Rihanna Is Head Over Heels in Love

And about time, too. The Barbadian beauty has completely "fallen for hot" Josh Hartnett - and seems to love every second of it, as she was recently spotted "kissing and cuddling" Josh in a New York nightclub last month. Even more - and most unusually in the sometimes secretive world of celebrity romance - the beautiful singer has confirmed that she and Hartnett are dating.

"I would be lying if I told you we were not more than just friends. I have so fallen for him, he is lovely. He is so hot and he is really sweet to me. When we hang out it feels right - even though it's still pretty new", she stated at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo. The romance rumors first started going round and about four weeks ago when the pair was seen intimately enjoying each other's company as they shared a table and drank Dom Perignon champagne at the New York nightspot Pink Elephant.

Josh reportedly decided to make his move the day after he watched Rihanna perform at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square, dressed in rather racy stage outfits. The actor too did not deny rumors that he was romancing Rihanna and artfully avoided questions about the close embrace they reportedly shared during a TV interview. When asked if he had been kissing Rihanna, Josh stuttered: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! No, no, no. Come on you guys! This is, uh, we weren't supposed to talk about these things were we?"

Well, if things work out between these two and they make it as a couple, watch out Brad and Angie. Rihanna and Josh are younger, hotter and between them have enough talent to take Hollywood by storm. I only hope they find enough time to make sure their relationship lasts. Anyway, fingers crossed and we hope they will eventually decide to go out more and allow paparazzi to photograph them together - we definitely could use more pictures of these two.

I mean, we've already heard lots of rumors about potential love interests for Rihanna, the latest of which was Transformers actor (and recently arrested) Shia LaBoeuf - but given his latest antics, perhaps it's better that the whole thing blew over. Josh has previously been linked to his "Black Dahlia" co-star Scarlett Johansson and also with supermodel Helena Christensen.
