Chris Brown's Rihanna Lust

Chris Brown has confessed he dreams of dating Rihanna.

The hip-hop star - who worked with the stunning singer on her hit single 'Umbrella' -is keen to take their friendship further.

He told America's Us Weekly magazine: "I've known Rihanna for years and I might have flirted with her a little bit at the MTV Video Music Awards.

"We're just friends. We're great friends. We haven't taken it to that next level YET.

"I'm single and ready to mingle."

However, Chris may have competition for Rihanna's affections.

Last month, it was claimed she is dating 'Transformers' star Shia LaBeouf.
