Rihanna's hectic touring and recording schedule have left her without a man and she's not happy about it.
"I'm not dating at all. My personal life is pretty much non existent, which is not good. Not for the long run, not for me, not for her," she said pointing down towards her v*gina. "It's not fun...that's why I stay on Twitter a lot so I can conversate with my fans because I don't get any booty calls"
The pop star told Ellen only a certain type of man appeals to her.
"I like men who are more aggressive, but mysterious," she said. "But I like a man to be very sure."
Until the right guy comes along the singer will stay occupied with her work. Her new album, Talk That Talk, drops November 21.

Jay-Z's father walked out on his family when Hov was 11-years old. The pain that caused the rapper still bothers him to this day. Now, as he prepares to become a father for the first time himself, he says he's sure he won't make the same mistakes his dad made, although he's still a little paranoid.
"It makes me a little paranoid because no matter what, I don't think any person, or any male, goes into a relationship thinking that they're going to leave or wouldn't be there," he told PEOPLE. "I think the circumstances a lot of times dictates things, right?"
Hov added that his principles are what sets him apart and he believes that ultimately that's what it comes down to.
"I'm just a different kind of guy," he says. "I'm a highly principled person. I come from a real place where you had to be a highly principled person. So, I'm pretty confident that I'll figure it out."

Eminem and new Shady Records signee Yelawolf get the cover of Vibe's latest issue. Check out an excerpt of the interview the two did for the publication
This issue hits newsstand December 6th.
Oh, you called him that on the BET Awards Cypher. I didn’t realize it was an ongoing joke?
EM: Yeah, or Beige Sheep. [Laughs]
YW: Cracker Nuts. Whatever, I think it’s kinda unspoken.
EM: We deal with it enough as it is. So now, let’s make music.
YW: Let’s make great records. At the end of the day, that’s all there is to do.
Yelawolf's thoughts on White Rappers using the N-Word:
When Yelawolf heard the presumptu- ous white female rapper V-Nasty was peppering her sarcastic raps with the N- word, he called it embarrassing, telling VladTV that an N-bomb-dropping white rapper might find themselves “slapped up, and it might be by a white boy.” While he admits to using the word as a child, he says the word term is off limits for any white person, rapper or otherwise.
“[In Alabama] we have a dark his- tory concerning the relationship be- tween Black and white people. I’m not a role model by any means, but if I said it around the house I got popped in the mouth,” he says, noting that his Black friends used the word as a term of endearment for him as well.

Brian Bradley aka The Astronomical Kid, showed that he's still got some growing up to do after melting down on X-Factor yesterday.
The 15-year old Brooklyn MC found himself in the bottom two of the competition this week along with 42-year old Stacy Francis. The two were asked to sing/rap so the judges could vote for who they wanted to remain in the competition, but Astro's heart wasn't in it.
"On the real, I really don't wanna perform. I really don't think it's necessary," he said before turning to L.A. Reid. "But I'mma leave it up to you. You're my mentor. Do you think I should perform?"
Reid encouraged him to perform, telling him that he had come a long way in the competition.
After performing Never Can Say Goodbye by The Jackson 5, it was time for Astro to face the judges panel of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Reid and Nicole Scherzinger.
"Astro I thought you came out and you acted a little bit like a quitter and it upset me," Reid told him. "Because you're too talented and you've come too far than to come out and give a lackluster performance after all the great performances you've given. Is that fair?"
Nicole and Paula were not as harsh, but Cowell didn't hold back.
"I don't like your attitude right now. So, just do me a favor and stop folding your arms, look at me and think about your mom watching this show," Cowell said. "Because you are showing disrespect to your mom, you're showing disrespect to the audience at home, and I don't like people with this attitude."
By now the audience had started to turn against him, but Astro was still defiant.
"No disrespect to you or this show, but I just feel like if you're going to put me in the bottom two, I don't want to perform for people who don't want me here, you know what I'm saying? That's it," Astro said while trying to fight back tears.
After a vote of 3-1, with Scherzinger voting in favor of Stacy, the judges decided to keep Astro although Cowell said he really didn't want to.
Check out Astro's performance and subsequent meltdown below.
