Rihanna

Rihanna wanted to duet with Chris Brown because he is "dirty" and shocking. The 24-year-old singer chose her ex-boyfriend and rapper - who was convicted of assaulting her three years ago - to collaborate with on her hit single 'Birthday Cake' because she thought it would be "cute" to team up with a man.

She said: "I thought it would be cute to do it with a guy. I wondered, who can be dirty, someone who people will really believe?" Rihanna and Chris have made peace since 2009's altercation, and while she understands people have "every right to be concerned" about the pair working together, the brunette beauty insists her fans are keen for them to collaborate again.
