Rihanna will always give the folks something to talk about. As she always say: “they can say whatever, Ima do whatever.”

The “Cake” singer graced the cover of Harper Bazaar’s August 2012 issue looking pure and angelic in an all white Tom Ford gown and dished on how hard it is for her to fall in love again while dishing about how her first time falling in love turned to pain.

Check out the excerpts and full spread below

On her collabo with Chris Brown
The fans could have said, ‘We don’t want anything to do with it’. I understood that people had every right to be concerned about it. But I didn’t see it that way because I’m in a different place.

Rihanna on whether she can open up in relationships again
When I was in love, I fell so hard. I was really, really, really in love. The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I’d feel that pain in my life. I’m afraid of feeling that again.

On being rebellious
[I'm] rebellious through my music, through my fashion, tattoos, and my hair. I have been conservative in my love life… it’s pretty much nonexistent. If I come across someone who I find really cool, I’ll hang out. But the minute I find that we’re getting too close I just—I don’t let people in.

On losing weight and her booty
I don’t know if there’s something going on with my body right now, but I’m eating everything in life! I miss my ass. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it’s not living up to its full potential right now.”

Gotta love Ri Ri!!!
