I've watched/listened to Rihanna interviews and she is a serious dumbass. So inarticulate and can't string a sentence together properly. So I am very surprised at this, considering how well-spoken and smart Shia is.

I hope this rumor is not true. I read somewhere that she said and I quote "England is like being in Europe, but everyone speaks English". Good God!

I thought too much was made of that quote; it's not really dumb. Most people in England refer to Europe as if it's somewhere else; we don't really consider ourselves part of Europe (in fact, an awful lot of people are completely anti-being part of Europe). Really, the only people I ever hear call England 'Europe' are Americans.
So, there may be lots of other evidence that Rihanna's dumb, but that little tidbit really isn't it.

But England *is* in Europe geographically...

^ Yes, that's what people with common sense would think.

Well, we're in Europe politically, but we don't really think of ourselves or refer to ourselves that way. I can't imagine a Brit calling themselves European. We're a pretty anti-social island, really - We like being alone! Bajans probably have our mindset. They don't call Barbados 'Small England' for nothing.

I know what you are saying, Ronette.
It's the same here in the US, which is part of the Americas, but we do not consider anyone outside of our borders Americans.
I don't necessarily think this is a dumb quote. I interpret it as Rhianna saying, Eupopeans speak many different languages, but England is a good representation of all of Europe where everyone speaks English.

No need to panic - today Rihanna said that they're just friends and in fact barely know one another.
