On her “forced� innocent image….

“The title of the album represents my liberation. Being able to break out of the innocent image I was forced into. So it matches the new sound, the new image, the new haircut… the new everything.�

On dating…

“Every time I meet someone new, I keep my guard up. Some of these guys are just too slick. But I’m ready for them.�

What does it take for a guy to get a date with this hottie…

“Definitely a great body, a great physique! Tall and handsome.�

The first thing Rhianna checks out on a guy….

“His height. I mean, there are some cute short guys but I prefer to look up, not down.�

Does dancing ability affect whether she’ll want to get to know a guy….

“Absolutely! I love to dance and love seeing people dance. I’m from Barbados- it’s all about rhythm and groove. I just adore dancing; it’s such a great art.�

The craziest thing anyone has done to get her attention…

“The other night I was hanging out in SoHo with one of my friends. As we got into the SUV, about 100 kids just started chasing us. One guy was such a superfan that he jumped onto the car while we were driving and his face was implanted on the window. It was so funny. He was just screaming my name. It was very intense, but a funny experience.�

On the worst pickup line she has ever heard…

“Ugh. I have a really pathetic one. This guy told me to give him a remedy because I’m his doctor. He thought it was so fly, but it was really corny.�

On guys being different in the States from the ones in her homeland…

“Barbados is such a small country. Everyone knows everyone’s business, so the guys tend to be loyal and show their girls a lot of attention. The guys in America, you never know what they’re up to. Especially now that I’m traveling a lot, there’s no way I can keep an eye out. That’s one of the downfalls. But there are great guys in America; too, I have to say.�

On her experience working with some very big stars….

“I loved it. It was my first time working with Justin but I’ve always been a huge fan- now more then ever. He’s extremely talented; a lot of people don’t know that not only is he a great vocalist, hes a great producer as well. And Jay-Z, it’s just an honor to have a collaboration with him. Ne-Yo, it’s always fun to work with him. He’s a great guy and a great songwriter. Timbaland is just the kind of production, so it was an honor to work with him. And he’s also a fun guy in the studio.�
