Rihanna has "abruptly ended" an interview following a question about her love life.

The 24-year-old 'Battleship' star - who has recently been linked with Ashton Kutcher and ex-boyfriend Chris Brown - called time on her chat with Australian show Sunrise when asked about how "frustrating" it was to be linked to other Hollywood stars, even when she barely knows them.

Appearing annoyed, she replied: "Very frustrating. Almost as frustrating as being asked about it. I mean, what's the point."

Defending the question, the reporter explained: "Well people are interested in you, you're a big star," to which Rihanna responded: "They are. And they're interested in a lot of things - a lot of things that don't matter. Or shouldn't."

A voice-over then explains that the interview was "abruptly ended", making it the second time is as many months that the We Found Love hitmaker - who was spotted making a late-night visit to Ashton's house in March - has expressed her annoyance over questions about her relationships.

Quizzed about the rumoured romance at a London press conference, a female reporter asked: "You're so good at connecting with people that I think that we actually feel we know you. Things are clearly going brilliantly in your career. I just wondered if you are as happy in your private life, and will we see a certain Mr. Ashton Kutcher perhaps making a trip over here?"

Clearly irritated, Rihanna replied: "Wow, how disappointing was that question?"

When the mediator asked if she wanted to move on to the next question, Rihanna agreed "absolutely" before adding, "I'm happy and I'm single, if that's what you're really asking."
