After months of speculation, singer Rihanna has finally put to rest the rumours that she and Hollywood actor Josh Hartnett had a short relationship earlier in the year.

“This is what really happened,” she tells Allure magazine in their latest issue. “He and my management, they have each other’s contact information. I went to [the New York club] Pink Elephant, and he came by. All of a sudden, the next day, I’m seeing that we were kissing and hugging up each other.”

The 19-year-old, who’s up for six nominations at this year’s Grammy awards, continued with her denial, expressing her anger at the press for making up such a ridiculous tale.

“You can’t even go out with a friend who’s a celebrity and have a good time without people making [bleep] up,” the Umbrella singer added. “Well, at least he’s good-looking, right?”

In the same interview, Rihanna also tackled rumours she and fellow pop star, Beyonce (who happens to be the longtime girlfriend of Rihanna’s manager, Jay-Z) don’t really get along.

“When we see each other we say hi,” Rihanna said. “We’re not enemies, but we’re not ‘friends’ friends.”

Young RnB singer, Rihanna, has confirmed to ContactMusic.com that the rumours of her romance with Josh Hartnett are true: the pair are Hollywood’s newest couple.

Rihanna credits the Sin City actor as being “really sweet,” and says that while the relationship is still new, she’s fallen head over heels for the 29-year-old (who’s 10 years her senior).

“I’ve fallen for him big time. I would be lying if I (said) we were not more than just friends,” Rihanna gushed.

“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.”

At least this news will put rumours of her relationship with Beyonce’s man, Jay-Z, to rest.

New couple Penelope Cruz and Josh Hartnett are trying their best to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, after both celebs have had the pressures of the press affect their past couplings.

According to a source, the couple left posh L.A. restaurant, El Coyote, after being told all of the “private” rooms were booked out.

Intent on having a meal together away from prying eyes, Penny and Josh headed to another up-scale restaurant called The Little Door, in which they dined in the secluded Blue Room.

A waiter at the restaurant said: “They were touchy-feely all night, holding hands and kissing… They were cute.”

The couple left through separate doors, so as not to draw attention, but before they left, the waiter added: “they kissed goodbye.”

Penny and Josh have really been doing a good job of keeping things under wraps…before I read this article, I didn’t even know they were dating!

As Josh Hartnett rushed through Sydney airport yesterday with his ‘mystery brunette’ companion, he was in no mood to talk, bluntly telling photogs to “get f…ed.”

Rushing through an airport full of paps and abusing them for taking pictures of him and his companion…doesn’t sound like he has anything to hide, does it??

Perhaps this is the real reason behind the ‘tension’ in his relationship with his The Black Dahlia co-star, Scarlett Johansson? She is said to be ‘fed up’ with his constant absences due to filming commitments. This picture will probably only add fuel to the fire. [Source]
