Rihanna lonely and unhappy

Rihanna says fame has made her lonely and unhappy.
The 'Umbrella' singer revealed her rise to success has been painful as she
has been exposed to the "dark" side of celebrity.

Rihanna said: "Fame is lonely. At first, I was on an adrenaline high - this
is my dream. I'm actually doing it, it didn't phase me that I was alone,
that I wasn't with the people I love. But after a while it gets repetitive
and that is when you think, 'Oh wow, I am sitting in a hotel room once
again, just me and the television.'
"When you are in the spotlight, people are like, 'What do you have to worry
about?' They forget that the success is one great aspect of your life, but
behind that there are problems, there are dark sides, there is loneliness
and unhappiness."
The 19-year-old star also admits she has struggled to make true friends in
the music business because she can't trust any one.
She added: "In this business people are shallow, they are dishonest. You
can't trust them.
"I have always had a thing for reading people. When I come into contact with
a situation or a person, the first thing I do is just sit quiet for a little
while. I sit and watch you.
"It really helps me to understand how to play the game, and sometimes you
have to play it. It is a game that really sucks."
