Despite reports that Rihanna is now dating again, the singer told Access Hollywood and “The Billy Bush Show” that she’s very much single and ready to meet new guys.

“I’m not dating anyone… I’m not dating anyone,” the singer told Billy Bush on Thursday.

She might not be attached to any one particular guy, but she revealed that she has her eyes open when it comes to possible new suitors.

“I’m single and ready to mingle!” she said, but added that her main focus is her music. “I don’t really want to date night now,” she continued. “I don’t want a serious relationship only because it’s a lot of time and energy and a big commitment. And right now I’m just focused on ‘Rated R,’ [which] is like a child, it needs a lot of attention and is a lot of hard work and a lot of sleepless nights.

And Rihanna would like her fans to know she’s not having any sleepless nights with “90210’s” Tristan Wilds, which has been reported by numerous online gossip Web sites recently.

“I don’t know if I would say he’s my friend,” Rihanna said when asked rumors of a romance with Tristan. “He came to one of my parties, but we don’t have even have each other’s cell phone numbers, so I don’t know what you call that.”

When contacted by Access Hollywood, a rep for Tristan had “no comment” about reports that he was linked to Rihanna.

    6. rihanna should date jesse williams. he looks so hot in the RR video. they would make super beautiful babies. but if she decides to stay single and focus on music it's all good.

    8. cold case love

      That is nothing new. They are always trying to paint her as some HO. Those idiots are going to title that BS 'Told Ya So!!!!!!!!!' As if they ever have the inside scoop on anything. UGH. Sometimes I want to get mad as hell at the way MTO and Bossip be doing her but I don't. I stay focus on getting her to number 1. That will surely shut their asses up. They try so hard to make her out to be the villian. But, when her shit go to number 1, they will see all of that was done in vain.

    9. You"d have to be a complete nimrod to believe anything from mto. They have

      been busted so many times telling lies, so I wouldn't worry about what they print. I

      believe that rihanna hasn't lost any fans, and has in fact gained fans. No one I know

      who loved her during GGGB, dislike her now.

    11. That's it, Rihanna. Take your time and do you for a minute. It's good to evaluate where you've been and what you will or won't accept going forward. I personally feel everyone should know what it feels like to recover from a broken heart. It makes you stronger and wiser if give yourself time. JMHO.

    14. In the Two Radio Interviews that are posted on here, Not once did she say she's ready to mingle. She was asked if she missed CHris, and at first she said there are times, and then she corrected herself and said yes, and went to explain how she misses him when she is reminded of thre times by staying at the hotels they stay at, hearing there favorite songs play, and hearing his music. Oh SHe definitely intends to do just as she pleases regardless of what any female or Male for that matter have to say about not liking Chris. Thats not to say there together, and thats not saying they even will be. Thats just saying that they were ripped apart by a legal document stating that they can't see eachother for five years, and yes it was against there will. And Rihanna's because she requested to Judge Patricia Schenegg that the stay away order was unecessary and in fact she said it was and I quote, "Ridiculous".. So they will and she will do what makes her heart content. SHe also said on Good Morining AMerica she still loves and cares for him// SO I don't know whre these writers on here or anywhere else get there stories cause thats not the two intervies in the last two days I heared..

    16. Kodie Blue, go to Access Hollywood and read/listen to the interview she did with BILLY BUSH! She most def. said she is single and ready to mingle–sorry to break it to ya. She said her first priority is her career and this project, she is not dating anyone, but she's ready to MINGLE.

    19. Oh ok Corrine. I Heared the two on here. And in the one they asked her if she was ready to date anyone just the day before yesterday, and she said no. Relationships require too much ime and effort, and are no different than having another career. So if she told one Radio interviewer that, and then in another said she's single and ready to mingle. It made me like? DId the interview where she said she was ready to mingle even happen? Personally, I think she's careful about coming off as "Not Over Chris" Because her words sound very sincere when she talks about missing him and still Loving and caring for him. ANd she sounded very Firm on not wanting to date at this time just two days ago.. SO it made me wonder how she could go from bein single, and not wanteing to Date anyone at this time and just wanting to focus on her career to being single and ready to mingle in an interview a day later??? I think she says the ready to mingle part in a more lighthearted manner than she said the opposite.. TO me she put more emotion into saying she still misses Chris and more emotion into saying she would rather focus on her career than anything else I've heared her say, but I'll have to listen to the interview.. DId anyone hear her album yet? Its Crazy Good!!! Definititely Looking Forward to it. I actually heared it on a thread about a week ago for the first time.. So the majority of it seems like she's venting alot of emotions from the sRelationship and confessing her Love, ANger, COnfusion, Loneliness, Strength, and Vulnerabilities.. Its a very EMotionally Raw Album! Very Good!!
