You sure you're not an item? Rihanna and Drake fuel romance rumours

They've been linked romantically together numerous times but so far both Rihanna and Drake have brushed off rumours they're dating. But they're doing little to dispel speculation in their new joint video for Drake's single Take Care as they demonstrate their chemistry.

 Drake released the clip yesterday, which showed the pair cosying up as they embrace in a number of intimate clinches. Rihanna smokes up the screen with her off shoulder white chunky knit cardigan. And the pair were happy to get close for the promo as they embraced in a number of intimate cuddles. 

Drake sings the track as he strokes Rihanna's bare shoulder while she smoulders and rests her head on his chest. The clips of the two superstars are interspersed with images of flying birds, snowly landscapes and charging bulls to add to the s*xy feel to the video. And it's not only the clip itself which has caused a stir, re-fuelling murmurs of a relationship between Rihanna and Drake. 

The director of the video, Yoann Lemoine, also ignited rumors last month when he described the closeness the stars share. He told MTV News: 'They seemed to be super close and that's what I wanted for the video. Visually, it's a very humble video. ... It's not crazy.

'I'm single': Rihanna angrily denies she's dating Ashton Kutcher

Rihanna has poured cold water over claims she is secretly dating Ashton Kutcher.

The 24-year-old singer insisted she was 'single and happy' at a photocall in London today when asked if she was romancing the Two And A Half Men star.

It comes after the Barbados-born star was spotted leaving the actor's Hollywood home at 4am on March 22.

Rihanna became defensive when a British reporter asked her: 'You're so good at connecting with people that I think that we actually feel we know you. Things are clearly going brilliantly in your career. I just wondered if you are as happy in your private life, and will we see a certain Mr. Ashton Kutcher perhaps making a trip over here?'

The Love The Way You Lie singer then responded: 'Wow, how disappointing was that question?'

She then went on to add: 'I'm happy and I'm single, if that's what you're really asking.'

Rihanna appeared at a photocall with her Battleship co-star Brooklyn Decker, who outshone the singer in a cut-out dress.

Rihanna swapped her rude girl style and raunchy stage get-ups for a ladylike dark olive green frock as she attended a promotional event for the film.

Katy Perry disses Beyonce's duet with Shakira as she talks about upcoming Rihanna collaboration

After singing a cover of a Jay-Z track Katy Perry took an apparent swipe at his wife Beyonce.

The California Gurl singer was talking about her upcoming collaboration with Rihanna - saying she wanted their track to be 'iconic'.

Katy then went on to cite Beyonce and Shakira's 2007 song Beautiful Liar - suggesting it would not stand the test of time.

After performing a cover of Jay-Z and Kanye West's song N**gas in Paris on the UK's Radio 1, Katy explained how she and Rihanna 'collaborate on a lot of things, just not songs yet' adding, 'we have a great friendship'.

Referring to their upcoming collaboration she said: 'Its' one of those things where it's gotten so much build up that if we don't' deliver, like, the best song... We're both busy, but we planted a seed two years ago, we're just looking for that special one.

'How disappointed would you be if that song came out and it wasn't that good? So sometimes you have to wait for greatness.'

Katy explained she would like the track to be iconic and empowering, rather than s*xy, like Shakira and Beyonce's Beautiful Liar.

She added: 'I was telling her, you know the Eurythmics song featuring Aretha Franklin, Sisters are Doing it for Themselves... That's like the kind of song which I'd like to do, rather than Beautiful Liar'.

She then attempted to backtrack, adding: 'Although that is still a great song... I loved that but I definitely want to do something which is iconic.'

Earlier, Katy performed a rendition of the controversial track N**gas in Paris during a Live Lounge session on the BBC radio show.

But instead of singing the track word for word, Katy ensured she changed the lyrics to 'Ninjas in Paris' for the mid-morning appearance.

As she geared up for the show, hosted by Fearne Cotton, the singer was clearly excited and warned her online devotees on Twitter she would be showing off a different side to herself.

She wrote: 'ISH is gonna get CRAY on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge starting @ 10am w/ @fearnecotton! Gonna show u a different side...I start singing @ 12!'

But while she's usually altering her image to cause more attention and controversy, this time she opted for more of a good girl one.

And the 27-year-old enjoyed the session so much, she wrote to Fearne afterwards: 'That was so fun. Can we do it again soon? #radio1livelounge #livinglive.'

How Rihanna's father told the singer she was too tubby

She's one of the most lusted after women in the world, and regularly delights fans with the s*xy pictures she posts on her Twitter page.

But Rihanna's father has come forward to admit that last time he saw the singer, he told her she was too fat.

In an interview with heat magazine, Ronald Fenty told the publication that Rihanna has been on a strict diet since his tactless revelation.

He said: 'I actually thought she was a little fat last time I saw her.'

However, Ronald added that when he saw Rihanna again at the Grammy awards earlier this month, she was back to looking 'excellent'.

He said: 'When I saw her this time, I thought she was back to her normal size. I used to joke with her, "Robyn, you're getting too fat!" But I think she's fine, I think she looked excellent, as everyone saw, at the Grammys.

'She's dieting, she's working out.'

But in an interview with Vogue magazine last April, Rihanna had said she didn't want to lose any weight, but was keen to tone up.

She said: 'For the first time, I don't want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it's not unhealthy, so I'm going to rock with it.'

Ronald also spoke to heat about the recent announcement that Rihanna has collaborated with ex Chris Brown, who assaulted the singer in 2009.

Speaking about Brown, Ronald said: 'Chris is a nice guy and everyone is entitled to make a mistake in their life - God knows how many I've made. She's her own woman now.'

Rihanna and her father have always had a fractious relationship, and only began speaking again in 2010 after years of refusing to communicate.

When they made contact once more, Ronald said at the time: 'Maybe we’re not as close as we were when she was growing up here ... But we are blood, we do not stay angry.'
