Rihanna gets billed and bored

Rihanna is the cover girl for the current issue of Billboard Magazine. A few weeks ago, Rihanna bitched about her BFF Katy Perry, and how Katy was "general pop."u00a0

The not-so-subtle insinuation being that Rihanna's music is NOT "generic pop" but instead... like, the best music in the world, I guess?

Anyway, in her Billboard interview Rihanna is taking Lady Gaga to task... over fashion trends.

Rihanna on people who dress like Lady Gaga:



"A lot of people dress like Lady Gaga now. I've just stepped off into a whole new look and style.

The whole shoulder pad thing, and the architectural look, is so sharp-edged and tough. I'm over that. I like floral prints now, which I never liked.

Trends are boring," she adds. "It's boring to see everyone doing the same thing."
On her last album, Rated R, and Chris Brown:

"'Rated R' showed that I wasn't a shallow artist," she says. "I have some depth. There was definitely some growth, going through that dark moment in my life."

Rihanna never refers to her relationship with Brown in specifics and says she "definitely" prefers to let "Love the Way You Lie" speak for itself, which of course is made easier by the fact that it's not on her own album.

"It's kind of like the closing to that chapter, and now we're in a new stage," she says.
