Rihanna addresses the Beyonce issue

Rihanna had a lot to say in the new issue of Allure….
Rumors about her hooking up with actor Josh Hartnett….
“This is what really happened, 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. You can’t even go out with a friend who’s a celebrity and have a good time without people making (bleep) up. Well, at least he’s good-looking, right?”
On her and Beyonce’s relationship and Jay Z….
“She’s Beyonce, and I’m (his) new protegee. When we see each other we say hi. We’re not enemies, but we’re not `friends’ friends.”
On her edgy bob haircut…
“The label didn’t want me to do this look. But cutting my hair, it made me stand out as an artist. I don’t care who likes it — this is me.”
