Rihanna wet on a secret date with British R n B star Mr Hudson.

The 'Umbrella' singer took the 'Supernova' hitmaker to the London premiere of new Quentin Tarantino film 'Inglorious Basterds' on Thursday (23.07.09).

She was careful not to be seen with the up-and-coming star, however, until the screening had started.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Rihanna didn't want to make a big deal out of her going on a date with Mr Hudson, so she never told anyone she was bringing him.

"They have been meeting up secretly and on the red carpet they refused to be pictured together. Once they were inside the cinema though, they were stuck together like glue and then they both slipped out of the back door at the end to go for a meal."

Barbadian singer Rihanna, 21, has been single since splitting with singer Chris Brown after he assaulted her attacked her in an assault earlier this year. It is thought she was introduced to Mr Hudson by his mentor, rap superstar Kanye West.

The pair were later spotted together again at the screening's afterparty.
