Rihanna gave some really dumb quotes about her romance with Josh Hartnett to the press, calling him “hot” and sounding like a school girl with a crush on the football quarterback. She claims to never drink, so what’s her excuse for saying this? Do you think he’s going to dump her like Cameron ditched Criss Angel after he gave her a public shout out?

“He is so hot and he is really sweet to me, she told reporters at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo. “When we hang out it feels right – even though it’s pretty new. I would be lying if I told you we were not more than just friends… I have so fallen for him, he’s lovely.”

The London Blog points out a possible fib in Rihanna’s statement that “it’s pretty new,” because Hartnett recently mentioned that he’d been involved with someone for a year. Did he just break up with whomever he was referring to or was it Rihanna and were they able to keep it quiet for this long? It’s possible Hartnett meant Helena Christensen, because weren’t they romantically linked, or where they just friends? Also, Rihanna was said to be going out with Shia LaBeouf a couple of months ago. I’m so confused:

Er, whaaaa? When I interviewed the Hotnett less than two weeks ago, he said he’d been dating his current girlfriend for A YEAR!

Poor Josh had scored teen kissing disease mono while filming 30 Days of Night and said, “Apparently I haven’t kissed enough people as I’ve been with the same girl for a year, so I don’t even want to know.”

How have Hartnett and Rihanna been together for an entire year with the news just getting out now? Maybe it was Hartnett who was fibbing. Do you think they’re going to stay together now that Rihanna has blabbed about it? Talking to the press about it openly seems to be a deal breaker for new celebrity relationships.
