RiRi was looking fabulous in Sydney earlier today (April 11th). She was on her way to a restaurant to celebrate her best friend’s birthday. We’re loving the look!

When Fox FM’s Matt & Jo caught up with Rihanna in Sydney, not only did she get personal with Matt, she told them what it was like the first time she met Beyoncé and Jay Z’s little one, Blue Ivy.

“I went to visit her once and honestly, it’s very surreal. It’s almost like you don’t want to touch her. I held her and I just felt like “Oh my God, she’s gonna break”, she’s so tiny and cute and precious.”

She also discussed why she is so honest in interviews.

“I guess I just don’t like living my life making up stories and having to remember them all.”

Watch the interview after the jump!

Controversy is never very far from Rihanna these days. With the pop superstar in Sydney next week for the April 10 premiere of Battleship – her first Hollywood film – Rihanna is making headlines for her rumoured, romantic hook-up with newly single actor, Ashton Kutcher. On top of that, the Umbrella singer revealed last week in an interview that she feels “comfortable” being naked. But Rihanna, 24, denies courting attention – insisting she is simply living her life.

“I think the term rebellious is a term society has created for people being themselves,” she says. A lot of people just aren’t like the others and they understand that and they have accepted that, and they are not afraid to be that, and people don’t understand that and that’s why it comes off as rebellious. But to me, it’s just doing things my way, things that I believe in.”
