Rihanna Loves Being With Hartnett

R&B beauty RIHANNA has fueled speculation she is dating JOSH HARTNETT –
after
admitting she “loves hanging out” with the star.

The 19-year-old singer last month (Dec07) denied reports of a romance
between
the pair, insisting she hardly knows the Black Hawk Down star.

But Rihanna now says she is close pals with Hartnett and emphasizes that
she
likes to get to know any potential suitors before settling down.

She says, “It’s good to be friends first. I don’t find it too hard to talk
to
male pals. When I hang out with Josh, it’s lovely.”
