Rihanna thinks people perceive her to be a ‘b***h’.
The ‘Russian Roulette’ singer says her shy side is often mistaken for rudeness because she isn’t always open and chatty when she meets new people.
She told WPGC radio: ‘I don’t really open up to a lot of people, usually I go very quiet.
‘If I don’t know someone often I don’t say very much, I observe and people think I am snooty because of that. People assume that I’m a b***h. But I don’t think that I am. I just don’t feel I have to be that enthusiastic if I don’t know who you are yet.’
Rihanna – who was famously assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown last February – also said that, despite the incident, she had never considered stepping out of the public eye and can’t see herself making the decision to do so in the future.
She added: ‘If I could step away from the music industry? I’d never do that because I really love what I do and it would be a shame to give this away because I dreamt about it for so many years.’

Savannah Miller used to dress sister Sienna up as a belly dancer.
Savannah – who now works with her actress sibling on fashion label Twenty8Twelve – admits she would put embarrassing clothes on her for fun.
She revealed: ‘I’d make her wear purple chiffon harem pants with an M+S bra I’d embroidered myself, and turn her into a little belly dancer.
‘Looking back, I can see that we’ve been working together on clothes in some capacity, for as long as I can remember.’
Discussing her collection – which is named after Sienna’s birthday – 31-year-old Savannah suggests the focus of the clothes has changed.
She said: ‘When Sienna and I first started, it was about designing clothes that we would want to wear.
‘Now, I feel the clothes are more about what our clients would want to buy, which is not always the same thing. I’ve learned to understand the customer, while remaining true to who we are.’
Savannah also admits to being surprised when she sees people wearing her designs.
She added to the Telegraph newspaper: ‘I will never forget wondering through Covent Garden one wintry day and seeing this girl wearing one of our poplin summer dresses with black tights and boots, and a chunky black cardigan.
‘She looked wonderful in a way I would never have expected; I love that people can take something of ours and make it their own.’

Pixie Lott may have lost out at Tuesday night’s (16.02.1) BRIT Awards but she was definitely a winner in the style stakes.
While the 19-year-old singer looked sensational in a black lacy dress, complete with black tights and shoes, it was her hairstyle which had everyone talking. Her long blonde locks fell in 1940s inspired waves over her shoulder, which complemented her outfit and red lipstick beautifully.
The ‘Mama Do’ hitmaker’s tresses were styled by current British Hairdresser of the Year Akin Konizi and he has given advice on how to recreate the look.
Akin – the Creative Director for award-winning hairdressing group HOB Salons – said: ‘To recreate this look firstly apply a generous spritz of High Hair Designer Spray 200ml by Wella Professionals to towel dried hair. Once rough dried, I used a finger waving technique at the roots, setting the ends. However, to achieve this look yourself at home, divide hair into 2 inch long by 1 inch wide sections and vertically tong the hair, making sure that all sections are styled in the same direction.
‘Once all the hair has been worked through, don’t be afraid to brush through and let the waves settle in, applying a serum based product such as High Hair Pure Glamour 75ml into your hands and gently run through the hair to eliminate any flyaway hairs and add a glass-like sheen. Finish with Shaper Fierce 400ml by Sebastian Professional for hold.’

Kelly Osbourne says the secret to her new slim figure is eating half an apple before bed.
The 23-year-old star – who has appeared at several New York Fashion Week events looking super-slender – has revealed her top diet tip to anyone looking to get in shape.
She said: ‘A trick I’ve learned is to eat just a little bit of something that has no carbs and no sugar in it before you go to sleep because it keeps your metabolism going. They say you should never eat before you go to bed, but I’ve found just having a tiny little snack – like half an apple or something like that – before you go to sleep really helps.’
Kelly also credits her appearance on US TV talent show ‘Dancing with the Stars’ for changing her entire attitude to food and exercise.
She told America’s Life and Style magazine: ‘I’ve completely changed the way I eat since doing ‘Dancing with the Stars’.’
Kelly – who is engaged to 20-year-old model Luke Worrall – also regularly does Pilates to stay in shape.
She said: ‘Pilates is amazing, my posture is so much better and I’m even starting to get muscles on my tummy – it’s incredible.’
