Rihanna Says Fallout from Chris Brown Attack Was 'My Liberation'
Originally posted 04/05/2012 10:30AM

"It gave me guns," the pop star, now 24, says of being beat up in 2009 by Chris Brown in the May issue of Elle. "I was like, well, f––. They know more about me than I want them to know. It's embarrassing. But that was my opening. That was my liberation."
The strain of trying to keep her personal troubles private was itself a form of imprisonment, she adds.

Originally posted 03/02/2012 01:00PM
In the wake of spending time with her ex, Chris Brown, in recent months, Rihanna has admitted that she's not a fan of flying solo.
"Single life is so overrated," Rihanna, 24, said on Britain's The Jonathan Ross Show. "It sucks. I have such incredible experiences in my life. You don't want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone. That's what I'm missing right now."
Though she insisted that she's "not looking," the "We Found Love" singer said she'd "love to date somebody cool, fun, funny."
