Rumors were swirling about a possible spot on "X Factor," but Rihanna has just confirmed that she will not be joining Simon Cowell and former label boss L.A. Reid this time around.
The 23-year-old revealed to Ryan Seacrest earlier today (April 13), "It's something that I would have loved to do, actually. But our schedule doesn't allow and it's a demanding schedule to be on that show. You have to be around months at a time, which is impossible for me."
The Barbadian beauty also dished about the instant chemistry of her "S&M" team-up with Britney Spears, saying, "It was automatic; it was a go. She was great, really professional."
Rihanna continued, "I think that's what makes this collaboration so successful: It's two female artists within the same genre of music. We have similar sounds. It's very unexpected to see two artists collaborate and get together. The fans are really appreciative of that."
