Rihanna: “If You Don’t Send Your Boyfriend Nudes, I Feel Sorry For Him!”

Castina — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 08:37:25 +0000

Rihanna thinks every woman should send their boyfriend flesh-flashing flicks of themselves.

The “Russian Roulette” singer was mortified when several nude images of her bare body — allegedly sent to former flame Chris Brown — were leaked onto the Interwebs back in May, but eventually realized it was no big deal.

“If you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him,” the pop princess matter-of-factly told Angie Martinez in an interview on the Big Apple’s Hot 97 on Monday.

However, the “Disturbia” hitmaker feels she has lost a great deal of privacy since the naked images started doing rounds on the web.

“I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that and then, when that came out, I thought, ‘oh great, so now there’s nothing they don’t know about me and my private life,” the singer told Martinez.

Rihanna was especially shamefaced at the thought of facing her family after the nudes leaked:

“It was humiliating and it was embarrassing – especially my mom having to see that. It was two days before Mother’s Day, so I was nervous,” Rihanna recalled. “I sent her flowers first before I called and then she texted me – when the world is against me she’s always there supporting. If it’s wrong, she will still let me know but she wouldn’t come down on me like, ‘oh my God, what were you thinking?’”

Rihanna: “Size Matters”

All Rihanna wants for Christmas is a giant peen!

The “Umbrella” hitmaker – who has been single since former boyfriend Chris Brown assaulted her in February – is ready to date again, but the singer says she isn’t interested in suitors who aren’t working with a big stick between the sheets.

At least she’s honest.

“He has to be good in bed and the size matters. You know what I mean? 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,” Rihanna allegedly quipped to German magazine Bravo when asked what it takes for a guy to impress her.

For that reason, Rihanna, 21, is quite selective about who she gives her number to.

“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 has reportedly found herself a new man — the “Token Black Guy” from 90210. The 21-year-old singer got very comfortable wih actor Tristan Wilds, 20, during a recent get-together at her Los Angeles mansion, celebrity snoops divulge in Wednesday’s edition of The NY Daily News.

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

Wilds — who previously appeared alongside Rihanna’s mentor Jay-Z in the 2008 “Roc Boys” video — was introduced to the singer by another industry exec earlier this year. He was instantly smitten.

“They’ll keep in touch while she’s away,” the snitch adds. “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.”

Great news, Brits: Pop’s Bajan princess Rihanna is set to perform on the British talent show The X-Factor later this month. The “Disturbia” hitmaker will belt out her new single “Russian Roulette” from her forthcoming album, Rated R, on a program airing Nov. 22.

“I am beyond excited – it was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. A lot of people watch the show over here (in America) on YouTube and I personally caught a lot of it when Leona Lewis was on, who’s an amazing artist,” Rihanna said Wednesday. “So, to say yes to (show boss) Simon (Cowell) was an honor, especially as I know the show so well.”

Alexandra Burke and Cheryl Cole are also expected to perform on the results show. Meanwhile, Rihanna’s fourth studio album is slated for release the day after her X-Factor appearance.
