emotional needs are met by taking care of her children; these boyfriends must really be like a kind of distraction for her. She certainly isn’t following societal values, but then again my sister never has and probably never will either.”

Hmm… we’re not the biggest Madonna fans, but at least we know we can’t tell her who to date!

Maybe you should keep your mouth shut, Chris!

dSomewhere in the world Taylor Swift is having a MAJOR hissy fit!

Love and Other Drugs star Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted hanging out with actress Camilla Belle at a charity gala this Saturday night when things took a turn for the COZY!

“They were talking intimately and laughing,” an eyewitness says. “There really seemed to be chemistry, a connection.”

If the two end up hooking up, this would be the SECOND hottie Ms. Belle has stolen from country star Taylor Swift. It’s rumored that Joe Jonas dumped Taylor in a 27-second phone call to be with Camilla, only to break up with her as well months later.  Taylor has penned many songs about Camilla’s man-stealing ways, including “Better than Revenge,” a fan favourite track off of her latest album, Speak Now.

Some choice lyrics:

“she’s not a saint and she’s not what you think/she’s an actress/ she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress…she should keep in mind there is nothing that I do better than revenge.”

Ouch! We can’t wait to hear the song to come out of this one!
