A report in The Sun says that pop star Rihanna is itching for some “action between the sheets” as well as some of her mum’s spicy beef stew this Holiday Season.

Rihanna’s new album Rated R was released yesterday, and she was doing press to promote the record when she made these comments to the British press.

The singer said she has avoided the dating scene since her much publicized relationship with Chris Brown ended with allegations of a brutal assault on her back in February.

“That’s not too much to ask, right?” Rihanna asked before talking about how her mom’s home cooking will help her reach at least one of her Holiday Season goals.
