RIHANNA - RIHANNA 'CONFIRMS' BROWN ROMANCE

RIHANNA has moved a step closer to confirming her relationship with R+B star CHRIS BROWN, by admitting they are "very close".
The pair have frustrated fans and the press by refusing to speak out about their relationship - despite being inseparable for months, and even holidaying together in the Caribbean.
Speaking to Elle magazine, Rihanna, 20, stops short of confessing her love for 19-year-old Brown - but she admits they are more than just friends.
The Umbrella hitmaker says, "We've always been friend. But we're very close now."
