'I'm a size zero and not happy about it': Rihanna fails to disguise her shrinking frame in a baggy red outfit as she admits she wants her 'old butt back'

Although many celebrity women strive to achieve the tiny and often elusive size zero figure, Rihanna isn't too happy with her own shrinking frame.
'I'm a size zero - and not happy about it,' she told Us Magazine.  'I went way too far. I prefer myself a bit chunkier. I want my old butt back.'
The star failed to disguise her tiny figure in a baggy bright red sweater which she teamed with matching trousers for dinner at Da Silvanos restaurant in New York earlier today.

Unusual multi-coloured brogue shoes completed the look, and the 24-year-old singer wore her long black hair up in a high ponytail as she left the eatery with a female friend.
Rihanna told Us that her slimline figure is down to her ultra-hectic schedule, after she made the leap to the big screen with the film Battleship.
'I want to do two more [movies] before touring again next year,' she told the magazine. 'My schedule is crazy.'

The singer was even hospitalised with fatigue after her appearance at the Met Ball last month, famously tweeting a photograph of herself with an IV in her arm.
'I got no sleep [beforehand],' she explained to Us. 'It's harsh on your body!'
However, many reports say that the star has been partying too hard, and needs to slow down.
A friend told U.K Look magazine: 'She's reached breaking point. Ri says she's physically and mentally exhausted and feeling lost.

'I think she desperately needs help and some time off - not just from work but from all the other stresses in her life too.'
The star has also been the subject of constant media speculation that she is on the verge of getting back together with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

The two pop superstars were spotted partying at the same club at the same time for the second time in as many days, leaving within minutes of each other earlier this week.
Video also emerged of Chris and Rihanna leaving Avenue nightclub in New York.

TMZ reported the pair were in the club together for around 30 minutes and Brown spent some time with the Rude Girl singer at her table.
Sitting in different booths, the couple still 'kept a close eye on each other' - and Brown sent her over two bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne.
The lovelorn pair have been linked together several times already this year, after it emerged that they had recorded songs with each.
And of late wherever Rihanna is, Brown isn't far behind, as they party at birthday celebrations and nightclubs in West Hollywood.

The sighting comes after another sign that Rihanna is paving the way for a reconciliation with singer Chris , as the raunchy singer reportedly invited the singer to attend a basketball game party on Saturday with her family.
The singer and Brown joined her family - including grandfather Lionel Braithwaite on Saturday at an intimate gathering at Jay-Z's New York club 40/40 to watch the Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics.

The singer and Brown joined her family - including grandfather Lionel Braithwaite on Saturday at an intimate gathering at Jay-Z's New York club 40/40 to watch the Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics.
A source told The New York Post: 'Rihanna arrives first in a yellow cab, with her family and friends, and was escorted to a private room.
'Brown arrived a little later and joined her and her family.'

The pair have been spotted together often in recent weeks.

On Saturday night, however, it seemed the two were more than just friends, with Brown's girlfriend, model Karrueche Tran not in attendance.
They were allegedly sitting together on the same couch, rooting for the Heat.
However, when asked about reconciliation rumours, a rep for Brown told the MailOnline: 'Chris is very happy in his relationship with his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran.
'Meanwhile, sources told The Post Rihanna’s management is calling the rekindled friendship the 'Chris Brown issue.

'Everyone in the business assumes she and Chris are getting back together, and it is only a matter of time before they’ll be more public about it,' the source told the newspaper.
'It’s like she is testing the water — first they work on music together, then they hang out in a friendly way, so the public won’t be completely shocked when they step out together publicly.'
Brown infamously left the Barbadian pop singer bruised and bloodied after assaulting her ahead of the Grammys in 2009.
