    Single girl Rihanna says she’s too busy for love in revealing TV interview

    We’re pretty sure that she’s not short of offers, but Rihanna has revealed that her love life is non-existent due to her gruelling work schedule.

    The raunchy pop star, who is currently number one in the UK and US with her tracK We Found Love, said in a TV interview with Ellen DeGeneres in the US that being single ‘sucks’ and left the chat show host stunned when she described the state of her sex life.

    ‘My personal life is pretty much non-existent which is not good. Not for the long run, not for me, not for her,’ Rihanna said as she pointed to her nether regions.

    The superstar singer added: ‘I'm not necessarily happy being single, it's not really that cool. It sucks, but it is what it is. I do put a lot into my job – most of my time, if not all of it. It definitely effects my personal life.’
